From the London Spectator. ‘Twelve men once agreed that each should ask the most unpopular man of his ac- quaintance to dinner. They sat down thirteen, for the twelve votes had all fallen on one man. It is very much to be feared that if the peoples of the earth were to be asked to name the most unpopular nation, they would, with one assent, name Eng- land. Some of them might say that, per- sonally, they liked her, but all would agree in the fact she is the most unpopular mem- ber of the family of nations. With the Freach our unpop rity as a nation al- most passes into actual hatred; while Ger- many, though she agrees with us in many things, and has many points of sympathy, finds us all over the world a source of dis- like and Irritation. By Russia we are still more openly regarded as the disagreeable power whose function is to be stolidly and stubbornly tiresume and unamiable. Even Austria, though she has little real cause to hate, and some cause to like, admits with a sigh that we are intclerable, “like all selfish people’—for that we are always selfishly looking out for our own interests she regards as an undeniable fact. To Italy alone of the powers we present a pleasanter face; but she, while she dis- avows*the feeling for herself. has to #41- mit that her experience is contrary to the rest of mankind, and that, therefore, in the true sense of the word, we are unpopu- lar. She may deny tnat the unpopularity is deserved, but she cannot but note the phenomenon. Our own flesh and blood in America join the chorus, and Jeclare that though we are sound at heart and in essentials vir- tuous, and full of moral worth, we are, in the daily intercourse of international life, very unpleasant, a blundering, bullying, grabbing power with no regard for the feelings of others, «nd therefore naturally and inevitably -lisliked. Even the colonies are often inclined to represent something of the same feeling, and to express the opin- ion that they io not wonder tie governor is so muca iislik2d when he pays so little attention to sther people's views, and 1s so dashed patronizing. “Of course, onc doesn’t mind it a Wit from one’s own father, but it must be decidelly annoying from a strange! As for the little powers, they are white with raze when they think of England. It is no good to tell them that they always get justice from England, when what they want is a touch of “high corsideration.” They would far rather be robbed and injured than, as they think, humiliated. The poor southerner would al- ways rather be plundered by a nobleman who gives him a bow and a salute, than have a loaf of bread chucked him by a rich bcurgeois who makes a joke about his lan- tern jaws and emgjy belly. With Spain, Holland, Denmark, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden and the Spanish republics of South America we are, therefore, quite as ac- tively unpopular as we are with the great states. They may not hate us for any cause, or have, indeed, any sort of real grievance against us, but our unpopularity with them is a matter of instinct. We are Dr. Fell to each and all of them. ————— oo AS A REPUBLIC. NORWAY A Feature of Norwegian Politics tributed to United States Influenc Boston Correspondence N. ¥. Evening Post. At the usual Saturday dinner of the Twentieth Century Club on the 26th instant Dr. Niels L. J. Gron gave an explanation of Norwegian politics which will be new to most people of this country. He is a Dane, has studied in the United States, and has recently returned frem a visit to Norway, in which he traversed the country from end to end. He said that there was a marked growth of sentiment in favor of a ublic, and predicted that before manyw years Norway would be independent of Sweden and be a republic. The center of conservatism in the country is in Chris- tiania, yet at the last election the liberals carried it. At their national celebration on May 17 last there was a procession of 20,000 school children in Christiania carrying the Nor- wegian flag. The de: for a democratic form of government exists throughout the country, and he found it particularly strong among the peasants of the north. It is the influence of the United States, he said, which has wrought this change in senti- ment on the part of the Norwegian people. Many thousand Norwegians in this country are constantly sending letters home, and they are epistles of democratic doctrine. Nearly every leading family in the count has some connection in this country, and the entire people is permeated with this desire for an independent republic. ‘The lUberal party does not yet wish to show its full aim. But the effort to secure separate consuls in foreign countries is made in order that Norway may stand be- fore the world as separate from Sweden, ying her own representatives at foreign It these could be secured, then ould be a demand for foreign min- being under eparate from Swed- appropriations, and ‘own parliament make thelr own are now spending m fer an’army in a way they have not hitierto done. The ker said that there was no doubt that there would be war between Norway and Sweden in consequence of this ambition to become an independent republic, THE ANACOSTIA LIN No Trouble Met in Starting the Cars Today. PROPOSITIONS 10 PRESIDENT GRISWOLD He Does Not Look for Further In- terference With the Road. DRIVER TAIT FINED So far as outside appearances indicated the Anacostia road was running this morning as well as ever. The new employes are rap- idly adapting themselves to their duties. A number of the locked out men assembled on Monroe stret, near the railway sheds, early tkis morning, but made no demonstration indicating any purpose to interfere with the operations of the road. Police Sergt. Ander- son has taken every precaution to guard against all species of disorder. The cars were started from the sheds in Anacostia by Superintendent Newton promptly on time and on an improved schedule to that which the management has been able to maintain since the lock-out was ordered Ly President Griswold Tuesday last. The first car was followed today by other cars at regular intervals of six minutes until the usual equipment of the road was placed in service. Président Griswold said today that he feels confident that all danger of interrup- tion by strikers or their sympathizers to the running of the road has passed, and that-it will be but a few days before all the cars shall be operated on as good schedule and everything will run as smoothly as though there had been no lockout during the present week. Action of the Assembly. At the meeting of the Street Railway Assembly last night much time was de- voted to a discussion of the difficulty ex- isting between the employes and the man- egement of the Anacostia road. The fact was developed that the agreement made upon the part of the men_by_ Messrs. Dent, Sears and Baker with President Griswol.i, which was published in The Star, and which was thought to be acceptable to the men, was rejected at an informal called meeting. This action was indorsed by the embly at the meeting last night. It was elso concluded to declare the road “unfair,” and a committee was appointed to bring the matter to the attention of D. A., 68, and secure the indorsement of that body. D. A., 66, hela no meeting last night be- cause of the general attendance of the del- egates at the Cuban meeting, and the mat- ter was deferred until the next meeting of the body, a week hence. To Run a Line of "Buses. It was decided to run a line of ‘buses in competition with the road, as was done last summer, and Mr. Lawrence is arrang- ing to have a ine running today, if possi- ble. It was also concluded to run a per- manent line of herdics in the near future, to be maintained and under the control of the assembly. The matter will be brought to the attention of D. A., 66, and financial aid will be asked of the local organizations represented in that body. The members of the association consider an amicable adjustment of the existing trouble as hopeless, and assert that no further effort will be made by them toward a settlement on any other basis than that for which they are contending. Why a Driver Was Discharged. Superintendent Newton frustrated what he believed to be a plan to tie up the Ana- costia railroad. Word reached Mr. Newton last evenirg that the driver of one of the cars, who is an employe of another railway company off duty for a couple of days, and a member of the Railway Union, had sought empleyment with the Anacostia Company for the purpose of aiding the strikers in again interfering with the op- erations of the road. The plan to be followed, as Mr. Newton was told, was that the man should drive one or two trips today, and at an appoint~ ed time the car would be met on Missouri avenue between 3d and 4 1-2 streets north- west by some of the strikers, who were to “pull” the driver from the platform ani throw the car across both tracks, so as to stop the passage of cars in both directions. Superintendent Newton, jumping in his carriage, drove up town, and overtaking the car summarily dismissed the suspected driver in question from the service of the company and put another man in charge of |. the car. Tulking With President Griswold. Another attempt was made last night to induce Fresident Griswold to recele from the position he has taken in reference to the re-employment of the old drivers who have not yet abandoned the union, and to agree to pay the men a few cents per day more than Mr. Griswold proposes to pay, but without success. am Mr. Wi.Lam H. Peck called to see Presi- dent Griswou, and asked him if there was not some way by which the trouble with the old drivers who are still out of work could be paiched up. Mr. Peck said he thought Mr. Lawrence made a mistake in getung the drivers in the employ of the railway company to reject the agreement entered into on the subject between Mr. Griswold and Messrs. Dent, Baker and Sears, the committee of the former, and he urgei Mr. Griswold to take back a part of the former employes wh? nave not yet asked for posit.ons, and to sive thein a iit- tle more pay than is now being paid to the dr.vers. Mr. Peck further, informed Mr, Griswold that he had been told that the Railway Union had made arral ments to deposit $1,000 in bank as security for the h.re of ten herdics, ani that these convey- ances would begin running between Ana- costia and the navy yarl terminus of the line. ae iswold replied that there was noth- ing to patch up; that he had secured plenty of drivers, some of them his employes at the time of tHe lockout, and that he should maintain the position Bere taken in refer- se to the whole subject. “Many applications for positions to take the places of the strikers are being received by Mr. Griswold, and this indicates that there are many men in Maryland and Virginia out of work. Tait Fined for Assault. The assault case growing out of the trcuble on the road two days ago was heard in the Police Court today, Alexander Tait, a driver who tcok the place of one of the strikers, being the defendant in the case. Albert Lusby, one of the striking drivers, appeared as the prosecuting witness. When LLusby got on Tait’s car he was accompanied by Charles Keefe. Tait, it appears, removed the brake handle, but did not use it. For this he was char acd with assault, and Judge Miller held him guilty. Lusby said he offered the driver a $2 bill after asking where the conductor was. “Tait,” he said, ‘‘told me he had no change and that I wauld either have to put my fare in the box or get off.” “And what did he do?” the court asked. “He raised the brake handle and threat- ened to strike me.” “Did he strike you?” “No, sir.” “Ts this all there is about the affair?” “Yes, si Keefe gave corroborative testimony, and said that when he remonstrated with him Tait said, “I'll hit you. Policeman Robey was on the car at the time of the trouble. He said that while he heard no tender of the money made, he did see Lusby have a bill in his hand. When he looked toward the front of the car he saw Tait have the brake handle in his hand, but he did not have it raised. The defendant denied that he had in- tended to use the brake handle, except in self-defense. He said he thought he was going to be attacked, and for that reason he got po: jon of the brake handle. De- ferdant denied that Lusby had tendered him the bill, although he saw it in his hand. He said he would have changed the bill Fad Lusby handed it to him. Judge Miller told Tait that he was a little too hasty. He acted before there was any danger. Tait was held guilty and was fined $%, which he paid. Tried to Stop a Car. About 10 o'clock this morning seven or eight men, said to be strikers, ranged them- selves in a line across the tracks a short ‘distance from the terminus and as one of the cars approached some of them ordered the driver to stop,. The latter, however, put whip to his.horses and drove rapidly through the lise.:. One of the alleged eee narrowly. escaped being knocked lown. te A report was today started in Anacostia that a special meeting of the Citizens’ As- sociation, presumably for the purpose of extending sympathy; to the locked-out mel will be held tonight, but President Linge of the association jsays that he has not called such a meeting. There is no likelihood of any trouble with strikers today, as the railway tracks are being guarded by policemen from one end of the line to the other. ‘Two more drivers called at the office of the Anacostia Railway Company this af- ternoon and informed Superintendent New- ton that they had decided to leave the Railway Assembly and asked to be re-em- ployed by the company. They then signed the agreement that they would work on Mr. Griswold’s terms, and Mr. Newton placed them on the extra list. THINGS HEARD AND SEEN In a down-tewn pocl room last night I saw a young rian scarcely of age. His ex- pertness with the cue showec that he was a frequent visitor. As ke saw me he was just completing a game, and, hastily draw- ing on his coat, excused himself to his com- panions and left the room. I was glad that he did, for it showed that feeling was not dead, and he knew how to be ashamed. He is only one of a class, and yet the story when told is a pitiful one. Down in a little Alabama town lives a white-haired lady and her daughter in a house that was onze a mansion, but now it has so fallen into decay that few rooms remain that are habitable. Upon a knoll gear the house is a village cemetery, and there the mother and daughter go every Sunday to place flowers upon three graves. It is only a small town, and there are few opportuni- ties to make mcrey. The lady keeps three bearders, all that can be obtained in the village, and those are kept at prices that scarcely pay expenses for the two hard- werking women. The daughter teaches music, although pupils are scarce in the out-cf-the-way place. By denying them- selves everything but the absolute neces- saries of life they have been able to send the son and brother to Washington to ob- tain an ecucation, and be fitted for a pro- fession. Every penny is laid away, for the young man must Fave bcoks and appear well among his fellows. Every night they talk it all over, and three times a week they write end urge him not to injure his health by studying too late at night, even though it may take longer to complete his course. And this is the boy I saw put up Hs cue and pay $2 fot an evening's pleas- ure, with an air as though he had a for- tune. I was talking-ta a lawyer, and he told me a stcry of wifely devotion that was to tim the most singular experience he ever had. My friend had been appointed by the court to defend a murderer named Joe Wal- lace. The evidence was clear, and the man was hung in Marion county, Tenn, Wal- lace lved in the mountains of Grundy county, near the Alabama line, in a one- room log hut, where he had a wife and one child. This was about seventy miles from the place where the man was tried. A few days before the execution, a woman, with her shoes entirely worn out, appeared at the jail, and asked’ that she be allowed to see Joe. It was wiswife. Permission being granted she unwrapped from the folds of her apron a large, plug of tobacco, and asked if she could give it to her husband, saying: “He kain‘t'live but two days now. You're all a-going to hang ‘im, an’ I sol’ all my chickens, ‘the las’ things I had thet F cud git a cent fur. They fotched me half-a-dollar, an’ I Jess laid out a quarter |fur the ‘baccy, .knowin’ Joe couldn’ die comf’ble without, i, nohow.” The wife had tramped the. entire distance over the mountains, carrying her babe, that she mtght bid her doomed husband good-bye, and give him the tobacco, that would bring solace during the last two days of his life. That night, efter, bidding him a last fare- well, she started,an, ker long tramp back to the cheerless cabjmon the mountains. It seems as théjfgh there, should be some special dispensatiop by. which young mar- ried couples Bhould be guarded from all calamities, at least during their wedding tour, but some very distressing things oc- cur. At one of the leading hotels can be fcund the names of a man and his wife on the register, with their home place given as a Maryland town. Their trunks were new, the bride had none but new dresses, the grcom from the top of his silk hat to the bottom of his patent leather shoes wore new clothes. In fact, the newness was so plain that their presence was a per- petual announcement that they had very recently been married. They went to the Capitol, to the White House, to the museum and had reached ‘the new post office build- ing. Here they ventured too far inside, when no one was looking, and suddenly a handful of small pieces of brick fell. One struck the new silk hat squarely upon the top. Another removed a small piece of cuticle from the groom's chin. That hat settled down upon the young man’s ears and the bridge of his nose. After some ex- ertion, the bride succeeded in removing it, but there was a place on the nose that looked as though a fight had occurred. They bought sticking plaster at a drug store and patched up the wounds, but their pleasure was gone. No one would believe the story of how the injuries were inflicted, and for them to return home would excite horrible suspicions of marital infelicity. To appear at table, where it was known, they were bride and groom, was out of the ques- tion, and now they take their meals in their room, waiting until all traces of the mishap are gone before venturing where they can be seen. In southwestern Arizona can be found a rude board board upon which is inscribed the words, “Texas Dick. Starved to death saving others.” ‘That is all. A ranshman from the Panhandle of Texas ‘old me the story a few days ago. Texas k was well known about Abilene, Colorado City, El} Paso and Amarillo. Sometimes he herded cattle, at other times he drove stage, but usually he could be found in the frontier towns, drinking and carousing. Wild as an antelope, he avoided civilization and sought lawless communities. One day Dick was going across the plains from Colorado City to Texline, intending to ride on to Deming, when he came to a canvas-covered wagon, where a woman and several children were weeping over the body‘of the head of the family, who had just died. Dick reined up his pony, took charge of affairs, buried the man and, tying ifis pony to ie wagon, mounted the seat and drove. They were going to Southern California, across the burring sands uf Arizona. It had not rain- ed for over a year on the staked plains, and there was no game, except a few jack rab- bits and sage hens. Dick had his trvsty rifle, but day after day passed -vhen there was neither wazer,nor food. Enough was killed to support thé widow and her children, Dick cooking the“fodd for them and 5 saying he had gitled a rabbit for himself besides those he.gaye to the hungry stran- gers. In New Mexico they fared a little bet- ter, but when they started across the sands of Arizona it sedntsl that the drought had destroyed every W¥ing thing. Dick would go witl his gun,.nmd nothing that brea:hed was allowed to, eseape. Even sage hens were luxurie: id geldom a day passed that the hunter's protkSees did not have food. But one day Dick’ grew delirious and talked of his boyhood home, back in ihe east; mind dwelt upon:éie bread his mother used to bake and the water in the spring. A train of wagons caught-up with the starving peo- ple, and then there-was plenty of food. Dick came to consciorsness long enough to beg for bread and water, moaning piteously that he had not taste either for three weeks. They were furnished, but too late. He died that night and was buried, with the rude in- scription I have quoted. He had given his Mfe for others. First Assistant Postmaster General Jones had a curious case before him the other postmaster in a western town for $230.

RECRUITING IS NOT DIFFICUL Large Numbers of Men With Ex- “perience Secured. INTERESTING STATISTICS An interesting feature of the annual re- port of Rear Admiral Ramsay, chief of the bureau of navigation, is that it shows con- clusively that there is no foundation for the popular impression that it is difficult to secure men for service in the United States navy. Another fact on which great stress is laid by Admiral Ramsay is that of last year's enlistments over 25 per cent were men who have had prior service in the navy. This fact is stated as conclusive Proof that there is no general dissatisfac- tion on the part of enlisted men with their experience in the naval service. During the past year 9,966 men presented them- selves ond were examined for enlistment in the navy, a number only thirty-four short of the total authorized enlisted strength of the navy. Although it is true that only a little more than one-half of the number were accepted, the situation is considered at the department as indi- cating that no difficulty will be experienced in maintaining the enlisted strength of the navy by the enlistment of good men. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1895, 3,912 men and 345 apprentices were enlisted or re-enlisted in the navy. More than 25 per cent of the men enlisted under continuous service. One hundred and fifty-eight special serv- ice men were enlisted for the coast and geodetic survey, and 114 special service men were enlisted for the vessels of the fish commission. Rejections and Discharges. Sixteen hundred and sixty-seven men and 736 boys, candidates for enlistment, were rejected for physical disqualifications, and 4,387 men and 837 boys were rejected for other causes; 2,501 men ard 207 apprentices were discharged—2,036 men and 183 ap- prentices by reason of expiration of enlist- ment, 128 men and 30 apprentices for dis- ability, 196 men by reason of services being no longer required, 122 men and 2 appren- tices at their own request, 43 men and 7 apprentices by purchase, 5 men _by request of their commanding officers, 171 men and 38 apprentices for bad conduct, 3 men on account of illegal enlistment, 22 men and 31 apprentices for inaptitude, and 75 men and 6 apprentices as undesirable. Seven hundred and fifteen men and 173 ap- prentices deserted during the year. Of this Lumber 638 men and 161 apprentices de- serted in home ports. Forty-eight men and 10 boys died. Under sections 4756 and 4757 of the Re- vised Statutes 38 pensions have been al- lowed and 8 disallowed. Four thousand five hundred and seventy- nine dollars and eleven cents has been paid to enlisted men in prizes for target prac- tice with great guns, machine guns and small arms. At the close of the fiscal year more than 31 per cent of the enlisted men in the navy were serving under continuous service. More than 69 per cent of the enlisted men were American citizens, and more than 81 per cent of the apprentice boys were American born. During the year the Minneapolis, Maine, Texas, Olympia, Amphittite, Lancaster, Marion and Alliance have been commis- sidned for service. The Chicago, Minnesota, Miantonomoh, Atlanta, Monongahela, Mohi- can, Adams, Portsmouth and Vesuvius have been put out of commission. Four American steamships tendered by the International Navigation Compat.y have, in accordance with the provisions of the postal subsidy act approved March 3. isl, and at the request of the Postmaster GES been inspected, tested and classi- ied. _ Next Year's Estimates. Admiral Ramsay also transmits the re- ports of the superintendent of the Naval Acad2my, the commandant of the training station, the president of the Naval College and Torpedo School, and the hydrographer to the bureau of navigation. The tozal esti- mates for the next fiscal year aggregate $520,781, of which $231,031 are for the Naval Academy, $180,000 for the naval training sta- tion, $10,000 for the Naval War College, and the remainder for miscellaneous objects un- der the bureau of navigation. Naval War College. According to the appended report of Capt. Taylor, president of the Naval War College. the work of that institution during the past year was of extreme importance as touching upon questions of grave national concern. The principal problem considered had for ite theater the coast of New England from Nantucket northward. The conditions as they might actually exist at the present time gave the enemy a force three times as strong is ours, and suppdsed his objective to be the occupation of Boston and Portland and the neighboring coast. The solution of this problem will be made to the department as a confidential document. Strategic Study of the Caribbean Sen. Another problem, which Capt. Taylor says excited great interest at this time, was intended to give effect to the, depart- ment’s expressed desire to begin the strate- gic study of th eCaribbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico, and the solution of this will also be submitted to the department at an early day. A new feature introduced this year was the study of naval tactical situations as distinguished from strategi- cal problems, based upon the methods em- ployed in his ‘Tactical Problems” by Von Moltke to train the German officers to make quick decisions in sudden emergencies in face of the enemy. The other exercises of the course called chiefly upon the more deliberative qualities of the mind, inducing a certain slowness of decision, which it was the object of these tactical situations to counteract. The results amply fulfilled ex* pectations. Hydrographer Sigsbee, in his attached re- port, speaks of the importance of the work done on the lakes by his bureau. He says that it is remarkable that the vast import- ance of the lakes has not before received recognition, as was accorded to the Atlan- ic coast, and expresses the belief that a considerable extension of the lake service of the hydrographic office should be made, and that at least stations should be estab- lished at Duluth and Saulte Ste. Marie, the latter presenting unique advantages. + AMERICANS IN LONDON. They Visit the English Metropolis in Greater Numbers Than Ever, From the St. James Gazette. An impression prevails that the Ameri- can season in London is drawing to a close, and that in a few days the capital will be depleted of transatlantic visitors, That is an erroneous idea, according to the London American, for the “American season” lasts nearly the whole year round. In ten years the character of American interests in the queen's capital has com- pletely changed. Twenty years ago only the rich and presumably extravagant were to be found abroad, and to be an American was to be at once credited with the re- sources of Croesus and the prodigality of a Roman patrician of the decadence. Then there was distinctly such an institution as “the American season,” which began about the Ist of March and lasted until the end of August. Those were the days when Paris was the great Mecca, and London merely an episode of the European tour. But now that the United States is be- coming prosperous once more, the contrast between the old order of things and the new becomes even greater. A hundred and thirty thousand Americans have been transient visitors, and it is safe to say that quite half that number are still p: ent on British soil. To the 20,000 perma- nent American residents of London may be added another 5,000 who will be alwayz present in hotels, boarding houses and apartments through the winter, although ten times that number will pass through in order to Keep the number well up to that permanent figure. Our contemporary calcutates that not until January wil! there be any falling off in the throngs of wealthy Americans who will pass through London cn their way to the Riviera and Italy.

Incrustation of Precious Woods With Mother-of-Pearl in Hano! Hanoi, a city of French Tonquin, says a writer in the Journal des Voyages, has a flourishing industry in the incrustation of precioys woods with mother-of-pearl. The industry is so important that a whole street, called the street of the Inlayers, is given up to it, and constitutes the sole curiosity of the city. Strangers to the art pass hours in watching the native workmen. The lat- ter are genuine artists, masters of a dell- cate handicraft demanding artistic percepe tion and high manual skill. Furnished with rnde tools, but with much patience and skill, these workmen produce articles of great beauty, gleaming with rainbow hues. Here is a sheaf of many-colored flowers, there are delicious arabesques, yonder is a landscape glittering in the sun. The Division of Labor. The workmen have applied the principle of the division of labor to their art. There are the cabinet-makers, who put together the different parts of the material to be in- crusted. The prcecess of joining is done without the aid of nails, and with a system of nice dovetailing and the use of paste of which lacquer is the base. The wood em- ployed is of two distinct species of palis- ander, sometimes callet violet ebony, and by the natives tiac, and a true ebony from the forests of the Red river of Tonquin. This latter, which the natives call moun, is especially valued by reason of the close grain and its deep black,~ which brings out the shifting glories of the mother-of-pearl. Objects of incrusted ebony are more costly than those of violet ebony. When the cabinet-maker has prepared the wood it passes Into the hands of the de- signer, who makes sketches of the orna- mentation upon rice paper. These designs are transferred to the wood by the inlayer, whose duty it is to choose the pearl that will best serve to bring out the beauty of the design. The mother-of-pearl ts obtained from a species of large shellfish, called casque, chiefly caught upon the shores of the island of Poulo-Condar. The inlayers cut the mother-of-pearl into bits four or five centimeters in diameter, and choose the combination of colors that shall yield the contrasts necessary for the artistic suc- cess of the work. His art lies in the skill to arrange the pieces so as to obtain the best effects of iridescence. This he height- ens by the use of a sort of pearl dust fur- nished by a sort of great mussel taken from the brooks of the region. The play of light upon these mussels gives the whole gamut of the rainbow. Making Mosaic Designs. The bits of pearl chosen, the inlayer strives to give them the form of the design and to dispose them as veritable mosaic in the wood. The crude morsel is rendered translucent with pumice stone. It is then fixed in a vise, and the inlayer’s labor of patience begins. Crouching upon his heels before the vise, he shapes the piece with a file smaller than an ordinary colored cray- on. The pearl fashioned, it is necessary to trench the wood to receive it. This is or- dinarily done by children from fourteen to fifteen years old. They follow the lines of the design with a burin and channel tiny trenches of a millimeter in diameter. The bits of pearl are then set in the grooves and fixed with a lacquer paste. The whole is gently heated to melt the paste, and so fill all the interstices. The Inlayer then pol- ishes his work, varnishes it, and gives it finishing touches with the burin. The work is so beautiful and so costly that it is much counterfeited by cheaper methods, though never with entire success. ———— THE FIRST PNEUMATIC TIRE. A Rather Crude Affair That Hardly Suggests the Present Finished Desig: From the Buffalo Express. Very few of the hundreds of thousands of cyclists who now enjoy the pastime on an up-to-date safety, shod with pneumatic tires, have an idea from what a crude con- trivance those same air cushions on their wheels haye been evolved. Pneumatic tires were invented in 1889 by J. B. Dun- lop, a horse doctor of Belfast, Ireland. He had a son who rode a tricycle, and who by his indulgence had developed a nervous trouble. The veterinary concluded that the boy's disorder was due solely to the jolting of the wheels, and, planning to do away with the objection, so that the lad might centinue his exercise, he hit upon the idea of putting air cushions cn the wheels. With only such material as he had at hand for use in doctoring equine invalids, he set to work. Using a broomstick as a mandrel, he wrapped it spiraily with linen bandages. Next, he took some rubber sheets and solutioned them around the linen. The ends also he fastened with rub- ber solution. He inserted a valve a little better than a plug, and, putting it on the wheels, started his son away on the first pneumatic tires. It was quickly found that the rough-and- ready siyle of fabric would not hold sir, and so an inner sheath of pure rubber was tried. The valve was vulcanized to this inner tube in such a way that in the event of any trouble with ihe valve an entire new air sheath was the only remedy. Flat rims were used at the time, and the tires were fastened to :he rim by a strip of muslin which came out with the free edges from the under side of the tires. These ends were wrapped around the rim and vulcanized to it. The linen completely covered the rim, effectually concealing its material. Tires such as_ thes couple of years. They weighed from twelve to fifteen pounds a pair, and a puncture in one of them was about as serious a mat- ter as a broken frame is at the present time. were used for a —+e0- A RICH NEWSBOY. From Humble Circumstances He Be- came the Possessor of a Fortune. New York Corres. Troy Times. This reference to journalism leads me to mention the death of George I. Tyson, who was really the mest wonderful newsboy in New York. He began selling papers up- town and worked up a thriving trade, but wken the Fifth Avenue Hotel was built he made a higher move by leasing the ex- elusive news privilege. This he found so profitable that he secured a similar privi- lege in other hotels, and as his traffic in- cluded general light literature and also cigars he made money rapidly. He became {ndeed, so prominent a dealer that the American News Company was glad of his assistance, and before he had long been a shareholder he was elected president. This Stice he held at the time of his death, He also had the news privileges in eightesn hotels, and as his estate is valued at 3500,- (oo it certainly is worderful success for one who started life with a few news- papers. i Speaking of newsbeys, it is. surprising that tle Icading journalists have done so little for the lodging house erected for that needy and deserving class. Horace Gree ley bequeathed it $2,000, but he did a great deal for the newsboys long before he died. and his example should be followed. THE THIRD TERM TRADITION. In Theory Wrong, but in Practice the Present System is All Right. John Bach McMaster in the Forun. We all remember how the dominating pewer of Conkling in New York, of Camer- on in Pennsylvania, and of Logan in Ili- nols, extorted from the’ conventions of those states a demand for the nomination of Grant; how other states followed this lead; how the friends of the movement were denounced as “restorationists’ and “imperialists; how they persisted in their effort to the very last; how in the Chicago convention they never cast less than 303 votes and once cast 4 and how by their persistence they forced that compromise which resulted in the nomination of Gar- field. All these things are still fresh in our memories, and, being so, it is not a little strange that a seriovs effort should be on foot to give a third term to Mr. Cleveland. ‘The fears which tormented the founders of the republic have long since vanished. We do not believe that our democratic in- stitutions can ever be subverted by any oc- cupant of the White House. We stand in no dread that the day will come when some successful general or some unscrupulous politician will first seize the presidency and then use its great power to set up a lifelong dictatorship, or establish a kingdom, on the ruins of the republic. Yet there is no reason to believe that the old- time antipathy to a third term is one whit less strong than it ever was. Any sane man will admit that the bank, or the rail- road company, or the corporation of any sort that should dismiss a tried and able president merely because the stockholders had twice placed him in the executive chair, would deserve financial ruin. No tendency in the business world is more marked than the constant effort to find men pre-eminently fitted to carry on cer- tain lines of business, and to place the Management of such concerns entirely in their hands. But the common sense rules which govern the selection of the president of a corporation do not apply in the elec- tion of a President of the United States. Our Presidents are rot chosen because of their fitness, but because of their avail- ability. Some are dark horses; some are nominated because they alone can reconcile contending factions; some because they can carry pivotal states. Others are forced on the voters by the machine. In theory this is all wrong. In practice no harm comes from it. Under our system of government we do not want, we do not need a President of extraordinary ability; the average man is good enough, and for | him two terms are ample. We want a strong government of the people by the people, not a government of the people by a strong man, and we ought not to tolerate any- thing which has even the semblance of heredity. The advocates of a third term for Mr. Cleveland will do well to remem- ber the doctrine of the illustrious founder of their party, that “in no office can rota-~ tion be more expedient.” OUR GREAT DESERT. Plaus to Lessen the Dangers of the Grent Mojave Waste. From the San Francisco Examiner. The great Mojave desert is no longer to be a trackless waste. The loss of hapless prospectors who have perished from year to year has finally moved the board of sup- ervisors of San Bernardino county, which includes within it 20,000 square miles of the desert, to take some action to make it pos- sible for prospectors to travel that arid region in comparative safety. z Recently a number of mining :nen peti- tioned that a complete map of the desert be made, showing the roads, trails and sources of water supply, and a committee was ordered to investigate and report. The result of their investigations has jus: been made public, and they recommend all that was asked, and more. There are trails and roads leading all over the debert to the various mining camps which dot that waste of sand, and it Is proposed to have maps made, with blue print copies, which wil! be supplied to desert travelers, with all the landmarks designated, thus enabling them to follow the trails with much less danger of losing their way. But, in addi- tion, it is proposed to establish a system of sign boards and guide posts at intervals along the trails, giving information as to directions and distances, and, ‘more im- portant than all, the nearest point where water may be found. Nine-tenths of :he people lost in the desert die of thirst. Not infrequently their bleached bones have been found within a short distance of the spring they sougnt. By the new system which is planned the unlucky prospector will know how, far he is from water. and will lay his plans accorainsiy. Rewards are to be offered to anyone dis- covering new springs or developicg any water at points where none is knewn to exist. Springs already known will be clean- ed out and the water protected from pollu- tion by wild animals or by careless hand- ling. ‘The mining men are intensely interested in the proposed innovation. It is estimated that in the thirty years in which mining has been followed jn the desert not less than $20,000,000 has n taken out, while in that time scores of men have been lost whose lives might have been saved had such a system been in vogue as is now pro- posed. The desert is now fairly swarming- with prospectors, and others will go out as aconias the weather becomes more toler able. oe TRANSMITTING TYPHOID FEVER. Experiments to Determine Its Com. maunicability by the Breath. From the Medical Times. Investigations on the subject of transmit- ting typhoid fever have been made by Dr. Licard of Beziers. His plan of experi- menting was to have patients suffering from this disease breathe through tubes into water that had first been sterilized. Specimens of water thus treated were fre- quently found to yield the becilli under cultivation. The bacilli were not always found, but this is not a matter of surprise when it is considered that the best bac- teriologists frequently fail to find them under conditions strongly suggestive of their presence. Dr. Licard’s results were, however, suffl- ciently uniform to warrant an inference that the expired breath of typhoid patients, like that from those having typhus, may serve as a channel for fever infection. The vast majority of typhoid infections have their origin in a contaminated water sup- ply, but every observer has been puzzled more or less by cases of the disease which have arisen apart from any known incul- pation of the drinking water. These cases of obscure origin may have originated from two cases whose bacillar contact is atmos- pheric—not simply by means of the breath of the sick, but also by emanations from sewers, cesspools and other receptacles of typhoid dejections. oo — Diplomatic Reply.
