Weyler's procedure as a suppresser
of insurrection was very simple and
ery ator to Weyler, says the
Chronicle Telegraph. “It is
; true 1 bad many people shot,” said the
butcher, yesterday at Corunna, ‘but
before beginning to shoot I offered fall
pardons, which the Insurgents refused.”
Weyler was death. The inrgeats
preferred to die rather than to live in
servitude to tyrannical Spain and her
tyrannical governors. Their spirit was
the same which caused Patrick Henry
to cry, “1 know not what course others
may take, but as for me, give me lib-
erty or give me death!” The liberty.

RAILROAD AIR BRAKES
Although the law of 1583 obliging
railroads subject to the jurisdiction of
the Interstate Commerce Commission to
equip their freight cars and locomotives
with automatic brakes and car couplers
is to become opersti tive on January 1,
many of the roads have not complied
with the provisions of the law. The
commission is authorized ander the act
to grant to railroads applying therefor
an extension of time within which to
comply with ite provisions, and it is
going to give a hearing to such rail-
roads on December 1. Out of 436 roads
reporting to the commission 75 roads,
or 17.20 per cent., will be equipped
with automatic conplers by January 1
Sixty railroads, or about 14 per cent,
will be equipped with train brakes by
the same date, and out of 517 roads 96
per cent., will be provided with power
driving-wheel brakes on locomotives.

“Reyveral weeks ago in London,” said
an English tourist, “1 was standing be.
side an American acquaintance, when
I expressed a wish to know which
point was north. He pulied ont a
watch, looked at it, and pointed ont
the right direction. [| asked him
whether he had a compass attached to
hin watch. ‘All watches are com passes.”
he replied. Then he explained to me
how this was. Paint the hour hand to
the sun, and the soath is exactly half
way between the hour and the figure
XH onthe dial. For instance, sap
pose it is 4 o'clock. Point the band
indicating 4 to the sun, and IL on the

that it is 8 o'clock. Point the hand
