Why Life Is u disappointment.

Life is u disappointment, chiefly be-
cause those who are starting in 1t over
estimate their own strength and under
rate that of their competitors Self
sufliciency and ignorance are the pio-
neers of defeated expectations. The
looker-on is not disappointed it is the
actor who is. Overweening self-confi-
dence refuses to see difficulties and
thus the preparation which might over
come them is neglected. The defeat is
crushing because it was deemed impos-
sible.
Presumption and arrogance have
burned the bridges and left no oppor-
tunity to gather the shattered forces by
retreat. There seems to be no help for
these blunders; each generation must
learn for itself. There is point where
teaching ends and experience begins.
1t is this which has set bounds to human
knowledge; no man can take up the
work of another Where it has been
left there it must remain. The father
can not give or bequeath the child his
experience as he can his property.
will, but there is limit to their powers;
and that very limit seems in some cases
to have been reached in one man.
Shakespeare and Bacon have no sue
cessors No man has been able to take
up their work where they left it. SO
far as mems efforts are concerned their
works are completed AS they left
them, so they remain. No man has yet
appeared who can equal what they have
done, much less improve upon it. AS
far as We know, they reached the limit
of mans power in the direction in
which they taught. The child must
mistake the road just as the parent
mistook it, and learn which is the
right road only when too old and weary
to walk in it. And, perhaps, it is well
that it is so. The wisdom of age and
the forms of youth cannot be Joined in
beauty.
Could the young know their true
strength, and foresee the difficulties
they have to encounter, they would not
fail by the way, but would faint in the
beginning Favorable circumstances
bear men on to fortune to greater ex-
tent than the successful are willing to
admit. In my own profession those
who have achieved success in the early
part of their career have fallen heir to
the practice of father or preceptor.
The inheritor of a practice is whole
generation ahead of him who is the
founder of one.

Beside those tabulated above, the
following-named diseases were reported
each by one regular observer
Smallpox, cardiac dropsy, pleurisy,
bilious fever, and coughs and colds.
For the week ending March 3, 1883,
the reports indicate that consumption
increased, and that intermittent fever
and typho- -malarial fever slightly in
creased in area of prevalence.
At the State Capitol the prevailing
winds, during the week ending March 3,
1888, were northwest; and, compared
with the preceding week, the tempera-
ture was higher, the absolute humid
ity slightly more, the day and night
ozone more, and the relative humidity
less.
Compared with the average for the
month of February in the preceding six
years, erysipelas and neuralgia were
more prevalent, and remittent fever,
pneumonia, diphtheria and whooping-
cough less prevalent during the month
of February, 1888.
For the month of February, 1888,
compared with the average of CORE
spending months in the five years,

Roman Freemen at Carnival Times.

In ancient Rome, during this season,
every one was free, and on equality
with each other. Slaves ate at the same
table with their masters, and dressed in
their masters clothes, and said just
what they liked to them, complaining
of their treatment, etc. Once a year
they were freel All this is still i'm
itated in the modern Roman carnival,
when every one is free-when uni
versal equality exists among the classes
"a beggar being allowed to sit in
Dukes carriage, if SO he will, no one
gainsaying or forbidding him. The
wearing of masters clothes is carried
down to us by the wearing of masks and
costumes not our own. And under the
mask liberty of speech is general.

Mr. John Gambee expresses his belief
that as much as one-fifth part Of the
common meat Of the country-beef, veal.
mutton, lamb and pork-comes from
animals which are considerably dis
eased. His Investigations go to show that
horned cattle affected with pleuro-pneu-
monia are, much oftener than not, slaugh-
tered on account of the disease, and
when slaughtered are commonly eaten,
even though the ng-disease has made
such progress as notably to taint the
carcass; that animals affected with foot
and-mouth disease are not often slaugh-
tered on account of it. but, if slaughter
ed, are uniformly eaten; that the pres
ence of parasites in the flesh of an ami
nal never influences the owner against
selling it for food; that carcasses too
obviously ill-conditioned for exposure
in the butchers shop are abundantly
sent to the sausage-maker, or some
times picked and dried; that some
sausage makers will utilize even the
most diseased organs which can be fur
nished to them. Fortunately the ap-
pearance of good fresh meat is known
to most people. 1t should be firm and
elastic when touched, scarcely moisten-
ing the finger; it should have mar
bled appearance from the ramifications
of little layers of fat among the mus
cles, and no odor beyond that which
characterizes fresh meat. When allow
ed to stand for some time the surface
becomes dry. Bad meat, on the other
hand, is wet and sodden, and continues
so; it has, moreover, q sickly odor.
When the flesh has a deep purple tint,
it is probable that the animal has not
been slaughtered, or else that it has
suffered from some fever. We may lay
it down in theory, at all events, that it
is only the meat of healthy animals that
have been slaughtered which is fit for
the food of man, and yet there can be
no doubt that the meat obtained from
sickly and even diseased animals has
sometimes been eaten with impunity.
1t is beyond question that the eating of
meat of this description has often been
followed by poisonous symptoms, but it
is equally certain that these are 10y no
means the invariable result. This APP
parent anomaly has given rise to much
controversy, and a solution of it is only
to be arrived at by having regard to the
exact nature of the disease and the
stage TO which it has pro9ressed.-Good

NEAR New York Siberian blood
hound, a savage, blood-thirsty beast
possessing the strength of lion, tore
his dog-house down and pulled up the
stakes TO which his chain was attached.
He Mt once killed game dog, mangling
him in frightful manner. Then he
went toward the barn where there were
two men in a sleigh. They ran into the
barn and climbed into a loft. The dogs
attention was diverted by passing cur,
and while he was killing the unlucky
beast the men sprang into their sleigh
and made speed. The bloodhound
overlook them and made desperate at
tempt to get into the sleigh. They
fought him with club and whip and
shook "a buffalo robe in his face. He
tore the robe into shreds and was IN a
fair way to coming off victorious when
neighboring dog ran into the road to
ascertain what was going on. The
ood-hound turned to him, and in a
moment the snow was melting under the
warm blood Of the reckless animal. The
bloodhound had just begun mangling
the carcass when the owner of the de-
ceased cur came in o view and fired six
shots at long range from revolver at
the ferocious beast. None of them took
effect. The man then procured a
double-barreled shotgun and let fly
from both barrels, loaded with buck
shot, killing the bloodhound almost
instantly.

The term "polled cattle Is applied
to those breeds of cattle which are
hornless. 1t is, however, among the
cattle breeders of to-day more particu-
larly applied to the Galloway and the
Angus, or Aberdeen breeds. The Gal
loways, which take their name from n
locality in Scotland where they have
been raised for centuries, were not as
signed to separate classes until 1867.
They were first brought into the United
States by the Michigan State Agricult-
ural Society in 1865, and several herds
are now held in that State, raised from
this stock. In 1870 they were intro
duced into Wisconsin, and year later
Robert Culver, of Boulder county,
Col, brought pair into that State
from Canada, full-blooded descendants
of imported cattle of the purest blood.
There has been constant advance in the
price of these cattle since their introduc-
ton, until at the breeders sales in 1882
they excelled all others, the Herefords
and Short Horns not excepted.

An aggravated case of faithless lover
is reported from Berlin. An inhabit-
ant of that city was betrothed to a jew
ish heiress dwelling in the same town.
Marriage contracts are, it seems, drawn
up long beforehand over there, and
the one between this couple contained
the stipulation that, should any impedi-
ment arise to prevent the marriage, the
sum of 80, 600 marks should be forfeited
to the injured party. The lady. wishing
to give her husband an agreeable sur
prise, secretly joined the Lutheran
church, to which persuasion he be-
longed. The man, having meantime
found richer heiress who was willing
to marry him, not only made his fan
GEES change of religion an excuse for re-
fusing to marry her, but has actually
sued her for the 10000 marks, and has
recovered them in court of law.

SOME of the practical results OF NJ
Pasteur's protective system OF inocuia-
tion of animals have been furnished the
public. Last year $4,000 sheep were
yaccinated in the Department Eure-et-
Loire, and only 51S have died of the
disease known as "charbon, >" or O.O5
per cent, whereas the mean annual
loss from the disease for the ten preced-
ing wears was 9.O1 per cent. OF bovine
animals 1900 were vaccinated, and the
mortality has fallen from 7.o3 to O24
per cent A special experiment made
with sheep gave this result: 2,3Oo were
vaccinated and ,659 were not; all were
cared for in the same maner and
freely mixed with each other. OF the
vaccinated sheep only eight died, while
of the unvaccinated ones eighty-three
died.

NEW JERSEY justice is doubtless dis
couraging to the talented bank embez-
zlers produced 10y that State. New
Jersey has been famous for years for
the number of it's bank defalcations and
the extraordinary skill of its bank Off
cials in despoiling the institutions over
which they presided. These gorgeous
thieves displayed an ingenuity which
has seldom been equaled, and invaria-
bly, got away with every penny the
bank contained. If they had been
equally skillful in escaping arrest, Eu-
rope would be pretty thickly settled
with New Jersey bank embezzlers
But owing to the deliberation of their
movements after gobbling the money,
together with the superior vigilance of
New Jersey policemen, they have al
ways been apprehended. Once in the
clutches of the law, Jersey justice has
been enforced with practical swiftness
and certainty. This has been the case
with the President, cashier and book
keeper of the defunct City Bank of Jer-
sey City, who have been sentenced to
ten, six and four years, respectively, in
the State penitentiary. Unfortunately,
the bank officials of New Jersey have
more imitators than its salutary Justice.

The late Bishop Wilberforce, of En-
gland, was the most eloquent preacher
on the bench of bishops, the most ener-
getic worker in his diocese, and the
most accomplished and witty leader in
society. Many who were jealous of his
great gifts and influence, and others
who disliked his High Church princi-
pies, used to accuse him of insincerity
and readiness to sacrifice convictions
for social success. He acquired the un-
dignified and suggestive nickname Of
"Soapy Sam" But he never showed
greater presence of mind, or more ready
wit, than in interpreting this nickname
under trying circumstances. He was in
q large and fashionable company, where
q bright girl attracted his attention, and
excited his rare power for fascinating
children. Her confidence was COM
pletely won, and she ventured to ask
"Will you answer me question 2"
Certainly" he answered.
"Will you, truly?" she repeated.
"Truly!"
BY this time the attention of the
whole company was arrested, and they
listened, half in amusement and half in
CONSERVATION, to the question:
"Why do people call you 'Soapy
Sam 2"
But the bishops face did not color,
nor his voice falter. The answer came
prompt and gentle, IL suppose it must
be because when l happen to get into
dirty water l always come out clean"
The company could not refrain from q
general laugh, in which the bishop
heartily joined. YOUTHS Communion.
