ure generations"

To GAUGE His Wife's Temper.

ST heard about a peculiar case of
henpecked husband recently" said
young woman the other day.
What was it?'' her friend inquired.
''There is man who has some diff
Guilty in gauging his wife's temper. At
times she is considerate of his welfare,
and at other times-well, he rather
thinks that married life is failure.
HE has a peculiar manner of find
ing out the state of his wife's feeling
toward him. In the evening when he
returns home from work he never
steps into the house without going
through a sort of ceremony. First he
throws his hat in the house, and then
he seats himself on the steps and
waits. If five minutes pass without
the hat being thrown out again he en-
tiers and generally finds his wife very
agreeable However. if the hat is
thrown cut again the unfortunate man
seeks hospitality for the night some
where else rather than brave the an
ger of his helpmeet."

A Canine Feat.

A blind man, guided by large and
athletic dog, went down the street the
other day. Just as they turned cor

knew and darted forward in way
that threw the sightless mendicant to
the ground. He was speedily assisted
to his feet, however, by wsggish
passerby, who remarked that he had
heard some remarkable stories Of the
feats performed by dogs, but this was
the first time be had ever known one

THE QUICKEST WAY.
How One Might Travel 1870 Miles In
About Ten Minutes.

ABOUT len minutes.
It is estimated that if all mechanical
difficulties could be removed and sufi-
Gent power developed the minimum
time in which passengers could be
transported over the eighty-five miles
from New York to Philadelphia would
be six minutes and forty-four seconds
and for the 100 miles from Boston to
New York ten minutes and four sec
onds. A correspondent of the Scien-
tifie American who has been working
on the problem says that the trains
would have to be run in a vacuum to
prevent their being heated to mean
descence by the resistance of the air.
They would have to be held in sus-
pension in the vacuum tube through
which they travelled, for the slightest
contact with the sides of the tube
would result in enormous friction.
The cars might be held in suspension
by the propulsion of opposing magnets
on the cars and on the tubes respec-
lively. When thus isolated they could
be propelled only by the power of
magnetism. The energy consumed in
DIOpeUluS the cars WOuIu De COIupdEd-
lively low.
To avoid shock or jar the trains
would travel faster and faster until
one-half of the distance should be COW
| cred and then slow down until the
destination should be reached. When
| the rate of acceleration is just such as
| can be borne with comfort the limit
| is attained. The effect on the paSsen-
gers would be a continuous pressure
| against the back of the seat, as when a
| car is started suddenly, for the first
half of the journey, and then in order
| to prevent them from pitching out of
their seats the chairs would be turned
in the opposite direction for the rest
Of the journey, during which the same
sensation would be felt.
At the speed named the passengers
would be travelling for each half OF
the distance one-third as fast as they
could fall through the same space un-
der the attraction of gravity.

The Fishing Otter.

The otter used by Scottish poachers
is one of the most deadly fishing in
struments known. In some waters
it is far more effective than net.
1t may be described as water kite,
which serves to take out over the
water line bearing fifty or more flies.
The otter itself is floating piece OF
board loaded along one side TO keep 1t
upright. The poacher walks along the
side Of the loch or river, letting out
the fly decorated line as he goes, the
otter board gradually working out
toward the center. An enormous area
of water is fished at one time and
numbers of fish are killed.

The Two Angels.

The following allegory is told among
the Turks:
Every man has two guardian angels,
one on his right shoulder and one on
his left. In doipg good the angel on
the right shoulder notes it down and
sets a seal upon it. for what is done
is done forever When evil is com
mitted the angel on the left shoulder
writes it down, but he waits until mid
night before he seals it. If by that
time the man bows his head and says,
Gracious Allah, have sinned; for
give mer' the angel blots out the fault,
but If not he seals it at midnight, and
then the angel on the right shoulder

4 Grim Ghost Story That Comes

- Grim Ghost Story That Comeo
From the netherlands
The following renai liable ghost

young men were officers In the same
regiment, and their only fault-a GER

quiet prudence so characteristic OF

These young officers were exceed
ingly anxious to see a ghost and took
q great deal Of pains to plunge into
all sorts Of gloomy places in the hope
Of finding them teranted by beings
from the other world At last they
seemed to find the orthodox old castle
with its haunted room. Everybody
bore witness to the horrible sights and
sounds nightly to be seen and heard
therein, and these young gentlemen
determined to pass the night there.
It was Christmas eve. and they pro-
vided themselves with good supper
and bottle OF wine each. fire, lights
and loaded pistols. The hours wore
on No ghost was seen; no ghostly
sounds were heard. The younger
brother, wrapped closely in his warm
cloak, laid bis head on the table and
deliberately resigned himself to q COM

though exceedingly weary. determined
| to remain awake and await the issue
of events.
After awhile a noise reused him
from reverie into which he had fall

through long, damp. dark passages till
they reached large, brilliantly light

Above the strains Of ruusic and the
din Of voices pierced a strange. sharp,
clicking sound, like the notes Of casta-
nets.
Bewildered and dazzled by this sud
den transition from darkness and ST.
lence to this gay festive scene, it was
some moments before he could col
lect his senses, but he was shocked by
perceiving that these gayly dressed Id
dies and their richly uniformed cava
liers were skeletons, and the curious
sound that impressed him SO strangely
was the clicking OF fleshless jaws!
The figure at his side ordered hin
to take az partner from this hideou:
throng, which he refused to do. Irri
tated at this refusal, the figure raised
his arm to strike, but the officer in
stantly leveled at him the pistol b,

it full in his face.
With the shock and report he started
TO his feet. The white figure. the ball
room. the fearful, CHASTITY dancers, al

where he had supped, but his brothe

He had shot him in his dream an,

night he was an altered man. A
the gayety had gone out of his life
all the sunshine had faded from hi
days, and after a few years of una

himself unable to bear the burde
of his regrets and put an end to hi

These and other similarly impor-
tant subjects were up for thA serious
consideration and approval of the

ness of importance was transacted.
After the smoke of battle had
cleared away and a general summing

found that the report OF the special

city's purchase OF the Salem water
plant, was adopted, and an ordi-

Another notable and important
thing that was accomplished by
the City Dads" last night was the
turning down OF the petition of T.
G.. BLY, and William Rutherford
for permission to move one Of the
one-story frame buildings situated
upon the Murphy property fronting
on State street around 10 Liberty
street. thus placing the council oa
record as progressive body and
giving its everlasting dlsapproval

ply commanded to answer questions.
If he refused he was court-martialed
and dismissed. In the present inquiry
witnesses have been asked to tell why
Captain Longan was affronted. None
have been commanded to testify. 1t
is expected that the order will be Civ
en- as a last order, as the action of the
cadets indicates a general conspiracy
to decline to answer.
If every cadet is commanded
to testify and refuses 1t will mean the
dismissa lof the entire cadet corps.
The cadets are still under arrest.
Antagonism toward Captain Lon
gan, according to academy gossip,
arose first when he refused to allow
the punishment squad" to wear over
coats during drill Saturday night,
when 1t was raining. He demerited
Cadet Burt, of ogdensburg, n. Y, on
the ground of playing possum," al
though Burt was operated on the next
day for appendicitis.
After the open break by the cadets
at mess Saturday night Captain Lon
gan forced the corps to leave the mess
hall "at double-quick," and forced
the hungry cadets to repeat the
"doubIe-quick" for an hour, 1t is said.
Sunday morning the cadets again re-
fusing to eat, Captain Longan again
repeated these tactics and kept them
drilling until some of them almost
dropped from exhaustion and hunger,
according to reports that have perco-
lated outside the academy.
