The automobile has "come to stay"
or that there can be do doubt. And it
will stay not as a tolerated evil, but
as a highly priced acquisition. But,
after all, automobiles-or their motor
men-do not "own the earth" They
must be used with due regards to the
law, to the rights of other vehicles and
their occupants, and to the common
sense status of public highways. The
highways are common roads for the
general use of all. No one class Of
vehicle users has any right to monop-
Dlize them. And no one has q right
to use them in way that will make
their use by others impossible or un-
safe.

"rhe Maniac on Handling"

"What a large number OF shoppers
there are who never seem satisfied
with seeing a thing, but must needs
hold it, turn it upside down, inside
out, as the case may be-" said Il woman
yesterday. "It is women, not men,
who are given to this bad habit of
handling. A man will walk through
long aisles of goods temptingly dis
played and never venture to touch
them. Not SO with women. Nothing
semes to escape their too eager hands.
1t makes no difference whether they
intend to purchase or not, they never
seem able to resist the temptation to
hold these things in their hands. Silks,
satins, laces, china, glass, jewels. all
are one to them. The frailest, dainti-
est, most perlshable suffer alike. How
often must the heart of the guardian
of these beautiful things quake with
fear. Fancy the condition OF dainty
gown, :. piece Of lace, delicate bit Of
silk that has been fingered by hun
dreds OF not too cleanly gloved hands.
at is not only the shops that suffer-"
she continued, "but the homes of the
friends of these maniacs on handling.
How often it is with a sigh of relief
that a host or hostess sees guests de-
part, thankful at heart that some rare
article of vertu has come out whole
after the careless treatment just ac-
corded it. 1t is q wise mother who
teaches her children to walk into a
drawing room and never by any chance
to put Il finger on thing"

Lake yvinnebaGo Shallow.

Professor Marsh, of Wisconsin. IN

of Lake Winnebago, said that it is
remarkable for its shallowness. AL.
though it is almost twenty-eight mile
In length and ten or more miles il
width, it has a depth of only twenty
five feet. This is due to the fact thai

ing and that the inlet is gradually
filling its bottom with a sandy or
earthly deposit. But Winnebago's shall.
lowness makes it remarkably rich in
fish; indeed, it Is one of the most pro.
ductive known. Shallow lakes always
have more fish than deep ones, chiefly,
perhaps, because there is more vege-
tatioR on the bottom Of the shallow
one.

Gotta, SaXony, has adopted an odd
method of enforcing the payment Of
delinquent taxes. A printed list Of the
names of the delinquents is hung in
every restaurant and drinking place
in the town, and those who are on it
can get neither meat nor drink at
these places, as the owners are under
penalty OF loss of license.

He wasn't "in love" when he enlist
ed, but he had her picture and his
mothers, and by natural process of
longing for home he developed quite a
fierce and yearning passion for Tfllie.
A hundred times he began a letter to
her, but he never had the nerve to
send 1t. He cut her initials on trees,
fences and tent poles and wrote her
name dozen times on every scrap Of
paper that he could find. He sang it,,
spelled 1t and whistled it till his soul
was in fine frenzy, and he knew by
heart the long speech of proposal that
he meant to whisper into her little pink
ear the first time he could get her
alone in the swing or on the narrow
seat of dads spring wagon.
So when Tom got back to Manila
and Irregular mails" he was stirred by
an unreasonable hope that there would
be at least one letter from Nillie. He
was disappointed but not disheartened
to find nothing but three old missives
from his mother, in which there was
not word of his hearts delight and
volume OF motheriy advice about the
care he should take OF himself, the
things he should eat and drink, the
comrades he should avoid and the
prayers he should say. Her latest let
ter was full of the "time they would
give him. when he got home, and it
concluded with the hint of great
surprise" that was in store for him.
OF course, that put new zest into his
"honing for home" and his hatred for
the army rose in proportion.

A thousand dreams to earth have come

A thousand forms, by fear or fancy drawn,
Like shapes OF night have faded from the

A thousand creeds have held their sway

A thousand gods have reigned their little

Like worn-out toys they now are cast

The rubbish of the ages left behind.

A I thousand lofty sentiments expressed,
To those who heard them seeming of the
best,
Are now forgotten or theme for jest.
A thousand books on memory have laid
claim,
A thousand authors through them sought
for fame;
To us there scarce remains single name.
The winnower of the ages thrashes o'er
The harvest of a generations lore;
One grain is gathered from the thrashing
floor,
The rest as empty chaff, aside is cast.
Oblivion's refuse, gathering thick and fast,
Chokes all the gates and highways of the
past.
Religions, dreams and empires all have
gone,
Like shapes of night that vanish from the
dawn,
While. through the ages earth went roll

modern enterprise, Work has been in

years, and the heaviest part of the con.

the Andes in the face of difficulties,
which the engineers regarded as almost
insurmountable. The daring and skill
of this piece Of engineering are not

Some of the phenomena attending
the destruction of ST. Pierre have beer
difficult to explain, specially the
sheet of flame that seems to have ac-
companied or closely followed the vio-
lent explosion of gas. Prof. Verrill, OF
Yale, states his view to be that the
heat is sufficient to cause the dissocia-
ton of hydrogen and oxygen from
water coming suddenly into contact
with the lava in the crater, and that
in the case of sea water, chlorine
would be ASSOCIATED from sodium
These gases suddenly elected with
great violence and exploding in the
air above the crater would produce
the effects manifested on SO great a
scale at Martinique. The people were
killed by the sudden explosion of a
vast volume of hydrogen and oxygen;
and this accounts for the sudden burn
ing of flesh, and clothes, as well as of
buildings and of vessels in the road
stead. The chlorine combining with
some of the hydrogen would produce
hydrochloric acid, which is poisonous
and suffocating, and would quickly kill
all those not destroyed by the first ex-
plosion.-N Y. Sun.

LABELED WHILE YOU WAIT.
Hotel, Railroad and Steamship
Cards to Show Travel.

In this city an enterprising individ-
ual finds a brisk trade in furnishing
labels for travellers trunks and va
Uses, so that when piece of baggage
is finally turned out of his shopits own
er has apparently indisputable docu-
mentary evidence that he has toured
the world or such part of it as may
have seemed fit. The convenience of
this method of travel, it will be seen
at glance. fits in very well with the
American idea of saving time, while
as for money, it, of course, saves large
Jumps, says the Philadelphia Press.
While cheap enough, however, this
method of travel is not without some
slight expense. The labels must be
we'll paid for, because the Iabeler will
tell you that all his wares are genu-
inc, and it is no easy thing to get such
little pieces of printing from far-away
hotels, railroad stations, and steam
boat offices, and you see at once that
he is right. Indeed, if you have any
of the sophistication that travel ought
to give you, you will suspect that many
of the labels offered you are made on
the spot, and you have an uncomfort-
able feeling in being passed for an
entire route that some of the hotels
named on the labels do not exist, or
that their locations may have got
mixed in way to confound you some
time when you may be at the very
best point in your Renaissance. This
suspicion is rather increased by the
curious fact that tour of Cuba costs
more than a less popular tour of the
same extent in Europe, and you won
der if it is not because the Cuban
labels are too well known to be bogus.
How such trade is advertised or
made known to patrons is one of its
curiosities. Most tradesmen are more
or less widely advertised through be-
ing recommended to, others by pa
irons who have been satisfied with the
work done, but it is not to be sup
posed that a traveller by label would
care to tell his friends anything about
it, or to serve as references; IN fact,
silence on the part of the agent is
one of the things you buy along with
the label. The agent, therefore, has
to drum up his own trade, and in doing
so must needs exercise some discre-
ton. He has to take the same sort of
chance as the vender of green goods"
though, of course, his business is
not against the law-and he does it by
quietly calling on people who he thinks
might like to be customers, and
explaining that if they happen to have
lost label or two during their last
tour he is able to supply it. The GU
rious offer gets him a hearing, and
by the time he has explained his plan
and its capabilities the temptation to
go on tour by label is Laid before the
victim in its most alluring form.

MOST ANCIENT OF CROWNS.
The Iron Crown of LOmbardy, Which
Is Said to Contain n Nail from
the SayiOr's Cross.

Among the crowns preserving the
ancient form more than any others
now worn is the so-called iron crown
of Lombardy, which is the most treas
ured national possession of the Italian
kingdom, says an article by the Duke
of Argyle, in Leslie's Monthly. It is
of golden plaques" or panels rather
longer than they are high, but small
in size, so as not to rise above the top
of the head. They form, indeed, only
a iointed band of foliaged, embossed
relief-work, and one narrow wire of
iron binds them together IN the inside
this wire having the repute of being
hammered out from one Of the nails
of our Saviour's cross. 1t was the en-
largement of these panels in other
crowns which led to the cross-band or
closure" of the crown. Look at the
German crown and the Austrian, both
adaptations of that of the old en-
perors of the Holy Roman Empire"
The 'arch of empire" became the re-
suit in the crown of the necessity for
fastening panels for protection for the
head from any stroke from above de-
iyered in war.

Three dozen business men were VIC

who passed bogus checks made pay
able to Charles Newman and signed
by the Fountain Lumber company,
one of the leading establishments of
Appleton. The checks were printed
expressly for this purpose, having the
name of the supposed maker printed
upon it, as well as the signature of
the president of the lumber company.
The forger in every case made two
