A Record Year.

Though the first half of 1907 has
not passed, its record of casualty al
ready exceeds the total of 1906. There
have been thirty-eight railroad acci-
dents of more than ordinary magni-
tude, in which 273 persons have been
killed and 925 injured.
Twenty-three steamers have been
wrecked, involving the loss OF 902
lives.
There have been thirteen mine acct
dents in which 355 persons have per-
ished.
These casualties have been due to
human negligence or ignorance in
large part, but nature has been de-
structive also. Tidal waves have
swept away 2240, earthquakes 800,
hurricanes $50, cyclones thus far
seventy.
The cloud has silver lining, how
ever. The total of gifts and bequests
in all forms of philanthropy in less
than six months of 1907 is larger than
the total for the twelve months OF
1906, being s1OS,961, ,5S9, as compared
with $106,2Sl ,0S3. And never have
there been five months during the last
twenty-five years in which the total
embeZzlement and various forms OF
defalcation has been as small as In
the first five months of 1907.-Chicagc

Dominie's Little Joke.

The Rev. DR.. William n. FisburD,
pastor OF the First Presbyterian
Church, Camden. is one OF the jolliest
and most sur hiny men in the world
and likes nothing better than a good =,
wholesome Joke, even IL IL is turned
against himself He was visited in
his home on last ST. Patrick's Day by
a prosperous-looking couple who de-
sired his kindly Office in making
them one. The man was an iron
master from Pittsburg and the BRIDE
elect was a Jersey woman. The busi-
ness was quickly dispatched and the
happy bridegroom came to the ques-
ton so many in like fix ask the cler-
gyman. Just suit yourself as TO
that" said DR.. Fisburn, as his eyes
rested upon a thick roll OF bills the
ironmaster had dug out Of his trou-
sers' pocket. We'll" said the newly
made husband, "as this is the seven
teenth of March, I'll make IL seven
teen dollars, and good luck TO you"

Didn't Know the Cipher.

The inability TO read cipher once
cost notable of France his head.
When the Chevalier de Rohan was in
the Bastille his friends, wishing TO let
him know that his accomplice had
died without confessing, passed the
following cipher, written on a shirt.
into his dungeon: 'Mg dulhxessigu CHI
yxuj; I'm ct ulge ali" The cipher
was not difficult one, being arranged
by complete transposition of the al
phabet, but De Rohan did not have
the clew, and he puzzled over the
meaningless words in vain. A solu-
tion of the riddle meant the guillotine,
but the puzzle was beyond him and
he pleaded guilty because he could
not decipher lie prisonnier est mort;
in ma rien dit"

TREK TO THE UNITED STATES
Europe Migrating Ia This Fair Land

The imagination of Europe has
been kindled by reports of opportun-
ity in the two American continents.

their belongings and went to Para
quay, leaving the town empty. The
Republic OF Paraguay paid for their
transportation. In the country
around Malaga negotiations are un-

| Hawaii. The promise Of free passage,
steady employment, medical attend

a deed to house and an acre, exempt
for three years from taxation, has
| created great excitement in Anda-
lusia.
Louisiana wants labor, and. like
other sugar-cane States, is looking

million pesos to pay the passage of
