Tn. America. an octoroo..

The average adult American Is statistical octoroon. If the blood In the veins of all our people, white and black, were pooled and redistrlbuted. each person would have about seven The white strain in him. moreover, Is by no means purely American. White strains of foreign origin. derived from Germany, Ireland, Scandinavia. Can ada, Great Britain and the countries of southern Europe, are collectively more powerful in his composition than Is the negro strain.
 Thus, going back only one genera ton. we find him to be a composite. and nationalities. The peoples of the earth, from the Kongo under the equa- tor to the North cape of Europe. have contributed. either immediately or re- motely, to his composition. But with 1t all we ind the Anglo-Saxon strain the dominant one. His political h. stitutions. his laws, his social condi- tions and his mental characteristics, his power of initiative and his inde- pendence of thought and action are Anglo-Saxon, sharpened and intensified by fresh contact with nature under new and untried conditions.
 1t is a strange and gratifying thing to witness, In connection with this mixture of blood, the complete domi- nance of the Anglo-Saxon strain. and 1t argues we'll for It's strength and vitality as we'll as for the welfare of the country which he occupies and governs.-Everybo Magazine.

House Ventilation Tn Bombay.

Most of the new houses In Bombay have a fine show of windows on the outside. but no corresponding opening to allow a current of air to pass through. The mean annual temper ature Is 1918 degrees F., and the mean relative humidity 17 per cent. The mean annual range of temperature Is 4G.9 degrees, but there are periods dur Ing the rains when the diurnal range of temperature does not exceed 2 de- grees, and, unless there Is wind. venti- lation Is practically stopped because the outer air and that In the buildings are reduced to nearly one temperature.
 With the thermometer at 82 to S4 de- grees. and the air heavily charged with moisture, the surplus heat of the human body escapes too slowly. and much discomfort ensues. As 1t Is not possible to dry the air In m ordinary house. the usual remedy Is to produce a current by means of punka. and although the influence of this Is very local. 1t has been found that in the worst Bombay weather life Is made tolerable in its current. The chief drawback of the punka Is the punka walla. He Is dirty. unrellably. especial ly at night. and his work. counting day and night. costs 24 rupees per month for a single punka.-Colliers

A western man at fashionable bar In New York called for horn aud then had to tell the drink mixer that IL was whisky he wanted before he got his order filled.
 Curious" commented the western CT, how people in the east can't under stand plain English Anybody down in Kentucky knows what "a horn is and now it got it's name"
 How did it get its namer' inquired a bystander.
 "wcll, along about 100 years ago the first diStillery ever established in Ten nessce was set up in Davidson county.

CANAAN CONN. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 21,

lu run 10 bascomD's and there side track for the express. We could do 1t with three or four minutes to spare. Bascom's was not even station, but a siding half mile long on the prairie. and we must do our own switching. For three miles beyond It was straight track, and then 1t went curv- ing and turning among the hills and over a brawling creek. When we had come within a mile of the siding, looked for Jim to begin to slow up, but he made no move. Half a minute and he even increased the speed, and when I shouted in his ear he waved me back. We passed the siding at a clip of 25 miles an hour and gaining on that ev- cry minute, and as 1 at last grabbed Jim's arm he pulled revolver from his breast and motioned for me to stand back. The man had not gone crazy, he had not misunderstood his orders, but what was he doing in thus passing the siding? In run of three or four miles we must meet the ex- press. For a second I thought of at- tacking him with a poker, but he look ed over his shoulder at me with a grim smile and motioned with his head for me to jump. Then 1t occurred to me that the train had got away from him. and turned and sprang from the cab. It was soft prairie for the fall. but 1t seemed to me that l turned over and over 500 times before the breath was finally knocked out of my body. When my senses returned, heard the hiss of steam and the shrieks and cries of in- jured men and women, and had stag gered along the track less than a mile when came upon the frightful wreck. The engines of the express and freight had met head on, and 52 people had been killed and TO injured in the awful smash It was the most terrible rail- road wreck for a score of years.
 I helped to get old Jim's crushed and mutilated body out, and helped to get out the crushed and mutilated bodies of his wife and Frazer, but 1t was days before I got at the true facts in the case. Finding himself betrayed, the old man had deliberately brought about the collision that he might have re- venge on the guilty pair and be wiped out at the same time. If he thought of the innocent who would suffer as well, he had no pity. He must have hated the whole world as well as those who had directly wronged him. It was an awful thing he did, but he of fered his own life with the sacrifice, and somehow I have always felt that, even though he presented such a cool, calm front to me, the fires of insanity must have been blazing in his brain every minute after reading that tele- gram.

POOR OLD JIM
 -s-S-s- BY M. QUAD
 -~%-s- Copyright, 1901, by C. B. Lewis.

I was running on fast freight as fire man, and my engineer was man nam- ed Colville. He was ten years my sen Tor and also an old bachelor. Jim was what everybody called square man. He had lots of sentiment for a plain, uneducated man and a conscience so tender that he wouldn't have knowing ly hurt the feelings of an Indian. He was sort of daddy" for POO miles along the line and had the esteem of officials and men alike. The idea that Jim would fall In love at his age would have been laughed to scorn by all who knew him. and yet he not only went soft" on a girl, but made the mistake that old bachelors often do. She was chit named Mary Blaine. only half his age and coquette and firt. We figured it out that there was more sym pathy than love on his part and that she was marrying him instead of a younger and better looking man be- cause he had several thousand dollars In the bank and would baby her up. They were married on the quiet one day. and for few weeks old Jim's face carried look of contentment and things went well in his little home at Pine Hill.
 By and by I noticed change to anx- iety, and at times the engineer was preoccupied and absentminded. I nev- CT asked Jim or any other man ques- ton, but through the gossip of my landlady learned that the young wife

Lonelfne.s and Health.

A medical journal has of late been discoursing on the indigestion of lone Illness. By this title Is meant to be in- dicated the disorders of digestion which are believed to follow the practice of taking ones meals In solitary state. The topic Is by no means an uninter- esting one. Thousands of men and wo- men living alone are compelled to take their meals for the most part without company. Week In and week out they feed themselves without soul to talk to. and the medical journal devotes its energies to showing that the practice Is not one that Is likely to be conducive to digestion. to proper bodily nourish- ment or to health. The solitary man soon tires of merely eating. and, If he Is not of a literary turn of mind. his tend ency Is to hurry through his meals to escape from his loneliness Into the so- ciety of his fellow men. Herein. It is held, Hes danger to health.

TURNED AND sPRANo FROM THE CAB.
 was very extravagant in her ways and was given to fits of sulks when re- proved. 1t was also said that she was fond of going to parties and balls and was being generally criticised. Every week for many weeks I heard some new gossip. and, while realizing that 1t must be exaggerated. there was enough truth to make me anxious about my old pard's happiness. I hated to be- lieve the tales. and yet I found many others limiting that the young wife
 was not playing a straight game with the trusting husband. Such an affair Is one of the meanest on earth to med
 dle with. It is none of your business even if you are brother, and yet you
 feel that 1t is and want to do some
 thing. wouldn't have had old Jim
 deceived. and yet how could I go to him with the gossip?
 By and by passenger engineer named Frazer came to live at the Hill. He was a man of 28, good looking. good company and free handed. He knew Jim well. and he soon got ac- qualnted with the wife. I threw my self in Frazer's way one day and told
 him what public gossip said and left
 1t to him whether he shouldn't stop be-
 fore the home was wrecked. He laugh ed in contempt. When became indig-
 nant. he became defiant. and the result
 was fight in which battered him up until he was in bed for week. Old
 Jim was sure to hear of the row, of course. and the day after 1t happened he looked at me in a queer way as we took our engine out of the stable. l felt sure he was going to speak about the fight. but he checked himself after a word or two. He had not only been told about the scrap. but what had led up to it as we'll. and there was only one of two courses for him to take. He must either bid me mind my own busi- ness and let him attend to his own do- mestic affairs or take 1t for granted that I was acting in friendly spirit and be put upon his guard for the fu- ture. When he remained silent, knew that he had adopted the latter course. l do not know what man or woman my chum took into his confidence, but
 1t was some one who kept him thor oughly posted. He must have reproved, argued and commanded, but the girl | wife either openly defied him or slyly | deceived him. Frazer was less bold
 after the row. and for time 1t seemed
 as If harmony and happiness might be
 restored. It was all a trick, however. on the part of an infatuated, vain | minded young wife on the one hand
 0nd an unprincipled man of the world on the other. man who cared not | what wreck he left behind him.
 | We were just leaving our western terminus one morning when old nm
 received a telegram. He opened the telegram with steady hand, read the | message without a tremor and then
 twisted 1t up and lighted his pipe with | it. And yet 1 came to know that the | telegram told him that his wife and
 Frazer were eloping together and had tickets for the day express bound
 west. His imperturbability deceived
 me, and did hot give the message 8
 second thought. A man must have
 nerves of steel to con a message like
 that and never blanch. At noon. when
 we reached Thomaayille. we got orders
