RlLL NYE TALKS TO YOUNG MEN.

Young man, what arc YOU living
fors Have YOU an object dear 10
you as lite, and without the attain
ment of which you feel that your He
would have been WIDE shoreless
waste, peOplcd by the sceptres oil
dead ambition? You can take your
che ce in the great battle OF lie,
whether you bristlc up and win /.
deathless name, or be satisfied with
scabs and mediocrity. Many of those
who now stand at the head Of the ma
t,on as statesmen and lOgicians were
once unknown, unhonored and un-
sung. Now they saw the air OF the
the halls of Congress, and their names
are plastered on the temple OF
fame.
You can win some laurels too, II
you brace up and secure them when
they are ripe Live temperately on
80 a month. That's the way We got
our start. Get some true, noble-mlnd-
ed young lady Of your acquaintance
TO assist you. Tell her OF your trou-
bles and she will tell you what to do.
She will gladly advise you. men
you can marry'her and she will advise
you some more. You needn't be out
of advice at all unless you want to.
She, too, will tell you when you
have made a mistake She will come
TO you frankly and acknowledge that
you have made jackass of your
self.
As she gets more acquainted with
you she will be more candid with
you, and in her unstudicd. girllsh
way. she will point out errors and
gradually convince you with an old
chair leg and other arguments, that
you were wrong. and your past life
will come up before you like a pano'
rama, and you will tell her SO, and
she will let you up again. Life is in
deed mighty struggle. 1t is bust
ness. We can't all be editors and
lounge around all the time, and wear
good clothes. and have our names in
tho papers, and draw princely sal
aries. Some one must do the work
and drudgery Of life, or it won't be
done.

Henry Miller. a brother Of Joaquin

who bore him beautiful son.

told the 'boys" he had struck it
rich," and had at that time nugget
at his house that weighed II pounds.
II any of them doubted his word,
they could cali at his house at any
time and be convinced.
In q few minutes delegation OF
miners filed out OF the saloon and
made a straight line for Mr. Miller's
home.
They were very courteously receiv-
ed by Mrs Miller, who listened to the
story of their errand, and with a
twinkle ia her eyes. concluded to
keep in the joke
The speaker Of the party began:
''They tell us, Mrs. Miller. that
your husband has struck it rich"
Indeed he has," replied Mrs. Mil
Ter.
Has he pre-empted his claim"
II think he certainly has"
"What price does he ask for his
miner"
II really don't think he would take
. cold million for it,"
''Let us see II, will youe"
Certainly" said Mrs. Miller. as
she advanced to the cradle and lifted
out 4 handsome l2-pound boy, and
exhibited 1t to the astonished gaze of
the goOd.hearted but puzzled miners,
They took the joke very good-natur-
edly, and laughing heartily left the
house without a very ceremonious
leave-taking. Mackay, the million
are, was one of the duped miners.

Gen. Lew Wallace says that he was
converted to Christianity by Col, Bob
lngersoll He was inclined 10 be
skeptical as to the divinity of Christ
lngersoll presented his infidel views
Wallace was much impressed, but
finally remarked that he was not pre-.
pared to agree with lngersoll on Ger.
tain extreme propositions. lngersoll
thereupon urged Wallace TO give the
matter careful study, expressing his
confidence that he would, after SO
doing, fully acquiesce in the Iuger-
1oll view. For six years he thought,
studied and searched. At the end Of
that time he said: THE result is the
Nhsolute conviction that Jesus of Naz

Christ. but that he Is also my Christ,

The greatest heat of the air in the
sun probably never exceeds las degrees,
nor the greatest cold sixty-five degrees
below zero. About 100 degrees above
and forty degrees below zero are the
extremes for the United States, and
very unusual.
a curious fact has been observed by
Professors Ayrton and Perry. Soft iron.
when heated between red and white
heat ceases to be attracted by mag
net. When soft iron is bent between
red and white hot iron it ceases to be
attracted by a magnet.
Most animals drink by suction, as
the OK; and few by tapping, as the
dog; the elephant pumps the water up
with its trunk and then pours it into
its throat. Birds, excepting doves,
fill the beak, and then, raising the.
head, allow the water to run down.
According to the Chemicher Zejtung,
M. Muller has evaporated Skinned
milk in Facuum, which can, he
thinks, be preserved for many months
in any climate or atmosphere. There
is one serious objection to the article
in the minds of most people-the milk
is skinned.
The composition of elephants milk,
according to the analysis of DR..
Quesneville, in the Moniter Scien-
ttfgue, is similar to that of cream, but
its consistency is different. Its odor
and taste are very agreeable, and the
taste is superior to that of most other
kinds of milk. 1t is about equal to
cows milk in quality.
Four thousand pounds of apples,
when reduced to ashes, will weigh
about 100 pounds, which contain
thirteen pounds of potash, twenty-five
pounds of soda, and a little lime, iron

wood of an apple tree contains but
nineteen per cent. of potash against
thirty-eight per cent. in the fruit, and
only a trace of soda against twenty
five in the fruit. On the other hand,
while the fruit contains but five per
cent. of lime the ash of the wood
shows sixty-fve per cent. The fruit
also demands fifteen per cent. OF

Robinson Crusoe,s Island To-Day.

The sun was bathing the beautiful
island with flood of golden light as
we neared its picturesque harbor. In
little boats we went ashore, and landed
in the primitive manner of running
the boat aground and pulling the boat
up ON the shore. 1t was difficult to
realize that we were, indeed, on this
historical, mysterious island that imag-
ination had pictured from childhood's
early hours in SO many fanciful forms.
The books tell you that it was on this
lovely island that, in 1904, the cele-
brated English navigator, Dampier,
landed his coxswain, Alexander Sell
kirk, with whom he had quarreled, and
left him alone on this uninhabited spot
with small quantity of provisions
and tools. Here he lived for years.
till he was picked up by apa3sing ship,
and brought back to Europe. 1t was
from the notes he made during his soil
tary residence that Daniel Defoe COM
posed his incompatible work of " Robin
son Crusoe." No book, doubtless, ever
held childish interest with greater fas-
cination than that which describes his
wanderings on this mysterious and en-
chanted island That which had al
ways seemed but a dreamy romance
was now before you. The scenes where
all the wild and wondrous experiences
were described are just at hand, and
you wander on, as it were, but just
aroused from a fanciful dream. Per-
chance it was on this..sandy beach along
which you wander that Crusoe first
discovered the footprints of his good
man Friday.
The island is about seven Spanish
leagues in circumference, or tritie
over twenty English miles II belongs
I to Chill, and for number of years the
government used it as place for trans
porting convicts, till one night the
prisoners arose in their power, killed
their keepers, and taking the only boats
on the island sailed away and were
never heard of more. OF late years
the government has leased the island
to one man, who pays something like
$1,000 year for its use. This man
has small colony of workmen whom
he employs in cutting timber, drying
the fish and goat skins and sending
them every few months to the markets
