Proteot the President
An effort to secure a United
States la* severely
States la* severely punishing at-
tempts upon the life of the president
and other high officials was defeated
on the rather doctrinaire ground
• that in a republic the life of the
president is not more valuable thin
that of any other citizen. It may be,
however, very much more important
to the nation than that of a minor
official or a private citizen. It is
absurd to say :h»t during the civil
war the life of Abraham Lincoln
was not more important than that
o» any other American. Rut the
essential fact to be borne in mind
is that cranks, as well as anarchists,
like death, “love a shining mark."
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
public hears of very few of the at-
tempts upon the life of the presi-
dent. The presidents who have
been assassinated were attacked
solely because they were presidents;
had they been private citizens no
attack would have been made on
them. It is not unreasonable to
give extra protection to men ex-
posed to extra danger.—Philadel-

Tha Meohsnlaal Operator.
Thomas A. Edison believes there
is no work so mechanical as the tele-
gaph operator's. In an argument
over this point with a couple of
friends the other day, ha told the
following story:
"One night when I was a ‘cub’
operator in Cincinnati, I noticed an
immense crowd gaCtaring in the
street outside a newspaper office.
I called the attention of the other
operators to the crowd, and we
sent a messenger boy out to find
the cause of the excitement. He
returned in a few minutea and
shouted out:
‘Lincoln’s shot I*
“Instinctively the operators
looked from one face to the other
to see which man had received the
news. All the faces were blank,
and every man said he had not
taken a word about the shootmg.
‘Look over your file,’ said the boss
to a man handling press stuff. For
a few moments we waited in sus-
pense, and then the man held up
a sheet of paper containing a short
account, of the attack on the presi-
dent. Thfmoerator had worked so

Roman Rellot in Paris.
Roman relics have recently been
found in Paris, writes a correspdnd-
-±P
cnt. The distinguished French
archaeologist, Charles Magne, has
made excavations in the Rue Cas-
sini, where he had long expected
there lay remains of old Roman glo-
ries. He discovered the cover of a
tomb, on which is sculptured in bas
relief a Roman blacksmith wearing
his apron. In his left hand he bran-
dishes a long jtair of pincers and
forceps. The right arm is broken
off, but probably held a hammer.
M. Magne judges from the style of
the work and from a piece of money
of the time of Nero found near the
tortib, that the work is of the first
century.^

Frwiohman’t Safety Oepoelt
A thrifty Parieian has hit upon a
new system of safety deposit. A
visit was made to a police station in
the Faubourg Bontmartre by a M.
Samuel V., who came to claim a
parcel of jewels which he had lost
a month previously, valued at 300,-
francs. The commissary consulted
his register. M. Samuel V.’s jewels
had been found and taken to the
station by M. Leon D. “It U very
curious," said an employe, “these
same jewel* were lost on the same
date last yeaV and brought here by
a M. Leon D., and claimed a month
afterward by M. Samuel V.” “It
is very curios 1 Too curious!" said
the commissary. Explain this very
strane coincidence." After a slight
hesitation, M. Samuel V. explained
that, being afraid of burglars while
away for a month’s holiday, he
thought it would be difficult to find
a more secure place to put them.
Germany heads the list as a reading
nation, kussia falling to zero. With
regard to newspapers, the following
facts are even more significant: In
the United States of America 75,-
000,000 of inhabitants are catered
for by 22,000 journals, while Russia
with its population of 130,000,000,
has only 800—i. e., thirty-seven
time* less. This paucity is easily
accounted for by the censorship. In
Germany the actual number of pro-
fessional writer* is.estimated at 12,-
000, 400 of whom are poets. It
would, therefore, appear that
"Tim” Healy’s T*l! Hat
The appearance of “Tim” Healy
in the house of commons wearing
a new silk hat brought out the fact
that for ten years since the fight on
the home rule bill, when his high
hat was smashed, Mr. Healy had
worn a high hat sent him by the
corporation of Alexandria. He
prized the hat highly, and wore it
to its utmost limits. Last week he
was forced to buy a new tile, and
the present from the corporation of
Alexandria is carefully preserved on
a shelf as a relic of strenuous days
for home rule.
Qneen Victoria tells much about her
majesty’s girlhood, which sb*w*
her quite different from the para40*
that the tales of flatterers have made
her. Mr*. Crawford writes: “la

sions. ‘These are my toys and yoa
are not to touch them,’ was tlie
prefatory remark to an exhibition of
them. Money was given to char*
New Cauae of Longlivlty.
Every man who reaches a con-
siderable age has some special rea-
son to account for his longevity. A
collection of reasons from among
all who reach 80 would at least be
interesting, and possibly it would
instruct us as to the real secret of
long life. Professor Goldwin Smith
finds the secret of his age in some-
thing rather rather new. “Having
set out with a very weak constitu-
tion,” he says, "I believe 1 owe my
attainment of old age to my not
having been overworked at school
as a child. At the two schools at
whic.. I was, one of which was
Eton, work was very light. I can
not help fearing the children now,
especially if their constitutions ar*
not strong, are’ overworked at
school.”
ties in her name, but nobody *v«
knew her to give away a farthuig of
her pocket money, or make any
present spontaneously.” Mr*. Craw-
ford writes further: ‘She was an
excellent musician, kept time like
a metronome, played duets and lo*t
patience awfully if her partner was
the slightest bit erratirc. She sung
duets with her mother chiefly, ana
in German, Italian and English.
Her favorite composer was Henry
Bishop. She disliked being taught
German, and once, when ill and
feveriih from a sore throat, was
very sorry to hear that she talked
nothing but German in her sleep.’ "

Famous Moated House*.
The moat which so often sur-

still remain. Perhaps the finest ex-
ample of a moated house is Helm-

lemache, in Suffolk, about eight
miles from Ipswich. The draw-
bridge still remains, and it has been
raised every night for more than
300 years, the ancient precaution
being observed, even though the
need for it has long passed by. The
moat which surrounds Leeds castle
near Maidstone is so wide that it
may almost be called a lake. The an-
cient episcopal palace at Wells is
aurrounded by walls which inclose
nearly seven acres of ground, and

Origin of the Heneom.
The hansom was the invention of
Joseph Hansom, the architect of the
Birmingham town hall. But the
two-wheeled cab which he patented
in 1834 little resembles the vehicle
which now bears his name. It had
a square, sedan-chair-shaped body,
‘ * Jv
hung between two wheels nearly
eight feet high. The driver’s seat
was in front, as also was the door;
the fare entered the cab between the
wheel and shaft.
The modern han-
som was adapted from this original
by Messrs. Gillet & Chapman. It is
different foreign language*. By the
time he got through I didn’t know
whether he thought I was drunk or
not, but I didn’t try any more to
