lar decision against the unclean dishonest and
pestferous brokerage of theatre tickets! But
it probably will not. For the Pennsylvania de-

against the spectators. Oh, no! 1t is more

January "a, 1900.
DEAR FRIENDS: When we ar.
rived at Colorado Springs we took
the Colorado Midland, and dnrine
all that day we climbed the noun
tains, rushing along above the
mountain valleys, through tunnels
and canyons, curving back and
forward again, yet steadily ascend
ing toward the summit. And like
all who pass through Colorado, we
could not but admire, with wonder,
the magnificent scenery. On
through Salt Lake, and at Ogden
we took the Oregon Short Line,
which took us through southern
| Idaho, following down the Snake
river, crossing the river into Ore
gon at Huntington; passing through
the mining district OF Baker City
and Snmpter, on through the
Grand Round valley over the Blue
mountains, which we're covered
with snow; descending the noun
tains into the valley of the Colum-
bia river, which at this place is
covered with sage brush and sand,
until we came to the Cascades;
winding around mountain sides,
over streams, steadily descending
the Columbia, while the mountains
loomed up on both sides of the
river, and the tall fir or pine, point
ing now and then above the clouds,
all unite to form a variety for the
traveller.
We had very pleasant trip, ar
irving at Portland in sixty hours.
The rain was gently descending
upon the moss covered roofs, and
we soon discovered that a slicker,
rubbers and umbrella were quite
useful articles in Oregon. New
berg is twenty-five miles south oi
Portland and has about fifteen
hundred inhabitants. The Pacific
College, which is the Friends
school, is located here. Among
the churches, the Friends have the
largest, which cost Sra, 900. New

An Interesting Coincidence.

In 1884, just after Commodore Sch1ey
returned from rescuing the survivors
of the Greely Arctic expedition, the
Massachusetts Humane Society pre-
sented him with handsome medal for
his achievement, and Benjamin w.
Crowninfield, one of the Bay States
great orators, was sent to Washington
to make the presentation speech.
On the way to the capital Mr.. Crown
infield fell in with an old and prominent
resident of Boston, who took the priyi-
iege of asking the orator what his mis-
sion in Washington was. In reply the
old gentleman was shown the medal
and told what was to be done with it.
Strange coincidence" unused the
venerable gentleman from the Hub.

as now, and asked him where he was
going. He said. that son of his friend.

and that he was going to Maryland to
see the baby. Nearly half century is
past, and now 1 find you going to
Washington to carry a medal to the
man that Gen. Scott visited when the

SHE WAS A PRovIDENT BRIDE.
How a Young Woman Saved Money
for a Wedding Tour.


A promising young lawyer who has
an office in the Girard Building has
just made the delightful discovery that
his fancee is also financier. The
young mans sweetheart resides in Ger
mantown, and for several months past
he has called upon her regularly thrice
week. When he first met the girl,
two years ago, he was, of course, ex-
-tremely anxious to make good inn
preston, and he lavished many pres
ents upon her. The girls parents are
quite well to do, but she disapproves
of any sort of display or prodigality,
and when, Ia the natural course of
events, the. young man proposed and
was accepted, she felt it to be her privi
lege and her duty to read him little
lecture on Economy" She called his
attention to the fact that every time
he called he had been in the habit of
bringing flowers and candy to the value
O. a dollar or two. She suggested that
in the future he should discontinue the
presents, handing over silver dollar
instead whenever he came to see her.
He laughed, for he thought she was
joking, but she speedily assured him
that she was much in earnest. So he
paid his dollar regularly, and finally
came to the conclusion that the money
was. being devoted to charity. The
wedding day was set for next month,
and an extended tour was contemplate
ed. Unfortunately, the young lawyer
recently took flyer" in stocks, and
dropped so much money that he had 70
notify his fiancee that their wedding
trip must be dispensed with. The dear
girl laughed at him, and, leaving the
room for moment, presently returned
with satchel containing 256 silver
dollars. Their plans will not be changed.

Tired Eyes.

Few persons, when travelling by
train, allow their eyes to rest. If they
do not read they watch the scenery.
When reading you try to hold the book
or paper steady, but the types jiggle
lrregularly back and forth as the result
of the motion of the car and the shaki-
ness Of your hand. Your eyes also do
deal of dancing, not only in pursuit
of the bobbing letters, but In addition
because you also are shaken about
more or less by the motion of the train.
Imagine the effect on the muscles of
the eye! First, the eye itself has an
unsteady rest; second, it is trying to
fasten itself on that which is more un-
steady still. Reading is not the only i'll.
Fix your eye on things close to the car
-on flowers, fenceposts, culverts, trees
and the effect is as bad as would bs
brought on by reading. A headache ie
the first warning, but that becomes
common after while, and is not heed
ed any more than the headache that
follows unwise eating. There is closer
connection between the stomach and
the eyes on one side and headache on
the other than most people imagine.

DURING THE GOLD FEVER.
Ninepins Were Played with Bottles OF
Champagne In Melbourne.

Niuepins Were Played with Bottles OF
Champagne In Melbourne.
Gold threatened to become as COM
mon as silver in the days of Solomon.
In one wear 12600,0UO, in eight years
f95, 100000, We're won. Some men at
Golden Point made as much as t40O
each q day. Another exceptionally
lucky party unearthed thirty-four
pounds of gold in one day. No wonder
that such pockets" were termed Jew
elers' shops!' Occasionally a nugget
worth 100000 was unearthed. The re-
suit of this sudden influx of wealth
almost without labor, and with risks
which are infinitesimal as compared
to klondike, was the temporary demor-
aliza ton of the population. Melbourne,
In the height of the gold fever, has
been described by one who knew 1t
well as "a fevered, drunken, dellrious
pandemonium." The lucky ones-and
there were thousands of them-squan-
dered their riches in the most reckless
fashion. Some of their fantastic tricks
would scarcely be credited were they
not attested by witnesses still living.
The game of ninepins. we are told, was
played with bottles Of champagne, for
which he who broke least had to pay;
dozens of the same costly wine were
emptied into tubs, and drunk from tin
pannikins, spirits and beer being added
to give body" to the beverage; one
man, in imitation Of Caligula, shod his
horse with gold; sandwiches made Of
banknotes were devoured; silver wrap
ped up in banknotes was thrown to
popular actresses instead of flowers;
in fact, money was so plentiful that the
reckless diggers could not ''knock it
down" fast enough. They thought they
only had to dig few feet in the earth
to get plenty more, and for time. it
almost seemed as if this were SO. Such
were some of the characteristics of
Victoria's hot youth.-Pall Mall Maya

WORLDS BEYOND NEPTUNE.

The Search Now Being Made by Pro-
fessor Lau of Denmark.
In 1916 Adams and LIE Ferrier point
ed out that the motion of the planet
Uranus was disturbed in progressive
manner probably by an unknown plan
ct. The planet Neptune was discover
ed in that year in consequence of their
calculation, as every one knows.
The methods that they employed have
been perfected since that time and the
theory of Neptune has been critically
examined by Prof. Newcomb and
others to see if it yielded any evidence
for the existence of unknown major
planets revolving about the sun in or
bits exterior to those of Uranus and
Neptune. Prof. Newcomb's conclusions
were that the evidence was not yet de-
cisive either way The problem has
lately been attacked again by Hans
Lau of Copenhagen, who finds evidence
that two such planets exist. At least
if the major planets pointed out by him
do exist the observations of Uranus and
Neptune which he has used Q69O-1S95)
would represent the theoretical mo-
tlOho VI thSSC pidhCtS OCAlSA fh"A eA>J
are represented, supposing his planets
not to exist. His two theoretical plan
cts have these elements:
First planet-Distance from the sun,
forty seven times the earth's distance;
mass, one-twelve thousand nine hun
dredths of the suns mass.
Second planet-Distance from the
Sun coraptv-ouo tiD,as tho nartb,S dis
tance; mass, one twenty-eight hun
dredthS of the suns mass.
Both of these planets are thus exte-
rior to Neptune, whose distance from
the sun is thirty times the earth's dis
tance. The first planet has a mass
somewhat greater than that of Nep-
tune, the second a mass somewhat
greater than that of Saturn. Their
stellar magnitude would be about tenth
and hence they are easily photograph
ed. Prof. Pickering, director of the
Harvard college observatory, has insti-
tuted search for them on the photo
graphic maps of the sky which are in
process of construction at Cambridge.
Such planets as these would have
small, though appreciable, disk, anc
would therefore differ in appearance
from the fixed stars in their neighbor-
hood. 1t is likely that if they veritably
exist they could be detected by their
appearance alone in the great tele-
scopes of the Yerkes and Lick observa-
tories.
The researches undertaken by Mr..
Lau are very delicate and it is far from
certain that the data are sufficient for
the purpose. The method is adequate
and sooner or later will lead to CON-
plete solution.

a Mechanical K..usoitatton.

Professor Laporde, of the Academy
of Medicine. Paris, and NJ. Auguste
Mouchel have deyised little machine
for restoring persons in state of sus-.
pended animation to life by the method
of 'lngual traction" method now
used with great success in cases of
drowning, lightning stroke, electric
shock and suffocation. The tongue is
drawn out rythmically, SO as to stimu-
late the breathing organs, and this
method has been effective in cases
given up as hopeless. but only after
very long application. The friction
sometimes needs to be kept up for
three hours before termination, and,
as the new machine is worked by an
electric motor and quite automatic, it
saves much laborious exertion, and can
save life where the usual methods
would fail.
