finish his answer before you break in"
said Juror Snow, leaning forward and
looking directly at Mr.. Harmon.
The remark was made in loud and
aggressive voice. II he tone m ore than the
words arrested attention. Mr. Harmon

him.

Claus. Likewise to the aforesaid small boy come already visions of hills most inyitingly covered with snowy mantle, and of lakes and ponds glittering with smooth, glassy ice. Soon, too, the bells will ring out the old year and ring in tho new. And what Q year this has already been in the history of this nation! It has witnessed two of the most brilliant naval victories in the history of the world,-victories that have added fresh lustre to the Amerl- can name. It has witnessed more brave deeds by our soldiers, more grand pa triotism by our people. The national domain has been extended to include important islands of the sea. Our coun- try's flag now waves over far distant portions of the globe that are soon to become American territory and pay tribute to our Uncle Sam. And some of the changes of such vast moment to the nation have been so surprising and unexpected. Dewey's world famous victory at Manila came like an illumin- ating lightning flash. Who in America thought for moment that the war un- dertaken in Cuba's behalf would re- suit in placing this nation in the position of sponsor, not only for Cuba, but for the multitudinous Philippine Is- lands? The remaining days of 1898 can hardly bring to the nation any new event of great moment outside of the final adjustment of the peace problem and possible brush with the Malays. There are big problems on hand for the nation that will require the exercise of the utmost wisdom, There is yet need of lofty patriotism and wise statesman ship. The nation has accomplished great things, vast results, has awaken ed the attention of the globe more than ever before, and after settling with Spain has one more foreign question to settle in the near future. That is one which interests the unspeakable Turk. Perhaps that question of indemnity for outrages upon our American missiona- Ties may not be settled until the thun- der of Dewey's guns is heard on the Bosphorus and at the gates of the Sul tan.

NOT THE SAME.

In his official report Surgeon Genera, :, Sternberg doesn't talk quite as he did in the unofficial reports he made when the talk about his medical department began. He now says that the camps were not suited for the large numbers of men crowded into them. He says further that as early as April 18th. 'foreseeing the likelihood of unsani- tary conditions in the camps" he call ed the attention of medical officers to their responsibility in sanitary matters, but that practically nothing was done to establish proper conditions until the Secretary of War was informed of the true state of affairs by inspectors sent out by the War department, when the old camps were abandoned and new ones prepared. Then for the first time," he says, "the troops went into camps suitable for continued occupa- tion''
 We may never get the whole truth about the mismanagemento of the war, but it is refreshing and encouraging to get even as much of it as Surgeon-Gen- eral Sternberg now makes public.

AN INTER Es11NG DrsruRBAycE.

That is very interesting religious question which has arisen in Wool bury, New Jersey According to the story, the colored Baptists of the place, having no baptismal font available in their own church, obtained the consent Of the pastor and trustees of a white Baptist church to immerse their con verts in the baptistry of the latter. Some of the lady members Of the white church. however, came to the conclu- sion that the font became in some mys- terious way desecrated and profaned by the immersion of Afro-American ,jc- lievers and they persuaded the trustees to rescind the permission that had been granted. The pastor resented this ac- tion and threatens to resign.
 Perhaps the white lady Tsaptists no are kicking up this bobbery haven't stopped to ask themselves on whif h side Of the question they have raised the Lord whom they profess to serve would be likely to be found. And per- haps they don't care

Plain as the tailor rig may be of outline and finish, daintily fluffy neck finish is permissible for it, and some of the mcst characteristi- oally feminine throat elahorati ns accompany trimmed tailor suits She Of the untrimmed suit may follow this lead, if she wishes to, though natural ly her tastes are usually opposed to such affairs.
 Golf waistccats are at best, unbecom- ing because they are inclined to baggi- ness that Is not picturesque But they are the right things for the golf field, and just now and until snow flies the golf field is the most attractive place in the world to lot of young women. Scarlet is the color. At the cheaper stores golf va stcoats for women are shown in modified form; that is, they have some pretence of fit But if you are going to wear the garment, it is much better to let it seem a good deal like the mems. Let it be loose and straight, only be sure the sleeves are not too long. Golf mittens to match the waistcoat are being worn by many of the younger players when the days are chilly for all the brilliant sun.

A concession for railroad from Tananarivo to Tamatave has been granted the Colonial company of Mad- agascar. The company must have a capital of s2, 1925, ,00o; it's officers must be Frenchmen or French subjects; with the exception of coal, wood and petro- leum, all material, rolling stocks, etc., must come from France or it's colonies; the concession must be finally agreed to before January 15, 1899, and lasts for ninety-nine years. This is the largest and most important enterprise ever undertaken in Madagascar. The com pany will be exempt from all rent or tax for fifteen years. Telegraph lines are to be constructed along the route. One hundred and fifteen thousand eight hundred dollars is to be deposited as guaranty of the proper accomplishment of the work, one-third of this amount to be returned when the work is half done and another third when the rail- road in opened.

For some months past there has been in successful operation on section of twenty-five miles of one of the Eng llsh trunk lines an electrical device by which all signals are reproduced In the cab of the engine, so that the engineers of express trains cannot miss or mis- take them, even in the thickest wealth CT. The arrangement is described as be- ing exceedingly simple. It consists of a contact bar fixed to the rails in a rock ing shaft, and connected by lever and wire with the ordinary signalling ap- paratus, so that when the danger sig nal is set in the box, the contact bar is raised in position to strike a lever fixed on the locomotive. This makes com plete electric current, sets an alarm ringing on the engine, and works an in- dicator. An ingenious form of double vo.ute spring holds the engine contact bar vertical, while allowing it to as- sume horizontal position in either d. rection. After receiving the blow from the contact bar on the rail, it performs a few oscillations, and resumes it's yer tical position in readiness for the next contact. The contact bars, both on the engine and the rails, have two ends, one for danger and one for safety. The safety lever has its own independent electric circuit, and it moves an indi- cator on the engine. The danger bell continues to ring until reset by sim pie apparatus, which also acts as bell tester. The safety bell rings for a couple of seconds, and shows the words Safe on the bell. The bell ceases to ring, in this case, as the lever ceases to oscllate, and the word Safe" disap- pears.

The use of the diamond saw for cut ting stone is facilitating the erection of the buildings for the Exposition of 1900 at Paris. This new circular saw Is due to Felix Fromho1t, Parisian engineer. The diamonds which form the cutting teeth of the saw are common crystals, worth about 10 shillings a carat, and they are fixed in steel disk over six feet in diameter, which is mounted on a spindle and revolved by steam power like an ordinary circular saw For saving hard stones there are 200 dia- monds in the cutting edge, and the speed is 300 turns a minute. It advan- ces into the stone about foot in that time. For soft stones the teeth are of steel, with diamonds at intervals of every five teeth, and at a speed of twelve turns a minute, the saw ad- vances about a yard in that time.

The absurdity of child marriage among the Hlndoos is strikingly illus trated in a story told in the Indian Spectator. of Bombay. which states that a wedding recently took place there between a widower of forty and girl of nine years. The startling disparity in age was aggravated by other incon- veniences. The bridegroom had a daughter of about eighteen, engaged as a teacher at school of which her father is honorary trustee. His girl wife of nine is a pupil at the school un- der her stepdaughter of eighteen. The first thing the former did was to remonstrate with her teacher how she, the mother, could possibly sit at school on bench while the daughter taught her from chair.
