ft. IV. SIMPSOX.
SriiiDE seems to bs contagious
by example. Last winter Miss
Winner of Keene, and Miss Walker
of Springfield Vermont, committed
suicide. A few days aiio Miss Pc.la
Walker of Bellows Falls, Vermont,
.1 friend of the young ladies men
tioned, followed their example and
took her own life. She is described
as being a beautiiul and accom- "yiNN &
plisiied young lady only 19 years of 0tHce. Fine
The struggle among humanity is
to see which will reach the top and
rertain there. In the invention
and use of war implements this is
exemplified perhaps better than in
any ot ier avocation. No sooner i?
an elective destroyer ma le than
its action is guudod against by
some equally as effective devisp.
An example of this counter work is
found in a remarkable torpedo
boat that has just oeen introduced
into the French navy. It is much
smaller than the ordinary torpedo
boat, and very light. The torpedc
is carried outside, attached to the
hull of the boat, but disengageable
at the will of the captain. On the
bow is a pair of curved scissors
about three meters in length, their
use being to enable the boat to cut
her way through nets or the eon
n jction wires of submarine minesi
It is proposed to use electricity a

and the belief ill be strong that
if sir.' had made the shots fatal,

The schoolboys in Eugene City
have a summary way of disposing
of legal questions relating to the
ohool house property. Some one
had claimed a portion of the school
house lot, and during the vacation
had fenced it in. On the school
assembly the boys disposed of that
fence in short order. Its a pity
that they c.onld not as easily anni
hilate the litigation over the title
to the lot, but the attorneys have
possession of that business. The
school district better set the boys
-tfter the attorneys.
Even the srenius train t is re
deeming himself. One of that
gentry recently ran three miles to
inform a telegraph operator that a
broken rail endangered a passenger
train, and when the imperfectly
working wires would not allow the
operator to warn the train in Fea
wn, helped to pump a handcar
back t the broken rail in time to
flag and save the train. The time
was so limited that the cowcatcher
was extending over the broken
rail when the tram was stopped.
The tramp dropped don with ex
haustion and during the excite
ment disappeared altogether, so he
scaped the thanks and testimon
ials. Faith in humanity must
increase over this incident and the
cause of the tramp raise in the
estimat:o:i of the public.
