cidens, that is not wholly explained.
The boz is Frank Malno. six years

A POETS SELECTION.
Markham ON the Greatest Passage In
English Literature.


To ask for the one most justly cele-
brated passage in English prose litera-
ture Is like asking for the one most
justly celebrated sort of fruit in the
orchard. There are easily score Of
equally worthy passages, each one max
Ing Its especial appeal to a different
mood of the mind.
Ruskin's description of Turner's
slave ship satisfies our love for the ma
jestic color and motion of the sea.
De Quincey's reverie on the nebula in
Orion carries a sense of the vastness
and mystery of the sky. Pater's pic
turing of the shield of Hercules re-
builds for us the light and life of
buried Hellas. Swinburne's euIogy of
RosSetti astounds us with the splendor
and speed of his words LIE Gallienne's
prose fancy, 1.-The Twelve Wells" stirs
our hearts with the precious disquiet of
old sorrows. Victor Hugos grafton in
The Man Who Laughs awakens in
us the ennobling passion of humanity.
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech bushes the
soul with its fine appeal to the heroic
in the heart of man.
/ might go on to mention Emerson.
Poe, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Lake Har-
ris, Jeremy Taylor as we'll as st. Mat
thew. St John, Isaiah, Job and other
peers in the parliament of words.
but content myself with making the
one selection that is perhaps my IA
vorite in most of my moods 1 refer
to that stately and sonorous passage
from Carlyle's ''Sartor Resartus"
where he sees history as a stupendous
procession forth-issuing from Gimme
rian night and vanishing into pathetic
and fathomless silence. Here is the
passage:
Like some wild flaming, wild thun-
dering train of heavens artillery does
this mysterious mankind thunder and
fame In long drawn, quick succeeding
grandeur through the unknown deep.
Like a God created, fire breathing spir-
it host. we emerge from the inane, haste
then plunge again into the inane.
Earth's mountains are leveled and
her seas filed up in our passage. Can
the earth, which is but dead and 8
vision, resist spirits which have real
ity and are alive? On the hardest ada
mant some footprint of US is stamped
in; the last rear of the host will read
traces of the earliest van. But whence?
o heaven. whittier; Sense knows not,
faith knows not, only that it is through
mystery to mystery, from God to God"

TREMENDOUS COST
OF THE HORROR,

The Atlantic City Press one iay this
week, commenting upon the actual
costs in dollars and cents to the rail
road company. owingito the Atlantic
City tragedy, would aggregate mil
lion and q half OF dollars. A tremen.
dous sum, great fortune for mis-.
take. But the damage, the loss, can
never be recovered from the railroad
company in dollars.
In New Jersey the law provides that
damages can be collected based upon
pecuniary loss In some states there
is law which limits the amount of
recovery tor loss of life to $4,000.
There is no such law in this State.
On train one day this week. a
gentleman in speaking of the accident
said that the damages TO the railroad
company would aggregate $500, 600
Asked how he came 60 this conclusion
he replied that there were sixty killed,
that the damages would be Sc, 600 each,
in all $500 000 Bat this gentleman did
not stop TO Teslizs that upon this train
were men of sreas earning capacity,
men who were taken from their chill.
dren. DR.. Hudders, of Roxboro, Pa.
for instance. q man known here. He
left four children, the youngest 8
months old Is is said that DR.. Hud.
ders had an income from his profes'
sion of $50, coo a.yesr. The pecuniary
loss to this family of children in thus
being robbed of their father, is great.
There were other men of large earn.
ing capacity killed.
Ie will be remembered that there
were some suits for dsmage in the
Cumberland Courts growing ont of the
meadow disaster in 1896, and many
settlements. Is was currently reported
at the time that one settlement made
in the case of the death of a hus band
and wife was tor $50, coo. there being
three children surviving.
Is is also fact that in Pennsyl
vania it has been the rule for juries
to give damages in larger amounts
than in New Jersey. and is is practi.
cslly certain that nearly all of the
suits growing out of this bridge horror
will be brought in Philadeiphia, tie
large majority of the victims being
from that city.
A careful estimate of the damage
made yesterday by a gentleman who
has had some experience in the mat
tsr, placed the sum tSat the Pennsyl.
vania railroad company would be
called upon TO pay, in excess of a half
million of dollars. a big price as com.
pared with the cost of usual precau.
tions against such accidents. guard

equipments.

Beef Ten For the Aged.

1 have often had occasion to protest
against the widely Rugged delusion of
beef tea being a highly nutritious food.
AS have stated, it is stimulant and
has the objectionable quality of render
ing the bowels lax. In old age there
is an opposite natural tendency-at
least, that is the rule. When this rule
obtains and there is weakness we shall
find in strong beef tea most valuable
medicine. But do not commit the mis-
take of regarding the stuff as food,
says Home Notes. 1t will 50 stimulate
the body that food can be taken: it viii
so stimulate it that the person win
feel better. but it is making him live on
his vital capital Beef tea is no more
nourishing than brandy.

The Word .Sinister >.

OF sinister a writer says: How
charged, since the time of the Romans,
is this simple word with dubious
things. with suggestions that are ever
terrible! 1t seems to convey the vague
threat of dreams-the threat that is
something worse than the clear menace
of trouble'in waking hours. Man want
ed a word for such terrors and took
the mere name of the left hand. This
would serve as well as another, seeing
that all words which we have filed
with mental emotions had a grossly
material beginning. as bitter and
sweet. Emerson says that all lam
guage is fossil poetry, but the reverse
is rue-human language has grown
into poetry and has come to life with
time"

DEMAND FOR
EARLIER TRAIN.

Postm sster Henry Graham has for
two years been endesvoring TO get an
early morning mail train for Bridge
ton, and ne has had the approval
of the pastai officials in his efforts.
When the recent electric schedule
was being arranged by the Pennsyl.
vsnia Railroad. 1t was understood that
Bridgeton would have a newspaper
and mail train that would arrive here
at 6. so O'Clock in the morning For
some reason the train was not ar.
ranged for
Nov another schedule is being made
mp for the West jersey system. Ii is
understood that it will be possible to
have an earlier train here if the peo
pie show any interest in the matter
Ii is a matter of some interest to a
community, this having mail for the
benefit of the business men, arrive
here an hour and half earlier than
now, the same train bringing with it
the morning papers.
The present mail on the first train
in does not reach the station much
before o'clock The train Is sche.
duIed earlier. but it is side tracked to
keep out of the way of ont going
trains, and is always late. Business
men who are interests in the matter
should at once take up the matter and
let it be known to the railroad Off
cials tnat an earlier train is demanded.
II that will get it, the effcre is not a
very great one The convenience and
advantage of the train would be very
considerable.

PRACTICAL PICTURES.
odd ParIor Ornaments and - Very
Substantial Dinner.

Substantial Dinner.
There is practical minded million
aire who has invented a substitute for
valuable pictures which it is hoped will
not commend itself to others. He has
had a large number of bank notes
framed, and these are hung upon the
wall where the pictures should be,
In the drawing room Is one frame
that contains bank note for f100, 900,
and he says: There is the money in
case find picture which is sufficient
ly valuable to pay that price for It,
Meanwhile the note tells its own tale
and saves me from explaining to my
visitors that this picture cost so much
as most other rich men do.
''The chief pleasure of these collectors
appears to arise not from the beauty of
the work. but from the cost of it; then
why not have checks or bank notes for
a large sum hung on the walls, as 1 do?
Besides, | find that it is much more in
teresting TO my visitors, for most of
them look long and carefully at the
bank notes who would but glance at
the work of art"
This eccentric man gave dinner on
the same principle. In the soup plates
there was no soup, but sovereigns; for
fish We're served fiye-pound notes, for
game checks and for sweets shares in
thriving company, and there was not
guest who did not enjoy this enter
tainment more than any he or she had
ever before been present at-London

There is true story of one young
woman who had devoted almost a
year to pulling wires and using all
possible influence to gain an interview

ushered into the managers private Of

The first place Of worship in Western
Australia was unique in two respects
the materials of which it was built
and also the several purposes to which
it was devoted. This remarkable build
