carried the boys away, and the I'M
spoken cry here as well as In every
OF her part of the country was, What
of the future?" Many of the soldiers
are now asking this as they are about
TO be mustered out. In 1865. q mil
lion men returned from war to the
ways Of peace. Recently, an officer
addressing his troops In an eastern
camp said "You will be heroes for
about four days when you get home.
and then you will be judged by your
character as men," This is true here.
Have your ideas been elevated by
your camp life? Much has been heard
of the downward tendency of camps.
but we can see in the faces of many
here that this is not true. You will
be better men and citizens for having
worn the blue in camp. We read that
peace has it's victories no less than
war. You have learned lessons in
camp which you can work out in the
future
The business men of our city, said
Mr.. Palmer, should meet these boys
with open hands and hearts, and give
them whatever employment they can.
Many are still young enough to go to
school. We have learned that some
of our corporations are not soulless.
Some Of them have held open the
places left by the volunteers, to be re-
stored to them at the end Of the war.
The boys deserve well, and it is good
that there is feeling In the COM
munity to give them the best we
have. The speaker said that he hoped
that the business men would give
them practical help to show that
their efforts are appreciated.

sToPPlNa a RAILWAY TRAIN.

-
A French Invention for Doing 1t
Quickly.
Some time ago the French State rail-
way gave a public trial to a new inven-
ton designed TO effect automst ically
the stoppage of trains, with a view to
prevent collisions, Embarrassing acct
dents, etc.
The experiments took place under the
direction of N. Kaffas, the inventor, at
Beaulieu lie Ceudroy. near Charities, be-
fore many railway engineers and a
numerous gathering Of scientists.
Those present were convinced, so stated
the published reports, that the appa-
ratus fully satisfied all claimed forit.
The point chosen for the official ex-
pertinent offered the greatest possible
danger and difficulties. It was on a
single track line. between Charities and
Orleans, at the point of divergence of
the branch running to Asnieres, and
Immediately over a grade crossing.
There, at a distance of $50 yards from
the station, the mechanism was placed
il position. The invention consists Of
IN immense hook or catch made of
bent iron to which, while rigidly fas-
tened to the rails, a current of electrici-
ty is supplied by q wire and lever from
the station. While lying fat, trains
pass over 1t readily, but when raised,
it catches a lever banging from the
passing locomotive, the lever then auto
mstically causing IN air valve on the
engine to open and the brakes to be i'm
mediately applied. At the trial of the
device the train came to a standstill
before reaching the station.-N. Y.

fasts as he does on his early rising. On
such days he abjures all meat aud on.
tents himself with fish-a dish that,
like mutton, is a rarity in Vienna-and
various kinds of omelettes. His
majesty takes his fish preferably
with buttered potatoes. His cuisine
is peculiarly Viennese. and it is only at
court and state dinners that the French
menu. has any chance. The Vienna
kitchen is closely allied to the Ger
man in the simplicity and want of va
riety in the dishes, and by the "done-to-
death" character Of the meats, but is
decidedly more tasty and inventive,
"Kaiserschmarrn" and the dumping
like "Knodel" having a worldwide ce-
lebrity. His majesty. like his subjects,
prefers large helpings ut the sacrifice
of variety. and has a particular weak
ness for n dainty sort called frank

speciality.
In summer the so-cailed second
breakfast Is omitted, and the emperor
contents himself with the five o'clock
breakfast, consisting of a cup Of coffee
and a little "ka,te Auflage" (sliced cold
sausage, ham, etc.) His majesty sticks
to his desk for the next seven hours
with scarcely an interruption. At loon
comes the luncheon, or "Gabel-fruh-
stuck" consisting of a soup and a slice
of roast. At half-past two is a dinner
of six courses, comprising soup, fish,
two roasts. pudding and dessert. His
majesty likes beer, but partakesof both
beer and wine very sparingiy, although
the wine Is changed for each cover.
Liquors are also served. The emperor
drinks preferably dark Bavarian beer;
half a pint Is his quantum. When he
has risen from the table Kaiser Franz
Joseph has finished his eating for the
day and touches nothing more, even
when in the evening he attends a thea
ter. He is In bed by nine O'Clock, and
to his regular, moderate life he owes

An EconomIcnl Empre...

The empress of China was to have
celebrated her sixtieth birthday with
great pomp and lavish expenditure Of
money in November. 1894. In conse-
quence OF the war with japan she issued
a proclamation that the festivities had
been given uP, because they would
seem ~ungracious in view OF the suffer
ing caused by The war. This proclama-
ton did much to endear her TO the
hearts OF her subjects. This year the
emperor decided to have the deferred
festivities on November 8. and about
100000 was put aside for the purpose;
but again the empress CAV her veto,
on the ground hat a better use might
be made Of that sum.-Chicago Inter
Ocean,
