appreciate those beauties, the beauties are
no longer created for you, Btyle suffers be
cause readers read too fast to enjoy the
style, and beautiful writing Is becoming
more nnd more rare. Some men there

como themselves stylists and literary ais-

Come, aud to an aching heart
Bring thy healing balm;
Como, and still the tempest, love,
To tho deepost calm.

Make a sweet refrain.
Come, and through the sunset cloud*

Cost of Uuniiing a Locomotive.
“How much does It cost to run a loco
motive?” said a railroad man. “Well, more
than you would think. If a locomotive
were starting out on a 100 mile run and
you were asked what the cost of the run
would be to tho company, the chances are
that you would say about $10. But it
costs a little more than 30 cents a mile to
run a locomotive, on an average. Nearly
8 cents of this is for fuel, 1% cents for pay
of engineer and fireman, a half cent for oil
and waste, and more than 4>4 cents for re
pairs. A ton of coal will run a locomo
tive twenty-four miles, a pint of oil will
run eleven miles, and a pound of waste
123 miles. The locomotives of a railway
like the Northwestern run half a million
of miles a month.”—Chicago Herald

' High Prices for Tall Footmen.
In England the footmen are usuaUy
great strapping fellows, selected for their
height and the size of their calves. A tall
one fetches more than a short one, and
many ladies are particular that they shall
be good looking. In great establishments
there is one called “her ladyship’s foot
man," for especial attendance on his mis
tress, and she naturally likes him to be
presentable. The advertisements always
mention if a man is more than six feet
high, for every inch is worth at least a
pound a year in ills wages—Chicago
Herald.
A Titled Woman In Spain.
Spanish law, which permits n woman on

bestow her title upon her untitled hus

conde, they are all called duqueso, mar-

rioroe and the Alguni'nlc Problem.
Ex-Presidont Franklin Pierce onco
taught in Oxford county. A problem In
algebra was brought to Mr. Pierce by a
scholar, with the request that he give aid
In solving It. He took tho problem and
worked on it a long time, and, being un
able to solve tt, gave the scholar a lecture
on perseverance and udvised him to work
It out himself. That night tlio young
schoolmaster workod at his room until a
very late hour on the problem, but with
out success. Finally iu a sort of mental
abstraction ho got up and commenced
pacing the room. While so doing he no
ticed a small closet near the side of a
himney; opening this and exploring Its
interior he found a torn and wrinkled
piece of paper with figures on it. Taking
I it out he found that tho figures on that
piece of paper wero the solution of the
' very problem which had perplexed him so
greatly.—Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
Monoy anil a Decoration.
' I know of a pianist who, nt one of those
small German courts, playod one evening
no less tiian nine pieces. At the end of
the week he was asked which he wonld
prefer, 200 marks (£10,) or a present. He,
imagining that the present would be a
diamond pin, which he could show, said he
left it to her highness to give him a suit
able souvenir. And her highness, im
mensely pleased to see so much talent
combined with so much dislntoresteddess,
was graciously pleased to invite him to
tea, et—voila tout. But his misadventure
bore good fruit, for another pianist to
whom he told his story, und who also
i played at court, when he was asked
i whether he would prefer a decoration or
j 200 marks, replied: “A cross (of the order
proposed] costs 15 or 16 marks, let us say
20. So give me the order and 180 marks,
and wo'U cry quits."—Temple Bar.

From the Carlb Word “Amorlo.”
Jules Marcode, a French geographer and
ethnologist, attempts to prove that the
name of our continent is not dorlved from
“Amerigo" Vespuci, but from the Carlb
word omeric, signifying a chain of steep
hills. On the coast of Nicaragua there are
several ridges ol that name, which Colum
bus himself mentions in one of his reports
from the harbor Of Las Huertas, and
which first was applied only to a small
district of Central America. Vespuol's
baptismal name was Alberigo, but a
German map publisher, Martin Malzmtil-
ler, mistook the already current geogra
phical term for a tribute to the merits of
the famous explorer, and proposed to ex
tend its application to oil tho vast terri
tories which tho Spaniards themselves at
first comprised under the collective
name of NseYa Bspana, or Las India*

Marriage Licenses for Old People.
O, yes, I often issue marriage Ucousos to
very old peoplo. A majority of men who
apply for licenses are aged between 20 und
29, and women between ill nnd 28 years. I
have issued licenses to very young people,
but more frequently to very old peoplo, ns
far as the matter of extremes Is concerned.
It often occurs that moil ovor (30 years of
age gut licenses to marry women very near
I their own ago, and not long ago 1 Issued a
license to n man 71 year* old who dosired
to marry a woman of 05. I find old peoplo
just as enthusiastic on tho subject of
marrying, nnd just as shy withal, as young
people. Why shouldn't they he? Old peo
ple generally marry for companionship,
and I think they are right about it.—Globe-
Democrat Interview.
I Stonewall .Iwkiaii ami Gen. Gregg,
j The death of Cion. Stonewall Jackson’s
famous wnr horse was appropriately oelo-
bratod at tho Soldiers’ home, ucross tho
. Potomac, by the half-masted tlag. A true
| hero had ba-:trodo hhn, and never was
horse more dutiful to his rider. After the
battleof Fredericksburg Gen. Jackson was
lteplng hi his tent. About dawn of the
uext day the general's faithful colored
man, Jlra, who was the exact hue of tho
ite "(1 ho groomed, roused his master and
said: “Marsc Ihomns, Gon. Muxey Gregg
-tends word bo’s going to die before morn
ing and wants you to come and see him.
He’s sorry for that impulsive note ho wrote
you andjatks your pnrdou. I’se got your
horse ready.” Jackson jumped up
promptly ami said: "Jim, I will go at once.
God bless Gen. Gregg and save him.”
As Jackson was about to mount, ho saw
that the horse was not his old sorrel, and
complained about it. Jim promptly an
swered: “Ho was not iltten for you, gen
eral. You rode him nil day yesterday and
he’s not kitten. But just as soon us tho
first bung (bomb] bursts, I’ll have him
for you sure. ’—Washington Cor. Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle.
Tlio First Blood of tlio War.
When, on the night of April 18, 1801, the
Pennsylvania troop.' filed into the rotunda,
they were followed by tlie customary
black man, who in (Juice days attended
military organizations to carry tho target.
This descendant ol' Ethiopia had been
roughly handled by the Baltimore liood-
uins, and when ho outcrodthe rotunda ho
gazed around with an air of satisfaction,
| as though ho thought that at Inst he wns
;sate. Taking off his cap, he pulled from
] his head a hnndkoreliiof saturated with
I blood from a wound Inflicted with n brick,
I and as bo went through the rotunda the
‘ blood dropped from the handkerchief along
; the stone lloor.
. This was the first blood of the wnr. f
I narrated the incident to Governor Curtin,
of Boston, the following yeur. Ho ex-
] pre3Sod surprise that lie had never heard
uf it, und on his return sent one of his staff
| to Pottersville to see if the colored man
was still there. He found him rejoicing in
■ tlio name of Nicholas Biddle, and he hail
iliim photographed, kindly sending me one
, of the photos.—Ben Perloy l’oore in Uos-

Laboucliere's CUiu-noturlatlo Cullgrupliy-
Any morning before 12 you may see the
master of this cl lumber drawn up in a low
elmir before a divine fire, smoking ciga
rette after cigarette; on the table by his
: side piles of letters to right, piles of manu
script to left—und what manuscript! clean
note paper half-sheets, at a distance cov
ered with mysterious, labyrinthine-looking
caligruphy. Then when you do got to see
it closer it is zig-zaggy, but sure, roaming
up arid down with insolent assurance, each
word encroaching jealously on its neigh-
! bor’s space, but oaclf just what it should
| be. ' Tho linos have no erasures, scarcely a
! comma or “full stop," as they cull periods
in London. The whole Is ns characteristic
of the man himself as can be, and quite tho
sort of copy you would expect this inexpli
cable genius to turn out. Lubby writes
- quickly, lightning-likely, anil uses stylo-
graphic pens without number-the only
: ones, by the way, I have seen always in
I working order.—Blanche Roosevelt's liet-
i ter.
