st Rules tower, In the town Of st
Andrews, is an evidence OF the link
which binds st. Andrew, whose feast
all good Scotehmen keep. to the coun-
try Of whom he Is the patron saint.
The legend runs that monk called
Regnlus, or Rule, brought the bones of
st. Andrew from Constantlnople to
Scotland and buried them near the sea
coast, on the spot round which the
present town of st. Andrews after
ward grew. Whether the story is true
or not, there seems to be no other way
TO explain the connection Of this partic-
ular saint with Scotland. for he seems
TO have passed the whole of his life up
TO the moment of bis martyrdom In the
east. James III. certainly associated
him with the country across the Tweed.
for 1t was he who founded the Order
of st. Andrew In 1857, to be conferred
on the king and sixteen knights. Lon

A TRANSIT OF VENUS.
How 1t Was Observed by u Party of
German Scientistr


On their way between Telriz and
Teheran the members of an expedition
sent to Persia by the German govern
ment to observe the transitof Venus met
a solitary European lady riding in the
opposite direction, member of the
English colony, who was as clever as
she was beautiful. Having been long
resident in Persia, she was fearless
ly riding alone n long way ahead of her
caravan. The Germans marveled at
such an apparition In such a dreary
waste-wondered she wasn't afraid.
Wouldn't she let some of them stand
By until her servants and baggage
came up? No, she was quite at ease,
and usually I'm her travels was far
ahead of her attendants, whose mules
mere heavily laden. could not keep her
pace.
"And now, gentlemen" she said,
"who are you. and where are you
bound for?"
| They introduced each other. One was
the astronomer, another the photogra-
pher, another the archaologist, the nat
uralist. and so on and they were going
to Ispahan to observe the transit OF
Venus. The lady smiled, started her
pony and waved her adieu, saying:
"To observe the transit of Venus?
All, well, you can go home now gen.
tlemen Your duty is done. Goodby."
The fair vision disappeared II Il can.

that the Germans did not see the Joke
till a long time after Venus had disap-
peared from their ken.-Life OF Major

Why He Did Not Discharge a Certain
Railroad Conductor.
Among the first railroads built In the
United States was little line about
twenty miles In length. In the course
of time big tunnel line was construct
ed through the same country. The orig
inal line became merely branch. For
many years 1t was run In chehp way,
with one locomotive, one engineer aud
two or three freight cars
Finally a new general manager was
appointed. He had been In the office
but week when he sent for the one
lone conductor who had held the posi-
tlon ever since the road was built.

What is the best telephoned city In
the world? San Francisco seems TO be
the answer In that city. with popu-
lation Of 342,7S2, there are 21,324 tele-
phones, or slxty-two per thousand. In
Europe, Copenhagen Is probably the
best telephoned city, with 1871 tele-
phones to its 312,S59 OF population,
equal to forty-nine per thousand. In
Copenhagen, too, the best conditions
for the public exist, although the rates
are relatively as high as those in Amer
lean cities. London compares very un-
favorably with these figures. AT the
beginning of this year there were Ill,
Ill telephones to n population of more
than 100000, or a proportion of sew
cn to every thousand people. New
York, with a population of $3.50, 900
had 5I,G47 instruments, or twenty-sfx

elapsed before the subject occurred to
his mind again. Then the same time
and pains were given to the subject
that had lten given to 1t before, and
the results were again put ON paper
and laid aside. So completely had he
forgotten that he had copied the same
paragraphs and reflections before that

thing by the way, which is going to-
make whole lot Of trouble whenever
woman outrage becomes the law Of the
land
The registration law IN the tate r fer.
red to was very simple and very eff C.
tive. The township Or precinct b ard
met on certain advertised lays ne week
before election, not less than TWO or more
than three, aud held continuous re ision
from eight O'Clock a. m. until eight
O'Clock p. m. during which time tie
voter appeared before the board and re-
quested that his name be registered. II
Fell-known citizen and a continuous re.
sident of the precinC'--down went his
name and that was all there was ol t..
lie was not required to swear to any
thing. The board knew he vas q legal
voter and they simply recorded the fact.
More than this II there was a know n
legal voter, who did not appear for re-
gistration, it was the duty Of the board
TO put such names upon the registration
books. Lists Of all the legal voters wei .
| published aud posted about the precinct
and the man who found his name there
on, did not concern himself further
about the matter until election day.
In case person moved from one pre-
cinct to another, he must see to 1t that
he has registered in the new precinct
and be a resident therein ten days be-
fore election. All foreigners were re-
quested to produce their naturalization
papers, and in any case Of doubt with
strangers, they might be put under oatt
and examined an to their qualifications
which, II satisfactory to the board, then
names went upon the book. There wal
very little machinery about the business
and that OF the very plainest, simples
kind, and yet one seldom heard Of any

Certain it is, the Oregon registration
law should be vigorously amended anC
made simpler in operation-patternet
, after the election laws in other states
which have been for years in satisfactory
use. No man should be required u
register, so long as he remains in th'
same voting precinct, or St the iurthes
not oitener than once in ten years. II
