Through Ono Administration.
The Inventor of the telephone Is (lend,

well to keep under cover If ho values
his life.
A Quebec man thinks he hns found

Young Vauderbllt settled $4,000,000
on his bride. By working tho bargain
counter ads, the latter will doubtless
be able to keep tip In pin money with
out borrowing frequently of her hus
band. A Texan man Is Indignant because
Ids lliiucco deserted him on tho ovo of
their appointed wedding day nnd mnr
rled another. Homo men require tlmo
to realize tho narrowness of their es
capes. 15. Ii. fioilMn, ono of tho most emi
nent Journalists of New York, says
that tho election of n notoriously Ig
norant, worthless or corrupt man to the
Judicial bench, the Legislature, or the
municipal council, makes more Im
pression on n young mind than can bo
counterbalanced by tho study of any
manual of government, or by any
course of lectin en on social reform de
livered In high school or college.
In pursuance of n gentlemanly polish
the upper class men at West Point nev
er slug each other. They pick out a
light-weight freshman nnd pit him
ngalust their most battle-scarred vet
eran. It Is supposed to bo tho quintes
sence of courtly conduct to hotter tho
poor freshman Into Insensibility, nnd
then nil him up with prunes nnd to
tinnco sauce as a consolation prize. Tho

bnuidjHit be tckcu (ur ycilov-uun
7T!Wentlon of a system of springs nnd
weights to run machinery without conl,
electricity or other inotlvo powtr will
bo welcomed with nlacrlty In nil pnrts
of the world, but especially In (Irent
Urltnln, where tho price of coal Is rap
Idly reaching tho prohibitive point. As
the now system Is confessedly liable to
lose power gradually by wear nnd tenr,
or altogether by breakage or the slight
est obstruction, It will bo unavnllnblo
for a largo category of purposes now
covered by conl, wood or electricity.
Hut It will be n vast utility for many
common objects.
It Is true now, as It has always been,
thnt there Is room to spare at tho top,
while the bottom Is miserably crowd
ed. This condition seems unavoidable,
tho logical evolution of our complex
social conditions, tho Inevltablo corol
lary of the steadily, Intensifying strug
gle for existence. The fact has been
the same from the beginning. It hap
pens, simply, that recent developments
have emphasized It. The higher social
organization has Its drawbacks as well
ns Its advantages mid among the most
conspicuous of these Is tho penalty It
Imposes upon mediocrity nnd tho bur
den with which It crushes helplessness.
The ndvautnges that fall to tho lot
of a man whosu surname occurs early
In an alphebatlcnl list nro well known.
Ah a candidate for otllco upon nu Aus
tralian ballot, for example, a man
named Abbott has n far better cliauco
than the most eminent .welgler. Hut
the benefit thnt comes from tho pos
session of n short name Iiiih not here
tofore been generally recognized. Not
long ago the promotion of one of tho
Auditors of tho Treasury Department
nt Washington created a vacancy to
which, upon n formal recommendation
to thnt effect, tho candidate having tho
tdinrtcst name, being also n competent
inaii. wns appointed. Ills chief duty Is
to nillx his signature to nccounts, and
si ho needs to make but six letters In
signing, he can do twice as much In u
day as a man whoso namo contains
twelve letters.
Thomas A. KUsou, Iwlng recently
usUetl If ho thought the twentieth cen
tury would surpass the nineteenth In
Invention and imrtlculurly In tho appll
viWUm of ekctrlclty, promptly replied
that It would, nnd then with character
Istle modesty ailiknl thnt In tho tlrst
place there were more to work, mul In
the bevond they know mora to start
with, "but nil the same, none of ua
knows anything about anything,"
which Is his way of saying that until
It Is detlultely settled what electricity Is
v e are only on tho threshold of achieve
ment. The opluloua of Mr, IMWon, who
Is n practical man nnd has turned his
numerous Inventions to commercial
uses, are In sharp contrast with those
of Mr. Tesla, a dreamer and an uupmc
Ileal man, who, having settled all elec
trical and Gcleutltlc affairs ou tul
sk
v I
earth, U now aottllug those of Mora
nlfro. With a few more Edlsona tho
world would booh know considerable
about most everything.
Longest and most illustrious In the
annals of (Jieat Hiltaln, Queen Vic
1 01 la's telgu is also the gieateut In
many i expects. Since her accession to
the throne In 1837 dlscoveiles, Inven
tions, wuis and tho piogiess of civili
zation have changed the whole curieut
and tenor of model u history. .Scaicely
a year of tho longest reign In English or
modern history but was marked with
some notable acquisition of territory,
some remarkable discovery or Inven
tion, or some epoch-making moral or In
tellectual advance and lmpiovemeut.
In tho matter of territory alone It Is BUf
tlclent merely to mention tho annexa
tion of Aden (1830), the Hindu (1843),
tho 1'unjnb (1840), the Oude (1850), thu
FIJI Islands (1874), Burma (1880) and
Ashnntl (1800). In addition by treaty
or purchase Hongkong was acquired In
1812, Pegu 1852, Sikh territory 1840,
Cyprus 1878, purt of Samoa 1800 and
the annexation of tho Transvaal and
Orango Free State In 1000 tho latter,
however, not yet nn nccompllsh'.'d fact.
Even this vast acquirement of terri
tory n almost every quatter of tho
globo does not fully represent the
growth of the Diltlsh empire during
Victoria's reign. Assuming the rule of
India In 1808 nnd accepting the title
of empress of India, It became neces
sary for Victoria to gunrd tho road to
her eastern empire, nnd In addition to
Gibraltar, Malta nnd Cyprus and tho
control of the Suez cannl England prac
tically extended Its rule over Egypt and
tho Sudan. As a result of this vigorous
world policy which under any other
sovereign but England's gracious
queen might sooner havo developed
Into the lust of conquest which embit
tered tho closing years of her life, there
havo been many wars, tho year 1880
being tho ilrst Interval of peace during
her long reign. Notwithstanding this
remarkable facl. so well beloved wns
Victoria nnd so well known her love of
peace thnt her lelgn, viewed In retro
spect, presents a sunny, smiling land
scape, unfortunately overshadowed by
disaster nnd war at Its close. In liter
ature, also, It has been Victoria's good
fortuno to give her name to nu era that
stands second only to the mighty Eliza
buiiian. Great poets, historians and
artists found Inspiration In the pence
loving queen nnd dedicated their no
blest works to her praise. In science,
also, n host of great names are en
rolled on the Victorian page, and In
statesmanship she saw the rise and
passing of Lord John Itusscll, the earl
of Derby, Lord Palmerston, Bright, Dis
raeli nnd Gladstone statesmen who, In
spired by Victoria, "held a fretful
realm In awe" nnd mndo tho bonds of
freedom wider yet. And through nil
tho brilliant nnd groat events of her
'olgn Victoria stood tlrst In English
i'"'JM

went. Of her It may lie wild In tho
words of her greatest Inurentc,
"She wrought her peoplo lusting good."

Many anecdotes of tho kindliness of
tho i:mpresH of Germany are Iludlng
their way Into the public prints. She
was riding with a couple of attendants
through tho vitiligo of llornlm, near
Potsdam, recently, nnd pnsned tho vll

went tho youngsters' faces nnd tho
schoolmaster opened n window wide.
Her majesty rodo up and asked tho
teacher what the subject of Instruc

of Queen I.oulso tho Good, tho Knlsorln
asked tho master to go ou with the les
son whllo sho listened, Sho wns, of
course, obeyed, nnd for over n qunrtor
of nn hour tier majesty remained nt the
window,
So plensed wns sho with tho Juve
niles' answers that alio told them sho
would treat them all to cako nnd choc
olate very soon, nud rode off amid the
cheers of tho youngsters. Tho follow
