In the last number of his lecture bulletin
President Gunton, OF the Institute OF Social
Economics takes for his text 'Prosperity and
the Cost OF Living and analyzes the outcry
that the laboring man is not getting due pro.
portion of the benefits arising from the present
era of high prices. The conclusions he reaches
will not he popular among deniagogues. These
little bi.weekly pamphlets are, by the way,
among the most instructive publications relat-
ing 10 labor capital and the right adjustment
of their relations that are to be had. Professor
Gunton is always logical, frank and broad.
Two papers in the North American Review for
April are especially notable. One is by Mark
Twain, who, apropos of the fuss made over Prince
Lord?" and in Characteristic vein shows that it
does and why The other, by Professor James
Bryce, entitled 'Reiections OH the State Of
Cuba" gives an unbiased and intelligent esti
mate of the conditions and probabilities in the
Pearl of the Antilles. 1t is worth remarking
that Professor Bryce is firm believer in the in.
cvitableness of annexation.

probably few OF them. II any, had ever
heard that such a place existed. 1t was
only gradually that the belief grew that
these phenomena were due to Krakatoa,
when the accounts were carefully COM
pared and when the dates were studied at
which the phenomena were witnessed in the
various localities, II was demonstrated that
these phenomena, notwithstanding their
worldwide distribution, had certainly
arisen from the eruption in the little island
in the straits of sunda. 1t was most as
suredly Krakatoa that painted the sun and
moon and produced the other strange and
weird phenomena Of the tropics.
After a little time we learned what had
actually happened. The dust manufacture
by the supreme CONFUSION was whlrled
around the earth In the mighty atmospheric
current into which the volcano discharged
It. AS the dust cloud was swept along b.
this incompatible hurricane It showed IT'S
presence In the most glorious manner By
decking the sun and moon in hues Of un-
accustomed splendor and beauty. The blue
color OF the sky under ordinary circum.
stances Is due to particles in the air and
when the ordinary notes Of the sunbeam
were reinforced by the myriads Of notes
produced by Krakatoa even the sun Itself
sometimes showed a blue tinge. Thus the
progress OF the dust cloud was traced oui
by the extraordinary sky effects it pro.
duced and from the progress Of the dust
cloud we inferred the movements Of the
invisible air current which carried It along.

QUAINT FEATURES OF LIFE.

Heroism in saving the life Of a companion
nearly fifty years ago reaped its reward
last week when Horace Dring, a carpenter
of Evanston, ILL.,, received word from Eng
land that he had fallen heir to S25, 900. The
money was bequeathed to Mr.. Dring by a
wealthy merchant of Hull, England, who
died a week ago. Mr.. Dring had received
no word of the whereabouts Of his former
companion since he left England forty
years ago. While returning from school
one day the boys were stacked by a savage
dog. The beast severely laeerated Dring's
companion and would probably have killed
him had not Dring rushed TO the rescue.

much-beloved wife consulted a stone mason

A short time afterward the widower fell
in love with a very charming girl. to whom
he became engaged. He Immediately felt
concerned about the epitaph upon the tomb
stone OF his former wife and again con-
suited the stone mason, to whom he ex-
planned the circumstances and stated that
the epitaph would have to be changed. He
intended to leave town, returning on the
day Of the wedding. and implored the mason
to take the matter in hand and alter the
epitaph so that the feelings Of his pros
pective wife would not be hurt. This the
mason promised to do and when the widower
returned he visited the grave at once, ind
ing that the mason had been true to his
word. the epitaph now appearing: 1.-THE

ST. Joseph, Mo-, April 2S.-A special
to the Daily News from Marysville,
Kan, says: The town of Herkimer, OF

A BAD WRECK.
Wind Causes Disaster on Grand
Trunk Road Near Haskells, Ind.
Some Deaths Feared,

Valparaiso, Ind, April 2s.-A fast
east-bound passenger train on the Chi
cago & Grand Trunk railway was
wrecked shortly after ten o'clock Fri
day evening at Haskells, little sta
ton eight miles east of this city and
Ga miles from Chicago. 1t is feared
that number of trainmen or passen-
gers-perhaps both-were killed or in
jured, although this fact cannot be as
certained at this hour. The engi-
neer and firemen are known to be miss
ing. A special train carrying wreck
ing crew and corps of surgeons was
made up here and rushed to the scene
of the disaster. 1t left Valparaiso
shortly before midnight. Grand Trunk
local officials claim to know nothing
of the particulars. 1t is admitted,
however, that the wreck was caused
by the high wind, which blew two
empty freight cars from siding to
the main track. The passenger train
crashed into these cars at full speed,
as it did not slacken speed in passing
through Haskells.

One of the most ingenious plans to

connection with Louis Klopsch, of the
Christian Herald. The sermons were
put into type and sent out in advance

By this means readers of journals hav-
