CUT RAILROAD RATES.

1t is now practically settled that the
railway fare from New York to San
Francisco during the national conven-
ton OF the United Societies of the
Christian Endeavor, which meets in
the latter city in July of this year,
is TO be $75. The passenger agents have
been consulting for the past week, but
could come TO no definite conclusion
owing to the non-action of the west
ern passenger agents. 1t may be that
rate of $40 will be agreed on at an
other meeting during the coming
week. Whatever the rates agreed upon
tickets will give an option on all lines
including different ones going and re-
turning.
Secretary Baer has sent letters to all
trustees of the United Societies asking
for suggestions as to topics and names
OF speakers, and hopes to make this the
best programme ever arranged. The
reason for going to the Pacific coast
this year is to help Endeavor work
there. AT first it was thought that the
San Francisco meeting, owing to the
distance, might prove less largely at
tended than usual, but it is found that
many of the brightest men, some of
whom have stayed away from recent
conventions because of the great
crowds attending them, are planning
to go to San Francisco. where their
presence and eloquence are sure to be
felt

An Important Omission.

AT prayer meeting recently held in
one of the churches not a thousand
miles from Utica there was manifested
n desire on the part of some of the par
Elephants to praise themselves. One
man, says the Utica Observer, even went
oack to the days of his boyhood to
show how good he had been even at
that time. He said that one day. while
walking along q country road, he sud-
denly discovered in one of his pockets
u dollar belonging to his employer,
which he had neglected to turn over to
the latter. With crushing force the
thought came to him that his employer
would miss the dollar and believe him,
to be dishonest. Overcome by that
thought, he, sat down by the roadside
and wept. There the story ended.
Those who heard the pathetic nara
tive were deeply moved, and one Of the
women present subsequently told her
young son about it, probably with the
intention to produce good effect upon
the youthful mind. But the youthful
mind didn't seem to be impressed. The
thoughtful boy remained silent for u
few moments, and then he burst out
with: "Say, ma, did the man tell
whether he ever gave the dollar bnck?"

Japanese journalism, says II mission
ary's wife, is u singular profession in
many Of its features. There is prac-
tically no such thing as freedom of the
press in Japan. Whenever a newspaper
publishes something unfriendly to the
government it is suppressed, and the
editor is sent to prison. The real editor
is never imprisoned, though. Every
newspaper has what the Japanese call
Il dummy editor" and his sole duty
is to 20 to Jail every time the paper is
suppressed for offending the mikado.
Then the real editor changes the name
of the paper. and keeps on publishing it.
Dummy editors spend most of their
time in prison. -.

THE HORSE IN HISTORY.

Few animals possess the sense of smell
in a greater degree than the horse.
In the southern districts of China
horseshoes are made of cane or bamboo.
Historians believe that the horse was
first domesticated either in central Asia
or northern Africa,
Horseshoeing with iron was unknown
in England until introduced after the
Norman conquest in 1866.
The horse differs from all other quad
rupeds in apparently having but one
toe, though he really has two, the other
being disguised in the hoof.
A Welsh law Of the middle ages for
babe the horse to he used in plowing,
this agricultural occupation being per-
formed by the aid of donkeys and oxen.
The famous Darley Arabian was
brought to England in the reign of
Queen Anne. From this and two or
three other noted Arabians are descend
ed most of the race horses of Great
Britain.
Pegasus, the poetical charger, which
is now being overworked by several
thousand of our fellow citizens, male
and female, was, according to classic
mythology, the winged horse on which
Bellerophon rode against the Chimara
Horse racing was practiced as early as
the days when Troy was besieged by the
Greeks. In the plain before the city the
besiegers celebrated holidays by sports
and horse races, and Homer says the
walls of Troy were covered with sport
ing Trojans watching the result st.

ornaments. The suggestion of savagery is
too strong to seem quite in accord with
delicate, cultivated nineteenth century
woman. One is irresistibly reminded of
the African belle, with her jangling bits of
metal shaped by primitive instruments.
These ornaments which serve use-gir-
dies, brooches, buckles and combs-have a
valid excuse for being. Those which define
the customs of the body-necklaces, brace
lets, fllets and rings-are also not only par
donable, but desirable, but those which
are simply an excuse for spending money,
which have no relation to the human
form and no use in holding the clothing
together, do not seem to be in the best
TASTE for the best taste is like the best
manners in being the simplest and most

The Proposed Statue of Mrs. Stowe

The proposed statue is to be of light
copper bronze, of such dimensions as
may hereafter be decided, the founda-
tions to be about 80 feet square. In the
center of the granite foundation stone
is to be a subbase about 2 by 10 feet in
width and az feet high. Upon this
subbase is to be column of granite or
marble, surmounted by suitable orna-
mental cap, or top piece, this stone
work to constitute the foundation of the
structural work and to be of such
height and ornamental design as may
hereafter be approved by the committee.
The whole structure will be about %
feet high. Upon this stonework is to
rest the statue of bronze, seated fig
ure, representing Mrs. Stowe i'll costume
and appearance of about the year 1850,
holding in her right hand a pen and in
her left a manuscript Beneath, it is
proposed to have large figure repre-
senting Uncle Tom with hands appraised
toward Mrs. Stowe and on the hands
broken shackles. On each side of the
main pedestal will be set a large
bronze plate about 8 feet square. On
one of these plates will be figure of
Topsy and on the other Eva. Suitable
inscriptions will be put in proper places.
The work will cost about $22, 900,
and the state is asked to contribute $5,-
600, not SO much perhaps for the mon
ey as on account of the propriety of
such interest ON the part of the state in
commemorating the memory of Con-
nectlcut woman whose contribution to
the cause of freedom to the slaves is
more widely read and appreciated in all
countries than any other work ever writ
ten for the cause of liberty.

McGifin's Tragic End.
1t is not easy to see any clear traces
of insanity in the remarkable ''memo"
left behind him by Captain McGiffin.
The man doubtless regarded death from
standpoint quite different from that
of people who have not faced it so often
as he or approached it so closely. He
therefore contemplated suicide with en-
tire composure, and he probably saw
nothing uncourageous i'll making his
last words vehicle for expressing the
common courtesies of life and in tingeing
them with humor which, while slight
ly ironical, betrayed nc bitterness and
no discomfort with the result Of game
which he had decided it was not worth
while to play to the end. McGiffin was
not man of this age, but a survival of
the time when fighting was done for
the sheer love of excitement, with booty
and pay as pleasing incidents and
wounds and death as the unpleasant ones.
There is no other explanation of his en-
tering the Chinese service or of the
reckless courage he displayed in that
hopeless encounter off the Korean coast.
Tt is noticeable that he says eau re-
voir, = not "Goodby," though to draw
from this fact any differences as to his
beliefs would be somewhat rash. The
calmness of his mind, as well as its ma
ture, at once soldierly and considerate,
is sufficiently indicated by the first SEN
! tence in his note, Look alive, that the
bed is not set on fire by my shot. " Ex-
tremely human. too, is the satisfaction
he took in disappointing the expecta-
tions of his doctors. Moliere, of whom
in certain ways McGiffin was con-
temporary, would have thoroughly en-
| joyed the reference to ''a hegira not
| anticipated by the learned staff. -
