Stops the Train.

With a view to preventing accidents at level crossings and collisions in the of railway stations very ingenious mechanism has recently been tried in France. It consists essentially of huge hook, or catch, made of iron, which is connected with lever at the station by means of a wire, through which a current of electricity passes When 1t is lying In its place the train passes over 1t quite easily, but as soon as 1t is raised it catches lever which is attached to the engine. The lever thus caught causes an air valve on the engine to open automatically and ap- plies the brakes at once, so that the whole train Is brought to a standstill within a short distance In foggy weather the use of such an apparatus cannot be overestimated, as it Is calcu- lated to prevent a train running into another which happens to be delayed at a station.

continuity of our social and moral es- tablishments, says the Chicago Jour nal. Tn the interests of good order and a higher sense of responsibility on the part of civilized humanity, the mar riage custom has evolved from a sim pie, savage rite to one that carries a deep obligation and is interlinked with a Sacramental solemnity that makes it strikingly impressive. There are civil and religious marriages, but both have legal sanction. They constitute con- tracts that cannot be easily abrogated, and the entire thought of those who framed our laws was to throw the greatest protection around the institu- tiOn. Statutes have been enacted that severely punish the man or woman who enters the connubial state and then proves false to the sacred vows If there were no restraint, the family that inhabits the earth would be illegit- innate and lawless, disconnected and shameless-mere tribes that would prey upon each other in the most bar barous manner. A positive union of souls is beautifully sentimental. pr. Heron and Miss Rand assert that they have discovered between themselves a love that is abiding and harmonious, love that is so strong and everlasting that no words of priest or prelate are needed to cement it, and that all they should be coerced into doing is mak- nf hn law of the land, prescribing certain formalities they declare pestiferous and unnecessary, and begrudgingly comply with it. Prof. Heron must have performed few mental gym nastics since he led his first wife to the altar. He gave her his love, and two children were born to them be- fore he deserted her for Miss Rand. If his sOul-merging system is infallible why did he transfer his affections? Would he advise every man to leave his wife as soon as he ascertained that the original physical love was not capable of being ripened into the higher spiritual love? Would he urge a practice requiring nothing more obligatory than "I take this woman to be my companion" or 'I take this man 10 be my companion" Simpli- fled his teaching amounts to nothing more. It panders to the vicious in- stincts of the brute in man and if in vogue would bring innumerable im- moralities in its train. Society is well founded. It must adhere to the an cient and honorable customs which have builded 1t up, and Prof. Heron and his bride should be summed by re- spectability.

IN GLAD CONTENT.

Tho world, they say, is gettin' old an
 weary as can be! But write me down as sayln US gooo
 enough for me! It's good enough with all it's grief, it's
 pleasure, an its pain; An there's a ray of sunshine for every
 drop O rain! They stumble in the lonesome dark, they
 cry for light to see; But write me down as sayin' it's light
 enough for me. It's light enough to lead us on from
 where we faint an fall, An the hilltop nearest heaven wears the
 brightest crown O all! They talk about the fadin' hopes that
 mock the years to be; But write me down as sayin' there's hope
 enough for me! Over the old worlds wailin' the sWeeter
 music swells; In the stormiest night 1 listen an near
 the bells-the bells! This world O Gods is brighter than we
 ever dream or know; Its burdens growth lighter-an' it's Love
 that makes lem so! An I'm thankful that I'm Twin where
 Loves blessedness 1 see, Meath a heaven that's forgivin', where
 the bells ring ''Home" to me! Atlanta Constitution.

The Mule i'm Hypnotism.

Max CarnaveauX, who gives exhibi- tions of his power in hypnotism, has decided that in future he will be more careful in the selection of his subjects for experiment.
 One of his favorite tricks was to per suade the man who submitted to him for test that he was a mule, and great merriment always followed the mulish antics of the victim while he was under the hypnotic influence.
 But one day, down in Lyndon, Kan sas, MT. Carnaveaux, feeling unusually sprightly and jovial, presumed a little too far on the good nature and genial ity of the mule pro tenn, and carried away by the strength of hypnotic sug- gestion, the man under the spell sud denly kicked out with great violence and struck the hypnotist in the hand. fracturing one of the bones.
 For a few weeks, therefore, there have been no hypnotic experiments of any sort, and MT. Carnaveaux has made up his mind to give up the mule trick and rely on animals of more peaceable and reliable dispositions.

full manner. When you gave way to the temptation and purloined the notes you did not think that they would be so quickly missed. Nor did you think that a shrewd business man would be quite likely to hit upon the route you would take, and by telephoning-yes, you may we'll startLto the bank you would probably call at to change the notes, have you arrested, and your father, brothers and sisters disgraced, within very few hours of your theft being discovered. 1t is entirely owing to the latter contingency that MT. Sil- yerton has instructed me to hand over to you this bag of f5O0 !n gold in ex- change for the notes.
 ''The sole condition he makes is that you leave England and attempt an honorable career abroad. If you re- main in England you will be prosecut- ed, with the result you may easily an ticipate.
 "Do you accept the terms?" he asked.
 "Yes, sir," answered Hampton. .I am very grateful to MT. Silverton. 1 am truly sorry I have done what 1 have done, but With the help of the money lent to me I will keep straight"
 MT. Golden handed the bag to the younger man and received the notes which be casually compared with the list of missing notes received, of course, from MT. Silverton by telephone.
 Golden accompanied Hampton to his office door, and warmly shook him by the hand, and wished him good luck and success in his new life.
 "Where do I come in, you ask?" said Inkster, pausing in his narrative. "Well, you see, I don't appear until near the end, which will probably be rather a surprise to you"
 There happened to be a very smart but rather curious young lady in the telephone exchange, and it also hap pened-by accident, let us say-that she heard the telephonic conversation be- tween the bankers. Whether it was the result of her suspicious nature or wom- ans intuitiveness is quite immaterial, UuL SAc up IAO A1OhAOh Oddh HUI self and asked them if they had heard distinctly when talking to Liverpool.
 The bankers were surprised at the question, and said they had not spoken to Liverpool that day.
 "I must have mistaken the number, ' she quickly answered, "I beg your par don for troubling you"
 Then she rang up the detective office and detailed the supposed conversa- ton to the chief. who laughingly called out to me:
 Here is your man, Inkster, and run to earth by a telephone girl"
 "I was in Liverpool at the time after troublesome gang of forgers," inter- polated Inkster.
 On being told what Miss Telephone had said, was soon In hanson and being quickly driven to the bank. The cab pulled up with jerk, and just as alighted Hampton walked out of the premises into my arms.
 The roll of notes were very clever forgeries, of course, and he would have been amply repaid for his labor had he received f500 cash for them, but he will not be allowed to visit the States

Rara Gems.

The rarest and costliest of gems, though not always esteemed the most beautiful, are pigeon's-blood rubies, fine opals, and diamonds that are pure but shed a distinct glow of blue or pink. A very perfect pearl of gener- ous size and lustrous skin, tinted rare ly beautiful golden green, was valued, unset, at over $1,50O. A faultless green pearl Is very rare. A curious stone is the Alexandrite. It is dark green stone that is polished, cut and set, very like a fine topaz or amethyst, in large showy rings, surrounded by diamonds. By the light of day the Alexandrite has no special beauty save its fine luster, but directly shaft of artificial light strikes the dull stone deep gleams of red flash out of the green, and under the gas or in the irelight one ignorant of this yagary would instantly pro- nounce 1t ruby.

Wet Days for Weddinps.

The adage, Happy is the bride that the sun shines on," is one that is un- known in many lands. A Breton bride takes 1t unhappily when the day of her wedding dawns bright and sunny. Rain on her marriage morn is held to signi- fy that all her tears are shed, and that she will therefore have a happy mar ried life. It Is said that the Erza of Simbrisk call the day before the we'd ding the weeping day, and the bride and her girl friends weep as much as possible, with the idea of getting the mourning of life over, so that only what is joyful may remain. In some countries this result is attained by sousing the bride with water. The Greeks think that a thorough dtench- ing of the bride will bring her lasting good fortune.

No doubt it is a mere coincidence, and yet some people might suppose that the President had superstitlous preference for monosyllables in choos- ing members of his cabinet. There have been in all fifteen heads of the eight departments. Look at this array of names: Day, Hay, Gage, Long, Root. Knox, Bliss, Smith and Griggs. Then there were Gary and Alger, whose names were short, but not monosylla- bic. Seventy-six letters suffice for the surnames of all the fifteen cabinet off cers, or almost exactly five letters to a name.

A Dog Hero.

''The world is full of dog heroes, says a friend and admirer of our ca nine pets; but few of their brave deeds ever come to light, for they cannot tell their own stories." The New York Sun relates the exploit of a St. Bernard. The incident occurred recently at Bloomfield, New Jersey.
 Bruno is splendid specimen of his kind, and his behavior in an emergency has endeared him more than ever to his owners heart.
 The dog Is deeply attached to a fine pair of horses, one of whom Is his spe. cial friend. The dog has often led the animals to water, carrying the end of the rope in his mouth. His air of pride and proprietorship on these occasions has been the source of no small amuse- ment to observers.
 A few nights ago a fine broke out in the Baldwin stable. Bruno was sleep ing outside on the veranda. The fam- fly were awakened in the 'wee sma' hours" by the barking and scratching of Bruno at the house door.
 When MT. Baldwin appeared, the dog seemed beside himself with excitement. He dashed ahead to the stable door, and the instant it was opened rushed in- side.
 MT. Baldwin released one of the horses, and after some difficulty sue ceeded in leading it out of the stable. Then he hurried back for the other horse. As he was forcing his way into the midst of the smoke and flames Bru- no appeared, leading the horse, the end of the halter-rope dangling between his teeth.
 Investigation showed that the St. Bernard had chewed off the rope. It was his friend, his favorite horse, whose life he had saved. MT. Bald win doubts if he himself could have reached the animals stall, so fiercely was the fire raging.

 "A circus?" said MT. Bingo.
 "Yes, sir" was the rejoinder. "The performance never comes up to the ad- vance notices"

The truth is that handwriting has as- sumed a far lower place in business pursuits than 1t occupied a few years ago. The great bulk of mercantile correspondence Is now conducted by means of the typewriter. and that use- ful machine is steadily pushing its way into the realms of authorship and news paper work as well. There will always be a demand for neat and legible pen manship in certain occupations, but in the greater majority of pursuits this no longer exists. although as a per sonal accomplishment, apart from busi- ness uses. 1t is of course eminently de- sirable

A wealthy and cultured American, prominent in social and literary circles, lately died in England, where he had resided for thirty years Since his first week abroad he had never dined at an Englishman's table At his first din ner-party in London his host made a sighting reference to the United States, which his guest, as a guest, could not resent. Upon the spot he resolved never to accept an invitation where such another affront might be put upon his patriotism. For the an- tithesis to this act, cross the channel to Paris. An Austrian archduke, visit ing in that city, offended a Frenchman. who later, in drawing-room, trod on his foot. The archduke took out his handkerchief, brushed the dust from his shoe and remarked aloud to his host. What an awkward person that isv' The archduke was too highly placed in Europe to acknowledge the possibility of intentional Insult. One would need to go far to find two more comprehen- sive illustrations of an unhappy but not infrequent phase of social life. Some persons wound others Intentionally, some unwittingly. Shall one therefore go through life avoiding all society lest perchance ones sensibilities be hurt Or shall one be blind toward even in- tended rudeness and Hive 1t down ?' When the boys in the gutter throw mud. the dignified thing for the pedes- trian is to walk on unheedIng.

.Packin0 or of Widows. !"

A pastime which obtains among the farm classes of Corea, known as the packing off of widows" consists of a raid by some disconsolate widower and his friends on some village known to contain q young widow, the forcible abduction of the lady in question and her marriage to the widower. An in stance of this kind has recently come to our notice. A widower living in one of the villages of Kangwha with eleven friends went to a hamlet close to the walls of Kangwha City, where a widow lived and seized and carried off, after somewhat of a battle, young lady. It so happened, however, that they had mistaken the house, and un- fortunately got hold of the wrong lady. Early the next morning an indignant posse came in pursuit, but the men who had committed the dastardly deed succeeded in eluding them. The young lady, however, was rescued, and after the house of the widower and its con- tents had been completely demolished she was escorted home in triumph by her husband and his friends.-Kobe Chronicle

The tendency to bring producer and consumer together and eliminate mid dlemen has manifested itself in an ar engagement whereby the sale of cotton and wool will be put in the hands of organizations formed of cotton and wool growers. This movement has not attracted much attention because the capital involved is small as compared with that of many of the great manu- featuring combines. But it may result in as great change in business meth Ods and as great economy as any which have resulted from combines which have made great deal more noise.

At last there appears to be q cheer Ing prospect that the West Point hazing scandal may be wiped out. The re- cent commotion in the National AIili- tary Academy is an outgrowth of the Congressional investigations, when Congress decided to bar the practice and certain cadets were subjected to admonition and punishment. At the time 1t was supposed that the incident was closed. but 1t appears that some of the cadets felt 1t to be in order for them to assert themselves in a final protest. When Colonel Mills, follow ing the Congressional instructions, un- dertook to discipline one of them for hazing lower-class man they revolted. After incidentally training a gun on the house of the commandant as a slight token of their disesteem they set to work to secure his dismissal. If there had been any doubt as to the Justice of the Congressional verdict on the haZers 1t is removed by the facts of this case. Young soldiers may be high-spirited and inclined to forget the strict letter of the rules provided for their welfare, but a soldier, young or old, is first of all obedient. In their conduct toward Colonel MiilS the ca- dets were not only disobedienr but mu- tinous. It is impossible to believe that boys who are permitted to rebel against the orders of their superior of feer will be likely to grow into men who can be relied upon for obedience when severer duties are to be required. The expulsion of several of the cadets, with the suspension of others, ought to bring this lesson home in a way that the unruliest student will understand.
