been secured by individuals against

"A SAD NIGHT"

How Carlyle and Leigh Hunt Diff
fered Even About the Sky.
Leigh Hunt and Carlyle were once
present at a small party of equally we'll
known men. It happened that the con-
versation rested with these two, and the
others sat, we'll 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 philosophic.
al doubts and objections at every inter.
val, but Hunt never ceased his joyous
anticipations nor saturnine Carlyle his
infinite demu1s. 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
books and character.
The opponents were SO we'll matched
that it was quite clear that the contest
would last indefinitely, but 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: ''There! Look at that glorious
harmony that sings with infinite voices
an eternal song Of hope in the soul OF
manp
Carlyle looked up. They all remained
silent to hear what he would say. They
began to think he was silenced at last,
but out of the silence came few low
toned words in broad Scotch accent:
''Eh, it's sad nightl'
They all laughed and then looked
thoughtful. There might be some reason
for sadness, too-that brilliant firma.
ment perhaps contained infinite worlds,
each full Of struggling and suffering
beings.

People of Stone Are.

''The stone age" is not, properly
speaking, an expression of time. It 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, Of La
Plata museum in Paraguay describes
the Quayoquis, a small tribe Of 500 o.
600 living near the headwaters Of the
Acaray river, as true stone age people.
They are timid, harmless folks, desper'
ately afraid Of the whites, and with
reason, as they have been shamefully
abused by them. They have no weapons
for defense save bows, lances and stone
tomahawks. They are understood and
round headed.

Below Decks During a Fight.

The position Of the men below decks
on 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
orderlies went down to the stoke holes
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 acknowledgements.

cIiar Il ,tes that GA January 6, 1898, he
adopted The rule of requiring receipts
tor all money expended by servants Of
the state before drawing orders for pay

the rule has worked well. The ouly ex.
ception he made to the rule Was IN the
case Of railroad fares, receipts not being
required for them. Ii a man got a pass
from the railroads and charged his mile
age expense to the state 1t was paid.
But the auditor now changes his prac.
tlce III this particular respect and Will
bring it under the general rule. There
fore he says, 'beglnning with the new
fiscal year, July l, 1898, ali parties desir-
ing to draw money from the state treas
ury for railroad travel will be required
to furnish receipts showing the money
has actually been expended" The rul-
Ing is made on the principle that passes
are granted as a favor to the state and
the state ought to have the benefit of
the saving. He further %nnoun thai
