POLITICAL. WE are authorised to announce the' name of ANDREW J. STEINMAN an candidate for the office of County Treasurer, subjectr o the rulcsand decisions of the Demo cratic plma ries. The air is fall of "arguments" against the proposed enactmtnt of a law reducing the maximum railroad passenger faro to two cents per mile. Wo are solemnly warjied that 44 the reduction of passenger rates by statute will certainly be followed by less lux uriant and complete service than the American people have been accustom ed to;" that "with the additional handicap of lower fares,radical action in reducing the number of trains will be imperative, and the country in a year or two will enter upon what will be a new passenger policy," etc. "Many trains have been run,"it is alleged, "which did not pay, and it will be necessary to eliminate these entirely." Dwellers in the larger cities especi ally are warned that so far as sub- i urban service is concerned roads like the Pennsylvania and Reading "will be compelled to make schedules which will astonish partons who have been accustomed to have trains ready for them at almost any time when they wanted to board them." All this,aud much more of like char acter, sounds very ominous, of course, but really it is not pertinent to the matter in hand. So far as the situa tion in Puusylvauia is concerned, the people have voted for two-cent fare, and the Legislature is bound to re spond to the demand. It is too late to argue as to whether or not a two-cent faro will bo a good or bad thing for the railroads or their patrons. The people, who created both the railroads aud the Legislature, demand this re form, and there is no gainsaying their will. If the railroads cannot give as good passenger service at two cents as at two aud one-half cents, who will suf fer most--the railroads or the travel ing public? Why should the railroads complain? It is their business to give the people the best they can or the price the peo ple are willing to pay. If the people don't like what they're getting, they can raise the maximum and give the railroads a chance to furnish a better quality of accommodations. But this talk of reprisals is non* sense. One of the very arguments urg ed against the two-cent fare proposi tion is that "the railroads for many years have competed with each other at groat expense in giving the public not only a sufficient passenger service, but more than that. Oompetitiou will continue. The people are seeing to i Mat also, through various measures designed to break up and prevent com binations between rival lines. The law of compotitiou will provide ample pro tection to the people from excessive roduction of accommodations. SACRED THREADS. The Cordn Worn by the Three Caatca of the Hindoo*. The sacred thread of the Brahmans fs well known. It Is a ceste distinction assumed nt an early age and never parted with. It must be made by a Brahman and should consist of three strands, each of a different color, for ty-eiglit yards In length, doubled and twisted togetfier twice, the ends tied In knots. It must be worn next tho skin, over the left shoulder, liangtng down to the thigh on the right side. The three castes of the Hindoos are distinguished by the material of these threads—cotton for the Brahmans, hemp for the warriors and wool for the artisans. The Parsees also wear the sacred thread, and boys of seven or nine are Invested with it, the threads used being inade always of fibers of the suru tree. Monier Williams de scribes the sacred girdle of the Par sees as made of seventy-two woolen threads, forming a Hat baud, which is twined three times around the body aud tied In two peculiar knots, the se cret of which is known ouiy to the Parsees. The use of "medicine cords" Is com mon among North American Indians. Mr. Bourke describes those worn by the Apaches. These consist of one, two, three and four strands, to which ore attached shells, feathers, beads, rock crystal, sacred green 3tones and other articles, doubtless employed sym bolically.—Chambers' Journal. win? nma oi lanmner.

Bravely arrayed In red and gold, It lies on the table of every diplomatist, Is In constant request In the newspaper of- ' flees of all countries and makes a wider and more international appeal than any other annual of reference in the world. It Is to Europe what iftirke and De brett and the other peerages are to the British isles, and it Is also the lineal ancestor and model of such topical en cyclopedias as our Whittaker, our Ha zell and our Statesman's Yearbook. A political and social history of the world for the last 150 years could be written from its s back numbers If these were readily accessible to stu dents. But they are not. The Alma nach de Gotlia began to appear In 17G3, but the purchasers did not file it for reference. The earliest numbers in the British museum are those for 1774 and 1783, and a complete set can be consulted nowhere except in the edito rial office In Friedrlch's Alice In tho little Tlniringlan capital. Probably not one In ten thousand of those who cur rently use the almanac has any knowl edge of Its Interesting history. It had of course -4ts predecessors. The bibliographies of almanacs are ponderous tomes, and tlie middle of the eighteenth century was the golden age of this kind of literature. In Paris alone as many as seventy-three alma nacs were published in the year 1700, Including a royal almanac, an almanac for merchants, an almanac for Free masons, an almanac of beasts, an al manac of badinage, etc. The city of 'Gotha Itself had Its own almanac from a still earlier date in the shape of an "improved Gotha genealogical and writing calendar," the origin of which is lost In the mist of antiquity, though a copy dated 1740 survives.—Francis Grlbble In Scrlbuer's. A FEAT OF MEMORY. ZauffwlU'ft Knowledge of the Faaena Trialn of History. As an Indication of the quality of ZangwlU's mental processes I may re late an incident that occurred while we were producing "The Children of the Ghetto." Mr. Zangwlll was seated In my office, and we were going over some of the details of the play. It was the day that Laborl, Intimately eon nected with the Dreyfus case In Paris, was assassinated. Knowing that Zang ! will had intimate knowledge of the | case, a New Yorlc newspaper sent a 1 representative up to see him. The re j porter entered and after conveying the I news said: "Mr. Znngwill, we want from you a history of ail the famous trials you can call to mind for our paper." "Indeed?" said Mr. £angwill. "I think I can prepare that for you. Come to see nie in three or four days, and I will have it ready." "We want' it now," objected the newspaper man. "We want to print It In our paper tomorrow morning." "But you surely don't expect me to quote you dates and facta out of my mind on the spur of the moment, do you?" asked Mr. Zangwlll in astonish ment. "Such a thing Is out of reason." "I'm sorry, hut It's the only way we can make use of It," replied the news paper man flrmly. Mr. Zangwill thought n moment and then asked If he could have my stenographer for a short time, lie was called In, and Zangwlll dic tated to him then and there a two col umn resume of all the famous trials ot history, from Savonarola down, and quoted every Important date and his torical feature connected with each.— From "Israel Zangwlll," by George C. Tyler, In Bohemian. BOSTON'S LACK OF HUMOR. An Kngllnh View of the I.nndmarka of the ''llub." I have said that Boston loves relics. The relics which It loves best are the relics of England's discomfiture. The stately portraits of Copley are of small account compared to the memorials of what was nothing else than a civil war. Faneuil hall, the Coveut Garden of Boston, presented to the city by Pe ter Faneuil some thirty years before the birth of "liberty," is now but an emblem of revolt. The Old South meet ing place is endeared to the citizens ot Boston as "the sanctuary of freedom." A vast monument, erected a mere quar ter of a century ugo, commemorates the "Boston massacre." And wherever you turn you are reminded of an episod® which might easily be forgotten. To an Englishman these historical land marks are inoffensive. The dispute which they recall aroused far less emo tion on our side of the ocean than on the other, and long ago we saw the events of the Revolution In a fair per spective. In truth, this insistence on the past is not wholly creditable to Boston's sense of humor. The passion ate paeans which Otis and his friends sang to liberty were Irrelevant. Lib erty was never for a moment In dan ger, if liberty, indeed, be a thing of fact and not of watchwords. The lead ers of the Revolution wrote and spoke 1 as though It was their duty to tliro\y i off the yoke of the foreigner—a yoke ' as heavy as that which Catholic Spain \ cast upon Protestant Holland. But there was no yoke to he thrown off, 1 because no yoke was ever imposed, and ' Boston might have celebrated greater J events In her history than that whlct) : an American statesman has wisely call ed "the glittering and sounding gener alities of natural right"—Charles Whit ley lu Blackwood's Magazine. WORKS OF A WATCH. All the I'urtM Are lint the Expression of One Idea. To one who has never studied tho mechanism of a watch Its mainspring or the balance wheel is a mere piece of metal, lie may have looked at tho face of the watch, and while he admires the motions of its hands and the time it keeps he may have wondered In idle amazement as to the character of the machinery which is concealed within. Take it to pieces and show lilni eacli 3 part separately, and he will recognize neither design nor adaptation nor rela . tion between them, but put thepj to i, gother. set them to work, point out the j offices of each spring, wheel aud cog, explalu their movements and then , show him the result. Now he perceives that it Is all one design; that, notwlth j stundlng the number of parts, their di verse forms and various offices and tho agents concerned, the whole piece fs of one idea. He now rightly concludes that when the mainspring was fashion ed and tempered Its relation tq all tho other parts must have been considered► • that the cogs on this wheel are cut aud regulated—adapted—to the ratchets on that, eti>„ and L!s final conclusion will be that sucty a piocp of mechanism eould not have beeu (/roduced by chance, for tho adaptation of the parte : is such as to show It to be uccording t? design and obedient to the will of on* lntellUroucSb-ap"- - THE PASSION PLAY. Its Origin, According to the Tradi tion of Ohcriinimerjran. According to local tradition, the ori gin of tho Oberaniniergau Passion play was as follows: When in the year 1633 a deadly plague threatened to de ' populate the districts of Partenkirchen. Escheloke and Kohlgrub. which are separated from Ammerthal, or the val ley of the Ainiuer, by a rampart of mountains, the Ammerthalers succeed ed for a time In protecting themselves against the dread contagion, but oue day a native who had been working all summer at Escheloke evaded the quar antine anil entere.l the Ammerthal by a secret path in order to annual church festival with his fam ily. Two days afterward he was a corpse, and in less than three weeks the plague had carried off eighty-four of the Ammerthalers. Despairing of ull human soever, ttie terrified survivors addressed thein •elves to (Jod and registered a solemn vow that if he heard their prayer aud removed the scourge they would rep resent, every ten years, "for thankful remembrance and edifying contempla tion, and by the help of the Almighty, tho sufferings of Jesus, the Saviour of the world." Not a single pefson died of the plague after the vow was made, though many were affected by It. The first representation of the Passion play In fulfillment of the vow of these simple villagers took place at Oberaniniergau hi the following year, and it has been repeated every ten years without a single omission. FEMININE INFLUENCE. Howliere In It More Frtt i*ad Lean Recognized Than In France. There Is still in every Frenchman a great deal of the oriental way of look ing at woman. And the French wife knows It, but she goes on helping her "man," be she duchess or midlnette. She will forgive again and again; she will let him squander her dot and will learn how tj do with fewer frocks (the delight of every Frenchwoman) In an ever pitiful attempt to patch up the fortune and happiness he has wrecked. If she happen to be a shopman's wife he needs no bookkeeper or manager; she will be there from morning till night, the slave of the ledger, careful of ev ery centime, while he, too, often will leave the heavier part of the business In her capable hands and turn his at tention to a domino party at the near est cafe. If she bo a peasant's wife no one on the farm will slave harder than she. There Is scarcely any labor which she will not undertake. In every sphere woman Is too often the man of the house. Nowhere Is feminine inlluencc more active, more felt and less recognized than in France, and nowhere among the civilized na tions is man more dependent on wom an, more attached to her aud less re spectful.—London Mall. Speed of Sound*. "Judge David Torrence of Derby, Conn.," said a New Haven man, "lit tered many an epigram from the bench. In a case concerning a noise nuisance a scientist was once testifying before him nbout the speed of sound. ► 'Sound.' said the man, 'travels at the rate of 400 yards a second.' " 'All sound?' asked Judge Torrence. "'Ail,' replied tho scientist. "The Judge smiled. 41 'l'm sure you're wrong,' he said. 'I have noticed a great difference be tween tli" speed of certain kinds of sound. Thus, slander travels at the rate of quite 1,000 yards a second; flat tery, 500 yards, while truth makes on ly a few feet a second, and, slow as Its progress is, truth often fails to reach the goal, no matter how short the dls tance.'

Visitors to Mexico and other tropical countries often have their attention called to"the strangling fig"—a tree that commences its growth as an epi phyte—that U, ono form of plant life that grows perched on another—far up on the trunk or among the branches of another tree, usually op a palmetto or some of the kinds of palms. The root* of the strangling tree extend down ward around the host tree to the ground, gradually joining together, making a tubelike mass of roots some times as much as six feet or more in diameter. When the attacked tree Is a palm death to it is caused not so much by tho binding around the trunk as by shad ing out Its branches by the attacking tree. When the attacked tree Is an exogen —that Is, one with wood and bark—the attacking roots bind so tightly as to cause a stoppage of the flow of the sap. As the sap of a tree Is really Its food (changed by the leaves so that It cap be used) and the flow of the food is thus stopped, the attacked tree Is real ly "starved" to death. So death to the attacked tree -Is caused either by j smothering or by starvation or by both, i The peculiar mapper In which the flattened roots extend down and around the tree give them the appearance of some thick, slow flowing material run ning down the tree.—St. Nicholas. THE HOUSE OF LORDS. What Tlil« Great ISrlil*l» luntitutloa j IlcurcHcntH. At first sight there is not much like- I ness between the comfortable country | gentlemen, retired lawyers, blase men j of fashion and liberal subscribers to i party funds, who now drop into rath- J er than frequent their magnificent hall, j i end "the mail covered barons, who ' proudly to battle led their vassals from I Europe to Palestine's plain" In the days of the Ilenrys and Edwards, but In one point the house has always maintained Its character through cen turies—it is an aristocracy of birth, but 1 It is still more emphatically one of wealth. The law of entail and primo geniture has kept the landed estates to gether as far as the law can. Mauy have passed by heiresses to new names or been sold by spendthrift lords, many holders of ancient titles have lost Uie wealth that glided their ancestors' cor onets, but new peors are almost: al ways rich, and a title Is still an at traction to an heiress. We sometimes hear that the house of lords represents nothing. This Is false. It represents property. Tupnyson's new Lincolnshire farmer, whose horse's hoofs trotted "proputty, proputty, proputty," Is the type of' a vast pumber of EngUshmep, Such men are not only content, but proud, to be represented by the house of lords.

Cincinnati O. February 21). The I most interesting feature of the enor mous sale of the Cooper preparations, I now going on in this city, is what the I medicines are actually accomplishing j among the people of Cincinnati. At the commencement of his visit here Mr. Cooper prophesied that dur ing the later part of his stay he would receive hundreds of callers daily who { came simply to thank him for what the preparations had done. He also stated that stomach trouble is the! foundation for a great many diseases and that his New Discovery, as it is called, would prove very effective in all cases of rheumatism simply by getting the stomach in working order. That this prophecy has been fulfill ed cannot be doubted after a half hour spent at the young man's head quarters listening to what his callers J have to say. A reporter, who watched to ascer tain, if possible, some light on the 1 reasons for the immensity of Cooper's j success interviewed about twenty of his callers yesterday afternoon. The \ statements made by those seen indi cate that physicians who claim that Cooper is merely a passing fad, have, not looked into the facts. Some of these statements were as follows: Miss Sallie Middleton living at 1957 Central Av. upon being ques tioned, said: "I have been troubled with general weakness, dizziness, headache, sleep lessness and stomach disorders for a number of years, suffering all the time with my kidneys and back. 1 ! had tried a number of medicines and visited several doctors but none help ed me. I heard on all sides of these Cooper remedies and decided to try them. Any one who says that they are not wonderful medicines, does not know what they are talking about. After I used the first bottle, 1 noticed a decided improvement. I have taken j three bottles of the New Discovery and 1 now feel as well as I ever have in my life. I sleep and eat as I have not done for years, and 1 am happier j TIIE DOOM OP VENICE IT MAY BE TO LIE IN THE BOSOM OF THE ADRIATIC. The r«ui»UN Delia of St. May Toll on Ocean's Depth* Like Thone of Old Port lloynl—The Sunken Cities of the World, It Is believed by ninny fliat Venice Is sinking Into the Adriatic and that she gradually will disappear beneath the waters of the great lagoon from which her palace crowned Islands arise. Other cities have gone that way before her, and ships now sail over spots which were once teeming with a populous life. At the entrance to the haHbor of King- , stou, Jamaica, the original city of Port Royal lies fathoms deep beneath the blue and sunlit waters of the Carjb- | beau sea. A narrow strip of land, on j which are a small settlement and a fort, Is all that Is left of what was once the richest and wickedest town in the West Indies. It was the resort of pirates, who rested there from their | depredations and made the city hid eous with their revelry. But these pi- j rates brought great stores of their loot to the city, and Its commerce grew and nourished. Palaces and churches were built, a pirate often striving by a rich endowment of a church to square his accounts with heaven. Throughout the greater part of the seventeenth century no town In the western world was so magnificent a* to its buildings or so luxurious as to Ita habits as Port Royal. Then one day in JG92 the anger of the Lord shook the Island of Jamaica, and the greater pan of Port Royal sank beneath the sea, carrying with it hundreds of Its in<- habitants. Towers, churches, palaces and forts went down, many of them not tumbling In ruins by the shock, but sinking bodily beneath the waves. On a bright day, sailing over the spot where Port Royal once stood, one can look far down through the clear water and see the remains of the city still standing there on the ocean bot torn, with lishes swimming about among Its towers and great tropical seaweods waving from its sunken walls. The negroes of Jamaica—and son?e white people, too—will tell you that be fore a storm the suukeu bell of the great cathedral which went down with the city on that awful day in 1G92 can be heard distinctly tolling below the I waves, rung as a warning by the ghostly hands of the spirits of depart ed buccaneers which h iunt the subma i line city. People who do not believe in ghosts, but think they have heard the tolling of the bed. say the explanation Is that when the city sunk the great bell of the cathedral was not thrown I from Jts place, l»'it qtill hangs as It originally did. The coming storm be fore It reaches Jamaica stirs up the waters of the Caribbean and sends In upon the shore deep waves, which roll ! through the sunken city and set the j hell ii lollliis. • Another sunken city of renown is j Balae, that splendid resort on the Ital ian coast where Nero and Caligula I "reveled und drank deep." A strag ! gliu;/ village aud heaps of marble ruins , still stand upou the shorn und bear the name of Uaiae, but the greater part of the city lies beneath tiie waters of the Mediterranean, and tourists from Na ples go out there to gaze down into the waters and try to catch a glimpse of the submerged cltv. The resort of all the wealthy nobles of Rome when Rome was mistress of the world, Balae was a marvel of lux urious splendor. Palace after palace was built on the shore, and architects designed magnificent structures ex tending out into the sea, When Koine decayed and the (Jotlis ravaged Italy, Paine was sacked by ! the Invaders. Soon nftcr the city be gau to sink. First the buildings which hnd their foundation In HJO wator sub sided beneath the waves, and then the sea made an attack on the land. shore line receded, and the Mediterranean flowed through the streets where Hadrian had driven his Imperial chariot aud Horace had walk ed thinking of his next poem. These promontories, crowned with grand towers and gorgeous palaces, yrere undermined and toppled into thg,, I than I have been for a long time. I have come here to thank Mr. Cooper I lor what he has done for inc." ! The statement of Mrs. M. E. Em erson living at 030 \V. Court St., was | as follows: "I have suffered with stomach trou ble and constipation for a year or so. When I ate 1 would have bloated spells, sourstomach, fermentation bad taste iu my mouth. In the morning, 1 was as tired as when I went to bed. 1 had a dull pain in the lower part of my back. I have taken almost one bottle of the New Discovery and 1 am wonderfully improved that I have i come down here to thank Mr. Cooper in person and obtain more of the medicine." Another statement was made by Mr E. Luken living at 1006 Gcst St., who said: "1 have been a sufferer with rheumatism for several years. I could not walk or stand on my feet j when Mr. Cooper came to Cincinnati, j Nothing helped me in any way and I I despaired of finding relief, I was in a general rundown condition, also, and had some stomach trouble. Hear ing of his wonderful work my father : consulted him regarding my case and purchased a bottle of his New Discov ery. After I had finished that oue bottle I was able to walk down town i and see him myself." "I have continued to take this won derful medicine and I am now with out a sign of rheumatism. My gen eral health is also greatly improved and I have not felt so well for years. I would not have believed that there was a medicine on earth that would do what this lias done for me. I am so much happier that I am very grate ful to the man that has made it possi ble for ine to regain my health. He lias the most wonderful medicine that I know anything about." j Other statements taken from those who had previously used the medi cines seem to prove that Cooper's suc j cess throughout the country is gen | nine. fifep until at last t!»-* major part of the splendid city was submerged. Its disappearance was not sudden, like that of Port Royal, and due to some convulsion of nature, but Balae went down to Its deatli gradually, as Venice Is said to be going. Iu Holland the subsidence of the land has brought It about that many towns once populous are now covered by the cea. The old Roman enmp at Brlttenburg, nfter slu!;lng beneath the waves, emerged again In 1 "20, only to disappear, and Its renin ins now lie in deep water opposite the town of Ivat- . wljk. The original Katwljk Itself now Is beuenth the waters, as also are the original towns of Schevenlngcn, Dom burg and TCgmond. In fact, a succes i slon of towns bearing these names Is , now at the bottom of the sea, for they repeatedly ave been rebuilt farther Inland as the land sunk and the waves | come Into t ike possession. ' The Goodwin : ands, large and dan gerous shoals off the southeast cdast of England, were once above the wa ter and formed a flourishing estate, j the property of Karl Godwin. There j was no city on the Godwin estate when ' it subsided beneath the sen, but sev j oral small illage.- went down to the deep when .to tra't of country grad ually dlsapj wired beneath the waters.

John Stow, the celebrated English antiquary, was a remarkable man. lie was born of poor parents about 1523 and brought up to the tailor's trade For forty years his life was passed among needles and thread, but In the few leisure hours which his trade al lowed him he had always been a fond render of legends chronicles, histories and all th.it told of the times that were past.

At Freiburg, Baden, In front of an old chapel rich In mediaeval painting depicting the rewards of virtue and the wages of sin, stands a great cross, at its foot a skull with a nail driven Into the temple. A shoemaker of Freiburg, according to tradition, died suddenly in the good old days before coroners and juries were too inquisitive and was buried i near where the cross stands. Scarcely i had the earth upon his grave been wet j by the rains before his wife took a see i ond husband. Neighbors talked, but that was all. i One night the priest of the parish i awoke to find standing at the foot of j id* bed the ghost of the dead shoe- I maker. The ghastly figure raised a i gory lock from its forehead and polnt ! Ed to a nail driven In the temple. , The body was exhumed, and there was the evidence of the crime Just ns i the specter had indicated. Tho wife ! confessed the murder and was execut ; ed. Rut the skull was placed at the [ foot of the cross as a warning. | "The effect was most wholesome.*' relates the truthful chronicler, M for fc.inco then not a wife of Freiburg has / murdered her husband."
