New Austrian Railway.

Hitherto tourists from the United States who chose the southern trip to Europe left the steamer at Gibraltar or Naples, but many, chiefly those who had already been in Italy, now come to Trieste and continue from here their voyage by the new Aus trian railway. There can hardly be a more beautiful country than the regions which are made accessible by this new Transalpine railroad The new railway is owned by the state and is 130 miles long. There are AS tunnels, with total length of ten miles. There are 50 bridges. one oi which, across the river lzonzo, has the longest stone span in the world There are, besides, as many as 6fc smaller bridges and viaducts.-Con spiar Reports.

TOOK HIS BRIDES SURNAME.

Dr. Anna R. Copelan was mar ricd to Mr. Abraham Erott Cope Ian, formerly Mr. Abraham Erott, in the parsonage of Rev. Dr. H. w.. Schneeberger the other day after a peculiar romance, says the Balti- more Sun. Instead of the bride changing her name, it was vice versa, the man charging his name.
 Dr. Copelan was graduated from the Maryland university four years ago, and in the meantime has built up a practice in her neighborhood. Not wishing to lose any of her prac- tice by changing her name when she married MT. Erott, who is a student in the dental department of the Maryland university, they decided that the best thing to do was to have the court change his last name to Copelan.

ORIGIN OF SINGLE COMBAT.

Just when and where the first a1faire de'honneur took place is not known, and obviously cannot ever be known, says a'writer in the Gen. tury. Homer makes frequent refer ence to single combat, and the story of David and Goliath is only added biblical testimony that duels were known to the early Hebrews and other ancient Asiatics, as they were known to the Arabs at the time of Mohammed. It remained, however, for the barbarians who overran the Roman empire to apply the first touch of poetry to what had pre- viously been mere brutal conflicts, for they conceived the idea that a wager of battle was an appeal to the decision of the gods and that success was a proof of right.

TWO MINUTES SOON PASSED
Persistent Woman Gained Little by Her Interview with Robert
 Louis Stevenson.

A number of years ago some- what sensational journalist was making a flying trip round the world for her newspaper. She stopped in San Francisco. Among other assignments for her brief stay there was a visit to Robert Louis Stevenson, who was then living in that city.
 Calling at his home she was told that he was too i'll to see any one that day. She wrote him an ap- pealing little note on the back of her card, explaining that her sched- ule would not permit her to remain over to see him later, and that as an interview with him was one of the chief objects of breaking her jour ney in California, she begged for at least two minutes conversation.
 Permission was granted for her to ascend to his room, and when she saw him propped up in bed with pillows, looking pitifully white and frail, she was much shocked and re- gretted her persistence. For once her usual assurance deserted her and she stood silent and shy before the writer.
 Stevenson, too, seemed at a loss, and after a moment or two of em- barrassed silence, during which his hands were fumbling beneath the counterpane, he drew forth an un- finished woolen stocking, and be- ginning feverishly to push the steel needles in and out, he asked:
 Do you knit ?"
 "No," answered the reporter, and Slancing at the mantel clock she realized with chagrin that the in- terview was ended.-Youth's Com| panion.

The Breakers to Remain Closed.

Word comes from abroad that Mrs Vanderbilt is to take a large estate near London, and that the Breakers will not be open this season in New port.
 This will be the second summer that this magnificent estate has been closed and it means a social as well as financial loss to the place.
 To the gossips of the smart set it means that something attractive is keeping Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter on the other side of the At something that draws like lodestone.
 No longer is Robert Goelet's name heard in connection with the hand of Miss Vanderbilt, and we are at our wits end to know just who the lucky Johnny is.-New York American.

explosive composition from burning the hand; then a charge of gunpow- der, and on top of this are placed the colored stars in the proper sequence of color On top of this comes com- position called fuse, which makes the intervals between the discharge of the stars. After the fuse rammers are brought down to pack the material, the operation being repeated as often as required. The candles contain from two to 35 stars. The finishing con- sists of covering the candle and pro- viding a quick match for easy igni- tion.
 Quick match, one of the important features of fireworks manufacture, is made from specially prepared wick soaked in a solution of gunpowder. At the proper time it is wound off on frames and just before 1t is dried it is sifted over with very fine powder in order to make it extra quick in action. It is then cut in lengths of about six feet and worked into what is known as match paper, after which it IS placed in manila paper cases ana joined together. Fire at one end of quick match leaps to the other and al most as quickly as would electricity. The quick match is fitted out on what are known as lances, or rods of bam- boo. For set pieces the design Is sketched by an artist and then scaled so it can be enlarged to any size The regulation set piece frame is 10X5 feet and is divided into squares foot large. The design is outlined in rat tan, pegs are driven into the rattan and on these pegs are fastened the quick match lances referred to.
 Sulphur, saltpeter and charcoal en' ter largely into the manufacture of fireworks and for particularly brilliant effects steel and iron filings are added

Tn a small church in one of the min ing towns of Pennsylvania was pull pit both antique and unique. It was about the size and shape of flour barrel. was elevated from the floor about four feet and was fastened to the wall The ascent was by narrow winding steps.
 A minister from neighboring town, a man of great vigor and vehemence, preached there one Sunday. While preaching he bent forward and shout ed out with great force the words of his text:
 "The righteous shall stand, but the wicked shall fall"
 Just as these words escaped from his lips, the pulpit broke from its fastening, and he fell out and rolled over on the floor before his congre- gation. In an instant he was on his feet again and said:

Aunt Chloe was the best cook in Norfolk, but she belonged to a funeral society which compelled its members to attend the funeral of each one who died, or else pay fine of dollar. One week she had been to two and asked permission for the third.
