UNLUcKY DAYS AND HOURS
German stntistician Has Figured Out Just When Accidents
 Are Most Likely

Only painstaking, plodding German investigator would go to the trouble of trying to find out by statistics on what day of the week most accidents occur and at what hour of the day. This is what has been done by Dr. Wolff, of Strasburg.
 He bases his conclusions on 1.o71 cases of accidents among the working classes. It thus appears that Monday is not less unlucky than Friday when it comes to accidents, and for this fact he accounts by the statement that the dri- ::-SS shops are most frequented by worlmen in Germany on the days pre- vious, viz, Saturdays, Sundays and Thursdays.
 Fewer accidents happen on Tuesday

Iron Giving Place to Steel.

Steel has almost superseded iron in the manufacture of pipe and tubing un- til it is estimated that almost 75 per cent. of the entire produc. of the coun- try is now made of steel. Up to few years ago wrought iron was used al- nest exclusively. The lap-weld joint proved serious objection, and the change to steel has been rapid and com plete. Steel pipe is stronger. has long, CT life and is less liable to corrosion Steel tubing has enabled the bicycle industry 10 become revolutionized. and pipe forms leading article in tonnage of the steel industry in this country and foreign markets.

HARD ON HIS NERVES.
A Chicago Proof Reader Who Could Not stand for Badly Punctu-
 ated Signs.

The old proof reader, who had been for more than Q score of years correct ing the thousand and one minor errors which the haste of newspaper-making allows to creep into "copy' before ii reaches the printers hands, was most methodical man, as proof readers are likely to be. He came to work at the same hour and minute every evening, worked in the same methodical way md knocked off at the same time, start ing immediately for home with one par ticular ehum. But one night he made a change in his mode of procedure, which was the more remarkable com ing from him.
 It was the end of the week, and like all well-regulated printers, he bor rowed his weekly dollar and started for home. But instead of taking the near est road he struck off on a roundabout course.
 What's the matter?' inquired his partner. "why don't you go down Twelfth street tonight instead of talk ing this long route?"
 The proof reader hesitated moment and then said:
 'Well, I'll tell you. I'm getting so l can't bear Twelfth street any more, the signs over the stores are so badly spelled and punetuated."

GRIP CAR FENDER.
The New Device rieks Up Hams and Other Things Which Fall
 from Wagons.

The untold and hitherto unsnspeeted poasf biiiaes of the stEeet car fender as a collector of things various was hinted at by an occurrence on Washington street the other day, whereby the gen tie pripman came out considerably ahead of the game, reports Chicago paper. A market wagon laden to the guards with sides of beef and hams and barrels of tendeTloin and other things edihle and every way pleasant to look upon even in their raw and unwashed condition was occupying the track in front of a Madison street cable train. The gripman sounded the gong Justify and the driver of the meat wagon at tempted to pull out of the track to make way. But the grip was too close for comfort and it grazed the wagon, jarring the load and spilling half a dozen hams on the ground.
 The driver pulled up his horse hastily when he had cleared the track and jumped off to gather the precious prod uce from the street, but two of the hams fell within the tracks and were promptly scooped up by the fender. The gripman threw his weight on the lever and the train shot along toward the west with the hams reposing safely on the steel carrier, probably to enrich the larder of the gripman. Now, if some one would drop an occasional overcoat or barrel of four now and then in front of cable car the life of the gripman would be one long, purple holiday.

TERRIBLE JUDICIAL ERROR.
How Lying Servants Caused the Ex- ecution of an InDeeeat Man
 in Russia.

A terrible judicial error is reported from Bychawa, in Russian Poland. In February, 1892. merchant arrived at an inn there and took a room for the night. In the morning he was found dead in bed and had every appearance of having died natural death. The "boots," Ivan Psehatka, and servant however, both swore that they hao seen the innkeeper, Cazek, strangle the merchant, take money from his pockets and bury it near certain tree in the garden. Their evidence was con firmed by the discovery of 50 rublee buried at the spot mentioned by them The judge held that Cazek's guilt was now conclusively proved and sentenced him to death. Cazek was shortly after ward hanged in spite of his protesta- tions of innocence.
 Ivan Pschatla married the servant and Cazek was almost forgotten, wher Pschatka and his wife recently quar reled and made accusations againsf each other. which led to investigations being made. It hasnow transpired tha' Cazek was in the habit of hiding hi. own savings near the tree in the gar. den. Psehatka and the servant dis covered the hiding place and stole all the money except 50 ruhles.
 They were, however, terribly afraid of being detected and when the mer- chant happened 10 die in the inn just at the opportune moment fer them they eoneocted the story of murder and caused the innocent Caaek to be found guilty of murder and hanged. The two interruptions perjurers are now await ing trial for their awful crime.

BOYCOTT OF ROYAL ORIGIN.
The Measure Was Started by Bss- gium's Queen Against Lace
 Made by Machinery.

The stamp of royal approval has been placed upon the boycott. that en- zine so often employed with effect ill bloodIess warfare. Queen Marie Hen- riette of Belgium, seeing danger to many thousands of her people in the introduction of machines for making lace. wrote to her sister queens throughout Europe and received their cooperation in Q movement 10 boycott the product of such machines. Since the advent of lacemaking machinery the number of lacemakers in Belgium and northern France has decreased by about 10000, and many of these workers have been unable to secure employment. Queen Marie therefore took the matter up and has met with no inconsiderahle degree of success. Her majesty is one of the most accom- plished women in Europe. Queen Marie Henriette is the daughter of the late Archdmke Joseph of Austria. She is the mother of Princess Stephanie of Austria. The pope has recognized her with the Golden Rose of Virtue, the highest regard he could bestow upon her. She is noted for her fondneEs for horses, which she shows by giving equestrian entertainments She is also an enthusiastic musician and plays the harp and piano like pro- fessional. Some of her paintings are worthy of the Paris salon. Two years ago she is said to have attempted sui eide because of the proaigacy Of her husband, King Leopold.

cENTENARIAN PENSIONERS.
The Queer DIacovery Thot Has Just Been Made by the spnninh Min
 lstry of Justice.

AnDuitants never die. The fact has just been Illustrated by a circular from inc Spanish ministry ot justice ts the collective lgelates of Spain. 4 law was passed in 1887 deahng with the Spanish national debt. according to which law there were certain nuns in, Spa nsh con vents and sisterhoods who held lien on the state for small allowance to be paid by the treasury to each mem Der yearly. The circular goes on to state. in calm. official style. that in 1s3I the youngest of these religious ladies was IT, the eldest was 66. Between them comes varying list of ages. and all these ladies, be tremembered, were state annuitants. And now we are in lSsS, and not single death has been recorded in these 61 years. The nuns have with complete unanimity and uni formity paced peacefully through the century, and remain a perfect and uli, broken body of annuitanfs still. The youngest would be 7s, the eldest 127 and almost all the others have scored their three figures. The treasury finds something suspicious in this unbroken succession of eentenariaus, costing if no less than 10000 francs. Their lord ships are asked for an explanation and the venerable nuns are invited to fur nish proof that they really are alive. failing which," says the circular, abruptly, "ye shall be scheduled as dead"

CARTRIDGE BEER MUGS.
Used Tn tho LRte War to Re the Real Thing.

or all the war relics which have deluged the country, the new cartridge beer mugsare the most unique. A fash ionabfe New York jeweler has discov- cred that large cartridges lend them selves to this purpose, and has prepared several attractive designs, says the New York World.
 The cartridge beer mugs are made fsom empty six-pound shells. The cart ridges are a little more than three inches in diameter at the base and slightly narrower at tfe top. where the shell was placed The opening is large enough to drink from comfortably. II is the same size as the hole made by these six-pounder shot in the sides of the Spanish warships.
 The cartridges are made of brass in order that they will stand the strain put upon ibem at the moment o1 eXplo- sion without bursting. This quality of brass will take higher polish than poorer grades of the metal When pol ished, the mugs glisten like gold.
 Some of the new mugs are arranged with detachable handles, so that the cartridge may be used as vase. The cnly other decoration is a silver band on the front setting forth the history of the cartridge. The inscription records the name of the ship.

BALLAST ABOVE DUCKS.
A New Idea That Is Receiving Atten- ton in Marine Circles-A
 s1ccessfuI Test.

It is only within the last few years that sailors have discovered the great advantage of carrying ballast on the decks of empty ships, says the Man chester Guardian. In sailing ships. Of course, it is necessary to have the weight as low down in the hull as may be, for the object is to give the vessel stiffness" and to counterbalance the pressure of the wind on her sails. But in steamers the weight of ballast need is small; most of it is carried 10 i'm merse the propeller and 10 .reduee uo5l- ing, and as a steamers center Of gray fly is generally neargr to hes dees than to her keel, ballast on deck stead- ies her more than ballast at the bottom of the hod. Some captains. it is tT1e, still refuse to believe that 1t can be safe 10 carry weight so high up. but the number of tramp steamers that go to sea with rubbish on their decks is steadily increasing.
 The Mancunia, which has just had her first experience of the Atlantic, is the first steamer in which provision for caTTying water ballast above the water line. The sides are double, and the space between the inner and oaser skins can be filled or emptied at will, so that there is no occasion to cum Der her decks with solid ballast. Her captains statement that this voyage in her was by far the most comfortable of 12 made by him across the Atlantic ''in ballast" confirmed as ii is by the record of the ships clinoneter, is cer- tainly remarkable.

 He has also discovered the remak- able fact that the hours after breakfast. dinner and the afternoon rest, are Sig nalized by most accidents.
 He attributes this to the lassitude caused by the work of digestion, and 10 the use made by men of intoxicants during meal times.
 lie also establishes the fact that in Iacteries where the meal hours are greatly curtailed there is an excess Of accidents over the factories where the men are more liberally treated in this respect.

A TERRIBLE PLANT.
# Grows tR Hsxtco and Ita Toxic Properties Are Deadly in
 Bnecr.

Among the plants of the earth prob ably none possess stranger properties than the talavatch of Mexico. It's tox. ic effects are remarkable as those as cribed 10 the fabled waters of the ieshe. only do they differ in that in stead of destroying the memory of the past, as the Letheon potion was sup posed to do. the talayutch works de- struction of the memory of the things 10 come. and does not affect the mem cry of the past. The victim knows no more of time. but that which is in thu past before he has quaffed this strange and awful decoction. The physical functions are in no wise disturbed by its administra ton, but the mind hence forth becomes no longer receptive, and passing events are not noted by it, and no record is made in the realm of req son as to what transpires. The vic tim often lives for years after having been "talavatched." but always lives in the past. Past delights are mostly dwelt upon and conversed bout. Sad indeed is the case of member of the royal family of Mexico. relic of the days of the empire. who for years has been the victim of the effects of this wonderful drug. She was poisoned with it by an unfaithful servant. and to-day lives in strict seclusion, still in her mind the proud possessor of all the privileges of her departed nobility. There is in Texas plant of similar species known as the loco weed, which, when eaten by horses, always renders them insane. but produces no impair ment of body.

 HELD TO THE GRAND JURY. = T. Lynch, who was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Bush last Saturday night in the act of robbing a drunken Mexican, was given preliminary hearing before Jus tice JohnstOne yesterday and was held
 to the grand jury Lynch's defense was that when the officer came upon him he was trying to take the Mexican to bed. He had taken 50 cents out of his pocket as he admitted when he was arrested, but he explained yester- day that he was only collecting his fee in advance for his trouble. He had told another Mexican standing by that he was a deputy sheriff. He also admitted this. but said he had said so in order to force the Mexican to go to bed. Lynch's case was made worse by the damaging fact that he did not
 know the Mexican and could have had no interest in his welfare. The Mex ican claimed when he got sober that Lynch had stolen a S5 gold piece from him. Lynch had about $27 when he was arrested
