Ordinary illuminating gas has. as is well known. the properties that produce asphyxiation, :md vcn though the vic- tims may survive tho accident of inhaling a large umount of gas, the h 'llCllll‘llt‘, nnusou and prostration following such an expericncc are distressing in the cxtrczuc. It is often the caso thiir pmplc who live in hltuscs lighted by gns suffer serious consc- qucnccs y'iihout being aware of it. They do not inhale enough to attract their at- tention. but the poisonous vapor slowly but surely undermincs their health and produces headaches, congestion and u long train of unsuspected cvils. Especially is this the case where what is known as water gas is used. This gas is made by heating hard coal to a white heat, than passing steam over it. The carbon dccozm poses the steam, and then, uniting with . the oxygen, formsa gas known as carbonic . oxide, which is deadly in the extreme. l The immediate cause of death from car- 3 bonic oxide is that it destroys the red blood corpuscles in the animal body. . These red corpusclcs convey oxygen to every portion of the system. The carbonic oxide destroys the oxygen, and in consc- qucncc there is a. sort of suffocation of tho blood, which results in death in a very short time. There are many instanccs of death from gas poisoning in houses illuminntcd by other means. In several cases it tool: a long time for the authorities to discover that the gas escaped through dcfnctive pipcs and made its way through the earth into thz‘ dwclling and slowly srzppcd the vitally: cf i-ho unsuspecting occupants.â€" Ncw York Ledger. s 1 I The Dangers From Escapivo‘ Gus. !

A Boat 4.500 Years Old. A viking craft found in Norway some time ago was in use about tho year 1000 A. D., and at once became famous as by for the oldest specimen of watercraft in xistencc. Tho boats in the Gizch mu- seum, it was decided by the learned, were used at least 4,500 years ago, and were contemporaneous with the Dasbur pyra- mids of the eleventh Egyptian dynasty. With this boat and the two which rc- main in the Cairo museum were two more, which still rest in the sands which stretch desolatcly from the Dushur pyramids, nczu‘ which they were found. The five boats were found buried ata considerable depth, not far from the famous largest pyramid, and in such orderly form and with such mathematical relationship to the great pile of stone that it was evi- dent that they bud been buried with dc- sign at that particular spot. ~ The boats were found to be alike in the material of which they were constructed and in their general dimensions. The ce- dar of antiquity, which entered into so lunch of the construction of things of wood, was used in building these boats. While the equipments of the boats had generally disappeared with time, their shapely outlines still remained. The boat that is in Chicago now was probably better preserved than any. It is 30 feet long, 8 feet of beam and 4 feet of [ hold. A well preserved and peculiarly marked and designed piece of rudder of wood was found near the boatsâ€"Harper’s Round Table. The Irishman Scored. Some years ago an Irish gentleman went into the British museum. While looking at a book one of the officials ap- proached him saying: “That book, sir, was once owned by Henry VIII.” “ Pshaw l” replied the Irishman. “ That’s nothing!

Our man- “ours, though u little brusque, are good, as manners nlwnysare in a community which has no ”social superiors.” Evcry man in the village who is not specially murlcml out; by vice or poverty feels himself to be the equal, in all essential matters, of every other man in the world, and this feeling goes a long way toward producing that louullty which it assumes. Tbcrc is ab- s'olutely no stealing among us; it would be gruricctly safe to leave all your valuables ur. the front. piazza at night, and pm'hups :his immunity is one result of equality. 'l‘o stcul is a confession of inferiority, in- mlornhlo among equals. (Cheating in a 2::3 rsc trade stands, of course, on a. dificrcnt footing, and may be practiccd without cu» tire loss of self respect.) Mr. Howells has expressed this truth. “I believe," hc. says. ”that if ever we have equality in this I world, which so many good men have hoped for, theft will be unknown.” 'l‘hc absolute equality which prcvu'ls ..u:cng us lzus its good and bud sides.

We iii-c course, but never vulgar. \ ulgnrity implies u consciousness or semi- :onsciousness of inferiority, and among u<, as I have said. more is no such con- sciousness. On the contrary, there is. u want of reverence in the village. There is no person or group of persons to set a standard of manners or of morals for thc rust of the community. Nobody looks up to anybody elseâ€"not even to the xninistcr. Age itself scarcely invites respect, and ibis want of reverence giycsu certain hard and flippant tone to our lives.

Stories of Brahms. Anecdotes about Brahms show the de- parted composer to have been a somewhat nnamiablo companion. His wit was bril- liant, but cruel, and its direct object could rarely join in the amusement it crcatcd. One story begins with the statement tlm as a performer Brahms had an extremely hard touch. This ouco led a musician who was accompanying him on the cello to ex- claim, “I don’t hear myself.” “Ab," re- plied Brahms, “you are a lucky fellow." When he left the room after a lively even- ing among friends, he uscd to remark, “If there is any one present whose feelings I have not hurt, I trust be will receive my humble apology.” Brahms never could bring himself to produce an opera. “If I composed one which failed, I should certainly have a second try,“ he said to pressing friends, “but I cannot make up my mind to the first. To me the undertaking seems much the same as marriage.” The latter insti- tution found no favor in his eyes, and be lived on isolated existence, recognizing no kinsfolk.-â€"Ncw York Times. - ¢ - . EGGS OF COMMERCE. The Big Business Done In the Interna- tlonnl Trading In Them. There is a standard joke in the variety theaters, so often told that it has come to have a. familiar sound to the ears of pa- trons, concerning a remark made by a city man who heard that eggs had gone down to a cent apiece, “I don’t see how the hens can do it for the price." Notwith~ standing the reduction in the price of eggs, and the almost unlimited supply of them in all countries that have developed their agricultural resources, it is a fact that the trade in eggs, their exportation from one country to another, has become a large item of international commerce, as some recent figures show. The case of Don- mark is in point. Denmark’s trade in eggs with foreign countries, chiefly with England and Scotland, has grown enor- mously. Twenty years ago the annual Danish export of eggs was 600,000; now it isncirqned .at no. 000.000. who am. r as it was then.

Marriage" is the title of a. limit» book which, though published 50 yours ago, con- tains much advice that is as sensible now “l“lnttcry," says the nu- thor, whose scx is not. rcvcalcd by the titlo pogo and is not. cosy to gucss from in- ternal cvidcncv, "is a powerful wczlpOn in the urt of making love. Never liwd thcrc yet man or wmnun but that: in some way or other could be. iluitcrcd. The grout point is to know in what. way to us;~ it. A young lady will feel fluttered if you not :i chant-c. young; mun, to tcll hcr moihcr about the good quzilitics of hcr daughtvr. Never fez; but ill“ daughicr will hear of it.” The umhor dwclls zit somclongih on the subtle 5 tin: sci-y conveyed in applying what. is ordi- hurily tcrmcd a “pet name” to the object. of one’s affection and repeats with cm- phasis the admonition that “faint heart never won fair lzuly. " Then tho author fits the shoe tothoothcr foot. “Thurs is no impropriety,” he or she says, “in a lady’s taking any 1'('t£.‘01lalllu measures to induce her bean to make his progmsal when he is either backward. slow or bashful.” The advice of old Weller to “lievarcof vidders” is indorsed in only a nlf lwurtcd way. “In making love to a. widow,” our author says, “you have nothing to do but to unswcr her questions and to return licr C(ll‘l'SSCS. In milking love to a widow, then, you must first be sure that you want: her for a wife, as it will not bl: safe to trust yourself within the pain of her influence if you expect cvvr to got. off hcurt- whole. " She will certainly catch you in her toils, if she pleases. She, of coursc, docs not give you much chance to exhibit those romantic proofs of attach- mcut which young girls delight in, but will discuss the marriage ceremony and plans for the future with tho same cool- ncss and (ll-liberation as if she were sclcct- ing hcr furniture and houschold goods. Considering all her peculiarities, the court- ship of a widow is a more formal muttcr of business. Any man with sufiicicut ncrvc to use his own judgment in the pur- chase of a horse may court in widow with- out trouble and without advice. Twenty ways of popping the question arcudvunccd, and the author concludes the. advice for wooers and the wooed with the following axiom: “As a general rule a gentleman need never be refused. Every Woman, except a hcurtlcss coqucttc. can cusily discourage it man that she does not intend to marry before matters come to the point of declaration. It is very true thnt some men are woefully blinded in this thing of lovemaking and do not get their eyes open until they are ‘kiclzcd.’ ”â€"8an Francisco Argonn ut. PARlS’ OTV'INIBUSES. A System That Gives Every Passenger a Comfortable Scat. On all the streets of Paris one of the features most noticeablc to a forcigncr pcrhups is the little omnibus stations so characteristic of Paris. The Parisian omnibus system, by the way, is an exec}- lent one when you understand it. But you usually have to be put off a. bus two or three times before you appreciate its merits. In time you discover that the vehicles stop regularly at little stations, where those who understand the system obtain bits of pasteboard bearing nllllllJClS in the precise order of the application for them, entitling them in the same order to the vacant seats in the buses as they nr~ rive. These little stations being not far apart, it is a matter of no difficulty to ob- tain these numbers, and when that is done the system secures, as you see, a perfect application of.the rule“first come, first served.” For when the bus stops, just opposite the little station, an official comes out, and standing behind it he calls all the numbers in their order, and the would '00 passengers, as their numbers are called, take the vacant places. When all the vu~ canclcs are filled, the bus drives on, and those whose numbers come next in order have, of course, the first chance at the va- cancies on the filling bus. And now let me mention another fea- ture of this omnibus system which I think is worthy of our notice. Each omnibus and each street car in Parisâ€"for the street our system is practically the sameâ€"is built to seatâ€"not to carry, mind you, but to seatâ€"a. certain number of persons. That. number is indicated upon the exterior of the vehicle, and when it is complete no more are permitted to enter under any cir- cumstances. Our glorious American sys- tcm, therefore, of riding on a. strap or of getting one foot on the back platform of the street car and clinging to the unfor~ tnnate individual who has preceded us and has both feet on is wholly unknown in Parisâ€"Chautauqua. The Will. We all know that the older the seed the worse the crop, and the fresher from the band of God the little mind the deeper we can stamp on it ideas of purity and truth. In doing this we must remember that the Spirit glveth life. “I have to work like a. slave,” said a good woman, weary with her worries, but the answer came from a more waywise comrade, “Oh, but, my dear, you can work like a. queen.”â€"â€"Miss Frances Willard. ...â€".â€"-...-..â€"p_ “a... Charity Coaxen. Bad dinners, balls and bazaars are, said Lord Salisbury, in a tone of regret, at a meeting in support of the east London church fund, the means by which sub- scriptions to hospitals or great works of benevolence are coaxed out of the average man. There must be something wrong in the feeling of the laity, he thought, which made these devices necessary. l - Q WOMAN’S SOLILOQUY IN 1950. I know my husband really tries A piczzsunt home to make.

There is one thing in the World worse than thc light furnished by the New York clcvntcd railroad light, and this is the light in European trains. The lack of spccd in the continental, and cspcciully tho German locomotives, is. due, first, to the inferior mnkc, and, sec- ond, to the fact. that the engines are 115ml until uscd up. The American idcu of go;- ting the best and highest out of the loco motives, and then setting them aside for ncw oncs containing the lutcst devious, is wustcfulncss in the eyes of the thrifty Gur- mans.
