There is nothing il. our estimation.
90 detrimental TO The welfare Of q
town or community as the jealousy OF
one business man toward another. II
does not require . very careful OBJ

waiting for an opportunity to gain q

Don't crowd each other, gentlemen,
the almighty dollar is not made for
the grave. Enjoy yourselves as you
go through the world; lend your
neighgor helping hand, for you may
need it 10 return some day, and when
the time comes for you to be laid
away "among the rude forefathers of
the hamlet" let the urn of your ashes
be blessed with the memory of deeds
OF kindness you have done towards
your fellow man. Business can be
made a pleasure when men wish to
make it so; but local jealousy must
not be admitted into either Auisiness
or social circles. 1t requires an united

The summit of ,fount Tacoma.

The view was ineXpressibly grand and
comprehensive, although the whole land
scapS, below an altitude Of 5000 feet,
was swallowed up in a sea OF vapor,
leaving the higher mountains standing
out like islands, as we had seen them the
night before. An occasional gust Of wind
would ear open the veil for a few mo-
ments, exposing TO momentary view the
precipitous canyons and crags for thou
sands Of feet down the mountains sides.
We seemed to be floating in a dark blue
ocean, having no connection with the
earth below, and the mountain appeared
70 rest gently upon its encompassing
clouds.
The narrow ridge upon which We stood
was the dividing line between two era
tiers, nearly circular, opening out to the
east and the west, their rims inclining
from each other at an angle Of about
fifteen degrees. The western crater, the
larger of the two, was some four hun
dred yards in diameter, and filed with
snow up to within sixty feet of its rocky
edges. Occasional small jets Of steam, IL
suing from the base Of its ragged walls,
gave evidence Of former volcanic activ'
ity. We could look down into the other
and slightly smaller crater, also, whose
rocky walls, like those of its neighbor,
stood ont bare and distinct above the
snow throughout their entire periphery,
Jets of steam were rising from this one
also at various place s.-George Bayley In

story OF James Gordon Bennett. Jr.

death the other day, which was promptly
c~ontradicted by The Herald, reminds me
of a story Of that. distinguished Ameri-
can editor which has never been pub
lished, but which is more than worthy Of
publication. In 1874 n party Of artists
and Rohemians were studying in Paris
The winter was very cold, and business
dull in the extreme. Most of them We're
very impecuniouS: the minority were on
the point Of starvation. The brightest
and happiest of the party, "Cal' Blume,
now an artist of distinction and consider
able wealth, was the poorest Of the lot.
He was too proud to borrow, and had no
income except from the sale OF his pict-
ures-and these no one would buy.
The coolest day Of the week some OF
his fellow artists called upon him in his
garnet and found him hard at work as
usual. There was no fire in the room, the
ice upon the paneS was q half inch thick,
and even the water in his pitcher was
frozen solid. To keep himself alive,
Cal had pinned n rug around him, and
tied towels and blankets about his legs
until he resembled n case of ~elephantiasiS.
His lunch consisted of dry bread, and
very little of that. Two of the party took
pity upon the poor fellow, and hearing
that the proprietor of The Herald was in
Paris, called and put the facts before
him. The next day Mr. Bennett drove
around in his carriage to Gals" lodg-
ings and examined the pictures. He
priced two. "Cal' offered the pair for
fifty francs. The editor smiled and shiv-
cred and promised to send round for
them. An hour after, his secretary
called, took the WI c~anvasses and handed
the paralyzed artist $4,000 francs. That
night the Latin Quarter was r~oseate, and
from that time on Cal took the position
he has ever since held so wel.-The Jour

s,ou, children breaking Colts.

One who visits the Sioux Indians in
their Dakota reservations may find chill
dren employed IN breaking colts. The
boys and girls together take a young colt
when only three or four months old and
begin with him. A lariat is tied Indian
fashion with a slip moose TO the under
Jaw. A small bundle Is then placed upon
the colts back, or the children arrange a
pair Of light trevice poles over the colts
shoulders, letting the ends drug on the
ground; then the poles are tied to his
back, and attached TO q wicker work
platform OF basket and q weight Is placed
In il. Sometimes In place Of a weight
three OF four dogs are put into the wicker,
and very often the children get in. The
colt runs and plunges and kicks in all
directions, then lies down and rolls over.
Sometimes three or four children viii
climb upon his back, md by and by such
q tumbling scene Is witnessed as would
make every boy and girl reader cry with
laughter-the children flying n way
and blankets the other.-Ameriean Agrf-
culturist.

NATURE THE GREAT TEACHER.
Mans Mechanical Devices Have Lons
Ago Been Anticipated by Nature.

Ago Been Anticipated by Nature.
Rev. J. G.. Wood, in his new book,
Natures Teachings" has discussed Il
subject not before handled ut length. Its
object is to show how mans implements
and mechanical devices have been antici-
pated in nature. He asserts that there
is no invention Of man which Is not an
ticiputed, that all his mechanical devices
have been used in nature for countless
centuries. He claims that the great dis
coverers of the future will be those who
carefully study the natural world.
The burr stones Of mills are u copy OF
molar teeth. The hoofs Of a horse are
made of parallel plates like a carriage
spring. The finest file made by man Is q
rough affair when compared with tho
Dutch rush used by cainetmakers. The
Jaws Of the turtle and tortoise are natu-
raj scissors. Rodents have chisel teeth,
and hippopotami have adZe teeth, which
are constantly repaired rs they are worn.
The carpenters plane is anticipated by
the jaws Of n bee. The woodpecker has "a
powerful little hammer. The diving
bell only initiates the work Of the water
spider. This insect, although a. easily
drowned rs any other, spends u great
part Of its life under water. Having con
structed u small cell under the water, IL
clasps Il bubble of mir between its last
pair Of legs and dives down to tho en-
trance of it, cell, into which the bubble Is
put. a proportionate amount OF water
is thus displaced, and when all Of It Is ex-
PEELED the little animal takes up its abode
in this subaqueous retreat.
In laying its eggs on the water, the
gnat combines them In o mass shaped
somewhat like u lifeboat. IL IL impossi-
BILE to sink il without tearing 1t to pieces.
The iron mast OF a srn ship is
strengthened by deep rib running along
its interior. A porcupine quill Is
strengthened by similar ribs. When
engineers found that hollow beams were
stronger than solid ones, they only dis.
covered q principle which had been used
in nature for centuries before the crea-
ton Of man. A wheat straw, II solid,
could not support n heavy head. The
bones of the higher animals, IL solid,
would have TO be q great deal heavier TO
bear the weight which they have TO sup
port. The frame work Of n ship resembles
the skeleton OF n herring, and he who
would improve aerial navigation might
study the skeleton Of a bird with advan-
tage. Palsy made q careful study OF
the shells by the seaside, in order TO learn
the best method Of terrifying a town.
The ship worn feeds on wood, and
gradually tunnels its way through any
submerged timber. IL also lines its bur.
row with n hard, shelly coating. Brunei,
taking a hint from this, was the first 70
succeed in ~subaquatic tunneling. The
Eddytsone lighthouse Is built on the plan
of a tree trunk, and fastened TO the rock
in a manner somewhat similar TO the
way n tree is fastened to the soil. II Is
supposed that the first idea Of q suspen-
sion bridge was suggested by the creep
ers Of a tropical forest. -WilmiDgton Col

The Race OF Martyrs Not Extinct.

Accounts Of the massacre Of Catholic
missionaries and converts in southern
China show that the race Of martyrs is
by TO means extinct. Father Terrace,
who had lived for nine years in Iunnan,
when u mob surrounded his house at
night, gathered his followers in the
chapel, gave the last dissolution, went to
the door, and presenting himself TO the
rabble, said: Here am | TO answer for
all." He was ut nee cut down by
sabres. Father Bechet, n young priest in
Tongking, saw a number OF his converts
beheaded, and then, refusing to DO bosnd
or blindfolded, offered his neck 10 the eX
ecutioner without a tremor. Father Chate
let, ordered TO descend 10 the place OF exc
cution as hundreds OF his converts had
done, said: II shall not go SO far, lfyou
want my head come and get It," The
swords made short work OF him where he
stood.-New York Sun.

HOMES NORTH AND SOUTH.
The Northerncr's Business Shit and tho
Southerner's Clean Linen.

SOutncrners CIean LincH'
The past twenty-five years have
wrought another marked change. OF
old, it was the southerner that Travelled
like q prince, with 4 quite inappropriate
magnificence of attire. But now to the
north belong the splendor and arrogance.
The northern man in his neat travelling
suit, and the northern woman in her
iaunty tailor gown, need not feel abaShcd
at being confronted by q host of friends
at their journeys end. They are not
shabby and crumpled and travel-stained,
after the manner of the southerner, who
is apt to wear a caSt-off suit for such pur-
poses, clearly reasoning that it is the di-
vine right to be dowdy when travelling.
But, in the same journey, the northerner
will feel perfectly rehabilitated when he
has dOnned fresh collars and cuffs; while
the southerner's sense of comfort will de
mand q complete change of linen.
The average northerner, while neateT
in his dress than the average southerncr,
is not so clearly in his person. One does
not see in southern cities the crowds of
well dressed men in trim business suits
that are such a feature of the north; but
the i~rreproachable linen of the southerner
will testify to the truth of the above
statement.
Northern houses are undoubtedly bet
ter Kept than those Of the south. Tie
housekeeper is full of the religion Of
soap and water. She ''goes for" a roach
or a bug with a fury of zeal; a speck in
the paint is like a blot on her soul; a fly
is pursued from corner TO corner until
killed. Sweeping day m around
with n regularity thPt savors Of the laws
of the inevitable; and one feels that il
cleanliness is next to godliness, the good
housewife has worked out her salvation,
One feels that she will never adopt the
motto, "Let sleeping dust lie"
Yet an i'll kept southern house will
often be more Of a home than the north
ern house with its shining paint and
| spotless walls; infinitely ~shabbier, as a
rule, because the things have worn out,
instead of rusting u
Among the farming classes in the rural
districts of the north, there is q strongly
marked tendency to occupy the rear por-
ton of the house, so that from the front
it presents an uninhabited appearance;
and they make the kichen a family gather
ing point. This is never done in the
south, even by those that do not keep
servants; but perhaps for this the climate
is to be thanked. One cannot but pity
people that have a best room,n with the
atmosphere of q vault, too sacred to be
opened except on feast days.-Marion A.

The leading yernacular journals OF
Japan agree in regarding the recently
issued regulations for the sale Of land in
Hokkaido as most important. Apromin-
emit purpose of these regulations is to pre-
vent the purchase Of large tracts by
spectators who have no intention of en-
gaging in agricultural pursuits, but
merely contemplate holding land with
the hope of a rise in its value. To obvi-
ate such speculation, the area purchas-
able by one person is now limited TO
100, 900 stubo, or about eighty acres,
and it is also provided that Official
inspections shall be made annually with
