PcopIe of Stone Age.

''The stone age" is not, properly
speaking, an expression Of time 1t re-
fers to a stage in civilization which
passed long ago in Europe and Asia,
but still fingers in some out of the way
corners Of the world. A report ef La
Plata museum in Paraguay describes
the Quayoquis, a small t.Ibe of 500 or
600 living near the headwaters of the
Acsray river. as a true stone age people.
They are timid, harmless folks, desper-
ately afraid Of the whites, ard with
reason, as they have been shamefully
abused by them. They have no weapons
for defense save bows, lances and stone
tomahawks. They are undersized and
round headed.

TENNYSON'S FAITH.
The Problem Of the Future Life Had
<hs dominant Interest.

The problem CT the Future Lie Had
>hs dominant Interest.
A reader of the Life Of Tennyson,
by his son, will be struck by tue fact
that no subject interested him so deep
ly as the problem of the future life. He
will also observe that it was always a
problem to him, one that he was con-
stantly raising. that would net stay set
tied. To be SUITE, be was believer in
Immortality, but not a restful believer.
He was all tie time digging mp the
roots Of Lis faith to be sure they were
alive. The old question would not stay
Unanswered. TIE reader Cf his poetry
observes the same thing. He is always
! Oh the side of faith, but of somewhat
disturbed faith. He belonged to thar
''meta physical society which invited
into its membership believers of all
shades, with all shades Of unbelievers,
whose object was to raise and answer
doubts about GCd and the future life.
He was the spokesman of the scientific
doubt of the age fluttering over the
dovecots of faith, but hardly settling
and resting and nesting therein.
One observes the contrast with this
f1uttering faith who reads the poems of
Milton, with their abiding faith in the
future life. This is the spiritual con-
trast between "In Memoriam" and
"Lycidas. In Millions requiem, even
under its paganized form, there is ro-
bust and jubilant faith in God and
eternal life No question enters. The
mind and heart are satisfied. The dear
friend is beyond all doubt among the
saints and cheirs above. One regrets
that Tennyson' mental structure per-
haps could find positiveness and rest on
questions of politics or poetry, but
must perennially dubitate-to be sure,
with the hopeful balance Of probability
over questions of faith. 81 believe

HARNESS RElNS.
Made From the StOutest of Leather.
A Word About Hand Holds.

The reins of set of single harness
are each about Is feet in length. those
of double harness about 10 feet. For
business harness reins are made Of
leather tanned black; the reins of car
riage harness are made of russell color6d
leather.
Reins require to be very stout, and
they are almost always made Of steer
hide, the leather Of which traces are
made, these, however, being of more
than one thickness. Occasionally lines
for light o. for cheap harness are made
of cowhide, but not often. AS rule the
best of leather is used for the reins,
even in cheap harness. There can be OBJ
tanned from the hides of leather suitable
for reins strips from seven to nine feet
in length, so that reins are always Of
necessity made in two pieces.
The loops, or hand holds, often seen
on the reins Of track or road horses are
commonly made of lighter leather
stitched together and then sometimes
stitched TO the reins, but more often Sc
cured to them in such manner that
they can be shifted on the reins to suit
the convenience of the driver. The
three loop hold, which is called the
Boston hand hold, is commonly used fer
track driving. The single loop is tho
one used by most drivers on the road.
There are patent hand holds made Of
metal The wooden buttons sometimes
seen on rGins, used as hand holds, are
made in pairs, one button of each pair
having a stem, with a thread cut on it,
which goes through the rein and is
screwed into the other button of the
pair on the opposite side.

Sowing Pansy Seed.

During early October is good time
for sowing pansy seed for next spring. s
supply Of plants for bedding out. The
reason for fall sowing out of doors is
that the plants are not then subjected
to the hot, drying influences Of the
house, which are so likely to bring on
red spider and other troubles.
Prepare bed of very rich, porous
loam on a we'll drained location. Place
over it frame to be filled with forest
leaves as protection to the little plants
over wiEter. After sowing the seed in
the bed sift very light covering of soil
over the seed, merely enough to hide
them. During the process Of germina-
tion never allow the bed to dry out, as
moisture is essential to perfect germina-
tion Of any seed.
AS severe weather approaches cover
the bed with few inches of litter of
some sort, forest leaves being preferable.
At the propes time in the spring the
seedlings may be pricked oF of the soil
in the seedbed and transferred to the
bed In which they are to bloom

Below Decks During n Fight.

The position Of the men below decks
on a modern vessel of war, they being
isolated by the watertight matches and
doors, has been frequently commented
upon, but their position is not always
so hard as has been supposed. On the
Brooklyn. during the fight before San
tiago, Admiral Schley sent orderlies
among the men behind classmates and
below decks telling them the effects Of
the shots and how the fight was going.
When the chase of the Colon began. the
and engine room and told the men
there that the race had begun and ev-
erything depended upon them. The wis
dom of the action was partly shown in
the outcome.

"A SAD NIGHT"
How Carlyle and Leigh Hunt Diff
fered Even About the Sky.

How Carlyle and Leigh Hunt Diff
fered Even About the Sky.
Leigh Hunt and Carlyle were once
present at a small party of equally well
known men. 1t happened that the con-
veIsation rested with these two, and the
others sat, well pleased to listen. Leigh
Hunt talked on in his bright and hope
full way, when Carlyle would drop some
heavy tree trunk across his pleasant
stream and bank it up with philQsophic
al doubts and objections at every inter
val, but Hunt never ceased his joyous
anticipations nor saturnine Carlyle his
infinite demuIs. The listeners laughed
and applauded by turns, and now fairly
pitted them against each other as the
philosophers Of hopefulness and Unhope-
fulness. The contest continued with
ready wit, philosophy, pleasantly and
profundity and extensive knowledge OF
books and character.
The opponents were so we'll matched
that it was quite clear that the contest
would last indefinitely, b1t night was
far advanced, and the party now broke
up. They all sailed forth. and. leaving
the close room, the candles and the ar
guments behind them, found themselves
under most brilliant and starlight sky.
They looked up Carlyle can have no
answer to this, thought Hunt, and
shouted: "TheIel Look at that glorious
harmony that sings with infinite voices
an eternal song of hope in the soul of
man.
Carlyle looked up. They all remained
silent to hear what he would say. They
began to think he was silenced at last,
bat out of the silence came few low
toned words in broad Scotch accent:
''Eh, it sad night"
They all laughed and then looked
thoughtful. There might be some reason
for sadness, too-that brilliant frma-
ment perhaps contained infinite worlds,
each full of struggling and suffering
beings

THEY MUST BE STAMPED.
Those Who Enter the Civil Service
Examinations Must Put Stamp
On Their Applications-A
Recent Decision

Hereafter all persons who file appli-
cations for entrance to examinations
for the postal customs and internal
revenue service must attach ten-cent
stamp to their applications. Orders to
this effect were recently received by
Louis Schautz, at the post office.
Mr.. SchautZ is secretary of the exam
ing board here and the orders were in
closed with directions sent from Pres
idcnt John II. Proctor, of the United
states Civil Service Commissioners,
Washington, ID. c.
This circular, No. 1864. pertains to
the examinations which are scheduled
TO occur between October and 5 next.
the several secretaries have also in
structed all persons who have already
filed any such application since July
/, 1898. the day the war revenue meas
ure went into effect, that they must
also afIix the stamp to their applica-
tiOns.
In the cases of male applicants the
stamp is affixed to the county officers
or medical certificate form filed with
their applications. In the case of fe-
male applicants where no county or
medical certificate is required, the
stamp is affixed directly to the appli-
cation form. In each instance the APP
plicant must cancel the stamp by writ
ing or stamping his or her initials and
the date upon the face.
The text of the ruling concerning this
stamping follows:
Your attention is called to the fact
that the commission has ordered, in
pursuance of the ruling of the treas
ury department, under date of August
20, 1898, that in the case of any appi-
cation with which the commission re-
quires what is known as the county
officers certificate or the medical certi-
ficate, there shall be affixed to each
such certificate ten-cent revenue
stamp. The county officers certificate

THREE MEN KILLED.
Two Run Down by a Train in Nay
Aug Tunnel and Another on
the Winton Branch Near
Nay Aug Yard.

Three Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western section hands lost their lives
yesterday by being run down by
trains. BY one accident which oc-
CURED in Nay Aug tunnel. Mike Mata
and Mike Sopko were instantly killed
and their bodies frightfully mangled.
The third unfortunate, George Regan,
met his death on the Winton branch
near Nay Aug yard.
Mata and Sopko were members of
Foreman John McLaughl MS gang,
hich was engaged in replacing the
ties in the tunnel About o'clock p.
n. they were working on the outbound
track about quarter way in the tun-
nei, measuring ftom the Scranton side.
A train from the yard was entering
at the western opening as q summit
train, inbound, entered from the other
end.
II is supposed Mata and Sopko, like
many an unfortunate before them,
stepped out of the way of one train di-
ICttly in front of tle other. The noise,
smoke and confuYion rGadc il impOs-
s'hle for their comrades tC see what
was transpiring.
All tnat is definitely known is that
it was the inbound train that struck
them. Mata was thrown under the
wheels, presumably across both rails,
as his head and both feet were COM
pletely severed. Sopkos fatal injury
was a fractured skull. This was prob
ably sustained through being hurled
against the rocky sides of the tunnel.
The bodies were taken into the city
on a train as far as Ridge Row and
We're there transferred to Undertaken
in charge of Undertaken John Majern-
yek, who is a cousin of Mata and a
close friend of Sopko.
Mata was AZ years of age and leaves
wife and three children in the old
country. Sopko was Sc and also is sur
vived by wife ana children in his
