HI. First Cent.

H. A. Sylvester, of Rockport, Me-,
treasures the first cent ever given him,
and it has reposed in his pocket for
years. He went to sea for IA years and
never lost his cent. At one time he was
wrecked, and was taken from water
logged and dismantled vessel in so en-
hausted condition that his rescuers
had to remove his clothing, but he
had strength enough to beg them to
look out and not lose his cent. He car
ried it to California, where he was en-
gagged in mining for four years. and on
q trip through the wild country III
Idaho and Montana. Naturally it is
worn smooth, but he wouldn't exchange
it for gold eagle. Boston Globe.

THE PROTECTED BosToNIAN.

Regulations.

He Is Hemmed About by Municipal
Regulations.
An imaginary Bostonian, on rising in
breakfast, and breakfast service under
government supervision.
Nor do this average Bostonian n and his
family escape from public control upon
rising from the table. The children are
by law compelled to go to school; and
though there is an option to attend
q private school, the city gratuitously
furnishes school and school books.
AS for the father himself, when he
reaches his door, he finds that public
servants are gird,ing his treesmith bur-
laps, and searching his premises for
traces of the gypsy moth. Without
stopping to reflect that he has not been
asked to permit these public servants
to go upon his property he steps out
upon a sidewalk constructed I'M accord
ance with public requirements, crosses
q street paved and watered and swept
by the public, and enters street car
whose route, speed and fare are regu-
lated by the public. Reaching the cen
ter of the city, he ascendk to his office
by an elevator subject to pubic inspec-
ton, and reads the mail that has been
brought to him from all parts of the
United States by public servants. If
the dimness of his Office may cause
him to regret that sunlight appears to
Le outside public protection, he may
be answered that by recent provisions
the height of buildings sregulated and
malicious construction of high fences
is prohibited. Ifnow he leaves his Office
and goes to some store or factory in
which he owns an interest. he finds that
for female employees chairs must be pro-
vided, that children must not be eIn-
ployed in certain kinds Of work, that
dangerous machinery must be fenced,
that fire escapes must be furnished, and
probably that the goods produced or.
sod must be marked or packed in
certain way, or must reach certain
standard. Indeed, whatever this mans
business may be, it is almost certain
that in one way or another the public's
hand comes between him and his EN-
ploye. or between him and mis- customer.

Nerves Live After Death.

With an apparatus called the myo-
phone N. D'Arsonval has proved that
the nerves may. contrary to the old be-
lief. live many hours after the death
of the body. This cannot long be made
pereeptible through the eNcitability of
the muscles, but the sound in the irr
strument shows that a. nerve may act
on muscle, in state of electric ex-
citability, withoutproducing moro than
simple molecular vibration.--Philadel

THRIFTY ICELANDERS.
They Are Making Progress, But Need
the Telegraph.

I0Gy are mn k1nsS fEOST0SS, DUI NccO
the Telegraph.
Not only are the Icelanders steadily
increasing in material wealth, but they
seem to be making the best use of their
enlarged opportunities. AS there are
no great capitalists in Iceland, the gov
ernment is compelled to take the in
itiative in many enterprises that in
other countries might better be left to
private individuals. Thus a large ap-
preparation has been made this ses-
sion for subsidizing steamship COM
munication with Denmark and along
the coast. When these arrangements
are completed it will be possible for the
tourist to reach Iceland much more
readily than is the case now. A con-
ira 1t has been made with Danish com
pany by which 16 trips a year will be
made between Reykjavik and Copen-
hagen and six trips along the coast.
Even more important for the future
development of Iceland is the proposed
plan for telegraphic communication
with the Shetland islands over the Fa-
roe islands. A large appropriation for
this purpose was unanimously passed
by the a.thing. and the Danish govern
ment has signified its intention to give
the measure substantial aid. While no
final arrangements with either of the
companies that bid for the contract has
been made, there is no reason to doubt
that the plan will be successfully car
ried through. A natural extension Of
the idea would be North Atlantic cable
between America and Europe, with
Iceland as a stepping place. One di-
rect practical and scientific result of
tie present scheme would be to add inn
mensely to our meteorological re-
sources by furnishing daily weather re-
ports from Iceland.
OF immense Importance for the bealtt.
Of Iceland is the new arrangement Of
the state medical system. Thirty years
ago there were only seven official ply
sicians in the whole of Iceland. Under
the new arrangement the island Will be
divided into AZ medical districts, each
with regular physician. A salary
varying in amount in the different
classes is attached to the position in
addition to patients fees, which latter
are regulated by government ordi-
nance, and there is a pension. But
when one thinks of the enormous dis
tance to be Travelled on cold, dark win
ter days and nights, there seems to be
no occasion to envy these Icelandic
country doctors their salaries and pen
sions.-N. Y. Independent.

Sugar Trusts Dividend

Professional Wall Streets expectations
were fulfilled when the directors of the
sugar trust met and declared the regular
quarterly 8 per cent dividend on the COM
mon stock. Although for some time past
there has been more or less talk regarding
the probability of decrease in the rate,
hardly any one in the street has really be-
lieved that there would be cut
1t has been semiofficially stated that the
trusts earnings for the quarter show only
~ per cent for the common stock, because
OF the aggressive and expensive trade war
in which the sugar trust is now engaged.
Upon this and upon President Havemeyer's S
understood opposition to the payment Of
anything more than was earned have been
based the intimatons that the trust di-
rectors were likely to make smaller divi-
dend than heretofore. But at the meeting
yesterday, says the New York Times, it is
understood the question of the current
quarters earnings was ignored, and the fact
that the trust shows for the year beyond l2
per cent on the stock was considered good
reason for keeping up the u Fer cent rate.
Sugar Trust was generally expected to
boom on the announcement of the declara-
tion Of the regular dividend. 1t did notl

November Failures

After larger failures in October than in
any other month this year, November re-
ports smaller failures than in any other
month on record except August this year,
July of 1897, and September of 1894. In
midsummer small failures are usual but not
H. November, so that, considering the sea-
son, the months report is about the best
ever made. The aggregate of liabilities is
80 per cent smaller than in the same month
last year, SO per cent smaller than in 1896,
81 per cent smaller than in 1895, 26 per cent
smaller than in 1894, and SO per cent smaller
than in 1893.
The decrease strongly supports the infer
ence drawn from analysis of the October re-
port, namely, that the size of failures in
that month was due to causes affecting gen.
eral business very slightly, and that the SIT
uation was so good that the return would
have been one of the best on record but for
the concurrence of nineteen large failures,
iii the main not all due to existing condi-
tions. In November the large failures were
but twelve in number and $2,9O3,099 in
amount of liabilities, against seven last year
with $4,920,0 600, twenty-five in 1896 with
$4,264 ,842 twenty in 1898 with So, FOG, ,0S6
seventeen in 1894 with 81, ,9l2 .000, and thirty.
thred in 1893 with so, ,496, ,s3l liabilities. En-
Guiding the large failures, it will be seen
that the months return would have been
smaller than in November of any other year
by more than 20 per cent. 1t is not possible,
in view of these returns, to doubt that the
general conditions affecting commercial and
manufacturing defaults were more favorable
than in November in previous years. Ex-
ceptional or sporadic casesjare liable to oc-
cur in any month, and of these November
has to report but few. With fair freedom
from these, and low returns for the aggre-
gate Of other failures for the month, the
result is eminently satisfactory .--Dun's Re.
