Not to Marry Shop Girls.
Factory and shop girls are rated be-
low par in the matrimonial market of
Kewanee, Ill., according to a special
correspondent of the Chicago Journal.
According to report an organization of
men has been formed to discourage
sweatshop work among the young wo-
men. Each member is pledged not to
marry a young woman employed in
places such as mentioned. The men
argue that factory and shop work un-
fit young women for household duties.
The young women who stick close to
the precepts of housekeeping are the
ones whose names are likely to ap-
pear in the marriage notices hereafter.

Educational statistics state that there
were six electic schools in the United
States last year, with 147 instructors
and 338 students. The schools are
principally situated in Massachusets.
Tie eclectics were ancient phloso-
pliers, who, without attaching them-
selves to any sect, chose what they
judged good from each. The name
was applied to a Christian sect, who
considered the doctrine of Plato con-
formable to the spirit of Christianity.

Bullets of Pure Gold.
In the early days of mining in Mexi-
co, California and Ballarat, when
men’s pockets were stuffed with gold
dust, and every man carried a loaded
revolver, it was a common thing to
make the bullets of solid gold, and
many a miner has gone to his grave
with a gold bullet in his heart through
being indiscreet enough to take part
in a tavern brawl. It would tax hu-
man ingenuity to discover any metal
of which bullets have not been made

In these days of Maxims and quick-
firing rifles, when, as at Modder river,
a million bullets are fired in a single
engagement, the game of war is suffi-
ciently costly without the extrava-
gance of bullets molded from precious
metals, or carrying precious stones in
their center; and yet, in olden times,
small mines of gold and silver have
been shot away from pistols and flint-
locks. When the civil war was raging
in England and Cromwell seemed to
bear a charmed life, thousands of bul-
lets were molded in silver, in the hope
of laying the future protector low; for,
to the superstitious, a silver bullet
brings death far more certainly than
one of baser metal. When, iw 1796,
the great Napoleon led hie armies into
Italy “to find honor and fame and
wealth,” the very silver from the al-
tars of Italian churches was coined
into bullets and carried death to
thousands of Austrians and Sardini-
ans. When the Princess Conde and
her troops were shut in Amadangar
and surrounded by Akbar’s army she
resisted gallantly until the last cannon
ball and bullet had been fired, and then
used every ounce of gold and silver
in her capital to feed her guns, inscrib-
ing on each bullet a malediction to
hurl at the enemy.
World to End this Year.
This is the rcent decision of one
of the societies of the world, and while
there are few people who believe this
prediction, there are thousands of oth-
ers who not only believe, but know
that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will
cure dyspepsia, indigestion, constipa-
tion or liver and kidney troubles. A
trial will certainly convince.
lation of carefully collected evidence
on this point proves conclusively that
there are, as a matter of fact, only two
articles of his ordinary menu which
the shark is able to capture alive—an
occasional unwary sea fowl, which he
may happen to surprise asleep on the
surface of the water, and the ugly oc-
topus-like squid, whose limited powers
of locomotion give a chance to our
hungry four-knot prowler. The shark,
then, so far from being the gore-eyed
pirwate which the novelist paints him,
is a mere hard-working, commonplace
drudge, and as such deserves, if not
kindness, at any rate toleration. But
this, much misunderstood fish that he
is, is just what he never gets. The
sailor looks upon him as a hereditary
foe, against whom he has a death feud,
and upon whose carcass, When it
sprawls and flaps defenseless on the
deck, any cruelty, no matter how re-
volting, is lawful. And Jack—untaught
child of nature as he is—can be fiend-
ishly cruel when he is in the vein, and,
with thoughtless good humor, will
practice the most atrocious barbar-
ities on the captured shark and no more
.realize that he is being cruel than a
child who pulls the legs off a fly.
at one time or another. They have
been fashioned in iron and aluminum,
copper and brass, silver and gold.
They have been steeped in deadly
poisons, filled with acids and explo-
sives of every kind, and made heavy
with mercury. And these metals have
by no means always been used in con-
ventional bullet form. When Badajos
was stormed in the peninsular war a
British colonel was shot through the
heart with a silver pencil case; and
quite recently when a backwoods
storekeeper shot a neighbor in a fit of
anger a one-fourth ounce brass weight
was found for a bullet in the man’s
body.
Even costly stones have been used
as ammunition in more than one war,
notably on the Indian frontier. When
Englishmen were fighting some years
ago in Kashmir many of them were
wounded or killed with leaden bullets
which carried garnets at their core.
The conventional sword and bayonet
have had many rough substitutes in
war. In the English civil war hun-
dreds of rustics marched to. battle
carrying scythes, pruning hooks, flails,
pick axes and blacksmith’s hammers;
and in the present war it is said that
some of the enterprising Boers im-
provised bayonets out of broom han-
dles and swords or daggers.
Fought with Feet and Fists.
At least one regiment has gone into
a fierce action armed with nothing
more deadly than feet and fists, and,
what is more remarkable, came out of
it almost unscathed. It was in the
civil war in this country, when the
federal movement from Nashville
brought on the sanguinary fight of
Murfreesboro. A Mississippi regiment,
which had been isolated from the
camp through an attack of measles,
had given up their weapons to arm the
shoals of recruits who were pouring
in. When they were ordered into po-
sition for the battle they were abso-
lutely unarmed, and when the order
came to “Charge!” they rushed at the
enemy with “shouts and fists.” So
gallant did they acquit themselves
that, when the battle was over, nearly
every man in the regiment was found
in possession of weapons which they
had wrested from the enemy or bor-
rowed from a fallen friend.

Municipal expansion began with
Philadelphia. As originally laid out
.by William Penn, the city was two
miles long and one mile wide. Town-
ship after township was annexed, till
at last the city boundaries coincided
with those of a county twenty-two
miles long. Boston overran the old
county lines and took in five outlying
towns. Greater New York and Chi-
cago now exceed in area and popula-
tion some European principalities. In
each ease consolidation has been ac-
complished by the joint action of city
and suburbs, with legislative authori-
zation. But the problems of city gov-
ernment grow in complexity as the
cities grow in size.

with a circumference at the rim of
three feet. It stands on a pedestal
of black marble, inlaid with gold, with
the royal arms on one face and those
of the corporation of Dublin on an-
other. - - • »

A notable sign of the times in Cuba
is seen in Spanish immigration. In
the first four months of this year
nearly six thousand Spaniards came
.over from Spain, to settle in the isl-
jand. It is also observed that few of
.the Spaniards who were in Cuba be-
'tore and during the war have departed
(because of the change of government.
They, as well as the new immigrants,
seem to have faith in the peace and
prosperity of the island. Doubtless
this is largely because the power of
the United States is exerted in Cuba,
to restrain party hatreds and to pro-
mote the general welfare. That fact
is a fine tribute to the beneficence of
our intervention in Cuban affairs. It
also fixes upon us a heavy responsi-
, bility for the future of the island.
New York Merchants’ Kate.
The New York Merchant's associa-
tion rate is at the present moment de-
cidedly interesting to the passenger
departments of the different roads.
For some time back the St. Louis
merchants have obtained concessions
so that Texas merchants could secure
a cheap rate. Enterprising St. Louis
merchants would send Texans free
tickets and entertain them on arrival
in the Mound City.
Very naturally New York was at a
disadvantage in this line and sought
relief. The trunk lines and the South-
eastern passenger associations refused
to come to the assistance or relief of
New York, so the Southern Pacific,
which gets a large volume of freight
out of New York to Texas. concluded
to assist the New York merchants and
made a rate of a fare and a third on
the certificate plan.
And here the trouble commenced.
Certain lines, members of the South-
western association, announced the
special rate, but subsequently with-
drew it.
The fight involves freight revenues,
because it was announced that the
Merchants’ association in consideration
of the stand taken by the Southern
Pacific, would route freight by that
line.
Following is the circular issued by
the New York Merchants’ association:
Announcement to all merchants in
the State of Texas: The Merchants’
association of New York made appli-
cation to the Southwestern passenger
bureau for reduced rates from the
State of Texas for merchants desir-
ing to come to New York to make their
fall purchases. The application was
denied.
The Southern Pacific company,
which has shown a friendly disposition
towards New York, has made a rate
whereby merchants can come to this
city for one fare and one-Third for the
round trip via the New Orleans gate-
way. This will be for direct through
travel from all points on the line of
the Southern Pacific company in Tex-
as. These rates will be good for mer-
chants, members of their immediate
families and buyers. The Merchants’
association will require all merchants
who may be able to take advantge of
this action on the part of the Southern
Pacific company to register their tick-
ets at the rooms of the Merchants’ as-
sociation, 346 Broadway, New York
City, and to place their freight in tie
bands of the Merchants' association
for home routing, the latter body also
agreeing to take care of the marine
insurance, without extra charge.

Automobile Fatalities.
Many serious automobile accidents
have recently happened in New York.
A doctor’s assistant was killed by a
head-on collision with one of the ma-
chines while riding his bicycle and a
prominent citizen met his death
through his automobile running away.
It refused to answer to the controlling
lever, reached a speed of thirty miles
an hour and then struck the curb,
throwing out its occupants. The ma-
chine continueud its erratic course
down the street and was finally
stopped by people who threw obstruc-
tions in front of it. The wheels kept
on turning just the same till the power
was exhausted. The machine was not
hurt.
Now Chicago is doing the handsome
thing! Accused of poisoning St.
Louis’ water supply by running the
drainage canal to the Mississippi, Chi-
cago promoters have engineered a
$30,000,000 deal to bring water seventy
miles from the Ozark mountains to St.
Louis, and so furnish that city with
what it has never had—a real pure
supply. This is well as well as mag
nanimous.
ICH
Hard lines this! Because in reality
this blue water bogey is a humble and
useful public servant, who performs
uncomplainingly the duties connected
with the sanitation- of the seas. The
shark is the common scavenger and
general undertaker of the ocean. He
is not, and, for reasons connected with
his very moderate speed limit, never
can be, primarily, a fish of prey. Open
any captured shark and you will find
clear proof that this is so. A few tang-
led bits of rope yarn, a battered corned-
beef tin, a corked bottle containing an
insulting message to the finder (thrown
overboard by some nautical wag), or
a sailor’s cap which has been lost in a
gale, all tend to show that the shark
is a fish of business-like habits, with
a keen eye to chance windfalls that may
come his way; but the most digestible
contents of his stomach, consisting
mainly of carrion of every kind, all
give the clearest olfactory evidence
that the original owners of them were
not alive when this marine sanitary
