monarch with difficulty.
Augustus H., elector of Saxony, was
a man Of immense strength. He once
seized monk who had concealed him
self in the royal sleeping apartment
by the waist and flung him out of the
window into the court yard beneath.
Maurice, count of Saxony, a natural
son of the above elector, was as noted
as his father for his feats of strength
1t needs no small amount of strength
in the fingers to enable one to twist a
long, thick nail into a spiral. This
Maurice did and afterward used it as
a corkscrew to open bottles of wine
at luncheon. AT another time, while
stopping at farriers to have his
horses attended to, he broke half a
dozen of the mans horseshoes by the
strength Of his hands like as many bis
cults. That Maurice was equally strong
in other parts of his body is shown
by the following:
While travelling on foot in London
he had an alteration with dustman.
The dispute developed into a quarrel,
which the count terminated by seizing
his adversary by the head and throw

or OF Brazil, that while sailing in a
small boat he suddenly seized hold of

them out of the boat, one on each side,
and ducked them in the sea-, This was
not done out Of malice, but because 1t

Scanderberg, king of Albania, was a
giant in strength. From an early age
he was in the habit of competing in
feats Of strength and skill with the

victorious. He once in fit of rage
cut in two with one stroke of his sword
two enemies who were brought to him
bound together The same powerful
sword arm could cut in twain man in

Merit WINS.


The invention of Alabastine marked a
new era in wall coatings, and from the
standpoint of the building owner was a
most important i,covery. 1t has from
small beginning branched out into every
country of the civilized world. The name
"kalsomlne" has become so offensive to
property owners that manu- acturers OF
cheap kalsomlne preparations are now
calling them by some other name, and at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine compa-
nys reputation.
Through extensive advertising and per-
sonal use, the merits of the durable Ala
bastine are so thoroughly known that the
people insist on getting these goods and
will take no chance of spelling their walls
for possible saving of at the most but
few cents. Thus it is again demonstrated
that merit wins, and that manufacturers
of tirst-cass articles will be supported by
the people.

Miss Jane Barlow.

Miss Jane Barlow, the well known
writer of Irish stories and sketches, is
the daughter of a professor of Trinity
college, Dublin. She lives with her
father in the village of Rathgar, few
miles from the Irish capital. So far
from living in the midst of the country
and people with which she deals most
in her novels, Miss Barlow has only
once stayed in any other part of Ire
land. She has travelled much on the
continent with DR.. Barlow during the
university vacation, and the articles
describing these travels gave her her
first introduction to magazine edito-s.

METEORA QUITE HISTORIC.
The Queen OF Austria VIII Seek Seclu
sion In Midair.

SiOh III
The empress of Austria, with a corps
of scientists, will soon visit the homes
of the monks in northwest Thessaly,
Greece. She will be doubled up on a
net of stout rope and hoisted with five
centuries old windlass to the top of the
rocky tower, thousand feet high.
There is no OTTER way of reaching the
place. The old-time hosting apparatus,
which has been in use for nearly 500
years, is simplicity itself, being con-
structed of heavy beams. The cylin-
der, as we'll as the lever, is made of
wood, and the rope is likewise a home
product of the monks. The traveller,
after sitting in the net is made fast
by sticks and boards. The pulling up
process lasts five or ten minutes.
When the car nears the summit, one
of the monks grasps the rope with the
crutch of his crozier and pulls it on
to the landing place. Meteora, the
name by which the settlement is known
in history, means, literally translated,
floating in the air." The principal
cloister is tremendous structure, built
after the manner Of place of defense,
with bastions, towers, and mighty
gates. The chapel is situated in the
center of the courtyard, which has pill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The Senate
in executive session yesterday con-
firmed the nomination of David r..
Francis of Missouri for secretary of the
interior. No opposition to confrr.a-
tion was made and no vote was taken.
Senator Vest stated that he could add
nothing to what he had already said,
and that ha had no object in further
delaying action upon the nomination.
He added tat he had not made obiec-
ton to confirmation in the beginning
on any personal ground. or because he
entertained any but the lhindest per-
sonai feeling toward Mr.. Francis, but
that he had taken his position in op-
position to confirmation simply as a
matter of duty to the Democratic
party, which Mr.. Francis, while pro-
iessing to be mem Der of that party,
had opposed in the late election.

REGARDING PASSENGER RATES
Decision OF the Illinois Railroad and
warehouse Commissioners.

Warehouse Commissioners.
In the matter OF the communication
Of the secretary of the state grange or
Illinois dated Jan. l. 1897. embodying
resolution of that body adopted at It's
December meeting. 1896, asking the
board of railroad and warehouse COM
missioners to reduce the passenger
rate from three (3) cents to two t2l
cents per mile, the commission is Oh
the opinion that to do so at TINS time
would be unwise and unwarranted anu
would be unjust to the railroad inter
est of the state. While some or the
great trunk lines in Illinois might De
able to stand such reduction, yet tne
smaller roads, and those when 90
almost wholly a local business, anu
which are now and have been Tor the
last two years struggling for exlst-
ence, would be most seriously aiiecteu
by it,
Such action on our part would SIM
ply increase the heavy burdens under
which they are staggering now III 10
well-known fact to those VINO nave
taken the trouble to investigate tne
amount of passenger business done py
the railroads in Illinois during the past
two years that there has been large
decrease in the number OF passengers
carried This is due in our Judgment
not to the amount charged for such
service but to the general depression
in all lines OF business, the low prices
Of farm products and the unsettled
financial conditions which have had
their effect on the passenger as wen
as the freight business.
And it is also q fact. as shown by the
sworn reports of the railroads OF llll-
nois that the capital invested in such
property has not paid even a fair IN
terest to the stakeholder. This ques-
tion WAS before us when we revised
the freight schedule in 1895, and the
whole question was thoroughly con-
sidercd We did not think then ana
neither do we feel now that in justice
to both the public and the railroads,
because each should stand on the same
equality before the law, this reduction
should be made at this time. IL the
country was prosperous our conclu-
sions might be different
The statistics in our office show that
for the past three years, 1894, 1895 and
1896, the average amount charged by
the railroads per passenger mile Is q
fraction above two cents, although the
maximum allowed them was three
cents.
For the reasons above stated We do
not feel that this reduction should be
made at this time. We are also asked
to recommend this reduction to the
legislature. In view of our conclusion
we do not feel that it would be con-
sistent for us to do so; however, the
legislature has the power to regulate
the maximum rate which can be
charged for passenger service and we
leave the matter to their wisdom.
