AN IMPENpING cRESLs.

Matters have gone from bad to
worse in Austria, and it seems almost
impossible to avoid civil war or a
disruption of the empire. The
Czechs are trying the same tactics
that they used in forcing the Ian
guage decree from. the Badeni min
istry, only in more violent form, and
which were copied by the Germans
in forcing Badeni out. Hungary is
looking on IN disgust, and not alto
gether unwilling to see the dual mon
archy go to pieces. So far the per-
sonal influence of the emperor and
the dread of consequences stand in
The way of complete disruption; but
at any time they may prove ineffect-
ual to stem the tide of social hostil-
ity which grows constantly more
bitter. Germans and Czechs hate
each other with extreme virulence,
and the Magyars are suspicious of
both.
The possible disruption of the en-
pire raises some very interesting
questions, the answers to which it is
impossible to forsee. Will German
Austria go to Germany? May not
great Hungarian empire, possibly
even a republic, be the magnet for
the Balkan principalities? What
will Russia and Germany say9 They
feel that they have right to dictate
the action of their neighbors in case
OF threatened revolution, as when
just now they forbade the Greeks to
dispense with King George and bis
courts, and an independent govern
ment in Southeastern Europe would
scarcely be to their liking. What is
TO become, too, of the famous Aus
tro Russian agreement in regard to
the partition of European Turkey
The next few weeks may see great
changes, unless Lord Salisbury's
steam roller gets to work.

The revenues under the Dingley
Act are not yet sufficient to meet
the expenses. It has now been in
operation four full months and has
yielded about S35,O0O,OOO, the de.
ficit being nearly 100000 for the
five months CT the fiscal ear. The
customs income was the smallest. for
the period in many years, and the
question has been raised whether the
new tariff is not, therefore, failure.
In answer to the contentious of its
opponents who dIsbelieved in it from
the first, its friends declare that nor
NAL conditions in importation have
not yet been reached; that immense
quantities of sugar, wool, wooden
goods we're imported in the four or
five months while the Dingley bill
was pending, in anticipation of the
advance in rates, and that the market
was so well stocked that importations
have consequently been unusually
light during the past four months.
Mr.. Dingley thinks the law is work
ing satisfactorily. He says the an
ticipatory lmportations paid upward
of $32,OO0,OO0 into the treasury; un.
der the present law they would have
paid over s83,OOo,O0O.. The in
ternal revenue features are working
admirably. Including the receipts
from this source, the income has adj
vanced from s1s,Ooo,oOO in August
to s24,oOo,Ooo. Two or three
months additional will show whether
the customs schedules are adequate
revenue producers. If any deficit is
left at all it. will probably be small
and can be met by an additional
tax on beer; or, better still, by less
extravagant appropriations. More
economy in expenditures would be
national blessing.

PRACTICAL MEN TO THE FRONT.

Mechanics Have Attained to Distin-
Euished Positions In Recent Years.
The master meu of Victoria's reign
have been, says the Review of Reviews,
not the politicians and statesmen, the
soldiers and sailors, the poets and
artists-they have beer the engineers,
the shipbuilders, the electricians, the
men who have yoked the thunderbolts
of Jupiter to the hammer of Vulcan and
have usurped the authority OF Neptune
over the waves, at the same time they
have outstripped the herald Mercury
by the speed of their dispatches. The
steam engine, the steam ship and the
electric wire have in 60 years effected
a more revolutionary change in the con-
ceptions of distance than all the mill
lenniums that have passed since the
stone age.
When the queen ascended the throne
the United States We're six times far
ther away than they are to-day. India
was 40 days distant, instead of 16; Aus
tralia six months, instead of six weeks.
While this shrinkage has been made
practical reality for all manner of brute
substances. a much more rapid and total
conquest of space and time has been
effected in the exchange of thought and
knowledge. The cables have enabled
us to beat the sun, to deliver messages
in London hours by the clock before
they started from India. To-day all
news Of Importance is practically re-
ported simultaneously all over the
whole world. Our steam ships bridge
every sea, our cables link every con-
tinent, and commerce, that spider OF
the planet, is weaving all the nations of
the world into one vast web, and the
home and nest and central abode of that
spider is the country and capital of our
queen.

It's Later Development and Its Wide
iy Extended Use.
"In DO one single thing" said the
middle-aged man, according to the
New York Sun, 'has there been great
er advance since l was boy than in
the introduction of the door spring into
comparatively common use. IsUppose
there must be now hundreds of patents
on door springs. Some of the springs
are well-nigh perfect. 1t is difficult to
see in what respect they could be i'm
proved But the main fact is the
door spring itself and it's common use
in buildings of more or less public
character, and many others as well.
"We don't shut doors now nearly as
much as we used to; we don't stop to
shut them. We are spared that trouble
and we save time. We open the door
nnd push on through and leave the door
take care of itself. In the time that it
would have taken us to close it we are
six, eight or ten feet off; but the door
is not neglected; it shuts itself, calm
ly, quietly and with certainty. as the
pan marches away. There is less slam
ming of doors now than ever, and few
er doors are left open; and the saving
of time effected by the use Of the self
closing door is in the aggregate ire
mendOuS.
Truly in no minor feature is the
progress of civilization more apparent
than in the present common use of the
door spring."

THE HAPPY DAYS OF AGE.
Old IdeH of Youths Carelessness Has
| No Foundation.


Youth takes itself with the same
seriousness which belonged to age in a
time of less knowledge; and one of the
greatest proofs of more complete mas
terry by the world of the art of living is
the wish and ability to be careless, says
Scribner's. The one who is learning to
dance counts the step. and that is what
age has ceased to do; while youth is still
whispering lone, two, three" most
sedulously to itself 1t is not that
things do not seem so important, nor is
it, as it is sometimes claimed. that age
or the age is more skeptical; but, gen.
orally, age nowadays has mastered it's
elementary knowledge earlier until it
has 1t as an actor of an often played role
and need not be coming the part all
the time. 1t does not lose its dignity
because, sometimes, like royalty, 1t
travels incognito; and if it chooses un-
der other titles to seek freer life it
knows how to do it and dares do it and
is welcome to, though it creates very
different state of things from any
that ever existed before. Seeing the
bent brows of sophomores and the SOL
emn eyes of "buds," no one dares to
talk longer of the happy, careless days
of youth. There is change. Age
"s'amuser;" and really, in view of the
present conditions. there is nothing to
be done except to advise youth to hurry
up as fast as it can and grow old.

A wARLIKE MISSIONARY.
He Didn't Believe In Cursing the
EneM-,

He Didn't Believe In Cursing the
EnemS.
That the warrie- spirit is not con-
fined to soldiers is clearly shown by
story of a missionary chaplain in Natal,
Rev. George Smith. Mr.. Smith had
been temporarily attached to the army
for the period of the campaign, and dur
ing the whole Of the long and fierce
Zulu attack right gallantly he played
his part In tending the sick, giving aid
to the wounded and comforting the
dying.
No one had greater share of danger
than he, and no one. says writer in
Blackwood's Magazine, showed a more
soldierly example of treating that dan
ger with calm Indifference. Not only
did he perform the duties of his Office,
but as every man who could handle a
rife was sorely needed to defend the
parapet, Mr.. Smith did essential service
by going round the various posts and
distributing reserve cartridges.
A good story went round the army in
South Africa bearing on the spirit OF
his professional conduct on ore occa
sion.
One Of the men, in the heat and ex
element of battle, was cursing his en-
emies and using most profane Ian
guage. The chaplain, coming behind
heard his words, and said:
"You should not speak like that, my
friend. Don't curse themi" Then, shov

LOADING BY ELECTRICITY.
Newly Uncovered Power Much Used
in Handling Cargoes.

Newly Uncovered rover Much Used
I'm Handling Cargoes.
A few years ago the idea of loading a
ship with 2 $500 tons of flour in "a hours
by means OF two small motors would
have been looked upon as absurd. This
was done the other day in Tacoma, says
an exchange. Two thousand tons of
cargo have frequently been loaded or
unloaded in day by steam power, but
the important factor in the record
breaking achievement at Tacoma was
that the conveyor was worked by cleo
tricity. With the apparatus which has
been designed for the purpose flour and
grain can be loaded at any stage of the
tide and independently of the weather.
If it should rain a canvas Is quickly
to the ships hatch. With the system of
loading ordinarily used 1s men are re-
quired to do the work of one electric
conveyor, with which the bags are de-
Hvered into the ships hold at the rate
Of $500 to 2,700 pounds a minute, or
IS tons an hour. When extra speed is
desired two conveyors are employed.
This was done when the record of $500
tons in "a hours was made. The electric
conveyor is 40 feet long. 1t is moved
at will on two wheels In the center. A
two-horse power motor supplies the
power, the current being taken from
the nearest electric wires. The sacks
are placed on a revolving belt of rubber,
which passes over IL rollers. The belt
is propelled by driving wheel at
tached to the side Of the apparatus. The
rolls are placed close together and the
belt revolves at sufficient speed to car
ry all the weight in -four or grain that
can be placed upon it The conveyor
works as well when placed at an angle

men were terror stricken at the sight
before them. 1t seemed as though
those dreadful knives must reach
them.
Aye, fully hundred of the savage
monsters had gained the ships rail
and nettings, when one who seemed
to be their chief,-a tall, gaunt savage,
with a pyramid of feathers on his
head, took his knife in his hand. and
sent forth mighty yell; whereupon
the others took their knives III their
hands; gave each an answering yelI,--
and leaped down upon the deck.
Instinctivelv the crew of the ship
crouched back, and brough. mp their
pistols; but there WAS no need of
striking yet. Each man of that pi
rate crew, as his feet struck the deck,
trod at least uqon dozen of those
sharp pointed tacks. Into the leather
like soles of those Malay feet those
horrible tacks were driven to their
hsads; and, under the first stroke of
terrific pain down they went-the
whole lot of them-upon their hands
and knees, and filled the air with
howls of anguish. Worse. and more
of it! Into their knees and into the
broad palms of their hands went the
torturing tacks, until the savage
horde were literally insane with the
exquisite pain.
Babson conld not find it in his heart
to fire pistol, norito use cutlass;
but he called upon his men to seize
the handsplkes and strike, and they
did so,
The story of the next ten minutes
can be imagined much better than we
can tell it. Of course. not one of
those Malays could hold knife; for
every hand was pierced with the
tacks; they could not defend them
selves in any way, other than getting
back into their proa as quickly as
, possible. And this they DID. Though
their torture was dreadful, and though
! the act of either walking or crawling
make the torture more dreadful still,
yet, to save life, they endured the
lesser evil for the time.
It was just as the Malays had thrown
their grapplings that the breeze, from
the northwest, had struck the ship:
and, as the last of the piratical crew
were unceremoniously helped back
into their proa, the yards were braced
and the Gazelle, with thrill of pull
sating joy, moved safely away from
the scene of grotesque horror.
There were times when Capt Bah
son was inclined to blame himself for
having suffered a hundred blood
thirsty pirates to live whose lives had
been once so completely in his power,
either to take, or to spare; but two
sources of consolation were his: First
-he had not the blood of a defence
less fellow-creature upon his hands
and, second-he had caused those hun
dred wretches to suffer an agony of
torture to which death might have
been far preferable.
Capt. G. p Heustis, when he had
told me the story. smilingly added:
