MEDALS FOR BRAVERY.
Dsoorstloni That May B Bsstowad
by Unol 8sm.
Undo 8nm la not averse to bestow
lug decorations, says tho rhlladelphla
Press. 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

lines of the country.

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.

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."

The manager of the Insane asylum
frowned.
"What la that woman In cell 77 howl

Impatiently.
"She objects to her straltjacket, sir,"
tho keeper answered. r
"Wants It taken off, eh? Well she
can't"-

FORETOLD HIS FUTURE.
The Moisago Carl Schun Raoolvod
From Spirit Land.
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

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

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?"
"Certainly, Johnny." ,
''And If that bat once had a hole In
it and I bad It mended 1 could say it
had bad a bole In It couldn't I?"
"lea; there would be nothing Incor
rect In that"
"Then It would be good English to 1
say that the bat 1 bad bad had bad a ;
bote lu it wouldn't it?"

Mr. Wilcox, mindful of Jack's ad

At tbe doorway she collided with ber

A STORY OF NELSON.
Th Prettnoe of Mind of th Croat
tngliih Admiral.
Captain Malum relates tbe following
anecdote concerning Lord Nelson's let
ter proposing a truce to tbe crown
prince of Denmark, dispatched In the
midst of hostilities:
' Tbe decks being cleared of all parti
tion fore and aft and all ordinary con
venience removed. Nelson wrote In
full view of all on the deck where be
was, at tbe casing of tbe rudder bead,
standing, and as be wrote an officer
standing by took a copy. The original,
in bis own band, was put into an en
velope and sealed, with his arms. The,
officer waa about to use a wafer, but
Nelson aald:
"No; tend for sealing was and can
dle." Some delay followed owing to tbe
man' having had bis head taken off
by a ball. "Send another messenger
for tbe wax," said the admiral when
Informed of this, and when the wafers
wore again suggested he simply reiter
ated the order.
A large quantity of wax was used
and extreme care taken tbat tbe Im
pression of tbe seal should be perfect
Colonel Stewart asked:.
"Why under so hot a lire and after
so lamentable an accident bave you at
tached bo much Importance to a cir
cumstance apparently trifling?"
"Had 1 made use of a wafer," re
plied Nelson, "the wafer would have
been still wet when the letter was
presented to the crown prince. He
would bave Inferred that the letter
was sent off tn a hurry and that we
had some pressing reasons for being In
a hurry. Tbe wax told no tales."
Ho Didn't Lik Plodgss.
Judge Martin Grover of Troy, N. T
was at one time approached by a young
citizen who wished to be nominated to
the state assembly. The shrewd old
Judge had certain doubts about him,
which he expressed somewhat freely,
and yet he was willing to afford him a
trial. He therefore addressed tbe as
pirant In this way:
"Young man, If you will give me
your word that you won't steal when
you get to Albany I'll see what kin be
done about sendln' you there."
"Judge Grover," replied the young
man, drawing himself up with great
dignity, "I go to Albany unpledged or I
don't go at all."
