In any enumeration of the industrial
institutions of our city, the Photographic
establishment of j. G.. Rasmussen must
not be omitted Though only entering
its fifth year, the growth of MIR. Rssmus-
sens business has been such that today it
is something more than an ordinary pho
tographic business, and the contrast
which this growth of rs between the neat
and unpretentious gallery of 1891, man
aged by Mr.. Rasmussen and one assist
ant and the busy establishment of 1886,
uecessitating a working torce of nine
people, is indeed pleasant one. At this
period il is "A rare exception where any
business that mas had a remarkable growth
is not the result OF an industrious and in
teilipen. effort. Mr., Rasmussen's success
is is not an exception, but is based on
hard work and an experience dating from
the fall of 1887. He has been fortunate
in his professional associations, having

.TvpEs FROM BOHEMIA.

Representatives Of . Glass ~ Literary
Minds which r. Fast Dying Out.
''Homer is recognized as the father
of Bohemians. Dante and Tasso were
Bohemians, and SO was Cervsntes, the
greatest humorist the world ever pro-
duced. Plato, the philosopher, was
one; so was Voltaire, and so was Rous-
seau, the famous French sentimentalist
Boccaccio was one, ditto Moliere, the
French dramatist. Shakespeare was an
out and out Bohemian. Goldsmith was
q right jolly one. Sterne, the humOrist,
was sort of one, and SO was Swift, the
great satirist Bobbie Burns, the
poet, was a born Bohemian; SO
were Shelley, Byron and Tom Moore.
Charles Lamb, the essayist, was q lively
one, and SO was Tom Hood. Dickens was
one, and Swinbourne is the liveliest one
England has to-day. Nearly all the
French poets, novelists, journalists, act
ors and artists are Bohemians. Victor
Hugo was . pretty live one in his
younger days. Emile lola, the great
realistic novelist, is the leading Bohe-
milan in France to-day. The Germans
don't go much on Bohemian life and the
Bohemians have no use for Germany, or
for Russia, Spain, Austria and Turkey. A
Bohemian, to exist at all, must enjoy full
liberty of speech, and liberty of speech
is altogether out of the question in
those countries. America has pro-
duced her share Of Bohemians. We are
getting as bad as Paris. Every little city
has its list of them. Poe. Willis,
Huffman and Halleck, all well-known
poets, were true BOhemians. Fitz
James o. Brien, poet and story-writer,
was one. Artemus Ward. the king
American humorist, was a Bohemian of
the first water. Walt Whitman is as
great one as the world ever produced.
Mark Twain and Bret Harte belong to
the order, and so does Willie Winner,
poet and dramatic critic. Bill Nye is
an easy-going Bohemian, and so is Opie
P. Read, the humorist and story-writer.
Joaquin Miller ranks as one and so
does George Alfred Townsend, better
known as Gath But the woods are

our newspapers are men who are
recognized as Bohcmians out and out. !"
care there any female Bohemians?"
Certainly. George Sand, the great
est of all French novelists, was simon
pure Bohemian, and so was George
Eliot, the greatest novelist England
ever produced. Sarah Bernhard is the
cleverest of all female Bohemians, and
a right brilliant one she is, too. Nearly
all of our actresses are BOhemians; it's
in their nature. Laura Don was beau
tiful one, and Clara Morris is great
one. But enough! You know what a
Bohemian is now.'-Cincinnati En-

Don't worry, my son, don't worry.
Don't worry about something that you

you may die tonight, and tomorrow
will find you beyond the reach of worry.
Don't worry over thing that happened
yesterday, because yesterday is a hum

it, just try to reach after it and bring it
back. Don't worry about any thing that
is happening to-day. because to-day will
only last fifteen or twenty minutes. If
you don't believe it, tell your creditors
you'll be ready to settle in full with
them at sunset. Don't worry about
things you can't help, because worry
only makes them worse. Don't worry

there's no need to worry. Don't worry

A Good Thing for the Agents.

There's another scheme to get money
out of imaginary heirs to great prop

stake is an estate here valued all the

The property is alleged to be chiefly
around Mercer street, poor street just
west of Broadway. There it covers
about one hundred acres, and there's
some more in Jersey. 1t was owned by
Moses Mercer, Scotchman, in 17G0,
and was leased for ninety-nine years.

ors, and all went well save the supply
of mail matter, which came to hand
only once a week. Petition after petit
ton was forwarded to Washington
urging the necessity of increasing the
mail supply, but the department,
was deaf to all entreaties, and made
no reply whatever to the re-
peated demands. Every body was
in indignant despair, when Prof.
George A. Treadweli, noted
mining engineer, undertook the ap-
parentiy impossible task of securing
daily mail.
The professor went to work deliber-
ately to prepare supply of tin and
wooden boxes, and at each outgoing
mail forwarded to the Postmaster-Gen-
eral the finest obtainable samples of
Arizona products of horned toads. liz
ards, centipedes, scorpions and taran-
tulas finally winding up with an extra
ordinary specimen of the rattlesnakG
species. Each of these was accompan.
led by long and graphic description.
from the scientific standpoint of its orr
gin, genus, HABITS. etc.. and to each
letter was added postscript: Il shall
keep up the supply as long as Arizona
furnishes any thing novel or strange,
or until our mail facilities are properly
increased"
The officials of the department were
at first pleased by the packages of nat
ural curiosities, and did not catch on
to the drift of the thing until the twen-
ty-seventh specimen, a fine rattlesnake,
came safely to hand. Then new light
broke in upon the post office people.
and they became immensely tired OF
the hOnOred toads and '.sich." The
professor was duly visited by letter
of thanks for his contribution to science
and the suggestion politely made that
the Postmaster would take it
as favor if he would cease RENTING
any more specimens. A postscript,
however. was added by the correspond
ing clerk, which read about as follows:
''For Heavens sake, don't send any
more of this sort of stuff and you can
have any thing in the department you
want" Mail service was increased to
daily, and no more insects or reptile
consignments were received Wash
