Hasty Judgment.

Nothing is more unjust than to Judge
of man by too short az acquaintance,
and too slight inspection for it often
happens that in the loose and thought
less and dissipated there is secret rad
ical worth, which may shoot out by
proper cultivation. TO imagine that
every one who is not completely good is
irrevocably abandoned, is to suppose
that all are capable of the same degree
of excellence. 1t is, indeed, to exact
from all that perfection which one can
ever attain. And, since the purest vir-
tue is consistent with some vice, and the
virtue of the greatest number with al
most an equal proportion of contrary
qualities, let none too hastily conclude
that all goodness is lost, though it may
for time be clouded and overwhelmed |;
for most minds are the slaves of external
circumstances and conform to any hand
that undertakes to mold them, roll down
any torrenS of custom in which they
happen to be caught, or bend to any
importantly that bears hard against
them. Samuel johnson.

Shepherd Dog as n Setter.

The Paxton boys, living near Rens-
selaer, Jasper County, Indiana, are own
ers OF a shepherd dog named Carlo. He
is now about ten years Old, and in all
the excursions made 10y the boys after
rabbits, squirrels and "such small DEER
Carlo was their constant companion, and
always enjoyed the hunt as well as any
OF the party. Three or four years ago
the boys procured setter, and in the
hunt for quail, ducks and prairie chick
ems Carlo was relegated to the rear-in
other words, was tied in the woodshed,
while his more accomplished fellow
canine occupied the post of honor at
the front. This nearly broke the old
fellows heart, and his wailing was SO
pitiful that on two or three occasions.
after the departure of the party, SYM
pathetic little girl of the household
severed Carlos leash, and he lost no
time in tracking and joining the hunters.
How it came about, and by what
subtle process of canine ratiocination the
old shepherd dog ever got the idea
through his hair, shall not attempt to
explain but certain it is that very soon
the boys noticed that Carlo was "work-
ing right alongside the setter without
an iota of training, and from more
observation of the performance of his
fellow he "picked up the whole bust
ness, and in a very short time so far sur
passed the blooded professional in
every trick of the trained dog that the
latter was speedily disposed of, and
Carlo now rules supreme in the affec-
tons OF the hunters on the Paxton farm.
He also carries the setter business into
all the ordinary routine of his canine
duties. "Sick him +" on a hog or COW,
and he will speedily take the trail, APP
proach very near the depredating animal,
and come to dead halt, with every
muscle rigid as iron. Being told to
"go," he goes, but not before. Old
hunters tell me that such case is un {.
precedented, and that will probably
achieve a questionable reputation by
teiiinS .le story. But it is true to the
letter.-COr. Cincinnati Enquirer.

that we should not dissemble and fatter

Food Authorizations.

While good men are working for the
advancement of the human race, men
tally, morally, and rehgiously, un-
scrupulous soundrels are seeking with
devilish ingenuity for new methods OF
poisoning our bodies with villainous
compounds which we unsuspectingly
swallow in our daily sustenance. In no
direction has the knowledge of evil
spread with greater rapidity than in
this.
In the long line of articles people use
for food, there is scarcely one which is
exempt from this infamous treatment.
If the ingredients used for the purpose
of adulteration were harmless, there
would be less objection to the practice,
but where as In most cases, they are
rank poisons that gradually sap the
citadel of life, the evil is so great as to
call fer prompt suppression.
A writer in the Medical AcadeDly OF
Sciences, speaking of the use of grape
sugar in making beer, says
GA large piece of this grape sugar,
taken from the hands of youth in this
city, who said his father manufactured
it, proved, upon analysis, to contain a
quantity of sulphuric acid, enough to
destroy some half-dozen let's of teeth.
AS this sugar is largely used in adulter-
ating cane sugar, candies, and numerous
other articles of luxury and necessity,
further comment is unnecessary"
This sugar has been in use only a
few years, but long enough to be tam
pered With. Our syrups are mostly
made now from glucose, which, if not
poisonous, produces an article vastly in
ferior to cane syrup. The same writer
says:
"Yeast powders are made and sold
here which contain soluble salts of
aluminium. The use of tin in sugar,
of baryta in numerous articles of food
to increase their weight are barely con-
cealed. The agreeable odor of caramel
in the neghborhood of the coffee mills
tells its own tale, and to explain the
wonderful cheapness of the beautiful
jellies now In such common use we
should have to go further than our ma
tutinal friend 'Rags-Bones,' and pursue
through the wonderful transformations
worked by modern chemistry the bones
from our garbage box, favored and coll
ored by the waste products from the gas
works, back again to our tables as cur
rant Jelly for our famous canvas backs
and red heads, and perhaps meet in our
sugar bowls our old shirts transformed
into very palatable sugar.
And these are only few examples of
this growing evil which has already as
sumed such gigantic proportions as to
be carried on In many cases with reck-
less impunity, having lost even the de-
cent veil of secrecy.
In China they punish adulterators of
food with death. Here they are rewarded
with riches and honor. Is it not time
that severe laws were made and enforced
against this monstrous iniquity ?-Du-
buque Times.

The Vesuyius Railway.

The railway up Vesuvius known as
the Funicolare is French undertaking.
1t was started from capital of f72, 900
and costs ga, 900 year to maintain. In
fifteen years the company expect to re-
alize the entire capital, and, as the lease
from the Government runs thirty years,
there will remain fifteen years for profits,
which are estimated al 10 per cent. after
the working expenses are taken out.
The company is insured in five French
houses at 4 francs per 1000. No En-
glish house was willing to insure it un-
der 10 francs. Everything about the
road is SAID to be well managed. At
the top there is restaurant, and a
good one.

A POLICE INNOVATION.


The Chinese Omlcer .. the Denver Rsree.
Concerning Denver's naturalized Chi
nese policeman, Louis johnson, alias
Kan Yum Yu, the fact that johnson IL
the first Mongolian who ever wore the
star Of Policeman in America, was
early developed in the conversation, and
is worthy of note. johnson is married,
and more important, his wife Is an
American, lady in all senses of the
term.
81 married her." said Johnson, Gin
Louisville, KY, in 1873. She was a
Miss Burt, and lived on Twenty-first
street. A good family. Oh, yes. First
class. She is of German descent, and
was q working girl, but I assure you in
yes p
keeps you pretty straight, doesn't
she p
"You bet. She objects to my going
among the Chinese, and makes me do
just as Americans do-iust the same"
How do you like that ?"
"Oh, / don't object. You see 1 con-
slider myself civilized, and my country
men are not. Many of them are bad
people. They are envious and under
handed. When they see that China
man has good thing, they try to get it
away from him by under bidding him."
"Are they immoral?'
Most of them are bad. So my wife
doesn't want me to associate with my
countrymen here"
"What do Cinnamon pay for the Chi
nese women!"
"They are bought first in China.
Young girls are preferred. They are
stolen ON the streets In Chinese cities
and sold to slave dealers there, who
again sell them to men who ship them
to America. They are bought there for
from $3.50 to $500 by wholesale, and re-
tailed in San Francisco for from $500 to
SSOO-young girls bring the best prices.
They then belong to the men who buy
them, who keep them till they get old
and then sell them to Cinnamon, with
whom they live as their wives. Their
owners collect all the money the women
receive, except what they steal, and feed
and clothe the women"
"How many Chinese women are there
in this country"
"Well, should say there are about
200. They are scattered pretty thick
ly over the Pacific coast"
"Why do no more decent China
women come to America?.'
"In China everything is different
from America. The women are kept
very close. Hence the women don't get
out much, and they don't come to this
country"
"Do all the Chinese smoke opium ?"
"Most of them"
"Do you?"
"Oh, I hit the pipe occasionally when
have a headache.
"Does your wife ?"
Not much"
"How many Chinese are there in Den
ver?"
"About 500"
johnson says it is his determination
to live the life of a respectable American
citizen. He is a member of the Meth
odist Church, while his wife belongs to
the Christian denomination. He has de-
voted most OF his life to the tea bus
mess. He was naturalized in Evans
vile.
Speaking of his courtship, he says he
met his wife through her brother, who
was friend of his. He courted her for
about year, and when they decided
that they each loved the other more than
they loved any one else they were mar
ried by Christian minister. Denver

Charles Lamb speaks somewhere OF q
friend of his who protested that there
was too much reading done and that
many people were too busy considering
the thoughts of others to think for them
selves. He even went SO far, Lamb
says, as to quit reading altogether,
much to the improvement OF his or
iginality." / have often thought of
this that is to say the blighting of ones
power of original thought by much read
ing. The omnivorous reader mistakenly
believes that he is only acquiring o
store of fact and theories. He does not
remember that his mind is sure to be
tinted by every particular thing which
he reads, and that by and by the natural
hue of it will be quite effaced. l have
often noticed with amusement and morti-
fication that everything 1 read had an
immediate effect on manner of express
sion both in writing and talking. 1t has
been very humiliating to me to see how
little individuality possess. humbly
own that am mentally like the chame-
leon, or whatever animal it is that takes
straightway the color of whatever it
eats. remember in the English litera-
ture class at school, have seen myself
skip lightly from Addison to Macauley,
from Macauley to Dickens, only to for
get him and find myself on Monday tied
down to the limited verbiage and POM
pous sentences of the preacher to whom
l had listened the day before. l don't
mean, of course, that my style could
ever i'll the remotest degree, approach in
excellence toward any of the writer's
whom L read. / only mean that every
mannerism that could catch and wrap
around my own thoughts, instantly
made my own. But once did actually
come near reproduction. Then had to
write criticism of Pepy's Diary, and
discovered only when my paper was
finished and copied, that it was written
in a very fair imitation of the worthy
Samuel's style.
OF course, if this always held true,
the path of the writer would be smooth,
indeed. He would only have to sit at
home and diligently read his Shakes
peare. to become a master Of literary
composition. But unfortunately it
toesn't. You have heard the stage mimic
at cheap shows initiate the pig; and
then ga pig under gate" 1t has al
ways seemed to me that my Addison,
for instance was an Addison "under a
gate"
After all, I am not sure that an orig
inal style in writing is tc be desired. L
am quite sure it should not be striven
for. How, indeed, can a man be sure
that he has got his own natural style?
How does he know that he is not cramp-
ing his own powers by affectation? Peo-
pie who try to walk differently from
everybody eiSa generally are lived out
sooner. A gnarled, warped, crank-sided
manner of expression may be perhaps
forgiven if it brings fine thought on
its shoulders, but it is none the less re-
pulsive.
Perhaps L am prejudiced, but I can
not get over a feeling that writer who
has thoughts worth expressing does an
undignifed thing when he brings them
out in eccentric garb. And the more
elevated that the subject which he treats
may be, the more should he strive for
clearness and simplicity.-Clarissa, in
Indianapolis Herald.

A FRENCH inventor has recently pat
ented method of improving India rub
Der and gutta-percha by the addition Of
a distillate of birch bark. BY distilling
the outer layers of the bark he obtains a
dense, black, gunnny matter which pos
sesses the properties of ordinary gutta-
percha with the additional quality of re-
sisting both the action of air and the
strongest corrosive acids. He claims also
that by adding small proportion of the
birch bark gum to gutta-percha or to In
dia rubber (one-twentieth part will suf-
fice). the durability of the rubber or the
gutta- percha will be greatly increased
the new mixture not being acted upon
by the air or by acids.
