Had a Weak Point.

One of those good, old-fashioned faith
ers-born and reared on farm, but
willing to see his children live an easier
life, came down to york the other day
TO see about getting his son Moses into a
bank. He went to friend, and the
friend sent him to the cashier, and the
cashier said:
''Is your son quick at iigures?"
"Tolerably quick"
SIS he ambitious?"
Eyes; he wants to get on"
sis he hard worker?"
"Well, Moses kin NOW three acres OF
grass per day."
"Why does he prefer bank to a
storepn
II swan! never asked him why, but
guess it's because he thinks there's q
better chance to climb up. Moses is
right on the climb.
''Hc is perfectly honest, of courseP"
"Well, now. that's the only weak
point Moses has got, and was going to
say TO you if you took him in that if
you keep wire fence between Moses
and any money lying around loose, and
if you have q rule agin hoss-trading,
and if you don't allow shaking dice or
card-playin, and if he will keep sober,
Moses will make one of the most tremen-
dous bankers this country ever saw!''--

ed, ''it is pretty place but rather too
quiet; it soon becomes monotonous."
This had been my mental comment

OF the house. "You have entire free

OF course, certain privileges; but it is
not like ones own home." she answer
ed. Imagine my astonishment in the
course of our conversation, to learn
that she was Miss Tyler, maiden niece
of President Tyler. She told me much
of her family history. Abiding to her
destitute circumstances and her resi-
dences in the "home," she said: eff
years ago l had been told that should
end my life in charitable institution l
would have laughed at the idea as alb
surd." She has sad face, and, as the
French say, tears in her voice. She is
lady of medium height, scarcely past
middle age, has BLUSH gray eyes, rather
prominent features, and light brown
hair. Much of her early life was spent
at the white house. What a change
from its gayety and fashion to her pres
ent abode!

Negligent Railway Officials.

Relatives of the late Thos. Hoyne, of
Chicago, who was killed in an accident
on the Rome, Ogdensburg road, give a
deplorable recital of the condition of af-
fairs in and about the wreck, and up
braid severely the alleged neglect of the
railway officials. A son of Mr.. Hoyne
relates that the trainmen refused to al
low the coffin to be opened to guard
against the possibility of mistaken iden-
tity. He was unable by any process to
reach the scene of the disaster
In making application to the railway
authorities q daughter Of Mr.. Hoyne re-
lates that no attention was paid to the
dead after The accident, and that the
bodies were lying on the side of the
road exposed to the sun fourteen hours
after the accident
1t is further declared that parties were
opening valises and searching the bod
les of the dead while employees of the
road were engaged in removing the
debris. Mr.. Hoyne had large sum OF
money with HIM, but his relatiees state
that his watch and all other valuables
arc missing, though a portion of them
may be in the custody of the coroner.

Where sthe Rich Come From.

ALI except very few of the rich men
of the present have made their money
since 1860. Before that time the major
ity of them were poor, and their pros
poets of winning fortunes were not
greater then than those of thousands to-
day.
The ranks of wealth are all the time
recruited from poverty. A new class of
rich men will come up during the next
quarter of n century, and 1t will be COM
posed chiefly, if not almost entirely, of
those who arc now struggling to make
both ends meet. In every department
of trade and manufacture vigorous and
enterprising young men are forging
ahead, not because they have capital in
money, but because they have capital in
brains and energy. A man with new
idea of practical value, and who knows
how to use 1t, never had better chance
than he has now. --NeU York Sun.

LOUISvILLE'S GALA DAY.

The city was astir early and every
point of vantage on the route of the
presidential party to the industrial ex-
position was crowded. The floral and
bunting decorations were magnificent.
The procession formed ut II O'Clock,
headed by platoon of police. Then
came the Louisville Legion, escorting a
four horse barouche, containing the
President and Secretaries Lincoln and
Folger, followed by carriages contain
ing members in the various committees
and other prominent citizens. The

Something About Rat Portage.

Rat Portage, which has been brought
into prominence of late by the Manito-
ba-Ontario conflict of jurisdiction, is
near the western boundary of Ontario
as settled by the late arbitration, is
about four hours journey by rail from
Winnipeg, and about $50 miles west
from Thunder Bay. The town occupies
rocky point, washed on the west side
by the waters of Winnipeg river and on
the south by those of the Lake of the
Woods. 1t Is at the outlet OF the lake.
To the cast of the now inhabited part
of the town rises high ridge, and be-
You'd that again extends broken country
consisting of alternate belts of rock and
deep morass. The only way to reach
Rat Portage is by water via the Lake
of the Woods or by the Canada Pacific
railway. That road enters the town
through a deep cutting through almost
solid rock.
Though but three years old the town
has settled population of /, 200, and a
floating population of probably 800.
Its growth Is due to the development
of the lumber and mining interests on
Lake of the Woods aud Winnipeg river
There are three saw-mills of consider
able capacity, two good hotels, several
stores, superabundance of saloons,
together with lawyers, doctors and
druggists. The Hudson Bay company
owns nice property there, as it does
at all eligible points in the northwest.
The Portage was laid out after the man.
ner of country towns, with a main
street on which the principal buildings
are erected; but the thoroughfares have
been left almost in their natural condi-
ton. Valuable timber, principally pine,
is found all along the shores of Lake
of the Woods. Rainy river, and other
connecting waters, and the outlet for
the supply Is this growing town, where
it is cut into lumber and shipped by
rail to Winnipeg. The gold mining
industry has assumed prominence dur
ing the past two years, but actual min
irg operations are at present light. In
the future the town is expected to be
frequented as summer resort. In
deed, many visitors of this class were
expected during the present season,
and the hotels were built with that
view. The unsettled condition of af-
fairs has, however. kept away all ex-
cept business men.

A FRIGHTFUL CALAMITY.
Nearly 1000 Lives Lost, and Three Towns
DESTROYED.

The island of Ischia, few miles
from Naples has been almost entirely
destroyed by an earthquake, and fully
$500 people were killed. The shook
came without warning, and at a time
when the towns of Casamiccoiola, Lacco
and FOr.io were filled with guests. The
isiard is watering place resort, and
many wealthy Roman families were
there. The theatres and places of
amusement were in full blast, when
suddenly with deafening sound the
ground opened, water gushed out in
torrents, and the air was filled with
dust and smoke. Lights were over
turned, and buildings set on fire. Cries
of pain and horror were heard on every
side. The road between the towns OF
Ischia and Casamicciola Is impossible
from debris and holes, and the project
of Naples telegraphs that the Casamic-
cola has ceased to exist, but il is sur.
in the cellars. The shock lasted fifteer
minutes. In Lacco only five out of l..
600 people escaped, and only five house:
were left standing. Five thousand PEG
pie are now said to have been killed a
Casamicciola. The dead and dying
were taken to Naples, and the hospitals
dead houses and sheds there are full o.
victims. Sappers rescued as fast as pos
siblo the partially buried unfortunate.
1.-THE scene of the appalling calamity
and thousands of relatives and friends
did all in their power for the relief o
the injured, most of whom were piteous
ly crying for help.
LATER-Prof. Palmieri, director o
the Meteorological Observatory at Mt
Vesuvius, states that the disaster on tn,
island of lschia was not due to al
earthquake, but to the subsidenc,
of the ground, 1t Is stated that be

Use Borax in Washing.

In employing common, cheap, but
clean soap, / often put in less than a
level teaspoonful of powdered borax into
the bottom of my tub, pouring hot wa
ter on it, and then cooling to the proper
degree. The borax makes the washing
more easy, and is good for the hands,
healing them when chapped, and leay-
ing them in good condition after wash
ing. Whatever good soap you use, il is
not necessary to boil the clothes, but
this process helps in most cases, espec-
tally If the clothes are well stirred up in
the boiler. 1t is not best to leave them
actually boiling many minutes, as this
will turn them yellow. The whole wash
ing may be done without warm water,
If desired, but more or stronger soap
must be used, and the labor is harder.
