Daniel O,Conneli,

After dinner at Lord Dungarvan's,
Lady Morgan writes In her diary: |
met the redoubtable Dan O'Connell.
Dan is not brilliant In private life, not
even agreeable He is mild, silent, un-
assuming apparently absorbed and an
utter stranger to the give and take
charm Of good society. / said so to
Lord Clanricarde, who replied: ''If you
knew how / found him this morning!
His hall, the very steps Of his door,
crowded with his clientele He had q
word or a written order for each, then
hurried off to the law courts, thence
to the Improvement society and was
the guest here today. Two hours be-
fore he was making that clever but
violent speech to Mr.. la Touch, and
now no wonder that he looks like an
extinct volcano"

FORCE OF GRAVITY.
IL Makes You Fall Faster In Boston
Than In Mexico City.


Than In Mexico City.
Did you know that you drop" faster
In Massachusetts than in Mexico
For instance, If you were to fall from
a twenty story building in Boston you
would descend q lot faster than liz you
fell from the same height In the City
qf Mexico.
The principle of this is quite simple
even If 1t does seem bit startling. II
Is merely that as one goes toward the
equator the force of gravity gets less
and less and the quickness of descent
of a falling body slower; and, while
doubtless you would feel just as un
comfortable falling that distance IL
one place as in another and the results
would be just as disastrous, there are
times and things in which the differ
ence is not only perceptible, but worth
u notice.
In Boston If you were to fire hori
sontally with rife and your gun were
sixteen feet from the ground the bul
let fired would reach the ground one
second after 1t had left the rifle But
IL you were to take that same rifle tC
the City of Mexico and fire 1t off the
same distance from the earth 1t woul6
take one and one-half seconds to reach
the ground.
So 1t is easy to see how when hunt
ing In different parts of the world Il
is necessary to calculate time from
this same shifting standard of reckon
ing.-New York World.

When the Waltz Was New.

AWARD FAvORS FIREMEN.
Federal Arbitrators Give Men a Sub
stantiaI Wage Increase.


stantaI Wage Increase.
A substantial increase in pay has
been awarded the railroad firemen by
the federal commission appointed TO
arbitrate the wage and work demands
Of $1,000 men employed on the rail-
roads of the east.
The men wanted an average fat
wage increase Of about 10 per cent
They got an average estimated at 6 to
II per cent.
The engineers last year got to 6
per cent increase out of their arbitra-
ton commission.
Without doubt the most important
matter settled by the award of the
board of arbitration was the question
of uniform wages for the same kind OF
service, regardless Of the size or finan-
cial ability of the road. Under that
award fireman on the Rutland or the
Hooking Valley will receive the same
pay as fireman doing the same work
on the same sized engine on the Penn
sylvania or the Lake Shore.
The principle of uniformity is thus
established for the first time, after
much argument for and against It.
The engineeSs in the arbitration of
their demands last summer fought
hard but unavailingly for the principle
of Standardization, as they called it.
The award relieves the fremen of
the duty Of cleaning the engines.
Firemen in passenger service are to
get S2.45 to $4 a day according to the
weight of the engines, the minimum
wage named being for duty on locomo-
tives weighing less than 10000 pounds.
In the freight service the f1remen's
wages will vary from $2.75 to $4 day,
based strictly on engine weights on
! drivers.
When two firemen are employed
each will get from $2.75 to SO day,
according to the engines weight.
Switch engine fremen will receive
$3.50 to $500 a day
Ten hours or less or 100 miles or less
are to constitute a days work. The
time for which firemen will be paid
shall begin at the time they are re-
quired to report for duty and end
when the engine is delivered at the
| point designated.

When ENGLAND Needed Bread

England was once on the verge OF a
bread famine. That was in 1900. when
the wars with France combined with
a succession of bad harvests to plunge
the country into state Of general des-
tjtution. "a law was enacted" writes
Mr.. r. w. lakewood, prohibiting the
sale of bread till 1t had been out Of the
oven at least twenty-four hours. Food
was so scarce and dear that q portion
Of the population refused to starve In
silence, and rioting broke out In many
parts Of England The acts against
forestalling and regrating' Is, an
ticipating the markets SO as to raise
the price of foodstuffs-were rigorous
ly enforced. A royal grant of f500
was made to one Thomas Toden, to
enable him to prosecute a discovery

tute for wheat foar"-London Stand

THE street car strike in the city
of Cincinnati is still on 1t now
appears to be a fight to a finish. A
few days ago it appeared to every
one that Mayor Henry T. Hunt
was with the strikers, but now it
is different. Henry switched to
the street railway corporation and
is now trying to make the public
believe that the street car employees
do not want to arbitrate. The COM
pany does not want to arbitrate
with their employees as union, but
Individually. This can never be
if the men want to gain better con-
ditions. If the company is OH the

It is at Easter time that the curious
"hair harvest of Brittany is "reaped"
by the travelling merchants. who go
from village TO village buying the beau
tiful hair for which the Breton bellies
are famous. This is later destined to
be made up into transformations,
"fringes' and other mysterious ar
rangements with which ladies less
abundantly endowed by nature make
up their shortcomings in the matter of
"woman's crowning glory" The eli
ents of the hair buyers are chiefly
country lasses in the remoter districts,
who are only too pleased to sell their
tresses in order TO obtain little money
to spend at the Easter fairs. The "har-
vest" however is said not TO be SO
good as formerly. as with the spread
of education and the love of display
many girls prefer to keep their hair

NEUTRAL WATERS.
River Stretches Where Fishermen Only
Waste Their Time.

Waste Their Time.
According to old fishermen, there is
what might be called neutral ground,
or, rather, neutral water in rivers,
where there is no use of trying to make
q catch unless it be that some fool fish
with q piScatorial brainstorm snatches
bait as an insane human might grab
a redhot stove.
This neutral water Is the part of
the river where its flow encounters the
saline impregnation of the salt water
of the bay or ocean into which 1t final
ly empties. With the ebb and the flow
of the tide the salt water OF the bay
runs up into the river for miles. and
on the reverse the fresh water de-
scends several miles again TO the bay
leading into the salt sea.
There is a midway between the salt
and fresh water points, however, that
very seldom shifts. Around this mid
way shad and blue and other salt wa
ter fish, if they visit at all, will hover
on the ocean side On the fresh water
fringe will loiter such fish as inhabit
currents that are devoid of the saline
ingredient If the fisherman happens
to cast bait in this neutral zone he is
not likely to get either one kind or the
other.-New York Sun.

SAVED BY QUICK WIT.
A Reply That Won Napoleon and the
Duke of Modena.


In the French campaign in Italy, in
which Napoleon |. first began to win
the laurels which subsequently so
abundantly crowned his career, a
young Italian cavalry officer was tax
en- prisoner.
Having serious doubts about his
safety, it occurred to the prisoner to
pretend he was great parsonage. So
he promised rewards to his captors if
they would insure his good treatment,
adding confdentially that he was the
Duke Of Modena.
He was exceedingly well cared for,
and early next morning he was called
before Napoleon, who was somewhat
puzzled at finding two Dukes of Mo-
dena among his prisoners, for the real
duke was also q prisoner. The real
duke angrily asked his counterfeit by
what authority he had assumed the
title of Duke of Modena The young
officer answered:
"Your grace, the peril of my situa.
ton yesterday was such that had
known more illustrious title would
not have assumed yours"
The reply SO pleased both the duke
and Napoleon that he was forgiven his
deceit.

THE TOMB OF JONAH.

Site of Nineveh

Site of Nineveh.
The site of Nineveh is almost per-
fectly level. But adjoining the western
wall are two huge mounds concealing
the palaces of the greatest kings of
Assyria. The lower or southern mound
Is occupied by a mosque and village
Of considerable size. It's name is Nebi
Yunus, or the Prophet Jonah, for in
the mosque Is the tomb in which Jonah
Is said to have been buried. The age
Of the tomb is uncertain, yet probably
1t dates from long after the Hebrew
prophets time. However, the place Is
now sacred. so sacred that pilgrims
visit it from afar.

A CITY OF CHANGE.
Ephesus, Once on the Seacoast, Is Now
Located Far inland.

Ephesus, Once on the Seacoast, Is Now
Located Far inland.
Sir William Ramsay characterizes
Ephesus as the city of Change" And
truly 1t has seen marvellous changes
and its inhabitants many removals. In
the days of St Paul and st. John Eph-
esus was a city of the seacoast; the
waters of the Aegean Tapped its busy
Wharves. Now the traveller to Ephesus
can scarcely imagine that he is near
the sea. To all appearances he is as
far away as on one of our inland prai-
ries. The Cayster during all these ages
has brought down mud and silt from
the mountains until now Ephesus is
miles from the seashore. Even In st.
Johns time the port was kept open
only by strenuous effort and constant
Eredging.
These changes wrought by nature
have compelled frequent changes on
the part of the inhabitants. The orig
inal city was built not far from Ayaso-
louk and "the whole Ephesian valley
was an arm Of the sea dotted with
rocky islands and bordered by pictur-
esque mountains and wooded promon-
tories,' we are told AS the sea receded
in the course of the centuries the pop
ulation moved with it until the Roman
city, the city OF St Paul and ST John.
was some miles from the original site.
At last this port became impossible and
the inhabitants moved farther back,
nearer to the site of the more ancient
city, where today the few inhabitants
that still remain are found Christian

JUSTICE, NOT CHARITY.

Concerning the purposed edu-

says: 1.-The girls know as much
about morality as anybody else.
They don't want to be educated

They want to be paid living
) wage so they can educate them
selves"

education is public charge and
) Is provided for in many ways
for all classes Of people, it is
) much better to have the workers
to seek such instruction as they
need through self help or coop
GRAFTON with fellow workers rath-
er than through charity.
Justice is nobler virtue than
generosity Fair payment of a
living wage is worthier than the
proffer of help where justice is
) denied. There are many kinds of
women's movements in these
; days, but hardly any among
them is proceeding with more
; sanity or dignity than that OF
working girls seeking TO estab-
; lish a right to look after their
. living, their education, their
manners and their morals for
themselves without interference
from patronage or philanthropy.

Obeyed the Dream,

Life is sometimes saved by dream
warnings. Take the case of DR.. Har-
vey, the celebrated discoverer Of the
circulation of the blood. When he was
a young man he set out from London
to go to Padua, in Italy, the seat Of
the famous university where he wish
ed to study. When he got to Dover
the governor refused to let him enter
his packet to cross the channel. but
declined to give any reason. The next
day news arrived at Dover that the
packet had been lost with every soul
on board Then the governor explain
ed his strange conduct. He said that
he had had dream of overwhelming
force, in which he was forbidden to
allow a young man, whose face ap-
peared to him. to enter the boat.
When Harvey presented himself the
governor recognized the face seen In
his dream.
