Wide Awake for RusIn nrs.

One characteristic Of successful mon
is close and wide awake attention to the
work in hand, such, for instance; az
marked a New York driver on the line
of stages which have recently been with
drawn from Broadway. lie had gem
ius for driving stage, and WAS noted
for keeping his stage full of passengers,
and for taking in more fares than any
other driver on the route His success
was not accidental. Ills eyes were for
ever on the lookout, both on Broadway
and in the side streets, 50 that he never
failed to see a distant nod nor slight
gesture.
A similar alertness for business is no.
ticeable among the frpitpeddlers, tho
bOotblacks and the newsiOys Of New
York. Three carts full Of bananas and
other fruit may be seen standing close
together by the sidewalk. The man jn
the midd}e cart will work every moment
standing up calling attention to his
stock, and alert to gapple with any ono
who comes up with the slightest inten-
ton Of buying
But the other venders will be seated
and half-dozing, or reading a newspa-
per, careleSsly waiting for a customer to
ask for fruit. Before noon the appear
ancp of the wagons shows the inevitable
result. Bv night. the middle wagon il

The Jumbo OF Human Existence.

I'll tell you what I believe. / believe
the man doesn't live who can afford to
be careless about the future, about his
religion. 1t is the biggest thing he Will
ever be called upon to deal with. His
first smoke, his first pair of red-top
boots, his sheepskin, his marriage, his
first baby-none of these is any com
parison to the immensity and Importance
of this future business. 1t is the Jumbo
of all human existence, and a man
shouldn't let it walk on him. believe,
furthermore, that men shouldn't be
afraid to talk about this thing.
Why, it is almost forbidden subject in
ordinary conversation. People act as il
it was not fit to mention. They
steer clear Of it, both in their
thoughts and their conversation,
and if a chap who has thought
about it begins to talk in its
direction he is at once frozen out and
made to understand that it is tabooed.
OF course, one man can't think out an
others religion for him-or, at least, he
ought not to but the trouble is that, as
nobody talks of it, nobody thinks of it
and minds run to pennies, per cents,
profits, follies, and falderols, and mill
ions of people go along through life
without giving an hours thought year
to the most stupendous thing in the uni
verse. Chicago Herald Barber.

A JAPANESE cURIo STORE.
A Disregard of Modern Ways-Rooms

A Disregard of Modern ways-Kooms
Full of Relies and Oddities.
A curio store that most delights my
heart is kept by one Hari Shin, Japan
ese gentleman of the old school, who
still shaves his hair in strip across the
top of his head and turns it forward in
the gun-hammer cue of the ancient
samurai. Hari Shin, despising modern
ways and business signs, simply hangs a
huge sword over his gateway, and leaves
one to stumble in accidentally upon a
rubbish and 'lumber-room and take il
into his head to pursue his way across
the garden uDguided.
Hidden away back there is room full
Of old saddles and state kagos or palan-
quins; niche full of old banners and
spears; an apartment piled high and
hung with Old dresses, brocade dra-
peries and uniforms; rooms filed with
carved and gifded Buddhas; divine
Kwannons more OF less battered and
worn, and rooms of old china, Old
lacquer and old wood-earvinG. The last
room looks upon a little garden, which
holds, of course, its miniature pond
crossed by a stone bridge; its stone Ian
tern under the shadow of tree at the
waters edge, and bronze storks and
stunted pines along the slope of the small
mountain, cunningly represented at one
end. Across the garden are three more
rooms of armor, coins and all kinds ci
ancient things, and a second story re-
peats all the labyrinth of rooms filled
with more and more curios.
Hari Shin's was the kind of place
had been dreaming of, and since thank.
ing the accident that took me there,
have found that few knew of him and
his treasures outside Of the men in the
curio business. My enthusiasm for the
place was followed by that of the others,
and Hari Shin's queer, picturesquely
crowded and hidden-away place has be.

II is said that not q single bright
colored feather on any birds body Is left
idle or unplayed. If birds have bright
colored tails they raise them to their
highest and fullest and abass their head;
if bright heads, then they shake out
their plumes, Their eyes distcnd, and
their wattles swell; and if, as in some
cases, they have large tippets of feathers
falling on both sides OF the head, they

done when she is near; it all turncd on

Percentage of Silver and Gold.

The goldsmith having smeltcd his
bench scrapings, sweepings, ETC., and
formed button" of them may roughly
estimate the percentage of the precious
metals he has collected in this way: A
certain quantity of the button is taken
and drawn out into a wire which
must be of exactly the same length as a
wire of fine silver drawn through the
same hole. Silver being nearly one
third lighter than gold, it follows that
the wire of fine silver must be lighter
than the one which was made from the
button specimen, and the increase of
weight of the wire under test corre-
spends to the gold contained in it.

While our author was at his post every
night the aurora borealis appeared; st
at any rate, there was not single clear
evening when it was absent. Sometimes
it filled the whole sky; often its displays
were confined to insignificant and faint
phenomena, low in the north, just like
those observed in southern Scandinavia;
but sometimes they obtained magniti-
cence which defied description. He
came to the conclusion that the great
many different forms might certainly be-
reduced to few simple ones.
In most instances the aurora forms
belts or zones, which stretch across the
earth in the direction of the magnetic
east west, which zones are conglomer-
alton of thin sheets of luminous matter,
ranged one behind the other, their direc-
ton being parallel with the inclination
needle. The luminous matter in those
sheets is even, or diffuse, or divided into
Streamcrs. The red color in the lower
edge of arcs and bands often undergoes
remarkable hanges, and becomes GRIM
son, or purple, or pink, or red ochro. or
violet. The light, however, is weaker
than was to be expected. = Literary

Tho Popularity of Athletics.

One might almost say that athletics
had at once destroyed literature on the
one side and religion on the other. The
audience or congregation is the test of
popularity of anything, and not even
Moody and Sankey can draw the audi
ences which attend the walking
matches. The arrival of the pope, or OF
Spurgeon, or the mahdi, or the Great
Mogul, would not draw as many people
as 60 to one Of the big horse races at
Sheepshead bay or Monmouth park.
The coming of Pharos or extra colossal
statue, surprising in size all the colassi
of antiquity, does not bring out as many
boats as come to see two yachts un-
known but yesterday sail for an interna-

"CrihhinR,, I'm Colleges.

A confession upon cribbing in colleges
has revealed dark and devious ways in
education. One man is said to.squeeze
through tight place by writing memo
randa on his polished boots and rubbing
chalk into the marks. Trade dollars,
smoothed on one side and inscribed with
memoranda, aid the cribber. Another
method is paper in the sleeve, kept out
of sight by an elastic, and drawn for
ward when needed. Writing on sleeve
cuffs has fallen into disnse. But the

Over 1000 Zanzibar porters have been

as tAo French language is in Europe.
The Bantu dialects of the Congo and in

African plateau, sufficiently resemble the
Swahili TO enable the ZanZibaris and in

The natives of east Greenland show
no evidences of their language or ap-
pearance of relationship with the Esqui-
maux. The 1900 natives of Labrador
are classed with their brethren in west
Greenland. Then come the western Es-
quimaux, who include quite number
of tribes living between Hudson bay and

live on the shores of the Arctic ocean,
half way across Siberia, are the third
branch of the Esquimaux family, OF
