The Greatest Enterprise Of the Age.

lHt OIcutcSt bltoi pa vi WIZ no"
A Sitlings representative sat down
on Union Square bench the other day
to rest himself little, when a sccdy
man with a general misft appearance
came along, and touching the brm of
a delapidated stove pipe said: "Sir,
are you prepared to subscribe to the
greatest enterprise of the age"
At the same time he produced a
greasy memorandum book and stub
of lead pencil.
What enterprise do you refer top
Raising the submerged continent OF
Atlantis! For more than eleven thou
sand years, according to Plato, has
that vast island, once the garden of the
world, the seat of the Elysian Fields,
lain dormant beneath the waves OF the
Atlantic. am the representative of a
land company with capital of $780,
600, coo, that has been established for
the purpose of restoring it to the real
estate market of the world. How
much stock shall Iput you down forP"
And he wet the pencil stub on his
tongue preparatory to writing.
- iit i'NtiS"p'S'
"Of course it is. Atlantis was sub
merged by CONFUSION OF nature, was
it notp"
According to newspaper accounts
of that day, it was"
Very WELL Another CONFUSION will
bring it TO the surface again.
Have YOU the facilities about your
person for producing the necessary con-
vulson?"
"rhe Earthquake Promoter Company
QinIitcd), of which | am also repre-
sentative, will attend to that. Let me
set you down for few thousand shares
in this company also "
wait bit. Atlantis, according to
the most authentic accounts, was lar
GER than Asia Minor and Lydia com
blned. How would it effect real estate
in this country to throw so much land
upon the market all at once?"
Not at all. 1t would all be absorb
cd by the surplus population of Europe.
1t would solve the problem of the
races, prevent the war with which
Europe is threatened, and hasten the
millennium. Say you take 100, 200
shares in the Atlantis Land Company
and 10000 in the Earthquake Promoter
association"
The scheme seems feasible, bnt ]
haven't the money about me just now. y
only small advance is accessory, y
said the seedy man persuasively. Say
five dollars to bind the bargain"
"Couldn't spare it this morning"
you are losing the opportunity of
your life. Stocks will be ut premium
as soon MS it gets out that Atlantis is to
be raised.
Cant help it."

perhaps n dollar would secure all the
stock you want.
at would secure more than Iwant.
The stranger advanced coniidenti-
ally. II represent the greatest enterprise
on earth at this moment, but | am tenn
porar ly embarrassed. If on could adj
vance me about ten cents will use my
influence TO secure for you the New

A California paper says the great
plateau between the Rocky mountains
and the Sicrras, comprising the terri
tory of Utah and the state of Nevada,
is apparently destined to become the
greatest cattle range of the country.
Immense tracts of land. some embrac-
ing $50, 900 acres, have been purchased.
and owners of large herds in Texas
and other southwestern states are look
ing for ranges in this wide section Of
natural pastursland.

The Afternoon session of the fifth
day opened at 3 o'clock with Rev. NJ.
II. Nicely, of Terrell, in the chair
Rev. ID. J. Martin, of Farmersville,
opened the services by reading and
prayer.
The secretary read the minutes
which were approved.
The discussion over the report of
the Board of Education concerning
the Central college at Sulphur Springs
was resumed.
Mr.. Allen spoke in favor Of the mi
nority report.
Mr.. Archer spoke in behalf of Mr..
Atkinson, the president of the college,
who had prepared the report with un-
usual care with view Of correlation
with the Southwestern university.
The bishop rose and informed the
conference that the discussion resolved
on the resolution of Mr.. Hughes,
which he had offered as an amend
ment. The purport of this resolution
was to adopt the report as it first came
from the committee-"withou condi-
tons independent of the South
western University.
Mr.. Binkley, of Sherman, spoke in
favor of receiving the Central College
pure and simple, as reported by the
Board of education. lie was in favor
of schools; the more schools the bet
ter. Sulphur Springs was no rival of
Georgetown. Georgetown could take
care of herself, but if the University
did not quit sending such men as Mr..
Mclean here he did not know what the
result would be.
Here there was loud call for the
vote. which was taken on Mr.. Hughes
amendment, which was voted down.
The previous question was called,
voted upon and lost. Then came the
vote for the report as it first came
from the committee. This carried.
Mr.. Archer read another report
from the board Of education, which
stirred up another hornets nest. The
purport of this report was that the
trustees and management of the North
Texas Female College found that it
was impracticable to sell the property
of said institute and favored bonding
the same for money enough to pay OIL
the Indebtedness.
Mr.. Allen read minority report
and spoke at length in its favor, and in
strong, dcnunciating terms Of the
trustees of the college and the man
agemcnt generally, giving a detailed
statement of its financial condition,
charging that the managers went d.
rectly against the instructions of the
conference, running into debt from
$4,000 to $4,000 in three years.
A vote was taken to adopt the
minority report, but il was lost.
Mr.. Anderson was for holding fast
to all they had and get more,
and that, as the trustees had been
reckless in their management and had
squandered money needlessly, he
thought it time for them to step down
and out, and offered an amendment
striking out all that part in the report
that refers to the board of trustees, |
and that the bishop appoint board of
curators and revoke the order of sale.
This amendment was adopted.
Mr.. OWNS. president of this col
lege, asked to make few remarks in
his own defense. lie said that the
amendment of Mr.. Anderson and Mr..
Hughes was personal insult to him
and he was here to defend his every
act, etc. The gentleman spoke at
length in his own defense and in bitter
terms.

There never was Il class OF vessels so un-
seaworthy, for the reason that their dis
placement and buoyancy were so very
nearly the same. They could not live In a
heavy sea. About ten years ago | shipped
on one of them as engineer. 1t was at New
Orleans, and the high wages paid prompted
me TO accept the place. There were IA lot
OF monitors there Mt that time to be taken
around, up the coast, on Il short sea voyage.
TIL engines of the one shipped upon were
perfect beauties, about the handsomest |
ever saw, and | spent four days getting
them in condition. Just before we were
to leave | went up into the city and fell in
with an old man-of-war's man, whom |
told about my job. Don't 60" he said,
those cheese boxes on RATS are Internal
death traps" hen he went on to tell me
of the defects in their construction and the
danger from heavy seas. The talk made
such an impression upon me that | never
went back, not even for my hammock and
d%unnage. 1t happened that the monitors
made the trip all right, but they had
several narrow squeaks OF 1t. These YES
sells, IL shoul be borne in mind, were CON
sidered a great improvement over the
original monitor, which was only floated
Mt all by the greatest sort OF a scratch

Next, let us consider a very simple
article, which most people would hardly
deem worthy of notice as an invention,
and yet which occupies a most important
place in the history Of the human race. |
allude to bricks. Whoever first pressed
clay into the form OF a parallelogram, and
dried 1t in the sun. was n genius. 1t looks
simple enough now. One might say, IA
child could think OF that; but many gen
e~rations of men lived and died on the face
OF the globe without thinking of it. Con
slider the millions of millions OF bricks
composing our dwellings and factories and
churches, think OF the inestimable benefits
conferred upon mankind by this simple
invention and of the load OF gratitude
due to the memory OF the great discov-
erer.
But again the question arises, who was
her Where did he live, and in what age
OF the worldS Alasl there is no answer to
these questions;. silence covers up his
history. Let us hope that he lived long
enough after his invention to build him
self a comfortable brick dwelling in which
to end his useful life. May we not hope
that in some other sphere he is reaping the
reward of his inestimable gift to his fellow
creatures. While he has passed away
from the world-dust to dust, ashes TO
ashes-the benefits of his invention will
continue as long as the world lasts, and
all generations should call him blessed.
Let us, ms soon AS the Grant
fund is completed, open a new subscrip-
tion, to raise u brick column whose head
shall reach ever into heaven" in honor
of the great benefactor.- Outing.

The Egg Dance Mt Baroda.

A lance infinitely more graceful and in
teresting than that executed by the
Nautch girls is the egg dance. The
dancing girls, dressed in the ordinary cos
tune OF the women of the people-a
bodice and n very short sarri-carries on
her head a wicker wheel, placed perfectly
horizontal. Round this wheel threads are
attached at equal distances, which are
provided at their extremities with n slip
knot kept open by means Of a glass bead.
The dancing girl advances towards the
spectators, holding n basket filed with
eggs, and, to the measure of a monoton-
Gus and jerky strain of music, begins turn
ing herself around with great rapidity.
Then, seizing al egg, she inserts 1t in one
Of the slip knots.
BY means of centrifugal action, the
thread holding the egg is tihgtened and
placed in n straight line with the CORE
spending spoke of the wheel. One after
the other the eggs. are thrown into slip
knots, and form a horizontal aureola
around the head of the dancing girl. AT
this point the dance becomes more and
more rapid, and the least false step, the
slightest stoppage, would smash the egg
one against another. The eggs are ther
withdrawn one by one in the same Ian
ner in which they have been fixed, and
this second operation is the most delicate
of the two.-Baroda Cor. London Queen.

As | neared the stream TO secure
material for our first lunch the pleasant
sound of n woman's voice, followed by a
ripping laughter, rather astonished me,
and, going II few steps farther, somewhat
more cautiously, | came upon a very re-
freshing scene. Two young ladies, who
had probably heard of the Indians mode
of fishing by constructing a wicker-work
dan and driving the fish into the trap,
had in%geniously simplified the plan
and were just commencing operations.
They had Invested themselves OF their
foot-gear, and were standing in the stream
about twenty feet apart, in water some
ten inches deep.
As soon rs the more muscular one sue
ceeded in getting "A large, flaring tin pan
in position under water, she called to her
companion, "Now start theml" and, brac-
ing herself, prepared to scoop up a fine
mess of fish, while sher friend advanced
toward her, beating the water with some
brush and shooting continually. |
watched them make two runs, both at
tended with poor results rs far as the
catch of fish was concerned, but they had
all the enjoyment they could manage, judg-
ing by the hearty peals OF laughter they
INDUCED in; and l passed on, as l came,
unobserved, and thoroughly amused at
this harmless mode of fishing.-Cor. Over
