Do We ever stop to consider
How little kind word may COST
And II once the hasty word spoken
One chance in our life we have lost
Do we stop ever to consider
All the sorrow one little word
May bring to the heart that is yearning
For the tones of love seldom heard2
Do we ever stop to consider
How much sunshine is thrown away
When We close fast the doors where kind

Knocks anew to come in each day?
Do we ever stop to consider
When everything seems to go wrong

Never Joke IL Won Would be Great.
washington Critic


When The Toledo Telegram says
that ''if S. S. Cox had never made
joke he might be the next speaker of
the house," it is only putting in sem
tentious form which is heard in many
forms all about Washington every hour
nowadays. Why is it that man who
adds to great power and clearness in
the discussion of great questions the
ability to amuse as he goes along should
be so moderated by the public? It is a
singular fact, but fact it is, and always
has been. Tom Corwin was probably
the greatest man Ohio ever produced,
but because he could amuse as well as
instruct he was always sneered at by
the owls of politics as s'ioker." It
took two elections and martyrs grave
to give Abraham Lincoln any other
reputation than that of joker and story
teller
When Oliver p. Morton was starting
in 1856 upon that wonderful career that
made him one of the most conspicuous
figures of the war period, he COM
menced by seeking to enliven that ex-
traordinary logical eloquenco (if such o
term is admissible) possessed by him in
such great degree by anecdote and WITT
ticism. Hell had happy turn that way.
At Terre Haute, after brilliant effort
that commended itself to his followers,
venerable and famous politician took
the young orator to task:
Young man, if you want to be re-
garded as great man, great leader,
never tell story, never utter a joke;
look solemn and pound the table"

Diamonds for Drills.
New York Sun.

Diamonds are comparatively cheap
nowadays" rock-driIl manufacturer
said, land the diamond-drills do not
cost as much as they did,"
"Are genuine diamonds used in these
drills, or are they called diamond drills
because the steel has an extremely hard
temper2" the reporter asked
Diamonds are used in the drills.
They are chiefly one and two carat
stones. At present they cost about $40
a carat. They are in the rough. The
diamond set-bit is hollow. It is a steel
thimble, having three rows of diamonds
imbedded in it, so that the edges of
those in one row project from its face,
while the edges of those in the other
two rows project from the outer and
inner periphery respectively. The
diamonds of the first mentioned row
cut the path of the drill in it's forward
progress, while those on the outer and
inner periphery of the tool enlarge the
cavity"
''How are the diamonds set in the
bit?"
''The bit is of soft steel, in which
holes are drilled. After the diamonds
are fitted the metal is hammered against
them SO that they remain firm"
''Do the diamonds wear out ?"
"Their edges, which come in contact
with the rock, get little smooth, and
then they are taken out and reset, so
that fresh edge is presented"
'Have all the hollow drills three
rows of diamonds?"
"No Some have only one row, but
these are not very large. The diamonds
stand out from the steel setting, SC
that the steel does not come in contact
with the rock
How are the diamond drills
worked?"
"By rapid rotation, varying any.
where from 400 to 1000 revolutions
a minute. There are different machines
used for different kinds of drilling.

How Certain Animals Change Color
New York Sum-

''Is the change a physiological
sccret?"
Not ut all. We have welI-defined
ideas concerning it. In the first place,
We know that many animals change
their color at moments notice, espec-
tally fishes and reptiles. Among the
nus and dolphin are the most remarks
BILE. In many this change is evidently
made at the option of the fish. This is
also true of the reptiles, and now for
the explanation. Here is micro
scopical section of q frogs skin. You
see it consists of tgo distinct portions,
the epidermis and the cults. The for
mer is made up of cells, while the latter
contains nerves, fibres, and cav
tiles for cell elements. These
cells are filled with pigment or
coloring matter. and are known as
chromatophoses, and to their contrac-
ton and expansion is due the coloring
Of various animals, for oil, from man
down, have them, differing in color in
different individuals and in various
parts of the body. Different colors or
degrees of intensity seem to cause
contraction or expansion of the cells.
Thus, in the gobins, the pigment cells,
that are yellow when distended, as
sumo an orange-colored hue when con-
tracted, and the orange or red cells
when shrunk become brown or black,
as the case may be. Now, when a fish
that habitually lives on white bottom
passes on to black one the change is
conveyed by the eye to the brain, and
telegraphed, SO to speak, to the pigment
cells by way of what are called the
sympathetic nerves, and the change is
produced.
"How do we know this? By watching
blind fish pass from one colored
ground to another. In such case
there is no change at all. The eye is
the medium, yet there is probably no
intelligent appreciation on the part of
the animal that the change has been
made. The experiments with the SYM
pathetic nerves are very remarkable.
By cutting one fish has been shown
spotted on one side and striped on the
other, and, in fact, the coloring is at the
will of the skilled anatomist. The ano-
lis, our common southern lizard, that
seems to take the place of the chame-
leon, is the most wonderful in its power
of changing color, adapting itself to q
variety of hues."

A Family supper Among the Bohe-
mlans.
I.1Nelsen in st. Paul Pioneer Press


These supper tables are so unlike
anything ever found in America that
description may be of interest. At s
o'clock the notes of French horn call
the family together to a table spread
under the lindens of the park. Down
from the woodland walks on the Maraus-
skau, or from the rose gardens and
gooseberry bushes. (Such gooseberries
are never found in other lands great
pulpy, jelly-flled, oval bulbs, the size
of q pigeons egg.) Well, from these
corners the guests emerge, and we take
our places under the lindens. We sit
where we please, waiting, of course,
until our hostess has taken her place.
There is nothing on the table but the
glass-shaded candles, a silver basket of
schwarzesbrod (very brown bread salt
cellars and our plates
At sign from the hostess supper is
placed on the table by the servants, who
Immediately withdraw, with the excep-
ton of the Oldest family servant, a sort
of confidential steward who remains to
serve wine and beer. The menu is very
simple, roasted meats or fowls, with
French salads, or game with comtope,
weak, diluted form of preserves, very
: little sugar, and vast amount of water.
The best of the repast is Pilsener beer
and the baron's stories, and the fun of
feeding the dogs, who go wagging
their tails round the table begging for
bones. They will lap up saucer OF
beer and evidently relish it, Judging
from the increased wag of their tails.
When all have finished eating, beer and
bread are placed on the table, the
former in huge earthenware pitchers,
the latter in square Chunks" Then
the gentlemen light their pipes, and the
ladies' their cigarettes, and the perfume
of the woodlands is lost in Turkish La
takia. Nine o'clock is the hour for re-
firing. Occasionally the young people
steal away from the group at the sup
portable, and wander off to the hill of
silence, "Marausska," where tho full
moon shines through branches of hem
lock and weeping birch. Such nights
as we have had since our coming to
these northern hills repay us for all the
losses we sustained during the summer

/ MORAL LESSON FROM !
STRAY DOC.

sGath'sn Newport letter in The Enquirer
As we were moving on from lawn to
lawn, having glorious view of the sea,
and seeing nobody whatever around
these houses, large Irish setter, as /
supposed, came bounding toward us as
If to resent the intrusion. We paid no
attention to him and he continued to
follow us from place to place until he
had gone about mile from where we
originally saw him. He was valuable
dog and we wondered what his accom-
panying us meant. suggested that
perhaps the dog was trained to watch
trespassers and make them keep to the
regular path. We finally left the sea
cliffs and went up lane. Then the
dog disappeared back as he came and I
said to my friends: Now you see he
had been trained like shepherds dog
to accompany us and keep us In order"
But IN moment or two back came
the dog, and he went along this lane
with us nearly milotiu we came to
new house they were building where
there was one of the most venomous
looking bulldogs [ ever saw, o sort of
hyena-striped fellow of tan and yellow.
This dog never growled, but walked
right out of the gate upon the beauti-
full setter, which had the soul of
woman, and Immediately covered back
to our feet; then the big bulldog came
right upon us and looked into our
faces. He designed to make an attack
on the setter and the setter had re-
sorted to us for shelter, and we were
poor shelter in the face of such dog,
and the dog looked at us like an old
prize-fghter as if meditating whether he
had better whip us all or accept our
word for it that the other dog might
pass.
We went on, and so the stray dog
that might have been worth hundred
dollars, or as much as horse, followed
us along Bellevue avenue and finally
came into our hotel. We looked at
each other and then at the dog, and the
truth flashed upon us: That dog had
been so petrifed, SO worried and re-
duced by the average human manners
at Newport that perceiving strangers
from the outer world with possibly some
touch of nature in them he had come to
us to find reasonable master.

How Sheridan Was Once Caught.
Inter Ocean "Curbstone Crayons. ~


Leaving the rooms where Gen. Sher-
idan had been the recipient of SO many
honors the other night, an old resident
of Chicago, said, as we reached the
sidewalk: "Iwish you would ask Sheri-
dan some time if he remembers one of
the earliest informal receptions ever
rendered him. Soon after Grant and
Sherman had made their trips through
the country about the close of the war,
Sheridan dropped down on certain
state capital on business. He stopped
over one train and started up street
without any mark of his rank about his
unpretentious military dress. Some
one recognized him, and Instantly o
crowd gathered on the street. Sheri-
dan made an attempt to dodge, and q
cheer increased the crowd to hundreds.
He then attempted to ignore the whole
business, and walked hurriedly toward
the state house.
Hundreds of people were at the
doors as soon as he was, and they
scampered through the corridors in
advance of him and around him in a
tumult Of excitement. Sheridan burst
into the governors Office with: What
does this mean, anyhow? 1T means,
said the governor, that the people OF
this city do not mean to be cheated out
of their opportunity to testify their ap-
probation of Gen. Sheridans brilliant
services And before Sheridan real
lied what was being done the suite of
rooms had been thrown open, and men,
women and children were moving in
orderly column, in at one side and out
at the other, all eager to shake hands
with the dashing general"

a HINT IN HAIR FROM THE
JAPANESE.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Fall Mall Gazette.
The following details with regard to
the hair dressing of Japanese ladies
may be of interest in these days, and
may help to elucidate much of the mys-
terry which always surrounds the mean
ing of Japanese picture. In Japan
girl at the age of wears her hair
tied up in red scarf bound around the
back of her head; the forehead is left
bare, with the exception of couple Of
locks, one on each side. When she is
of marriageable age she combs her
hair forward, and makes it up into the
shape of fan or butterfly, and at the
same time decorates it with silver cord
and balls of varied colors. This means
everything, and is fully understood by
the young men of Japan. A widow
who wishes for second husband puts
q tortoise shell pin horizontally at the
back of her head and twists her hair
around it, while an inconsolable widow
cuts her hair short and goes in for no
adornment of any sort. These last are
very rare. By these simple means
much confusion is avoided. A glance
around ball room sufices to tell the
age and status of every lady in the
place, and great deal might be said
for the introduction of such custom
into this country

THE AMERICAN WORKINGMAN,S
SPIRIT

The eight Russian women who re-
Gently asked New York judge to send
them back to their native land, because
they did not have to work as hard there
as in America, called attention to fact
that hundreds of thousands of other
foreigners have discovered, often to
their disgust. Artists complain that
the workingman of American birth is
not as picturesque as his European
brother. How can he be, when he al
ways works as if in great hurry to
get through? The American has no
equal as worker, but not because he
loves toll or cannot restrain himself.
The secret of his energy is that he
has an object beyond the mere feeding
and clothing of his family; he wants to
better his condition. He knows that
the majority of rich or prosperous men
in this country to-day were once poor
workingmen, and he believes that what
man has done man can do. "Once q
laborer always leborer" is the Euro
pean rule, and men naturally grow list
less under it; but the American laborer
who never expects to occupy q higher
position at work and in society is almost
rare enough to be curiosity. And the
American spirit is. quickly caught by
oil immigrants of the better sort, no
matter how humble have been their

one made recently by the ghost of Mo-

this event for date of 40 years hence.

allowances on this subject of Miller,
this prediction of the spirit of Mo-
hammed will be bosh; yet some Mo-
hammedans are excited about it. A

runners of the end; and if Egypt will
furnish the plague, America can easily
produce the cyclone.

THE LUMBER OF TIE PACIFIC.

The LUMBER OF THE PACIFIC.
Cor. Inter Ocean
The lumber of the Pacific coast will
duplicate hundred times the wealth
of precious metals its mines have pro-
duced. It's difficult by simple descrip-
tion to give an idea of the extent and
character of these forests. On the
Columbia and Snake rivers We have
seen good deal of yellow pine, but the
timber of Oregon and Washington is
chiefly of fir, hemlock. cedar and
spruce. The rivers of Washington are
wooded with heavier growth than
those further south. A sample acre
on the headwaters of the Chehalis,
which empties into Gray's harbor,
sixty-five miles north of the Columbia,
was found to yield eigty-four fir trees,
averaging $4,000 feet each, or 1 ZOOS, 900
feet board measure of clear merchant
able lumber. This specimen acre was
measured by New York lumberman
who was cruising" the country for a
saw mill site. He told me that the
heaviest timber was at the head of
North river, which flows into Shoal-
water bay, between the Enouth of the
Columbia and Gray'ss harbor. It is no
unusual thing, he tells me, in this coun-

They are over 200 feet high, and many

In all Switzerland there is nothing
comparable to these Alaska glaciers,
where the frozen wastes rise straight
from the sea, and a steamer can go up
within an eighth of mile and cruise
beside them. Add to the pictures of
high mountains and snowy glaciers
sapphire bay, scattered over with gilt
tering little icebergs, and nature, can
supply nothing more to stir ones soul,
to rouse the fancy and imagination and
enchant the senses.
