Travelling In JAVA.

A man who has been travelling in
Java thus writes about the Dutch CO.
lonial railways. He says: 'Trains are
used in Java, not on account of their
speed. but on account of the long dis
tances one has to cover. If you are in u
hurry and you haven't more than five
miles to go-walk. You may find some
difficulty in keeping up to the train il
it is going down stiff gradient, but you
will more than make this up on the
fiat. and you'll romp past it on coming
to the slightest ascent. 1t is solemn
fact" he continues, "'that once in the
course Of a mile walk along highway
running parallel with the railway line
caught up to and passed a smell lex
press train. Toward the end of the
walk | entered n shop TO purchase some
cigars, and only after had been in the
shop ten minutes did the train again
pass me."-Pinang Gazette.

A SWEET COURTESY.
To show Appreciation of FnvOrs md
Make Proper Acknowl-
cdEment.

If you would be popular among your
women friends, do not neglect the writ
ing of little notes on special occasions;
notes of sympathy, of coincidence, of
congratulations; they take but few
moments, and are so heartening to the
recipient.
Is friends engagement announced?
Write her few words to show that you
are glad because of her gladness. Has
another friend fallen ill? Send the note
which tells how sorry you are, but, at
the same time, make il merry and anus
ing, that she will laugh perforce, and so
get we'll the sooner. Has some special
piece of good fortune come in the way
Of one whose acquaintance you value?
Write your sincere congratulations.
Don't think you have not time to
spare for these courtesies. 1t is the
busiest women who do find time for
them; for they realize themselves how
a few pleasantly written words will
make the arid desert of an Office desk,
the dreary Though populous) Sahara
of n schoolroom, rejoice and blossom
like spicy, wayside rose.
With the deep and bitter griefs of
life stranger intermeddleth not; and
even friend must be chary(of wordy
sympathy; but you can at least write:
My heart is with you God comfort YOU
1t is the taking thought for others,
the putting ones self in another's place,
that shows the finest flower of courtesy.
Big subscriptions to colleges, hospitals
and libraries have their usefulness, and
should receive the praise that is their
due; but II is
The little nameless. aforementioned acts
or kindness and of love.

TEST OF RYANISM.
The White Metal Colonel Ia On the
Rack I'm His own
State.

In the political campaign in Ncbras,
ka Bryan and Organism have been
placed on trial. The democrats and
populists are united as they were in
1896, 1897 and 1898. They are led by
Mr.. Bryan himself. They are fighting
on the issue of his own choosing-cx-
pansion. They are fighting in his own
| field-his home state. The test at the
polls, therefore, will be final ms regards
Bryan and Organism in the house OF
their friends.
Nebraska was once stalwart repub.
| lican state. 1t was settled largely by
ex-union soldiers of the civil war. The
third party vote in 1850 was only 3,S53
and Garfcld's plurality was 26,i56
Blaine's plurality in 1884 was 22,512, and
Hnrrison's in 1883 was 27,S75.
| In 1890 the republicans divided. The
republican candidate for governor re-
ceived GS,S7s votes. or nearly 10000
fewer than were given 10 Harrison in
| 1883. The democratic candidate for
governor received 1881 votes and the
independent candidate 70,1s7. The re-
| publicans lost every congressional dis
trict and Mr.. Bryan himself carried a
strong republican district over popu
lar candidate.
In 1891 the republicans elected a su.
preme court judge by n plurality OF
3,136. In 1892 Harrison received s7,21a
votes for president, Cleveland 24,o43
and Weaver, the populist candidate, 49,
1874 Tn 1893. the tidal-wavc year of re.
publicanism in other states, the repub-
lionn plurality in Nebraska was but
1896. In 1894 the fusionists elected
their candidate for governor by plu
rality of 3,202, while the republicans
elected all the other state officers, re-
claimed all the congressional districts
except one and secured majority over
all other parties in the legislature.
In 1895 the republican plurality foI
supreme court judge was $500 In 1896
| in the largest vote ever polled in the
! state, Mckinley received 10000 votes
against 1899 for Bryan. In 1897 the
republican vote fell to $4,000 and the
/ fusionists carried the state by 10000
plurality. In 1898 the republican vote
went to 02.02S, but the fusionists car
! ried the state by plurality of 2,T2l and
secured four of the six congressional
districts.
If the republicans of Nebraska car
turn back the adverse tide of the last
/ few years, smite Bryan and Organism
on their own ground and win the vic.
tory all along the line chosen by the
fusionist forces, they will earn the
gratitude of the whole party and the
whole nation, for such signal triumph
would be death blow to the hopes oil
the copperhead democracy throughout
the union. Nebraska republicans have
the eyes of the people upon them. They
are fighting the great fight of the fal
campaign, and nowhere else, save II
Ohio, would republican success wiz
such splendid laurels for the republic
an leaders.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE FEAR OF DEATH.


What is this fear CT death?
Is it the dying?
The gasp of the last struggling breath,
When life is flying?
The fading memory of this world of sor-
The dark forcshadowing of a fearful NOR
row?
Is il the beaded brow,
The eye that glaZes
The once strong arm, so feeble now:
The unknown maZes
OF those dread chambers, through whose
iow'rng portals
Return no more the feet OF entering NOR
tails?
Is 1t that-all forgot:
No loved ones keeping
Sad. tender watch aboye the spot
Where we lie sleeping
We shrink to think upon the earthly pillow.
The votive urn. the sod the pendant will
low?
Strive to forget the grief
Ger death that fingers:
The choking sobs, the farewells brief,
The picking fingers
That seem to weave in some sad, vacant
manner
A bla2on for deaths overhanging banner.
Forget them, feeble man!
But oh, remember!
That leaping from our narrow span,
The fading ember
Springs from the ashes toward the bliss
supernal,
TO Spaces Infinite and realms eternal.

IN THE HEART OF AFRICA.
Lord fiitcbcEcr's Tribute to the
EncrGy OF American bridge
Makers.

Ambassador ChoGte transmits TO
Secretary Hay from London the speech
delivered by Lord Kitchener ~ the
opening Of the bridge over the Atbara
river, in the Soudan. In the course Of
lis remarks Lord Kitchener said: "As
regards this magnificent bridge, |
think we may fairly claim that it is
4 record achievement. 1t was only well
into last October that the credits were
authorized for the extension of the line
to Ehartoum. The sites Of the bridge
had then TO be determined, the boring,
soundings, and sections of the river
had to be completed, and eight solid
double piers to carry the superstruc-
ture had to sunk down to the rock be-
low the river bed to meet the Atbnru
food, which arrived % days earlier than
our experience led us to expect. But
this did not catch us mapping. Owing
to the energy displayed, the piers were
completed more than % days earlier
than was thought possible. When the
first wave came il passed harmlcssly,
carrying away only the temporary
bridge by which we push on railway

Preservation of MIX.

In n bulletin of the West Virginia ex-
pertinent station Mr.. Hite describes n
series of experiments which he made
for the preservation of milk with
pressure of from five to ninety tons
per square inch. At the end of five days
some of the samples were perfectly
sweet, but in no case were all the in
furious bacteria killed, and on the
whole the experiment can hardly be
regarded as n success. Great difficulty
was experienced in procuring cylinders
sufficiently strong to Withstand the
great pressure. In some cases low or
moderate pressure for several days was
tried.--ChicaRo Tribune.
