Jay anil Jefferson lied the lament was
raised that the hk'o of btatesmen had
pjihsml. The great heroic figures of our
history had pasM-d off the stage of action
and left no Buccessors. This lament was
raised, too, when Webster, Clay, Cal
houn and Jackson were in the full flush
of their remarkable powers.
After these great men had left the
stage of action the lament was again
raised that the age of great men had
passed. To be sure, the presidential
chair was occupied by an awkward
backwoodsman from Illiuoia But Lin
coln wan called a vulgar story teller, an
irresolute, vacillating, good n tured
man, welmeauing enough, bat with no
executive ability. Charles Sumner was
in the United States senate, but he was
called a visiouary bookworm, full of
fanatical theories, but possessing no
practical statesmanship. Now we look
back to the time of Lincoln and Sumner
and say, "There were giunta on the
earth in those days." So the world is
always "just out" of great men, simply
because it does not appreciate a good
thing when it sees it or it must see a
good thing a long while before it can
properly estimate its qualities. Yankee
Blade.
The Lut Dllyn of King- J J.
A tourist, who has just returned from
the Canary islands, had an interview
with King Ja J n a few days before his
death. The exiled king waa at that time
staying at a hotel in Santa Cruz, and
was in very low spirits, doubting whether
he would ever see his native land again,
though he had made all the necessary
arrangements for his departure. His
journey was delayed by the British vice
consul, who told him he must wait till
the arrival of Major McDonald, the com
missioner of the Oil rivers.
The colonial office had exacted from
him aa a condition of his being allowed
to return, a promise to create no dis
turbances, lie was suffering severely at
the time from dysentery, and being con
vinced that he was the victim of a con
spiracy against his life, he refused to
take medicines, hiding himself on the
roof or in the cellar of the hotel at the
hour the doctor was expected. Three
days before his death he was to have
gone to a village on the hills for change
of air, but he refused to leave, sayiug:
"1 no go. I had a dream from my fadder
lie say I be with him iu tree day."
The Psychical society will be interest
ed to know that this presentimeut
proved true. The ex-king's dress was a
suit of white flannels and a long dust
coat. He had been deserted at St Vin
cent by his wives and servants; they had
sent their luggage on board the steamer
that was to carry them to Teneriffe, but
el aid on shore themselves. When, after
the steamer had started, the boxes were
oened, they were found to contain only
rubbish. London News.
lUIr Not Protected.
The Berlin courts have decided that a
lover may cut off his sweetheart's tresses
and yet escape with a light sentence,
even if it be proved that the act was in
spired by malice and with a viow of
spoiling the young lady's outward appear
ance. This decision has been arrived at
in the case of a girl who sued her ex-lover
for "conspiracy." alleging that he robbed
her of her blond locks with the object
of injuring her iiersoiml attractiveness to
such a degree that she would bo Hr.d to
accept his offer of marriage. Tl.j case,
it appears, has been before several courts
and finally reached the supreme court
of the Trussian realm, which decreed
that 'Airy might cut off 'Arriet's hair,
but could only bo pnuished for assault

Why They Cheer.
It is not so often that the band which
T'ys at the ocean promenade of Ashury
Park treats the seaside pilgrims to the
"Star Spangled Banner," but when it
does the applause is furious. Strangers
are surprised at the outburst until they
learn that it was this band which was
on the United States ship Trenton when
she waa driven ashore in the cyclone at
Samoa, and which struck up the na

eliciting cheers from the British frigate
that was drifting by. The baud is com

A new method of working motor en

creating no little interest in English cir
clest According to this plan the mix
tnre of the steam with the hot gases, to
form a charge for doing duty in the

ed in the following way:
First, the chamber having supplied a
cnarge or miitnre to the workinir cvlin-

haust, hot gasea are passed throneh to
clean and dry it, and while the chamber
is still full of hot, dry gases it is closed.
steam at a suitable pressure is now ad
mitted, mixing iere with the hot Kaaes.
and forming the working mixture for
use in the cylinder. This mixture, be
ing at a nigh pressure, expands in the
cylinder, which, after the former has
done duty in effecting a stroke of the
piston, is opened to the exhanst. and the
spent mature allowed to escape.
t or a single acting engine, one mixinir
chamber is said to suffice, while a double
acting engine requires at least two, in
eacn or which the process takes nlace
but the chamber or chambers to supply
