TWO INDTTID Us.

There are at least two ways of looking at a thing. One way is thus illustrated by the Coal Trade Journal: With the first of next month the last of the ten- cent monthly advances in the price of hard coal, as per the plan laid down in March last, will have taken place, This will bring the price up to the rate pre- vailing in the spring of the year, and the arrangement has proven good one to the trade in it's entirety. Prices of hard coal are better this year than in many recent years The individual op- orators are getting a good thing out of the present hard coal trade condition.
 Decidedly cheerful for the individual operator" isn't it? The individual con- sumer isn't taking quite so cheerful a view of the situation. In many cases he is wondering how he is going to keep warm in the face of those beautiful and completed ten-cent. monthly advances which are so good for the trade and so encouraging to the individual operator.

to cast it's quick flash in their iris of
 dark gray of a stormy and agitated
 sky's color. And, like the eyes of an insane person, they make avery trou-
 besome and anxious impression on the close observer, which one can only sus-
 tain after long period of observance and practice.
 The truth is that the whole physiog-
 nomy of the sultan corresponds to his different characters, even the charac-
 ter of that hypocritical sweetness that he wears occasionally. Of middle
 size, a little hunchbacked and extreme
 ly thin, which veXes him exceedingly,
 he has the appearance of hardly keep | ing up his breathing, and, in fact, he
 only lives by his nerves. Such a phy-
 sique could not be without effect on | his mind. Abdul Hamid is in reality a | hysteric, a monomaniac, and his phys- I cal condition is enough to explain the | inconsistencies of his character A Turk who has been for a long time in intimate relations with him has given this opinion of him, ITO this day I do
 not know whether the man is intelli-
 gent or stupid brave or fearful req sonable or insane" His psychology is a problem, one which can be, however, solved by study.
 The sultan is very intelligent. but the
 tyranny and the continual fright in which he lives, would naturally oblige him to use all his mind for his personal safety, and use only the faculties that could serve this purpose, such as sus- picion, deceit, self defense. These fac- ulties, the only ones used by him, him developed enormously, so as to suppress the others, and in that brain, worn with neuralgia, have turned into tyran- nical passions. Thus it is that Abdul Hamid has become, in time, a great monomaniac of the kind the doctors call "persecuted." He is endowed with keen perception and great cunning which enable him to form an admirably exact idea of the course of events and which his morbid imagination enor- mously exaggenates; this accounts for the violence of his extremely harsh measures Thanks to the vigilance of his mind, he realizes the inner meaning of matters and knows how to extricate himself from the most grave situations. ! Analysist and psychologist, he knows l the people and thoroughly understands | how to use them.--Boston Transcript

TOO MANY ACCTDEN7S.

Our navy doesn't seem to be in quite
 as gloomy condition as the navies of
 some other countries are said to be by
 those who are trying to get them en-
 larged, but that is rather mournful story which is told about the accidents to the machinery of small warships. Such accidents have, 1t is said, been es- pecially nun Arous. Only the other day the torpedo boat Winslow, while en route to New York from Norfolk was forced to put in at Philadelphia so that some one could be found to put the en- zines in shape. It has frequently hap pened that troubles have occurred with the machinery beyond the power of those in control to overcome. The re- suit has been that help had to be sought at some navy yard. In other cases the absence of trained engineer officer below decks has made itself felt in extreme wear and tear on the ma chinery, necessitating the substitution of new parts long before the usual per- iod of service has expired, When the officers at the department are asked the reason for all these breakdowns. they say that they are caused by an insufTi- cient supply of engineer officers. Only are there engineer officers in charge who have the benefits of Naval Acad- emy training. On the great majority of torpedo boats, destroyers and other small crafts warrant machinlsts are running the machinery, many of whom are expert artisans But no one at the

Some of the crops in this country there is one crop which, though per-
 haps not quite as good as wheat, is quite as abundant. During the first six months of the year, according to the Financial Chronicles statement, new issues of bonds were listed on the New York stock exchange to the amount of $161 67S, 300, which just about equals the amount listed all together during the first half of the four preceding years. Bonds issued to replace old securities
 Gin many cases stocks) aggregated $226 697S, 400 additional in the half year. At the same time the listings of stock, including new issues and to take up old issues, aggregated s1,273, ,575-a vol une never before even partially ap preached. And of stocks and bonds not listed on the exchange, the creation of recent speculative enterprise, there re- mains an immense volume additional.

THE SULTAN AS HE IS.


 Arched Forehead, Flat Temples High Eye Sockets, Big Cheek Bones Sem sual Lips.
 Sultan Abdul Hamid II Is the subject
 of a psychological analysis in the book
 of Georges Dorys, recently published in
 Paris, a. masterly diagnosis of the
 great assassin's" complex psychology.
 The sultan began his 59th year on the
 22d of September last. His person has
 undergone great changes in the course
 of time, and it is very difficult to know
 in him to-day the Prince Abdul Hamid
 of 25 years ago. The chin has widened,
 thus giving to the face a hardness, a
 rusticity which it had not before. The
 bones of the cheek which were not seen formerly, are very prominent now from the hollow cheeks, which he has hidden for 20 years under short beard, which
 would have become gray now, should he not dye it with his own hands, and very badly, in black and fa,wn by a mixture of coffee "hennia" and other things, which a sheikh has taught him. His slightly arched forehead covers it's want of hair under large "fez" which he caused to be used in Turkey, and whose form, size and color make the piteous paleness of his face to appear more sickly. The nose has become more curvilinear. His mustache, now thicker, dyed also, and which his thin and delicate hand often caresses with a, gesture almost completely covers now the upper lip, thin and wicked; the lower lip has thickened and accentuated it's sensual expression. The fold of cruelty which completes the expression of that mouth, so interest," ing for a physiognomist, has become deeper and more striking. The flat tenn ples which are traversed by the large sockets of the eye, have become deep CT and the eyes, half covered now under the heavy eyebrow and the low eyelds, seem to hide the dull flames of their glance. The eyes are the most confus- ing part of that physiognomy which is, however, so complex in it's ensemble It is true they express generally a per plexed sadness and deceit, but some times they are fixed, yelled almost plunged in an impenetrable melancholy; after a moment they get a delicious acuteness, and a ceaseless animation, when the anger or the fear should come

Awful.

 There is little maiden Who has an awful time; She has to hurry awfully To get to school at nine. She has an awful teacher, Her tasks are awful hard; Her playmates all are awful rough When playing ill the yard. She has an awful kitty Who often shows her claws; A dog who jumps upon her dress With awful muddy paws. She has a baby sister With an awful little nose, With awful cunning dimples, And such awful little toes. She has two little brothers, And they are awful boys; With their awful drums and trumpets They make an awful noise. Do come, I pray thee, common sense, Come and this maid defend; Or else, fear, her awful life Will have an awful end.
