Late on Sunday night he was ar- rested in his room and taken before the mayor ona warrant alleging him to be a fugitive from justice, After a hearing the mayor released layner on $500 bail and took his wife for urity. A new warrant was sworn out in the ning, but Ha ner could not be found. In tJ and 1879 Hayner was traveiling auditor of the Kansas Pacific railway, and subsequently in the employ of the Pacifie Express company. He got inte trouble, but the affair was settle by bis father-in-law, Mr. Jones, of Jacksonvili Ii, Hayner then entered the employ of Cast Stewart &Co., in St. Louis.

Fish of all kinds is good for nervous people. Raw ¢; contrary to the general opinion, are not so digestible as those which have been eooked. They should be boiled Just enough to harden the white. Some persons digest hard boiled better than those cooked rare. Neither fried eggs or anything else fried shor be eaten by nervous ‘people.

Good bread, with plenty of sweet butter, is an excellent food for the nerves, Animal food {s more nutritious to the nervous system and to the body generally than vegeta- ble. It has all the essential elements for the formation of the tissues of the body, and is easily digested. It appears to be the natural sustenance for human beings.

Great numbers of tories are genuine Jingoes, and never feel happy unless England in some way or other is waving the flag. and a great many more cannot be convinced that the elec- tors care nothing about “position” in the eyes of the world. They do not understand the sullen pride which underlies the British char- acter, and think that the haughtiest population in Europe 18 as fdgety abobt precedence ‘and deference as a middle-class matron. They will urge the government to do “strong” things and to do them at once; andthe govern- ment, aware that it’ has no chance in interoal affairs, may be led into some showily useless and costly line of action abroad. The tee against this in the temper of the country 1s, however, a very strong one, and the time to for dangerous enterprises 1s ex- ceodingly short. The continental statesmen ive clearly that the Salisbury adminis- ke a and they overrate rather than underrate thé changes In policy which may be produced by a election. “The idea will be ta wait, before rming any effective alliance, and it ig only from not waiting that misfortune of any’ m: nitude is tobe expected.

The word “while” should be usedasa ‘conjunction denoting time, in the sense of “as. Jong as,” or “at the same time that.” “Quite,” used as an adverb, means “per fectly” or “eompletely.” “He is quite woll” does not mean “moderately well,” but “entire ly well.” The expression, “quite @ number” in thesense of “a large number” is not legitimate; and the phrase, “the girl is quite. pretty,” means that she is very pretty, nol moderately “Under nis signature” has been largely dis- placed by the phrase, “over his signature.” This change has been helped by the idea that under means beneath, and the fact that signatures are usually placed at the bottom of a letter. But the word under is allied to the Latin tnter, between, and the expression “under his signa: ture”’is #s ood as “under his band and seal,” oF “under way,” or perhaps, “understand.” ‘The word Ovation is now used_in. thé sense of shouting and cheering. But as Prot, E. A.

When that is done, if the railroad commissioners approve the ‘new road as practical and safe, the company will be allowed to build into and upon Boston strosts, provided the, clty gevernment gives permission. ‘The work they have just begen is the building of feet section of thelr po- cullar new rail an, engine snd a car ‘such as they propose to use. ‘The new railroad somewhat difficult to describe without a ‘technical knowledge of engineering and the use oftechnical terms.

Some of the curves may be Very sharp: steep grades may be over- come by means of the traction power. ‘The truck frames of the locomotive are like those of the car, with the connecting rods at tached to the borigontal wheelsupon eltlier sie ofthe rail. Tho pressure of the wheels upon the rails 1s such as to make {8 alshost impossl- ble for them to leave it, but In case this should happen the car could ‘not leave the track, It would simply drop an Iuch and a hak and sitde nlong, resting upon the top of the rail, tho track’frame serving as a sustantlal brace npon. both sides. ‘The cars are of novel pattern, eviindrical 1n form and built of iron.
