Stick to it and Succeed.

Perseverance is the main thing in life.
To hold on and hold out to the end is
the chief matter. If the race could be
won by spurt, thousands would wear
the blue ribbon; but they are short
winded, and pull up after the first gallop.
They begin with Tying. and end in
crawling backward. When it comes
to the collar work, many take to jibing.
If the apples do not fall at the first
shake of the tree your hasty folks are
too lazy to fetch ladder. and in too
much of hurry to wait till the fruit is
ripe enough to fall of itself. The hasty
man is as hot as fire at the onset, and as
cold rs ice at the end. He is like the
Irishmau's saucepan, which had many
good points about it, but it had no bot
tom. He who cannot bear the burden
and heat of the day is not worth the
salt, much less his potatoes.
We ought not to be put out of heart by
difficulties; they are sent on purpose to
try the stuff we are made of, and depend
upon it they do us a world of good

A world where everything was easy

Adventures of an AerOnant.

The st. Petersburg Herald contains
the particulars of tue adventures of the
Russian aeronaut Rudolph who as
cended by balloon, and had been sew
eral days reported missing. "The day
selected for the flight was not a good
one, the wind being strong and bolster
Gus. My companion was Professor
Baranovsky, of the Meteorological OBJ
servatory. On entering the car, l sang

let it go. AS the men dropped the ropes

The car drifted along the ground till it
approached lake, when | begged the
professor to leave it with his instru'
ments. The sailors running up just
then, seized hold of the ropes, and en-
abled Baranovsky to get out. They
begged me earnestly to do the same, on
account of the dangerous condition OF
the balloon, but refused. The pro.
fessor being clear of the car, l shouted
to them to let CO. All obeyed the
summons except one mar, who was
carried several feet into the air,
and dropped amid a general roar Of
laughter. After this the balloon sailed
along tolerably well, and flew for fifty
minutes through the air, when, the gas
being exhausted, it fell near tue village
of Rootchi. In very few minutes i

In q Whales Mouth.

A Nantucket correspondent of the In
dianapolis journal tells this story Here
| met Captain Wood, who had been in a
whales mouth. After edging carefully
toward the matter. a friend induced him
TO tell about it-probably for the ten
thousandth time.
Eyes, 1 was standing in the bow of
the boat, with the iron in my hand"
aid he, "looking around for his maj
esty, for thought we had given him lis
death-blow. Suddenlyrp be came right
ahead OF me, and he struck the boat un-
derneath with his prolonged lower jaw,
knocking it out from under me, and L
fell straight over into his mouth"
What did you think thenw asked a
listener, as the captain paused.
Thought wss a goner." answered
the captain, especially when he shut
his mouth on me. But he was fortu-
nately in the agonies of death, too wor-
ried to think of me, and after giving me
one savage crunch, he blowed me out OF
his mouth, covered with blood. ! ut

"And when they picked him up they
thought he WIS killed." said another
captain; Though. after a good while,
he recovered, with the ugly wounds

under his coat.

Cultiyating Ants.

Many of the leading orchard proprie-
tors in Northern Italy and Southern
Germany are cultivators of the common
black ant. which insect they hold in
high esteem as the fruit-grower's best
friend. They establish ant hills in
their orchards, and leave the police SER
vice of their fruit trees entirely to the
tiny colonists, which pass all their time
in climbing up the stems of the fruit
trees, cleansing their boughs and leaves
of malefactors, mature as well as em
bryotic, and descending laden with
spoiIs to the ground, where they COM
fortably consume or prudently store
away their booty. They never meddle
with sound fruit, but only invade such
apples, pears and plums as have already
been penetrated by the canker, which
they remorselessly pursue to its fast.
ne;ses within the very heart of the fruit
| Nowhere are the apple or pear trees So
free from blight and destructive insects
as in the immediate neighborhood OF ,
large ant hill five or six years old. Th,
favorite food OF ants would appear to b,
the larv@ and pup@ of those creature
which spend the whole of their brie
existences in devouring the tende
shoots and juvenile leaves of fruit trees

Sleep nc Night.

Sunshine is given US for use that we
may require little artificial light. Gas,
oil and candles alike vitiate the air.
The fewer hours that are spent in artifi-
cial light the better; and this suggests
of itself that within reasonable limits the
sooner we go to rest after dark the bet
ter. We require, in the cold season of
winter, when the nights are long, much
more of sleep than we do in the summer.
On the longest day in the year seven
hours of sleep are sufficient for most men
and women who are not in the prime of
life. On the shortest day nine hours OF
sleep is not over much, and for those
who are weak ten or twelve hours may
be taken with real advantage. In win
ter children should always have ten or
to indulge to that extent, but an actual
saving, storing up of invigorated ex
istence for the future. Such rest can
only be obtained by going to bed very
early, say at half-past eight or nine
o'clock. 1t is wrong as it ever can be
that our legislators should often be sit
ting up, as we know they do time after
tune, in the dead of night, trying against
life to legislate for life. 1t is most FOOLS h
that public writers, who hold so many
resp lnsibilities in their hands, should be
called upon to exercise their craft at Il
time when all their nature is calling out
to them. Rest, rest, rcst!" There are
many who will disagree with me in say
ing these things. but nature is on my
side. In every man, woman and child
th"re is, at or about the early time ]
b We named, persistent, perio iical
desire for sleep, which steal on deter
minately, which, taken at the flood,
leads to i good sound nights rest, and
which, resisted, never duly returns, but
is repl iced by surreptitious sleep,
broken by wearying dreams, restless
limbs, and but partial restoration oil
vital power. Work with the SUI rs fal
as possible. Chicago Ltdger.

Fish as Food,

During the last twenty years chemists
and Psychologists have been studying
the nutritious value of various foods.
They have advanced so far as to COM
pute the relative values of the common
articles of diet. These have been so ar
ranged in tables that the bread winner
of the household may see at a glance
what food will give the most nourish-
ment to his family.
A prominent subject of these studies
has been the common food fishes. AT
the recent meeting of the American AS
sociation of Science, Professor Atwater
a chemist, gave some of the results ol
these experimental studies.
In 100 pounds of the flesh of fresh COO
there are eighty-three pounds of water
and only seventeen pounds of solids. Ir
the same weight of salmon there ar,
and thirty-three and one-half pounds o
solids. The meaning of these figure,
is that family eating 100 pounds O
cod would be nourshed by one.sixth O
it, while if they fed on the same weigh
OF salmon, they would find one-thir'
nutritious.
Next in nutritive value to salmon
come fat halibut, shad and whitefish
| Then follow mackerel, bluefish. lea
halibut. striped bass, founder and lax
trout. The order in which they ar
placed indicates their relative value a
food. Lean beef is less nutritious tina
salmon, as it contains seventy-five pc
cent. of water and twenty-five per cent
of solids.
While fish is highly nutritious an
healthy, there is a somewhat exaggeI
ated notion that it is particularly walt
able for brain food on account of I'll
large amount of phosphorus which
contains. The notion owes some of i
popularity to remark, alleged to ha,
been made by the late Professor A gassi
"When l wish to be very brilliant"
is reported as saying, 81 eat fish fC
dinner"
But Professor Atwater says the motto
is not founded upon fact. While fish
excellent. there is no evidence to pro-
that the flesh OF fish is richer in pho
phorus tdan are other meats.-You1

An AstOuished Farmer.

A farmer who had been to market in
Philadelphia fell asleep while he was
driving home. His horses knew the
road, and travelled safely until they
reached the railroad crossing at Belfry.
A train was approaching. and although
the engineer, who saw the market
wagon, blew his whistle, applied the
brake and rang his bell, he was unable
either to stop the train or 10 arouse the
sleeping farmer. The horses were al
ready across the track when the col
lision occurred. the cowcatcher of the
engine striking the wagon, tearing off
the running gear and throwing the hind
axle and wheels about thirty feet to the
side OF the road. One wheel was
wrecked, while the ether was not in
jureG. The wagon was turned upside
down, and the horses, breaking loose,
ran a considerable distance before they
were caught. The farmer awoke. He
was thrown out but much injured. As
he gathered himself up and stared in
bewilderment at the wreck, his first
exclamation was, "What mashed that
wagon up that way9"

A Farmers Home in China.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle in China says: Crossing
small stream we prepare to enter
farmhouse for rest and refresbmept.
AS usual, our first salutation came
from the dogs, who were speedily
quieted by the men. These were Chi
pese settlers who had intermarried with
Mongols, and although the elders re-
tained their Chinese traits of counte-
nance, the offspring were clearly OF
mixed race. A number of Tangoats were
stretched upon the ground. sleeping,
having arrived in the morning with
number of sheep for the market town
of Liang Chu, to the west. L he build
ings, in lieu of possessing an inner and
outer wall, consisted only ofa quadrang-
the dwelling houses, with large open
windows. On each side of the door
way the women of the family sat sew
ing aud mending clothes. Mules and
ponies were engaged in the open space
threshing out the wheat. This rude
operation consists of dragging heavy
stone roller to within few inches OF
the head of the grain. The grain was
winnowed by men with wooden shovels,
who gather it up and toss it against the
wind. In the house we saw an old
crone grinding millet and wheat for
family use in hollow stone mortar,
with heavy wooden pestle. The straw
was stacked in heaps at the angle of the
yard. Agricultural implements, of a
bygone age, were lying around; square
harrows, with long iron prongs; plows
with immense shares of a peculiar
shape; the rough carts used for trans
port. Heaps of manure were lying
around for future use when dried. The
dung of the camels. or argol, as it is
called, which is used for fuel, was to be
seen in one of the outhouses. Having
obtained permission to enter the house,
we found ourselves in n square room
The furniture consisted Of a round PINE
table, with some two-legged stools o
the commonest kind. The picture o
the Buddha hung Immediately opposite
the door.

The Golden Sunset.

The golden sea its mirror spreads
Beneath the golden skies,
And but a narrow strip between
Of land and shadow lies.
The cloud-like rocks, the rock-like Clouds
Dissolved in glory, float;
And midway of the radiant 1000
Hangs silently the boat.
The sea is but another sky,
The sky sea as well;
And which is earth and which the heavens
The eye can scarcely tell.
So when for us life's evening hour,
Soft passing shall descend,
May glory born OF earth and heaven
The earth and heavens blend.
Flooded with peace the spirit float,
With silent rapture glow,
Till where earth ends and heavens begins
The soul shall scarcely know!
Samuel Lon9ello'e.

Words OF announcement.

Never be cast down by tribes. If a
spider breaks his web twenty times,
twenty times will he mend it. Make up
your mind to do thing and you will do
it. Fear not if troubles come upon you.
Keep up your spirits, though the day
may be dark one.
Troubles never last forever,
The darkest day will pass away.
If the sun is going down look up to the
stars; il the earth is dark keep your eye
ON heaven. With Gods presence and
Gods promise, a man or child may be
cheerful.
Never despair when fog's in the air,
A sunshiny morning will come without warn
ing.
Mind what you run after. Never bt
content with bubble that will burst
or firewood that will end in smoke ant
darkness; but that which you can keep
and which is worth keeping.
Something sterling that will stay,
When gold and silver fiy away.
