COUCH OF LUXURY. Tb moit perfect resting place ever devised for a human being Is Just beneath the roof, and then you must be able to see the siiingle nails sticking through. Sf a gentle rain be falling, o much the belter. Five minutes pent In that sweet retreat axe enough to banish the memory of every trouble. Debt and death' lose their terrors, and Ihe peace that pass-es understanding jcomes upon you, says the Washington Post. Yoj become a boy again and nter onco more Into the world that psed to be. Soon the dark corners of le room are peopled with the images of childhood. Over where the old clothes are hanging ycrj ran see the outlines of a dismantled ship, while down the sandy shore ccne Robinson jCni3oe and Man Friday. A swarthy face peeps from behind the big trunk, at la Faringhea, the strangler, creepstealthily upon his victim. FastJer and faster they come, some pleasing; sorn.? ferocious. You welcome them all and are not a bit afraid, and (the rain drips, drips, with a steady, Monotonous sound. Then comes a Wank. Next morning , the spell is Ibroken, but the memory remains. You jeae the old clothes and the trunk, and jfind that the only gobelin tapestry in Ithe room Is a cluster of cobwebs over kfce little dormer window. But you pad slept the sleep of the just, and pond it most refreshing. I The passenger traffic between the jUnlted States and Europe continues to offer most alluring inducements. Many ef the big companies are ad Airs the newest, largest and swiftest vi-ssels to jUieJr fleets. One of the latest launchSnrs is that of a ship that is beingtrailt by a French line, to run to New aork. Thl3 la one of the greatest craft ret completed, and when put in commission will be able to carry 2,020 passengers. The total cost will be about 5.000,000. Th?.t is what foreign conpsrns are doing- to get American trade. (And American permit them to monopolize a business that should be la American control and which should be a most important auxiliary in excluding American commerce. t English owners of homing pigeons have lost so many of them this season jthat they believe there Is an especial fcause. This rause, many of them are Inclined to suspect, is wireless telegraphy. Many will dismiss the Indictment as fanciful, on account of the ro-tparative weakness of the current Which wireless telegraphy brings Into play. The answer to this is that the rarrent does not kill the birds, but pnly confuses them, causing them to rulsa their way. If the Marconi current; affects pigeons, why not gulls? Indeed, it would seem not Impossible that wireless telegraph stations may be the means of greater disaster to fulls than llghtbauses. From London comes tho announcecient of the death of the woman who tlalmed to be the original of "Little porTlf that famous character of Pickens. The lady was entitled to the benefit of the doubt, tut it Is a fact that similar claims have been made by ethers. It is also asserted that a brother of the woman vho has Just died was the original "Tiny Tim," and at he served In part as the model for fPaul Dombey." If all those asser ttons can be proved It would seem that the family formed a sort of trust for Dickens characters. 4 Perhaps if the truth were known a considerable proportion of the socalled automobile "accidents" would be found to have resulted from befuddled heads and unsteady nerves. The menace of a, man under the inJfluenceof liquor and in an automobil Js easily appreciated, and when it is Idemonstrated that crashes on the road are due to drunkenness the pun Jahment should be severe. Those who Insist upon running amuck on tho "highways should be made to pay a heavy penalty, whether they be sober jot drunk., ! I i The usual fate of get-rlct -quick jBchemea is collapse at the end. And jChe "lambs" are fleeced as a preliminary. A speculative scheme of this 3nd In Connecticut has brought up jfcn the bankruptcy court, with unsejcared claims of $500,000 to be sot .tied. And the further sequel no doubt will be the charging of the sum to tie profit and loss account of those foolish enough to "invest." I A German musician says that our craze for ragtime is the great obstacle to creative work In American music. Ragtime? Sounds like a faint echo from oui past. Our friend must have got his Idea from old newspaper files. , Among airmen excessive avolrdupoise Is at a discount, most of the success, fol atmosphere navigators being physical lightweights. In this as in some other matters good goods often come in small packages. There is a man In California who rent to sleep on a railroad track, was rtruck by a fast train and escaped With a headache. To complete the simple beauty of this tale, we are pleased to add that the locomotive is also doing well. One by one the comic supplement Jokes come true. In Detroit a henpecked llontamer has really taken refuge from his wife by sleeping In tho cage. New York has discovered aphani(:omenon In the city water pipes, and s scared.

BRAZIL YIELDS TO

MUTINOUS TARS

Navy Men Are Granted Amnesty by Congress. FIGHT IS SHORT AND SHARP Higher Pay, Shorter Hours and Abolition of Corporal Punishment Won by Sailors Who Revolted. Rio de Janeiro. The mutiny among the sailors of Brazil's navy s at and end, President Fonseca laving signed the measure adopted by congress granting the mutinous sailrs amnesty and all other demands. ' The senate had voted on Thursday .0 grant the demands of the rebellious lavy. The chamber of deputies hesl.ated longer than the upper house, but reached a favorable decision after a stormy and acrimonious debate by a rote of 114 to 23. The victory of the sailors, which as gained only after they had killed tour superior officers, among them tho ptaln of the battleship MInas Gueras, means for them increased pay, shorter lours of work through larger crews, ind the abolition of corporal punishment. xThe news of the passage of the imnesty proposition was conveyed to the mutineers by wireless, they having ieparted from the harbor. While the revolt lasted the people 3f the city were kept in a state of suspense, fearing that the mutineers would make good their threat to blow up the capitox unless their wishes were met. It Is doubtful, however, that they woald have taken this step in any event because of the likelihood of complications with Great Britain. There Is no attempt to glTe a po-' litical color to- the revolt, as only petty navy officers participated with the sailors, but the mutinous ships constituted a controlling proportion of the fleet. Brazil has but two dreadnoughts, the MInas Geraes and the Sao Paulo, and these being joined by the coast defense ships Marshal Floriano and Marshal Deodora and the scout ship Bahia, the possessors were, in practical control of the fleet, and If necessary to accomplish their ends probably could have made short work of the smaller craft, consisting of six protected cruisers, three torpedo 1 cruisers and several vessels of the gunboat class. The trouble among the sailors had been brewing for some time, and when the MInas Geraes ran up the red flag Tuesday night the other vessels soon followed her example. INDICT FOUR IN I. C. CASE. ' Grand Jurg Votes True Bills Against Ex-Officials of Road. Chicago.

Two counts in a blanket indictment also contain charges of a confidence game. Each defendant's bond is fixed at $20,000. The names of the Ostermann Manufacturing company, the Bluo Island Car and Equipment company, the Memphis Car company and the American Car and Equipment company are mentioned in the Indictment KILL ELEPHANT WITH POISON. 600 Grains of Cyanide of Potassium Given to Gypsy Queen. New York. It took 500 grains of cyanide of potassium to kill Gypsy Queen, a trick elephant, in execution of the death sentence passed on her for the murder of her keeper, Robert Schiel. Less than om grain of cyanide of potassium is fatal to a man and the first convulsive symptoms supervene almost before the victim can set down the glass from which he swallows. But the Queen swayed backward and forward, flapping her big ears, for ten minutes before she showed the least uneasiness, and it was 44 minutes before she was pronounced dead. The poison wijs given her in three pallfuls of bran mash in which had been sprinkled 100 capsules, each of five grains of cyanide. She had been starved for 24 hours and ate greedily.

HITCHCOCK WILL URGE PARCELS POST TRIAL

Postmaster General Will Ask Congress for Special Appropriation to Experiment on Rural Routes. Washington. A limited parcels post for the rural free delivery routes will be recommended by Postmaster General Hitchcock In the forthcoming annual report. He believes that as soon as the postal savings system Is thoroughly organized the postofflce department should be prepared to establish throughout the country a general parcel post. As the preliminary step in the development of such a service he hopes congress will authorize the delivery on rural routes of parcels weighing as high as eleven pounds which is the weight limit for the international parcel post u A rural parcel post of the kind proposed if successfully conducted, he says, would probably lead to a more general system. Mr. Hitchcock believes, however, that before the parcel service is extended to the whole country definite Information should be obtained as to the nature and value of the business to be handled. He accordingly urges a further Inquiry and a special appropriation to pay Its expenses. LIVESTOCK EXPOSITION OPENS. Record-Breaking Crowds Attend Big Show at Chicago. Chicago.

The building was extremely inflammable and the first gush of flames cut aft all possible escape by the stairways. Tho elevators made one trip but took down no passengers.

STEEL SAFES ON MOTOR CAR

Fleet-Footed Bank Messenger With Satchel Gives Way to Up-to-Date Conveyance. Boston is In advance of every other city in the country in the extent to which her banking and financial interests have made use of the motor car as a vehicle for the transportation of coin, currency, bullion and securities. - A number of the Boston banks have adppted motor cars as a conveyance for bank messengers and collectors on their rounds of visits to other banks and to business houses of all kiuds. However, this innovation marks the culmination of a gradual evolution. Time was, and not so very long ago, either, when the financial Mercury, satchel In hand, made all his trips afoot or on the street cars, but this plan is now almost obsolete. One argument for a change of method arose from the ease with which certain robberies of bank messengers were perpetrated in various large cities, when messengers were traversing congested thoroughfares unattended. The special bank cars do not vary greatly in outward appearance- from the general run of high class delivery cars such as are used by jewelers, florists, etc., in all the principal cities. Their distinctive features are disclosed only by a peep into the interior. -Each car is, in effect, a portable safe, the body of the car being lined with steel. Metal lattice work or , close screen mesh has the preference, although It Is declared that there is no reason why sheet steel of light weight should not be employed. ' However, for all tnese motor cars are fairly impregnable the bankers do not place sole dependency upon these steel cages on wheels. Each car carries, in addition to the driver, one. two or three guards. Famin, Architect Mme. Harson, the old lady of 96 who died a few days ago at her residence on the Quai d'Orleans, was in her younger days the reader and confidential' friend of the Duchess de Barry, the niece of Louis XVI, who romantically attempted to foment a royalist rising in 1S32. A still more remarkable "link with the past" was Charles Famin, who died at Chartres, January 18, at the age of 101. II was th grandson of the last "echiv vin," or sheriff of the city of Paris (1789), while his mother ras descended from Nattier, the famous painter of the epoch of Louis XV. M. Famin, his father, was architect to Napoleon I, and when be was restoring the chateau of Rambouillet little Charley used to play freely In the imperial courtyards. It was on one of these occasions that the Emperor, passing by, noticed the youngster and picked him up and embraced bim. In after years Charles Famin followed in his father's footsteps, took the "prize of Rome" for architecture and lived at the Villa Medicis with tlie painters Flandrln and Herbert and the musicians Gounod and Ambroise Thomas. Active to the last, he took a lively interest in architecture and archaeology, and was over 95 when he defended himself with a vigorous and trenchant pen against certain criticisms In connection with the demolition of buildings around the famous cathedral. Mother's Visit An old-fashioned woman from the country recently packed some fried chicken, bread and doughnuts In a market basket and went to see her daughter who lives in the big city. She was scandalized when the family staid up till 11 o'clock and decided that she wouldn't tell pa anything about it when she wrote home next day. "He might think we have fallen into evil ways," she said to herself aß she was going off to sleep. Sho awoke at her usual time 4 o'clock, and the house seemed strangely quiet "Town folks do get lazy," she thought, "and they probably don't get up till 6." She dressed and went downstairs and watched the clock until 5. Not a sound; the she waited till 6, and at 7, between hunger and alarm, she was almost brazed. "They've been murdered in their beds!" she yelled at 8 o'clock from the front steps, and soon the house was filled with people rushing In to see what had happened. The family were surprised and Indignant when police, market gardeners, newsboys, etc., rushed into their bedrooms ind woke them -up, and this explains why the old-fashioned woman came home that day. "I never expected," she sobbed to pa, "that any girl would talk to her ma as Jane talked to me." Atchison Globe, An Unintentional Joke. Jacob A. Rlls tells an anecdote of a reporter detailed to police headquarters by a well-known newspaper. His special forte was fires. He Is dead, poor fellow. In life he was fond of a joke, and in death it clung to him In a way wholly unforeseen. The firemen in the next block, with whoni he made his headquarters when off duty, so that he might always be within hearing of the gong, wished to give some tangible evidence of their regard for the old reporter, but, being in a hurry, left It to the florist, who knew him well, to choose the design. He hit upon a floral fire badge as the proper thing, and thus It was that when the company of mourners was assembled and the funeral seivice in progress, there arrived and was set upon the coffin, in full view of all. that triumph of the florist's art. a shield of white roses, with this legend written across it in red Immortelles: "Admit within fire limits only." No Pledge Necessary. At a certain college It was the custom to have the students write the following pledge at the bottom of their examination papers: "I hereby certify on my honor that 1 have neither given nor received aid during this examination." Soon after handing in his paper to s professor, noled for his sarcasm, a young fellow hurriedly entered the classroom ami said: "Professor, I forgot to put the pledge on my pappr." "Altogether unnecessary." replied the teacher. '"I have just finished looking over your paper, and I feel sure you did not give or receive aid." Roused Her Ire. "What made that woman so angry?' "I happened to step on her train." "Well?" "Then I- raised my hat politely and raid: 'Excuse me, madam, your eqtsjlibrator is dragging,' and she lost her temper." ' . More Classy. ' "Lovely sunset tonight, Mrs. Swell manner." ' "Mercy, I never look at an American sunset! They're so much more classy ver In Italy, don't you know."

He wat ike the soft stone in 6ome quarries easily cut and shaped when first taker !rom the quarry, but soon hardenln nto rock. Peter expresses the possi ailities J sus saw in the nature o. Simon, hii "ideal which God woul make' divinely real." For three years Peter was an ear aest pupil in Christ's school. He mad many mistakes; he fought many bat Ues on the battlefield of his heart -le had some severe reproofs, but hi lad a wise, encouraging, patien teacher. After a tin2 he was advanc ?d to the highest grade with Jamet ind John. "The first essential for sue :ess Is a soul," an awakened soul Ime of the most interesting studlei for a teacher, is to go careful! through the Gospels, and study Christ's method of teaching and train ing such an unruly but earnest scholaj as Peter was. "Thou lalt deny me thrice, disowi me as your Lord and Master." Petei ras sure that he would not fell in th iour of temptation. No one know what he will do In unexpected circumJtances. But Jesus did all he coulc to put Peter on his guard. An interval of some hours. Gethiemane; Peter, wearied, sleeps or &uard. The arrest; Peter and all the ipostles desert Jesus.

Peter was sitting with the servants ind others around a fire and he denied Christ before them all, who wer fathered around the fire. The main charge was promlnentb nade by one, a kinsman of Malchua vho had seen Peter in the garden and vas known to St. John from his ac maintr.nce with the high priest' lousehold. For thy speech betrayetl hee, "betrayeth," shows that thou an 1 Galilean, and therefore one of hi lisciples, or why else art thou here' Then began he to curse, call dowr :ur?es on himself If he did no, speak he truth. And to swear, to call Goc o witness that it was true. It ii nore than probable that Peter. In hit arlier life as a fisherman, before hit Jonversion, had been in the habit ol ising profane language, and now. In he sudden surprise of temptation, ths lid habit broke forth anew, as the lan puage of youth, long unused, is almost sertain to be employed In times of preat excitement It is a long and arddlsclpline that entirely conquers he sins or youth. " "I kuow not the man." And this in the vjry presence cf Jesus. "The ways down which the bad ship Wickedness slides to a shoreless ocean oust be greased with lies." "A He Is ?ut out to interest, end the Intercast is :om pound." It was now that Peter was "sifted is wheat." Part of what he thought pras wheat was really chaff, and this :errible sifting under temptation blew iway in the roughest manner most )f the chaff, his Inconstancy, his lery temper, his self-confidence, but preserved all the good in his character, purified and perfected. We can be good In spite of falls, aod can bring good out of eviL That !n his glory, and our hope. But he can lo far more with our victories than by our failures. Then Jesus looked upon Peter. The Jreek word for "looked" occurs but in one other place in the Gospels. It means that "he looked into him," into his very heart, "with eyes that went like lightning to the quick of hia ronacience." Petr remembered the warning, and went out and wept th bitterest tears of repentance. From this time on Peter was a new man. The charcoal had become dia mond. He describes the effect In hi? first Epistle (1:7). "That the trial oJ your faith, being much more preciouj ihan of gold that persisteth, thougk it be tried with fire, might be found un lo praise and honor and glory at the ap pearing of Jesus Christ:" Peter r, Joiced when he could express his lovi to Jesus by suffering in his cause. Hi wrote a letter which has been a comfort and a power all down the ages. His victory not his fallin the great crisis gave Urn power over men to the end. "In the pain and 'the repentance ind in the acquaintance with the as pects of folly and sin," says Ruskln "you have learned something; ho much less than you would have learnt Ed In right paths can never be told but that it Is less is certain. Tout liberty of choice has simply destroyed fou so much of life and strengt! acver regainable. It is true you know ihe habits of swine, now, and th taste for husks.

Ail measures of reformation are effective In exact proportion to their timeliness; partial decay may be cut away and cleansed; Incipient error corrected; but there Is a point at which corruption can no more be stayed, nor wandering recalled. It has been the manner of modern philanthropy to remain passive until that precise period, and to leave the sick Id perish, and the foolish to stray, while it spent itself in frantic exertions to raise- the dead, reform the dust.
