STAR ROUTE FRAUDS.
The report of the house committee
shows that the service of the Mineral
Park and Brooch route was expedited tiil
It cost 160,000 a year, whereas the emol
umen'sof all the offices on the route were
only $761 a year at first, and afterwards
#579. For 39 days not a single letter or
paper passed over this route. The con
tractor on another route carried the on
tire mail in his bootleg, and received
150,000 n year. The pay of certain con
tractors on certain routes was raised from
$11,135 a year to 1418,670. The reve
nuea from the offices which depended
altogether on these routes wero #10,297
for the first twelve months, #13.16*
for the second, and #11,622 for
the third. On the rou e from Las Vegas,
New Mexico, to Vcnito, Indian Territory,
the pay was raised from #6,3’30 to f130,-
888 a year. The revenues f rom all the
ofil os which depended altogether on
-that route wero sls for the first year,
$216 for the second, and 230 for the next
nine u outha. Some of the offices could

to his face with his hands, and sloshed it

was too bard for us and that if such was
the fact even, we were not aware of it.

OLD MAIDS-WHY?
Women become old maids for various
reasons. Some decide what kind of a
man would suit them, but no suitor comes
up to their standard, and they live single
rather than take one who falls below it.
Some are rudely awakened from love's
young dream, by finding that he on whom
I they have lavished their affections has
I proved false, or in some way unworthy,
i and conclude that all men are undeserving
i of a woman’s lure. Some think courtship
! mor? pleasant than marriage, flirt till
' they become wrinkled and unlovely, and
! go to their graves in a ‘ sour grapes" *

KEELY’S STRANGE MOTOR.
John W. Keely, the inventor of the
Keeiy motor, who has denied himself to
all interviews for four years, explained at
length to-day the wonderful experiments
with his new motor gun, which were
made at Sandy Hook on Saturday at the
expense of the government. “Stripping
the process of all technical terms,” said
the inventor, “the motor gun is simply
this. I take water and air, two mediums
of different specific gravity, and produce
from them by generation and effect un
der vibration that liberates from the air
and water an interatomic ether, lie
energy of ibis effect is boundless andean
hardly be comprehended. The specific
gravity of the ether is about four times
lighter than that of hydrogen gas, the (
lightest gas so far discovered.
The gun I used at Sandy Hook was a
breech-leading rifle, weighing 500 lbs.
It was specially constiutfted forme. Il
was four feet long and had a four inch
bore. On Wednesday last I charged my
tube, a five gallon reservoir of wrought
iron, one and a half inches thick, with
etheric vapor. Then I boxed it up. and
did not even test it, so certain was I of
its power. For three hours before the
experiment it remained untouched in my
shop. The process cf charging it con
sumed less than four seconds of time.
"You could not guess how much mate
rial was used in making the vapor. To
prtj :<:t twenty leaden bullets, each weigh
ing nearly five ounces, at a velocity of
over 500 feet a second, there was required
six drops of water and about a pint of
air. From this combination I derived
sufficient force tq fire 250 bullets of the
weight of these used, and the most curi
ous thing about it all is that I found at
the end of my experiments that I had
increased the power in my tube instead
of diminishing it, just as a race horse
needs to be warmed up before be can do
1 imselfjustice. The initial velocity of
the last bullet, was more than that of the
first one. I can take the same tube and
operate it anoti er day.”
"Have you ever estimated the power
of your interatomic ether?” was asked.
"I have produced frequently,” was (he
answer, “a | ressure cf 10,COO pounds to
the square inch in a quarter of a second.
The precess in reality is instantaneous
I have succeeded in making n vacuum ol
thir y-onc pounds of pressure. The
steal coil attached to the gun increases
the intensity of the vibration fifteenfold.
After the ether is introduced into the
weapon behind tin projectile the vibra
tions liberate it, it expands, and the bul
let is pro; el'ed out with great force, fmr
times us great, as I said, as that of gun
powd t. 1 have suecet ded in generating
n pressure of 56,000 to the inch, and 1
have torn a Shaw gauge to pieces under
the immense pressure. I have propelled
a lead bullet through a four irch plunk
of wend. In this instance, after pass
ing through the wood so great was the
force ol its progress it flattened itself out
the size of a plate.”— Rome Cou ier.
ILL-TEMI’ER.
If people generally knew what an
advantage to them it was to be cheerful,
there would be fewer sour faces in the
world and it.finitely less ill-tempo*. A
man never gains anything by exhibiting
hi» annoyance by Lis face, much less by
buisting into passion, zks it is neither
manly nor wise to yield like a child
pettishly to every cross, so it is alike
foolish and absurd to allow feelings of
anger to deprive us of self-control. There
never was a ni:n in any controversy who
lost Lis temper who did not come near
losing his cause in consequence. If'ever
a person plays the game of hisanetuies it
is when he is in a passion. Acquaintances
’ shun men of proverbally ill-ten per;
friends drop away from them; eten wives
and children gradually learn to fear them
more than to love. Thousands of men
owe their want of success in life to
neglec'ing the control of their temper.
, Nor have they the excuse that is an
infirmity which cannot be restrained; for
' Washington, though naturally of a most
passionate disposition, disciplined him
self until he passed for a person utterly
iuipm-sive. No man who neglects his
temper can be happy any mere than he
can make those happy around. Good
temper is gold, is beyond price. Bad
' temper is a curse to the possessor and to
society. Marietta Jvurn.d.

BE A LADY’.
Wildness is a thing girls cannot afford.
Delicacy is a thing which cannot be lost
and found. No art ean restore to the
grape its bloom. Familiarity without
love, without confidence, without regard,
is destructive to all that makes woman
ennobling.
“The world is wide, these thing* are rmall;
They may be nothing, but theyare all.”
Nothing? It is the first duty of a
woman to be a lady. Good breeding is
good morality. Awkardness may be in
eradicable. Bashfulncss is constitutional.
Ignorance of etiquette is the result
of circumstances. All can be condoned,
and do not banish man or woman from
the amen-ties of their kind. But self
possessed unshrinking and aggressive
coarseness of demeanor may be reckoned
as a state prison offense, aud certainly
merits that mild form of restraint called
imprisonment for life. It is a shame for
women to be lectured on their manners
It is a bitter shame that they need it.
Women arc the umpires of society- It
is they to whom all mooted points should
be releired. To be a lady is more than
to be a prince. A lady is always, in her
rights, inalienably worthy of respect. To
a la''y, a prince and peasant alike bow.
The natural sentiment of man toward
weman is reverence. A man's ideal is
not wounded when a woman fails in
worldly wisdom; but if in grace, in tact,
in sentiment, in delicacy, in kindness, she
should be found wanting, he receives an
inwtrd hurt. — Marietta Journal.
