Engaged Couples in Canaries.

Some curious customs are in force In

window to receive his attentions, but
as every one lives in flats in these is
lands there is often considerable dis.

they resort to all kinds Of subterfuges
to prevent their conversation being
overheard, one Of which is to speak in
a low voice against the wall, which re.

An indictment of the Pennsylvania
legislature is made in the annual re-
port, recently presented, of the Afle-
gheny county workhouse, says the New
York Post. The report says that the
Muehlbronner law, passed by the log
islature in 1897, has resulted in throw
ing almost 1900 people into idleness
at the institution, has promoted in
sanity and disease, and has made use
less a large amount of costly machin-
cry as we'll as increased the taxation
of the citizens of Allegheny county.
This law, passed by Quay legisla-
rure at the behest of labor agitators,
forbade the use of machinery in the
prison workshops. Instead of being
an institution to educate and improve
the unfortunate committed to it, the
law has made the workhouse IAN asy-
lum for Migrants and school for
idleness." At neighboring institu-
ton, the Western penitentiary, the
idleness resulting from the law, it is
claimed, has led to disease, insanity
and suicide among the prisoners.

KANSAS OLD CAPITOL
WAS ERECTED IN 1855 AND A
STORY ATTACHES TO 1T.
Z forts Are Now Being Made to Preserve
1t from the Ravages of Time-Was
Built When the West Was Being
First Settled.
Especial letter.

In the state of Kansas there are
seven capitol buildings, including the
present handsome structure at Topeka,
not yet completed, but none has more
romantic history than the state house
which was first erected in Pawnee
township. Efforts are now being made
by the people of Kansas to preserve
from the ravages of time this ancient
relic. 1t is one of few reminders Of
early days left standing there and it
was built when the settlement Of the
west was just beginning. 1t stands near
Fort Riley in the central part of the
state, and is all that is left Of the town
of Pawnee, the first capitol Of the state.
The town was started by boomers who
stood in" with the territorial COVER
nor, A. H. Reder. who owned land
there and was a good deal of specu-
lator.
The town association built the capt.
toll, stone structure, two stories high
and 4OxS0 feet in outside dimensions.
1t laid out the streets and boarding.
houses were made ready for the nrst
meeting of the legislature. Then, in
1855, the governor called the legisla-
ture to meet there, and the solons de-
cided that they would not assist him.
They went from eastern Kansas in
prairie schooners, long procession
that wound its way $50 miles out on
the prairie, the travellers growing more
angry that the governor had selected
so distant place. They had provi-
sions for the trip, and when they
reached Pawnee not one Of them went
to the boarding houses as had been ex-
pected, but they cooked in their wag-
ons and lived on the edge of the town
site.

Cannon to Dlssipate Clouds.

To protect their vineyards against
the ravages of hailstones the vine-
growers of southern France attack
approaching storm clouds with ,volleys
from cannon until the cloud is dissi-
pated. This practice originated in
Italy and was known in France over a
hundred years ago, but it is to be more
extensively employed this year than
ever before.
Fifty-two cannon, manned by 104
gunners and officers, have been dis
tributed over an area of $500 acres of
rich vine land. At the approach of
the hail cloud shot is fired from this
post, and at this signal all the remain
ing cannon are fired, twice a minute at
first, and then more slowly This
"bombarding of the heavens" is almost
invariably successful. The expense of
the experiments so far has been borne
partly by the government, the Nation
al French Agricultural Society, and a
number of wealthy wine growers.

TIE FEAR OF DEATH.
a Haunting Dread Which Grows with

A Haunting Dread Which Grows With
the Accumulation of Riches.
The fear of death apparently grows
with the accumulation of riches. il is
strange that while an ordinary mas,
who Is poor, Is not more afraid to die
than most people, yet he often devel-
ops haunting fear of death after lie
has become rich and spends large
sums of money and leads an unhappy
life in trying to avert his coming fate.
There is one instance in an Eng
lishman, John Islip, who made for
tune out of silver In Mexico, and who
drove himself mad through worrying
about his death. After exhausting all
the safeguards London could offer he
bought a small rocky island near Bry-
chill, on the west Irish coast, taking
with him one faithful servitor. Here,
in feverish haste, he had four stone
pillars raised, and small, one story
cabin, with three rooms, rather like a
household, slung on chains from iron
Orders that crossed the pillars, and
swung clear of the ground. Once in.
side this he, shut himself up, with
some books and pet jackdaw fol
company, and never left his swinging
house till his death.
The attendant, who lived in a small
house close by, used to row to the
mainland-a mile and half-wher
the weather permitted, for provisions
The master spent his time reading anc
looking out over the Atlantic from the
cabin windows. His brain had giver
way, of course, and he imagined his
life stood still while the earth revolvet
under him. He had no relatives tc
insist on his entering private asy.
lum, and he died three years later, ir
the cabin, worried out of life by the
fear of death. His hair was snow
white, though he was only forty
three.
Another case was that of man wht
made fortune in speculation ant
who conceived the idea that all move
ment and effort wasted the tissues o.
the body. He went to bed in quiei
| country house and hardly moved
head or foot for years. If he moved 6
finger he did it with dread fearing
that he would use up his vitality anc
shorten his life,
