FOUGHT on Edge of Precipice.

A terrible struggle took place near
q precipice of 5000 feet, on the south
slopes of the Bernina range, between
an Italian officer and a private.
An Italian custom-house patrol, I'M
der the command of Lieutenant Rocia,
was visiting the Alpine posts in the
valtelin, on the Swiss frontier, when
the officer had to reprimand a soldier
named Cell. This man determined to
have revenge.
When the patrol was away on other
duty Cell attacked his officer on a
lonely Alpine pass and attempted to
throw him over the precipice. A long
struggle followed, the men being of
about equal strength and unarmed.
The officer, to save his life, bit
through an artery in the wrist of his
subordinate, who collapsed, owing to
loss of blood Soon afterward the pa
troll arrived and carried Cell to hos.
pieal in the valley, where he recov-
cred.
The military court, which has now
trSed the case at Milan, took into con-
sheraton the condition of the soldier,
ard above all, the refusal of his officer
victim to prosecute, and sentenced
Cell to six months Imprisonment.

Stopped His TALKING.

Ii Hung Chang tells us in his
"reminiscences that when he visited
Russia he was much impressed by
the precautions that were taken
against the assassination of members
of the imperial family. He says, Il
do not think / would like to exchange
positions with the car, even to have
the fine czarina as wife and my choice
of the rarest tea" The fine old China
man had at least the gallantry to put
the wife before the tea, but one
would like to know his actual esti-
mate Of the relative values. But Ii
Hung Chang himself was not wholly
a stranger to the assassin. He con-
tinues: "Once in Tientsin low fell
low came into my courtyard and told
the banner captain that he intended
taking my life. He had long piece
of wire, and said he was going to
hang me to my own gateposts. l had
to have his head cut off before he
would stop talking" Happy China,
where it is possible to cut off mans
head in order to stop him from talk
ing. And yet we say that the Chi
nese are lacking in civilization.

Hamlet.

At the first performance of Hamlet
upon any stage the applause was very
slight, and with it had been mingled
a few Kisses. There was no call for
the author from applauders or hissers,
and Burbage was in a terrible fury.
Hunting up the crestfallen author of
the play, he reared:
Shakespeare, this Hamlet of yours
is rotten! There isn't an epigram
from one end to the other, and no So
ciety play can hope to succeed with
out em. Queen Elizabeth is asleep in
just kicked hound into the street to
relieve his feelings! You've got to in
sert couple Of dozen of of glittering
epigrams into it by tomorrow's re-
hearsal or I'll turn it into a musical
comedy by introducing ballet and
making the grave diggers Yiddish
comedians!"
Next morning the trembling author
handed in a sheaf of Pineroesque SEN
fences that embraced the following:
'Brevity is the soul of wit
Conscience doth make towards of
US ALL"
''Frailty, thy name is woman"
",'Tis true, it's pity, and pity tbs tbs
true
Evidently they added the touch that
playgoers wanted, for Hamlet is run
ming still-Pulitzer's Magazine.

The Basement
Philosopher
By KENNETT HARRIS
(copyrigat 1913. by w. c. chapman)


The Janitor sat at the top Of the
stone steps that led to the basement,
nursing his injured toe, a grimace of
pain comforting his usually pleasant
countenance. His Scandinavian as
sistant was at the bottom of the steps
in the act of arising from an undigni-
fed posture, complicated by crushed
ash can, and his expression was half
wrathful half amazed.
Excuse me-" snarled the Janitor,
my foot slipped. And now we're
square, amt we? Don't look at me
in that tone Of voice or there'll be
more accidents and I'll have to wait till
you come to to make my apologies
Aid don't co. he added, as the assist
ant picked up the can. 1--we word
or two to say to you.
First OF all, let me ask if you didn't
have the whole dashbinged court to
walk on without taking a constitution
al on my corns?" the Janitor de-
manded. "you didn't mean to? Sure,
you didn't. l never supposed you had
the nerve to do it a-purpose; but
want to tell you that what you meant
didn't take a pound off your weight,
and your asking me to excuse you
didn't help none. You may think IL
did, but you're wrong. If it had been
my feelings you had tromped on,
apologizing might have been g. little
comfort, though that would depend;
but 1t was my corns You remember

VERY LITTLE: HAND LABOR
AZ Least 90 Per Cent. of Factory Work
of the World Is Now Done
by Machinery.

Year by year more and more CT the
work of the world is taken up by ma
chinery. In bulletin recently issued
by the government it is estimated that
4 10000 factory workers in the Unit
ed States turn out product equal to
the hand labor Of 100000 men.
This means that in the factories 80
per cent. of the work is done by ma
chinery. A very large part of this ma
chinery is driven by steam power,
which means largely coal power, and
both the getting and burning of this
coal involves a terrible waste. In
the United States alone the production
of coal now reaches nearly 500,000,000
tons, and in the whole world far above
1,000,000,000 tons. And it is estimated
that this means the actual mining of
half again as much coal. One-third is
lost or left in the mines in such shape
that it cannot be used.
Then of this net production-the
two-thirds remaining-perhaps 80 per
cent. is lost in the burning. At least
this is true of the coal used in engines.
Even the finest neutrality-suspicious.
engines, with all modern devices of SUI
perheated steam and the like to aug
ment their capacity, do not utilize
more than II per cent. of the energy
stored in the coal, while the average
steam engine OF commercial use does
not get more than six or seven per
cent. In other words, it is only about
three per cent. of the chained-up sun
light in the ground that eventually be-
comes available for human needs.
And, further than this, the mere
hauling and handling and storage and
distribution of this coal costs the
United States alone probably full
81 ,000, 100000. The coal traffic is, in
deed, the chief item of railway trans
portation. From all this it is suffi-
GENTLY clear why the problem of uti-
iizing coal energy has SO deeply en-
gagged the minds of inventors and en-
gineers, and why ever relatively
small gain would mean so much to the
human race.-Colliers Weekly.

Minister ans Movina Pictures.

NJ. Cheron, French minister of labor,
was sitting in the darkness Of Gin
erna show watching the pictures of an
official reception. On the film ap-
peared NJ. Cheron himself in the pro-

traordinary likeness between him and
the gentleman on the film. He add
eel, The only difference between you,
monsieur, and the real IL. Cheron
seems 10 be that you and are mere
plain bourgeois, whereas, of course, N.
Caeron, the minister, is one Of our
greatest geniuses.
The labor minister could not resist
it. He took his card and handed il
silently to his neighbor. The neigh
Dor returned his own card, and on it,

That women cannot keep secrets is
fallacy and one striking proof is in
the fact that L.oyd-George employs
two women secretaries, one OF whom
has a staff of typists under her.
Premier Asquith also employs
woman secretary in addition to the
men on his staff. Percy Ellington, the
government whip, has woman secre-

men on certain lists but everyone
knows that those high in government
