AsTONIsHED pIUTEs,

| There were Yesterday lying on the
sidewalk in front Of this Office several
thousand pounds Of new type, all
packed away in small wooden boxes.
These were to be carried to the fourth
story of the Enterprise building, and
some Piute Indians who were loafinp
about in front of the business Office
were told that they could have the Job
it they were " on the work" After be-
Ing told all about where the boxes were
to be carried to, the Indians turned
their attention to the boxes themselves.
These looked so small that they thought
the job would be mere play. A strap
ping big buck at last stepped up to one
of the smaller boxes and laid hold of 1t
as though with the intention of tossing
it upon his shoulder at the first pass.
The box no more moved than if it had
been frozen to the sidewalk. The self
complacent smile which had moment
before irradiated the red mans eoun-
tenance, gave place to look OF pro-
found astonishment. Who-o-oop, 4"
said he, as he backed away from the
Aok W tu0 uiStdHC0 Oh SOME PAGES.
" Woo-oo-ee! one big little boxesp'
He then jabbered awhile in his own
native lingo, and half dozen other
Indians came forward and one after
another took hold of and lifted the end
of the box. They then tried all the
other boxes, and finding them all alike
they gave it as their unanimous opinion
that they were the "biggest little
boxes" that they had ever seen. Mas
ses of rock of various kinds being the
heaviest things they had ever seen, and
having no other idea of weight than
that gained by their experience with
these, such immense weight as they
now found in very small compass as
tonished them. A large box filed
with "quads" almost solid lead-they
viewed with great respect, walking
around it and cycling it from all points.
The redskins took the job, but never in
their lives did they get such sweat as
they did before they had landed those
little boxes in the fourth story of the
building. Virginia Enterprise.

THE DEMoORATro pHYf.

The Atlantic papers have much To
say concerning the result Of the recent
election in California. "A Radical paper
OF repute, the Springfield Repubiican,
thinks the success of the Democratic
party in that State is another indication
OF the increasing drift Of political power
all over the country IN the direction Of
bDemoeracy .sai4 ssn ss58 ~ ass4esf
Nothing now seems to stand in the
way of the Democratic organization car
fying the Presidential election next wear.
The great factor in the current political
revolution is settled dissatisfaction
with the Radical Administration, and q
desire for change. There Is good
deal OF material force and something of
Intelligent instinct also, however. in the
feeling that any change will be an i'm
provement-that nothing shortaof dis
missal from power can teach Che Ratii-
Gals the virtue of new ideas, and that
there may be at least enough new men
among the restored old Democracy to
bring in new policies and new princi-
pies. vos,as sif .'g
The old appeals have lost their force.
The voters will not zoe frightened by
the ancient sins Of the Democracy, nor
held by the rast virtues and glories of
Republicanism. More and more GER
tain does it grow that, as between the
Democratic party and Republican party,
the voters, next year, will choose the
Democratic. No ordinarily good nom-
nations by the Republican party, no
ordinarily bad nominations by the DEM
ocrats, can be hopefully relied upon to
change this drift. AS against Tilden, it
would probably be impossible for the
Radicals to make a party nomination
that would carry the country. Neither
Blaine nor Washburne, the ablest of
the old Radical leaders, can be relied
upon to do it. Bristow would be
stronger, but, under the present aspect
OF affairs, not strong enough. Even
Bayard or Thurman would stand the
better chance in acontest with either of
the Radical leaders.
1t is morally impossible to set back
the tide that has turned in favor of the
Democracy toward the White House.
Loose legislation, however, between
now and next year may initiate
against the result which now seems SO
certain.

How To READ THE BIBLE.--Mr. Moody

made arule not to read any book that
does not help me to understand the

more good. Every Christian ought to
have good Bible-not SO good that
you are afraid to mark it-and q Con-
cordance. I think have got the key
to the study of the Bible. Take it top
ically Take Love- for instance, and
spend o month in searching what the
Bible says about love, from Genesis to
Revelation. lSSiis yoa seErn sss iaxe

not. In the same way take Grace

on. When you read your Bible be sure

Take one word in q book, such as the
believes in ST. John. Every chapter
but two speaks of believing. Look mp

No TIME FOR ANYTHING, The great
difficulty in this country is, that we
have no time for anything: The very
walk OF On American shows that he is
in hurry. An Englishman buttons
his coat and gloves and goes to busi-
ness as deliberately as he goes to
church. An American business man
flies after the car, struggling with his
coat-sleeves as he runs, plunges in
head foremost, and plunges out at the
end without regard to his neck. Chief
among our accidents stand those which
occur because people jump upon flying
traias or after departing koats. To
wait ten minutes is something not to be
thought OF. Dinner is not eaten, it is
swallowed whole; and when one comes
to the dessert be finds that the fruit
was picked before 1t was ripe. Every
thing is hurried through, from the
building of house to the curing of a
ham. The women who work on sew
ing machines stop before they come to
the end of the seam. The dressmaker
sends home your dress with basting
threads in it, and no loops to hang it up
by. There is none of the slow, sure
completeness of the old world about
anything, and even fortunes are gener-
ally made in a hurry, and lost in the
same way. If any man We know is
getting rich by the slow and patient
process of saving, be sure that he was
not born upon this continent. Yet peo-
pie live as long here as they do any
where else, and the days are the same
length. Why is it that we have no
time for anything ?-CoTespondent Ne,c
York Ledger.

IF WE KNEW.

If we knew the woe and heartache
Waiting for us down the road,
IT our lips could taste the wormwood
If our backs could feel the load;
Would we waste the day in wishing
For time that ne'er can be2
Would we wait with such impatience
For our ships to como from sea?
If we knew the baby fingers,
Pressed against the window pane,
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble us again;
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow?
Would the print of rosy fingers
Vex us then as they do now?
All, these little ice-cold fingers!
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward track!
How these little hands remind us,
AS in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns, but roses,
For our reaping by and by.
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet-voiced bird has flown;
Strange that we should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one-half so fair
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down In the air.
Lips from which the seal Of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
AS adorns the mouth to-day; -
And sweet words that freight our naemor,
With their beautiful perfume,
Come TO us in sweeter accents f-
Through the portals Of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams,
Lying all around our path;
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Canning ost t.so th,rsss ard th.sHt:-
Let MS find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day;
With the patient hand removing
All the briars from out way.

THE CHANGE IN THE STRAITS OF
,-, GIBRALTAR.


the British channel, are both, beyond a
doubt, ocean conquests over the grad
ually sinking land. The advancing
progress of the ocean in the former case
is abundantly shown by authentic his
tory. We condense the following from
the Scientific American: s4s.s ID. -.
Avienus on the authority of Dremon
OF Amphielus, makes the width of the
straits of Gibraltar, at the narrowest
point, only three miles. Then he
quotes subsequent measurement, by
Euctemon Of Athens, who found it four
miles. Next we find that Scymmes of
Chic measured it, in the year 143, be-
fore our era, and found it thirteen miles
at the Atlantic outlet, which now is
twenty-six miles In width. Turanius
Gratilis, about fifty years before our
era, gives the width of the narrowest
place, from Mellaria in Spain to Cape
Blanco in Africa, as four and a half
miles. Strabo gives the greatest breadth
as nearly seven miles, while Pliny, who
had visited the strait, gives il at seven
and half miles for its narrowest part,
and about ten miles for the widest part
Bishop Victor measured the distance in
the year of our era 500, and found it
twelve miles; while the present Span
ish measurement is fourteen miles.
Avienus also speaks of two wooded
islands in mid channel, on which were
built temple and affairs in honor of
Hercules. These were the celebrated
pillars Of Hercules of the ancient au-
thors. The Carthaginians were OBJ
liged to build fat-bottomed boats so as
to be able to sail over the shallow waters
of the straits," according to Avienus,
who says that Hannibal had reported
that there was "a bottomless and bound
less sea farther to the west" which, as
it corresponds to the Atlantic ocean,
puts the locality intended to be de-
scribed beyond a doubt.
Pliny visited the straits, and speaks
of low lying island, covered with
wild olives. and upon which were the
remains of the Temple of Hercules. =
Pomponius Mela, Spaniard, living
several centuries later, and to whom
these regions were very familiar, de-
scribes the straits as q channel broken
by number of small islands. At pres
ent they have all disappeared, and the
largest ships sail freely over every por-
ton OF these waters.
In 1928, there happened very low
tide, and on this occasion the remains
of the famous Temple of Hercules were
distinctly seen in the oceanic part of
the strait, and some souvenirs were
even obtained for preservation.
The gradual sinking in this region is
balanced by upheavals in other regions,
which are very marked, we'll established
by observation, and carefully measured.
The northern part of Sweden and Nor
way is rising steadily. So are the
azores rising, 80 is ilss islaE:i cf SAX.
torin, and the island of Julia. The
former seq port Of Aigues Mortes is
now nine miles from the shore while
the celebrated Temple of Serapis, al
Puzzuoli, for many centuries engulfed,
is now uncovered and visited by travel
ers and tourists.

WILLIAM TELL MYTH.--The ro-

torical textbooks of our boyhood fre-
quently fare but i'll at the hands of
modern inquiry; but it is not often that
they suffer 30 signal, and, we may add,
80 painful on explosion as the legend of
William Tell has recently suffered from
the researches Of the Historical Society
of the old Swiss Cantons. The conclu-
sions arrived at on this subject by the
learned body in question are thus stated
by the Cologne Gazette: go There never
was landvogt Gessler nor William
Tell. Tell never refused to lift his hat,
never fired at an apple on his sons
head although the very crossbow with
which the deed was done is exhibited at
Zurichi he never crossed the Lake of
Lucerne in tempest of wind and rain
he never boldly jumped upon the Tell
Platte. never spoke his piece in the
defile at Knssnacht, aud never shot the
landyogt. What is more, the inhabit-
ants of Uri Schy!z and Unterwalden
never met by, night on the Rutli.f
