Andrew Westcott, constable of Old
Town, saw two heavenly wonders Tues
day night about IL O'Clock. The star.lit
heavens had no cloud to obscure the
vision and as the officer WAS scanning
the starry vault for traces of the lost
Leonids, he says: 81 first saw the
meteors or comets about IL o'clock, my
attention being attracted by light high
in the heavens. The object appear ed to
be about 20, feet wide with narrow
streak of light apparently stationary. 1
looked over toward the river and l saw
another light coming from the direction
of Toppenish. This soon expanded into
huge round ball with a trail to it, The
north end of the object soon detached
itself from the ball or body and tioated
away like a shower of stars. went
home and told my wife and we sat up
and watched the wonderful display until
long after midnight"
Mr.. Westcott is a sober and truthful
man, and his neighbors give full credence
to his wonderful story of the delayed
star shower.

DR.. H. R. Lemen of Alton. Ills. says
II often meet people who have such
wholesome fear of appendicitis that they

In Moments of Peril.

Darwin has shown that the fear OF
man is an acquired, and not native
instinct, and from this we may infer
that with other acquired instincts 1t
would more readily be lost or fall into
allegiance than those instincts that are
inborn. With strange surroundings
animals tend to lose these acquired in
stincts, as Is well shown by the cow
ardice OF the house dog in a strange
house, the unruliness of the horse In
strange harness, and the like. The
land bird in mid-ocean, being bereft OF
its accustomed landmarks, loses with
them it's acquired instincts until the
sight Of land restores its confidence In
itself and gives 1t back all its faculties.
A tameness from a similar cause has
often been noticed in wild animals
during convulsions OF nature, floods
and fire, and it is well known that
panic, such, for example, as is pro-
duced by fire at sea, falling into the
water or a pestilence will bring into
abeyance all a mans acquired instincts
and reduce him to the primitive In
etincts of a brute beast.

Cost of Moving Trains.

The rates charged for transportation
OF passengers by rail are being critt-
cised and questioned in many quar-
ters of the country. This has been
stimulated by the fact that the govern
ment roads OF Austria-Hungary in 1889
reduced rates OF fare from one-half to
increased that the gain in receipts was
over 100000 in two years. Prof.
Parsons cites the cases of many east
ern railroads that sell season tickets
at little more than half cent mile,
and declares that they would not no
SO If 1t was not a fact that that sum
more than covered the cost of transport
tation. He says that some companies,
which he names, sell Communication tick
cts at seven-tenths of a cent mile,
and admit profit Of so per cent in the
business. Prof. Parsons estimates that
the average cost Of moving a passen-
ger train is so cents mile, or about
IA cents a car as is shown by the rail-
way reports. "a moderate train OF
ordinary coaches will carry 400 or 600
persons, so that with well-flled trains
the cost Is not more than one-fifth OF
a cent passenger a mile. All the
expenses of railway traffic are taken
into account in figuring the eighty-cent
cost per train mile" Under govern
ment ownership he claims that these
expenses will be reduced at least a
third, the cost per train mile will fall
to 60 cents, and the cost of carrying
passenger one mile in full train will
be 15 of a cent

EVER so SINCE ADAM.

Shoulder Mems Sins.

Women Have Boon Called Upon 30
Shoulder Mems Sins.
There is nothing on earth that
makes one more provoked than tho
tendency of some persons to lay the
blame for every misfortune that oc-
ours to a man on the shoulders of his
poor wife, who has no possible means
Of retaliation, but must just simply
bear the odium that does not rightfully
rest upon her. says the Philadelphia
Times. There is another phase Of this
question equally prone to rouse my in
dignation, and that is when persons
assert no man would dare to speak to
a woman on the street unless he re-
cetved some encouragement from her.
That is all nonsense. l know at least
a dozen pretty, modest young women,
who have never even so much as
looked at a man they did not know,
who have been addressed in the most
familiar fashion by some well-dressed
loafer who thought his personal charm
80 great that he could with ease break
down the barriers of conventionality
and good breeding.and be forgiven by
the feminine object of his admiration.
That many such have received the
punishment they deserve goes without
saying, but many more are merely
ignored. The girl is too refined to
create a scene, and thus when he has
received only the silent snub, hardly
noticeable to the passers-by, he goes
on his way to tackle another one who
has not encouraged him a whit more
than the first, despite all masculine
assertions to the contrary. Men can
fail-men do fail-in business with
out having their failure caused by
their wives extragance. Men do drink
without being driven to it by the CO.
Quetries of their wives with other men
or an absence Of congeniality in their
homes, and men do speak to women
on the sti eet without being in the least
bit encouraged to do SO. They take a
chance, and it is pity that they are
let down so easily when that chance
is not in their favor. But even If they
were caught in the very commission
of their act Of effrontery they would
probably brazen 1t out and lay the
blame on the innocent woman. Ever
since the day when Adam, the coward.
wriggled out of the responsibility for
his misdoing by saying, "The woman
tempted me and l did eat" men have
been inventing lame excuses for their
failings, and are glad enough to saddle
the blame on the opposite sex, though
they know in their hearts they are
taking refuge in the most palpable
subterfuges that deceive very few
women at least, whatever they may
make men believe on the subject.
