Distinguishing Twins.
The benevolent old gentleman stopped
at the sight of the two similarlooking
Infants in the baby carriage,
and said in a pleasant voice to the girl
in attendance.
"Ah! Twins?"
"Yes, sir," replied the girl: "both
boys."
"So?" said the old gentleman. "How
do you tell them apart? Which is
which?"
"This one,*' said the nurse, pointing, I

"Dear me." said the old gentleman,
"how very interesting. Iiut." he added,
indicating the second one, "might
not this one be this also?"
"It might," said the girl, after a
short pause; "then, of course, that one
would be that."
"Well, then." said the old gentleman,
"how do you manage to separate
them?"
"We seldom do, but when we want
to we put one in one room and the
other in another."
"Do you indeed? Which one do you
put in one room?"
"Sometimes this one and sometimes
that."
"How do you know which one you're
putting in which room?"
"We look and see which is in the
other room, and then we know the other
is in the which room."
"Very good." said the old gentleman,
warming up to the problem, "but if
one of them was !n the house and the
other was away somewhere, would you
be able to tell which was In the
house?"
"Oh. yes, sir," said the girl earnestly;
"all we would have to do would be
to look at him and then we would know
that the one we saw was the one in
the house and then, of course, the one
away somewhere would be the other.
There are only two of them, you see.
which makes it very easy."
The benevolent gentleman then
passed on.
Pook Sandy!?The young Scotchman
never liked his mother-in-law
and this weighed heavily on the mind
of his wife, who was ill.
Calling her husband to her bedside
she said to him, "Sandy, lad, I'm varra
ill and I think I'm gang to dee, and
hoforp I dee I want you to gie me a
promise."
"I'll promise." said Sandy. "What
is it?'
"Weel, I ken that when I dee I'll
have a fine funeral, and I want you
to ride up in front in a carriage wi*
my mother."
"Weel," sadly responded Sandy, "I've
sried ye my word, an' it's nae me that's
Rang back on that; but I'll tell ye one
thing, ye've spoilt the day for me."?
Success.
A Deadly Offence.?"Well, sir,"
remarked the somewhat garrulous
landlord of the Puxico tavern, "Throgmorton,
the constable, arrested a feller
day before yesterday for walking
down Main street here in the middle
of the afternoon in his stockln' feet.
He's in jail now, and"?
"But great Scott!" ejaculated the
washing machine agent, "it is not a
crime, is it, for a person to walk in
his stocking feet? Why, my dear sir,
personal liberty"?
An- norsnnni lihertv is proper
enough as long as it don't interfere
with the rights of other people. Anything
that tends to add to the silence

against the general weal. We're
public spirited here, even if we ain't
exactly metropolitan."?Puck.
San key's Story.?A story which
Ira D. Sankey, the evangelist singer
used to tell on himself has been recently
revived. One day in Geneva
he entered a music box shop and asked
to see some music boxes. The
salesman graciously showed him a
number, but none was what he wanted.
"Have you none that play sacred
music?" he asked.
"Why," answered the salesman, "we
have some that play a kind of halfway
sacred music."
"What?" inquired Mr. Sankey.
*-- 3
"Oft, lft6S6 AlOOQy <mu oaimc ^
hymns! I can't imagine what the people
see in them, but we sell thousands
of the boxes that play them. We have
enormous orders for these boxes,"
continued the salesman, "from every
part of Europe." And then he added,
apologetically, "it's a matter of business,
you know, with us."
authors ok Today and Yesterday.
?James Whitcomb Riley is evidently
no believer in the greatness or enduring
quality of modern literature. Some
time ago a friend was talking to him
about the good times that novelists
of today have compared with those of
the past.
"You modern writers don't work so
hard." he said, "and you are paid
twenty times as much as you ought
to be."
Mr. Riley gently shook his head.
"You labor under a misapprehension,
my boy," he replied. "The chief difference
between the old authors and
those of today is simply this: They
died and their works live: our works
die and we live?as best we can."?

NO PLACE FOR TRAMPS.
How Switzerland Handles Her Unemployed
and Reforms Them.
In Switzerland there is a strong feeling
that any man who is out of work
must be helped to find work, and this
not so much for his own sake as for
the sake of the whole community?to
guard against his being a cause of expense
to it instead <?f being a source of
income.
There is, nowever, an equmi.> auung
feeling that when the work Is found
the man must, if necessary for his
own sake as well as the sake of the
community, be made to do it; to do it
well, too.
Practically everywhere in Switzerland.
says the Nineteenth Century,
while it is held to be the duty of the
authorities to stand by the genuine
work seeker and help him. it is held to
be their duty also to mete out punishment
to the work shirker and force
him to earn his daily bread before he
eats it.
No toleration is shown to the loafer,
for he Is regarded as one who
wishes to prey on his fellows and take
money out of the common purse while
putting none into it. On the other
hand, what can be done is done, and
gladly, to guard decent men from all
danger of becoming loafers through
mischance or misfortune.
In this country a man may deliberately
throw up one job and without
ever making any effort to find another.
remain for months in the ranks of
the unemployed, steadily deteriorating
all the time into an unemployable.
Meanwhile no one has the right to say
him yea or nay unless he applies for
poor relief.
In Switzerland, however, it is otherwise.
There is no resorting to workhouses
as to hotels there; no wandering
around the countryside extorting
alms while pretending to look for work
For begging is a crime and so is vagrancy;
and in some cantons the police
receive a special fee for every beggar
or vagrant they arrest.
If a man is out of work there he
must try to find work, for if he does
not, the authorities of the district
where he has a settlement will find it
for him, and of a kind per laps not at
all to his taste?tiring and badly paid.
He cannot refuse to do it, for if he
does he may be packed off straight to
a penal workhouse, an institution
where military discipline prevails and
Inmato 1c mn flp to WOl'k
? IlCiC hih.wvv .w
to the full extent of his strength, receiving
in return board and lodging,
with wages of from a penny to threepence
a day.
When once he is there, there he
must stay until the authorities decree
that he shall depart; for as a penal
workhouse is practically a prison, he
cannot take his own discharge, and
the police are always on the alert to
prevent his running away. No matter
how long his sojourn lasts, however,
it does not cost the community a single
penny for in Switzerland these penal
institutions are self-supporting.
Some of them, indeed, are said to be
a regular source of income to the cantons
to which they belong.
There is no classing of the unemployed
by casualty or misfortune with
the unemployed by laziness or misconduct
there; no meting out to them of
the same measure. On the contrary,
considerable trouble is taken to distinguish
between the two classes, so
that each may be dealt with according
to its merits. The man who is
cut ot wont mrougn nis own muu mm
because lie does not wish to be In work
Is treated as a criminal and sent as a
prisoner to a penal institution: while
the man who is out of work in spite
of his earnest endeavor to be in work
is helped without being subjected to
humiliation.
It is much more easy there, however,
than it is here, it must be admitted,
to distinguish between employed
and unemployed, as there every workingman
has his papers, i. e.. documents
which are given to him by the authorities
of the district where he has his
settlement and which contain full information
as to where and by whom
he has been employed in the course
of his life.
Then relief In kind stations, i. e.,
casual wards organized on philanthropic
lines, are now maintained in every
part of industrial Switzerland for the
exclusive use of the respectable unemployed,
and drunkards, criminals
and loafers are never allowed to cross
the threshold of these places. No one
is admitted to a Swiss relief in kind
stations unless his papers show that
he has been in regular work within the
previous three months and out of
work at least five days; unless they
show also that neither the police nor
his own district authorities have, any
reason for looking on him askance. He
who is admitted, however, is made
welcome and is treated with consideration
as a respectable man whom misfortune
has befallen.
Let men but relax their efforts and
show signs of a willingness to remain
without work and they are at once
thrown on their own resources. The
police, who are in close co-operation
with the station officials, always keep
a sharp watch on the unemployed, especially
on such as are sojourning in
these refuges, and if they find them
refusing work when it is offered under
reasonable conditions or accepting it
and losing through carelessness, laziness
of any other fault of their own,
or lounging by the wayside or in public
houses instead of betaking themselves
where they have been told
there is a chance of a job, the fact
is reported, with the result that there
weeks since September 1, says the Peoria
correspondence of the Minneapolis
Journal. The figures have been
compiled from actual shipments. They
represent the entire production of the
Illinois river from Henry to Grafton,
and include the shipments from every
recognized fish market along the
banks. Carp and buffalo weighing
from three to twenty-five pounds
make up this enormous amount, with
the carp constituting fully two-thirds
of the shipments.
ORDEAL OF DYING.
A Point Is Reached Where There Is
No Pain.
The case of Dr. W. T. Bull, tne ?ew
York physician. In his heroic fight
against cancer and death has attracted
the attention of the whole world.
Nevertheless the scientific critic now
comes along and tells us that in a fatal
malady, after a certain phase has
been reached and passed, no real heroism
can be attributed to a doomed
person. For, according to the London
Lancet, the majority of persons who
die In their beds cease to feel pain
once the disease from which they suffer
has traveled to a limit of which the
subsequent stage is death. Owing to
the comatose state of a mind, the desire
to live and the will to do so have
deserted them.
There is, it is declared, very little
difference between dying?even from
what is known as an agonizing death
?and being sent to sleep by an anaesthetic
before an operation. It is
solely because of this liberation or tne
spirit that the weak of will and the
ultra-psychical in temperament abandon
themselves to the use of drugs
like opium and morphine, since the
isolation of the mind is sought for.
Accordingly heroism in dying is not
admitted by those medical men who
have made a study of what is known
as the physiology of death. Even when
the moribund is said to be fully conI
sclous and to be preparing his last
testament, "despite his great sufferings."
as the saying Is, the truth is
that his fleshly Ills have censed to trouble
his mind, a phenomenon common
enough even in such minor kinds of
suffering as earache or toothache.
The same authorities declare that
death by shooting through the brain
is the least painful of all deaths, since
the passage of a bullet through the
brain is far swifter than the action of
nerve currents. The centre of feeling
in the brain has been destroyed before
the pain has had time to register its
existence. Again, death that occurs
by a fall from a great height is also
unfelt by the victim. The respiratory
organs cease to work as soon as the
fall begins and the action of the heart
is stopped almost at once.
The dramatic deathbed, says the
trained pnysicmn, is mc uuitumc v>?
the literaiy man's imaginings. The
average person "on the die," as Artemus
Ward has it, knows nothing at all
about his circumstances; nor is it certain
that the very great know any
more. Napoleon's last words showed
that his mind was wandering. Goethe
asked for "more light." although the
sun was streaming through the windows.
On the other hand. Henry VIII.
of England is said to have asked for
"Kate." the divorced Arragonese;
Charles II. asked for Harry of Monmouth.
and apologized for not dying
on schedule time. When Louis XIV.
was busy dying, his successor. Louis
XV., then a tot of three or four years
was seated on a footstool near the bed,
~vt...<?lih n /loll "Anrl what is
??? " - ?
vour name, little Prince?" inquired a
fatherly courtier of the youngster.
"'Ouis Qinze" (meaning Louis Quinze),
replied the little heir apparent. "Pas
encore, mon enfant, pas encore." cried
the dying king ("not yet. my child,
not yet").
HIGHER EDUCATION.
Facilities In This Country Now Good
As Anywhere.
Xo American need any longer go to
any foreign country for a higher education,
according to William H.
Hurd of New York, who has just returned
from Europe, making a special
study of the foreign universities.
"In my judgment, the United States
offers today facilities for collegiate,
academical and post-graduate studies
equal in quantity and quality to those
offered by any country in the Old
World," said Doctor Hurd to a Washington
Herald reporter. "American
educational institutions are the best
equipped in the world. There is a
steady progress all along the line of
public instruction in the United States
and particularly in our universities.
"The regular reports of German
universities will continue to show the
attendance of American students.
Though their number may not increase
materially, still they go. And
it is well that they should, particularly
those that have in view special
studies and investigation in certain
lines, for Germany is pre-eminently
the land of specialists.
"It cannot be denied that German
devotion to special work has added
immensely to the sum of knowledge.
Besides, a year or two spent abroad
cannot but prove to be a great blessing
to the average American student,
not because he needs it to prepare him
for his life's work, but because the
travel and sojourn in this and other
countries are in themselves a liberal
education and tend to broaden the
mind, widen the horizon, remove the.
petty prejudices and supply an indenendent
ludement of men and mat-1
ters.
"A few semesters at a German university.
bringing a young man in
touch with the ideas and methods of
the great scholars and scientists of
that country, as well as with the spirit
of the German student's life, is an
advantage generally appreciated all
through life."

about a mile away and threw himself
from that point into the ravine below.
Searchers found the shattered remains
of Fletcher scattered about in
the boughs of the willows that grew
near the head of the ravine. He had
landed in a soft spot, but the concussion
had been great enough to set off
the second charge of dynamite.
The miners buried what they could

was good natured and wanted to

and the more dynamite he
consumed the more troublesome he
became.
This finally aroused Fletcher's
wrath to such a pitch that he challenged
Robblns to a fistic duel. Robbins
was staggering slightly and
Fletcher finally shot a left hook into
the man's ribs. Instantly there was
a terrific explosion. The body of
Robblns shot through the ceiling as
though it had turned into dynamite
bomb. The concussion induced by
Fletcher's blow had caused Robblns
to explode.
The tragedy Instantly sobered
Fletcher, and he called at a neighbor's
cabin, where he told the story
and borrowed a lantern, saying he
intended to go that night to the nearest
peace officer and give himself up
for the crime of manslaughter. He
was deeply depressed, and this feeling

A TRAGEDY OF THE DESERT.
One of the Weird Yarns From the
West.
The most extraordinary tragedy
ever enacted on the desert took place
at Jake Fletcher's cabin on the banks
of the Amargosa, near Death Valley,
on Christmas Day. The news has just
reached civilization, according to a
San Bernardino, Cal., letter.
Fletcher had been doing well on his
claim until recently, when the vein
ran out. This left him without money
to buy whisky. Thomas Robbins,
a bosom friend, who was spending the
day at Fletcher's, proposed that they
try a dynamite jag. He said he had
read of Mexican miners getting drunk
by eating dynamite when liquor had
failed.
Fletcher was incredulous, but expressed
his willingness to make the
experiment. Between them they consumed
three sticks of dynamite dur
The master of the ship reported passing

foremast were still standing, and the
wreck was "dangerous to navigation."
In the course of a few hours the message
was thrown to the four winds
from several of the twenty-three government
wireless telegraph stations
scattered along the Atlantic and gulf
coasts for the information of all vessels
equipped with wireless receiving
apparatus.
Three times a day at enight-hour in
tervals, the hours being 6 a. m, 2 p.
m. and 10 p. m., wireless messages regarding
obstructions to navigation are
sent broadcast. A vessel at other

In the course of a few days the Seneca,
a vessel built especially for putting
these lingering victims of the
wrath of Father Neptune out of existence,
will go Into commission. This
vessel Is the first built for such a purpose
in the world. In general appearance
she will resemble the ocean-going
revenue cutters of the- United States,
but will have two funnels to distinguish
her from the cutters. She will
be provided with torpedoes and guns
for firing explosive shells, and powerful
towing apparatus for towing any
wanderer, not too far gone, into a haven
of safety.
The government has also found a
use for wireless telegraphy in the protection
of commerce worn derelicts
and icebergs. A few days ago the
Hydrographle office in Broad street
received a wireless message from the
steamship Caracas, which had sailed
a couple of days before for Porto Rico.
GUARDIAN OF COMMERCE.
New Government Vessels Built For
Destroying Dangerous Derelicts.
No country in the world does so
much to protect ocean borne commerce
from loss by collision with derelicts
as does the United States, says
the New York Tribune. For many
years It has published a monthly chart
of the North Atlantic which includes
anions numerous items of useful information
for mariners the locations
of all derelicts according to the latest
renorts. For many years it was the
custom to give naval vessels and their,
officers and crews an opportunity to
see active service by pursuing the elu- J
sive derelict with the object of destroying
it. The famous dynamite destroyer
Vesuvius was among those
that used to get a little gun practice
with a derelict as the target. For two
years the revenue cutter Mohawk has
been doing duty as a derelict destroyer,
with such success that the November
hydrographic chart shows no dere-,1
lict reported more than once, or earlier
than September 30. On the old charts
it was not unusual to find several reports
of the same derelict ranging
over a period sometimes of more than
