the score each year.

Yeteveu the dreaded “open switch ” is not so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which, without ceasing its activity for an instant, is

swaying in the saddle, the blare and din, sooty clouds and the Are and smell of gunpowder. All this makes a fine picture; but the tragedy lies in the mind of each individual rider, who has risked his divinity in this hideous insanity of

•ar.

“Too many writers seem to think that tragedy consists solely of murders, accidents, suicide, flood, fire, slaughter, and the rattle of musketry. These things may be either the accompaniments, or the causes of tragedy, it is true, but the tragedy itself is invariably in the minds of the actors or onlookers. And there are the tragedies of quiet, ordinary life. There is the tragedy of noble purposes defeated. Tragedies are taking place every day between actors who do not move out of their chairs. Every doctor’s office, every lawyer’s sanctum, every court of law—every house in a large city has been at some time the scene of a tragedy. ‘All houses wherein men have lived and died are haunted houses.’ “A man may live a life tilled with tragedy and never go to the wars or get shipwrecked; indeed, he may never leave his study, his house, or his garden. All this is, of course, obvious; but oue would not imagine it to be so from a constant reading of the criticisms on the fiction which goes behind actions and discovers souls.”

Railway employes generally belong to a class with a very high percentage of color blind, and it may therefore, be assumed that some sixteen thousand of that number would have defective color vision. If properly exami*ed, says Loudon Truth, they would be excluded from positions in which color blindness is a source of great danger to life and property. As it is, a considerable portion of them remain active service. Putting it at a very low estimate, there must be at least four thousand men employed on railways who cannot distinguish between red and green signals. In other words, least one out of every hundred engine drivers, firemen, pointsmen, shunters and others directly connected with the passenger service Ls unfit for the work he has to perform.

those special coins that found their way back to the Bank of England were taken out of circulation, and 'before it was generally known that this was being done ninety per cent, of the coins, I fancy, had found their way into the maw of the old lady of Threadneedle

street.

I was among the few who had sense enough to keep a set. I had a fivepound sterling piece, a sovereign, a half-sovereign, a crown, a four-shilling piece, a half-crown, a two-shilling bit, one shilling, a sixpence, a fourpence, a threepence, a penny, a half penny and a farthing. They lay idle in a box in my dressing-case fo r nearly four years. thought nothing of them until one day last summer, having business in Glasgow, 1 went there. Here the jubilee coins were a great rarity, and I found that my collection, which amounted to seven pounds, five shillings, six pence, ha' penny, farthing, would bring something like twelve

pounds.

“Now, thinks I, I'll just make that five pounds like a wink, so 1 telegraphed my wife to forward the box of coins to me by express at once. The next day I got a letter from her inclosing a postal note for seven pounds, six shillings, and a note from the dear woman saying that as long as I was in need of the money she thought the let-ter-post quicker than the package-post, and had had my coins exchanged for a postal order, and added the change herself to make it even money. Mad? I was. I not only lost my five pound speculation, but I lost my jubilee coins as well; but, I say, it was rather thoughtful of her, you know, and under any other circumstances would have been very gratifying. ” “SUMER IS l-CUMEN IN.” OUIn*t Hone In the English Language

Written In 12'iO.

The oldest British song, taking the word British in its widest acceptation, and thus making it include Cymric and Gaelic, might, with about equal justice, be the Cymric battle song: “Godonin” iescribed by Henry Morley as “the most important fragment of what may represent the oldest Cymric literature” or the Gaelic description of the death of Oscar at the battle of Gabhra, which took place in 'J84 A. D. Of songs in the English lafiguage the oldest is “Beowolf,” a legendary heroic song originally brought to this country by the Angles and handed down from generation to generation as the lan-

guage developed.

The oldest song In the language that has come down to us with its musical setting is a “canon” or “round” called “Summer Is I-cutnen In,” arranged with considerable skill for six voices. The MS. is in the Harleian library, and the best authorities ascribe it to the aftthorship of John of Fonsete, a monk of Reading abbey, who is supposed to have written it about the year 1220. Here is the first verse of it:

Afraid of » Hlc; Magnot. We have heard of a hold and costly undertaking which an eminent personage, still living, projected in his youth, says the Saturday Review. He caused a magnet to be built of such size and power as had not yet been imagined. It was his intention to charge this gigantic object without witnesses, so as to enjoy the unparalleled result in selfish solitude. Happily, a great authority called at the moment and received an invitation to assist. When he saw the preparations his face paled. Neither he nor anyone else could foretell what would happen if that twenty-foot magnet were set to work; but it was probable, at least, that the house would fall. The thing still remains uncharged, or did a few years ago. A Wonderful Coincidence. A remarkable story, if true, is told in the Jeweler’s Weekly. A servant boy ,was sent to town with a valuable ring. He took it from its box to admire it, and passing over a bridge let it fall on a muddy bank. Unable to find it he ran away, wett to sea, flnn'ly settled in a colony, made a ior'-une, eddio back after many years and bought the estate on which he had been a servant. One day, while walking over his land with a friend, he came to the bridge and there told his story. “I could swear,” said he, pushing his stick into the mud, “to the very spot on which the ring dropped.” When he withdrew his stick the ring was on the end of it.

The Prince of W'ale* Delong* to the Mo-

hawk Tribe.

There is living in Europe a middleaged gentleman, who, many years ago, was elected a chief of the Mohawk tribe of Indians. This gentleman, says the New York World, not only comes from ancestry both old and powerful, but he is also heir apparent to one of the mightiest thrones in the world. He is Albert Edward, more familiarly known as the prince of Wales. When he becomes king of England he will doubtless be called Edward VII. In 1860 he visited the United States and Canada, and during that year occurred his election as an Indian chief. lie was probably' present at this in,cresting occasion and perhaps an Indian name was given to him. The Mohawk Indians, who thus honored the prince of Wales, are one of the famous Iriquois nations, and as a na tion their home is now in Canada. Their proper name is Agmegue orGagmegue. The celebrated Joseph Brant was a

Mohawk.

Does it not seem like fiction to read that a tribe of North American Indians can claim among those whom it has elected chief a man who not only’ comes from distinguished European ancestry but is himself the heir apparent to mighty European throne? Ktae Was I’c In Theory. “One day’,” writes a correspondent of the Boston Transcript, “my brother went to buy a bushel of buckwheat for sowing. lie found the man of whom he was going to buy the grain away; but his wife was at hom e and she undertook to make the sale. She got peck measure and they went to the granary. There the woman filled the mczAuxe twice, poured it into the hag which my’ broiheY |l.Cxd open, cii was ‘going to tie the bag and take the pay for a bushel. ‘But, Mrs. F.,’ said he, ‘it takes four peeks to make a bushel.’ ‘Oh, does it?’said she. ‘Well, you see, I never had any experience in measuring grain before I was married; I always taught schooL’ ” College Professorn in Spain. The professors in the colleges of Spain are miserably underpaid, often receiving no more than two hundred dollars per year. They endeavor to make a small profit out of their text books, each requiring his own book to be used. These books are frequently in manuscript, or, if printed, are sold at unusual prices. The students, also poor, resort in consequence to second-hand shops and the annual fair, where a specialty is made of college text books.

which the Boston Globe would imagine that among the Goths kissing went by favor. According to Prof. Skeat, writing with all the austerity and scholarship of an expert, a kiss is “a gust, a taste, a something choice.” Rowena, the beautiful daughter of Saxon Hengist, is credited with having introduced kissing into England, but it seems as if that, had the natives been so utterly unenlightened, the Romans could scarcely’ have failed to anticipate her. The Romans had really a delightful word for a kiss—osculura, which came from os, the mouth, and meant a little mouth, a sweet mouth. “Give me a sweet little mouth” would be the phrase used when a good little Roman boy asked his mother for a kiss. Our English word occurs pretty nearly’ in its present form in Anglo-Saxon, Dutch. Icelandic, Danish, Swedish and German. And this is worthy of note, because, natural as kissing may seem to be, it is a practice unknown to the Australians, to the Maoris of New Zealand, the Papuans of New Guinea, the people of Tabbati, the negroes of Central and South Africa, the Botocudos of Brazil, the savages of Terra del Fuego, Laplanders and the Esquimaux. Most of these benighted mortals have got beyond the low stage of rubbing noses together. Kissing points to an ancient discredited belief in a veritable union of spirits—a belief common to all the Aryan people that the breath of a man was his soul, his spirit. “Spirit” is “breath” and “ghost” is a "gust”—which possibly accounts for the cold air that is said to accom-

pany apparitions.

NATUREOPPOSED TO EXTREMES

Growing: Danger of Too Much Athleticism la American Colleges. There is a disposition among Americans to go to excess in everything they undertake. A generation ago athletic sports were almost unknown and the wise men predicted the extinction of the American. Now we have swung to the other extreme, and athletic sports are all the rage, especially among college students. It seems to the Altoona (Pa.) Tribune that many students are now devoting more attention to the development of muscle than to the accumulation of knowledge. The situation is a perplexing one to the authorities of the colleges, and they are now endeavoring to discover a method whereby students can be persuaded to take exercise moderately. There Is need for action of this sort. Too much athleticism is even more dangerous than too little. There •lunger in overtraining of the body. All the noted athletes have either died young or broken down before they reached middle life. Nature does not take kindly to either extreme, physical or intellectual development, and those who press her too far must pay the penalty. We may well rejoice that the day has vanished When a pale face, dull eyes and a weak chest were the signs of knowledge, but we will do well to guard against the other extreme which regards physical culture as the most important thing in life. The young people who attend our institutions of learning should be encouraged to take plenty of physical exercise; their inclination toward outdoor games should not be frowned upon, but they should he held to moderation and to such a wise division of their time as will enable them to devote proper attention to their

studies.

The relegation of the married flirt to her proper sphere and duties is beyond the power of any single individual. Society could make the necessary protest, but it does not, for, according to the North American Review, if society is anything, it is noninterfering. It looks well to it, that the outside, the general public appearance of its members, is respectable; with faults not found out it does not trouble itself. A charge must be definitely made before it feels any necessity to take cognizance of it; and society knows well that these married sirens draw like magnets. Besides, each entertainer declares: “I am not my sister’s keeper, nor am 1 her in quisitor or confessor. If her husband tolerates the pretty woman’s vagaries what right have I, what right has anyone, 1o say a word about her?” But is a fact, that if society frowned on wives who arrogate to themselves the privilege both of young girls and w’ives, the custom would become stale and offensive. If it would cease to recognize young married women who are on the terms with their husbands described by Millament in “The Way of the World” —“as strange as if they had been married a long time, and as well bred as if they had never been married at all, young married women would behave themselves better.
