Mustn't own Their Engines.

The railroad engineer who "owns"
his engine is not in favor with his su-
periors. Complaints about trivial mat
ters are likely to be made against him,
and soon he finds himself without O
berth. The phrase "owning an en-
gine'' does not mean that the engineer
has acquired title in his iron horse.
The expression is used of a man who
has been with a certain engine so long
that he becomes a part Of it. He
knows it's every popularity; he feels
its every protest against heavy load,
and he nurses it and coddles it as If it
were his child. He dislikes to run the
engine at top speed for fear something
will happen to it, and in consequence
his train is frequently behind time.
He takes a grade at half the rate he
should, and he runs cautiously down
hill. In q word, he "owns' his engine
Of course this is all very nice and
idyllic, and it is the kind Of thing a
person likes to read about in stories Of
the railroad. But plain, practical rail-
road men look at it differently. They
argue that the best engineer is the man
who never fails to run his train ac.
cording to his running time, the man
who is never behind and seldom ahead.
So it comes about that the engineers
who makes a master Of that which
should be his servant wonders who
has a grudge against him. But'it isn't
a grudge; it's business.

to the Womans Home Companion that
the South American women make the
best wives in the world. After mar.
riage the woman is as one lost to the
world. Her career is finished as far
as matters outside her domestic af.
fairs are concerned. Her duties COLI
sist in bringing up her children, and
in exercising a mild sovereignty in her
domestic domain. There are no wom-
ems rights conventions, no woman's
temperance societies, no daughters"
no mothers meetings. The wife knows
nothing of the family finances and she
is not consulted in the consideration
of her husbands serious affairs. South
American women are very charitable.
and are kindness itself to the poor peo-
pie in their neighborhood, as they send
portions of bread and meat every day
TO their poor neighbors.-Chicago

Poison From Pineapples.

The juice of the green pineapple Is
accredited in java, the Philippines,
and the Far East generally with be-
ing a blood poison of a must deadly
nature. 1t is said to be the substance
with which the Malays poison their
kreeses and daggers, and to be also
the "fingernair' poison formerly in
use among aborigine Javanese women
almost universally. These women cul-
tivated a. nail on each hand to long
sharp point, and the least scratch from
one of these was certain death.-Lon-

The Unparalleled Century.

One hundred years ago! What re-.
markable story the panorama of the
closing century reveals! In 1900, our
country was q plucky fledgeling,
healthy, vigorous, ardent in hope, high
in resolve. Our total population was
less than 100000. Germany and
Britain each had four times our num-
ber, Spain twice as many, and even lit
tie Portugal had as big family Of
sons and daughters as Uncle Sam.
West of the Mississippi all was wilder
ness. We had thirteen little States
and few cities Of prominence except
Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore,
Boston and Charleston. The entire
revenue Of the United States Govern
ment under our first administration
was only $4,50OO00, while it now costs
annually sos, ,100,413.33 to defray the
expense of the Government of Greater
New York. Washington was then a
new settlement, with only few thou
sand population, and had been only
lately made the capital. The total
wealth Of the country was roundly es-
timated 1T 5000, 100000, or a very little
less than $40 per capita.-Success.

The Style in Stationery.

Some people use one kind of writing
paper from years end to years end,
regardless of the changes of fashion,
but the majority like to keep up to
the times in this as in everything else.
Fashions change in writing paper, en-
craving, etc, as in everything else.
For instance, year or SO ago the
square envelope was used exclusively
and the .oblong one looked very old
fashioned indeed. Now, the positions
are reversed; the only stylish envelope
is oblong and the square shape quite
passe. Two sizes Of oblong envelope
ere de rigueur-one, the smaller, for
notes, is about three inches wide and
five long. The larger style. for letters
and mostly used by men for all their
correspondence, is about three and
three-quarter inches wide by five and
three-quarter long. This difference Of
three-quarters Of an inch seems
trifing, but in reality it makes decld-
ed change in the appearance Of the en-
velope.
There are several new styles of writ
ing paper out this season, but most
women prefer the heavy linen, or the
bond, old blue vying with cream white
for first place as far as tint goes.
Etamine and French coquille, or Or
candle, are two of the latest novelties.
The former takes its name from the
open-meshed dress fabric whose weave
1t closely resembles. They are both
ideas that originated in France.

Bad Manners in London Streets.

Weak, nervous and elderly people
are often made very uncomfortable by
the overcrowding Of the London pave
ments in the more frequented parts,
while busy men are driven to de-
spair by the obstacles to direct
walking. Of late the Inconvenience
experienced has been increased by
the fact that the public Of London are,
on the whole, less orderly and we'll
hammered than those Of previous
generation. The deterioration Of pub.
lie manners of the men, and especially
Of the boys, in the streets is a subject
Of constant remark among those whose
memory carries them back only ten OF
fifteen years.-The Lancet.

The Tucked Gown Reappears.

The tucked gown has appeared again
but made in rather different style. The
blouse in smooth tucks that are
stitched down or trimmed with cross
bands Of lace, the upper part Of the
skirt tucked half way down is banded
with heavy lace or embroidery and be-
low the embroidery pleated ruf1le.
There are number Of new materials
that come already tucked. Tucked
waists in silk are much in evidence.
There is tendency to band all skirts
made of thin fabrics. For example,
one of the newest skirts of crepe de
chine has a tight-ftting yoke about
four inches deep, and from it falls an
accordion-pleated skirt, which is
banded into as small q compass as is
possible to allow enough freedom for
walking, with three four-inch bands
Of stitched cloth. Heavy lace and
appuques Of panne, silk or cloth are
also used for these bands.

The pencil Trade,

The German pencil trade is suffering
severely from competition Of American
lead-pencil makers. The ingenious Ia
bor-saving machinery Of American
factories and their large scale Of pro-
duction and especially cheaper prices
at which they can supply themselves
with cedar wood, are the chief causes
for the failure of German makers to
hold their own. The fact is that Ger
many is practically dependent upon
the United States for her supply OF
CEDAR and the best Of the wood is
kent In America.-The Manufacturer.

Protective Colorinc and Form,

The sea is full of wonders of protec-
tive coloring and form, and there is
one real chameleon in it-namely, the
chameleon shrimp. This, like it's land
counterpart, changes color from min
ute to minute-now green out in the
sunlight, now yellow on the sand, and
again dark brown under the shadows
of some projecting rock. There is an
other quaint little fish which haunts
the weed tracts Of the Gulf Stream,
and there builds it's nest and lays its
eggs like a bird rather than a fish.
This animal-the antennarius-is not
very easy to see owing to its similarity
to it's surroundings. 1t initiates in
color the weed it lives in, and, like the
chameleon, constantly changes it's color

Casts as Decorations.

One wants to avoid making a "spot
of a plaster cast. One small cast on
a dark wall with nothing about it iu
the way of pictures or books would be
apt to prove the only visible thing in a
room. On the other hand, when a
cast Is large and important, it may be
treated with the dignity that one OBJ
serves in hanging pictures. There Is,
for example, that famous group Of
Singing Boys" by Luca della Robbia,
in bass-relief, from the lunette Of the
doors leading into the sacristy Of the
Duomo at Florence. This deserves q
place to itself over q mantel-piece, OF
a panel at one side Of the room may
be given to it. So, too, many Of the
Aladonnas, always in bass-relief, may
be treated as one would treat pictures

Hint to the Furniture BUYER.

In buying furniture for any part OF
the house many things are to be con-
sidered. Expense is only one Of the
issues. If service is limited, that
which has little or no ornamentation
is most suitable, because there will be
a great saving of time in busting anc
caring for it. Dainty china can be
bought in the cheaper wares, an6
many a heartache will be spared II
this and not the costly pieces are brok
en-. Hours are spent in wearisome
nerve rackirg shopping where minute:
would suffice were proper thought Civ
en- to the needed articles, and careful
lists made out beforehand. Elaborate
household equipments in any depart
ment mean time, strength and money
to keep in repair. Where these are no.
proportioned to the means, shoddinesi
and shabbiness are sure to ensue.

HOW SHE COT A PENSION.
BY Unintentionally Killing Her Trooper
Husband in Fight For Her Life.

BY Un1ntent1Onally hhiinR Snei AA"oP~'
Husband in Fight For Her Life.
A pension has been allowed recently
to the widow of a soldier Of the Sixth
United States Cavalry for whose death
the beneficiary was responsible. While
this startling fact would seem to de-
bar the widow, the peculiar and inter.
esting circumstances of the soldiers
demise rendered it proper for the pen
sion officials to pass favorably upon
her application.
1t appears that the soldier, according
to the Coroner's verdict, came to his
death May Z, 1888, through choking
with a leather watch chain in the
hands of his wife while she was pro-
tecting her life. The widows state
ment before the jury disclosed a re-
markable series of incidents, and was
corroborated in all essential respects
by other witnesses. She testified that
her husband had been drinking heavi-
ly for a week. She had gone to him
at - o'clock and told him that dinner
was ready. He made no response, and
after the meal was finished, and the
diners had gone, he came and told her
to prepare dinner at once. She at first
demonstrated, but observing strange
look upon his face, became frightened,
and began to do as he commanded.
The husband then said with an oath
that he was going to kill her and
struck her, knocking her against the
table. The wife then fed from the
house, thinking to find some of the
men about the place who would quiet
or restrain her husband. She ran to a
field where men were plowing and be-
sought their interference or protection.
They refused, saying they could do
nothing with the man. Meanwhile he
had gathered up the baby, mounted
horse and followed in pursuit of her.
The husband rode up to his wife, wno
begged him not to hurt her. He re-
piled, with an oath, that he would
break her bones, and would kill her;
that she must die. He then threw the
baby to the ground, pulled his six
shooter from his belt, tried to make
his horse run over her, and reached
out trying to strike her with his re-
volver. AS he leaned over he fell from
his horse to the ground on his side
and back. In falling he fell against
his wife, knocking her down. She
jumped up, threw herself upon her
husband, intending to get his revolver
away from him. She laid hold of his
leather watch chain, which he wore
around his neck This leather guard
fastened with a slip-knot. The wife
clutched the chain with one hand and
with the other held one of her hus-
bands hands. She was exhausted.
and lay in that condition for four or
FIVE minutes. He did not struggle, but
made queer noise in his throat.
When the woman recovered she
arose, hid the revolver, and ran to the
house. When the men went to where
her husband lay they found him dead.
The wife had unintentionally stranglnd
her husband. Her pension has been
granted, and to-day she is drawing
