Railroad Men Modest as Brave.

The histories of the modern rail.
roads are replete with tales. fascinat-
ing and thrilling as they are, of the
deeds of valor performed by the
knights of the rail. and scarcely a
month passes but we are told har.
rowing. pathetic tales of great dis.
asters on the road. Invariably in
reading the accounts of these events
we involuntarily scan the printed
lines to learn the fates of the crews
in the engines.
Railroad trainmen, like soldiers and,
in fact. all brave men, are modest. II
is only with extreme difficulty that
they are led to recount the deeds of
their fellows. 1t seems to be a fore
gone conclusion with them that each
time they pull out their trains they
may W return. This trip might
be the last.

There is a legend in japan hat tho
theater had its origin I'm that countr
in the ninth century by reason Of an
earthquake which took place in the
province of Yamato. A large crevice
was formed by reason of the no
heaval. and from which emanated
poisonous Vapors which spread death
and destruction all around. An awful
scourge was the result. until the
priest conceived the idea of perform
ing a symbols dance of Incarnation
on a grass-covered hill outside the
temple. AS If by magic the death
vapors vanished and peace and happi-
ness were restored to the country.
The legend concludes that this is how
Japanese acting originated. The JAP
anese word for ~"theater," Shibai- va.
is supposed to have come from its
origin, Shibai-Ya, meaning sod" and
va, a house"

The Swordf;sh Season.

From this time onward the sword
fish will live a p%recarious life. for this
noon the first of the swordfish fleet

fitted out at T wharf. Another
schooner is slated to start tonight,
and in a few days a good sized feet
will be patrolling the waters all the
way from Edgartown. Block island, on
the south, to Cape Shore on the north.
The territory embraced is somewhat
more extensive than usual on account
bf the backwardness of the s
rhis means that the fish are not get
ling into the more Southernly waters
bs early as customary. The swordfsh
hre harpooned, and many exciting con.
tests have been waged between men
i dories and the fish with the sharp
boint.-Boston Transcript.

Silence and Rest Cure.

DR.. Weir Mitchell is very successful
in his cure of women suffering with
nervous %disLases, and a part of his
rest cure is silence. One of the values
OF silence. he says. is hat during
that period a woman may not tell
her troubles. for talking of ones
troubles, contrary to the generally ac-
idea of its being comforting, is
.deIeterious to the general constitu-
.tlon. 1t reduces the vital force and
wearies the person who pours her
.grIefs nito a friends ear tenfold more
|than would the effort of s%uppressing
her grief. He does not allow her
friends to visit the patient because
that would mean that they would he
tol dof her troubles. Oriental wom-
ZEN, who do not talk as much as Ameri-
cans, are healthier and their tempers
ARE more soothing.

Work to Save chIeaoo BABIES.

The United Charities Of Chicago and
the city's health department have
Joined forces for d summer campaign
to save the lives of babies. Maps have
been prepared showing where every
baby died last year. and the efforts of
500 workers who will be in the field
will be especially directed to these
districts. The progress through the
early part of the summer is expected
to be so effective that last Augustus
record of 719 deaths of babies under
two years of & will not be repeat
ed. The city will be mapped into "a
districts, zach under the particular su-
pervision of some organization. There
will be 81 free milk stations, numer-
GUS day nurseries and five tent hos
pitfalls for babies.

Fear Of Death.

Doctors and parsons are doing a lot
ri harm by increasing the fear Of
death and making the English less
manly. No one should consider death
or think of it as worse than going
from n room into another. The
greatest of political writer's has said:
Despite your life, and you are
master of the lives of Others" Phil
osophy would say, Conquer the fear
OF death. and you are put into pos
session of you life" I was a very
timfd and sensitive boy. 1 was
frightened of everything; l could not
endure to be left alone. But when |
came to be Is l looked round the
world las far as a youth of IS can
look) and determined not to be afraid
again. Since then I have had no
Tear OF death. Every night when l
go to bed | know l may not rise from
it. That is nothing to me.-George
Meredith.

Theory Of Earth,s Interinr.

For the best essay on the earth's in
terror the University of Jena has
awarded a prize to NJ. Theme, whose
theory is thus outlined: The mean
density of h earth is known to be
more than five times that of water. As
the surface rocks have an average
density of only 21a and water of 1. the
interior must have a density of about
7.7-that OF iron. 1t is fairly certain
also that the rigidity is slightly great
err than that OF steel. He concludes
that the earth's crust is about $50
miles thick. instead of the 80 miles of
the estimate, and that it in
closes a very dense inc rigid core that
he calls barysphere.

Strike Of Reeshi Miners.

In the recent strike of the Resshi
miners in Niihama. in northern Japan.
the systematic military organization
adopted by the mob in its attacks
upon the police and troops was i'm
pressive. The rioters marched as we'll
as soldiers and fought under COM
manders as in battle. Evidently these
men had not gone through the Man
churian campaign without learning the
art of united ~self-defense. They
showed regular signals during action
and they deployed and maneuversed
like a fighting column. They were
pleased to regard hospitals and
schools as neutral properties. but all
the property belonging to the mining
company was reduced to ashes.

MESSENGERS That Hurry.

Messenger boys who have had ex-
perience in the Wall street district
are asked for SC frequently that it
looks as if we will soon be obliged to
insist upon that as a qualification for
our boys" said the manager of an
uptown messenger agency. Custom
ers claim that boys with a Wall street
training execute errands much more
expeditiously han the varie-
ty of messenger. | am inclined to
think that they are right. Nobody is
allowed to loiter down there and even
after the boys go away the habit OF

When the orchestra got tired at the

Play Piano for Bad Children.

DR.. Julia Seton Sears, the renowned
metaphysician. has done considerable
experimenting at her school in Osca-
wanna, N. Y, in correcting the faults
of children without furnishing them.
Her advice to mothers is to play on
the piano for their children when
they are disobedient instead of pun
ishing them. She says to play m
thing the children know, as their
childish emotions are not so respon-
sive to unfamiliar airs. She is CON
WINGED of the i~nfallibility of this cure
and says it is equally effective in the
case of grown-ups. Worry, anxiety.
are and %irritability may all be
soothed by certain classes of music.

e Education,

For, when all is said and done, the
value of formal education is not in the
facts acquired nor in the arts or
sciences of which some idea may be
obtained. 1t is in the training and tx
ercising of the mind to work-to know
how to go about the task hat may
present itself-to understand that be-
cause the task is strange it is not
therefore impossible. 1t is in the equip
ment of the mind with a fulcrum on
which to rest levers and move the

WOMAN IS VICTIM

DRAGGED TO WooDs-sHE
WILL RECOVER.

New Kensington, Pa. MAJ ls.-
Armed posses are ACQUIRING the Alle-
gheny river valley, In the vicinity Of
Arnold, for the assailants Of Mrs.
Adolpf Baldesberger, % years old a
member of one of the best known and
wealthisst families in Arnold, wro
was found unconscious this morning
near her home. Miss Baldesberger
was returning from q visit to neigh
Dor last night and when walking up
her own lawn heard some one calling
her Believing 1t was a neighbor, she
returned to the gate, where she was
attacked by two men. Her assailants
struck her over the head several times
with some blunt instrument and when
she was unconscious took her purse,
containing $40, gold watch and chain
and a diamond ring.
After robbing their victim OF all Of
her valuables the thieves dragged her
about $50 yards across the road and
concealed her body in a clump OF
bushes. The family waited until 10
o'clock for her return They then made
inquiries and notified the police. A
general search OF the neighborhood
was made and the body of the uncon- :
scious young woman was found early
today. Mrs. Ba4desberger did not re-
gain consciousness for several hours
and could give no information that
would aid the police In their work.
The men did not wear masks, but in
her struggles she failed to gain a
clear idea Of their appearance.
