REVERENCE.

Reverence, says the Milwau.
kee Journal, is a quality sadly
lacking in the youth of to-day. -
There is prevailing an exaggera,
ted idea of the "I'm as good as
anybody, b'gosh" sentiment. So
you are "as good as anybody"
son, If you make yourself so.-
But, being as good as anybody,
you will not need to thrust that
information on any one. Nor will
you need to despise others. If
you are really worthy respect,
you Will not have TO make an eff
fort to exact respect. And it is
mistake to imagine that treat.
ing others with lack of respect
elevates yourself. Respect will
be paid to real worth by those
whose opinions are worth the
while. If your goodness does not
meet appreciation by people OF
worthy character, there is some
thing the matter with your good
ness. 1t would be well to make
personal inquiry and locate the
trouble.
The habit of treating sacred
subjects with levity is bad one
1t kills reverence in our hearts
and thus lowers our standards o
goodness. We need to uourisl
high ideals of right, of goodness
of holiness, or our characters ar,
degraded. When reverence goe.
out greed, seltishness and inhu
manity come in. Besides thu
wrong done TO our own natur,
when we fail 10 reverence thing,
held sacred, we do a grievou,
wrong TO others. tits evil enough
TO lower our own standard O
right, but when we cloud th,
sense Of purity, OF sacredness, II
others it is doubly wrong. Ifw
fail in ourselves to keep som
ideal holy for our aspirations, le
us not drag the ideal of others /
the dust under our feet.

Gold Dollars at a Premium.

The United States gold dollar is
so scarce that dealers in old and
rare coins are advertising every
where for them, offering from $1.50
TO $3 apiece for as many as they
can get. Since 1889 the United
States mints have not coined any
gold dollars. Since then their value
has increased steadily. In the mint
in Philadelphia, where the dies for
all United States currency are
made, reporter for the Philadel-
phia Times was told the present
value of the gold dollars Of 1889.
Those marked c Carson City, are
worth from $1.75 to $3.50; those
marked d (Denver) are worth from
So to $3.50; those marked S (San
Francisco) are worth from So to
SO, and those without any mark,
indicating that they were minted in
Philadelphia, are worth from $3.50
to $1.70.

FINGER Nails as Assets.

A Viennese jury has just put a
valuation on finger nails. An artist
named Franz Muller was the proud
possessor of set much admired for
their beauty, which so excited the
jealousy of rival that he man
aged to break one of them. Muller
promptly brought suit for damages,
and he has been awarded 1000
crowns, the equivalent of 5000 in

Robert Womack, the discoverer Of
Cripple Creek, was cowboy and
stumbled on the rich deposits in
January, 1891. The year of its first
exploitation the Cripple Creek field
produced 100000 in gold. Last
year its output was $23,000,000.
Womack is no richer for his discov-
cry. He sold out his claim early and
spent the money in true cowboy
style, but he is said to have no regret
for the wealth that might have been
his. -.

A Great Awnlnu.

BY walking down Prospect street,
Cleveland, o., one can enjoy the
shade of the longest awning in the
world, so far as is known. This
great awning is 15G feet long, is all
in one piece from end to end and the
iron frame on which it is stretched
is operated by mechanism that
makes it possible for one man to
raise or lower the whole immense
stretch Of canvas ut once.

THE SAFEST CARS,

(Which car is the safest one to
occupy in a railroad wreck z" is a
question that has received much
consideration at the hands of
trayelers, says the Cleveland
Leader.
The recent railroad wreck on
the G., and Trunk in Canada, in
which twenty to thirty persons
were killed, has caused a revival
of the discussion, especially in
this vicinity, where railroad
wrecks have occurred with alarm
ing frequency during the last
year.
Railroad men are among those
who discuss this question SER
iously. This problem to all in,
tents and purposes was solved by
them long ago. When a railroad
superintendent hears the mere
report of wreck, he can tell, if
he knows the makeup OF a tram
and whether it was head.on or
rear end collision, which of the
cars received the brunt of the
shock.
Railroad wrecks in the neigh.
borhood of Cleveland are usually
of the rear end collision or head.
on collision variety,and in no case
in the last decade have the casual
ties been heavy. Another kind
of wreck is caused by the spread
ing of the rails. There have been
three or four of these near Cleve-
land within the last two years.
'As a general principle, it is
safe to stick to the Pullman cars"
is the advice of an old railroader.
"and if there are no Pullmans on
the train, size up the cars and try
to occupy the heaviest of them.
Whatever you do, keep out of the
smoker"
There are good and sufficient
reasons for this advice. The
smoker on train, to begin with,
is the lightest Of all the cars, as a
rule, and is generally at the for.
ward end of the train. If the
baggage Car happens to be heavi-
ly loaded the smoker is pinched
between two heavy sections, and
Offering the least resistance, is
reduced to kindling wood.
The car that receives the rough
est treatment in a wreck, how
ever, is the mail or baggage car
Unless this car is extraordinarily
heavy, it is bound to suffer. In
every wreck that has taken place
near this city during the last two
years the baggage car has borne
the brunt of the shock, and has
been the most dangerous car in
the train. In the recent Erie
wreck at Union street great holes
were punched through the bot
tom of the car, it was divested of
it's truck. and was so badly shat.
tered that the trunks and boxes
inside were scattered around the
wreck. The other cars were not
damaged much, with the excep.
tions of some badly smashed win.
