Superstition is not without its uses.
During the prevalence of the recent
drought in Italy the children of one of
the landed proprietors of the province
of Salerno had n dream in xvhieh the
Madonna appeared to them and said
that rain would fall us soon as an
image of herself buried in a certain
Held could be dug up. Muny peasants
actit g on the supernatural "tip" began
at once to dig for the imnge. After
several days' labor they unearthed two
incient tombs decorated with mural
paintings, and some valuable vases.
Near by them they uucovered an an
tique hoie.e, in one of the rooms of
xvhieh was a elunuy representation of
;i human figure. This the peasants de
clared to be the image designated in
the dream, und it bus been an object
of udorut ion to the thousands of visit
ing enthusiasts. An energetic priest
lias established uu altar there, and as
every pilgrim leaves some money when
he visits it there hits been a ruin of
fold If not of water.

the profit in a counterfeit cent istieees-1
sarily small, it. is true, however, nev-1
ertheless, and is supposed to be the
work of Italians, who, more largely!
than any other nationality, seem to :

fnvor the imitation of our
subsidiary coin. The JSrooklyn and
New Jersey ferry companies, the ele
vated railroads of both New York and
Urooklyn and the various slot-machine
companies are regular customers for
the exchange of cents for other money
at the sub-treasury. At times they
turn in enormous quantities, the slot
companies alone ranin? between one
hundred and twonty-fivo and seven
hundred dollars a day. As mirfht be
expected, all sorts of oddities in
the way of coin c tme in with the
quantity taken in the machines. In
addition to the counterfeits are scores
of "not one cents" of war times, metal
discs and foreign copper, Austrian
money predominating. As the copper
cent is simply a token, no matter what
its condition is, it is redeemed tit par
if it can in any way be identified os
Uuited States money The popularity
of the slot machine a year or so
ago brought about a curious condi
tion of aiJairs in the country. This
was nothing short of a "cent famine."
The headquarters of the company is in
New York, and all njeuts sent their
cents here for redemption, which
drained the country of its supply and
overstocked the minor coin vaults of
the subtreasury hero with cents,
NO SOFT-HEAR 1 Ej GOVcKNORS.
Chines. Pirates B.'ieudeil with Nratneii
anil lilspatoh.
Cnpt. John Windrow, an old sailor of
tlio Pacific, tells this to the Taooma
Ledger: "While I was in Shanghai
along in 18M or 'fi!), the ruler of the
city equipped two st.enm gunboats for
the suppression of the piratical trafiic.
One of these he put in command of an
American. The boats hud been out on
a cruise for several days, and early one
afternoon they returned towing thir
teen piratical junks which hud been
captured. 1 went aboard to see the
prisoners the boats had brought in.
An iron rail led around the gunwale
of each of the boats, to which were
shackled two hundred of the most villainous-looking
Chinese I hud ever
seen. Justice to such fiendish wretches
was swift in China in those days, and
the next morning they were led out for
execution. In spite of the horror of
t.li is wholesale beheading the execu
tion had n streak of the comi in it. j
Two Chinese assistants of tlujexecu-i
tioner curried a large bamboo pole.
The condemned Chinese were in it kneel-1
ing posture and the assistants would j
clutch a Chinaman's queue and take a j
half-hitch around the bamboo pole, j
men, eacn putting me poie on nis
shoulder, they both would suddenly
rise up, stretching his neck away from
the prisoner's shoulders. The execu
tioner stood ready with a drawn sword
an. lopped oil their heads with as
much Indifference as a farmer would
have about cutting cornstalks. Little
buskuts were ready, into which a head
was placed, and in this manner the
beads were hung on the walls outside
the city gates."
A 2.UI-.E RAILWAY SYSTEM.
HaMulti In Trlptliut the TaMenir.r Uusl
liest In lliintr iry.
A remarkable revolution in railway
traveling was brought about in Hun
gary some years ago by the introduc
tion of chenp fures nnd the Bone sys
tem, says the London News. The fares
were lowered from about 40 to 80 per
cent., and the country divided into
zones, having ISiidu-l'estli as their cen
ter. The lirst zone Is lifteen miles
broad, the second to the twelfth are
each nine miles, the twelfth and thir
teenth lifteen miles, ami the fourteenth
include; nil the rest of the country.
The fare for each .oiua is U)d. llrst
chiss, 8d. second and &T third; while
the rates nre reduced one-half for
parties of workmen.
What the new system has accom
plished is shown by a report just issued
by the Hungarian government, dealing
with the working of the state railways
for the years lS'.H and ISM. From
(1,000,000 passengers carried in INKS, the
year previous to the introduction of
the zone system, the number hus risen
to over JS.MO.OOO, tin increase of 210

ANTIQUITY OF SHORTHAND.
It tTat In Cse Before th. Bef UUklnt; ol
the Cbrittlaa Kn,
Cioero Is said to have been the In
ventor of shorthand writing, and the
freedman, Marcus Tullius Tiro, his
friend, the first stenographer, and he
undoubtedly did use a method of short
hand writing as early as 60 H. C. The
first English treatise was by Timothe
ltnght, entitled, "An Arte of Shorte
.Swifte and Secrete Writing by Charac
ture, Inuented by Timothe Bright,
Doctor of I'hisike, Imprinted at Lon-
lion uy i. uiuek, iuu iwwkjiw ui Aim
ltnght, 1588. Cum priuilegie Regiae
Waiestatis. Forbidding all others to
print the same." Dr. Hright in this
work 6ays: "Cicero did account it
worthie his labour, and no less profita
ble to the Roman common weale (Most
Gracious Soueraigne) to inuent a
speedie kinde of wryting by character,
as Plutarch reporteth in the life of Cato
the younger. This inuention was in
creased afterward by Seneca that the
number of characters grue to 7,000.
Whether through inure of time, or that
the men gaue it over for tediousness of
learning, nothing remaineth extant of
Cicero's inuention at this day."
The stenographer who recalls the
efforts required to properly master the
few characters used in the art to-day
will wonder that of Cicero's system,
with its 7,000 characters, nothing re
mains at this day. It was not until
104a, according to the New York World,
that the art became of any practical
use, and it was first used in the house
of lords in KiUO in taking testimony in
a divorce suit. Stenographers were
not regularly employed in parliament,
however, until ISO'J.
In many of the public schools of tho
country stenography is a part of the
training. An evidence of its recent re
markable growth is shown by a circu
lar issued by the bureau of education
issued at Washington. Here it is
shown that from Julv 1. 1889. to June
30, 1SU0, 57,375 persons received instruc
tion in the art of shorthand in schools
and colleges in the United States. Five
thousand five hundred and fifty of
these were in New York and Brooklyn.
A like circular was issued by the bu
reau in 1SS4, in which it was shown
that during the year 1883 the number
of pupils receiving instruction was 12,
470. It is therefore quite safe to say
that the number for 1893 exceeded 75,
000. But this number does not take
into consideration an army probably
equally large who receive instruction
from some other source or from pro
fessional stenographers. Out of this
vast army, however, but a very small
minority are either physically or men
tally qualified to become court report
ers or even otlice amanuenses.
SHORT BUT QUEER RAILROAD.
A Line In r.llfurnlu where the Grade Is
Six Feet In Hundred.
California has a railroad so unique
that the most expert "railroadman" in
the world would be unable to name it
should he accidentally happen upon it
at a time when the cars aud engine
were not in sight. The word "engine"
is used advisedlv. for. according to the
St. Louis Republic, there is no danger
of encountering more than one piece
of machinery of that class upon this
extraordinary "thoroughfare," and
should you come in contact xvith the
entire force of men with which the
road is equipped you could count the en
tire "gang" on the fingers of one hand.
This west coast curiosity lies in, or
rather runs up and doxvn, a portion of
t-an Benito county, extending from
Hurt's lime kiln to Tres Pines, in what
is knoxvn as the tiavilan ramge. The
road is of the "bicycle" or siugle track
variety, the engines and cars sitting
very low upon the rail. The rail is of
the slot pattern, not unlike that seen
on cable railways, the wheels of both
the engine and the cars having a
tongue of steel which works in the
groove. In addition to this each wheel
has a flange on both sides, and, the
whole track being of but one rail, the
wheels are, in reality, tongued rollers
wit h flangelilie projections on each end.
Kvery w heel in the whole outfit belong
ing to this curious railroad is thus pro
vided with four bearings, whieh pre
vent it from jumping the track on any
of the numerous short curves. At
last accounts there were but nin
miles of road operated by this "sj S'
tern." When completed it will be four-
teen miles irom one terminal station
to the other. In one place there is an
eight hundred-foot grade, mounted at!
the rate of six feet to the one hundred, I
and on another section of the road
there is a grade between a quarter and
a half mile in lengtn in wnicn tne
average ascent is fonr feet to each one
hundred feet of tracK.

That breaking of existing relations is like
wise merely a question of years. About
eight million square miles of land and
lakes Bnd arms of the sea are slowly
slipping from under the paxvs of the
British lion. India, too, xvill go some
day, but that loss xvill probably come
much farther in the future. Whatever
great changes there may be in the
next foxv decades are pretty sure, at
any rate, to cut doxvn the size of the
world's most prodigious empire, past
and present.
HIS FACE WAS HIS FORTUNE.
The fullest Man tn Mltaonrt Gett Out of
Trouble tn an l.'n expeeted Manner.
On the southern edge of Phelps
county lives Scott Swartzlander, xvho
is considered the ugliest man in Mis
souri, and there are some of his neigh
bors who will bet his equal cannot be
produced from any quarter. Swartz
lander, xvho is thirty years old, says
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, has
white hair, eyes like a Chinaman, no
eyebrows, a nose of abnormal propor
tions, which lops over almost to his
cheek bone, and is ornamented at the
end with a beautiful comic, bulb, lie
is lank and tall, and there are numer
ous other imperfections that add to
this picture of general and particular
ugliness. Sxvartzlander was arrested
about a year ago for cutting timber ou
government lands in Pulaski county,
and when his trial came up at Spring
field before the United States court
the prisoner was promptly arraigned.
While the district attorney was read
ing the judge said, addressing the dis
trict attorney: "You may enter nolle
prosequi ln the prisoner s case. After
a careful sorutiny of his physiognomy I
am convinced that any man xvho is
compelled to carry that face is pun
ished quite enough for the amount of
lumber whieh he is charged with hav
ing unlawfully taken from government,
lands. You are discharged, Mr. Swartz
lander. Go as quickly as you can, and
don't forget to take your face with
you."
Undoubtedly this decision of the
learned and discriminating judge at
Springfield, Mo., entitles Scott Swartz
lander to the undisputed title: "The
Ugliest Man in Missouri."
MADE FOR A KING.
A Tnrnlp-8lMd Timepiece That Weighs
Two mad a naif rounds.
A ponderous watch of antique pat
tern displayed in the window of a San
Francisco Jewelry establishment on
MontijomoS-v street, attracts the at
tention of the curious. Tho timepiece
is four inches in diameter and is de
clared by the Bulletin to weigh two
and a half pounds. Its case looks line
old cold, but is a composition of base
metal. Tho chain attached to this
watch la proportionately ponderous
and bears a seal ring large enough for
the finger of a giant. The watch was
made by John liittleson, ot London,
two centuries ago. It was, no doubt,
a marvel of workmanship in those
'. days, and is still a timekeeper. It
probably cost about one hundred
pounds sterling, or five hundred dol
lars in our money. The hands upon
its ample dial mark seconds and fifths
of seconds, as well as hours and mm
utes. The dial also shows the phases
of the moon. This remarkable relic is
not for sale. It Is owned by a gentle
man of this city, who has a collection
of such curiosities.
The old watch has a history of some
interest. About two hundred years
ago an English sea captain obtained
from the king of a tribe of savages in
the south seas some valuable trading
Drivileees. Tho kine showed him
. many favors, and one day the captain
asked the insular monarch to say
i what most he would like to have sent
to him from London. It pleased his
royal highness to intimate that a big
! watch would suit him well. Accora-
I ingly a watch was made to order on a
scaie oeniung ms royni pcrsounijc.
And great was his pride therein. liar
ing no pocket, he appointed a youth
watch bearer extraordinary to the sov
ereign. herever tne king went, ine
' watch bearer followed, carrying the
: precious royal timepiece in his hands.
