Seeing as we do tlie many lines in the country grouped inlo large systems whose ownership will no douht remain stable iu years to come, permanence of employment and stability of position is easy to be guaranteed and the corporations can now better secure their own rights and strengthen themselves against the encroachments of the public by drawing their employes more closely lo them, showing that paternal caro and solicitude for thoiu which tend to establish good feeling and community of interest. Relief associations under tho guidance of the companies will do this. They ace flourishing ou the Baltimore & Ohio and the Pennsylvania railroads. Tho organization on those roads may be taken as tho type of what othor companies should do. On thc former, the scheme originated with the elder Garrett nearly ten years ago. At its organization all employes could join without regard to age. After a short period thoso ovor forty-five years and those, who could not pass a medical examination were not allowed to join. ; All persons employed regularly by the i company are required to pass a medical examination, must be under forty- five years of age, and must join the rolief association. Thus it will be seen that nearly all thoiremployes aro members. The compulsory feature looks to an outsider like a hardship, but tho obligation is on him only who seeks employment. The employes are divided into two classes—hazardous and non-hazardous: and these two classes are divided into livo others who pay into a fund certain fixed sums each month, according to the amount of wages regularly received. Benefits are paid in woekly indemnities in cases of sickness and disablements and a gross sum to tho beneficiary when death occurs. They vary according lo the amount contributed. Free medical and surgical attendance is given; hospitals are established; physicians are appointed at convenient places along the Hue. Tho company has contributed $100,000, the interest of which at six per cent, goes into the fund yoarly. It also puts 1125,000 a year into a superannuation fund. A building loan association has also become quite popular. There are many other liberal features uf which limited space will not permit an enumeration. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has also adoptod a system of reliel similar to that of the Baltimore aS Ohio, but not so extensive. It is entirely voluntary and numbers oVor 20,000. It rapidly increases in popularity as its benefits becomo moro appreciated. In both companies the employes are rapidly leaving the local bouevolunt associations; they find they can insure themselves with the aid of a solvent and powerful company for much less money than in lhc thousand and one local lodges whoso solvency depends on the honesty of a secretary or a treasurer. Other systems of relief, but to a minor extent, have been adopted by the railway companies—notably free hospital service for the sick and disabled upon the Santa Fe und Missouri Pacific, all of which materially lessens the number of claims for damages uud subsequent costly trials and judgments in the courts.—L, O. Goddard, in Century. A . A NORWEGIAN LEGENDS. Fmili.Mtii' Tales Originating- Wltb til. Norsemen of Yore. Strange legends hover over these regions; tho mountains were trolls (giants), who ut one time had been courting, and who, when rejected or when driven to jealousy, pursued each other, rolled mighty rocks upon each other, or hurled them in each other's path, and ended by being enchanted into stones tliotusolvos by some mightier trolls. Those legends aro immense, as if they treated about folding tho City ol New York together Uko a carpet, currying it olT across the Atlantic and unfolding It again upon the plains of Normandy, without a houso. a child or a cup being broken on tho way. Those regions had at ono time a pool, Peter Uass (contracted from the Scotch Dunlins), who died In 1708. He described iu original verses this part of Norway -Nordland -and tho love and thc imagination of the people have clung to him to such a degree that now the worthy Nordland clergyman is to thorn as a giant of Solomon's height in tho talos of the East. Ho tied down tho devil as you would bind and tamo a dog. Sutan was always at his bock and call, and had to bring him every thing he wished for and to carry him wherever he wanted to go. Ono Christmas Eve Peter Dass sailed on a millstone down to tho King ol Denmark, where he was right royally entertained, bnt noxt day ho delivered his Christmas sermon in his little parish church in tho north, hundreds of miles away. In the same way that thoy have endowed him, theso peoplo, whoso imagination has beon roared by the wild, weird nature around thorn during several months of continuous light, night und day, during an equally long period of continuous darkness, with the wild restless rays of the unrora boroalls across the canopy ol the heavens, and In the fantastic life at sea, with the lish shoals under thorn and millions of birds hovering above them, they will probably in a century or two similarly endow those who today have won their love or their hatred.— Bjornstjerno Bjornson, In Haruer's .Magazine.

The greatest importance is attached to this decision, for the reason that the articles ot agreement of the Interstate Commerce Railway Association compel that organization to prosecute any road charged with violating the law before the Interstate Commerce Association, and the penalty for such violation is. under the amended Interstate Act,imprisonment oraheavy fine.

Casey wus arrested. Tne first Friday in August is known among the boys that frequent the river trout ns "Launching Day." For more than a generation it has been the custom of bovs on that day to euga.re in the promiscuous ducking of one another at the piers. While a parly of lads were thus "launching" each" other to-day, Casey approached Robins and asked him if he could swim. Robins said he could not, but Casev either misunderstood or disregarded tlie answer, and began wrestling with Robins, who wus finally pushed into the river. II* sunk ut once and was drowned before help could reach him. This is the first fatality connected with "Launching Day," as far back as any of those h,miliar with the custom can remember. It will probably cause lhe police tu break up the practice. I T.t.lZ;.N« NIAGARA FALLS. Washington, Aug, 2.—An important meeting of tlie al'rectorsand stockho'ders of the Niagara Hydraulic Electric Company was he'd In-day at Ihe'r office iu Alexandria, Virginia, for lhc purpose of I receiving reports and perfecting plans to utilize the water power of Niagara Falls. This Company have secured the grant from the Ontario Government to use the I water at Horseshoe Falls on the Canu- ] dinn side. The Hamilton patents for i mechanics Improvement) whieh regulate the flow of water and control the situation of the [lower are owned by this company. Eminent engineers have approved the pians whicli prov'de lor tnnnellini! through the rocks st a point several hundred feet above the falls under tho bed of Niagara river, thereby seeming a plentiful supply of water for the power needed, nnd without dlfigurlng or interfering with the beauty of the scenerv at ibe falls. It is proposeal to construct a roailway leading from the Old Maid of the Mist landing to the mouth of (lie proposed tunnel so that the massive machinery required can be put in plaie without occasioning any inconvenience to visiting tourists or residents of the locality. Witli the water power secured it is intended by means of electrical dynamos capable of transmitting strong currents of electricity long distinces, to furniBh light, power and heat to various points with a radius of forty miles. Electrical railroads will be built to Buffalo, Lock- port, Hatavia and intermediate points and on the Canadian side lo Clifton, Hamilton und other p'aces. A syndicate of American and Canadian capitalists have undertaken the construction of tbe work.

London, Aug. 2.—According to programme the Prince of Wales left Ports- month Harbor in his yacht, the Osborne, at 12:30 to-day and proceeded outside the Solent to await the arrival of the Emperor of Germany on board the Imperial yacht Hohenzollern. As the yacht steaineal out of the harbor she was saluted by the guns on shore and on board the assembled war vessels. Shortly before the departure of the royal yacht the German squadron was sighted steaming slowlv towards Portsmouth, and pilots were immediately despatched to take charge of their movements. The weather at Portsmouth was superb, the bright sunshine lining tempered by u cooling breeze. Everything was in readiness for the arrival of the German Emperor and the crowds whicli came by every available means far surpassed in numbers that which marked anv previous Spithead nianeaeuvres. The enormous Government llotilla. and numerous private crafts, as well as all available space on shore, was packed with sight-seers. As the yacht Osborne approached the Hohenzollern, the Princo of Wales signalled his greetings to the Kaiser, to which the latter responded. The Osborne then iicrotnpanied the Hohenzollern with her escort through the lines of war vessels drawn up in "parade" lo receive her. Every vessel, both German and English, was in bolliilay attire, anil the spectacle as the German fleet steamed slowly through the narrow aisle left between the gaily decked war ships—the flower of the British navy—was imposing in the extreme. As the imperial yacht passed each ship sbe wus saluted by loud hurrahs from tars spread out upon tbe yards or ranged upon the deck, followed by the booming of the ships' guns, which shot out their tongues of flame again and again, until the Hohenzollern was hidden by smoke. Then others took up the welcoming huzzahs and other cannons Doomed forth thunderous greetings. Through this gauntlet of fire and smoke the Hohenzollern passed with '.he ironclads Deutchland, Kaiser, Preussen and Frederick, with Der t Irosse and the frigate Zeiten in her wake. Ofl'Cowes Admiral Sir Edward Commell went on board tho Hohenzollern, while Vice-Admiral Baird and other flag offia'ers, with Geueral Sir L. Smith awaited the Kaiser's landing at Trinity pier. Ilis Majesty disembarked and proceeded to the Osborne, where he was welcomed by his grandmother, thc Queen. The Emperor will dine with the Queen ut Osborne this evening. The spectacle attracted to the shoreof thc Solent hundreds of thousands of people, while the water was literally covered with every conceivable form of craft bearing sightseers, most of which, as did all of the war vessels and trans- Atlantic liners set vingas excursion steamers displayed the German flag. ill the conclusion of the naval displays at Spithead, Emperor William will leave for Aldersbot to witness the military review, arriving there on Wednesday. He will return to Osborne in lhe evening to pay a farewell visit to the Queen, and will rejoin his fleet on tho following day for his homeward voyage,, The Kiiiperiir's proposed visit to the Sultan occasions considerable uneasiness in St. Petersburg, where reports "I immense war preparations on the par! of Turkey have already had the effect ol quickening Russian senaibilltv. t'nless sonic satisfactory explanation is given by Turkey of her warlike attitude, it la extremely doubtful if Kinperor William wi'l care to assume the risk of offending the Czar bv visiting Constantinople at this time.

London, Aug. 2.—The interest in the sensational Maybrick trial, now going oa in Liverpool, grows daily and newspapers here print many columns of evidence, morning aud evening. When Mrs. Maybrick was first arrested the damaging disclosures made of her relations with Alfred Brierley, set popular feeling against ber and little douht was expressed in ony quarter of her guilt and her ultimate conviction on the charge of poisoning her husband. Sir Chas. Russell's admirable p-epara- tion of her case has, however, completely revolutionized public sentiment and if his work produces upon the jury anything like an impression it has already made on the public, conviction is out of the question. It is generally believed she will be acquitted or even at the worst that the jury will fail to agree. The medical testimony introduced by the crown is very weak and is far from supporting the theory of the prosecution. Dr8. Humphreys and Carter, who attended deceased in his last illness and npon whose testimony the prosecution relied very largely, flatly contradicted one another on the stand on some very material points, and upon their cross-examination by Sir Chas. Russell both became confused. SSRVIA OETTIN* READY. Belgrade, Aug. 2.—The minister of war has ordered all three military classes if Servia to muster on Monday.

A wuNiiKHi'i i. change haa been created in (he conditions surrounding travel, even within tlie memory of those who are still comparative]!- young. The effects of the ultilizutiiiii of steam arete be enjoyed by the luxurious coaches ol our railroads or cabins of our steamships. while the use of the telegraph an.', cable, the telephone ami the Immensely Increased facilities for correspondence, combine to render travel a pleasure in itself.where, not so very long ago. il was ilisconil'i.rt endured for the sake of whal might be seen and visited. In the summer season the Canadian or United States tourists hnd little more difficulty in running over i" the United Kingdom nr otlier parts af Europe than the Englishman or Frenchman once experienced in crossing the channel, while the Australian colonist can come Irom the antipodes over thirteen thousand miles of land and water in lets time than would have been necessary fifty years ago to cross the ocean separating the American continent from Europe. Everything worth seeing can now be enjoyed by thefortnnate traveller who is blessed with a 'lue share uf this world's goods, without having to endure the constant delays, dangers and difficulties of half a century since.

Thc traveller, a well-known English politician, is said to have taken a trip as! far as the terminus of this road at thei Portuguese frontier, and ta have found upou reaching his destination that it was surrounded by alligators, and that thei station-master, porter and telegraph operator, were all upon the roof of the station, not irom fear of the alligators,! who were always with tlieni. but in order I to avoid the attentions of a lion, which! had been pacing lhe platform duri.ig the forenoon, This incidant, however, must be some- i what exceptional. For the British tour- j ist. who has seen enough of the Old i World, and wishes new scenes and experiences, what can be more pleasant and interesting than having recourse tn the hew great route for the world's travel, a trip across the Dominion, over its many phases of natural grandeur, through lake j and river and mountain till he comes to the Pacific coast, where be encounters I the boundless ocean, whicli he can cross! in comfort to the new Australia or the ancient East?

The secretary bird of South Africa feeds upon rats, mice, lizards and oven insects, but it is especially fond of snakes. So valuable uro its services that tho white settlers levy a heavy fino on any one who kills ono of these birds. Its name, secretary, was suggested by tho fact that tho large feathers projecting from the apex of its head suggests a clerk, or secretary, with several quill pens stuck behind his ears. It is about four fee* tu height, uud its hawk liko bill is a formidable weapon, capable of splitting tho head of a large snake at a single blow. As snakes do not willingly submit to the operation long and exciting lights often take placo beforo tho bird cleaves its opponent's head. Parker Gilmore saw ouo of these contests, and doscribes It in his "Hunter's Arcadia." Whilo stalking springbok ho discovered a secretary bird fighting with a snake seven or eight feet long, called by tho Boors "ring- kual," from the whito ring or stripe around its neck. It is an active serpent, endowed with tho power of spitting Its venom six feet or more. For several minutes tho activity of tho belligerents displayed itself in feints and blows. Tho bird then withdrew and uttered a prolonged harsh noto. In a minuto it was joined by ant .uer secretary bird. Both birds then attacked tho suako, which, being unablo to faco both ways at tho samo time, ro- ceived frequent blows from its assailants1 strong wings. Ono blowstupeiled the snake, Instontlyone bird seized tho serpent near the neck and tho othor further back, and bore it, wriggling, struggling, aloft a hundred yards and then dropped it. With closed wings, the birds descended so rapidly ns to reach the ground as soon as tho snake. Quick as thought a bird struck tho serpent u blow upon tho head which killed it. As is generally tho case, tho allies, having conquered, began disputing as to tho booty. Tho dispute led to a fight, during which tho hunter, who wanted tho snoko as a specimen, slipped in and took the booty. He convoyed tho ringkual to his wagon, where it continued to distill clear poison for an hour.-—Philadelphia Times. To ft nro In Bokhara. Tho report that tho ameer of Bokhara has ordered tho abolition of torture in his kingdom, in honor of tho czar's escapo from death In a railway accident, will suggest painful memories to Englishmen. The commonest form of torture in Bokhara is confinement in tho "black well," whero the luckless victim is devoured by vermin. This was the fate of Stoddnrt, who was afterward put to death along with Couolly by tho present ameer'a grandfather. Other cruelties, too, wero practiced by "Tho Butcher," as ho was fitly called. Men wero thrown down from high walls or towers, wero flayed olive, or roasted In ovens. Mr. George Curzon, at the meeting of thc Royal Geographical society, showed a photograph of tho tower from which criminals are still flung, and ho expressed a hopo that this barbarous punishment would before long be abolished. Torture i*-" by no means uucomiion in tho Indian nativo stat-pa; indeed, Si: Lepel Griffln describes it as a recognized form of judicial procedure. He mentions tho cose of a ruling chief who was openly accused of having tho acrid juico of chillies squeezed into the eyes of reluctant witnessea "He was an old gentleman," Sir Lepol says, "of tho most soft and courteous manners, and tho idea that chillies could bo objected to as a means of judicial investigation did not Beetn to have occurred to him,"—St. James Gazette. A Retired Supreme Justice. William Strong Is often referred to as the most sensible man in Washington. Ho served ten yours on the supremo bench, and then proved wiso enough to take advantage of the law that allows him to retire on full pay. Ho was born on tho 0th of May, 1808, in Somers, Conn. After graduating from Yale he taught for u timo and studied law. He was admitted to the bar in Pennsylvania in 1883. He served In congress during soveral terms, running tu overy olectiou on tho Democratic ticket. In 1857 he was appointed justice on tho supremo bench of Pennsylvania, and in 1870 ho received his commission as a member of lhe United States supremo court. In 1880 ho resigned and has since lived quietly iu Washington, lecturing occasionally, and performing faithfully tho ono duty that tho law requires of him. Whenever tho supremo court is required to tako part in auy public ceremonies Judge Strong put* on his robo and walks with them In tho procession. In consideration of this aud his past services he receives $10,000 annually from Undo Sam's treasury.—Louisville Courier-Journal. How They Met.
