No Time for Interest.

merchant prince of New York, that upon
entering his store one morning he sought

After the Funeral.

In a certain township not many miles
from Cleveland the good man of local
household was laid away in the little
churchyard on the hill, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. After the funeral the rela-
lives, both near and distant, returned to
the family home and the officiating pastor
came with them. There they enjoyed a
good dinner and afterward gathered in
the best room for social converse.
Naturally their talk turned upon the Sc
rious event of the day, and presently the
good pastor, drawing a deep sigh, solemn
ly remarked:
"Wen. our departed brother has gone a
long Journey"
There was a brief silence, and then a
cousin of the deceased, fussy little wo-
man with an intense desire to bear a
share in the conversation, suddenly re-
marked in a tone of profound wisdom:
well, you know, brother, tibet they all
say, that travel is such an eddicator!'

story of wiIkie Collins.

Here is one of Nugent Robinson's rem
iniscences of Wilkie Collins: Il was walk
ing one Gay toward Hamstead Heath with
Wilkie Collins. 1t was raining; Wilkie
carried his white umbrella. Presently We
sighted, near hedge. a very pretty wo-
man, dressed in white and accompanied by
a child. Wilkie stepped up to her and
proifered his umbrella. She promptly ac-
cepted it, and | said to him as she disap-
peared. That's the last you'll see of it,
He laughed and insisted that it would be
all right. He lived in Wampole street
and had given the young woman his adj
dress. Well, time went by, until one day
we two were again stroling, this time in
Piccadiliy. Suddenly a hanson was halt
ed alongside of us so quickly that the
horse was drawn back on his launches
and that same woman leaned out and
handed WillSie his umbrella. l discreet
ly walked on That was the original OF
The Woman in White and she became
Wilkes housekeeper."

Washington Post AT somebody's tea. NOT

The Free Seed Distribution.

A Southern Congressman received let
ter some time ago, which, being like hun.
dreds of other communications. did nat
attract attention. 1t read as follows:
Blankville, JAN 4, 1893
Dear Sir-Win you please send me a
parcel of COW peas from the government
distribution? Very truly yours,
James Lancaster
The package was duly sent. A week
later there came another letter. 1t made
the following request:
Blankville, JAN TO- 1898
Dear Sir-Please send me some COW
peas L only want one package
Mary Lancaster
The Congressman promptly complied
with the request, and thought no more
about it until five days later. when there
came still another letter. It was post
marked at the same country town and
was evidently from a member of the same
family as his two previous correspond
ents. The Congressman rather smiled, as
he read:
Blankville, Jan. To- 1898
Dear Sir-I should very much like to
nave one of the bags of COW peas which
you are sending free. I am your friend.
ana hope you will be reelected. Yours
truly, Samuel p Lancaster
Inc letters did not stop coming. Three
more arrived, one from the mother of the
Lancaster family, one from a daughter.
ana another one from son. The Con-
gresham thought that his constituents
intended TO plant a ten-acre lot with cow
peas. Nothing of the kind. Yesterday he
received letter which told of the use to
which the government seeds had been

1t is understood that Mr. w. j. Calhoun
of Illinois will be appointed to the vacan-
cy on the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion which has existed since the retire
ment of Col William r. Morrison. There
was a rumor some time ago to the effect
that the nomination would go to Judge
Paxton. Objections We're raised by some
representatives Of organized labor. on the
ground that he had made rulings adverse
to the interests of labor. The objections
seem to have had the desired effect Mr..

Capt. j, D. Poiudexter, u. S. A., feels
that he is. or is about to be, martyr to
science. He announced some time ago
that he had made most wonderful dis
covery; that salt is the root of all evil,
and that it should never find it's way into
the human system. He declares that salt
is a poison. An examining board has
been appointed to inquire into his mental
condition, with a view TO ascertaining the
desirability of retiring him.

response on the part of the people of Geor-

of the state. It's rehabilitation at an ear

people, the city and the state.

The New York Journal is not altogether
pleased with the prospect of having the
Spanish war ship Vizcaya in New York
harbor. 1t throws out the suggestion that
if the ship got inside our lines of de-
Tense and anchored in the North river
just before Spain found it convenient to
begin hostilities," she could come mighty
near knocking the city of New York to
pieces before anything could be done to
stop her. AS a preventive of such a cat
astrophe, the journal suggests that a
number of submarine toTpedoes be plac-
ed in the river, and that the Vizcaya be
assigned to an anchorage over a nest of
them, so that she could be blown out of
the water by the touch of button upon
a moments warming. That would be a
fine sort of hospitality!

government was short on powder for the

This will necessitate our saluting them at

The city and street railway authorities
have il in their power at this time TO con-
fer upon the people a favor which would
be gratefully appreciated. and which could
be better attended to now than hereafter
We refer to the improvement Of the cross
ings on many of the asphalted streets. On
Broughton and Liberty streets the space
between the rails is now paved with Bel
gian blocks. Some Of these tracks are
now being taken up. and others will short
ly be taken up, for the purpose of laying
heavier rails. Let the stone blocks be dis
pensed with. and the space between the
rails be paved with asphalt The differ
ence in cost would not "A a great deal, and
the improvement in the looks of the
streets, and the comfort in riding over
them, would be very great. The
Belgian blocks were laid between the rails
when mules were the motive power Of the
cars, in order to provide the mules foot
hold. There is now no necessity for such
paving. 1t is unsightly, rough, and, in
some places dangerous. Only day or
two ago a lady had a bad fall at the cor
ner of Bun and Broughton streets from
the fact that her bicycle struck the rail
at an angle Had the crossing been ar
ranged like those on OglethorDe avenue,
the wheel would not have struck the rail,
but would have rolled over it with scarcely
a vibration, Still, the crossing at Bull and
Broughton Is not nearly SO bad as those
at Whitaker and Broughton, and Liberty
and Barnard.
