brothers, who envied it; and, if ia
thers do well to remember that fact,
let mothers remember the misery
that Rebecca brought upon her sons, her
husband and herself by partiality Again,
let none Of us give way to the foolish and
mischievous habit of thinking that our
relatives ought to do SO very much for u.s.
Your brother is a man who has his own
interests to look after; who perhaps has a
family of his own to care for and provide
for; therefore, you are not always to look
to him for assistance if you need it. You
are not, for example, to expect him to
lend you money without your giving him
all the security and the interest that you
would have to give another lender Bust
ness is business, and whether between
ed on business principles; and the OBJ
servance of this rule would prevent many
bitter otfense and contention. Again,
the apostle says: "Honor all :"
which means that all, brothers included,
are to be treated with the respect due to
men; but there is familiarity which, even
between brothers, it is well to avoid.
When friends and families are so intimate
as to be continually in each others So
ciety there is no small danger of rupt-
ure. Withdraw thy foot from thy
neighbor's house lest he be weary of thee,
and so hate thee" Friends are like fid- |
die strings, and ought not to be drawn too
tight" Prevention is better than cure;"
and many of these ofenscs and conten-
tions between brethren may be prevented. |
Where they exist it is hard to suggest
remedy. In such cases the interposition
of friends is often resented as an imperti-
nent interference with private affairs, and,
indeed, a sensible man would do almost |
short of downright wickedness,
rather than meddle with such disputes
for "he that passeth by and meddleth |
with strife not belonging to him is like
one that taketh dog by the ears"
" Never scald your lips in other folks
BROTH" 1t is easy enough to find the man
or men who will arbitrate upon dispute
in business, the disputants not being
akin; but we all shrink from the hard and |
unsuccessful and thankless task |
of medlating in family quarrels.-Ou

THE New York market is greatly over
stocked with oranges, and the choicest
fruit is going a-begging. An old dealer
says henever knew oranges to be so plenty
and so cheap before. One man states
that he has already 5000 barrels lying
about in cellars, waiting chance to go
on the market, but steamers arrive in such
rapid succession that the glut has 40 re-

I" A Substantial Meal"

A FEW days ago a gentleman was ap-
piled to by tramp for employment. The
applicant said he could doanything, from
editing a newspaper to conducting
grand opera. He was also an accom-
plished stenographer, and he exhibited
letters from various distinguished per-
sons commenting him to the good offices
of all admirers of transcendent genius.
Like most geniuses he was needy. His
paper collar, world too large, had been
so often pin-perforated that one side re-
fused longer to do duty and persisted in
tickling his left ear. His pants were bad
ly frayed at the bottoms and his shoes
could only be called shoes by the farthest
stretch of courtesy. His coat sleeves were
much too short, and his face bore marks
of actual want
Surely" thought the gentleman, " this
man is in need, "and while he scanned him
furtively the poor fellow evidently di-
vined his thoughts, and a blush mounted
to the very roots of his hair.
81 have no employment for you," said
the gentleman, "but land he hesitated
nervously under the appalling look of
the tramp have you had anything to
eat ?"
Tears sprang into his eyes as the unfor-
tunatc replied:
Not to-day, sir, nor yesterday, and l
have walked from Chatham to Detroit"
glancing down at his wretched shoes and
soilcd and ragged garments.
"Gad's mercy!" gasped the other, say
no more" And seating himself at his ta-
BILE he wrote the following and handed it
to the forlorn creature:
Messrs. Gilman Bros.
Please let the bearer (Mr. y have coed, sub
stantial meal and charge to my account
He handed the order over and the re-
cipent departed in hot haste. Nothing
more was seen of him, but on Saturday
the gentleman who gave the order hap
pened in at Messrs. Gillman's and asked
for the bill.
The half dozen walters who were stand
ing in the office grinned sardOnically as
the cashier handed out the following:

Mount Shasta.

AVERY remarkable feature of Mount
Shasta is the collection of hot springs 200
feet below the top. The extreme summit
is steep ridge, not more than 200 or 800
feet through on a level with the springs,
and composed of shattered lava, which
looks as though any water falling in rain,
or formed by melting SHOWS upon it,
would Immediately run out through the
cracks. There is in the material nothing
which, when brought in contact with air
or moisture, would cause heat by chem
ical action. Yet at the bottom of the
steep ridge, which at the foot is not more
than 200 yards through, there is little
fiat of half an acre full of hot springs,
most of them very small, and the largest
not more than three feet across. They
have temperature of 100 degrees, and
their water is strong with sulphur and vari-
Gus minerals In some the water bubbles
up violently, and there are openings in
the earth from which hot steam PUSHES
out with great force and considerable
noise. One Of these vents sends out jet
OF steam two feet in diameter. These
springs and the earth around them retain
their heat through winter as we'll as sum-
mer, notwithstanding the severe cold that
may prevail there. On the 1st of October
the thermometer was below the freezing
point at both sunrise and sunset, and the
temperature of the year there is probably
for we have no long series of observa-
lions-not higher than thirty degrees, pos
sibly below that figure. Immense masses
of snow lie ON the northern side of the
mountains through the summer, and on
the northern side there is living glacier.
Notwithstanding the almost constant cold
resulting from the snow, ice and high ele-
vation the great heat supplied from the
heart of the mountain does not give way.
The waters of these springs must be forced
up by a power, which, though small in
comparison, still suggests the mighty
forces that piled up this cone to a height
of 5000 feet above the adjacent ridges,
and from its now extinct craters poured
out. the lava that covered hundreds of
square miles with desolation. .-Shasta

The Death Of Mrs. Dickens

Steilac0om with columns reversed in
token of mourning for the death OF Mrs
Ellen Dickens vile Of the Editor of the

aged 81 years, 10 months and 2l days
1t was only few short months ago

true, and beloved companion, with
whom We had fondly dreamed we should
travel the pathway Of life together, SO
fresh in our mind is the memory of our
own loss, we can not help but Sympa-

can suffer. Where the affections ore

of affection is lost to us forever, that our

ever gone from this earthly scene Of

Railroad survey.

We clip the following from the Cor.
inne correspondence to the Salt Lake
Tribune Sept. 0:
Our community is just now somewhat
jubilant over railroad prospects. The
engineers started out Saturday to locate,
level and make thorough survey OF the
route from here to Snake river, Mt which
point the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake
route will dverge to the west, while the
Utah, Idaho and Montana, will continue
northerly to Helena, Montana. Mr.. III, J
Chapman is energetically pushing ahead
the work. The engineering is under
charge of Mr. Erczon, Of Salt Lake
with corps of fourteen assistants
They left our city Saturday with o full
complement of men and supplies, and
will make a thorough job of it. The
Buise people will have the survey ex-
tended to their place, when it will be
taken charge of by the Oregonians, The
work Of grading and tying the road will
be commenced as soon as the engineers
are ready for the workmcn. 1t is ex-
pected to have the road running from
Corinne to Malad City before the winter
sets in. The labor of grading between
these points, is like much of the country
along the Platte, scarcely anything, rs it
is almost smooth surface, and tue ascent
very slight. The importance of these

The Backward Habit Of the
Japanese.

The japanese custom of reversing
everything, if we may regard our own
ways Of doing as the 'oper ways, is very
curious and in some of its details very
interesting. Tr GritIs, in his work on
Japan, discusses it thus:
"anotber man is planning, lie pulls
the plane towards him. noticea black
smith at work. He pulls the bellows
with his feet. while he is holding and
hammcring with both hands. He has
several irons in the fire, and keeps his
POT boiling With the waste flame His
whole family, like the generations be-
fore him, seem TO all get thcir living in
their hardware line. The cooper holds
his tub with his toes. All Of them sit
down while they work. How strange
Perhaps that is an important difference
between European and an Asiatic.
One sits down to his work. the other
stands up to it. Why is it that we do

japanese screws screw the other way.
Their locks thrust to the left, ours to
the right. The baby toys Of the Aryan
race squeak when squeezed; the Tur-
