While tho constitution prohib its government ofltcers from accepting order from foreign governments, the president baa tho power to award In slgnla, which mean considerably more than most of the stars, garters, etc., of the old world. These aro medala for bravery. Itosldcs the medals for conspicuous bravery In battle and the decorations for life saving on tho water, tho chief executive can honor men and women who dlxplny heroism on the railroad lines of the country. Award of the decoratlona la mado by the chief executive on recommendation from tho Interstate commerce commis sion. Application must be accompa nied by alltilitvlts from eyewitnesses of tho heroic deeds, and they must be approved by a committee of five of the commissioners. A bronxe medal and a button of gold and enamel are the Insignia given. The meilul Is about as big as a silver dollar. On one side, the obverse, there la a figure of a man upon a railway track, with one kneo upon a rock which blocks an approaching train. Ho Is warning the trainmen by means of a brand. On the reverso side is a laurel wreath, symbolical of heroism. The In scription, "Tho United Statea Modal For Life Saving on Railroads," appears near the medal's rim, and within the wreath Is tho following: "For Bravery. Awarded to ." Japanese Compositors. Japaneso "typos" havo their troubles K. Suglmura, lltorary editor of tho Tokyo Asahl Shlmbun, says that ho especially ndralrea the Hnotypo type setting machines. "Unfortunately wo are unable to use them In Japan, for our language has forty-sevon letters, os well as over 3.000 Chinese characters, and auch a number of typoa Is, of course, boyond the capabllltloa of any machine yet Inveuted. In tho printing office of our newspaper in Tokyo the compositor must often walk the whole length of tbo room to fetch one char acter, Instead of standing In one place before a single case, as tho English or American compositor can do."

An extraordinary experience with a ttedliim I given In the Carl Bchuns memoir In McClure's. After receiving what purported to bo a message from Schiller, General Bcburz asked that the spirit of Lincoln bo summoned to tell why President Johnson had called Scbura to Wash ington. "The answer cauo, 'Ho wants you to make an Imporlaut Journey for blui.' 1 askud whoro that Journey would tako me. Answer, 'lie will tell you tomor row, I asked further whether I should undertake that Journey. An swer, 'Yes; do not fall.' (1 may add, by the woy, that at that time I bad not the slightest anticipation , as to what President Johnson' Intention with re gard to m was.) "Having dlsposod of this matter, I asked whether the spirit of Lincoln had anything more to say to me. The answer como, 'Yes; you will bo a sena tor of tb United Statea.' Tbl struck mo as o fanciful that I could hardly suppress laugh, but I asked further, 'From what suite? Answer, 'from Missouri.' Tbl was more provoktngly mysterious stilt, but there the conver sation ceased. "Hardly anything could have been more Improbable at that time than that I should be a senator of tho United State from the state of Missouri My domicile was in Wisconsin, and I wus then thinking of returning there. I had never thought of removing from Wlacoualn to Missouri, and there wa not the slightest prospect of my ever doing o. "But, to forestall my narrative, two year later 1 wa surprised by an en tirely unsought and unexpected busi ness proposition which took mo to fit Louis, and In January, lfW'J, the legis lature of Missouri elected me a aeoa tor of the United States. 1 then re membered the prophecy mado to me at the spirit seauce In' the bouse of my friend Tiedemann tn rhlladelphla." . CLEVER FISHERMEN. Odd Methods of the Indians on th Ssult 8te. Marie. On the Sault Ste. Marie the Indians have a novel method of catching white fish. Two Indian go with a canoe Into the rapid. One occupies the bow and one the stern. The latter uses a pad dle to keep the boat' bead upstream. Th former baa a pole wttb which to iteady the boat, standing upright In his place. Tbey take wttb tbem a dlpnet four feet In diameter attached to a pole or handle fifteen feet long. This la placed ready to the band of tho Indian In the bow. The fishing I done at the foot of the rapids, where the water bolls and tumbles furiously. With his polo the Indian In the boxt hold tho canoe or let it float ateadlly sldewlao, now up a Uttlo perhaps and then down, but always under perfect control. The ludlan gazes constantly Into the water, which Is often ten feet doep where they are fishing and the depths of which no white man was ever yet able to school bis eyo to pene trate. Suddenly be seizes the net by the handle with one hand, atlll manipulat ing the boat with the other, and plunges the net Into tho water, perhaps ten feet away, thrusting It to the bottom. Then he give It a peculiar twist, draws It op and turna out Into the boat often as many as half a dozen whlteflah weighing from three to five pounds. These Indian fishermen are unerring In casting their nets, and It la not an uncommon thing for tbem to capture 300 whlteflah in a day. How tbey are able to see the fish In the bottom of the rapids' la a mystery no one baa yet been able to fathom. Pearson's Week ly. As Good as S Portsr. It Is curious how many people are in Ignorance of simple little facts in con nection with everyday life which' would save them a large amount of unnecessary labor and fatigue. Take the caae of carrying a heavy bag or portmanteau, for Instance. We all know the annoying way in which it knocks against our lega and tbe almost Intolerable ncbe In the arm tbat Is sup porting the burden. Few people are aware, however, tbat by folding a cou ple of newspapers and putting them under one's armpit a large amount of the strain and Inconvenience Is Imme diately removed. Try It next time you are hurrying to catch a train. Pear eon's Weekly. , Th Hat He Had. "Mamma, If I had a hat before I had this one, if all right to say that's tbe bat I had bad, Isn't it?"

Mr. Wilcox bad boundless faith In tbe wisdom and general effectiveness of ber husband' advice, and conse quently be bad primed ber with In structions for any emergency tbat might arise when be was absent Among other things, bo bad repeatedly warned ber In case of Ore to spread a rug on tbe blaze and then telephone for tbe engines, So deeply wa this advice impressed on ber subconsciousness that ber ac tion tbe day of the Ore in ber borne were purely automatic.

At tbe doorway she collided with ber maid. En telle, who, bearing the rapid movements In the room, was coming to learn the cause.
