Effective Warning.

A boy last week in England climbed
a telephone pole and was killed. "Elec.
trocuted" is the doubtful word that
records his fate in the press. All
across the Roman Campagna to the
foot of the Alban hills and the Sabine
mountains are telegraph and telephone
poles, and to everyone of them is af-
fixed, not a verbal warning lest any
urchin inclined to swarm should not be
able to read, but a most ineligible
threat, in striking black on white-a
skull and cross-bones. The Italian
child is well used to that symbolism
he has seen it il churches and there.
fore no "cadaverino," to use the rather
charming Italian diminutive, has been
picked up under the wires. And is
there no like way of warning the little
Briton ?"-London Chronicle.

Minlsterinq AnqeI.

To the sick man the divine reveals
Itself in many way; it fills his sick
room. He does not ask that angels
shall minister to him, for woman's
hands smooth his pillow, bring him a
marvellous beverage called milk, and a
delicate, transparent, glittering mass
Of bubbles that dance in rainbow col
ors within the tumbler. This am
brosia the prosaic nurse calls whipped
up white of egg, as if by mere words
she could exercise the spirit of poetry.
Poetry invades the sickroom, it sings
in the sunbeams. it leaps with the
leaping flames of the fire and snuggles
In the bosom of the rose. Poetry is
but the harbinger of the divine, and
both express themselves in the human
voice. If the forces of life can take
the dust of the earth and compound it
into woman's hands, and that mira
Gle does not convince US that the
forces of life are divine, then no other
miracles or revelations will.-Samuel
McChard Crothers, in the Atlantic
Monthly.

TWO Casts of Mind.

There are two casts of mind and
two classes of writer's which stand out
in more or less marked contrast to
each other at all times. We name
them ''ceux qui agitent lie monde, ct
ceux qui lie civilisent," classical and
romantic, the men of clearness and
calm and the men of magic and enthu-
siasm, the walkers in the broad streets
of life where the fine palaces and fair
prospects are, and the walkers in the
by-streets where sQualor and eccen-
tricity hug their independence.
The one sort finds everything inter-
esting, even the ugly, and sometimes
especially the ugly; the other averts
it's eyes, as far as it may, from disease
and disorder, and ugliness and IRA
tionality.
That is what Goethe meant when,
with some injustice to himself as well
as to other people, he declared that
the classical was the healthy and the
romantic the diseased.

CURIOUS TAXES OF OLD DAYS
Those of Holland Among the Most
Quaint Of Which Any Record Has
Been Left.

The archives of Holland contain
ordinances which may well be regard
ed as curiosities of taxation. In the
year 1866 there was a tax imnosed
on all passengers travelling in Holland
by land or water. In 1871 tbis fay
was still in force. In 1874 a dutv of
twopence-halfpenny was levied on
each person who entered a tavern he
fore noon. Persons who assembled in
a private house after three O'Clock in
the afternoon for the purpose of amus-
ing themselves had each to nav GER
tain sum, and those who entered a
place of entertainment were likewise
taxed. There was a duty on mar
riages and Deaths The amount of
the tax varied according to the social
position Of the parties, while in the
case of a person buried outside of
the district in which he lived the
amount payable by his executor was
doubled.
But the most curious tax of all was
one imposed in 1874 on boots and
shoes. In order to prevent the impost
from being evaded, each of those ar
ticles so essential to human comfort
had to be conspicuously marked on
the upper leather with the stamp of
the maker, and also with that of the
taxing officer. The sum to be paid
was regulated by the size of the boot
OF shoe, so, apart from the question of
beauty, in those days it was a real
advantage to have a small foot. 1t
saved expenSe.-LUndon Tit-Bits.

pEATH or John MOSS.

John Moss died at the family home
in this city Monday night last, at the
age of SO years.
The deceased was the founder of the
Standard Paper company, with whom
he remained right up to the time of
his death, he could always be found
at his desk and always had smile
for all.
He was member of the Wauwatosa
Methodist church and was always
ready and happy when he could be of
any assistance in church work. His
was Christian life. He was also a
member of the Wauwatosa Lodge of
Masons.
He believed in the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man. He
believed that the man who scatters
flowers in the pathway of his fellow
men, who let's into the dark places of
life the sunshine of human sympathy
and human happiness, is following in
the footsteps of his master.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his
widow, one son Roy Moss and one
daughter, Mrs. John Forester both of
this city.
The funeral was held from the Meth
odist church in this city Thursday aft
ernoon, Oct 26. at 2:30 p. M Inter
ment was in the Wauwatosa cemetery.

PROPOSING WITH A SPLASH
To Break Jar Over Girls Head Is
Avowal of Love Among
Tarascans.

The land of the Tarascans lies due
west of the City of Mexico, and here
the natives retain many of their prac-
tees which were well established when
the Spaniards first landed at Vera
Cruz. Here is the accepted method
of courtship, for example:
The lover goes to the spring where
the object of his affections is accus-
toned to fill her water jar. He holds
her shawl until she accepts him, and
then, with a stick, he breaks the jar
which she holds on her head and gives
her betrothal baptism of water
According to Prescott, the Taras-
cans had Noah, called Trezpi, who
escaped from a great flood in boat
laden with animals. Instead of a dove
Trezpi sent out a vUlture first and
then a hummingbird, according to the
legend.
The Tarascans once possessed the
secret of tempering copper, an art
now lost to the world.-National Geo
graphic Magazine.
