BOUND TO SUCCEED.

What Energy and Perseverance Accom-
plished for Friendless Young Man.
Here is a true story of successful en-
ergy. A young drug clerk wrote from
the Far West to prominent pharma-
ciSt in New York, saying he would like
to come to the city and enter a store.
He came, but when the pharmacist
questioned him personally he found that
his visitor had never put up prescrip-
tons written in Latin; consequently he
could not get situation. He did not
know soul in the great city, not even
the gentleman to whom he had written
(until he met him at his STOREY. He
sought in vain for a place, and finally
found subordinate position, where he
was given five dollars a week and had
to board himself. He was q studious,
pushing, active young fellow, and soon
managed to attend the lectures at the
College of Pharmacy. The gentleman
with whom he had correspondent took
an interest in him, and invited him to
come to his store and assist in the man
ufacturing of fluid extracts. Once he
showed his employer what he could do
in that line. The man was surprised.
"Why can't you do something Of that
kind for me?" he asked. The clerk
said he could, and his salary (Which in
the meanwhile had been slightly in
creaseD was raised to very respectable
proportions, He worked for time in
this way, eventually receiving a salary
of fifty dollars a week; finally he
opened a laboratory of his own, and
to-day he employs forty or fifty
''hands." And yet when he arrived in
New York he did not have a dollar,
and was without influence and without
friends George j. Manson, IN ST.

affairs which meant delivering up
Falerfi itself.
But the cowardly knave had mistaken
! the Roman leader. ''Wicked, " cried
Camillus, ''as thou art, thou hast come
with thy villainous offering neither to
people nor commander like thyselt.
He continued, that they were not bSr-
| barians to carry on war in such shame
| full way, that there were claws of war
as well as of peace" and he said if he
conquered Falerii at all, he should do it
''by Roman arts, by bravery, labor and
| by arms.
Then he called to his lictors, who bore
! the bundles of rods, ordered the masters
clothes stripped Off his hands tied be-
hind him, and, giving each child rod,
| told them to whip him back to Falerii;
and he sent an escort of Roman sol
diers with them. 1t was the most igno-
minious punishment, and the boys
knew it.
1t had become known in Falerii that
the children were gone, and how they
went and where. The news spread from
house to house, and the mothers flew,
as if their feet had wings, along the
streets, filing the air with lamentations.
They wrung their hands, implored the
gods; Bring back our children!" and
then wildly called their names: 80 my
Proclus, o my boy 0 my child" 80
my Aruns!" 80 my lost son, my Mar
cus!' And those other mothers, whose
children were safe at home, broke in
with imprecations and words of pity, so
that, what with the walls and shriels,
the voices in rage. in terror, in anguish
ana despair, mighty cry went up.
| The mothers were already outside
| the gates, and would have rushed
| straight on to the Roman camp, for a
cohort of soldiers could not have kept
them back, when the children were
seen advancing, driving before them
the AFFECT master. Their shrill voices
could be heard now taunting, now
cheering, and presently the blare of
! trumpetS and huzzas of men, as the
Roman soldiers came on rending the
air with cheers.
" The Romans are upon us!n cried
the Falerians; guard the gate! Com
| pei the women to 90 back''
| But at that moment the children be-
gan to shout the name of Camillus,
9 our father, our deliverer, our bene-
factor!' and it became clear that this
was no hostile force, and soon the truth
was told.
The Falerians were overwhelmed
with gratitude, From every quarter
they assembled in the market-place;
they heard over and over, and never
tired of hearing, the story of the boys.
It was thing SO extraordinary that the
Senate was called together, and moth
ing was heard but praise of CamRlus.
Such magnanimity, such generosity,
such honor! They "cried up the
Roman faith, the justice of the com
mander;" and with one consent, as
soon as possible, they sent messengers
to him, and then to Rome, delivering
up Falerii-for they would be Roman
subjects or allies of Rome-saving:
''COnscript fathers, send men to receive
our arms, our hostages, our city with
IFS gates thrown open. "-AmandG B.

WHiSKY'S WORK.

Sad Experience of Woman Who, in
Denver's Early Days, Was a Ministering
Angel to the Distressed.
A few days ago there appeared at
Justice Stanchtield's Court woman
whose disgusting appearance at once
riveted the attention of every person
present. The woman was veritable
old bag, bloated, dirty, blear-eyed and
with voice which set every nerve with
in its sound on edge. Her tangled hair,
gathered up at the top of her head,
looked heap of filth, and the flies focked
to and swarEned around the mass.
She appeared as the legal protector
to little girl, bright, prematurely-
old child, who had come there to test
fy against man whom she claimed
had abused her. Strange TO say, al
though the old woman was there as the
child's guardian, she had been sum-
moned to testify for the mans side of
the case, but so besOtted was her condi-
ton that she did more injury to the de-
tense than heg absence could possibly
have done.
Every instinct of womanhood and all
sympathy for abused childhood seemed
to have been utterly blotted from
the woman's nature, and the only
lively interest which her befuddled in
tellect seemed capable of grasping that
day was that of luminosity toward the
little one, She cursed the child and
accused her OF lying, and once, forget
ting that she was IN a court of Justice,
cba nj, Il, 81
that she would strike the child if she
. had the power at that moment
The abandoned woman made such an
impression upon the mind of reporter
who was present that he spoke of her
to one or two people whom he met with
later in the day, one of whom happened
to be man who had lived in Denver
from its very early days.
As soon as the old Woman's name
was mentioned the old man frightened
up and remarked:
"Why, that woman used to be one
of the very handsomest and most
wealthy in the town in the early days.
Yes, indeed, and she was one of the
best, too. | tell you there's many a
man to-day who owes a good deal to
that old woman's kindness. Why, she
was an awful good-hearted woman. If
there was anybody around sick or in
trouble, nothing that she had was too
good for him or her. There was a
partner of mine who worked with me
in livery-stable, and he got taken
down with the mountain fever. He
slept there in the stable, had his blank
cts and that sort of thing, but it wasn't
very comfortable for "a sick man.
"This old woman heard of it, and
down she came to see him. She found
how he was and had him taken to a
room. She got lot of sheets and pill
low-cases and those things. Every
morning she came with "a clean lot OF
bed-clothes, and nice little delicacies
for him to eat. tell you such things
as cotton sheets and linen pillow-slips
were almost unknown in those DAYS.
But she had plenty. She took good
care of that fellow, and anybody else
who was sick. She was an awful good
hearted woman"
"What could have brought her down
to what she is now?" asked the old
mans listener.
Whisky" replied the old man, sadly
"She began to drink some then; she's
kept on, and now she's no earthly use. 81

Modest Inquiry.

When Huddle was in New York,
strolling about and seeing what was TO
be seen, he noticed by the side of the
door OF a large mansion on FoHrth Ave
nue., right under the bell, the words:
"PLEAsE RING THE BELL FOR JANIToR. ="
After rejecting for few minutes,
HURDLE walked up and gave the bell
such a pull that one might have sup
posed he was trying to extract it by the
roots. In few moments an angry
faced man tore open the door
'Are you the janitorP" asked Huddle.
Eyes, what do you wantP"
81 saw that notice, Please ring the
bell for janitor,' so l rang the bell for
you, and now l want to know why you
oan't ring the bell yourself. "-Teras

The Catacombs of Paris.

Among the sights of Paris of which
visitors will be deprived are the cata-
combs which have been closed for re-
pairs. These catacombs are the ancient
quarries from whence has come the
stone out of which Paris is built Since
the abandonment of the quarries they
have been transformed into a charnel
house, to which were transferred the
bones of twenty generations gathered
from the St. InnocentS and other par
ish graveyards of the capital, and to-
day the catacombs are the vastest sub
terranean metropolis in existence. Forty
years ago they were thrown open every
day to the public, but accidents became
so numerous that they were closed, and
hitherto we have only been allowed to
visit them twice month in large par
ties under careful police supervision.
That portion of the catacombs needing
repairs lies beneath the St. Anne Lunatic
Asylum the School of Mines and the
Prison of La Sante. It's ancient name
was the Quarries of Notre Dame DIES
Champs, and it was from here that was
extracted the stone used in the construc-
ton of the Louvre, Tuileries, Luxem-
bourg and most of the old family man
sions of the Faubourg ST. Germain.---

Gao a Man Sell His Head2

One of the questions which an English
man recently left his heirs to quarrel
over was the right to his head The de
ceased had sold it to the local physician
in consideration of his paying the fu-
neral expenses, and when the time came
for the delivery to be made he called for
it, but the heirs, who said they were
perfectly willing to pay the funeral ex-
penses themselves, demurred and re-
fused to carry out the agreement The
aid of the courts was then invoked and
at last accounts the matter was not de-
cided. In the meantime the value of
the head for purposes of dissection, if
that is what the physicians wanted it
for, is rapidly diminishing, and soon
will be of no account whatever The
English courts have at various times
held that there could be no property, in
the ordinary sense in which the term is
used, in a dead body, and the interest
ing question now comes up whether the
ownership, such as it is, is vested in the
person himself or his representatives.

ANARCHY IN AFRICA.
What Takes Place in Ashantee When tn
King Dies.


What Takes Place in AsiIsntee When the
King Dies.
We learn from African travellers of
the existence by custom, in some of the
West African States, of a general an
archy and tolerated hostility during the
interregnum between the death of a
king and the enthronement of his sue
cessor. When the King Of Ashantee
dies, his women destroy lis treasures,
and general unrestricted license, Fob
berry and murder prevail in the country;
and similar season of disorder ensaes
on the death of the chief in Whyhah,
Benin, and other States. Waltz re-
marks, in his ''Anthropology of Saw
ages" concerning the duration and ex-
tent of this license: Usage has limited
the anarchy to definite and short
time, and it is admitted by all that the
disorder in no way works real disso-
luton OF all social bonds, but is only to
be regarded as a sudden relaxation of
them which, Notwithstanding that all
sorts of outrage are let loose, is always
controlled by custom, and induces no
material damage TO society" In Asian
tee, the season OF unrestraint may last
for five days; in other States it may con-
tinue for considerable longer time, as
in Loange, where it prevails for several
months. In Dahomy the death of the
king is not made known for eighteen
months, while the heir, assisted by the
two highest officers reigns in his name
during this whole period, The eighteen
months seem to mark the time during
which legal anarchy formerly pre-
vailed, though it may now have been
done away with.-Popular Science
