Key of Tihaldo.

The "key of death" is a large key which is shown among the weapons at the arsenal at Venice. It was invented by Tibaldo. who, disappointed in love, designed this instrument for the de: struction of his rival. The key Is so constructed that the handle may be turned around, revealing q small spring, which being pressed q very fine needle is driven with considerable force from the other end. This needle is so very fine that the flesh closes over the wound immediately, leaving no mark, but the death of the victim is almost instantaneous.

A RIDE ON THE PILOT.
It Was Too Exciting a Railroad Trip to
 Be Repeated.

It Was Too Exciting a Railroad Trip to
 Be Repeated.
 An eastern man was riding by rail through the Rocky mountains. A friend had told him about riding on the pilot of the engine through some grand mountain scenery, and the east erner was eager to have the same ex- perience. At the first opportunity, therefore, he asked the conductor whether his friends al he could ride on the front of the a.na The con- ductor very promptly said they could not. Nothing but a permit from the superintendent of the line would en- title any one to such q privilege. AS the superintendent was thousand miles away, it seemed a hopeless case.
 The customer spoke of his disap- pointment to the Pullman conductor, who told him that perhaps the affair could be managed after all. Through his diplomacy it was arranged some how or other, and at the next station lOuT Ol tue Ddl Ig iiNAuuIit7 t7 I"N A@A44S'f took their places on the pilot.
 The scenery was some of the grand est in the new world, but the customer could not enjoy it. The two slender rails in front held his gaze with a sort of horrible spell He could not look away from them. He felt almost the same sense of insecurity and terror that q man would feel if he were sud denly whirled off into infinite space.
 Suddenly, as the train rounded a curve, he SAW a hand car on the track ahead. His companions saw it at the same instant. A man stood beside 1t and was making desperate efforts to remove it from the rails. He got the wheels off; then, as the engine bore down upon him, he fled.
 The engineer did not see the hand car at once, he was at the moment looking at his gauges. When he did see it 1t was too late for him to check the speed of the train. He could only look on.
 The hand car was on the side of the track nearest the man from the east. He had an awful half minute. He rose to his feet, not knowing what he did, and leaned far over in front of the others. His eyes were riVeted upon the hand car. He saw nothing, realiz- ed nothing except its approach.
 The engine struck the hand car with terrific force, and the pilot lifted 1t from the rails. It rolled up, ground against the very place where the east erner had been sitting, plowed a deep groove in the irOnwork and then top pied over at the side of the track.
 The frightened engineer set the brakes and brought the train to standstilI. Not one of the party was even touched, but they had had enough riding on the pilot. And, in- deed, it was the end of such riding for others. From that time all such trips were strictly forbidden.
 It was two years before the man from the east could see hand car even standing harmlessly beside rail way track without turning faint and Companion.

So great was the indignation of the American colonists in 17G5 against the stamp act that the Connecticut stamp officer rode into Hartford on a white horse to deposit his resignation, with a thousand armed farmers riding after him, and said he felt like death on pale horse with all hades following him."

MEMORIAL DAY BEING
 GENERALLY OBSERVED

Little Rock, May 3O-~Memorial Day is being observed throughout the state today in memory of those who bore arms for the protection of their country and have gone to the eternal bivouac. In his proclamation for the observance of the day, Gov. Brough asked that all might unite "in SUD- plicating a merciful God that militar- ism, Kaiserism, and despotism may be disenthrailed and driven from the memory of all Gods people, and that an universal peace between all nations may be established throughout the world, having its foundations upon the principles of righteousness and love, and having for it's goal the uni versal recognition of the tenets of the lowly Nazarene.
 Some of that thin line of gray are with us still" says he, 'but many of the loyal and patriotic hosts have passed to the Great Beyond, and it is highly appropriate in this apprehen- sive time, when the war god is ramp ant on land and sea, that we should pause to rededicate our lives to the cause for which these heroes gave full measure of the" devotion"
