A Practical Test. , Dom Petlro, tli last etnpiror of Bra all, was a niftn of a prnotlonl turn of Orlnd, na the followyig atory told of him well Illustrates, says Harper's Hound Table. He once gnve on audience to a young engineer who came to show him n new appliance for mopping railway rnjrlnos. The emperor wna lilonsiMl with tho jdea, but wished to put It to n lirut.-tlnil teat. "lny after to-morrow," anld he, "have your engine ready. We will have It coupled to my salooii-cnrrlnjre ln! start. When going nt full Reed I will give the slgntil to atop and then we 111 see how your Invention works." 1 At the aptmlnted time nil wna In rend I ncsa. The enijieror entered his car riage, the young Inventor mounted his engine nnd on they aped for several 'miles as fast ns they could go. There I'ame no signal, nnd the engineer bo- fan to fonr that tho emperor had fallen sleep. Suddenly the engineer came to a sharp curve around the edge of the cliff, when, to his horror, on the track directly ahead of them tho engineer caw a huge bowlder. . He had jHst stttllclcnt presence of mind to turn the crunk of his brake and pull the engine up within a couple of yards of the fatal block. Here tho emperor put his head out of his car window nnd demanded to know the cause of the sudden stoppage. The engineer pointed to the rock, nnd, much to his surprise, Dom l'edro began to laugh. "I'ush It to one side and go on," ho aid, calmly. The engineer obeyed and kicking the (tone was still further astonished to eeft crumble Into dut liefore him. It was nothing more nor less than a block of starch which the emperor had had placed on the rails tho ulgbt be fore. A Simple Fire Kxtlngolsher. Hand-grenades, the simplest form of Ire-extinguisher, can be made at homo cheaply and candy. And It Is well to have at hand a simple contrivnnce for extinguishing a small Dro at Its start.

It la believed that by a careful exercise of the powers conferred by that act some arlevancen ()f our own and of other countries In our mutual trade re lations may be either removed or large ly allevlnted. and that the volume of our commercial exchanges mny be en larged, with advantage to both con tracting parties. Most desirable from every standpoint of national Interest and patriotism Is the effort to extend our foreign com , nierce. To this end our tnerchnnt mnrlno should be Improved and en Irtwd. We should dn our full slmre nf ' the enrrylna: trade of the world. We do not do It now. We should be the lag gard no longer. The Inferiority of our merchant marine Is justly humiliating to the national pride. The government, I by every proper constitutional means, should aid In making our ships familiar visitors at every commerclul port of the world, thus open In it up new and val uable markets to the surplus product of the farm nnd the factory. I INTERNATIONAL ARniTRATION. International arbitration can not be omitted from the list of subjects claim ing our consideration. Events have only served to strengthen the general views on this question expressed In my Inaugural address. The best sentiment of the civilised world Is moving toward the settlement of differences between nations wthout resorting to the honors of war. Treaties embodying these hu mane principles on broad lines with out In any nay Imperiling our Interests or our honor shall have my earnest en courn gemetit. THK STATR OF THK NAVY. The present Immediately effective, force of the navy consists of four bat tleships of the flrst-class, two of the second, nnd 48 other vessels, ranging from armoured cruisers to torpedo boats. There are under construction Ave battleships, as It has been Impos sible to obtnln It nt the price fixed by t'ongress. It Is of great Importance that Congress provide this armor, as until then the ships are of no fighting Value. The great Increase of the navy, which has tnken place In recent years, was Justified by the requirements for nation al defense, and tins received public ap probation. The time has now arrived, however, when this Increase, to which the country Is committed, should, for a time, take the form of Increased fnrll tles commensurate with the Increase of our naval vessels. It Is an unfortunate fact that there Is only on dock on the Pnelllc const capable of docking our largest ships, and only one on the At lantic coast, and that the Intter has for the last six or seven months been under repair, and therefore Incapable of use., Immediate steps should be taken to provide three or four docks of this ca pacity on the Atlantic const, at lenst one on the Pacific coast, and a floating dock on the Oulf. This Is the recommenda tion of a very competent board, ap pointed to Investigate the subject. There should also be ample provision made for powder and projectiles, nnd other muni tions of war, and for an Incrensel num ber of officers nnd enlisted men. Some additions are also necessary to our navy yards for the repair and care of our larger number of vessels. As there are now on the stocks five battleships of the largest class, which cannot be complet ed for a year or two, I concur with the recommendation of the secretary of the navy for an appropriation authorizing the construction of one battleship for tho Pacific const, where at present therj Is only one In commission, and one under construction; and also that sev eral torpedo boats be authorized In con nection with our general system of coast defense. , , THK GOVERNMENT OP ALASKA. Tho territory of Alaska requires the prompt and early attention of Congress. The conditions now existing demand material changes In the laws relating to the territory. The great Influx of popu lation during the past summer and fall and the prospect of a still lnrger Immi gration In the spring will not permit us to longer neglect the extension of civil authority within the territory or post pone tho establishment of a more thor ough government. The startling though possibly exag gerated reports from the Yukon river country of the probable shortage of food for the large number of people who are wintering there without tne means of leavng tho country are confirmed in such measure as to Justify bringing the matter to the attention of Congress. Acccess to that country In winter can be had only by the passes from Dyea and vicinity, which Is a most difficult and perhaps an impossible task. However, should theso reports of tho suffering of our fellow citizens be further verified, every efTort at any cost should bo made to carry them relief. NATIONAL. QUARANTINE LAW'S. The recent prevalence of yellow fever In a number of cities and towna throughout the South has resulted In much disturbance of commerce and demonstrated the necessity of such amendments to our quarantine laws as will make the regulations of the nation al quarantine authorities permanent. Tho secretary of the treasury In that' portion of his report relating to the operation of the Marine Hospital service calls attention to the defects In the present quarantine laws and recom mends amendments thereto which will give the Treasury Department the re quisite authority to prevent the inva sion of epdemlo diseases from foreign countries, and in times of emergency like that of the past summer will add to the efficiency of the sanitary meas ures for the protection of the people and at the same time prevent unnecessary restriction of commerce. I concur In his reoommendaton. THE PACIFIC RAILROADS. The Union Pacific railroad, main line, was sold under the decree of the United States Court for the District of Ne braska on the 1st and 2d of November of this year. The amount due the gov ernment consisted of the principal of the subsidy bonds. 27.230,r1, and the accrued interest thereon, 131,211,711.73, making the total Indebtedness $;8.44S, 233.75., The bid at the sale covered the first mortgage lien and the entire mort gage claim of the government, princi pal and interest. The sale of the subsidized portion of the Kansas Pacific line, upon which the government holds a second mort gage lien, has been postponed at the in stance of the government to December 1. J87. The debt of this division of the Union Pacific railway to the govern ment on November 1. 1897, was the prln cipal of the subsidy bonds, 6.303,000, and the unpaid and accrued Interest there on, $6,626,690.83, making a total of its,. 829,6it0.33. The sale of this road was originally advertised for November 4, but for the purpose of securing the utmost publio notice of the event It was postponed until December 16, and a second adver tisement of the sale was made. By the decree of the court the upset price on the sale of the Kansas Pacific will yield to the government the sum of 13.600,000 over all prior liens, costs and charges. If no other or better bid Is made this sum Is all that the government will re ceive on Its claim of nearly llS.noo.OOO. The government haa no Information as to .whether there w ill b other bidder or a better bid than the minimum amount herein stated. The question presented, therefore, Is: Whether the government shall tinder the authority glvn It by th act of March 3, 1H87, pur chnse or redeem the rond In the event that a bid Is not made by private par ties covering the entire government to clnlm. To qualify the government to bid nt the sales will require a deposit of IWHi.OOO, ns follows: In the government cause r00.(XK and In each of tho first mortgage causes $200,000, nnd In the Int ter the deposit must be In cash. Pay ments at the sale are as follows: Upon the acceptance of the bid, a sum which with the ntiiount already deposited, shall equal 15 per cent, of the bid; the balnnce in Installments of 25 per cent., thirty, forty and fifty days after the confirmation of the sale. The lien on tho Kansas Pacific prior to thnt of th"! government on the 30th of July, 1S07, prlncpnl and Interest, amounted to $7, 2!l.Wll.ll. The government, therefore, should It become the highest bidder, will have to pay the amount of the first mortgage Hen. I believe thnt under the act of 1887 It has the authority to do this, and In nb sence of any action by Congress I shall direct the Hecretnty of the Treasury to make the necessary deposit ns required by tho court's recree to qualify as a bidder and to bid at the sale of a sum which will nt lenst equal the principal of the debt due to the government; but suggest In order to remove nil contro versy that an amendment of the law be Immedlntely passed explicitly giving such powers and appropriating in gen eral terms whatever sum Is sulllclent therefor. , In such an mtmrtnnt matter as the government becoming the posslb'e own er of rallroud property, which It must I perforce conduct and operate, I feel constrained to lay before Congress these facts for Its consideration ami action I before the consummation of the sale. , it Is clear to my mind that the govern ! mettt rhould not permit the prop rty to j be sold nt a price which will yield less ! than the one-half of the principal of Its ilebt, and less than one-tltth of Its en tire debt, principal nnd Interest. Hut whether the government, rather than accept less than Its claim, should he come a bidder and thereby the owner of the property, I sumbit to the Congress for action. THE NATIONAL I.1HRARY. The library building provided fur by act of Congress approver April 15, lS'itl. has been completed and opened to the public. It should lie a mutter of con gratulation that through the foresight and munificence of Congress the nation possesses this noble treasure house of knowledge. It Is earnestly to be hope 1 that having done so much towards the cause of education, Congress will con tinue to develop the library in every phase of research to the end thnt It may be not only one of the most mugnlllcent but among the richest and most useful libraries In the world. . CIVIL SEIIVICIC REFORM. The important branch of our govern ment known as the civil service, the practcal Improvement of which lias long been a subject of earnest discus sion, has of late years received In creased legislative and executive appro val. During the past few months the service has been placed upon a still firmer basis of business methods and personal merit. While the right of our veteran soldiers to reinstatement In de serving rases has been asserted, dis missals for merely political reason have been carefully guarded against, the ex aminations for admittance to the ser vice enlarged and at the same time rendered less technical and more prac tical; and a distinct advance has been made by giving a hearing before dis missal upon all cases where incompe tency la charged or demand made for the removal of officials In any of the departments. This order has been made to give to tho accused his right to be heard, but without In any way Im pairing the power of removal, which should always be exercised In cases of Inefllciency and Incompetency, and which Is one of the vital safeguards of the civil service reform system, pre venting stagnation and (lend wood and keeping every employe keenly alive to the fact thot the security of his tenure dpends not on favor but on his own te3ted and carefully watched record of service. Much of course still remains to be ac complished before the system can be made reasonably perfect for our needs. There aro placed now in the classified service which ought to be exempted and others not clnsslfled may properly be Included. I shall not hesitate to exempt cases which I think have been Impro perly included In the classified service or include those which In my Judgment will bast promote the public service. The system has the approval of the peo pie and It will be my endeavor to up hold and extend it. I am forced by the length of this mes sage to omit many Important references to affairs of the government with which Congress will have to deal at the pre. sent session. They are fully dlscused in the departmental reports, to all of which I Invite your earnest attention. The estimates, of the expenses of the government by the several departments will, I am sure have your careful scru tiny. While the Congress may not find It an easy task to reduce the ex penses of the government, it should not encourage their Increase. These ex penses will, In my judgment, admit of a decrease In many branches of the gov ernment without Injury to the publio service. It is a commending duty to keep the appropriations within the re ceipts of the government and thus avoid a deficit. WILLIAM M'KINLEY. Executive Mansion, December 6, 1897. A Fscetiont Cold. A striking example of Charles Dick ens' chivalrous regard for an absent friend is recalled by Dean Farrar. Mr. Sims Reeves had been announced U sing at a small publio dinner at which Dickens presided, and, as happened not Infrequently, Mr. Sims Hueves had something the matter with his throat and was unable to attend. Dickens an nounced this, and tho announcement was received with a general laugh of Incredulity. This made Dickena very angry, and he rose manfully to the de fense of tho delinquent. "My friend, Mr. Sims Reeves," he said quietly, "re grets his Inability to fulfill his engage ment, owing," he added with caustic severity, "to an unfortunately amusing and highly facetious cold."

The most wonderful teniplo In the world Is built on a rocking stone on tho summit of a mountain In Northern In dia. It la Impossible to Imagine a more wonderful situation than that of this temple. The rocking stone Is sltun.ted on a mountain over twenty thousand feet high. It weighs ninny thousands of tons, but Is balanced on so fine a point that a comparatively light pres sure Is sufficient to make It sway. Whether or not the great rock was raised to Its present position by human hands Is a mystery to scientific minds. If it was, tbe labor waa one to which no modern engineering feat can be compared. The Hindu priests teach their followers that the rock was placed in position by the help of the gods. In this way they add considera bly to tbe feeling of awe which tbey doslre to create. Tbe worshippers at this shrine must first make the ascent of the mountain, a matter of great dif ficulty. Then they spend seven days of preparation in a temple built on the solid mountain before they are permit ted to make tbe final passage to the mysterious rocking stone. To reach the stone It is necessary to cross n bridge over a great chasm. Knturo nnd mnh lind combined to make this Hindu shrine awe-Inspiring to the devout. Af ter crossing the bridge the pilgrim mounts a ladder, to which ho clings In terror for bis life here and in the here after. The temple on tbe rock Is nec essarily a small place. Three priests officiate in It, Tho mysteries which take place there no man is permitted to reveal. Europeans have seen It from a distance. I'M ! 1 I HOW? By soothing and subduing the pain.
