A Phenomenal Quarry.

A phenomenal quarry has been dis
covered in Monticello. N. Y, If reports
from that section are true. On remov-
ing the everything mass of earth and
powders, the quarry developed hori-
zontal bed of bluestone, about II by 40
feet, scanned with layers or "lifts," as
they are technically termed, as usual.
No sooner was the everything mass of
earth removed than the center of the
upper layers of bluestone bulged up
oot or more, as though upheaved by
ome gigantic force from below, and
The upper seams cracked and opened
under the strain. The amazed quarry
men knew not how to account for this
phenomenon, but found their work
facilitated by the opening Of the
seams, and proceeded to open the lifts.
AS each layer was removed the newly
exposed stone continued to bulge up
md the seams continued to crack and
pen. So the work goes OH from day
- day, except that the force Of the
pheayal seems to increase as the
uaryymen make then way dows Sinto
he depths Of the quarry.

No REASON to be Discouraged.

A telegraph operator in Milwaukee
was one day trying to call up an Office
in small town in the interior of the
State, where the instrument was pre-
sided over by n woman.
He was about giving up in despair
when the operator in another small
town a few miles distant from the first
licked out the query:
p "What in heavens name do you
wantp"
II want Miss Brown at Burgville,"
replied the Milwaukee man. 81 have
been trying to get her for the last half
hour" fn
"That is nothing" came the reply.

ing to get her for the last three years,
and he has not succeeded yet, Do not

The merciless villain insured his own

After the time when the sea cap
tain had paid his visit at Mrs. Ander-
kin's house, Esthers position became
subject to certain changes. One little
domestic privilege followed another,
so gradually and so modestly that
the house-keeper found herself loved
and honored member of the family,
without being able to trace by what
succession Of events she had risen to
the new place that she occupied. The
secret coniided to the two ladies had
been strictly preserved; Esther never
even suspected that they knew the
deplorable story of her lovers death.
Her life, after what she had suffered,
was not prolonged to a great age. She
died-peacefully unconscious Of the
terrors of death. Her last words were
spoken with smile. She looked at the
loving friends assembled round her
bed, and said to them, My dear one is
waiting for me- Goodbye"

Pity, peIichcy. and Lap Dogs.

\ Excellent as restraining Influences
as governing powers they would be,
and are, simply destructive of all true
manhood. The one mitigates the Sc
verify of pure justice, the other removes
ugliness when it can. soltens it when
it cannot, and beauti!ies essential pov-
erty with adyentitious ornamentation.
But where should we be If this pity.
this delicacy, had the upper hand, au
the nervous fears and refnements of,
women depressed the energies Of men
to a level with their own and abolish
all the rude and unsightly activities?
Rough and cruel and ghastly things
must be done in the world, and pity
for the individual must not be suffered
to interfere with the general good-for
the most part brought about by the
sacrifice Of the individual. Else must
we go back to root eating and substan-
tial barbarism. But the individualiz-
ing faculty OF women comes in to soften
what cannot be prevented, and their
pity restrains unnecessary excess Of
necessary suffering. Thus, each faculty
acts as that well worn drag without
which things would go too fast, but
with which, in exaggeration, things do
not go at all. Forexample, rabies may
be prevalent, but the largest proportion
Of the women with fayorite lap dogs
are more indignant because of the dis
comfort Of their own muzzled pets than
able TO appreciate the usefulness of the
general law.m 81 llla elvtl j'li
If polled to-day, that largest proper
tion would vote for the abolition of the
muzzle, no matter what the results ia
the community at large, glad to secure
the freedom of their own, at the expense
Of aprinciple. And what Is true Of
lap dogs is true of all the rest. 1ni nl

HEALTHY OCCUPATIONS.
What Statistics ..eveaI About Lives of
Professional People.

The first place among healthy occur
tion is held by ministers Of religion, I
death rate of this class being sos. Ne
we have gardeners and nurserymen
who stand at 500; farmers and graziers,
631; agricultural laborers, 701; school
masters, 7lS; the other trades which
follow closely on these being grocers,
coal merchants, paper manufacturers,
lace and hosiery manufacturers, Wheel
wrights, ship builders and shipwrights,
and coal miners. The figure of mortal
ity for all these trades Is under 775.
On the other side, that of unhealthy
occupations, the first place is held by
the trades which are concerned in the
manufacture and distribution of intox-
icating drink, which, as Is well known,
entail many temptations to use it to
excess. The list Of unhealthy occupa.
tions is headed by the class Of inn and
hotel servants, whose figure amounts
up to 2,2O5, being nearly double that
Of the medical profession. The high
est place next to them are held by gen.
eral laborers and costermongers, haw-
kers and street sellers; the former class
with 5000, and the latter with 1879
1t is probable that both are largely
made up of broken men, the wrecks of
other callings. Innkeepers, publicans,
spirit, wine and beer dealers follow with
figure Of 1891. and brewers with 1851.
In support of the belief that these
high rates of mortality are chiefly due
to alcoholic excess, DR.. 0gle has COM
pared with them the mortality as
signed to diseases of the liver, the
organ through which such excess
chiefly declares itself, and has obtained
results which are entirely in harmony
with those of the trade returns. Next
to the trades concerned with alcohol,
the highest rates are furnished by
occupation, which involve the breath
ing of dust-other than coal dust-and
especially of sharp and gritty char
acter, or largely composed of minera
matter; next, those in which there is
exposure to lead poisoning, as witt
plumbers, painters and file-makers
The earthenware manufacturers, who
are much exposed to mineral dust, have
figure of 1,742; file-makers, who work
upon leaden cushion, reach 1857, ant
plumbers and painters, who are alsc
exposed to lead, reach l,202.

In Front of the Capitol.

2 On the western front of the Capitol,
on the second terrace, is a small oval
pond fenced with high, thick railings.
Init is little water, a good deal of ice
and q dozen or two small-sized gold
fish. / am told that it costs the govern
ment thirty dollars apiece per annum
to keep those fish. OF course, they have
to be fed, cared for and taken out Of
the pond when it freezes solid, and

but the main expense, am told, grows
out Of the attempts which have been
made, to block the little game Of a
stalwart catfish which comes up the big
drain pipe from the Potomac, half a
mile of, and eats up the spawn of the
gold fish. 1t has been the custom to
drain the pond and make raid upon
him three or four times a year. In
each case, Of course, he has quietly
gone down the drain to his native

Long Credits.

In Europe long credits linger most in
Germany, one Of its poorest countries
and the only one, except Turkey, where
more credit Is still given in retail busi-
ness than in wholesale. But even in
Germany the cash system has lately
been making considerably way. One
reat obstacle to it there, as elsewhere
$ the shop-keeper himself. He thinks
the cash system lowering to the dignity
of his establishment, or wanting in re-
spect to his customers; he believes he
has better hold on the continuance of
their custom and is liable to sell more
70 them If they keep an account with
him, and he knows he can charge them
better price by reason Of the accomo-
dation. 1t is usually supposed that the
credit system is advantageous to the
shopkeeper, this, however, may be
doubted, but there can be no question
that the abolition of the system Of
shop credits would be an unmixed bene-
lit to mankind. Producers credits may
lead to occasional overtrading, but it is
at least means of immensely increas-
ing production and wealth, through
bringing capital-not into being, but
what practically is as good-into use,
and transferring it from hands that
cannot handle it into hands that can.
But consumers credit carriesno advan-
age whatever, unless in individual
cases of temporary embarrassment for
which better provision might be made
otherwise. Its general effect is to
tempt the weaker sort of persons to
live above their means, and make the
rest of us pay the piper for them in the
enhanced prices of all we buy. One
marks without regret that the course
of things seems to be making for its
suppression, and this is not the least
