Not a Bad Idea.

At the old.fashioned inns and restau-
rants in Sweden it is customary to
charge less for women than for men,
on the theory that they do not eat SO
much. At some hotels in Sweden a
man and wife are charged as one and
one.half persons if they occupy the
same room. A husband and wife may
travel as one and one half persons by
railway, and also by the post routes,
furnishing their own carriage.

Familiar Phenomenon.

The "bloody rain" reported in Italy
is a phenomenon familiar to natural
lists. The microscope has demon
strated that the redness of the BED
sea, of rare snow and occasional rain
is due to living organisms transported
by abnormal atmospheric conditions.
Sometimes lurid ashes and scoriae
from active volcanoes produce the
same effects. The "fata morgana" is
a mirage OF the Straits of Messina and
is not rare.-Chicago Chronicle.

The emperor of Germany is always
meeting with accidents, although on
the middle finger of his left hand he
wears a famous talsman which for
centuries has been credited with q
supernatural power to protect the
wearcr from evil and injury Of all
kinds. It is a dark-colored, square
shaped stone, set in a massive gold
ring, and originally belonged to Sa-
ladin, from whom it was captured by
a German knight under the walls of
Jerusalem during the crusades. 1t
afterward came into the possession
of Ulrich, the margrare of Nurem-
burg, who was the founder of the
Hohenzollern family. This ring has
been passed down from generation to
generation, one of the most highly
priced and interesting heirlooms of
the dynasty, but the kings of Prus-
sia of late generations have seldom
worn it until it was inherited by the
present kaiser. It is a matter of dis
cussion whether he wears it from
superstition or ordinary interest. 1t
has never left his finger since he
came to the throne, although by this
time he must have lost confidence in
the protective power of the jewell

A Puzzled Author.

The San Francisco Argonaut tells an
amusing story about Alphonse Daudet.
When he brought out "Sappho, an Amer
loan publishing house that issues religious
books, not knowing its character, offered
NJ. Daudet large sum for advance sheets
of the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When the
publishers received them, they decided that
they could not issue the book, and they
cabled to the author, 'Sappho' will not
do This dispatch puzzled Daudet. He
consulted with numbers of friends, and
this was the conclusion at which they
eventually arrived: "Sappho" in French
is spelled with one "p"-"Sapho," after
the Greek fashion. In English 1t is spelled
with two. An unusually acute friend
pointed this out to Daudet, which much
relieved the novelist, and he cabled back
to the publishers, "Spell it with two p's. /"
It Is needless to state that the publishers
were more astonished at Daudet's reply
than he had been at their cable dispatch.

Japanese Journalism.

Japanese journalism" says mission
ary's wife, "is singular profession In
many of it's features. There is practically
no such thing as freedom Of the press in
Japan. Whenever newspaper publishes
something unfriendly to the government
it is suppressed and the editor is sent to
prison. The real editor is never impris-
oned, though. Every newspaper has what
the japanese call dummy editor, and 1t
is his sole duty to go to jail every time the
paper is suppressed for offending the
mikado. Then the real editor changes the
name of the paper and keeps on publishing
1t. Dummy editors spend most Of their
time in prison."

A MIDNIGHT KILLING.
Death OF an Aged and We'll Known
Resident.

We learn that one night recently Mr..
Wakelng, who lives at the Ancrum place,
was aroused from his slumbers during the
hours Of the night when graveyards are said
to yRwn. Ap omlnous noise proceeded from
the piazza. Realizing that his property, az
we'll as his life, might be endangered, Mr..
Wakeling prepared himself for the worst.
His best gun was grasped, and with II In hand
he quietly went TO q window and peeping
through the glass from which, in the dark
ness, he discovered the form OF the being who
was trying to enter his dwelling steathily
during the silent watches. Drawing the cur
tains to one side he, in the exercise OF the
divine right OF lf.protection, raised the fire
arm. Firing through the glass window, =
crash and loud report startled the other
inmates OF the house. and the neghbors won.
dered the cause OF the unusual proceeding.
The victim fell heavily to the floor. and the
feelings which instantly overcame Mr..
Wakeing are seldom realized. He felt that
his hands were now imbued with human
blood, but The thought that be had acted
solely In defence of himself and his property
soothed his aching heart. After the first
shock had passed away thoughts OF the coron-
or, the courts, the lawyers and the jurors,
divided time. Finally, he sailed forth TO the
scene OF blood and death. A dying form lay
bleeding upon the floor. gray beard was
streaked with crimson. and in little while
the flowing life-tide had done its work. All
were In the presence OF death.
The two-dollar Billy Goat, for which Mr.
Wakeling so recently paid Messrs. A. NJ. Hill
Sons eight dollars. lay dead. 1t Is presum.
ed the old animal had been walking In his
sleep when he was fired upon.

Importan 20 of Regular Living.

A question has lately arisen as to the in
crease or the rerorso in nervous diseases,
some arguing that the cause of the sup
posed increase in such nervous diseases lies
in the increased demand made by the con-
ditions of modern life upon the brain. 1t
Is quite true that the conditions OF life are
very different nowadays from what they
were few years ago. Wenow live in high
pressure age, and in one Of keen competi-
tion, when greater effort is needed In every
branch of life to attain successful. posi-
ton, when the brain is always working
and there is constant tension. Such con-
ditions, it will be perfectly obvious to all,
are not favorable to diminution Of nerv-
ous diseases, but rather the reverse. At
the same time, 1t cannot be denied that
the comforts of life have increased. We
have better sanitation, cleaner houses and
fresher air.
There can be no question that men OF
regular habits are healthier, happier, live
longer and do more than those who obey
caprice and impulse. The adoption OF
hygienic habits saves the nervous system
an enormous amount of friction and waste
It preserves vitality. Regularity econo-
mizes not only physical stamina, but time
az we'll. The man who knows no system
in the details of his life, who exhausts ma
ture at the instance of a passing whim,
who drinks and smokes to excess, who
wastes the talents bestowed upon him, II
the one who must sooner or later fall VIC
tim to disease. Regularity and modera.
tion In all things should be the motto OF
life, and it should be remembered that
regularity does not necessarily preclude the
enjoyment of variety. A certain amount
of variety prevents man from becoming q
mere machine, but variety should not in
terfere with those regular habits OF life
which are necessary to the maintenance OF
health.-New York Ledger.

HIS SECOND ASSIGNMENT.
A Leaf Out of Newspaper Reporters
Early Experience.


Early Experience.
"My first assignment" said an old re-
porter, "was to find out whether some
body was in town, or something of that
SORT I know there was nothing to be
written about 1t. got the information
and reported to the city editor. That was
all had to do that day. For the rest Of
the day I sat around the Office and looked
on with an infatuation that has never de-
creased The next day got my second
assignment In this thero was something
to write about.
"The city editor handed me a narrow
little strip of white tissue paper out from
sheet of ship news and containing, in two
lines of writing, information that two la
borers had been washed overheard from
the barge So-and-so, laden with ore, COM
ing up the bay in tow of the tug So-and-
so. What was to do was to get the facts
about the occurrence and write thom.
"The city editor said that If would
find the oonsignees of the barge or the
owner of the tug would get on the trace
of the story. The names Of the oonsignoes
were in the two lines of ship news, and
simply by looking in the directory l found
their Office without the slightest trouble.
There I learned where the cargo was tied
up. It was at a wharf in Hoboken or
Weehawken, don't remember which, and
I made for that. When I turned from the
street down tho wharf, there she was, tied
up alongside, her name on the wheelhouse
Sho was about half unloaded, and men
were still at work carrying off tho ore.
81 was not altogether without expert
ence in life, but I had never done anything
that gave me quite the satisfaction that 1t
did to find that ore barge in my first ac-
tual experience as reporter. The captain
was aboard, and so were the surviving
members of the little party Of laborers
who had started up the bay in her, and SO
the whole story was right there. sat on
the striHgpiece of the wharf and talked
with the captain of the boat. He told the
story with entire willingness. Of course
there was no reason why he shouldn't and
then I went back to the office and wrote
1t up. 1t was not great story. I knew
that. It was like thousands of stories that
the newspapers are sending after all the
time, Of the manifold daily occurrence OF
life, but I must put 1t together in good
shape, get in all the facts and put the
story in the smallest space.
"In the morning went out and got q
paper before breakfast. wanted to read
my story of the loss Of the men from the
ore barge I looked the paper over, and,
my gracious, couldn't find 1t ALL l
thought they must have left it out alto.
getber, but when I came to look the paper
over again found 'it-a scant stickful,
with single line head.
"But when I came to read 1t over l
found that the facts were all there. They
had simply been brought closer together
by method of condensation far more acute
than mine and had then been set in agate
type" New York Sun.
