It la said that Kipling gets $12 a line
for his poetry, but this fact should not

Chicago Aldermen have Insinuated
that they ought to have salaries of
$3,000 per year each, as it is Impossible
for them to be honest at $3 per meet

law which compels people to be Alder
men in Chicago.
Having characterized Jonah's star
performance as a "Ash story," Rev. Ly
man Abbott Is now going for the scalp
f David. He says that of the 130
psalms David wrote only fifteen and
the rest were plagiarized or stolen.
This assault upon Mr. David looks like
a wanton attack upon a man who for
obvious reasons te not in a poe'.tlan now
to defend himself. As an Iconoclast
Dr. Abbott averages fully 98 per cent.
The Washington Tost says that
"probably no outgoing President ever
received such a high compliment as the
one accorded Mr. Cleveland. Nineteen
newspaper correspondents called upon
him, and not only paid their respects
but also chatted with the President in
an Informal manner for a full half
hour." Those Washington newspaper
boys do not appear to be at all haughty
or "stuck up."
A Kansas City minister recently made
a public statement as to the points nec
essary in a good preacher. He should,
first of all, have a good character, then
good education, a thorough knowledge
of the Bible, "heart conception," the
power of the Holy Ghost, and be a man
of prayer besides. If, in addition to all
of these desirable qualities, the fortun
ate individual can preach there is no
reason, apparently, why such a man
would not be a valuable addition to
any community.
From an investigation of the effect
produced by a railroad train on the air
through which it moves by Prof. F. E.
Nlpher, of, the St. Louis Academy of
Science, it appears that motion is com
municated to the atmosphere many fee
away, so that a large amount of air is
dragged along with the train. A pecu
liar danger arises near a swift-running
train from the tendency of the moving
air to topple a person over, and at the
same time to communicate a motion of
rotation to the body, which may cause
it to roll under the train.
Will the twentieth century begin In
1900 or in 1901?. This question was pro
posed by a mender of the Aeademie
de Sciences. He mentions documents
in which Goethe, Victor Hugo, and
other writers expressed the opinion
that the twentieth century would be
gin in 1900. Without doubt these au
thorities are wrong, according to M.
Bertrand, who claims there never was
a year zero, and the Christian era hav
ing begun in the year 1, the next cen
tury will not begin until 1901. The
T'aria exposition planned for 1900 will
therefore be a fin-de-siecle exposition.
It has become a common practice

Everybody remembers what a lot of
excitement there was in 1S94 when
Gen. Cassius M. Clay, then 84 years of
age, married a giri of 14 and took her
to his home near Whitehall, Ky. The
life of the strangely associated pair has
been an apparently happy one, though
the old soldier's attempt to remedy his
bride's complete lack of education and
feminine accomplishments has result
ed in' failure. Gen. Clay has at last
applied for a pension of $100 a month
as a veteran of the Mexican war. He
says he has done so now only in the
Interests of the wife, who must soon be
a widow. He served through The Mex
ican war with distinction, and acted as j
President Lincoln's minister to liuiwia :
during the rebellion. His first wife
secured a divorce from him soon after
his return from St. Petersburg.
M. Gelieneau, a French physician,
who has recently published a work on
mental and morbid conditions, de-;
scribes a number of phobiae, or fears, j
to which mankind is subject, and the I
catalogue looks alarming as one reads
the long scienti.e names. Among these
fears M. Gelieneau mentions the fol
lowing: Agoraphobia, fear of open
spaces, thalassophobia, dread of the
ocean; astropbobia, fear of celestial
spaces; haematopbobia, fear of blood;
necrophobia, horror of dead bodies;
thanatophobia, dread of death; anthro
pophobia, fear of crowds; monophobia,
fear of being left alone; bacillophobia.
fear of microbes; pathophobia, dread of
disease; kleptophobia, fear of becom
ing a kleptomaniac; toxicophobla, fear
of poisons; pyrophobia, dread of Are;
and demonophobia, or a dread of the
devil. The crowning fear, however, Is
phobophobia, the fear of having a fear '
or the dread of a dread.
The fact that the big European cities
have been growing much faster than '

342,000; in 1890, Hamburg had 590,200
and Boston 448.000. Baltimore was
once as big as Hamburg, but It has
long been distanced. Leipzig has grown
from 127,000 in 1875 to 350,000 in 1890,
and has distanced San Francisco.
Breslau used to be smaller than Cin
cinnati; it has now distanced it. Cleve

all in 1880 bigger than Cologne, but
Cologne was much the biggest in 1890.
Dresden is growing more quickly than

toward rescuing the youth of the city
from the enervating habit of smoking
the poisonous stuff. The provision that
no cigarettes shall be sold within 200
feet of a schoolhouse should be an
added safeguard for the children. The
purpose of this legislation is to drive
out of the business of selling cigarettes
those small dealers who, by reason of
convenient location, obtain their chief
patronage from the pupils of the public
schools. They have braztuly set up in
trade almost under the eaves of the
school buildings, and keep the tempta
tion to smoke the vile cigarettes con
stantly before the children. The cigar
ettes are so cheap that even a penny

the poorest of the boys are not debarred
from joining in the mental suicide. Ex
haustive investigation has demonstra
ted that the effect of the fumes on the
young mind Is disastrous. They sap
the physical vigor, undermine the Intel
lect, and finally tear down the moral
responsibility of the victim, leaving
him a wreck before the Journey of life
has fairly begun. The convenience and
ease with which the cigarettes can be
obtained are often the chief causi for
the first atep in using them, and for
the continuation of the habit. The first
puff, taken in bravado or a spirit of
mischief, perhaps, is quickly followed
by others, until the habit Is formed and
confirmed, and then the victim settles
down systematically to court hW Inev
itable doom with pitiful secrecy and
persistency. It baa been found Impos
sible to enforce the law forbidding the
sale of cigarettes to minora. It would
require an army of detectives to effect
the conviction of a dozen dealers a
year. But the Chicago Council has hit
on the one method by which the prac
tice may be stopped, or greatly cur
tailed, and tbat is the application of a
large license tax. This should drive

caliber stranded the

editor of a weekly paper went over to
the hotel and interviewed the leading
lady about the woes of her organiza
tion. He says: "She was as sweetly
fair as a poet's fondest dream. Her
cheek, tinted with the faint, delicate
pink of the seashel, was far more
beautiful than any rose. The smile
that curved her wine-red lips, the
roguish glance of ber dark-brown eyes,

respect, however, the situation in town

better It will be for printers and their

there are barristers at law who are

A novel experiment In co-operation
has been conducted by the Illinois Hall
way Company during the past three
years. Arrangements were made
whereby employes may become stock
owners In the railroad by the payment,
at convenient times, of five dollars or
more on Installments, to be held by the
company at 4 per cent, interest until
the amount is sufficient to pay for a
share of stock. It is stated that some
seven hundred employes have availed
themselves of this privilege, and that
one ht:tidred and thirty-eight officers
and men have so far taken out nine
In ndred and eighty-seven shares. The
f.oi-k is transferable on the books of the
company, and the owners are entitled
to vote at the annual meetings. The
money Invested can be withdrawn at
any time upon proper application.
Capt. Philo Norton McGlflln commit
ted suicide during a fit of Insanity In
New York hospital, a few days ago. He
was graduated at the Naval Academy
at Annapolis in 1882, and soon entered
the service of the Chinese Government.
He commanded the Chen Yuen, the
finest battleship of the Chinese navy,
at the battle of the Yalu, and brought
her back to port though she whs hit
more than four hundred times by Jap
anese guns. In the fight he was
knocked senseless by the premature
discharge of one of the Chen Yuen's
guns, but soon went on fighting; pres
ently he had to pull a great splinter
of wood from a shivered ladder out of
his thigh, but be continued to fight;
and he kept at it until the close of the
battle, In spite of a score of wounds.
On his return to this country he Insist
ed on treating himself, and his Insanity
was due to the sufferings he endured in
consequence.
A constitutional amendment Is under
consideration In California which, if it
works well, will 'be adopted elsewhere.
It proposes the division of each legisla
tive session Into two parts, separated
by an interval of three or four moutlis.
The Initial session, which is to convene
at the iwiial time, In January, ' to kist
only thirty days. At this session the
houses will organize and bills will be
Introduced ami referred to the appro
priate committees. At the second ses
sion no new bills in be Introduced ex-.-k4t
with consent of two-hirds of the
members, and the ehhtf business of the
sesKiooi will be the discussion and pass
age or rejection at the bills Introduced
at the fint sesskn. It its urged 'on be
lialf of the change that the evils of
hasty legislation would be greatly re
duced by the plan proposed. There
would in the three or four months In
tervening letween the introduction of
bills and the taking of action on the
same be pleuty of time for ntudy of
each measure In all Its bearings, not
only by the legislators themselves, but
also by their cotiis-tittients, aud by the
pre of the State. Under the present
system only a few of the hundreds of i
bills Introduced can by any possibility
be carefully studied before the neces
sity for voting upon them arrives. Any
thing tlint will reduce the output of
"half-baked" legislation would seem to

FIRE-ALARM BOXES.
fbe Mrctasalaai' that Kammsoa Hlp
In Caee of Klre.
Charles T. Hill contribute so article
entitled "An Alarm of Klrc by Tele
graph" to St. Nicholas, describing the
fire-alarm system of New York. Con
cerning the fire-alarm boxes, Mr. Hill
writes: This box forms part of a lamp
post, the post being so constructed that
the box is inserted In the nildd'.e. The
box Is painted a bright red, and the
lamp at night shows a red lighi, thus
making It easily discernible either by
day or night. The wires from the box
are conveyed down through the center
of the post to conduits buried in "the
street, and thence on to fire headquar
ters. White letters on a red pane of glass,
In the lamp over the box, give direc
tions how to send an alarm the same
directions In raised letters are found on
the face of the box. If we turn the
Urge brass handle on the outside as
far as it will go, a loud gong will ring
Inside. This is not the alarm, but sim
ply a warning bell to notify the po
liceman on the beat that th box if
being opened and to prevent the sen-ling
in of malicious or false alarms of
fire, an offense that is punishable In
New York State by a fine of $100 and
one year's Imprisonment. Turuiu this
handle as far as it will go opens the
outer door, and we find inside another
door, with a slot at the left hand side,
and at the top of this slot a hmik pro
jecting. By pulling down thU hook
once and releasing it, we set at "vork
certain clockwork niechnnlsin :usile,
and this sends in the alarm.
When the first officer arming at a
fire discovers that it is of enough im
portance to warrant his sendinc fnr re
Inforcements, he oim-iih this inr ; door

Swapping horses. It Is said, Is of nil
trades the most trying to men's hon
esty. Men wl,o can deal squarely under j
ordinary circumstances yield to the
temptation to get the best of a bargain
when It Is a question of horse-flesh.
Hence it Is a pleasure to read the fol
lowing anecdote, which proves the ex
ception to the rule:
Two gentlemen of Marshaltown, Va.,'
whom for convenience we will call Mr.
A. and Mr. S., met one day and agreed
to swap horses.
"I'll tell you what. John." said Mr.
A., "If you get the best of the trade,
you shall bring me two bushels of
wheat to bind the bargain, and if I
come out best, 111 do the same by you,
ehT
"That's a go," said Mr. S., "aud I 'low
you'll bring me the wheat."
"That's as It may lie," retorted Mr.
A. "But let it be agreed, then, that a
week from this afternoon the one that's
best suited, be it you or me, sliall give
t'other two bushels of whetit.'"
The week passed, the day came, and
as luck would liave It. Mr. A. and Mr.
S. met on Hie road about uildwoy be-
tween their respective homes.'
"Where to, John?" cried Mr. A., as
they stcfpixil o moment to chat.
"To your house with the two bushels
of wheat," replied Mr. S.
"Well, now, that's -good," remarked
Mr. A., "for I was on my way to your
hoiM ou the (anie crracd. 'l'ln!s horse
you let me have'eau f he ln-at."
"Just wliat I think of this nag." re
torted Mr. S., and then they had a
hearty laugV, and separated after ex
changing wheat.
How lo Cure Trouble.
Work is your true remedy. If mis
fortune hits you hard, hit you some
thing else hard; go ut something with
a will. There is nothing like good, sol
id, absorbing, exhausting work to cure j
trouble. If you have met with losses, j
vou do not want to He awake thinking j
alsut them. You want sweet, calm,
sound sleep, and to eat your dinner
with appetite. But you cannot unless
you work.
There are some great troubles that
only time heals, and perhaps some
that can never le healed at all; but all
can be helped by the great, panacea,
