THE THRIFT OF THE SWISS.

What Water Instruments! In Develop.
ing he Country.
Nature has not endowed the Swiss
soil with those treasures that in other
lands form the basis on which private
and public wealth is built, through in
dustry and trade, and yet Switzerland
is leading industrial country, able,
with its products, successfully to main
tain 80 position in the commercial
world
This is made possible because its
many water powers atone so plen-
teously for the lack of coal that very
often the saving In power cost is great
enough to pay for the transportation
of products to the borders Of the coun-
try, and even as far as the great
world-markets, and also because the
people, owing to the thorough training
in their technical institutions, and
their intense practical activity at
home and abroad, possess in an EMU
nent degree the capacity for the pro-
duction of goods OF high quality. Ma
chine building takes leading position
among Swiss industries, as is evil
denced by the success achieved at the
Paris exposition. In particular, the
manufacture of turbines has developed
to such a degree, In consequence Of the
need for making the most of tn coun-
try's water power, that twelve COM
panies are now engaged in that bus

Ben-Hur's Close Squeak.

Success with book is something
like having lightning strike you. Up
at Mackinac last summer General Wal
lace told me how narrowly Ben-Hur
escaped publication. 1t was examined
by two of Harper's readers, who re-
ported rather adversely on II. thinking
1t would not be good seller. Finally
Mrs. Harper lady of strong religious
tendencies, read it and advised her
husband to risk the expense of print
ing the book Then there was DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde, which ran u
somewhat similar gauntlet and was
almost rejected.

HIS BUMPS.

Read the Terrible Verdict.
They were newly married and were
calling upon one of the friends of the
bride who had been particularly pleas
ant upon the occasion Of their we'd
ding. The bridegroom, aproDos Of
nothing, began to talk about phren-
ology and told how his wife had dis
covered two very prominent bumps on
the back of his head. He was proud
of them; so was she, and she passed
him around that the host and hostess
might feel the bumps and know their
existence. Then she exlained:
my book on phrenology says that
they mean good mem CRY and gener-
osity."
It was evident that she was proud of
the facts and so was he. But the host,
being OF an lnquiring turn Of mind,
wished to satisfy himself; so he got
down chronological work from one
Of his library shelves, and after much
labor found the bumps on the chart.
Turning to the notes he read, serious
ly at first. then unsteadily. The bride
was Suspicious, but she was game and
said:
Read it out loud. Please dol"
And the host read:
These bumps are most frequently
found on cats and monkeys"
Other topics consumed the remain
der of the visit, which was brief.

239 carats, 1t is OF an absolute purity
Of water, and its cutting presents no
error. 1t is so perfect and so regular
that IL 1t be placed upon the truncated

in equilibrium. It Is faultless as to
color and proportion, and it has not a
flaw to diminish its value.

FRENCH CRIMINALS.

derers.
French Criminals" Mr. H. B. Irving,
who, not content with his brilliant sue
cess as an actor, is busy with his
skillful pen. gives a somewhat pain
full but interesting account of the
famous French criminals of this
century, an account the most remark
able feature of which. perhaps, is that
it shows that there is a surprising de-
gree of truth in some popular ideas
about crime. For instance the curl
Gus way in which criminals exhibit a
mixture of great cunning and great
stupidity is well brought out, and the
fact that the murderer must tell some
one Of his chine is clearly shown,
while time after time there is evil
dence in support of the proposition
that Murder will out" OF course,
one cannot help observing that these
remarks apply only to the cases where
the murderer is caught. In dealing
with the IS murderers, the subject of
the book, one finds throughout an
abnormality that, with but one or two
exceptions, points to something like
madness. Lebiez, medical student
who assisted in murder merely for
the sum of f3, used to lecture on
Dan winism, and his remarks are curl
ously in accord with very modern
ideas.

not room enough, there are not covers

or truce among animals and plants the
same. Religion and science are abso-
lutely irreconCilable."
OF the appearance of his partner in
crime, Barre, when brought before
the judges, there is vivid account in
the official report:
His countenance expresses terror
and stupefac ton. His color is livid,
his haggard eyes seem rs If they saw
in front Ct them some insupportable
spectacle. AS he comes into the Of
flee, his legs give way beneath him
and the warders are obliged to hold
him up. Beads of sw eat roll down his
cheeks
He also was a medical student, and
this precious pair killed a poor old
woman by hitting her on the head
with Il hammer and stabbing her with
a lance-shaped ink eraser. l might
have mentioned that Lebiez was poet
as well as philosopher. Lacenaire.

writes James S....Metcalfe, lin his
account Of Coin Fishin' with

place is Palm Beach, Florida.
Mr.. Jefferson talks of fishing as
we leave the hotel and take our
boat. The fish, he says, is not
all there is to fishing. It keeps
you out ia the fresh lair and
gives YOU occupation = just
enough occupation and inter-
est. If you are a philosopher
and want to think, you}can think

Captain where to drop the an
Choir. In minute our hooks are
baited and over the side. Both
our rods are Immediately Jerking
lin a fashion whichindicates that
something besides the current is
pulling at our lines. The rushes
of the fish threaten to entangle
our lines, but Mr.. Jefferson ex-
Epertly keeps his fish pretty well
to his own side of the boat until
finally we drag in at almost the
safaie instant two splendid
sheepshead.
"The sport continues good,
and there is no doubt about Mr..
Jeferson's keen delight in it.
Our success rousesinterest in the
neighboring boats. As We make
our catches in rapid succession
they come closer to us. Ayoung
woman in the next boat had
been industriously making casts
without taking any fish. Mr..
jefferson had been bush pulling
in fish, tbut not too busy to no.
tice her operations. Young
lady, he finally says.in a kindly
tone, excuse me, but4 thing you
would have better luck if you
would move the sinkers a little
bit further up your line and
throw your hook in over there,
indicating with his finger spot
a little nearer our boat. She
thanks him and does as he sug-
gests. In an instant her rod
shows the jerkings which indi-
. cate that fish has been hooked. "
