use they are put to is service in the Per-

fellows are thrown into eighteen or
twenty fathoms of water. each with a
heavy bag around his neck. and told to
drown or bring up oysters. Not more
than thirty per cent. ever rise to the sur

loss to the Persian pearl seeker, who can

boy who does return to the surface

But poor little Dilly's heart was sore
with disappointment and fear. She had
failed in the scheme that she had

bravery in venturing into that dreadful

father might be.
She stole shy glances up under the
old hat, but she only saw sober, down

when they had reached home.
He hunted up some fuel and made q
better fire; and then sat down before it,
with his head between his hands, and

How DIR. Guthrie Became TeetOtaler.

In journey in Ireland in 1910, in an
open car, the weather was cold, with u
lashing rain. "By the time we reached
a small inn we were soaking with water
outside, and as those days were days
not of tea and toast, but OF toddy drink
ing, we thought the best way was to
soak ourselves with whisky ms de. Ac-
cordngly we rushed into the inn, Or
dered warm water, and got our tum-
berS of toddy. Out OF kindness to our
car driver we called him in; he was not
very well clothed-indeed, he rather
belonged n that respect to the order of
my ragged school in Edinburgh. He
was soaking with wet, and We offered
him good RUNNER of toddy. We
thought that what was 'sau"e for the
goose was sauce for the gander, but
the car driver was not such a gan Ter as
we, like geese, took him for What
objection have you?' Said he: Phase,

HEAYEN.

Think you the mystic sphere
Called Heaven, which shines as clear
To Faiths unaided eye
As stars in summers sky,
Is bnt land, at best,
OF everlasting rest?
A cline of tropic Gains,
And golden-fruited palms,
Beneath whose plumy shade
The saints tired limbs are laid,
Their brows forever famed
By Zephyrs cool and bland.
A star-wOrld infinite
OF sensuous soul delight?
Where on the spirits eyes
Unbroken slumber lies,
And the immortal will
Dreams only, or is still2
No, no; il cannot be!
A vague inanity,
A life that dreams and bToods
In blank beatitudes,
Whose apotheosis.
Climax and sum of bliss,
Nothing but rest could be
In all eternity,
Would dwindle to span
The cOsmic soul of man,
And never fill the scope
Of our supernal hope.
Nay! endless Rons through
There's work in Heaven to do,
And we will labor best
When piteous death shall wrest
The clogging clamps and gyves
From Off our earthly lives,
Unclose our dungeon bars,
And take us to the stars.
o friends! for me and YOU
There's work in Heaven to do:
The bOundless amplitude
OF evil and of good,
With superadded power
To measure and explore;
The seek the founts of light
truth S empyrean height;
The mysteries that defy
All human scrutiny
Unveiled at last to see,
In full-orbed majesty;
To feel, to know the force
That moves the universe:
To hear the living voice
That makes the heavens rejoice;
In spirit to return
Where our home affairs burn,
As visions, in the night,
Of glory and delight,
With gift of benisons
For the beloved ones;
10 cheer some high-wrought heart
Whom God hath set apart
To be the crowned of fame,
Through noble deed and aim;
To feed with holy fire
he souls divine desire:
This, and much more than this,

The sainted souls employ,
Her everlasting joy;

Burning the White Dog.
Syracuse Standard.

The pagan rites of the unchristianized portion of the Indians at the reservation have been in progress for the last two weeks and end on Tuesday night On Sunday a number of persons from this city, dsregarding the unpleasant weath. er, went to witness the burning of White Dog, as a sacrifice to the Powers of the Air. At precisely twelve o'clock the door opened and in stalked a tall alb, origine with the White Dog slung over his shoulder by a strap attached to the animals neck. After receiving instruc- tions he turned in silence, and followed by two or three others left the building. In short time they returned, one bear ing the dog, another basket of tobacco. The canine, decked with paint, beads and ribbons, was placed on Q platform in the middle of the room, and they marched round it in solemn procession, chanting something in the Indian Ian. guage. We were told that he was ask ing that the dog might carry their sins away to the Spirit of the Air. The strange ceremony having been finished the dog was lifted up and the procession filed out, followed by the entire crowd that had filled the room.
 1ney prosecuted l0 where Ire nau been built between the couLcil houses, and in the drizzling rain the chief priest removed his head decorations and con- menced harangue. Then he started doleful chant, and as he ceased con- signed the dead dog to the flames. A disagreeable odor was soon waited to the nostrils of the bystanders, and the basket, filled with tobacco, was laid gent ly and solemnly upon the fire. While the funeral pile burned on, young h. dian stepped forth from the circle and walked up and down before it, crying and lamenting in loud voice. There was, without doubt, some sincerity in his per formance, as the tears soon began to flow down his dusky cheeks, and he retired into the crowd weeping profusely The almost consumed carcass sank with a dull, crushing sound deeper into the fire, and the dark-faced throng move d away.

ROW A FORTUNE WAS MADE.
A Young Man With Brilliant Future
 He Pays His Fathers Debts.

Some weeks ago a fashionable we'd ding took place in Emanuel Church, and as the sound of the wedding march greeted the ears of the congregation, the groom led the bride to the altar, there to VOW to love and cherish her through life, There was nothing singular in such a wedding. Others had been wed in the same church, other VOWS had been plighted there before. and other happy hearts had left it's portals to begin to- gether the trials and duties, the joys aud sorrows of welded life. But this case was peculiar in itself, and as the groom IS well known among the business men of Boston, especially the wool trade, a sketch of his career may not be out of place. The young man is but 24 years of age. His father had been in business for years in the city, when by some com hination of unfortunate circum stances he failed, and, like an honest man, sur rendered all his property for the benefit of his creditors. The son became an of flee boy in the employ of a wool mer- chant, and by faithfulness and industry gained his confidence and the confidence of others. During the early days of the Bell telephone company the young man
 
 1t into telephone stock, which he held until its value increased to such an ex- tent that, in selling, he made $50000 The following year promised to be good one for the wool trade, and as it subse- quently proved. many men did make large sums in the years of 1879 and 1880 Having friend in Australia and know ing him 10 be reliable, the young man ordered him to buy largely and put up his S50,000 ss margin with one of the largest banking houses in the city, SC cured the necessary amount to pay for his wool and sold it at profit, clearing, it is stated, nearly S200,000. Having accus mulated this large sum he sought out his fathers creditors and paid in full every one of the old debts, and it is said purchased fine residence On Newbury street and gave it to his mother. Since then he has dealt in mining stocks and wool, and is reported to be worth from S250,000 to $500,000, all made in the past three years. He is very unassuming man. and his friends state that nothing in his outward appearance would indi- cate that he was the possesSor of S for. tune. The above statements, while they may be new to the general public are not new on Change, as they have formed the theme for many conversa- ton among business men. All who speak about it give him credit for shrewdness and ability remarkable for one so young, and some predict he will be one of the largest operators in trade, unless he should get severely bitten in some unfortunate stock speculation.

Female CTS.
Philadelphia Paper.


 All the devices of drumming up trade throughout the country have been tried over and over again by our metropolitan merchants with an ingenuity and lib- eralty that have resulted in great finan- cial gains and booming sale of goods each season. The travelling business, however, has bean rather overdone dur ing the past two seasons. Every small concern has it's five or six commercial travellers roaming through the country now, and the novelty has quite worn off this branch. The drummers swarm about the offices of merchants through. out the country in such numbers now, and the rivalry has become so fierce, that business men find them a great bore, and have taken lately to the heroic policy of showing them the door and will not take long, at this rate, to bring the business of drumming up trade into such disrepute, that it will be worse than useless to engage in it at all.
 So in their dilemma they are prudent ly casting about for some means of adding fuel to their fire or reviving the almost defunct spirit of the palmy days just after the war, when a drummer had Only bO tdhG lHt Iudi ilCiS ltl uIsl'CldSb hotel and get all the merchants in the town boiling drunk to be able to rake in the orders for goods at the rate of a cool couple of thousand dollars lick. Two great firms at least in New York city think they have hit upon the very idea. They have each taken of their youngest, best looking and cheekiest salesladies and sent them out on the T tl. 4.,v la which, under the old system of drum ming, was fast slipping away from them. The success of the ladies has been quite phenomenal. We are informed that hardly in a single instance have they failed to secure large orders from the recalcltrant merchants who have gone back on the drummers of the bifurcated garments Surely the astute tradesmen of Gotham are ahead when it comes to the ways and means of securing and holding trade.

Arstingstall, ''For heavens sake be careful there's S100,O0O on the straw that can be trampled out in second" He was as jubilant as boy over it.
 As the visitors left the place Queen was taking up sawdust in her trunk and piayfully scattering 1t over tke baby, herself and the keeper. The hairy, shapeless little stranger, which was at first called America, and then left name less, was ardent,y engaged in satisfying her never ending appetite. A ride of about mile brought the Tribune cores pendent to MT. Barnum's house, over looking the Sound. He was found wrap ped in dressing gown, seated in an easy chair before blazing open fire.

Health Hints.

Oil of cloves is good for toothache. A few drops on bit of cotton.
 Heavy persons growing too stout for comfort should stop eating bread, pota- toes, sugar, etc, and take meats, above ground vegetables, fruits, toast, etc.
 Celery boiled in milk and eaten with the milk served as beverage, is said to be a cure for rhumatism, gout, and a specific in case of smallpox. Nervous people find comfort in celery.
 Fannie acid will stop bleeding at the nose. Take pinch of the powder and snuff it up the nostril. It is an astring- ent, and, as it lodges in the throat, will prevent bleeding from the hack of the nose.
 Bread of unbolted wheat flour is, for making superior bone and muscle to the growing child, far preferable to bolted four, and oatmeal is fully equal, if not superior to it. Fed on these with pure milk children will be sure to have good health and good teeth.
