A QUARREL.

There's knowing little proverb From the Sunny land of Spain; But in Northland and in Southland Is its meaning clear and plain, Lock it up within your heart Neither lose nor lend it; Two it takes to make a quarrel One can always end it. Try it well in every way Still you'll find it true. In fight without foe, Pray, what could you do? If the wrath is yours alohe,
 Soon you would expend it. Two it takes to make quarrel One can always end it. .. Let's suppose that both are wroth, And the strife begun; If one voice shall cry for Peace" Soon it will be done
 If but one shall span the breach, He will quickly mend it. Two it takes to make quarrel Ono can always end it.

4 Story of Tyier's second Mar
 fiage.

There IS a story which Henry A. Wise tells in his book on Tyler as to how Tyler announced to him his intention to marry Miss Gardi- her. Cleveland is 49 and Miss Folsom 23. Tyler was 54 at the time of his second marriage and Julia Gardiner was not yet out of her teens. Wise says that Tyler took him out for ride in March, 1S44, about the hills of Washing ton, and that they had not driven far before he discovered that Pres ident Tyler turned aside all allu- sion to politics and showed signs of secrets more sacred and tender. After many contortions he got it out at last that he thought of mar rying, and he wanted know Wise's opinion on the subject. Wise said:
 "Well, Mir. President, I suppose of course you have found some honored dame of dignity who can bring grace to the White House and add to your domestic comfort" "
 90, no dame," replied the Presi- dent: but a sweet damselp'
 "Who, pray, of damsel degree" rejoined Wise, "could or should an old President win?"
 As Tyler replied that he was go< ing to marry Julia Gardiner, w. was very much surprised and & plainly told President Tyler tl5 such marriage was very lmpf B dent for him and that he was n old.
 'Poohm said Tyler, "why, my dear sir, I am just in my full prime"
 "Aht" returned Wise. "but has John '. Mason never told you about friend of his, rich and full of acres, calling his African waiter, Tony, into council upon the tender topic of his marrying miss in her teens? Tony shook his head and said 'Massa, you think you can stand that!' Yes, Tony, why not? She is so sweet, so beautiful, that she could make me rise from q bed of illness and weakness to woo her for bride; but l am yet strong and I can now as well as I ever could make her happy Yes, but

The American Type.
I I I.

At the close of the Revolution ary war, though the two great bodies of English-speaking people became separated politically, the dependence of the colonies, now become states, upon the mother country was scarcely less than when subject to the crown. Bar ring the question of politics, Great Britain influenced the thought and action of her lost subjects to marked degree, and Americans, who then had not ceased to be Englishmen, were content to fol low in the paths which theft k1ns- men of of the United kingdom were pursuing.
 With the opening of the pres ent century, however, came a speedy change. Flushed with power and prosperity, and not unpardonable pride de-though it as sumed the swaggering braggado cio of youth-came the desire for more marked individuality, Americanism began to assert it. self, and the feeling arose that we were nation in race as well as in government. British models were no longer the standard, Amer ica felt a self-sufficiency for each and everything within her own bounds, and dependence gave " to the assertis6 of equality
 perloLjt Then camsenslon of tt rritory in ths~ end the era of e',e pioneer began, and with this commenced that great wave of European immigration, which has been dralnlng Ireland and the continent until now. These two influences, western settlement and development, and the influx of foreigners who were not British, combined with climatic change, are the great factors modifying the English type in America.
 The lIew England an Virginia settlers, had and Old England to look to and modelled in accordance, and what divergence arose, came from the necessity of the soil. A sturdy race of strong type, instead of yielding blindly to the force of nature and allowing the process of evolution to work it's will with them, and losing race identity on alien earth, they set to work to make another England, and be- yond expectation succeeded. Changes there were, but such on ly ds necessity compelled.
 The pioneer immigrant to the west, however, looked not to Eng land, but to the East or South as the home from which to model, and thus in the second remove came a wider divergence, and things peculiarly American grew with the transplantihg. With the rapid growth of the west came the reaction upon the more conserva- tive east, and though cultured New England or genteel Virginia mig ht sheer at the rowdy states of the Mississippi Basin, yet their strength had strong and whole some influence on the older com munities, acknowledged by the very vehemence of Puritan or Cavalier denial.

\ Lesson in PronUnciation.

How few people pronouhce the English language correctly-at least as the dictionary gives it. To pronounce all his words as he should man must be almost too much of petty student to be a scholar, or must have d gift in cer- tain specialties of memory. Still it is hobby of nine out of ten to speak by the card, and to such as these the following paragraph will be interesting. It is curious col lection of frequently mispronoun- ced words:

The following interesting figures indicating the length of time the anthracite coal supply of Pennsyli vania may be expected to last, have just been complied. The total anthracite area before mining commenced was 320,000 square miles. Allowing 1000 tons to the acre, foot in depth would give 32G.O0O,OOO tons. Assuming that the depth averages 30 feet, it gives a grand total of 9,6O0,0OO,O6G tons. At the present time the consump- ton averages about 30,000,000 ton5 a year. 50 It will be seen that at the commencement of mining oper- ations the supply was sufficient for 320 years. About 50S,000 tons, or about IT years' supply, have been mined, leaving sufficient to supply the demand for over 300 years to come.-Philadelphia Times.

Pocket Hunting.

Gold pocket hunting is separate and distinct from any other chars acter of prospecting. There are net more than half dozen men on the Pacific coast who have re- duced pocket hunting to science and cnn trace with unorriug cer. tainty gold bearing float quartz to its source. By close observ- ance they have discovered that when gold quartz becomes detach- ed from a vein by the erosive ac- tion of the elements, and drifts down the sloping side of hills and mountains, the float spreads out in the form of 8 fan or triangle from the point from which it had become detached When the ex- perienced pocket hunter finds d piece of rich float he immediately sets about seeking the source fr5hi which it drifted by the following ingenious methods.
 He draws sih imaginary line on the side of the hill, parallel with the su1fimit, and pans the dlrt along tic line to the right as long as he can find "color." When he fails to find "color" in that direc- ton he is convir ced that he has passed beyond the point where the float has drifted from the pocket.
 He then returns along the Base of the imaginary triangle to the point where he first began pap- hing and proceeds in the saliis manner to the left until he is sat isfied that he has passed the line of the drift on that side. He then returns to the center of the base of the triangle. and ascending the hill goes through the same process, the base of the triangle continual ly growing as he approaches the point of the triangle from where the float drifted, and pans until the ''colors" gives out m ascend ing. He is now satisfied fro1d ex- perience that the eagerly sought for pocket lies between the point below where he found the last col1 or and the point above where he failed to find it. the prospect boIes being separated by onlya few f5et: He now runs a cut between the two points and invariably finds the exact point in the hidden vein where the rich float drifted from and uncovers the pocket, which sometimes contains only 8 few ounces of the yellow metal and again pans out fortunes.
 It requires great care and pa tience to follow up the float suc- cessfully, but the enthusiastic prospector, if water is convenient, camps on the spot and lab5fs dlli- gently and cheerfully, in the cer- tain knowledge that he will be richly rewarded for his toll when the source of the float is found Virginia City Chronicle.

An Underwater Boat.

A boat has already been invented, and

and absolutely impcrvious to attack.
Her enemy can not tell where she is, OF
when she may blow her to pieces. She
has absolutely no means of defense.
Flight is her only resource. The Difficult
ty the underwater boat has to contend
with is that of seeing through the water.
Even now there are signs of the solution
of the problem, but cvcn if it is not over
come the boat can rise to the surface
when she likes, take a fresh observation
of her cncmy's whereabouts, and dive
down again preparatory to the final blow.

Hu-Tow-Tai, a great Chinese specula-
tor, and probaly the richest merchant in
the empire, died recently at Hang Chow.
His progress through life may have been
as prosy and uninteresting as that of any
other common millionaire, but his funeral
was. the loudest and one of the grandest
on record. At the head of the process
sion a number of coolies trudged along
carrying little scraps of paper upon which
short sentences full of wisdom and sound
advice were traced in pencil. Then fol-
lowed q crowd of lantern bearers, the
lanterns fastened at the end of long
bamboo canes. After them came a small
army of musicians with gongs, symbals
and trumpets, making noise enough to
scare the sulphur and birthstone out of
all the wicked spirits within range. Next
came a few hundred little boys, each
holding in his hand some weapon of
strange form intended for the slaughtu-
of il-disposed devils. The bearers of
the family tablets with the names of the
ancestors of the deceased marched after
the boys. Next in the procession, affairs
on wheels appeared loaded with choice
fruits, the last n bearing the portrait
of the deceased. After these affairs, two
groups of priests presented themselves,
the first dressed in white robes, richly
embroidered, and the second in scarlet
and yellow. Between these two groups
there was q crowd bearing lanterns, flags,
p~arasols indians, together with all sorts
of queer things. The master Of cere.
monies rode on horseback, and wal
dressed from head to foot In white, the
Chinese mourning. Behind him was a
large white tent carried along by strong
men, and in this the relatives concealed
their woe. At last the coffin came in
sight mounted upen q magnificent hesrse
ornamented in the most>gorgeous style,
and borne along upon the shoulders of
twenty-five mon. A large number OF
mandarins dressed in their official robes,
and carried in japanese chairs, closed the
procession.

The statement is made in some Euro
pesn papers to the effect that the Russian
Alisma, or water plantain, is a remedy
for hydrophobia. The roots are collected
in August, dried, grated and spread on
bread and butter. Two or three doses
are taken in this manner, night and
morning. and a cure is supposed to be
effected. The efficacy attributed to this
remedy is wholly imaginary. The Ais
ma family Is group of aquatic plants,
which grows in still water, with t>pering
leaves resembling those of plantain, and
rather handsome flowers. Twenty years
ago Rev. G. A. Johns, an accomplished
English botanist, wrote of this plant:
"The solid part of the root contains
f~arinaceous matter, and, when deprived
of its acrid properties by drying, is eaten
by the Kalmucks. From some f~anciful
notion that the fearful disease, hydro
phobia, could be counteracted by waite,
plants, Alisma was idly pitched on as a
specific by empires, but it is now no
longer in repute."

The American birds will feel an un-
wonted security this summer on account
Of the efforts made for their protection.
'Perhaps the most sensible move made
against the slaughter of birds for millin-
cry purposes" asserts the Boston Irapel-
~, shas been started by the Ornitholo-
gists' Union, which has organized a COM
nittee on the protection of North Ameri-
can birds for the purpose of obtaining
statistics and facts on the subject as we'll
IS to agitate. This is commendable.
Before denouncing every hat trimmed
with feathers it will be we'll to invcsti-
gate whether the birds are in reality
American songsters or are not charming
limitations manufactured from the plum
age of the American hen. Most of the
gorgeous real birds in the millinery trade
are imported from South America and
other tropical countries, and their fea-
theirs are wrought into many different
shapes by skillful designers. But there
is nothing more highly appreciated in
millinery than the American cock"

Damp Beds.

The London Lancet, referring to the
death of Mr.. Mas, the we'll known tenor,
calls attention to the peril of sleeping in
q damp bed. AS a matter of fact, this
peril is of the greatest, and it is almost
ever-prcsent. The experienced traveller
rarely hazards the risks of sleeping be.
tween sheets, which are nearly sure to
be damp, until they have been aired un-
der his personal supervision at q fire in
his bed room. If this be impracticable,
he wraps his rug around him, or pulls
out the sheets and sleeps between the
blankets disagreeable but often pru-
dent expedient. The direst mischief may
result from the contact of an imperfectly
heated body with sheets which retain
moisture. The body heat is not sufficient
to raise the temperature of the sheets to a
safe point, and the result must be disas.
trous in the extreme if, as is sure to hap
pen, the skin be cooled by contact with
q surface colder than itself and steadily
abstracting heat all the night through.
There is no excuse for the neglect of
proper precaution to insure dry beds.

matter, and the managers of hotels, ever
of the best description, are singularly
careless in respect to it.-SaentDsc amer

Nashville american, there are ten highly
bred animals to-day in the south where
there was n in 1860. The stock men
OF Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and
other southern States, where natural
grasses would flourish, entered with a
zeal and energy into this business, which
has wrought great results. The south
has now over eight hundred millions of
dollars invested in mich cows, oxen and

Tie Weaker Force Generally Worsted.

From Gen. Buell's "Shiloh Reviewed"
in the Century we quote as follows:
"Nowherc in history is the profane idea
that in a fair field fight, Providence is on
the side of the strongest battalions, more
uniformly sustained than in our civil war.
1t presents no example of the triumph of
Is, 900 or even 20, 900 men against 25, 900.
It affords some such instances where the
stronger force was surprised by rapid and
unexpected movements, and still others
where it was directed with a want of
skill against chosen positions strength
encd by the art of defence; but nowhere
else. The weaker force is uniformly de-
featcd or compelled to retire."

What is the natural term of a carp's
Gfea The question is suggested by the
announcement by the Berlin papers that
. fish of this kind has been taken from
the Spree at the age of 26s years. Some
days ago a fisher was plying his vocation
when, like his olden predecessors, he was
favored with a mighty draught. His
catch consisted of a carp beneath whose
mouth a ring was found attached.
Scratches upon the ring, we are told,
make it clear that the fish was placed in
the water in the year 1918, or nearly two
md thrce-quarters centuries ago. This
venerable inhabitant of the Spree
weighed t~hirty-six pounds, and measured
! hundred centimeters in length and
'eventy-eight centimeters in circumfer-
ence.
