The Race Ot Samson.

From time to time the world is aston
ished at the prodigies performed by
strong men. They have no particular
nationality, but spring from all coun-
tries. Joseph Pospichilla was wont to
amuse the Hungarian public by holding
table in the air by his hands and
teeth, while couple OF gypsies danced
upon it to a third fddling. He and
one Of his brothers would bear upon
their shoulders q sort of wooden bridge,
while cart full of stones, drawn by two
horses, was driven over it, Falling
into evil ways, Joseph was imprisoned
in the fortress Of Olen, and one day he
volunteered to give the prison inspec-
tors a specimen Of his abilities and
permission being accorded, he SO ar

professional acrobat recently executed
the following extraordinary feat; As he
swung head downward from trapeze
to which his ankles were fixed, horse
covered with gay trappings and begirt
with a broad leathern surcingle having
two strong loops attached to it, and
mounted by asfull grown man, was
brought on the central stage, above
which Joigbery hung suspended. Seiz-
ing the loops with his hands, the French
man, by sheer muscular strength, lifted
the horse and rider some inches of the
stage, sustained their combined weight
in the air for some seconds and let them
down again as evenly and slowly as had
raised them. Mr. Stanley tells US that
Simba, chiat overseer of Amubin Osman's

SAVAGE Love Of Dress.

the love of dress sometimes pierces
the heart Of even savage. Here is a
description of the costume of tall
young fellow who proudly walks the
streets of Carson: A red blanket hung
over rope and tied about his neck;
above this long scarf Of pink calico,
tied in a huge bow under the chin,
something after the manner of Sara
Bernhardt; on his head very much
battered plug hat, in the band Of which
are stuck two or three broken ROSTERS
feathers, and tattered ostrich plume.
At the side, pinned with very large
steel brooch, floats blue veil, about
two yards in length. Around his dirty,
bare ankles are knotted ,me strips OF
red calico, but his feet L I'VE no orna-
ment but mnd. The crowning glory Of
his attire are his earrings. His ears
have slits in them over an inch in
length; and in one, tied with a buck
skin string, is the handle of table,
castor and two brass door-keys, in the
other an ornamented top Of meer-
schaum pipe, broken teaspoon, and
the tin cover from box Of baking
powder. To crown all, his face is
painted with stripes Of red.

chanqes in Tree Trunks.

Recent botanical research has shown
that the trunks OF trees undergo daily
changes in diameter. From early morn
ing to early afternoon there is regular
diminution till the minimum is reached,
when the process is reversed, and the
maximum diameter is attained at the
time Of twilight then again comes a
diminution, to be succeeded by an in
crease about 4awn-an increase more
marked than that In the evening. Vari-
ations in diameter are believed to coin
eide with the variations of tension, but
they are shown to be inverse to the
temperature. the maximum OF the one
corresponding roughly to the minimum
Of the other, and so on. In connection
with these investigations it may be re-
marked that the height of man is
greater in the morning than ia the af-
ternoon, and again, thatother influences
being suspended, the barometer is
higher ii the morning than in the alter
noon.

Arizona Pets.

An engineer upon heSouthern Pacific
Railroad recently sent to General
Master Mechanic, A. J. Stevens, from
Gila Bend, an assortment of the semi
tropical animal pets of that region.
Among them is centipede, about
seven inches in length and half an inch
in diameter; a tarantula, with body
over two inches long, and legs covering
a circular space of fully six inches.
About half dozen scorpions are among
the lot. The longest are over six
inches. An interesting specimen is the
''tarantula hawk" which resembles a
large wasp In appearance, but about as
large again as that insect. It is said to
have been given the name it bears fro m
the fact Of its enmity to the tarantula
It lights down upon the tarantuIa's
back and bites it to death, and then
finishes up its destructive work by eat
ing off its legs. Among the collection
are also several Gila monsters, which
are simply overgrown lizards. the
largest Of which are more than sixteen
inches in length. A ''beautifur' rattle
snake, with seven rattles and button,
which pet the engineer found in his
bed beside him upon waking up one
morning. was also sent to Mr.. Stevens.

The ChrietLnn Life ] WaII..

The Christian life itself is a walk.
FIRST, we learned that man is a cripple.
Secondly, that the beginning Of the
Christian life is leap. And thirdly,
the Christian lifeis walk. Some people
seem to think that it is sort Of q hop,
skip, and a jump, all the way along.
But this is mistake. It is walk. It
is sort of tramp, tramp, tramp; a
steady walk9 IL is described in the
Bible as walk. Eff We walk in the
Light as he is in the light, we have fel-
lowship one with another. and the
blood Of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth
us from all sin" Again, in one Of the
earliest biographical notices we find in
literature. the Bible refers to man
named Enoch, and we have his whole
life summed up in the statement that
he walked with God.-E. Jl1dsou.

WORDS or WISDOM.

He is wise who never acts without rea-
son, and never against it.
Error would be mobbed in the streets
If she did not go disguised in the garb
OF truth.
If man makes money at the expense
Of his virtue, he dishonors his soul.
He sells honor for gold. All the gold
on earth is of..no value compared with
virtue.
It is hard to personate and act part
long, for where truth is not at the bot
tom, nature will always be endeavoring
to return, and will peep out and betray
itself one time or another.
The extinction Of slavery in Brazil is
proceeding very gradually, and it will
take more than thirty years to accom-
plish it. Emancipation began in 1870,
but there are still 1900, 900 ,ondmen
in the country.
If you think you can temper yourself
into manliness by sitting there over
your books, it is the very silliest fancy
that ever tempted young man to his
ruin. You cannot dream yourself into
character /; you must hammer and
forge yourself one.
A loving heart and a pleasant coun-
tenance are commodities which a man
should never fail to take home with
him. They viii best season his food
and soften his pillow. It were great
thing for man that his wife and chill
dren could truly say of him, she never
brought an angry or an ill-tempered
word across his threshold" The best
likeness Of heaven ever seen on earth is
welI-conducted and happy family.
