these families are in this respect bet

Senator Hoar in his remarkable

which he pronounced as though it
rhymed with Canada.

DEATH IN THE STREETS.
in New York a. Result of
TFRfHc Accidents.

Waste Of life in America has often been
alluded to, but no illustration is more
striking than the fact that in New York
city during the last year 53S individuals
have been killed in traffic accidents, SAYS
American Medicine. How reckless we
are as to human lives is shown by the
comparative figures for London, where
in a larger city-there have been only
15S deaths in the same way. It is said
that the Merchants Association Of New
York has resolved to pursue reform work
In this matter by all the methods in its
power, especially by such devices as may
prevent the unnecessary number Of ac-
cidents. For instance, the use Of new
fender on trolley cars, which has been
in successful use In Liverpool, England,
is to be encouraged. The reckless speed
ing Of these cars should be stopped. The
fact that trolley accidents are more nu-
merous in Brooklyn than in Manhattan
demonstrates that it Is not congestion
Of trafic alone that is responsible for the
fatalities. Grade crossings Of steam cars
must be abolished, a reform that at once
lessons accidental deaths in a marked
degree.

FoRTY-YEAR CLOCK.
VIII Probably Never Have
TO Wind Again.

A jeweler, calculating that he would
In all probability live about 40 years,
and during that time spend about so
days winding the house clock-allow-
ing two minutes each day for the task
decided that he would make a clock
which would need winding but once dur
ing that period. He spent his odd min
utes at the task, and has succeeded in
producing a clock which is the only one
Of its kind in the world, says the New
York Herald.
This 40-year timepiece is Is inches in
diameter and weighs IS pounds. The
movement is so geared that the barrel
wheel, containing the handspring, re-
wolves only once in PA years. When this
wheel has made Sc revolutions somebody
will have to give the key II turns. The
clock will then be wound up for an
other 40 years. The first wheel from
the barrel wheel crawls around at the
rate Of one turn a year. The dial plate is
six inches in diameter. The movement
is full jeweled. The cork is put in
Dramatically sealed glass case, and It
will work in a vacuum, thus lessening
fraction and preventing the oil from dry
ing.

LITTLE TALES OF KINGS.

King Alfonso is giving his subjects
lessons in agriculture.
Since his throat trouble, Emperor Will
liam has changed his voice, modulatipg
it so as to reduce the pressure on III.
vocal chords. He now speaks in a some
what lower pitch, his throat specialists
having explained to him the theory Of
voice production, which he has prac-
uced with considerable success.
Kink Edward made a fresh manifesto
uou Of his tact and kindness recently
by sending a letter inQuiring as to the
condition Of a member Of parliament
who had undergone an operation for
appendicitis. The king said that as
he had been subjected to a severe opera
ton for the same malady, he had fel-
low feeling for all who had TO endure
similar suffering. His act was the more
noteworthy from the fact that the mem
Der is a prominent representative Of a
party which does not look with favor
on kings or on an aristocracy.
Victor Emmanuel III. Of Italy is one
Of the least kingly among European
rulers. In person homely, awkward in
manner, and exceedingly shy in COM
pany, he thoroughly detests the dreary
tOmfOolery Of court life, though he 10y
ally refrains from Sinking any Of the
duties falling TO his position. He has
no fondness for appearing in military
uniforms, nor does he imagine that he
is an able general simply because on &C.
Casion he has to wear the habiliments
Of soldier. His majesty is very well
read in science and literature, and Is
never so contented as when in the COM
pany Of his wife. His court is the most
democratic in Europe.
