Under the above caption the Chi cago Tribune tells some interesting facts showing that the mechanical ingenuity of man, cannot cope with the safe cracker. One Samuel Rod man, Jr., who formerly belonged tc the United States Engineering De par tment, but recently is an expert m high explosives, has been chosen to test the power of yarious manu &ctare3 of safes and has proven to bf superior to any one yet presented. He needs few implements, and if he should choose to lay aside his useful and honest occupation there is prob ably not a vault in the land that he csoald not .relieve of its contents in from 30 minutes to 2 hours; Nor is Mr. Rodman alone, for profession ai craojeers, are np to the tricks.

Conn., was to have been mar ried to Elmer Merrill, a merchant of Staten Island, New York, on Christ mas night, but at her own instance the marringe was indefinitely post poned. In a letter to the New York World, the 2ey. Frank E Robbins, Miss Smith's pastor, explains why it v. i that the young lady declined to allow the marriage to proceed, as follows: ''Miss Smith is a diligent Bible student and withal a most devout young Christian woman, and having failed in her earnest and constant endeavors to win. this young man to accept Christ as his Saviour, the conviction grew upon her that she ought not to marry him. The "Apostle j Paul's stern warning to Christians, 'Be not unequally yoked with, nnbelievers,, was accepted by ner m an seriousness,. The question arose:; If , she did not possess suf ficient; c influence oyer this young man. ta effect his reformation be fore, would she after marriage ? Common sense answered no. There was no vision, no hysterics nothing hn fe Wod old-fashioned commtn Bense about wall." . Miss SmlthNs evidently made of the rightv klndof stuff, and will doubtless be a great deal happiex without Mr.'Mernli thin she would have been with him. There wou Id probably not be so much niarrying if Miss Libbie'8 policy should be generally agreed upon, but thre would u n q " est ionably be more hap piness. Marrying wicked youug men to reform theai is a snare an d a delusion. There has been too much of this sort of thing all over the country It is the source oi most domestic wos, and cornea out in nearly every divorce trial. No body ever heard of a young;. man marrying a bad young woman to re form her why should not the wp men have as much sense as tbe:men? ' Hurrah for Miss Libbie Smith I Newi and Courier.
