Safety Elevator.

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 safety catch are provided
with what is termed the air cushion
tho latter not real cushion, inasmuch
as 1t 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 il
very simple. At the bottom of the
shaft is we'll about 13 feet In depth,
the sides Of which arc 90 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 tbs
roof, 1t pushes before it quantity. Of
air, and, dropping into the we'll, tho
air Is compressed and. escaping very
slowly, allows the elevator to settle east

OF course the city is not charitable
organization, but when 1t is known that
there are people living here out of work,
who are in actual need, 1t Is better to pro-
vide employment for them than to culti-
vate amongst them spirit OF mendicancy.
When people are obliged to seek or accept
aims the manhood within them is altered
and deprecated, and We do not want that
kind of citizenship here. Pawtucket peo-
pie have always been high-spirited and
ready to work. 1t is bad thing to prac-
tice false economy which costs SO much
in genuine manhood.

HA WAH AND CUBA.

1t would strike the average common
better for us to annex Cuba at our doors
than Hawaii at the Antipodes. But there
Is no accounting for tastes. Why in the
name OF common sense 1t is not Cuba in
stead of Hawaii we cannot understand.
Here is Cuba, less than 100 miles away
from our coast, its people very well ac-
quainted with us and our customs, a
natural position for our defence against
Europe, and yet very few of the papers
which cry flor the annexation OF Hawaii
have a word for Cuba.
There is something strange about 1t.

"It is curious fact, easily verified,
that domesticated aquatic fowls do not
drink while they are swimming" ro-
marked M. A. Fulton Of Arkansas
"An old farmer friend of mine down
in Arkansas called my attention to this
short time ago, and have since been
closely observing the habits Of ducks,
geese and swans in this regard to sec if
there was any variation from tho rule
laid down by my friend. I have thus
far failed to find the least exception.
1.-TWO weeks ago watched fock 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 firma, 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 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. / cannot account for it in any
other way. st. Louis Republic

Mr.. johnson has warned the girls
several times against an old alligator
who lives in the bayou, but as the sau.

weeks the children became careless.
Recently the father heard shrieks from

with his daughters aboard proceeding
rapidly toward the river. Close scruti-

the boat and the line leading from his

johnson began firing at the reptile.
and neighbors, hearing the shots, came
out and joined in the fusillade.
johnson jumped into sailboat and
started in pursuit, but the alligator
proved to be speedy, and as the wind
was not very high he easily kept ahead
Of the sailboat. He circled around the
bayou, which is several miles wide,
avoiding the banks where the men were
standing.
For half an hour the chase continued
until johnson got near enough to place
a bullet between the alligator's eyes. -

CHINESE sQuEEzEs.Y
Onicial Promotions Go Hand In Hand
with Enormous Dribos.

WIN EnoTmoue nliDoes
Prior TO each promotion the Official
has to be received in audience by the
emperor. But this is very costly af-
fair, for no ones presence in tho CAP
ital city is recognized until no has
bribed tho gatekeeper to register his
name as having passed irto the city
and duly report his advent. That Ii
Hung Chang had to pay an enormous
sum In tips and bribes-over c1, 900, 900
--on his last visit to Peking is q
matter of common knowledge, but tho
narration of two instances that have
come directly under my notice may per-
haps servo to make the English reader
realize even more vividly how inexora-
BILE and how shamelessly open is the
systematic corruption.
The governor Of Kiang-su 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
he called upon his royal friend. Prince
Kung exclaimed: when did you come?
I cannot possibly recognize your pres
ence, for have not seen your name in
tho chung-w report" and he
had to return and pay double the usual
bribe to the gatekeeper before Prince
Kung would Mceive him. Even moro
remarkable is the case of Tso- -Tchung-
Tong, one of the greatest of our gener-
ais, who, having suppressed the Moham-
medan rebellion in Turkestan, had ac
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 special
summons calling him to an audience at
Peking.
When on his coming to the city tho
chung-wen-me or gatekeeper,. de-
manded so, COO tael, he refused to pay
anything. L even he was not officially
reported, ard after he had remained
several months in Pekin, waiting for Gu
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 srch bribe. He. appealed to the
emperor graciously to relieve him Of the
Iy reply the emperor said:
"This 1.-THE feeling Of the gatekeeperl is
a general and ancient usage, and the
viceroy ana generalissimo must submit
to it like another" And as TsO- -Tchung-
Tong really had not the money, his
friends raised q subscription, the. dow.
ager empress herself contributing half
the required sum. -Fortnightly Review.
