raised the question of. the necessity oil

cially of those of fast passenger trains
Recently on the Mobile G. Ohio Rail-

what had happened in time to stop the
train before it ran into the switch en-

was approaching Cleveland, but for

Diet, being supreme in Hungary. The
Army and Navy are in common-that
is, Imperial-but the Landwehr, which
answers to the militia in other coun-
tries, are under the control of their own
officers when called into service The
Hungarians hold Austria in check by
means of what is called the Ausgleich
or the proportion which Hungary shall
pay to the common expenses of the
Empire. Unless the Imperial Diet and
the Emperor accede to their wishes
the Hungarians will not give the usual
amount, and they threaten at times to
give nothing at all. This has led to the
stormy scenes in the Imperial Parlia-
ment, which at length reached such a
pitch as to cause its dissolution.
The Czechs in Bohemia are trying
to play the same game that the Mag
yars have been SO successful in, but
they lack the numerical strength as
we'll as the Intellectual capacity of their
Magyar neighbors. The next step is to
try to bring all the Slavic provinces into
coalition upon the Pan-Slav platform
and make their numerical preponder-
ance felt, or as it has been said, crush
both Germans and Magyars under mere
weight of numbers. 1t was this which
made the Germans SO disinclined to ac-

Hungarians were treated with eheyInosr

the troubles. The punishment5 inflicted
upon Magyar men and women were
such as to shock the civilized world, and
make the name of the Austrian Govern

time, and when in 1866 Austria came
into collision with Prussia they held
aloof, and saw the Germans crushed un-
der the iron heel of Bismarck Then
a compromise was agreed upon by
which Hungary was made absolutely
equal with Austria, absolutely self-goy-

Painting m Old brick Wall.

The first thing to do is to get every
particle of loose stuff from the walls,
which may be done with a coarse fiber
brush; then dust off clean. If you have
a lot of old paint and enough to do the
job thin 1t down with Oil and a little
benzine, strain and apply quite thin to
the wall, says Master Painter. Brush
this well into the surface, and let II
have several days to become hard. The
next coat should be a lead paint, OF
fresh materials, with raw oil and just
enough driers TO dry it well in reason

a good foundation for whatever color

Sink Ship to Save 1t.

To sink ship, and that by means Of
a submarine torpedo, in order to save
IL, is one of the strangest of marine
experiences; yet that is precisely what
happened to the Canada in the harbor
of Oran. Algeria.
The vessel, which flies the English
flag, with a valuable cargo on board,
caught fire. In spite of the efforts of
crew and tugs it was found impossible
to subdue the flames. A destroyer tow
ed the ship to a safe place and fired a
torpedo under the water line. The
vessel sank in comparatively shallow
water, which. Of course, instantly put
out the fire, and she was then repaired
and raised.
