Tbat Continent the 8tac for Promlaont Hlatorloal Flsnros. Writing of his travels in the Orient, Lord Cunon, the present rlceroy of India, has the following good word to cay for Asia in general: Asia has al ways appeared to me to poesess a fas cination which no country or empire in Europe, still less any part of the western hemisphere, can claim. It is believed by many to have been the cradle of our race, and the birthplace of our language, just as it certainly has been the hearthstone of our religion, and the fountain-head of the best of bur ideas. Wide as is the chasm that now severs us, with its philosophy our thought is still interpenetrated. The Asian continent has supplied a scene for the principal events, and a stage for the most prominent figures, in his tory. Of Asian parentage is that force which, more than any other influence, has transformed and glorified man kind viz., the belief in a single Deity; Five 6f the six greatest moral teachers that the world has seen Moses, Bud dha, Confucius, Jesus and Mahommed were born of Asian parents, and lived upon Asian soil. Roughly speak ing, their creeds may be said to have divided the conquest of the universe. The most famous or the wisest of kings Solomon, Nebuchadnezzar, Cy-r rus, Timur, Baber, Akbar have sat upon the Asian thrones.' Thither the great conqueror of the Old World turned aside for the sole theater be fitting so enormous an ambition. The three most populous existing empires Great Britain, Russia and China are Asian empires, and it is because they are not . merely European but Asian that the two former are included in the category. To Asia we owe the noblest product of all literature, in the Old Testament of the Hebrew Scrip tures; the sweetest' of lyrics, in the epithalamium of a Jewish king; the embryos of modern knowledge, in the empiricism of Arabian geometers and metaphysicians. In Asia the drama was born. There the greatest writer 6f an tiquity chose a scene for his Immortal epic. There, too, the mariner's com" pass first guided men over the pathless waters. In our own times alone it is with her aid that we have arrived at the evolution of three new sciences- comparative mythology, comparative Jtsrtsprudence, and .': philology. From Asia we have received the architecture of the Moslem that most spiritual and refined of human conceptions the por celain of China, the faience of Persia, Rhodes, and Damascus, , the infinitely ingenious art of Japan. On her soil was reared the most astonishing of all cities, Babylon; the most princely of palaces, Persopolls; the stateliest of temples, Angkor Wat; the loveliest of tombs, the Taj Mahal. There, too, may be found the most wonderful of Na ture's production the loftiest moun tains, on - the surface of the globe, the most renowned, if hot the largest, of rivers, the most entrancing of land scapes." In the heart of Asia lies to this day the one mystery which the nineteenth century has still left for the twentieth to explore viz,, the Tib etan oracle of Lhasa. GlMseg la.

It shows that only as to a few subjects does foreign legis lation exceed in bulk and detail the leg islation enacted by this country. , The most Important subjects legislat ed upon abroad, but not touched upon by this government, or its states and territories,-are the state insurance sys tems found in some European countries and some of the Australian colonies, but not as yet in Great Britain, and the great guild system of Germany, corre sponding in a measure to our state leg islation respecting labor unions, but es tablishing a far more .elaborated system.- . : : - In Germany guild legislation Includes the entire system of apprenticeship and affairs managed in this country by mu tual benefit, mutual insurance, building and improvement, funeral and other so cieties. Legislation on the continent Is more precise and definite as to appren ticeship than in this country or in Eng land. The tendency in, the United States has been to abolish apprentice laws entirely or for such laws to fall into disuse, the control and instruction of apprentices to depend on the action of labor unions. . Continental legislation also exceeds that of this country in factory acta, regulation of shops, hours of labor, sweatshops, employment, etc There Is an absence abroad of special legislation for certain classes, like rail way . employees; of statutes against combinations by employers or by em ployees against blacklisting; strikes and boycotts. Blacklisting, however, is impossible where, as Is the case in some European countries, every work man is furnished an official passbook in which the employer must write .the date and reason for the discharge. if Red Line No. 5055."

That is a curious order issued by one department commander In the Grand Army of the Republic, says the New Tork Sun, forbidding comrades of his command to speak the name of Czol gosz. The name of the assassin of President McKlnley, the commander says, should never be pronounced by Americans. Consistent with that com mander's idea and aim, his order does not Include the name Czolgosz, but re fers to the criminal only as the assas sin of the president. The order, of course, will be obeyed, as It is a mili tary order. The commander's patriotism may not be disputed, but the extent of his profit by the lessons of history is likely to be challenged. When on the birthday of Alexander the Great in 858 B. C. the Epheslan Herostratus set fire to the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, he com mitted the crime for .the particular pur pose of Immortalizing his name. So soon as he acknowledged this to have been his aim and desire the Ephe- slans put him to death and then enact ed a law prohibiting the mention of his name forever. The law as a matter of course, ef fected just the opposite of its purpose. The names of the Incendiary might easily have been forgotten and lost through the ages, with those of nobler and more Infamous men or of lesser humanity, but it was perpetuated by the historians of Ephesus, and Hero stratus will live on, as will the name of Czolgosz, immortal in Infamy. CHARLESTON'S EXPOSITION. A Promise That It Will Be Ready on Dee. 1. The directors of the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian exposition at Charleston, S. C say that there Is no doubt about the opening of the show on Dec 1. Architect in Chief Gilber says that he can have every building completed by Nov. 1 if necessary. While the Charleston end of the work will be brought up to time, there may be a delay In getting the exhibits prop erly installed, as practically the bulk of the Pan-American display at Buffalo will be shipped to Charleston. The ex hibitors will have thirty days in which to move from Buffalo to this city, and It is believed by the board of, directors that the gates will be opened with the greater part of the show In running or der. The demand for space has been greater than even the board imagined. The most encouraging feature about the exposition work Is the desire on the part of the business people of Charles ton to buy the bonds. Of the 1150,000 Issue at least $100,000 already has been taken. The banks In Charleston have agreed to float the bonds, and they are furnishing the money, the buyers giv ing cotes, which are held in trusts To Teach Soldiers to Iwlm. There is a certain Inexplicable back wardness in all armies In making the ability to swim as compulsory as other requirements of far less practical Im portance, says The Army and Navy Journal. If a soldier would not learn how to execute "fours, right." he would be at once attended to, but the fact that he doesn't know how to save his own life if he falls overboard is considered of less importance. This Indifference prevails not only among landlubbers, but also among seamen The accident at Bilancourt, where four French cav alrymen were drowned while engaged in crossing the Seine during a military reconnolssance, has caused a good deal of discussion in France, and the minis ter of war has Issued an order that In every case where rivers are to be cross ed In peace operations by swimming certain regulations shall be observed. The chief of these Is that when men un able to swim are engaged in the opera tlona they shall be accompanied or be closely followed by certified swimmers In equal number. ' BY, JAMES a WHITTEMORE. " (Coprriskt, lfOl, ky Dally Story Pub. Co.) "Find 6055 and you ean have two weeks "more and bring us home a deer."';' ".V--'-: ""' I V That was the send-off I got from Motley as I passed his desk on my way out of the office for a two weeks vaca tion down in Maine. ; It was cruel in Motley, to send me on a pleasure trip with the office , hoodoo . ringing in . my ears,, for being out of the sound of "5055" was, one of my most anticipated enjoyments. . Motley was the chief and I one of the numerous subordinate clerks in the car-clearing house of the Consolidated roads. Our work was monotonous and uninteresting enough, keeping track of the thousands of freight cars rolling about over our division. We had pri ded ourselves upon the record of our office untl lthe case of "Red Line 5055" had Come up and wrought hu miliation. It was in our particular division that "5055" had been lost and we were con stantly reminded of the fact officially and unofficially; This car had been sent way down In Maine with a load of potato-planters from ; Toledo. It had been started towards home empty and disappeared en route. The road upon which it started declared that they must have delivered it to the con necting s road and ) the officials of the latter were as positive that 4 they had not received it. The system of check ing was not as effective as now and but little satisfaction .,. "could be; ob tained from the" Maine-roads.' "If you think we have the car, come down here and find it," was the gist of their replies to our many inquiries. Tracers were passed along until they were all worn - out.' "Lost car men" scoured New England, but in vain. Red Line 5055" was lost indeed.. i Most people go tqthe great Maine woods for the hunting and fishing, but I went to see Nellie, an old wseetheart of mine with brown eyes, hair like and al lthat. Nellie and Ihad gradu ated from the high school in the same class on the same June day and as we "stepped out into the din of life's bat tle" which the valedictorian told about I left the little village for the city and the car office and soon af: Nellie's father was appointed gene manager of an immense plant in one of those mushroom pulp-mill towns in the Maine wilderness and went there,1 tak ing Nellie with him. We corresponded, she giving me lots of good advice and I confiding my hopes and aspirations and so it was that I accepted one of the several hun dred postscript invitations to spend my vacation in the pulp-mill town. ' I found Nellie more beautiful than and all that Of course it did not seem just proper to spend all the time basking in her smiles, so to vary the delightful monotony I wandered down to the little railroad station and struck up an acquaintance with the station- agent, who was also the operator, yard-master and most everything else about the place. He was a bright young fellow named Ross, I think, and knew enough about the business totalk shop to our mutual entertainment. One day I was paying him a call when he called my attention to a strangely appearing figure coming along the station platform toward us. "See that fellow? They call him 'Brick Kelley. He was one of the smartest and most popular men on the line brok e head on Haggerty's freight Now he's clear offn the iron." "How was that?" I inquired, casual ly interested. "His train was ssettlng off a hot-box at some little siding down the line when a special came along and jacked- up their rear. 'Brick was making a hitch or something and in the mix-up got a thump in the head which put him out of the business. He's gone clean daft. But the smash seem's to "What do you know about 5055'? run in his head Just watch while I flag him.". The man was about to Blink past us when Ross tapped him on the shoulder and suddenly asked, "What's the shift, Brick'?" The old trainman straightened up in an instant; his eyes flashed and look ing up and down the Hn6 he swung an imaginary lantern and called loudly and clearly: "Pull the pin on 505& and git out o here special's rlgbt on us, right on us right on u-s-a-s," and as suddenly as he had ,spoken his head dropped and he slouched off muttering, "Right on us, right on u-s-s-s-s." , Did my ears deceive me, hTat poor unfortunate had said something about V5055." He must know something about It To the surprise of my friend I dashed afterKelley. Grasping him tar. the shoulder, I am afraid rather roughly, as he looked up to me with a scared expression, I demanded: "What do you know about 6055? Where is she tell me man?" . He stared, at me - vacantly, passed hia hand over his forehead as if trying to recollect something, then shook his head and walked away moaning, "She's right on us, right on-u-s-s-s.": Iappealed . to Ross for further in formation, questioned air the ttraln men who stopped at the, station, the" section men and every one connected with the railroad, but elicited only the scrap of Information that the accident which cost poor Keliey hia reason took place at a siding about two miles be low that station; that the siding had since been abandoned and the rails taken up, and that the accident re sulted in but little damage to the roll ing stock and both trains had pro ceeded after a nhour's delay. I was' forced to come to the conclusion that Kelley ihad mentioned the number by accident but it certainly . was a strange coincidence. . My vacation was drawing to a close, and it was on my last day that Nellie and -I strolled down the line both on business -and - pleasure bent, for, for some reason, which I cannot explaim I was anxious to visit the place where the accident ' occurred. We found it without much trouble, for some of the "An old car 'way down here!" old ties were still in place. It had not been a siding as the term lsv technically understood, but a spur track ending abruptly upon the brink of a deep, wooded gorge. Nellie and I sat ourselves down to have a last long talk. It matters not what we, or rather what I. said, for I did the most of the talking. Nellie's part was mostly blushes and mono syllables as she amused herself with tossing pebbles down into the tree tops far below, ' , She had found a large, white stone and was looking at it intently when X ventured to ask: 'Nellie, if that stone was my heart, me, everything I am, what would you do with it?" "Oh, I might do that," and, suiting the action to the word, she took it from my hand and threw it far out It rustled the leaves in its fall and struck with a peculiar hollow sound, which echoed and re-echoed in the gorge, "What was that?" she asked in as tonishment "Perhaps there is a house down there let's go and see; besides, rm thirsty and there may be a spring down there." And, not waiting for my assent, she started to clamber, down , the steep sides of " the gorge, and, of course, I followed with a sigh and protests, but to no avail. "Perhaps we can find your heart, she said. She paused a moment in the descent, and I thought she never looked more handsome, framed in the greenery in graceful poise, when she exclaimed: "Why, did you ever! An old car 'way down here look!" I noeded no Invitation. I was by her side in an instant, and there be low us in the bed of a little brook and partially covered by rocks and et.rth, was the wreck of a box car. A step farther and then I don't know Just what I did.' Nellie says I caught her about the waist and nearly hugged the breath out of her; that I laughed and cried and then hugged her some more; threw up my hat and yelled and acted like a crazy man. And who had a better right? I had caught sight of the number on the end of the old car. It was 5055. I couldn't believe my eyes and I asked Nellie to read the number to me. "Why, you noonle, can't you read? It is fifty fifty-five Just as plain as And then I went through the perform ance all oyer again. That night I wired Motley: Y "Have found 6055, particulars by mail. Shall bring home a dear." "Beg your pardon," said the opera tor, "but didn't you have a bad spell on that last word?" "Not on your life," said I. The presence of the old car down in the deep gulch was easily " explained. There was no "bumper" at the end of the spur and when the special had crashed into the freight the car had been pushed off the end of the rails and had gone down through the trees out of sight unnoticed in the confusion and darkness. Kelley was hurt and the conductor of the freight lal: off pend ing an investigation and so 5055 was lost sight of altogether. When I returned to my desk 1 was given a grand ovation. "How about that deer?" asked Mot ley. ";. - "I will introduce you to her about Christmas," I replied. And I did. Bird bever flew so high but it had to come to the ground for food.
