A Niagara Fella, Ont„ special says :— Clue of the most exciting and thrilling run- aways that ever occurred here on the sus- pension bridges took place Monday after- noon. Two maddenedteams of horses. chased each other .across the now suspension bridge from the Canadian to the American side, without drivers, and with a woman in one carriage and a man in the other. Row both escaped death is miraculous. Mr and Mrs. Thomas 13. Norris and the lady'e sis- ter, Miss Annie Willis, of Culpepper, Pa., were about to take their carriage on this side, near the neper suspension bridge. Mrs. Norria had jumped into the carriage, when the horses became frightened and started. The driver, William Davy, tried to atop them, but a baby ran in front of him and be missed his lines. The team whirled into the suspension bridge and'bes gan a wild dash across, with Mrs. Norris on the back seat. Women and childreu on the bridge screamed and clung to the edge of the railing to avoid being run down ; men shouted aura tried to stop the animals, but it was useless. The carriage swayed frightfully, but Mrs. Norris clung to the seat. Near the centre of the bridge a hank had come to a standstill and A COLLISION WO INEVITABLE. Mrs. Norris, before the collision, leaped from the swaying carriage and struck on the guard rail of the bridge, which is 200 feet above the water. She shattered all the bones in her arm and was badly bruised. A driver named Slay, who was ahead of the team on the bridge, jumped out tohelp stop the runaways, when hie team started up. There were two occupants of his carriage, Walter Wilde, of Northampton, SSegletei, and Charles Wilde, hisbrother, of Kingston, N. Y. The latter jumped out, but the Eng- lishman remained in the carriage and exper- ienced a ride the like of which he does not, care to repeat. The team rushed across the bridge, up the hill and through the principal business streets of the city, being caught by a man at the corner near the New York Central station, Wilde was helped out prostrated with fright. The first carriage was wrecked and the horses badly injured,. SNAT('IIli.P FStOD3 THE RAIN$.. A story of a man being snatched from the brink of the gorge is that related by James Lehierid and John Thomas. Lass t night, while walking up the long, narrow, winding roadway from' the Maid of the Mist landing to the top of the gorge on this side of the river, their dog became uneasy when they reached the top andbarked loudly The Wien made a search along the high bank and to their surprise found a young man lying an the very edge of the bank with his head hanging over. He was in a stupor or sleep and his hat had fallen over the cliff, and any move on the part of the man would have hurled him over. The men resolved to grab the man suddenly. and pull him back oat of danger before he could awake. This they did, He was found to be Charles. H. Moffat, of Buffalo, a wealthy young man who, it es said, had been on au exttr.3ed spree. Ho had ar- rived at the Clifton house and had wandered out during the evening, and probably lain down an the bank and crawled to the edge, where he fell aalevla, The men who res- cued him restored his fiat, and Mr. Moffat has gone to Buffalo. He refused to go out and view the place where he had his even- ing nap, and could hardly bo made to be- lieve the thrilling experience he: had passed thr-augb. Dainty Workmanship of Old. That minute mechanical construction can lay claim to ct,nsiderablo antiquity is evi- denced by the works of Pliny and Adrain, who relate that Myrmisides constructed out of ivory a ship with all her appurten- ances and a chariot with four whorls and four horses, both so small that a bee could hide eftber of them with its wines. A still more wonderful work is that of Mark Scaliot, a London locksmith, who in 1570, manufactured a lock consisting of eleven. different pieces of steel, iron and brass which, together with the key belonging to it, only weighed one grain. The same artist constructed a chain of gold containing forty-three links, which he fastened to the lock and key, and upon these being attach- ed t, the neck of a flea the insect was able to draw them with ease. A cherry stone carved by the Italian sculptor, Rossi, con- tained a glory of sixty saints. Another, shown at Mechlin, iu Brabant, was carved, in the form of a basket, in which were fourteen pairs of dice, the spots on the latter being visible to the naked eye. A still more marvellous curiosity was a set of six- teen bundred ivory dishes which were said to have been purchased by one Shad from the maker, Oswald Northingerns, and ex- hibited before Pope Paul VI. These dainty turnings, though perfect in every respect, were scarcely visible to the naked eye, and could be easily enclosed in a casket the size of a peppercorn. Twenty.five wooden cannons, capable of being packed away in the same space, were made by a priest. In 1764, on the birthday of King George III., a watchmaker of London named Arnold, presented himself before the kinto ex- hibit a curious repeating watch' of his manufacture. This watch was in diameter somewhat less than a silver two -pence, contained one hundred and twenty distinct parts, and weighed altogether Iess than six pennyweights. Ingenious Chinese Thieves. It is doubtful if any country in the world can produce more ingenious thieves than can China. An inventory was recently. made of the stock of rifle barrels in the Arsenal by the Nanking authorisies and it was found that a large number haddieap- peered. It, was clear there had been a rob- bery, but how the thieves got the barrels out of the Arsenal was a mystery. No one is allowed to enter or leave the place with- out being carefully searched. .A watch was set and the mystery was cleared up. The coolies engaged in carrying paokages in and out of the Arsenal used long bamboo sticks as curlers, The &4,ticks are l}ollow and when the opportunity 'presented itself the coolie :slipped in a rife barrel and hoisted his package on his stick and went out un- molested. After he had deposited his package he would unload his stick at a con- federate's house. There were three coolies implicated and all were arrested. They ate now at the city gates with big wooden col- lars around their necks. On these collars is a statement of their crime and punish merit., After they are relieved of the col- lars they will each receive 3,000 blows with bamboo rods.

Gas was first made in England about 1792, and for many years was used only to illuminate the residences of royalty and the nobility. It is now so plentiful and cheap that as much employment ie found for it in cooking as in illumination. Curved stereotype plates were invented in 1815, but were little used for half a cen- tury after that date. Since 1865 they have come into general, employment in every newspaper office the country whose ed- ition is printedou a fast steam press.: The first almanac was printed in Hungary in 1470. Qne medical firm in this country now prints and circulates over 3,000,000 a year, and it is estimated that the total number printed annually in this country does not fall short of 150,000,000. Needles were first made with very 'rude machinery in 1541 At that date a werk(nau did well ifhe turned out ten a day. It is estimated that the present produot of the United States exceeds 80,000,0(0 a year, while England makes 110,000,000. The first forksmade in Eugiand were manufactured in 1608. Their use was rid- iculed lay the men of the time, who argued that the English race must be degenerating when a knife and a spoon were not sufficient for table use. Last year a. Sheffield firm [Wade over 4,000,000. Tobacco was discovered in 149`x. In 1892 the United States raised 565,755,000 pounds on 757,326 acres of ground. In 1834 the world's production was 768,000 tons on 2,029,000 acres. In 1892 there were menu - featured in the United States 2,87 7,779,440 cigarettes. Carpets were brought from the East in 1589. At first they were made by hand,but the development of machinery in their man- ufacture is sneh that one English firm makes 400,000 a year. There are said to be in this country over 70,000,000daily;troddenby the feet of our laopnlation. Calico printing was inventedin 1670. The j number of yards annually manufactured is too great for computation. One girl of 12 years employed in the Lancashire mills will make 35 yards a day, and in a year can turn out enough to clothe 1200 persons in India for the same length of time. The electric light was invented in 1846 and as late as 1876 was pronounced by a high. scientific authority "a pretty toy," and the prediction made that it would never be any- thing else. At present over 200 cities and thousands upon thousands of offices and 1 c ric. dwellings are 11 lied bymeans of e e t 1 Ity g The American post ofixee was put in operation in 1710. Last year there were 447,54 miles of mail routes and 67,119 s. Therevenues of hede art- ostot P p offices. merit were 70,930,475. There were carried 3,803,000,000 letters, The world's, annual marl comprises 8,000,000,000 letters and 5,003,000,000 papers. The alum -pegging machine was invented in 1S53. By its aid it is estimated that the labor of ono man can turn out 390 pairs of shoes a day. Ono factory near Boston makes more shoes every year than the e2,• 000 shoemakers of Paris. In 1830 3100 ehoe machines were at work,producing 150,- 000,000 pairs of shoes a year. Breech -loading rifles were invented in 1811, bet did not come into general use for many years. It is estimated that 'over 1;x,000,000 are now in actual service in k uropean armies, while 3,000,000 more are reserved in the arsenals for emergencies. Statisti- cians say that there are 100,000,00Q, guns of all kinds in the world. Moree's telegraph was made praotical in 1537. Tile Western Union now has 739,- 105 miles of wire and sends 62,000,000 mes- sages a year. The world's business is trans- acted partly by means of 246,000,000 mes- sages sent every year. In 1881 there were in Europe 41,150 telegraph offices. The world in ISSS had 767,8(10 miles of tele- graph wires. Acid etching was first done in 1512. Little practical use was made of the process, however, until about twenty years ago, when .it was improved to such an extent that "process reproductions" became the cheapest mean of preparing illustrations for the press. At present this method is in use in the art departments of publishing firms, magazines and newspapers. Coal first came into use in England in 1234. During the last ten years there were produced 11,056,000,000 tons, and coal fields have been discovered in every country in the world. It is estimated that the coal fields now known will supply the constantly increasing demand for 1000 years, which will give the world time to look round and either discover more or find a proper substitute. The harvester was invented by McCor- mick in 1831. Since that time this machine has been brought to such perfection that, it is said, it will ant and bind an acre of grain in forty-five minutes. To such an. extent has machinery superseded hand work in the grain farms, of the Northwest that it is estimated that the labor of one man will raise enough grain to support a thousand men for a year, while the labor of a second will transport it to market, and that of a third will prepare it for food. Lost and Found. An old woman has just died in a Vienna iaospital whose history is worth recording. When this woman was 25 years old and had been happily married three years, her husband suddenly disappeared, and though he was sought by the police and advertised for, no trace of him was found. Thirty years after the disappearance of her hus- band Magdalene Wildhofer was entitled by the Austrian law to have her husband de- clared dead and to marry again. He was again advertised for, and as' he did not come, she married one who had long been her suitor. After twoyearsof happiness the first husband, who was 68 years old at the time, returned, and the woman did not hesitate to let him take his old place and had a judicial separation from her second. husband, who perfectly understood that he must give way to prior rights and with- drew. Frau Magdalene nursed the first husband faithfully until he died -a few years ago, and she never heard of her second husband again. The Temptrees. "They say that stolen kisses are the sweetest," he said, a$ they sat on the steps looking at the moon. "Indeed ?" she said. "Yes. What do you think about it?" "Oh, I have no opinion at all; but it seems to me, if I were a young roan, I wouldn't be long in doubt as to whether they were or not." "I have a sure way of getting mosquitoes out of a room," said the melancholy man at the seaside boarding house. "How do you do it?" asked several people at once. "I go out of doors myself," he replied. rIE MYSTERIES OF MOROCCO Are Facts Narrated by a Journalist Prom Tangiers. A Grandmother its rweuty--!halt l a Has- san Melee a 'rust "Cesspool of Rotten, news" as out Abselisese Tyrant. A. manof mysteries .from Al oroaco, Mr. Budget( Meakin, editor of the Tangier Times, who is now on a tour of America, was interviewed by a' Montrealreporter the other day. Of Mt. Meakin the Review of Reviews, had eaid that he "is one of the very few Englishmen who knows something of that mysterious Empire '(Morocco.) No one knows all abont Morocco, no not even the Moors themselves, but Mr. Meakin knows a great deal, and as he is going to lecture round the world on the subject at his heart, the general average of informa- tion an the snbjeoia is going to be raised." In a half.hour interview Mr. Meakm made. it clear that be had neither been libelled or flattered by the Iteviaw. He told of a land that has receded from a foremost place among the nations of the world to the most hopeless, helpless stagnation. It is a land where women become mothers at twelve and fifteen and GRAN'DMOTIINIta =TIMMY. Indeed, itis recorded, says Mr. Meakin, that at least one Moroccan woman became a. grandmother at twenty. And every authority on Morocco will agree that the average Moorish woman is old and wrinkled and graceless before she has seen aquarter of a century .Air, Meakin knows, for he lived there upward -of nine years on intimate terms with the Moroccans, speaking their language and wearing their aoetume. As a result of that acquaintance, Mr, aleaktinhas written several stories of Moorish life, "Sons of Ishmael," "Brown Barbary,"ete., which competent critics have pronounced standard works. "It is," said Mr. Meakin, speaking of Morocco, " an immense cesspool of rottenness, Despotism and anarchy are there seen to be the complements of each other. Mull el Hassan, the Sultan, is a mars of thought and reading, but his con - options of human liberty, if he has any, are very vague. Be maintains his absolute sway by playing off ane European nation against another. And his governors hold from him, as Vicar of God, power of life and death over all Morocco, and they use it. Periodically, by the permission of the Sultan, the more powerful tribes literally eat the washer ones up, enslaving or slaughtering the men and desolating the land by fire. If Europe does not interfere, this once powerful people will sink into the lowest depths of barbarism, and eventually die off the earth. But if the country be opened up, Canada will have a competitor greater than India in the wheat markets of the world. For to- day, with an export duty of about 60 per cent. on wheat, and over 100 per cent. on maize, large quantities of these cereals are exported from Morocco. Women in English Politics. The part the women play in an English election is one of the things which no American can accept as en improvement over our own methods. It may either amuse Bina or shock him, but he would not care to see i4 adopted at home. The canvassing in the country from cottage to cottage he can understand; thatseems possible enough. It takes the form of a polite vieit to the tenants, and the real object is cloaked with a few vague inquiries about the health of the children or the condition of the crops, and the tracthke distribution of campaign documents. Bat in town it is different. The invasion of bachelor apartments by young Primrose Dames is embarrassing and un -nice, and is the sort of thing we would not allow our sisters to do ; and the house. to -house canvass in the alleys of Whiteohap. el or Among the savages of Lambeth, whioh results in insult and personal abuse, is, to our way of thinking, a simple impossibility. The English, as a rule, think wo allow our women to do pretty much as they please, and it is true that they do in many things enjoy more freedom than their British cous- ins, but the men in our country are not so anxious to get into olfice,greedy as they are after it, as to allow their wives, in order to attain that end, to be even subject to annoyance, certainly not to be stoned and hustled off their feet or splat- tered with the mud of the Mile -End Road. Any one in. England who followed the elec- tion last year knows to the wife of which distinguished candidate and to the daugh- ters of which cabinet minister I refer. I have seen women of the best class struck by etones and eggs and dead fish, and the game did not seem to me to be worth the candle. I confess that at the timet was so intent in admiring their pluck that it ap- peared to ane as rather fine than otherwise, but from this calmer distance I can sea nothing in the active work of the English woman in politics which justifies the risks she voluntarily runs of insult and indignity and bodily injury. A seat in the House would hardly repay a candidate for the Toss of one of his wife's eyes, or of all of his sister's front teeth, and, though that is put. ting it brutally, it is patting it fairly. rt would not be fair, however if I left the idea in the reader's mind that the women go into the work unwillingly; on the contrary, they delight in it, and some of them aro as clever at it as the men, and go to us great lengths, from Mrs. Langtry, who plastered her house from pavement to roof, with red and white posters for the Conservative candidate, to the Duchesses who sat at the aide of the member for Westminster and re- gretted that it threatened to be an orderly meeting.. Itis also only fair to add that many of the most prominent Englishmen in polities are mach opposed to what they call the interference of women in matters political as they are to bribery and corrup- tion, and regard both elements of an elec. toral campaign with a pronounced disfavor. The reply which the present President of the United States made to those en tlausiatic and no doubt well-meaning women who wished to form leagues and name them after his wife, illustrates the spirit withwhich the interference of women in poll - ties is regarded in this country. But then it a new thing with us, and it is only right to remember that from the days of the Duchess of Devonshire's sentimental canvass tothe present, English women have taken a part in general elections ; that there is precedent for it ; and when you have said that of anything English, you Have justified it for all time to come. The. young American girl who would not think it proper to address men from a platform and gave them a chance to throw things at her, must remember that the English girl would not give the man sheknew a cup of tea in the afternoon unless her mother Were in the room to take care of her. And I am sure the women in My Candidate's cam- paign almost persuaded me that they, as the political agent declared, did more than himself to 'win the election,—CFrom " A General Election in England," by Richard Harding Davis, in Harper's Magazine for September. tgr.o ui ri. illitkk ^"r%8•:w'.a;, rsali NeM.::NVw,.ree for infants and Children.

SHARKS GOT HIS BOATMATES. he unsivia me Tale—of the Surveyor of Three Seat Hunters. A Victoria, B. C., special says :—Theo - dere Anderson, one of the crew of the Victoria sealing schooner Arietis, was among the passengers from Japen by the steamship Empress of India, He it was who, with two companions, lost the schoon- er in a fog and was only rescued after Isis dore and Johnnie, his comrades in misfor- tune, had succumbed to hunger and ex- haustion. Anderson still suffers from his terrible trip, and will be unable to engage in env hard work for some time to come. He thus tells the story of his trip : " We left the schooner at 5 o'clock on the morning of June 1, the vessel then beingabout eighty miles off Yen-os-Kima. Steering due west until 11.30, we got a dozen or more seals, but lost sight of the schooner. Then we pulled to the windward for a mile or so, and started for where we left her by the compass. She must have shifted, for we could find no trace of her, after pulling hard until 7 in the evening. We listened for the boom of a gun, but not a sound came over the waters for fully three hours. Then we did catch the sound far away in the northwest, and started to trace it up. All night we kept pulling to the northwest, and listening for a second report of the gun. We didn't get it till 8 q in the morning, and then it seemed as dis taint as the day before. The water evetw hour was getting worse, and we coulgesee there was a gale rising, so we did this best we could to prepare for it. We took the fifteen skins that were in the oat with the mast and oars and tied them eourely to the painter for a sea anchor. A shark, however, soon made way with the skins, and we were obliged to replace them svith our guns. As we were lashing the amuni- tion I30x also to the rope we capsized.

I noticed bins a short dietauce }rebind when I was SW1111- ming for the boat, Enid just as I glanced around again on getting to the boat I saw the swish of a ehark's tail and knew that Johnnie was done for. The same shark got all our provisions when the boat went over first). The sixth time we capsized Isi- dore was lost.
