The murderer fired three shots at close rauge each ot which took effect. Con- ovas lived about two hours after ! he was shot and his last cry was “Long Live Spain.” The as- sassination caused more or leas “excitement throughout the world. [eeimeepeereeeecnnerine aaa Better Times. _prmee The Augusta Chronicle says ‘that “the tendency on’ every one hand is to proclaim - better times “and thus Lelp the good work along. The belief 1s general that the pendulum has swung to its ‘limit in the direction of adversity mark of, prosperity. Let every- body shove, shoulder to shoulder, and swing it high.” That is the - away to talk. Times depend very larcely upon how people talk about them. Thereisa familiar story sbout & man having been placed ona table and made to belieye that one of his arteries nad been cut, a flow of water heing arrapged at the same time so that tne sound of its dropping ~ persuaded him that it was the dropping of his blood. The story continues that the man grew weaker and weaker until Le died. There are other stories of men in pertect health having gone home and gone to bed, the result of being told by one friend rafter another, according to pre- armngement, how bad _ they looked. itis largely so in busi- mass. It may not be that if, in bad times, everybody woud Insist that times were good they would be good, but they would - “anquestiony bly be better; and it is certain thatif in good times everybody should unite and say that tiaes are bad they would speedily get bad. Indeed, one of the potent agencies in making times hard within the past few years has been the universal lamentation about how hard they were. lhe tendency of. calamity howling is bad in eyery way. Business is at present improving beyond a question, and every- body can hasten the return of ‘prosperity Happily this can be done without putting any work non the imagination.—Chariotte 4} Observer. em A Practical Test. Dom Pedro, the last emperor - ~~ ‘of Brazil, was a man of practica: turn of mind, as the following story told of him by a Spanish newspaper well illustrates : He once gave an audience to a Pe fa sheer 4 i 4, wre i ‘ ineer,.who came to show hime new sppliance for stopping railway engines. The @mperor was pleased with the| Tshall have it covpled to my saloon car aud start. When going at full speed I will. give the signal to stop, and then we shall see how your invention works.” ane : At the appointed time all was in readiness. The emperor en- tered his carriage, the youve inventor mounted his engite, and on they sped for several miles as fast as they could go. There came no signal, and the engineer began to tear that the emperor had fallen asleep. Suddenly the engine came to a sharp curve around the edge of a c.iff, when, to his horror, on the tracg direct- Jy ahead of them the engineer saw a huge bouider. He had just sufficient presence of mind to turn tho crank of his bruke and pull the engine up within'a couple of vards of the fatal block. Here the emperor put his head out of his car windcw and de- manded to know’ the cause of the sudden stoppage. The engineer pointed to the rock, and, much to his surprise Dom Pedro, began to laugh. “Push it on one side and go on,” he said calmly. The engineer obeyed, and kicking the ‘stone, was still further astonjshed to see it tumble into dust before him. It was nothing more nor less than a block of starch which the emperur had had made and placed on the rails the night before.—Harper’s sound Table. a Cost of Stopplag and Starting Trolley Cara There is ou old adage to the effect that what is worth doing at all ig worth doing well. Because we cannot see the force that pro- pels the trolley car we are apt to torget that the humble duiies of the motorman require 1nteili- gence. It Jooks as if he juat turned a handle and that was the end of it, but the real truth of the matter is something very different. It takes just as much electric power to start a car as it would animal power, and 1t requires less current to keep the car moving than to start it, so that a great number of starts and stops means a large coosumption of energy.
