ELECTRIC RAILWAY SPEED.
Numerous Fatalities Engaging tha
Attention OF Authorities In
Some states.

The regulation OF speed on the cleo
trio railways in the countryside is en-
gaging the attention of authorities in
some OF the states, says the Philadel-
phil Ledger. The fatalities occurring
on these lines are due principally to
grade crossings and to the immoder-
ate speed OF the cars in descending
hills. The rapidly with which trolley
cars may be run is subject to local
regulation. 1t is not recalled that
there are any general acts touching
the matter In force anywhere, tn ough
caution in the management Of cleo
trio street car lines has been urged
upon the companies by the state au-
thorities to whom the reports Of steam
and electric railroads are made. The
superintendent of the Pennsylvania
bureau Of railways has in one or more
reports called attention to the reck-
less operation Of street railways in
this state, and advised caution. The
loss Of life chargeable to the electric
roads in 1902 in the United States is
great, relatively, to the casualties on
the steam roads. The deaths from
steam railroad accidents during the
year numbered 3,165, and AIS persons
were killed and 2, l4i seriously injured
In electric car accidents.

BADGER AS A FIREMAN.
The Animal Put Out Blaze as CoOlly
and Skillfu1Iy ms a Person
Would.

A badger, which had made its home
among he granite cliffs, dealt with
the fire god with sagacity and skill.
SAYS Nature. A friend, while paint
ing sea piece, discovered a badgers
lair, and thought to play the animal
a practical joke. Gathering together
a bundle of grass and weeds, he
placed it inside the mouth OF the
hole and, tgniting it with match.
waited for the ignominious fight Of
the astonished householder. But
Master Badger was resourceful an
imal, and not disposed to be made d
butt of practical jokers.
He came up from the depths OF his
hole as soon as the penetrating
smoke told him that there was fire
on the premises, and deliberately
scratched earth on the burning grass
with his strong claws until all dan
ger was past. No human skill could
have grasped the situation more
quickly, or displayed greater skill in
dealing with an unfamiliar event.

J. c. Langerman, United States

In an interview, says q report to the

warning. spent six weeks with the

leave Fee. The sultan's policy is to
capture the pretender. If caught he
will exhibit him throughout the
country in cage. 1t would be OF no
use to kill him, for the people would
not believe him dead. The pretender
recruits his fanatical following by
promising to kill all foreign devils
when he becomes sultan. The pres.
ent sultan showed me places in his
palace where captives were walled In
alive. The Moroccans are the most
fanatical people in the world.

INCUBATED DUCKS.
Thev Arc Very Timid aad Lights Are
burned All Night for
Then.

The difference between an incuDateo
chicken and a duckling brought into
| the world in the same artificial way
Is very noticeable. The chicken will
strut into the open with all the small
amount of strength at its command,
and look about as II it thought the
world ought to be amazed at seeing
such a pretty creature, says the Gin
einnati Enquirer. The duckling, on
the contrary will give one glance out
of the hole, and then run back into
the darkest corner and try to hide
itself.
When placed in the runs destined
for them, the ducks are scared at the
least thing; any strange noise will
cause them to huddle together in the
farthest corner, piling themselves one
on the other three or four deep; the
result is death to some and injury to
many more.
A duck loses weight every time 1t Is
frightened, so that breeders are care
ful not to disturb them. Such a cow
ard Is the incubated duck that it be-
comes necessary to burn a light all
night; II left in the dark, the vivid
Imagination Of the creature will con-
jure up all kinds Of things to get
frightened at, and consequently it is
more profitable to burn light.
An incubated chicken IL sometimes
placed with the ducks to show them
how TO look after themselves.

DAINTIES OF THE DUTCH.
Their Cheese IL Held In High Est can

Abroad.

De Amicis, who has written so de-
lightfully Of Holland, justly praises
the Dutch cheese, Wherein" he says,
when once you have thrust your
knife you can never leave off until you
have excavated the whole, while de-
sire still hovers over the shell" New
ertheless, the visitor to Holland will do
well not to Let his enthusiasm run to
these depths, says Youths Companion.
The author Of Holland and the Hol-
landers" declares that a Dutch hostess
must have her cheese cut straight,
"Whoso cuts my cheese like boat,
him l send out Of my house" is an old
saying.
The Dutch are a people of simple
joys. Things to eat and things to drink
accompany the expression of their
many "felicitaties." They congratulate
you when your second cousin publishes
a novel or when your niece's baby is
shortened" or on your own birthday
and half a dozen other events you
would rather not remember; and
births and betrothals, marriages, an
upward stepin life, promotion to uni
verSity degree all have their little
feasts and particular ceremonies.
They cultivate simple joys. At their
dinner-partiesy you have excellent cook
ing, excellent wine, fine old silver and
ware, and ancient-visaged walters in
white cotton gloves with loose finger
tips; but the guests do not dress for
dinner, and when they rise from the
table they carry away with them
sweets or bonbons for the children at
home.
This kindly habit Of carrying home
to the children some memento of an
outing in which they have not shared
may account for the extraordinary
number of local CONNECTIONS and sweets
that have reputation all over the
country

The history Of railroading in the
Rocky mountains and in the northwest
is the history of snow-fghting as well
as Of engineering, bridge building and
tunneling. The snow begins early in
those high attitudes. The railways
lie often between sheer mountain
walls. The windsor the plains
sometimes friendly as well as some
times hostile, for they som etimes clear
the track--are here all hostile. They
can only blow the snow along the
tracks. Down the mountain sides the
first hint OF warmth in the late win
ter sends the released snow to block
all possibility of traffic. Not merely
the drift, but the avalanche, must be
fought, The ways in which the snow

NEWSPAPERS IN COLLEGES.
style Of journalism Peculiar ia
American Universities That
support Dailies.

There are IA colleges in the United
States which publish a newspaper
every weekday. College journalism
is peculiar to America, as in no other
country in the world is such work
undertaken, says the Princetonian.
Three Of these papers have become
dailies this fall-the Columbia Spec
tator. the Daily Maroon, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, and the Indiana
University Daily. The Harvard Echo,
which was started in 1879, was the
first college newspaper to be pub
lished daily. Later it was merged
with the Weekly Crimson under the
latter's name. About the same time,
at New Haven, the Yale Daily News
was started. In 1880 the Cornell
Daily Sun appeared, and some time
later the Princetonian, organized in
1876, became a daily. Pennsylvania
was the fifth college to publish a
newspaper every day, and started the
Pennsylvanian in 1885, it later be-
coming daily. In 1901 the Brown
Daily Herald was started at Brown
university. The western daily col
lege papers are as follows: At the
University Of California, the Cali

THE SILHOUETTE TARGET.
II Il NOt Considered SO Good a. tn {
Round BulPs-EYe In the
Army,

A number OF years ago many ex-
pert rifemen arrived at the conclu-
sion that for target practice there was
nothing so good and equitable as a
round bull's-eye. Various forms of
bullseyes had been tried before
reaching this decision. 1t was with
no little regret in 1885 that the an
nouncement was received that the
army would discontinue the use of the
round bull's-eye and thereafter would
use an elliptical bull's-eye. A commit
tee of the National Rife association
visited the secretary Of war and urged
that the round bull's-eye be retained
for the army, but as the elliptical
bull's-eye had been adopted, the com.
mittee was informed that no change
could be made at that time, says
Shooting and Fishing.
Following the elliptical bull's-eye
silhouette figures were introduced
for rifle practice in the United States
army. These figures are of undoubted
value, but they serve their purpose
best in skirmsh firing. For the train
ing Of the regulars of the army and
the volunteers as expert rifle shots, the
form of target with the round bulls,
eye is undoubtedly superior to all 9TH
ers. This, we understand, is the opin-
ion OF most regular army officers and
volunteers to-day, and we hear that
the board of United States army Off
GERS revising the firing regulations for
small arms practice will return to the
National Rifle association target with
u round bull's-eye for qualification OF
the army.
Weregard this as most fortunate. The
new lines Of the National Rifle associa-
ton target now agree with those OF
the British National Rife association,
and with the adoption of the same
target by the United States army we
are likely to have a higher order of
skill developed and better under
standing of the work Of rifemen ct
home and abroad.

PASSING OF THE BEARD.
Since the Early Fifties 1t Has Heen
the Exception Rather Than the
Rule In Am erica.

Nothing is presently palmer In 9
world that loves it's little mysteries
and likes to keep the observer in a
state Of tremulous suspense about
good many things, than the fact that
it is beginning to shave again, says
Harper's Weekly. 1t has always
shaved, more or less, ever since
boards came in some SO years ago,
after q Punishment OF nearly two
centuries from at least the Anglo
Saxon face. During all the time
since the early '5O's the full beard
has been the exception rather than
the rule. The razor has not been
suffered to rust in disuse, but has
been employed in disfguring most
physiognomies in obedience to the
prevalent fashion or the personal
caprice of the wearers of hair upon
the face, where nature has put II
for reasons still of her own.
For one man who let nature have
her way unquestioned by the steel
there have been 90 men who have
modlned her design. oone nave
shaved all but a little spot on the
under lip; others have continued the
imperial grown there into the point
ed goatee; Others have worn the chin
beard, square cut from the corners
of the lips, which has become in
the alien Imagination distinctively
the American beard; others have
shaved the chin and let the mustachc
branch across the cheeks to meet the
flowing fringe of the side-whiskers;
others have shaved all but the
wbiskers shaped to the likeness of a
mutton chop; the most OF all have
shaved the whole face except the up
per lip and worn the mustache alone.
All these fragmentary forms OF
beard caricatured the human counte-
nance and reduced it more or less to
a ridiculous burlesque of the honest
visages of various sorts of animals.
They robbed it of the sincerity which
is the redeeming virtue of the clean
shavensface and of the dignity which
the full beard impaired no less to
middle life than to age.

POINTS ABOUT FLOWERS.
Kew to Preserve, Blossoms for b,
Duets and Vases when They
Como High.

From an authoritative source CO
the following directions for prese
ing cut flowers, which may prove
interest at this season, when
flowers must be included in the ]
Of Injuries, says the Brooklyn Gag
II the flowers are tied up in
bunch they should be united and
tiny piece cut of the end OF ca
stem with q sharp knife-not wi
scissors, as the object is to keep t
poses Of the stem open, and this
only be done by its being cut with
very sharp instrument, and one tn
does not crush in the cutting. L
vase to be used must be perfect
clean. To have q thing really clea
chemically clean, means the use
very hot water for washing it o,
and also of small quantity of son
purifying addition, such as, in Il
case of flower vase, a very fe
drops OF ammonia, afterward rinsiI
with fresh plain water.
Having a perfectly clean vase, IL
florists consider that it is best f,
the bouquet to be arranged as it
to be left before any water is put
In this way the flowers can be
moved and returned until a satisfa
tory result is obtained, without drol
of water being split or the hand
soiled. In order to preserve the fov
ers little piece of charcoal can I
put in the bottom Of the vase, pre-
vided it be not of glass. This can L
used over and over again, and if tn
water is kept constantly changed tn
charcoal then absorbs its impuritie
without being itself rendered vi
wholesome; but should the vase a
any time be accidentally left for tw
or three days, SO that the water bt
comes at all malodorous, the charcos
needs to be purified by being place
IN saucepan for a few moment.
When charcoal cannot be used, be
cause 1t would be visible through tn
clear glass of the vase, a pinch O
borax should be put in the water In
stead. When the latter is used, O
course it needs to be put in each tim
that the water is changed, but tn
charcoal can be left day after da,
the water being poured of withou
disarranging the vase, and fres
water poured in, not icy cold in wiz
ter, but slightly unchilled.
