Julia De Force was chip of the d block.
The very same unbending will, indomi able
courage, untiring energy and wise strategy
that had made her father one Of our ablest
generals during the civil war had been be-
queathed to her at her birth, together with
her fathers lofty brow, finely chiseled nose,
and lips far too thin to be handsome in a
woman but for the proud curl that gave
beauty TO the mouth, as well as strength 20
the expression, and made one acknowledge
them very kissable in spite of the scorn in
their downward curve Her eyes were blue
and deep, though not uncommonly large:
her hair, gold brown and full of sunshine:
her form, slender and graceful, with car
riage reproduced from her father, dignifed
and stately, the pose and step of queen.
Julia loved, and loved against her fathers
will.
He is old enough to be your father, YOU
consummate idiot! and only seeks you for the
sake Of my money and influence to aid his
ambitious projects. Besides, he is failure,
forty and a nobody" said the father, in a
burst of Indignation at what he chose to
term his daughters folly.
He is not boy, ! will admit father, and
have yet to learn If boys are just the right
material for husbands. But that he is a
failure / positively deny" said The daughter
in tone whose pride and scorn seemed but
an echo of the words he had just uttered
IF success in money making were all in
life, hes would, indeed, be a magnificent
failure, for his spirit is too high to stoop TO
the petty cares and dirty tricks so aIl-im-
portant to those who would gain wealth
But in all that makes man, he is a grand
success. He is scholar of the largest cul-
ture, lawyer of the finest ability, a poet of
no mean capacity; and, moreover, these
things, though his-greatest, are not his only
success, for he has succeeded in gaining

as the ground to the depth of nearly 100
feet to the bed rock is known to be con-
tinually sliding. 1t iss weli-known fact
among practical miners that the ground
on which irginia City is built is what is
termed slide, and that it is necessary to
sink nearly 100 feet before finding the
natural bed rock. These slides ara
caused by the constant crumbling es the
rocks on the mountain sides The debris
thus accumulated through incalculable
ages is constantly grayiiating downward,
and in few hundred thousands of years
what Is known as the site of Virginia
City will be nothing but barren bed rock.

A Novel scientific Enterprise.

A novel enterprise is to be set afoot
early in the new year in England,
whereby an opportunity will be afforded
to those who have money and leisure to
enjoy travelling in a peculiar way. A
vessel has been chartered which will
carry some fifty first-class passen-
gers, accompanied by an artist, photog-
faPher, geoiogist, a mineralogist, q
botanist, q zoologist, and others, who
viii explore and collect wherever oppor-
tunity offers, but more especially in dis
tricts practically unvisited hitherto.
The first voyage will last twelve
months. There Will be no hurrying over
ground where anything valuable to SCI
enoe or art can De obtained, and at inter-
walls the voyagers will have the oppor-
tunlty of breaking up into sections and
landing, when either the beauties of
rivers or the life and scenery Of coasts
can be studied and enjoyed. The collec-
tions made on the voyage will be care
fully preserved for subsequent exhibition
or for presentation to museums.-Nsw

No earthly lover have known.
No breath from passions dusky wtnes
Has swept my heart, and wakened there
Responsive tremblings in It's strings
never knew the touch OF hands
Thrilling along my veins like IRE;
Within my silent soul has slept
All hope. all passion. all desire.
The wisdom Of the busy world
never learned; the ways OF men,
Their ;Ortuous paths, their soriid needs
Are all beyond my beings ken
For have sat with Christ apart.
And dreamed but of his loveliness
To rue the glory OF his face
Has banisheI longing for the less
He llls the midnight and the morn
Constant, inefiable, serene;
The hush Of his soft eyes would still
The migh;iest tumult life has seen
Floats 20 me music from his voice
Like echoes from the heavenly psalms,
And down into my It'll heart sinks
The silence OF celestial calIns
Nhene'er the censer swings feel
His breath upon my pallid cheek
When roll the organ notes hear
His voice adown still spaces speak.
ltremble when the host l. raised,
For then greet him face to face;
Too great the glory. and fall
Entranced before his matcnless gracc
But In the cloister's stiIled hour
A dearer presence. dim, divine,
Steals sometimes on my waiting soul,
Which feel mine. mine, only mine;
And then In raptured pain hold
Him to my heart and melt away;
The world Is gone and heaven Is mine,
I'LL on my eyes Is forced the day.
Divinest raptures fellow me
For days ~hen sach a glimpse Is mine
OF Hin the Bridegroom whom wait,
Lordly, ineffable, divine.
The stony noors grow soft as down,
The narrow cell expands like thought,
Eternity seems all too brief,
For being with his own mwrought.
Oh. blessed Bridegroom, I espouse,
One glimpse Of thee may well suffice
To nll this little space OF time,
And ravish these adoring eyes.
One moment Of thy presence flls
The little remnant Of my days
Then clasped in thy enfolding arms
AL heaven shall hear my songs OF praise.

one cold day In January poor sailor
was standing coatless outside a lodging
house near the pier ut Gravesend He had
not only spent all his money, but had
parted with his coat Gordon saw him,
shriveled with the wisi, and found on in
quiry that he was waiting for ship to go
TO sea again. What arrangement he made
with the man no one knows. but an eye
witness saw Gordon take off his own coat
place It on the sailor. and walk back to
tho fort house in his shirt sleeves An
other time. when the winter Goals were
being delivered at the fort house, Gordon
noticed that one of the men was very i'll
clad. His boots were ragged and his
trousers Thin and tattered The man was
wet and grimy, and altogether an evil
case Gordon rugged him out, and his
kindness was not misplaced. for when the
next coal delivery took place Gordon no
ticed that the boots and the trousers were
both being worn. and made the remark:
Il am pleased 20 see that you are wearing
the clothes | gave you and have not sold
them
Some people seem TO think that the fact
Of Gordon bounties occasionally benefit
ting the ungrateful and the unfit is re.
Election on his acuteness and his common
sense. So far from This assumption being
justified. il appears that Gordon deliber-
ately incurred the danger of being de-
ceived for the chance of thrust at real
distress. Once when walking through
the hospital wards one hot summers day,
Gordon noticed sick man tortured by
flies lighting on his face. Saying moth
ing, he went out and bought fan. which
he gave 10 the nurse for the sick man.
that he may get little rest" That
sick man still possesses the fan which
Gordon obtained for him; and he prizes
IL dearly

Decline of Paris Japanese Craze.

For some time past there has been a
great craze in Paris for Japanese art, and
the most fantastic prices have been paid
for vases and netzkes and Hokusai al
buns. Lately the craze has been de-
cining; two or three collections have
been sold very poorly at the Hotel Drouot;
the commercial amateurs who buy for
speculative purposes have ceased to col
lect, and so the dealers are left with
heavy stocks on their hands.-Paris

Do Boiled Snail. Cure Consumption.

Nobody knows anything about medi-
cines, not even about the specifics, ex-
cept that they do as rule produce GER
tain results; and the public, therefore, il
it can quote, or fancies it can quote, re-
suits, thinks itself just as well informed
as the doctors. Boiled snails do cure
consumption, for Mrs. Browns daughter
was cured by boiled snails, and there.
for the public, is an end of that matter.
Very few people can judge evidence,
and when the few who can remain silent,
as doctors do, they never appealing to
the public except upon one or two sub
jects, like vaccination and cholera, the
majority think all evidence good The
main cause, however, is, we believe, one
met with in many departments Of
thought, and that is simply human con-
ceit. We none of us know what q world
this would be if everybody formed his
own opinion upon every subject Of con-
cern.-The Spectator.
Rsdicai Fault of Our Education.
The radical fault of our public system
of education, and indeed Of our whole
social system, is that the first Is based
upon mere book knowledge and excludes
khe idea of manual labor, and that the
second sympathizes with it. 1t presup-
poses that every boy is going to make his
living outside of productive industry by
mental plotting and scheming or by
mere mechanical routine behind the
desk or counter. The manual training
system will change all of this. Its arst
xesplt will be TO make labor respectable.

NEW USES FOUND FOR OLD JUNK.

Scraps Of Tin and Iron Worked Over Into
Many Useful Articles.
Small boys with their arms heaped full
of scraps of old tin, bits of iron, and
similar pieces of riff rsff, gathered in the
streets, amid men and woman Juggling
big baskets piled full of the same kind
of freight, kept traversing Goerck street
all day, bearing their strange burdens to
the door of an unconth two-story brick
building. At the doorway stood q
shaggy haired man In working clothes,
who took in all the miscellaneous stun
that came, and paid cash for it on the
spot.
An affable young man said that he
knew the secret Of the old mans
purchase.
HGreat idea" he cried, 1and lots Of cash
In it. 1t is new scheme to utilize all
the waste metal of Gotham that formerly
used to go to the dogs because nobody
was smart enough to find out that they
could save the United States 1900, 600
year outlay, That's what 1t has cost to
import Taggard iron and tin from Eng
land and Germany. We have discovered
that we can make this sort of iron and
tin out of old cans and other things
Just as well and very much cheaper than
it can be made out Of the original ore"
aAnd how do you do it,' was asked.
Nothing easier,' the affable young
man said. ave put the waste material
in an oven or crate heated by q furnace,
and beat it with rollers until all the ex-
traneous material Is removed. 1t Ia al
lowed to cool after that, and the scraps
are sorted out according to the uses to
which they are to be put. The metal
sheet remnants are passed under q rub
ber-coated roller and fattened out. Then
they are piled in packs and slid between
chilled iron rollers to reduce their thick
ness. After that they are annealed, shot
through the rollers again, and then
trimmed and finished of and packed
ready for shipment anywhere The sheets
can be jspanned, or timed, OF galvan-
lied, or treated in any way that the ma
terial made from the original is treated"
what is it used for after it is finished"
@Lots of things Out of the iron we
make buttons, lye-cans, umbrella tips,
shoe-lace ends, show cards, telephones,
electric lights, and letter boxes.
OF the Tin we make butter dishes, tops Of
paint and milk cans, and similar small
ware. 1t costs $40 box to import the
tin, which is just double what we can
make it for. Tho tin can also be made
up for ferrotypes ut selling price Of SIS
q box of 1l2 pounds. The kind that
comes from England and costs from SIS
to $50 box. There is a bonanza in 1t,
and the proof is the profit, after paying
the expense of manufacture, is az, 900
on $1,000 boxes Of the iron when made
from the waste material, and sold at an
average of s. a box"-New York Sun.

since no one observed the actin fact it
was done in a very quiet manner. One
might have noticed also, If one had been of
an inquiring mind, which ons seldom is in
warm weather, that tbs key to the other
door was that day on the outside, a some-
what unusual occurrence. Kate had ex-
cused herself, and was in the back parlor,
running her fair fingers lightly over the piano
keys, and Julia sat at the table-the place
next the hall docr-eating her dinner She
was dressed in a pretty white muslin, her
usual home dinner dress in summer time,
though this was a new one, first worn that
day. The meal had proceeded quietly for
some time when the gate was heard to open
and close, and many steps at the door pro-
claimed the arrival Of more than one caller
Julia, from her seat, could see that it was
the gallant major, accompanied by the min
lister of their church and his wife, which fact
was not disclosed to the rest Of the family.
Excuse me, mother, have company"
she said, rising Upon going cut she closed
the door after her, "a very uncalled-for pro-
ceeding," thought the mother, but again, the
occupants of the dining room failed to per-
ceive key turn in the lock--in fact the
keyhole was oiled But shortly after her
departure the generals quick ear discovered
e sound like one praying in the front parlor,
and as Miss Julia's company were not
usually noted for piety he started to investi-
gate the matter Trying the doors. be found
them both locked, which somewhat aston
ished him. But as his self-respect would
neither allow him to leap from the window
nor make an outcry, he sat down and fin
ished his dinner. Presently a part of the
company withdrew, and Kate made her
appearance, looking perple1ed and amused
at the same time
General your eldest daughter has out
generated you," was her greeting
