It's really the only illustrated chronicler of

The Bazaar is excellent. Like all the period
Gals which the Harpers publish, it is most ideally
well edited, and the class of readers for whom
it is iatended-the mothers and daughters in
average families-cannot but profit by its good

are to-day making very many homes happier

What are our Aristocratic Institutions I
From the Galaxy.

q It is related that an English lord,
on an adventurous journey in the East,
was received by the chief of a large
tribe, which trade brought him in con-
tact with in Great Britain. The bar
Earic potentate was unsparing in his
attentions to his distinguished guest.
The lord was quite unable to under
stand why so much pains had been
taken to honor him. His entertainer
finally threw light on the subject by
remarking-we reduce the Oriental
hyperboe to our plain venacular-that
the English custom for keeping the
aristocracy strong and powerful was
similar to their own. "With u.s." he
continued, 1--WE put to death all the
younger brothers-you degrade them
and leave them to starve. 1t amounts
to the same thing - concentrating
power in one at the expense of the rest
of the family. But you perceive our
practice is far superior to yours, and
have no doubt your king will adopt it
at your recommendation
The inequalities of human life-how
do they happen? How comes it that
with the uncivilized hordes of tawny-
colored despot and the enlightened
and finely-cultivated subjects of Queen
Victoria, parallel could be drawn SO
striking that it sets everybody think
ing? Waving this for the moment,
let us transfer the subject to our own
country. 1t is the just assertion of the
citizens of the United States that we
have no aristocracy by right of birth.
Further, we hold that such an aristoc-
racy is simply impossible in republic.
And in this connection, we quote with
pride and no less complacency the
zforcible sentences from the Declaration
of our Independence.
Nevertheless, here in America, power
is constantly Stealing from the many
to the few" complaintsa are constantly
heard Of the tyranny of the rich, and
curses are rife everywhere against
those who have secured control-no
matter of what. The question comes
back again: the inequalities of life
how do they happen?

AIlIgators as Pets.

The New York Times has an article
on household pets, in which it play
fully and somewhat sarcastically sug-
gests pet alligators as variety for the
house. 1t says:
Now, absurd as the alligators may
seem for a pet, it SO happens that We
once had some of them, and very pleas
ant pets they proved to be. 1t was
Southern city, not far from the
bayous, where alligators, great and
small, are to be had by the hundred
thousand. Instead of going in person
to catch the little fellows, we secured
the services of an aged American citi-
Zen of African descent, who knew
more than we did about keeping out
of the way of the parent alligators. He
scoOped up dozen or two of baby
gators, and brought them in, his face
ornamented with broad grin of de-
light, in anticipation of the dollar he
had been promised for catching them
For several months number of
these lively little fellows occupied
neat aquarium tank in the library
window, where the sun shone on them.
They were lively as little cats, and
quite as playful. Equally as happy in
the water and ont of it, they would
frisk about like so many monkeys,
when they felt so disposed; and
when they felt lazy-for alligators,
like other folks, are subject to attacks
of laziness-they would stretch them
selves out or lie in a heap, one on the
other, and bask in the sunshine. They
had a habit of eating almost any eat
able thing that was given them, their
principal luxury being live flies. In
catching these insects they exhibit
great dexterity. Large beetle cock
reaches also afforded them much
pleasure. There was an abundance of
these in the house, and the alligators
considerably reduced the stock. These
alligators were in their first Summer,
and were only few inches long. They
would run over peoples hands and
clothes, and climb upon shoulders with
great WITNESS. We gave some of
them away, and the rest, probably
pampered by petting and overlooking,
died.
We once owned an alligator which
was six feet long. But he frightened
an old lady out of her wits, and so we
gave him away. He was too large tor
pet. But in their first or second year
gators are pleasant pets, and no more
dangerous than kittens.

Those we love truly never die,
Though year byyear the sad memorial wreath,
a ring of flowers, types of life and death,
Are laid upon their graves
For death the pure life saves,
And life all pure is love; and love can reach
From Heaven to earth and nobler lessons
teach
Than those by mortals read.
Well blest is he who has dear one dead !;
friend he has whose face will never change =
A dear communion that Will not grow strange
The anchor of love is death.
The blessed sweetness of loving breath
VIII reach your cheek all fresh through years,
For her who died long since, all d! waste II 1t
tears
She's thine unto the end.
Thank God for one dead friend,
With face still radiant with the light OF truth,
Who loves the graybeard as he loves the youth
Through twenty years of death.

The Small Boy of Merced River.

Where the road between Merced
and Smelling crosses the Merced river,
that stream is about two hundred
Yards in width, and even at this sea
son of the year, when the water is
quite low, it looks like daDgerrous
and deep stream TO cross. Last Thurs
day patent medicine agent, travelling
on horse back through that section,
came to the river, and hcsitatcd about
attempting 10 ford il, as he saw the
wide expanse of rushing waters
There is no bridge anywhere along
there, so, after some indccison, he con-
cluded to swim his horse across
Spying small boy fishing in small
punt tied to the bank, ho said;
"IIcllo, Bub"
HIcllo, yourself"
Scan | get you to take my clothes
across tho river in your boatp
81 rekin you kin, if you've got any
soap"
eAll right; III give you a quarter
to take over my clothes and this car
pet-sack 10 the opposite shore"
To this the boy nodded assent, the
stranger disrobtd, turned over the
carpei-sack and habilimcnts TO the
juvenile, who padded out into the
stream, and mounted bis horse pre-
paratory TO swimming the river and
enjoying the luxury OF bath. With
a plash at every movement the horse
stepped into the stream, and walked
acrcss--the yater was nowhere more
than eighteen inches deep. To say
that The medicine man, perched on
the back Of his horse, was q man Of
iniqpity for the space OF halt an hour
would hardly do justice TO the occa-
sipp. There were enough "dams"

Apples VS.. Fish.

Now comes Psychologist who, un-
lighted perhaps as 10 his intellect by
the lamp of u fish diet, proclaims TO
mankind that apples are tho proper
food, after all, of the scdentary brain
workers. The apple, according TO
this observer, who obviously investi-
gates things to the core, contains moro
phosphorus, or brain sustcnancc, than
any other member Of the vegetable
republic; therefore il is conducive to
mental activity. There are grounds
for crediting this, and grounds not
wholly unconnco;ed with The Darwin
ian origir Of species, either. 1t was
from that old p;ppin in tho orchard of
Eden that ''the grand old gardener
and his wife" derived their first intel
loctual inklings. They were Simians,
low-broweJ, disagreoable, anthropoid
apes. They took 10 diet Of apples,
prepared for them by the same culi-
nary artist who is now supposed TO bo
ceasclessly occupied in "cooking the
goose" of mankind, and 10 at one
flash intellect dawned upon them, and
they found themselves, matrimonially
speaking, The tirst phosphorus match
ever arranged, with Lucifcr to spare.
The drawback to this great discovery
without meaning the least disre-
spect to New jerscy-apple- jack. Let
the tectotal tooraloos look well to this.
Whom the in-hammerers get hold
of the notion that apple Juice is tho
best burning, fuid for their cerebral
lamps they will soon begin to think
that all work and no apple jack makes
the other Jack dull boy, and thence
forth jimjams will rule the intellectual
roast, under ihp immediate supern-
tcndenco Of ths eminont culinary ar
tist aforesaid.
