the Conklipg affair, it will show that
Dir. Garfield has becomeduly alarmed

Human Force.

In the lives of most persons there are
periods in which everything is at stake
Home, honor, competency and happi-
ness all hang on the balance. They may
be almost ours, or even be in our posses.
sion, while the events will shortly tell
whether they shall be ours for life or be
lost forever. No matter how dark it is
ahead, we must go into the contest or
lose all without a struggle.
1t is upon himselfthat man must de-
pend in such emergencies. His friends
have their own battles to fight or victo
ries to enjoy. The quality that will
help him most is aggressive force-the
persisting and indomitable energy that
bears down all opposition. The man
filled with this combative spirit is the
hero, the master spirit of the world in
which he moves. lmpediments which
would dishearten weaker men cause in
him the most vigorous eXertions. Diff
culties are swept out of his path, and
though borne down time after time he
struggles on and wins.
They are fortunate who are thus en-
dowed. But we all need what we can
of strength of action. We must have
the desire and the determination to push
our way through the world. Going
resolutely on our way, thrusting OBJ
stacles aside as they are met, gives us
the power of conquering. To be self
reliant keep in sight the motto "God
will not crush me and no man can :"

A HondarfnI Wood.

The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise
says: We have in this State a wonder
full wood known as mountasn ma
hogany." The trees do not grow large.
A tree with trunk foot in diameter
is much above the average. When dry
the wood is about as hard as box wood,
and being of very fine grain might, no
doubt, be used for the same purposes.
II is OF red rich color and very heavy.
When well seasoned it would be a fine
material for the wood carver. In the
early days it was used in making boxes
tor shafting, anc in o few instances for
shoes and dies in q quartz battery.
Used as fuel it creates intense heat. It
burns with a blaze as long as ordinary
wood would last, and is then found
(almOst unchanged in form) converted
to charcoal that lasts about twice as
long as ordinary wood. For fuel it sells
much higher than any kind of wood (;
indeed, cord of it always brings the
same price as ton of coal. The only
objection to it as a fuel is that it creates
such an intense heat as to burn out
stoves more rapidly than any kind of
coal, however bad

g Yes" spoke up soldier, who had
been listening with approving silence
to his comrades recital Of the habits OF
snakes; I" but even the toad knows how
to defend itself against the voracity of q
rattlesnake. A rattlesnake never bites
anything IL swallows, and so IL will
cram toad down its throat whole. /
once saw a rattlesnske about six feet
long, trying TO capture large toad. The
toad adopted a novel method to thwart
the reptiles intentions. The snake had
come upon the toad unawares, and 1t
could not turn tail and Jump, else the
snake would spring and catch IL in his
jaws. So the toad took up a small stick,
about six inches long, holding it at the
center in its mouth. The snakes mouth
could not be distended to a width of six
inches, and so facing the snake with the
stick in its mouth, the toad wearied its
would-be destroyer out of all patience,
and finally he gave up his efforts and
away. The toad dropped the
stick and hoped to safer retreat. ~

Words Of NJ dom.

He who is never guilty of TO lily is moi
80 wise as he imagines.
Prosperity unmasks the vices; adver-
sity reveals the virtues.
An indiscreet man is like an unsealed
letter-every one can read it.
Some persons mistake noise for argu-
ment.
They that govern most make least
noise.
He that too much fears hatred is unfit
to rule.
The first ingredient in conversation is
truth, the next good sense, the third,
good humor, and the fourth wit.
Envy is a passion so full of cowardice
and sham that nobody ever had the con-
hdence to own its possession.
The time for reasoning is before we
have approached near enough to the
fruit to look at and admire.
He who is false TO the present duty
breaks thread in the loom, and will
see the effects when the weaving of 8
lifefme is unrRveled.

Itself is miniature affair (as indeed is
everything in JAPAN, and is divided
into first, second and third classes. The
carriages of the first remind one Very
much of the street cars in New York,
except that they are in co apartments,
each section being large enough to
seat eight people. The second
Glass differs in no respect from the first,
except in the absence of the divisions,

so comfortable, though in summer,
owing TO their being so very much
cooler, foreigners invariably prefer to
'ide in them. The third-cla carriages
are such as no European would deign to |
De seen in. They are as near being |
prison cells on wheels-except that they |
Ire ineffably dirtier-as it is possible to |
imagine any structure that is not aetu-
