A Queer 014 Artist's Model.
IF America has a real professional
artist's model at all, one old fellow who
19 universally popular in the studios is
surely it. Hie talent is not limited to a
faculty for posing. In fact, it would be
hart to fix upon what is the limit. He
'can do anything from chopping up pie-
ture stretchers for firewood to landscape
gardening, and if the only available tools
are a navy cutlass and a palette knife
he will endeavor to make just as good a
jou of it with them as if he had a full
earpenter'e kit.
He will mend anything from a broken
eseel to a broken electric wire, he hes
been an actor, a carpenter and a sailor,
and now upon occasion combines all
throe and "do" poses besides. In sum-
mer he le always to be found at the

Railway Men's Working Hours In
Japan.
In the opinion of the Japanese Imper-
ial Railvny authorities the frequency of
railway accidents of late is largely due
to the excessive working hours of the
railway staff. in view of the fact that
the accidents occur usually at night
time. According to the vernacular pa
pert the railway staff are on duty for
twenty-four hours consecutively and are
off duty for the next twenty-four hours.
The authorities are said to be busily
investigating a proposal to change the
present system,
Recently a respponsible official of the
railway bureau tree7elled by train to var-
ious parts of the country late at night
and found most of the station staff
asleep. In Europe and America, it is
stated, the working hours of the railway
staffs vary from twelve to fifteen. Eben
twelve hours is considered excessive,
and a proposal is on foot to reduce the
working day to eight hours. In (Japan
it is stated the hours eon be reduced to
twelve without greatly inereaaing the
present staff, and the railway authori•
ties are making investigations to that
end. --From the Japan (chronicle,

TO SAVE HORSES FROM FIRE.
It is almost impossible, without great
danger to human life, to gave horses
from burning stables. Tho smell of the
smoke and tate glare of the light' craze
tate animals; and it hae been as much es
a man's life was worth to enter the
stalls in an attempt to cut loose the hal.'
ter -held occupants.
A simple but ingenious device has been
invented by a gentleman who himself
was the owner of a large number of
horses, which were burned to death elms
ply because they were in their stalls and
could not get out.
Even when the horses were released
from their stalls during a fire they will
not always leave, for the stall is the
horse's home, and is the only place id
which he believes himself to be safe.
Once there he will remain and burn to
death re/thin than leave it, unless driven
out by something he dreads more than
fire. and this is water.
The releasing device consist of a long
pipe running through the stalls and to
the end of the building. To the end of
the pipe there i8 attached a patent
valve with a handle. In each stall there
is a nozzle. Should the stable catch fire
a turn of the handle releases the horse,
brings the nozzle to a horizontal posi-
tion, and at the game time a stream of
water issues forth from each nozzle.
The spray of water reaches the head
and shoulders of eachanimal, whether it
is stooling or lying down. The water
will drive them into the gangway, and
they cannot enter any other stall with-
out finding a stream of water there, In
the gangway they must remain, and the
task of the groom to drive then into
the street becomes an mil one.

It All Depends on the Way You

We hear a good bit about moral sua-

part of a whipping is that the average
mother gives it when she is out of tem-

it. The following by ,Mrs, J. 0, F. hl the
New York Evening Telegram, is inter-
esting;
Love and duty is all that is needed to
govern children. I have seven, and do
all my own work. I did the same with

did not I took the good old cat -W. -nine -

they got older if they told a story or

known any of them to tell me a lie or

Stealing Elephants in Siam.
The otealing of elephants seems to be
proceeding in Siamon a scale which the
owners of elephants do not appear to
find at all humorous, The Industry in
which the elephants that are stolen are
so largely used is the teak timber trade,
and it has been reported by the British
Consul that the thefts are interfering
with the profits of the work. Tho ex-
tent of the trouble may be gauged by
the ahnple figures conveyed by the facts
that in a apace of a little more than a
year one firm had twenty-six elephants
stolen, of which fourteen were recovered,
end another twenty-two stolen and thin-
teen recovered. The crowning insult
appears to have been the stealing of
ono of tho Consul's own transport ele-
phants belonging to the British Govern-
ment, which has now been missing for
nearly n year. --Country Life.

Suicides' Bonnets,
Alb Waltr Schroder, the North Lon-
dou Coroner, wile has had a very exten-
sive experience of inqueets on suicide.%
has drawn attention to an interesting
psychological fact which has probably
not previously been noticed. While hold-
ing an inquest on the remains of a pdor
woman who In a fit of frenzy jumped
into ono of the Iiampstead ponds, the
fact was elicited that her bonnet was
found on the bank, dry, This led the
Coroner to observe that a woman when
about to take her life usually removes
her hat or bonnet and places it carefully
out of the reach of damage before com-
mitting her rash act, and he inetaneed
the recent else of a young woman who
before jumping in front of a train not
only took off her hat, but deliberately
put something on it to keep it fiom
blowing away, This curious behaviour,
which is not merely casual, but as far
as Mr. Schroder's observation and ex-
perienes goes, invariably reveals a pe -
culler twist of the female mind and may
be taken as a striking inetanco of the
prevalence of the ruling passion even on
the brink of eternity. -Newcastle Chron.

years, and that won't be so long to watt
for that much."
