EDUCATED BY THE NEwsPAPERs.-A mem
Der Of q manufacturing firm that employs
500 men told a committee of the United
States Senate that the knowledge he pos
sessed he got by reading the newspapers,
and not from books and that by reading
the papers he kept himself informed on the
literature and current events of the day
Thousands of other prominent business
men would make the same acknowledge
ment if questioned on the subject The
tendency of all literature is toward expan-
sion, so the most industrious reader of
books can scarcely in a lifetime become
well informed. Newspapers, on the CON
trary, condense nearly everything into as
few words as possible Were a student to
attempt to give the political, social, religious
and literary thought of ths world for day
he might do it in far mbre elegant style
than the newspapers, but his history would
occupy the reader time for at least week
The newspaper is the true American uni
versity.-. Exchange. :

New YORK, June 18th The consignment of
California fruit mentioned in previous dispatches
arrived this morning. The apricots and peaches
were in tirst-class condition and not in the least
injured by the long journey each being Sepa-
rately wrapped in stout white paper. The flavor
case: apricots about the same price. Cherries
came on in odd packages, but did not stand the
trip so well as the other fruit. Many were badly
damaged. They sell from II to 40 cents per
pound, but cannot compete with domestic cher
ries. which were selling from to 10 cents per
pound. California fruit is used here almost ex-
clusively by the large fruit stores. The high

PACE OF THE CAMEL-As a matter of
fact, and in spite Of It's having carried Ma
homet in four jumps from Jerusalem to
Mecca, seven miles an hour is the camels
best pace, nor can it maintain this rate
over two hours. Is usual speed is about
five niles an hour-a slow, lounging pace,
beyond which it is dangerous with nine
camels out Of every ten. to urge them. or.
as AsiaticS say. they break their hearts. -
and die, literally, on the spot. For, when
a camel has been pressed beyond this
speed, and is spent il llneels down, and
not all the wolves in Asia will make il

less as food in front of its nose The
camel remains where it kncels, and where
it kneels it dies

FOR REFLECTION.

Never shirk the effort which is re-.
quired to live correctly.
Sound health depends as we'll on good
food as well rs fresh air.
Try to be happy in the present, and
not put it off for some future time.
Take life just as God gives it to you,
and make it as beautiful as you can.
The soul Is not poisoned by mere err
rors of the head, but by evils of the
heart.
The moment man Is satisfied with
himself, everybody else Is dissatisfied
with him.
That virtue which needs anchoring
makes its possessor like a ship mooTed
among breakers.
" hen one becomes so conceited that
he can't be taught, he and a fool wear
the same Of a cap.
Charles Dickens tells somewhere q
story of man who hired hideous-
looking hoy to pelt him with stones
and drive him home if he caught him
out at night after 10 O'Clock. The mau,
it seems, thought that the stones would
hurt him as much as the other things
he might meet with if he exposed him
self in the streets of the city after 10
o'clock at night. This man, in all prob
ability, was right in coming TO this
conclusion. Would it not he good policy
for many persons OF the present day tO
pay some boys for pelting them with
stones and driving them to their homes
where they would be out of danger and
where they would be so warmly wei.
