the St. Louis was expected as surely

England seems to have quite thrown

d a diversion in behalf of the Italian
forces that were being worsted In Abys
sinia. Now that the Belgian army I
co-operating from the south, it is clear
that the invasion is to be on a great
scale and contemplates the subjugation
tf the Sondan, while all talk of the
evacuation of Egypt Is at an end. It
Is clear that England's designs in Af

This character, says a living writer, we

The rapidly progressing disappear
ance of the railroad brakeuian as a
necessary adjunct of the handling of a
train has been a natural result of Im
provements that have made the work
he performed practically automatic. It
Is curious, also, that largely to the same
agency ig attributed the marked de
cline in the number of casualties to
these brakeuien and other railroad em
ploye. Reports to Congress by the In
terstate Commerce Commission show
that during the last year l.Sil employes
of American railroads were killed and
injured, while during the year
previous the nuuitier killed was 2,"'Ki
and the injured 'i'2,M.. The Commis
sioners admit that some of the decrease
is due to greater ellicieuiy among the
men. but the larger portion by far Is
accounted for by the increased use of
these automatic appliances. The gov
ernment lias officially recognised the
effectiveness of these Improvements In
reducing the dangers of operating rail
roads to the lowest limits by including
In the interstate commerce law a man
datory provision that all railroads must
"equip their cars with automatic and
continuous brakes and couplers, and
their locomotives with driving wheel
brakes." In obedience to this regula
tioa nearly one-half of the 1,20.ikM
freight and coal cars in use are provid
ed now with these appliances, and all,
with few exceptions, of the 2S,UM pas
senger cars and S.itsj mall and baggage
curt, are similarly equipped. It Is rea
sonable to suppose, also, that the same
cause is reswnsible partly for the
steady decline In the number anil seri
ousncg of accidents In which passen
gers have been Involved. In the last
year, when 540,0i0,0u0 passenger were
carried on all roads, the New York Sun
show s in a tabulation that only one was
killed to each 1.WW.791 carried, or one
to each 44,103.8 miles traveled. By
the automatic process trains can be
stopped o quickly on levels or grades,
curves or bridges, that full-head" col
lisions arc rare and collisions with all
forms of obstructions less probable.

Liters toor is looking up. Kor years
authors have been seeking a heroine
for their novels who shall be different
from the old stereotyped girl w blcli lias
been doing dirty since book writing be
gan. One author has at last succeeded
In finding one who, if she Is as she is
described. Is not only different from
other heroines, but resembles nothing
on, alove or bel.iw enrth. This girl's
name is Hesper, and here she Is: "A
fugKive flush of faintest scarlet tinged
the round oval of her face, The deep,
short curve of her lips bore no sugg
tlou of weariness; her feet touched the
ground as If Impatient of restraint; lu
the varied rust colors of her hair the
emeralds, burning with the fire of their
own hearts, accentuated the kindred
vitality of the woman who wore them.
Her eyes were dead as the dusk Itself;
their color was the color of rain-wet
dust. They were a discord In her face."
Hesper ought to do something for her
self. She can't go as she Is very loug
before the deep, short curve of her
mouth will get so weary that it will
make other people tired. She has one
thing to be thankful for, however, and
that is that the oval of her face Is
rounded Instead of square or rectangu
lar. If the oval were diagonal or slab
sided the chances are that her lips
would liear so many suggestions of
fatigue as to be felt for miles around.
Hesper should i-onsult an ocullstf. I lead
eyes would be a discord in any face.
There are specialists In Chicago who
cku fix her out with glass eyes which
would hardly be distinguished from
real ones. Then perhaps she could
keep her feet still. . Jxsiklng as she does
It is little wonder that Nylvanns walked
up to Hesjter and said: "Will you give
me your lips and your brows and the
little red snakes they call your hair,
and the white fingers which chajige
clay to flame, for the lips and the hands
and tbe hair of my Idy of Ixve?" If
Sylvanus talks that way all the time
he cau't lie all right, either. If he mis
takes riesper's hair for little red snakes
he ought to change bottles. No mau

Monkey on Shipboard.

tx-st repay thought and effort. The

some altogether new effects are got

THE FIELD OF BATTLE
INCIDENTS AND ANECDOTES OF

(Settyaburs as It Now Look.
The town of llettyslturg Is given over
j to the battlefield. That is alunst the
I only business and furnishes substau
j tially the only occupation of the great
er part of Its people. The :S inhab
itants of the little shire lunii are nios
ly hotel keejHTH, photographers, guides
and carriage drivers. The founders of
tle town could hardly have realize 1
what sort of industry would eventually
engross the attention of the people.
They are very good-natured about it,
and evidently live from one yar's end
to the other saturated in the atmos
phere of the battle.
The artistic merits of the collection
of monuments on rhe field of Oettys
burg Is matter of much controversy.
Sometimes Oettysburg has been refer
red to as our national museum of mon
strosities, or chamber of horrors. The
Idea of putting cemetery monuments
all over a town, for a space of six miles
long by two miles broad, is to many not
a tasteful Idea, others declare that
tills city of memorials is wonderfully
Impressive, and could not in its line
be excelled. To criticise the monu
ments themselves would be n large
task, sltii-e there are no two designs
alike. The equestrian statues of Han
cock, Meade aud Reynolds are quite as
ls'autiful ami artistic as anything of
the kind In Washlugtun. while some
of tbe smaller monuments, like a few
that might be found in Mount Auburn
or Fonst Hill, are a little short of le
liHf artistic. I was much amused by
the comments of a larty of Ohio men.
returning from a druggists' convention
somewhere, who were riding over the
field. When they reached, one monu
ment at the base of which rests
bronze dog, representing a faithful ani
mal that followed the regiment
throughout the struggle, the guide told
the story of the dog's fidelity with pon
derous seriousness. Just as the party
drove on a dog appeared running about,
the exact counterpart In size, color
and looks of the bronze memorial. The
dit'orum of the druggists disappeared,
ami they shouted to the man standing
ticl!le the newly discovered canine
"Put him back: he belongs on the mon
ument; he's Just got down; we saw him
there."
One of the most artistic endeavors of
those having the field in charge is the
attempt to keep things Just as they
were on the day of battle. Reynolds'
grove, where the gallant solder fell.
Is kept of tbe came size, and with the
same kind of trees, and new oik's are
constantly planted, aim the older
growth thinned out. so that for all time
Reynolds' grove may look as it did on
the day that made for Gettysburg
spot on the map of the world. Old
houses and hams that formed a part 01
the play are kept lu plai-e, and no new
ones which would change the oullook
are allowed to go up. Tills, of course,
is done through wholesale purchase of
land on the part of the Government, and
each congress has before It a bill to buy
still more territory. The highways
aliout Gettysburg were taken out of
the control of the town and given to
the l tilled States Government by spe
cial act of the legislature of Pennsyl
vania, but to this move the provincial
inhabitants objicted, even though It
saved them thousands of dollars.
The guides of Gettysburg are rather
ponderous In their style of diction.
They dole out the acciimulat mI folklore
of thirty years cone-rnlng the battle,
although the more enterprising ones
keep abreast of the times and quote
freely from "Hay and Nli kleby." which
confusion of names amused the author
of the Lincoln biography when I told
he was passing In Gettysburg for
the original Nicholas by that name.

Veti-rnri who Amputated Kia Lcara.
John Wales January, the Illinois

man who amputated lsith of his own
legs with a pocket knife while In 11 rel

ing a new set of artificial limbs made
by an ortheopedlst.

slock raiser at lell Uaplds. S. I. He
was for three years postmaster of the
Illinois House of Representatives, has

could have been State Senator if he had
had any aspirations fo political honors.

Ills story as related to a reporter whs
as follows:
"My grandfather was a Kreiiehman,
who'came to this country before the
revolution and was the first settler 011
the site of what Is now lexlngton, Ky.
My father was born In Kentucky, but
removed first to Ohio and then to Illi
nois. I was born lu Clinton County,
Ohio, and moved to Mlnonk. III.. In
ISCil. Ill the fall of !!:. I enlisted III
Company 'B of the Fourteenth Illinois
Cavalry, and serted mostly lu connec
tion with the Army of Hie Cumberland.
"In July, IHii-f, while on Stonemairs
raid from Atlanta to Macon, I was cap
tured by six rebels and sent to Alider
sonvllle. When Atlanta fell I w-as taken
to Charleston, 8. C where I remained
during the winter of !M14-'(L.
"In February, 1 s i.",. while nt Florence,
I was attacked with the swamp fever
and was delirious for three weeks.
When the fever abated scurvy and gan
giue followed, and I was s-iut to the
gangrene hospital. The disease settled
in my feet aud sukles, nud after sou's
time they lost all sensibility aud tha
flesh began to slough off. The surgeon
gave me no attention aud lirutai'.y told
me I would die. I told him I would live
If he would amputate my feet, but be
refused to do It. So. after suffering
while longer, I concluded to amputate
them myself.
"The only Instrument I could pncuri!
was a pocket-kuife lieiougiug to a com
rade named William Beatty. The large
blade, one half of which had been brok
en off, was all that asvl"ft of It. and
with this I cut off liolu of my feet at
the ankle. I had no assistance of any
kind except In disarticulating the an
kles, in which one of the boys gave me
t little help. But when I got through
the bones projected five Inches lieyoud
the flesh and so remained until after I
was exchanged.
The exchange occurred lu April,
IJMiTi. and I was taken to Wilmington,
N. C. The Futon surgeons weighed me.
ami the l'fci pounds of healthy flesh aud
bones I had taken Into the service hud
changed to l.'i pounds of such poor ma
terial thai it was universally supposed
1 could not live. Nothing was done for
me, and some time after I was sent to
David's Island. On my way the lioue
of one leg broke off even with the flesh,
and six weeks after my arrival the Isitie
of the other leg did so. But never to
this day was I given any surgical as
sistance whatever. One year later,
when I was discharged from the serv
ice, I eould hardly sit up III bed, but the
stumps had begun to heal In a sound
and healthy manner. It was twelve
years afterward, however, before I was
perfectly well. The Government has
treated me well. I was given u pension
