Fish LIviag I'm Hot Water.

There is pond on the Lay ranch at
Golconda. which is fed by the waters
from the lot springs. This pond has
an area of two or three acres, and the
temperature of the water is about
eighty five degrees, and in some places
where the hot water bubbles up from
tie bottom the Temperature is almost
up TO the boiling point.
Recently the discovery has been made
that this warm lake is literally alive
with carp, some of which are more than
a foot long. All efforts to catch them
with hook and line have failed. as
they will not touch the most tempting
bait.
A few of them have been shot. and
contrary to the general suppos:tion. the
flesh was hard and platable. How the
fish got into the lake is a MYSTERY
unsolved. Within 100 feet of it are
springs which are boiling hot, and the
ranchers in the vicinity use the water
10 scald hogs in the butchering season.

Food for Thought.

Nearly all great men have had re-
markable memories.
There are some things that silence
alone can answer.
Small ideas and large words make a
plinful combination.
Ii is mind, soul and heart-not taste
or aIt-that makes men great.
Politeless is the distinctive attribute
OF the gentleman rudeness of the boor.
The end of man is an action and not
thought, though it were the nob,est.
One may live like conquerer, q
King, magistrate, but he must die as
man.
One good act done to day Is worth n
thousand in contemplation for SOME fu-
ture time.
The flowers strev'ed on the grave Of
merit are the most grateful incense to
living merit.
A man lives by believing something.
not by debating and arguing about
many things.
The poorest education that teaches
self'con,rol is better than the BIS. that
neglects it.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
BE vigilant. Keep ahead OF rather than
behind the time.

Real Value OF Money.

1t requires some ability 20 get moLey
in this world but, after oil it require s
less ability to get money than it does to
use it. More wisdom and skill are
shown in the using OF money than in its
accommodating. There are men of large
wealth who do not know how to use
their money either for their own hap
piness or for the good of their fellows.
There are other men who show no ac-
cumulation of riches, simply because
they have used their money wisely all
the way along in life instead of hoard
ing it. There are yet ether men who
have wealth, and who know how to use
it and there are still otEere who ale
always without money because they
have never yet known what to do with
morey when thew had it. Money is val
liable only for its using. He &ho does
not give the wise use of money the first
place in all his thoughts OF money
getting or of money having does not
know the worth of money and it mat
ters not whether he has much or little
of it.

Attacked by Squirrels.

]. l.. Culbertson, of Edwardsport, =,
Ind, relates his experience in 1854, the
time of the great migration of squir-
rels from the East to the West. H.
was young man then, and one day
took his rifle aud went about a mile
from town TO hunt. IIa was going
through the woods when he met the
army OF squirrels. They became so
thick acouni him and seemed so fear
less that he stood IN amaZement. Fin
ally he struck one with a stick. The
squirrel uttered sharp squeak, and in
stantly myriads OF squirrels from all di-
rections rushed 20 the defense of their
associates and attacked Mr.. Culbertson,
who kicked them off and clubbed at
them with his gun. They climbed up
his legs, jumped upon his back and on
the top OF his head. He fought des-
perately, but the more he succeeded in
hurting them the louder the chattering
and screaming around him became,
which only brought greater numbers of
the infuriated little animals to the at
tack. They bit his legs ard arms and
gashed his face and neck and lacerated
his hands, fairly scrsmbling over each
other in their assault. He dropped his
gun and retreated as fast as he could.
Blood streamed down his face and neck
aud hands. He got out of the woods,
and still scores followed him and clung
20 him until they were pulled off by
men in a store into which he rushed for
assistance.

The FIowery Kingdoms Morals.

Taking into consideration the millions
aud millions of people who inha5it the
Flowery Kingdom, people often wonder
why so few crimes are committed in the
Empire, and why people live such quiet,
neighbor!y lives. Petty thieving is the
most common offense, but the culprit
seldom repeats the crime IL caught the
first or second time.
Highway robbery is never repeated II
the highwayman is caught, because 1t
needs head to plan such things, and
once in the clutches or the Emperor's
magistrate the bad mans head is taken
away from him pretty quick. This is
what makes crime so unpopular in
China. So that our readers may know
how the various offences, so lightly pun
ished in the United States, are treated
In China some OF the most common
crimes are given, together with the pen
atty that follows discovery as surely as
the sun follows the moon.
Fer the first offense of petit larceny,
the eulprit receives fifty iashes on the
long and FIVE inches wide. For the
second offence lie gets 100 lashes, and
wooden collar weighing 100 pounds is
put arourd his neck. This he must
wear ninety days and ninety nights.
The wearer cannot seclude himself, but
must calls upon his friends and walk in
the streets. This Is compulsory. For
all future offenses the penalty increases
at the above rate until the prisoner is
reformed.
In simple assault and battery cases
the plaintiff mIst prove injury by show.

cence, and then it is equal to an honor
able acquittal.
An appeal for pardon on behalf of any
criminal must be made through men of
education holding diplomas from the
various colleges. In this way the wishes
OF the people reach the throne.
For mischief-makingo or blackmail the
offenders mouth is spanked" so hard
that he cannot use it for some time.
Women are the principal recipients OF
this punishment. Any kind of highway
robbery is punished by cutting Off the
head Of the offender, while forcible en-
trance with intent to do injury to person
or property is punished by exile.
Under no cIrcumstan es will the

The Beggar or Rome.

One picturesque character is generally
lacking from the hill top-the beggar.
DIRTY and charming as he may be. he is

the Nettunese from the Canipagns,
swarm to hearts content. All, but
isn't he beauty of beagar he or

steps people are of the beggar upper

tion only when their regular trade as
models beomes slack, or when the only
other allowable calling in comport with
their dignity becomes unproftable-tha.

refuse those great liquid brown eyes of
a soldo, even il he doesn't want bunch
of violets. and who anyway can refuse
TO look at the superb coloriEg of the
campaganese costumes as the models
throw themselves into the abandonment
OF a thousand unstudied postures on the
steps.
They are bonester, too, this motley
crowd, than some WHO aren't beggars
A little ragamuffin of them who takes
a liking to you will often come running
up to you with his buttohole bouquet
and, deftly sticking iS in. will oe off in
a jiffy. Astonished indeed you are the
first time this extraordinary occurrence
takes place. By and by, repeated ex-
periences show you that it is an embul-
lition Of gratitude on the part of little
Giulio or Giovanni for sundry coppers
which from time to time you've tossed
him. He'll be be glad of future toss
ings, too, for begging has no elements
of disgrace here. but as pay for his free
gift-never! Hence, joy and woe to
him who, daily passing that way, comes
TO know and fancy any of the models.
