to the New York Times man, Ito see
the mothers illtreat small boys. 1t is
ethical cruelty, but quite as disastrous
as physical ill-treatment might be, it
seems TO me. / see poor little fellows
Of seven or eight-nice little men who
would be manly If they were allowed
to be, pulled around in the cars, out
of the ears, pushed into that seat and
out of it into another as If they were

are very nearly that, for seven or eight
years of such pushing and pulling is
enough to take all the spirit out of a
small boy unless he has unusual vigor
Of character.

ginning to look out for his mother and
finding seats for her. Occasionally a
sensible mother, who treats her boy
like human being, Is to be found.

gether. The boy who is dragged
around like a little muff during the

Zone Of the most scientific pieces OF
railroad running l ever saw" said
John Rutgers, former employee OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. who
has now given up railroading and Is
engaged In business at Milwaukee,
FUSED to be done on the .Pensy.' At
that time they were running an hour
and a half train from Philadelphia to
this city, and as the present speed Of
locomotives had not then been attained
it was somewhat difficult OF getting en-
gineers to make 1t. The terrific speed
maintained. together with the constant
strain, Of anxiety throughout the run,
told heavily on mems nerves, and after
taking the train through IA few times
they had to give 1t up. But TO return
to the scientific work l started to tell
you Of. To make such a schedule
every minute that could be saved was
counted. Princeton grade was one
drawback to the run. 1t was long and
heavy, and an inevitable delay always
ensued there. To stop and couple on
another engine would not help matters.
as the time necessary for the stop more
than equaled the extra time required
to climb the grade. Finally they tried
coupling on the extra engine when
running at full speed, and the plan
worked to perfection as long as the
train was kept up. 1t was one Of the
most beautiful pieces OF work ] ever
saw. The extra engine would be rIiIi-
ming quietly along several miles from
the grade. and when the express came
In sight the speed of the extra would
be at once increased until ii was great
er than that of the OncOming train.
Then little by little the engineer would
decrease the speed and drop back until
engine and train would come together
as gently as n feather floats to earth.
A man stationed on the cowcatcher
would couple the two engines together,
and their united strength would whisk
the train up the grade with scarce any
abatement of speed. The grade sur
mounted the forward engine would
then be uncoupled and would run for
ward at top speed until it came TO IA
switch which was open and waiting
for 1t. Into this 1t would run. The
switch would then be closed. and Il mo-
ment later the fast express would
thunder by on its way to its destina-
ton. 1t was n pretty and scientific
sight, and If you realized the attendant
danger a thrilling one as well to
watch"

One Of the Troubles ofa Rich Man,

According to his own admission,
Henry Willard, one of the two sur
viving brothers of the three who were
famous in Washington hotel history
for a third of century, is in failing
health, although he Is active as cat
on his feet and has every appearance
of robust vitality. Henry Willard is
one of the wealthy men of Washington.
He retired from active business several
years ago-that is to say, he retired as
much as he could. A day ago friend
met him on the street and inquired
about his health.
II am feeling badly" was the reply.
Il do not sleep well. / toss all night
long. and wake up unrefreshed. l do
not know what am going to do"
Thinking to Jolly" him the friend re-
marked: IF / were as comfortably
fixed as you, l think 1 would sleep
soundly. certainly would not lose
sleep from worry"
Il am not so sure of that" rejoined
the old man, and his voice took on a
querulous tone II am not so sure
what you would do il you were In my
place. Why, just think of 1t! Sup
posin' you had from 100000 to ST.
100000 lying idle in the bank all the
time, and had to worry about investin'
it. Maybe you wouldn't find it so
blamed easy to sleep as you think.

Soldiers Ingenuity,

One OF the most durable and service
able arrangements for letter envelopes
has been devised by the soldiers in
the Philippines from native bamboo.
A piece of this material about foot
long is carefully cut and scraped. One
end Is usually cut at the joint Of the
bamboo rod, so that the end Is closed.
BY nature the rod is hollow, and the
whole construction forms a tube. The
letters are made into roll and then
showed into the hollow bamboo.
Through the open end pin is placed,
thus keeping the letters from falling
out. In many instances, because gum
was not available to paste paper ON
the tube, upon which to place the ad-
dress, the soldiers cut on the bamboo
the name OF the person to whom the
letter was consigned.-Eastern Daily

The Supply Of White Oak Giving Out.

The supply of white oak timber in
this country, used extensively and al
most exclusively for shipbuilding of
the most durable kind Is becoming ex-
hausted. A report received at the
Navy Department from an expert who
Is investigating the subject says the
material in Ohio has become scarce,
and no timber of equal quality is to be
found in any other State. Every year,
he says, from 100000 to 800, 900 feet
of this timber Is shipped to Quebec,
and thence to Liverpool, where 1t is
used by British shipbuilders. 1t Is the
general opinion that within ten years
there will be no available white oak
timber i'm Ohio. The naval construct
ors say this presents a serious situa-
ton, although 1t Is not so calamitous
as IL would be were ours not now a
steel navy. Still, we use the white oak
in the construction Of small boats, and
to limited extent In the decking of
warships.

FORGOT BURIED WEALTH.
Gold Dug from a Church Basement Claimed
by Its Old Pastor.

A veritable gold mine was found in
the basement of the Immaculate Con
ception Catholic Church, North Park
avenue and Schiller street, Chicago. on
recent afternoon, and in less than
thirty minutes nearly $1,000 in gold
coin was thrown upon the pile of re-
fuse and dirt which was being taken
from the basement.
The excitement attending the discov-
cry of the gold mine was intense and
for time not only the school children,
who first made the discovery of the
money, took part i'm the search. but the
sisters i'm charge of the parish school
and several brothers left their rooms
and dug about in the pile of ground.
The treasure. according to those in
position to know, was buried under
the church in 1873, during the money
panic by Father Patrick Il. Butler, the
present pastor of the church. and who
Is the oldest priest in point of service
in that section of the country. When
Informed of the discovery of the gold
coin Father Butler took possession of
the money, claiming it as his and an
nouncing that he had buried ii there
years ago.
1t was during the afternoon recess,
when the scholars poured into the
schOolyard and commenced romping
around the refuse which was being
taken from the basement of the church
that the wealth was discovered.
Father Butler was not at the parish
house when the discovery was made,
but he returned when the work OF car
rying the money into the schoolrOom
by the children was going ON. His as
constituent knew no bounds when he
beheld the large pile of glittering gold
on the desk. He recalled having bur
led the money shortly after the church
had been erected.
Later he explained that he had in
herited the money from brother. DR..
Butler, in 1873. The money panic dur
ing that year was at Its height. and
believing the banks unsafe he buried
the money $4,000 under the church,
and long since had forgotten of its ex-
istence
The dates on the coins bear out his
statement, as all bear the date of
years prior to 1873.

The Income Of Ministers and Of Physicians.

Altogether 1t must be ADMITTED that
the medical man, inadequate as his
earnings may be, Is much more fortu-
nate than the clergyman. The latter,
It Is true, gets his rent free, with occa-
sional yearly donations Of potatoes,
hay, -four, and the like, but his living
expenses must be within the limits of
an income scarcely equal to that Of an
average mechanic with regular daily
employment.
1t Is somewhat of surprise to learn
that a first-class clergyman In n coun-
try town averages only from $500 to
$500 as yearly salary, while those In
the large cities are not enough above
those figures to make up the relative
differences In incidental expenses of
living. The latter amounts are said
to range from $1,000 to 81, 200 yearly.
Certainly the average doctor must do
better than this, otherwise he must
either run in debt or look for some
other occupation. III the doctor In prac-
tice must make any living at all, he
Is bound to calculate on n sum one
third more and perhaps double that
which the preacher can get. We are
now speaking Of the average man In
both professions, II being well known
that special skill and recognized ability
In either calling always command pro-
porticuately increased remuneration

The Cross 81 The Lssleu Of Heser Bestowed
% Mother Mary Teresa.

In presence OF all the French troops
guarding the capital OF Tonquin the
Governor General bestowed the Cross
of the Legion of Honor ON Mother
Mary Teresa, Superior OF the Sisters
OF Charity In that empire. The troops
were drawn up In the little plaza Of
the city In a square surrounding plat
form, on which were the Governor
General and his staff.
The General, in n solemn and i'm
pressive tone, addressed her as fol-
lows:
Mother Mary Teresa, when you
were twenty years of age yon received
a wound from a cannon ball while as
sisting one OF the wounded on the field
mt Balaklava. In 1859 the shell from a
mitrailleuse laid you PROSTATE in the
front ranks on the battlefield OF Ma
genta. Since then you have been in
Syria, In China, and In Mexico, and IL
you were not wounded II was not be-
cause you have not exposed yourself.
''In 1870 you were taken up In REFS
hOffen covered with many sabre
wounds. Such deeds of heroism you
have crowned a few weeks ago with
one of the most heroic actions which
history records. A grenade fell upon
the ambulance which was under your
charge-you took up the grenade I'm
your arms; You smiled upon the wound
ed who looked at you with feelings Of
dismay; you carried it distance Of
eighty metres. On laying it down you
noticed that 1t was going to burst; you
threw yourself on the ground; 1t burst;
you were seen covered with blood, but
when persons came to your assistance
you rose up smiling, as Is your wont.
You were scarcely recovered from
your wound when you returned to the
hospital whence / have now summon
ed YOU"
Then the General made her kneel
down and, drawing his sword, touched
her lightly with ii three times on the
shoulder and pinned the Cross of the
Legion of Honor on her habit, saying:
Il put upon you the cross of the
brave, In the name of the French people
and army. No one has gained it by
more deeds of heroism. nor by life so
completely spent in elf-abnegatiOn for
the benefit of your brothers and the
service of your country. Soldiers, pre-
sent arms"'
The troops saluted, the drums and
bugles rang out, the air was filled with
loud acclamations, and all was jubila-
ton and excitement as Mother Teresa
arose, her face suffused with bushes,
and asked:
General, are you done?'
YES" said he.
