De, tn on the Isthmus.

There are jIruesome sights sometimes in
this capital city Of VI. de Lessrps' second
republic. Sitting on your veranda late at
night, you see the door of the little adobe
house across the way open. The woman
Of the house, who lodges two or three ca-
nal employees. peers cautiously out into
the street, re-enters the house. and when
she comes out again drags som thing over
the threshold, across toe narrow sidewalk,
and leaves it lying in the dirty street.
When she closes the door again there is
no noise but the plash of the tide on the
shale. Soon it grows lighter. A buzzard
drops laZily down from the roof Of the
cathedral and perches on the something
in the street. The outlines becOm, more
distinct. You walk down, drive away the
bird who flies sullenly back to his watch
town, and stand looking in the quick dawn
OF the tropics at what was yesterday a
mana week before strong mana
month before a hopeful man, sailing out
of Havre He is dead of the yellow
fever.
The woman with whom he lodged
might have sent him to the company'S
hospital; true, but she did not know just
what forms or expenses that might mean
for her. She did what she could, as she
will tell the gossips, and no doctor could
do more When the fever came 1t was
Gods Judgment on these foreigners He
had but little in her house, and what he
had was surely hers. 1t could not be
called his now. A man comes down the
narrow street, turns aside, avoids the
| corpse, and goes on to his work Bye and
bye, when many more have passed, a
wagon comes and stops. Two men lift
down from it a wretched broken coffin,
bound with knOttei ropes, and roll the
dead man in, face down as it Eappens.
They drive him to the pauper Lurial-
ground, leave him there, and take the
coffll off again This is the seamy side
of life in Panama Panama Cor. New

Moonlight nights-they are the bane of
railroad engineers" said head official Of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. "All en-
gineers dread moonlight nights. They
try the nerves to their utmost. Eagi neers
like to run on dark nights. On moon
light night the trouble with them is no
trouble at all-shadows. An engineer,
looking out from his engine, sees before
him all manner of shadows. He is sure
that the dark shadow across the track he
sees is a man or a rock, or some kind of
an obstruction. He doesn't know, and he
is kept in a state Of nervous excitement
all the time. Going around curves, along
hillsides, many curious shadows are out
lined on the track, and very often an en-
gineer is so worked up over a nights ride
that ne is scarcely able to perform his du-
ties.-Exchange.

Among the trophies brought home by the
French army from their eastern expeditions
is a specimen Of bird rarely if at all seen in
Europe. This is the celebrated Chinese or
rather Manchoorian lark. He is a larger
bird than his European congener; his
notes are more brilliant, and his natural
repertoire, if the expression may be used, is
more extensive. But the most noticeable
feature is his wonderful promptness and skill
OF mimicry, deserving indeed in this respect
the title of genuine mocking bird, initiating
most natural sounds which he hears, the
notes and songs of other birds, the cawing of
crows, the Growing G: cocks, the braying of
the donkey, and even the barking Of dogs
,ne Chinese turn this faculty 20 account, and

In climbing a ladder, we can
ascend one step only by letting go
another; so all through life we
cannot take one upward step ex-
cept by letting 60 the one we now
stand upon. The child Unjust lose his
infantile grace, his winning ways
and something Of his innocence,
to become the sturdy, active, in
quiring youth; and the youth in
his turn must lose much of his
bounding gaioty and eager en-
thusiasm, 10 gain the stability.
breadth Of view, and power of ma
ture and intellectual manhood. SO
each species of happiness is gain-
ed by resigning some preceding
one. The scnsualist must give up
the pleasutes of vice, ere he can
know the delights Of a happy
home; the miscr must resign the
JOY OF counting his hoard before
he can experience the happiness of
n generous affection, Tho schol-
ar gives up ease for knowledge,
the philanthropist loses many
personal advantages to linda high
er happiness in others good; the
patriotic statesman lots 60 his pri-
yate ambitions for his country's
welfare. Each stepinyolyes a loss
of tho ono that went before, but
only TO bring a better gain,
