A young man, against whom there is moth
ing notorious, has several ways at the present
day of entering society, should his kith and
kin be unable TO command the ordinary mode
of ingress. A good tenor voice will open the
doors of houses which otherwise would be
closed. A marked capacity for private theat-
ricals is in itself an introduction to the high
est. An amusing talker will generally end
by finding his legs under the mahogany in
most desirable dining rooms. Music, comic
songs, talent for getting up cotillions, MINI
icry ventriloquism, conjuring, are all means
to an end. know one man who was asked
out q good deal, simply and solely be-
cause he had q name as being clever de-
signer of monograms. in the days when mon
ograms were the rage. Where he dined he
had to design; as another man, where he
dimes has to sing, play, amuse or talk. So
ciety conducts its hospitalities on very CON-
mercial basis. You are welcome because you
are noble, illustrious, famous or wealthy and
thus by your presence reflect credit on your
host or hostess. If you are none of these
things, you are invited because you take the
place of the professional singer, musician or
entertainer. There is no obligation on either
side. You get your dinners out of society,
and society gets its equivalent out of you.
But to the man who has no equivalent to Of
fer, society is the coolest of hosts.

to be indigenous to Japan. Its technical
term has not been ascertained, but j: is known,
and appropriately so, as the ''Baby Plant {"

height of four feet and blossOmiDg semi-an-

not more than twelve inches in height, with
leaves about six inches long and two inches
wide The flower is star shaped, having five
petals of handsome brown and yellow color
The calyX encirces and protects a tiny little
figure that bears an exact resemblance TO a
nude baby, its little arms and legs outstretch-

over this diminutive form is a small canopy,

TWO TERRIFIED HUNTERS.
Chased Ont OF the Berkshire Hills by an
Enraged Maniac, on Whom They Fired.

[Pttsfed (Mass.) Letter to New York SUM-
Two Vermont hunters, John Simmons and
VIM. Shegan, aver that they met with q
strange adventure day or two since, on the
Pine Crabble" peak, just east OF BIackinton
village, tour miles north of North Adams.
The pine-crabbed peak was, some years ago,
the resort of wild animals, and OF late has
seldom been visited. The story Of the hunters
is that, while hunting in the vicinity of this
mountain, they heard slight noise near a
rugged cliff, and saw huge hairy object,
apparently half man and half beast, spring
from behind the cliff and start for the woods,
running with the speed of the wind. Mis-
taking it for wild animal, one of the hunters
fired at it. The shot appeared to take effect
In the arm, for, with scream OF pain, the
creature halted, tapping the wound, and turn
ing, charged its pursuers, who with empty
guns in hand dared not measure strength
with such foe. Dropping their guns, both
sought safety in flight, and stopping only
when compelled to do SO for lack of ability
to run further. The men say they are posi-
tive the creature resembles man in its gen
eral appearance. 1t was wild-eyed and very
fierce in its disposition. judging from the
short time they saw it.
The hunters story revives long forgotten,
but now distinctly recalled yarn to the effect
that many years ago lunatic, then young
man, escaped from his keepers from some
where near the New York State line, and
gained the mountain fastness, where he eva
ded pursuit, and it is thought subsisted on
berries and the flesh of animals killed through
some means best known to himself. Several
years later, strange creature answering the
description of the being recently seen, with
the exception of the grizzly beard, was dis
covered by party of children who were
berrying on the mountain, and it is thought
that this may be the same.
The hunters say that they are positive that
it was no optical illusion, but a genuine wild
man, and very fierce one at that. The
creatures arms they say was long and hairy,
and it looked very much like full grown
gorilla. They aver that it ran with remark
able swiftness, all the time uttering loud
cries as though in pain end enraged. They
declare that it was only tv their utmost exer-
tions that they escaped their pursucr, and
they say that there is not money enough in
Massachusetts to hire them to again venture
across its path.
There is talk of organizing an armed force
in Williamstown TO 60 in search of the crea-
ture. |

Advice to Il Young Man.

Remember, my son, you have to work.
| Whether you handle pick or pen, a wheel
barrow or a set of books, digging bitches or
editing paper, ringing an auction bell or
writing funny things, you must work. If

who work the hardest. Don't he afraid of
killing yourself with overwork, son. 1t is
beyond your power to do that.
Men cannot work so hard as that on the
sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes,
but it's because they quit work at p. m. and
don't get home until q. m. It's the interval
that kills, my son. The work gives you an
appetite for your meals, it lends solidity to
your slumber, it gives you perfect and
grateful appreciation of holiday.
There are young men who do not work,

LAST DAYS OF POMPEII.

[September "a. A. D. 10
Full eighteen hundred years like cinders down YES
suvius side,
Have passed dead Pompeii since her last and fat
al tide
Of fame and livid lava FELL engufing deep in gloom
Her homes her pOmp, her very site in vast living
tomb.
Festive the day broke over broad Campania's plain
And even grim Vesuvus' brow for once forgot to
frOwn,
While all encircling hills exulted in that morning s
When doomed Pompeil's people thronged to gut their
eyes on DEATH
Her gaudy villas smiled above the mist and valley
then,
Her red-tiled roofs and time worn towers rose young
and gay again;
Portal crowning statue welcomed each glad stream
of lite
But through the bright'nng scene. the elder PIiny,
wise as brave,
Forebodng SEES the trembling shore repe the tardy
And listening hears with quaking heart a murmur
Along the beauteous rvers bank and laughing mead
Ows creep,
"Ihe gods the guiltless vengefu orcus bursts
with ire"-
Swift the velara tent reveals the mountains awful
The gladiator quiverng low, is left to rise die
The lion, roaring iercey, turns like all the rest, to
Night IN the realm OF with ruching darkness
comes on all,
NeSuVluS like plue trees spreading rs
pail;
In vain the priest of Isis strives to lig tht he sacred
flame,
In vain the guard of mighty Rome prove worthy of
their name
The late Gomorrah as the DID, in ashes sinks at last
Her day has come, her doom il sealed, her ride and
life past,
And set, exhumed, Pompeii lives again to tell her
story
Clearer than Pinys classic page to show her age and
glory,
Thus often rome Overwhelming fate that leaves the
hear fOrOrn
Serves but save mans thought and worth for ages yet
unborn,
As still survives and speaks above the ashes of her
woe,
TIE city burned and buried eighteen hundred years

why the BuffaIo deserted This sectien
from the Rawlins Journal.

From the RaWllne journal
In travelling through portions of Wyoming
Territory one cannot but observe the great
number of buffalo skulls and skeletons scat
tered over the hills and plains, giving evil
dence that these animals were once very
numerous all over the country. Go where
you will, these white-bleached bones can be
found dotting the plains and hills, monu-
ments of departed genus which roamed un-
disturbed over the land. H., .-.,.....,.,...,.. .
In conversation with old mountain and
plainsmen we learn the cause OF the abandon
ment, and why the aDimals now avoid the
country. The story comes from the Indians,
and dates back to period previous TO the Oc-
cupancy of these mountains by the whites.
Many years ago the country around where
Rawlins now stands was the finest hunting
ground on the continent Buffalo in enOr-
nous herds roamed hither and thither. furn-
shing an abundant supply of meat to the ma
tives. as well es robes TO protect them from
the severe storms of winter. One winter
proved to be an unusually mild one, but o
trife of snow falling in the mountain, and IN
consequence the stream which depended up
on the melting snow for water dried up early
in the season. A fearful drouth prevailed
over all the country, and buffalo, as well as
other species OF game. perished from thirst
upon every hand. AS many of the noble
animals as were able to travel emigrated fur
ther north. but thousands and tens Of thcus-
ands perished by the way. Since that dread
ful summer no buffalo have eyer returned.
Whether it be brute instinct, which causes
them to avoid this section, or whether the ex-
periences of that summer have been handed
down from old to young ia animal tradition
will never be known, but the fact exists, that
none of the noble game have been seen south
of the Sweet -watar since the drouth.
