Commenting upon Judge Wilson's
decision relative to the right of way
rights belonging to wheelmen, Consul
Boyle, of Philadelphia, says: There is
no law in the statutes which will COM
pei a lighter or unloaded vehicle to
waive it's right of way In favor of a
heavier or loaded vehicle. I believe, of
course, that the element of politeness
and courtesy should enter, and that
under ordinary circumstances a bicy-
Gle rider should turn out of the way for
heavy team, just as a young person
would step aside before an old one,
but there is no positive law to that ef-
feet" That depends upon who tries
the case.

Governor Leedy of Kansas is one OF
syndicate Of Populists which de-
clares that It will build a railroad
from central Nebraska through Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and
Texas to the gulf Each community
through which the road is to pass
is to hold stock and have a voice in
the management. The history of this
experiment, should it ever have one,
would probably be instructive.

The proposition which is under con-
sideration at Harrisburg to cancel the
prohibition on the sale Of oleomargar-
Inc and permit it to be sold in Penn
sylvania upon payment of a tax of
three cents a pound indicates a glim-
mer of light in the legislative mind,
but only a glimmer. If oleo is a safe
and nutritious food product, why
should it be taxed while butter goes
free? Wherefore this discrimination?

An inquiry among the registers of
wills of Pennsylvania reveals that an
astonishing shrinkage in bequests of
personal property has been taking place
in the past three years. Instead of
adding million and a quarter of dol
lars to the revenues of the common
wealth. as was expected, the recently
enacted inheritance tax is likely to
raise not to exceed 100000 per annum
This is urged at Harrisburg as a rea-
son for increased taxation, but it Is
really a reason only for increased
economy.

Never Drink on the Water.

ut is curious fact, easily verified,
that domesticated aquatic fowls do not
drink while they are swimming, re.
marked M. A. Fulton of Arkansas.
IAN old farmer friend of mine down
in Arkansas called my attention to this
short time ago, and l have since been
closely observing the habits of ducks,
geese and swans in this regard to see if
there was any variation from the rule
laid down by my friend. l have thus
far failed to find the least exception.
Two weeks ago watched flock Of
tame geese nearly all day to see if one
of them would not dip his beak down
in the water while padding along it's
surface and take drink. One shrewd
old gander twice startled me by swim
ming ashore and satisfying his thirst,
after reaching terra frma, by guzzling
copiously and with manifest relish
from the water along the bank and
then swimming out TO deep water
again. Even the goslings went through
the same performance when they grew
thirsty. would say the geese did this
because they had no better sense, but
when saw ducks and swans go through
the same performance l cannot bring
sweeping accusation of idiocy against
the already too much maligned goose
without including in the indictment all
other domesticated aquatic fowls Prob
ably the foolish and useless habit is due
to the fact that when young these ami
mails are taught to drink from troughs
and pans, and they haven't intelligence
enough to shake it off when they get
grown. l cannot account for it in any
other way. st. Louis Republic.

ON his last visit 10 Picking is q
matter OF common knowledge, but the
narration of TWO Instances that have
come directly under my notice may per.
haps serve to make the English reader
realize even more wildly how inexora-
BILE and how shamelessly open is the
systematic corruption.
The governor Of Kiangsu province.
who was an intimate friend Of Prince
Kung, thought TO take advantage of his
great influence by coming into the city
without bribing the gatekeeper. When
lac called upon his royal friend. Prince
Kung exclaimed: when did you Gomez
] cannot possibly recognize your pres.
ence, for have not seen your name in
the chung-wen-men report and he
had TO return and pay double the usual
bride to the gatekeeper before Prince
Kung would receive him. Even more
remarkable is the case of Tso-T chung.
Tong, one of the greatest of our gener-
ais, who, having suppressed the Moham-
medan rebellion in Turkestan, had &C
quired for the Celestial empire territory
about half as large as China itself The
emperor, who held him in high esteem,
wished TO see him and sent a special
summons calling him TO an audience at
Peking.
When on his coming to the city the
chung wen-men, or gatekeeper, de-
manded so, 900 tael, he refused to pay
anything. But even he was not officially
reported, and after he had remained
several months in Pekin, waiting for an
audience, the emperor issued another
edict, asking why he had never come.
Tso-Tchung Tong responded by telling
the whole story, adding that, having
spent all his own and his family's mon
ey on the support of soldiers during the
war, he had no means with which to
pay such bride. He appealed to the
emperor graoiously to relieve him of the
imposition. In reply the emperor said:
This 1.-THE feeling of the gatekeeperl is
a general and ancient usage, and the
viceroy and generalissimo must submit
to it like another. And as so-Tchung-
Tong really had not the money, his
friends raised a subscription, the dow
ager empress herself contributing half
the required sum. -Fortnightly Review.

Safety Elevators.

An improved system has been adopt.
ed in respect to the new elevators for
the library of congress. They are built
with special view to safety, and in
addition to a safety catch are provided
with what is termed the air cushion
the latter not q real cushion, inasmuch
as it is not soft, nor is it made and put
in position, being formed only when the
elevator is dropped to the bottom of the
shaft, and thus all wear and tear on the
cushion is avoided. The principle is
very simple. At the bottom of the
shaft is we'll about 10 feet in depth,
the sides Of which are so arranged as to
come at the top within the sixteenth of
an inch of the side of the elevator, this
space gradually growing larger until
there is distance of an inch and half
between the elevator and the shaft.
When the elevator is dropped from the
roof, it pushes before it a quantity of
air, and, dropping into the well, the
air is compressed and. escaping very
slowly, allows the elevator TO settle east
