n..Iinsd The Invitation.

A somewhat striking story dealing
with the now obsolete conventional
suicide, harakiri, or happy dispatch,
once common in japan, was once told
by the French Admiral Gourdon.
When he was u young man he had a
comrade who, having assisted In the
organizing of the japanese navy, was
subsequently raised to the rank OF ad-
miral In that force. he took the part
Of the tycoon against the mikado In
the revolutionary war and, having
been captured, was tried by court mar
tial and sentenced to death, which In
those days implied harakiri. When
however. the fatal sword was pre-.
sented to him he fatty refused to Kill
himself and declared that II he was
to die somebody else must kill him.
Threats and entreaties alike proved
unavailing. he resolutely refused. The
whole of Japan was scandalized at
such immoral behavior, which, how
ever, saved his life. The japanese
penal code had never contemplated
such a contingency as man inhuman
enough to refuse the harakiri, and IN
the end he was banished from the
country and returned to France.

A DUPLEX Church.

Old Heidelberg is justly celebrated
for its castle, for the great tun there
in which holds $1,000 bottles Of wine
and was actually filed on three &C.
casions, and for the ancient university
with one professor for each seven stu
dents; but perhaps the most interest
ing thing in the old city from one
point Of view Is the Church Of the
Holy Ghost.
This church Is one Of the most an
Client buildings in the town. Long ago
partition wall was run through the
center, and services are held stimuli
taneously according to the Roman
Catholic and the Protestant rituals.
In the year 1871 the Elector, Charles
Philip, attempted to stop the dual serv-
ices, but this so offended the Heidel-
bergers that he was compelled not
only to desist in this effort, but to
remove the electoral court to Mann.

.Rsilwavs" and 1Railroads."


We are all speaking Of railways

Of about equal age in this country.
Goblet in 1882 wrote Of railways"
with the hyphen, Scott in 1881 Of rail

cheering journal declared that rail
way" by this time seemed to be gen.
orally adopted as the popular form.
