Twenty lives were lost by a head ou collision between a passenger and freight tram on the concord division of tlu: !stou & Maine railroad last Sunday. Twenty-seven were injured.

Sir Thomas I.iptuii has issued another challenge for a yacht race to rega1" Vv .r-.:v:: crp for Great Hiilaiu. The challenge is in the name of the Royal Irish Yacht Club, and the race will come off in 1 90S. The new Cunaid liner, the Leu sitania, the largest ship afloat, made her first voyage last week, making the ;as'-.i;;e from Liverpool to New York in fivedas, 1 hour and 33 minutes. Former State Senator K. K.

Of course, the very friendliest feeling exi.ils between Japan and the United Slates; but didn't you experience a certain sense of satis faction in reading the report that a bunch of C!.i:.uL..n whipped the Japanese sailors on a ship sailing from San Francisco to Alaska? Kansas City Star. Whatever may be the objections to the auUniiobil'.', it is surely of great assistance in reducing those swollen fortunes by dN'nl.uting them among the heirs. ".uno lis News.

Nobody now believes that the leaders of the Southern Confedera cy had a hand, directly or indirect ly, in the assassination of President . Lincoln. Nevertheless, it is a sat isfaction to read a bit of testimony which conclusively exonerates the late Jefferson Davis from the slight est complicity in that terrible affair. Recently Mrs. J, A. Hayes, of Col orado Springs, a daughter of Mr. Davis, stated that after the death of Mr. Lincoln her father explain ed to her that the terrible deed was done by a crazy man, who uo doubt thought he was the saviour of the South, but who was really her very worst enemy. Mr. Davis further said: "Always remember, my little daughter, no wrong can ever make a right. The South does not wish her rights to come through dastard ly murders, but through fan- hihts. This is the bitterest blow that could have been dealt to the Southern cause. Lincoln was a ju.-,l man and would have been fair and gen crous in his treatment of the South ern people.

Wle. TELEPHONE RULES. Some of the telephone companies in Pennsylvania have recently put out a new book of rules for the use of subscribers, from which we make the following extracts: "No subscriber, when the line is in use, shall listen to the pass con versation with more than one ear at a time. "No subscriber found guilty of talking to a married woman over this line shall be allowed to vote at any regular or special meeting or to hold any position of honor or trust in this company. "No person shall be permitted to talk over this line f ,r the space of three days after having eaten on ions, garlic or cabbage. "All rights to the line shall be surrendered to the women who wants to tell her woman friend how to cut her new dress, how to make cucumber pickles, what to name the baby or when to transplant her pansies. "Business messages shall be re stricted to three minutes' duration, but shall always give way to the discussion of gossip, and no woman patron shall take more than one hour at a stretch unless she so de sires. "Don't ring off when you are done talking. No one is supposed to wish to use the tie unless some one else is determined to use it at the same instant." fr. Wonderful Transformation in Ocean Travel. (Emil L. lion in Leslie's Weekly.) The wealthy passenger for Eu rope does not now book a cabin of a steamship, but engages a suite, which is in reality a commodious flat, consisting of four luxuriously- appointed roo 111 s - -( 11a w 1 ng-room , dining-room, bedi 00111, and bath room furnished and decorated in the most costly and artistic man ner with a rare and beautiful varie ty of woods, upholstered with silks, damasks, tapestries, and brocades. Every possible convenience is pro videdeven the blessings of the telephone have noi been overlook ed, so that passengers in their state rooms may call up friends in dis tant parts of the ship and make ap pointments for dinner, etc. The morning constitutional is taken on deck almost as broad as a street, and a newspaper containing all the latest news of the world, as receiv ed by wireless telegraphy, is dis tributed every day. After dinner one may chat in the palm-garden. All this will show that the trans formation of ocean travel has been most wonderful in the last sixty years, considering that for hundreds of years before very slight improve ments were made.

The question la bow to dry clothes within the house on raluy days Is often a problem to the housewife. How easily It can be accomplished s shown hy the use of the clothes- drying rack Illustrated below, the In vention of an Iowa man. It constats of a standard, which supports IS rods four on each side. Normally, HAS SIXTEEN RODS. these rods recline In a vertical posi tion, the enure rack occupying but a small BDace. The rods nn ouch side are rlgdly secured to blocks wnicn are hinged to the top of the rack. By turnluir these blocks nn.l clamping them to the center of tho racs me rods are supported in a hori sontal position. It Is not necessary to insert each rod in position as It Is usually the case four rods being damped at one time. OASVOXIZA , IMMnOTi lti Kind You Haa Always Bought In tho Nuhnrn All lroicrty Is F.r nrrwd ly Camels. Primitive peoples who have 110 mo noy measure all values by that jida session which Is most dcslrod nnd most easily transferred. Thu among most of the inhabitants of the Sahara the camel Is the measure of nil aliiuH. Property, riches aud camels nro Rynoynious terms among most of tho dwellers in the Sahara. Dr. OoklHti-in of Germany wrote a while ago that if a Tuareg were set down In tho streets of Derlln th business blocks and residences would convey to him no idea of property. He would simply ask the greatest real estato landlord In the city how many camels he owned. When Klchardson met the Tuar- eps and was entertained by one of their chief the trawler was told by his hottt tlmt he wished to make Queen Victoria the finest present that any one could give her, and so he asked his guest to take back to her a meharl, which is a camel trained to lleetiiess nnd the most costly of Sahnran camels. While Harth was sojourning in Timbuktu there was danger for a few days Unit the street mob would attack his house. Ono of his wo men servants advised him to r movo his "halvnn" to a place of safety. This word means live stock, such as cattle or camelB, and Barth told the woman that he had only his horse with him. It was some time before he learned that tho servant did not refer particularly to his horse, but to all his possessions. When the Frenchman Hourst sue ceeded in levigating the Niger from its mouth to Timbuktu, some years ago, a desert dweller desiring to learn if he came of a family of sub stanco asked him how many camels his father owned and when Foureau crossed the desert with the largest exploring party that ever entered the Sahara he received from a wealthy native of Anger a present of a white camel and was told that it was the most expensive present that the rest dents of that region could give to any one. As a rule, however, the number of camels In the possession of one indiv idual Is not large. The average man considers himself well to do If he owns two or three animals; the im portant chief Is really wealthy if he possesses a herd of fifty or sixty, and tho richest chief whom Nachtigal met in his seven years wanderings was said to own about 100 camels. No one will part with his camels ex cepting at an exorbitant price. Four eau found it impossible to buy them In the heart of the desert for less than about 250 francs, which was double their value In Algiera. The grazing grounds are common to all and there is no property in land. The richest man lives In a tent and why should he sell camels to acquire the means to build a more commodious and substantial dwell ing when he expects to move to some other plaw In a few weeks or mon ths? He simply acquires all the camels he can get for the mere fun of having them. To be sure he buy wives with his camels. Just as the negro does with his cattle, and wives come very high lu the Sahara, the daughter of the ordinary man being worth as much as four camels, while the price of a chief's daughter can be commanded only by the wealthy. Some explor ers believe that very fat young wo men are most popular In the desert simply because camel's milk is fat tening and If a girl Is fleshy It shows that her father has given her all the camel's milk she can drink. Such a lather must have a number of camels Is therefore a wealthy man, and it will be a good thing to marry Into bis family. Stars and Storms. Much ot the beauty of the itin depends upon their scintillation Th multltudlous flashing of their tiny rays gives a wonderful life and bril liance to a winter's night. Thu great star Slrlus excites the most ad miration when, near the horizon, it coruscates with rainbow hues. But the astronomer would be glad If he could put a stop to the scintillation of the stars. That unsteadiness of their light Is one of the chief obsta cles he has to overcome in studying inein wun tne telescope. Scintillation has generally been re. garded as due only to slight distur bances in the atmosphere. But as recent observations have Bhown that red stars scintillate less than whltm ones, it has been suggested that the causes ror some of the essential diff erences in the scintillations of dlff- ernt Btars may be In the stars them selves. There la no doubt, however, that the main cause of scintillation depends upon the condition ot the air. Most people suppose that when the stars appear to lose their liveliness and light, and shine without twink ling, as minute, bright points in tho sky, lair weather is In prospect. Studies lately made in this country seem to contradict this popular be lief. It has been found that whea the stars are feeble in their Rnintnin- tlons, foul weather Is at hand. The night before a most violent storm in the south, for Instance, the stars hung so quietly In the sky that they Beam ed to have entirely lost their scintil lating power. This Is said to be only one Instance among many which show that an un. usual steadiness In the light of the Btars precedes the appearaneo of storms.
