Human Beasts Of Burden.

At last the problem of our school days
is solved, says Mexican letter, and we
have discovered how Cortez accom-.
plished the overland transportation of
that historic feet of ships, built on the
coast and borne over the mountains to the
lake of Mexico. Nearly all the labor in
this queer country is performed by man
power, few carts or horses being employed.
We meet human beasts of burden carry
ing wardrobes on their heads, pianos on
their backs, or huge blocks of building
stone with apparent ease. Mexican In
dians who transport goods from the inter
ior are so trained that they will tire the
strongest horse in equal time and dis
tance, carrying from 100 to $50 pounds
upon their backs. 1t is an actual fact
that, after making a long trip thus heav-
lily loaded, they fill their baskets with
stones on the return, their strained and
distorted muscles requiring the accus-
toned burden.

A Railroad Around the World.

A railroad around the world, or some
thing nearly of that nature, is evidently
in the mind of one of our correspondents,
who suggests the employment of our
surplus revenue in building the line from
Oregon to Alaska, and that then the
Russian government would be likely to
extend the line through Siberia to Pekin.
This having been done, it requires not
much further stretch of imagination to
see, with the minds eye, the long rails
stretching out under the shadows of the
Himalayas until they make connection
with the proposed line in the Jordan
valley, and thence with the European
system. .-Scientbac american.

"wouldst thou have back thy life againP
asked an aged man;
Couldst thou not grander ends attain,
And better life's whole planp
90 No, son, he said; al rest content,
And calmly wait the end.
One life alone to man is lent,
To waste or wisely spend.
"If with the knowledge years bestow
We started in the race,
All plans might meet with overthrow
And shame us with disgrace.
No combination man can make
Insures complete success;
The lucky winner takes the prize
He won by random guess.
"I would not say chance rules below
And nature shows design;
Life is not like the dice's throw,
luck follows laws divine.
"Some men are born to grace a throne,
Some TO n leper's doom;
Yet equal light for both hath sbone
Their spirits to illume.
My life has run through light and shade
The end is drawing near;
long for rest all undismayed,
And ask not back one year"

LOVES REQUEST.

Dear heart, when am dead,
And over my grave the lowly grasses creeps
When birds unheeded sing above my head,
And fail to wake me from my dreamleB
sleep;
would not have you sorrow Ger my rest
And mourn with hopeless passion in your
breast.
When joyful Spring returns
With myriad buds and blossoms in her train;
When DER the fields the lilies watchfire
burns,
and violets blossom, wet with April rain;
1 would not froru your eyes have tears 70
fall,
Because, dear one, 1 cannot see it all.
And when the birds again
With music gladden. all the summer day,
As If their little hearts ne'er felt pain;
When all the earth with life and song is gays
would not have your young heart sorrowtng
Because cannot hear the glad birds sing.
would not have the earth
This beautiful, bright earth, where for rs
two
So many joys have had their happy birth,
So much of beauty drifted to our view
Lose for thy heart one charm it held OF old,
Because my heart is passionless and cold.
Dear friend, would not ask
That thoughts of me forever fill your mind
would not on your life impose the task,
mid all earth's brightness and its joy, to
find
| Only dark shadows, sorrowing and WOO
Ahl no, dear one, would not have so.
But when the day is done.
| And all its heart aches and its cares laid by;
When from the west slow sinks the setting
sun,
And evenings early stars are in the sky;
Should you look upward to the world Of air,
And breathe my name in some half-whisper-
ed prayer
Or, when your feet were free
To wander to the low mound where sleep,
If you should come and calmly think Of me,
It seems that in my slumbers cold and deep,
I'd know that you were standing by my sides
And in my inmost soul be satisfied.

FASHION NOTES.

English girls are wearing patent leather
shoes, with uppers made of pale yellow
kid.
Twenty buttons is the correct length
in New York for gloves for full evening
dress.
Nearly all of the wraps for children
are notifications of the pelisse and pei
crime combined.
The bead embroidery on the colored
kid evening shoe is generally of the same
shade as the kid.
Borders of fur are used to excess on
dresses of all kinds, whether for the
street or house wear.
Bead necklaces are again fashionable
provided the beads are handsome and
odd-looking or quaint.
Taffeta glace, plain and brocaded, is
the silk for early spring and next sum-
mer's full dress wear.
For little boys there are soft berets
trimmed with ribbons, or large fur hats
of the mountaineer shape.
Ash, gray, ruby, and olive are the ia
vorite colors for dressy velvet reception
and opera cloaks and mantles.
Neck chains are altogether out of fash
ion, and women who have handsome
ones are converting them into bracelets.
Plush is coming steadily back into
favor. Worth has just made dress
for the Princess of Wales and another
for the Queen of Portugal, both trimmed
with plush.
Fur trimmings are fashionable this
season, not only for street garments, but
for house dresses, for matinees, for tea
gowns, for robes de chambre, and for
evening toilets of satin or velvet
Pressed leather with colored fruits and
flowers and applied silver ornaments is
used for letter-cases, portfolios, memo
randum books and card eases. Soft buck
skin is preferred for purses in which to
carry coins.
Persian shawls with an elaborate silk
design on a novel ground are cut up into
visites, and their fine coloring produce
an effective wrap for the carriage and for
evening wear. Chenille of all the colorE
in the pattern makes an appropriate
trimming of fringe.
An unusually large amount of yellow
is worn for evenings Deep yellow ano
canary color are not fashionable, but pal,
primrose and delicate lemon are used

why He Had Never Seen the King.

In Bavaria, says the Philadelphia
Press, it is illegal to criticise, even in
friendly spirit, the actions of the king.
Soon after the termination of the Franco
German war, a story was told Of meet
ing in the streets of Munich between the
king of Bavaria and wounded soldier,
during which the king, finding that ne
was not recognized, expressed his sur
prise. GLOW could know your maies-
ty9n said the soldier, in explanation.
';You never gol . the army, and ! never

this anecdote may probably be attributed
the determination taken by the king nos

Monsters of the Deep.

A thrasher shark caught off the New
England coast recently measured over
fifteen feet in length. 1t stove in a
plank of the dory, nearly upsetting the
boat, and destroyed net valued at $500.
A costly catch
The shell of fossil turtle Of tertiary
time unearthed in India and placed in
the British museum, was nearly nine feet
in length and twenty in width. It's
feet were as large as those of rhinoceros,
and when alive the animal must have
been over twenty feet long and have
weighed several tons.
The largest living animal is the erorqual
whale one hundred and two feet in
length the smallest, the amoeboid FORMS
Whales and elephants live to the greatest
age, 1870; May flies the shortest, only a
few hours. The most intelligent of the
lower animals, ahead even of the Austria
liam bushmen and others, are the ants.
The contents of a shark caught at Vir-
ginia, Fla, show that these animals are
valuable scavengers. The items were as
follows: one complete horn of an OK,
with part of skull attached, three hoofs,
two tomato cans, quantity of old rope,
twenty crawfish, and the remains
of part of horse. A slaughter house
in the vicinity was the explanation.
Among the deep sea fishes one has
been found, the Bathyophis ferox, living
off the Australian coast, at depth OF
three and half miles 1t was totally
blind, but provided with oval luminous
spots along its lower surface, and on the
head. These are supposed by some natu
ralists to have as much the functions ol
eyes as those of the mollusks.
Large fishes are nearly always accom-
panied by the remora, fish that has {
sucking disk upon its head. When tire6
they turn over on their backs and attacf
/ themselves, and are thus carried along b,
the fish. The remora of the sword-fish il
remoropsis brachypterus, that of tn,

other kinds are found upon sharks, tur
ties, and even on the sheepshead.
