What Would Happen if the Road to Lom don Were Open. If the single idea were entertained that the road te London was open, the effect of that idea would be for the hour ruin such as the world has never witnessed. The panic might, we believe would, suspend the whole social organization of the king- dom. All banks would shut their doors, The means of paying wages would be un- procurable, masses of men threatened with starvatios would be raging in city streets as the Athenian mob raged, and ubless parliamené had very trusted leaders its deliberations might only add to the general confusion. London knows in- stinctively shat, if attacked by a triumph- ant enemy, it can neither be defended nor fed; that, in fact, its only solid protection would be victory in the field, and London, if it got out of hand, would bea pande- monium such as only shells oowld reduces to order. We English despiss foreign na- ‘zons because their capitals are liable to ‘‘excitement,’’ panic, aimless insurrection- ary movements, or reyolts like that of the commune, but we have no experience which justifies our overweening confidence. We have no more idea of what London would be under the influence of terror than what the solar system would be if the law of gravitation were suspended. All might be, all would be, put right in time, for the national character is sound. There must be 600,000 men in the island who have been through the military mill, and the supply of varied capacity is unlimited, but the influence of the dark week would be felt all throughout our subsequent his- tory. Just imagine the effect of the tele- grams upon India, upon the colonies, upon the whole of the mercantile ‘‘plant’’ scat- tered over earth—of which the mercantile marine is only a part—accessible to the news. The week would cost us a national debt in money alone, besides its future ef- fect in the destruction of the idea that England is in the world the one inviolable magazine for the storage of wriversal wealth.—London Spectator. A Breezy Yarn Aboit a Chimney Which Must Not Be Believed. Turnkey Tomlinson of the Twenty- sighth district police station spins some warvelous yarns for the benefit of the ten- derfoot reporter who visits his precinct in search of news. ‘‘Talk about cold air drafts,’’ he remarked one evening, al- though not a soul had mentioned the sub- ject, ‘‘I remember once down in Kentucky I helped to build a big stone chimney. The seaffolding was on the inside, and we all caught severe oolds from the draft. When the scaffolding was being taken down, the current of air was so strong that wo found it much easier to allow the boards and trestles to scud out the top of the chimney with the current of air as soon as they were detached than to pass them down the chimney to the floor of the house. ‘‘When the chimney was cleared of the acaffolding, the drawing power was ter- rific. To make a fire was out of the ques- tion. Shavings, wood, everything went up the chimney and outat the top. It was necessary to get out of the line of the draft for safety. The table was suddenly seized in the current, a crash of broken legs, and up the chimney it went. Then the churn, the chaira, the cat, which held on for dear life to the carpet with its claws, when, whish! carpe‘, cat and all went up the flume. Shortly a darky came in with a thick cord wood stick over his shoulder. The suction grabbed him, but the stick stuck crosswise in the chimney, which gave us time enough to wall her up. Now it is only used as a wind siren to call the bands in the distillery by pulling out a stone at its base and letting the air whistle through it.’’ And the tenderfoot reporter wandered out into the night ina dazed manner.—Philadelphia Record. 4 CURRENT TOPICS. Themes Which Men and Women Dis course About on Street Cars. A certain physician of this city, who never neglects an opportunity to study the traits of the people among whom his business takes him, has been mak- ing some observations recently that may serve as a basis for estimating the char- acter cf the averzge modern Americen. **I have to travel on street cars a good deal,’’ the physician said in explaining his course of procedure, ‘‘and I hear al) kinds of people talk. <A short time age I thought I would keep a record of the words most frequently used within my hearing by people of all classes. ‘*I omit: omes, profanity and vulgar- ity, but otherwise this list, which rep resents one week’s street car conversa- tion, is absolutely correct. Here, then, is a summary of what married men talk about: ‘*Dollars mentioned within my hear- ing, 407 times; business, 295; money, 206; dollar, 194; stocks, 168; bands, 152; job, 81; son, 63; daughter, 11; wife, 4; literature, 0; music, 0; art, 0. ‘*Married women: She, 409; party, 826; dress, 324; splendid, 316; dol- lars, 201; trimming, 187; cards, 161; prize, 151; society, 130; baby, 129; clothes, 84; weather, 62; rich, 60; lovely, 59; perfectly awful, 46; doctor, 43; medicine, 34; music, 6; literature, ) 0; art, 0. ‘*Young men, unmarried: Corker, 562; daisy, 467; girl, 416; beaut, 391: fairy, 306; winner, 302; stunner, 284; hummer, 251; dance, 104; party, 87; old man, 88; fight, 79; money, 72; dol- lars, 50; no good, 42; cigarette, 31; college, 1; literature, 0; music, 0; art, 0. ‘*Young women, unmarried: Lovely, 509; just perfectly lovely, 491; horrid, 476; gorgeoua, 468; fellow, 409; en- gaged, 387; dress, 371; stunning, 352; love, 295; party, 291; wear, 284; sbe, 206; opera, 108; ring, 31; mamma, 28; papa, 16; music, 9; mother, 1; picture, 1; poem, 1; art, 1. **T intend,’’ concluded the doctor, ‘to pursue this subject further, and may be able to give additional figures that will be intéresting.’’—Cleveland Leader. The Largest Book. Professor Max Muller of Oxford, in a recent lecture, called attention to the largest book in the world, the wonder- ful Kuth Daw. It consists of 729 parts in the shape of white marble plates, covered with inscriptions, each plate built with a temple of brick. It is found near the old priest city of Mandalay, in Burma, and this temple city of more than 700 pagodas virtually makes up this monster book—the religious codex of the Buddhists. It is written in Pali. Rather strange to say, it is not an an- cient production, but its preparation was prompted by the Buddhistic party of this century. It was erected in 1857 by the command of Mindomin, the sec- ond of the last kings of Burma -«Hems Journal. For Sale or To Let Two Houses on Pleasant Street. Good stable and yard.
