The number of London city mission
aries is now 463, and every missionary
visits once a month about $50 families,
or 1000 persons. Their work is to pio-
neer a path among the most wretched
and debased of our fellow creatures. in
which the pastor may in due time fol-
low. Among the special duties of these
missionaries are to attend the deathbed
of those who are dying uncared for, to
distribute tracts, to see that the children
attend a school and to see that no family
is without the Word of God. The society
has now appointed special missionaries to
visit soldiers, sailors, bakers, actors,
coachmen, grooms, cabmen, omnibus
men and canal boatmen, and to look
after the spiritual needs of the Germans,
French, Italians, Swedes, Spaniards,
Jews and Orientals, and, indeed, all for.
eigners resident in London. Twenty
five missionaries have exclusively been
commissioned to visit coffee shops and
public houses. From the summary OF
the work of the society for the year il
appears that more than 5000, 900 calls
have been made, 1850, 900 tracts dis.
tributed and l,075 drunkards reclaimed.

Panthers in California.

Partners are very abundant on the Nc
Cloud river, and very destructive to
stock, especially to pigs; and from the
experience we have had with them here,
1 should say that in this region at least
they very seldom climb trees. They are
perfectly well able to, but they can jump
into a tree so much quicker and easier
than they can climb into it, that they
very seldom if ever resort to climbing. /
think they would consider it slow work.
The hunters here assert very positively,
and stick to it, that panthers can jump
to the limb of a tree twenty or thirty
feet from the ground. and as all the trees
about here. have limbs nearer the ground
than that, it is obvious that u pantliers
would have very little occasion to resort
to the slow process of climbing. But in
other parts of the country, where the
trees grow to a greater height without
branches, there is hardly a doubt, l
think, that panthers climb up the trunks
of the trees when necessity for it occurs.
But wen then l fancy that they jump
the first twenty feet or more up the trees.
They must certainly be able to climb
trees whenever they want to, for their
claws and limbs are much stronger COM
pared with the weight of their bodies
than is the case with our ommon house
cat, which climbs trees easily enough

There We're once twelve Normans who
travelled together, not one of whom had
ever seen the sea. One day they came
to a field spread with bleaching linen and
concluded it must be the blue water.
Brothers" said they, 1--WE must swim
across" Removing their garments and
making bundles of them, which they
bore on their heads, they took hold of
each others hands and commenced wad-
ing through. First they counted their
party. You and l are one, he and the
other two, and so on" said they, but no
could enumerate more than eleven
this way. Thinking that one of their
party had dropped out and would join
them later they crossed the sea of linen
and again proceeded to the enumeration.
They were still unable to find more than
eleven, though each n tried, You and
l are one" etc. Finally one of them
said, brothers, l have it. We will take
twelve clods of dirt, and each one stick
his nose in his own clod. If there are
twelve noses each clod will be used"
This plan succeeded, and they found
themselves twelve in numbe.-F. S. Bas-
sett in Globe-D Democrat.

The Aztecs of the time of Cortez were
in many respects a superior people. They
cultivated the ground. They had a king
and a form of government, laws, courts,
and tribunals, immense and costly pub
lie buildings. Their king and the chief
tains lived in all the glittering splendor
of eastern monarchs. Their wealth in
gold when the Spaniards first entered the
country was almost fabulous. Their
dresses were made dazzling with wrought
gold and beautifully colored feather work
and plumage of birds. They were wor-
shippers of the sun, and their practices
of superstition were most cruel and hor-
rible. Every city of note contained a
Teocallis, or tower of sacrifice. The
towers at Cholula and Tenochitlan each
covered nearly an acre of ground, and
were several stories in height. On
these towers the sacred fire was
ever kept burning. On IN open battle
ment o u~nenclosed area on the top of
each tower, in plain view of the whole
city round about, stood the idols or gods,
and also the s~acrifcial stone. Scores of
priests and executioners at certain sea-
sons of the year assembled on this open
area, and the broad, winding outside
stairways were crowded with thousands
of human victims awaiting their turn.
These enormous sacrifices made it
necessary for the Aztecs to remain at
perpetual war with neighboring tribes,
as the prisoners taken in battle supplied
the victims, and when they fell short of
what was needed for sacrifice, the num-
Der lacking a TO be drawn from their
own ranks. The manner of sacrifice was
so horrible that war was hailed with a
n of relief and joy by every Aztec,
Torture of victims was not practiced by
them, except as a sacred duty. They
did not have their war dances and gloat
owe sufferings at the stake as do the
rowing tribes of our own day.-New
York Post.

The Indian Not Revengeful.

People make false estimates of the In
dams character. The Indian is not re-
vengeful, but in war he will take all the
advantages he can over his enemy. So
will a white man. There is no such
thing as %treachery in the Indians char
acter. He will. as l say, take advantage
of the white man, but so will the white
man take advantage of any man.
l have 1875 Indians in my camp; how
do I c~ivilize theml l have them under
control, and they are disciplined as
strictly as any body of soldiers. There
is no trouble in managing Indians, if you
know how to do it. l never have any
trouble with them because l obey the
first principle of business; l treat them
%squarely. l neve make a promise to
them that l do not keep, and l am
treated well in return. l would rather
loan money to an Indian than to a white
mani think the chances of the Indian
returning it are much better. w. F.

With Men as with Trees

1t is with men al with trees: if you
lop off their finest branches, into which
they were pouring their young life juice,
the wounds will be healed over by some
rough boss, some odd excrescence, and
what might have been a grand tree ex-
panding into liberal shade is but a whim-
steal misshapen trunk, Many an irritat-
ing fault, many an unlovely oddity, has
come of a hard sorrow, which has
crushed and MANNED the nature Just
when it was expanding into pl%enteous
beauty; and the trivial, erring life which
we visit with u harsh blame, may be
but as the unsteady motion of a man
whose best limb is withered. George
Eliot.

Firecrackers from China,

Firecrackers come from China, where
the country people manufacture them as
a pastime, as the Germans do toys. They
are imported in boxes similar to tea
chests, the ~hieroglyphics on them repre-
senting advertisements of different firms,
and they a.e used as ballast for the ships
that bring them over. An idea may be
obtained Of the utter impossibility of
competition when n is informed hat it
costs but two cent to make a pack of
frecrackers there. The Chinese were ac-
q%uainted, as We all know, with the use
of g%unpowder long before its introduction
into Europe in the Thirteenth century,
and the peasants have been for so mary
generations adept in the art of making
firecrackers that it has become, we might
say, second nature. Brooklyn Eagle.

An experienced and highly respected
physician gave me a valuable hint the
other day which others may find as use
full as l did. Il am convinced" said
he, mot only from practical personal ex-
perience, but on theoretically scientific
grounds also, that a safeguard against
much prevalent summer illness lies in
the free use of lemon juice. Citric acid
helps to supply the place of the fluids
which are unduly ~dissipated through the
pores Of the skin in hot weather. Eat
plenty Of lemons and you can stand the
heat infinitely better than those who do
not make use of the fruit with which ma
ture has supplied tropical countries. -

The Argentine Republics Progress.

The wonderful Argentine Republic is
setting up to rival the United States, and
bids fair to succeed. During 1887 it
built 5000 miles of railroad, a one item
of progress. Its immigration bids fair
this year to reach 200, 900, or one-third
as many as will land in our territory.
They have 1900 public schools, with
$50, 900 pupils. The larger cities are
lighted with electricity, and well sup
piled with telephones and telegraphs.
During last year 1900 vessels entered
the ports. There is also a ''sIrplus of
the revenue" This will never do, for
the Argentiners will be appointing COM
missioners to look after u affairs in due
time, as we proposed in Garfield's day to
look after the welfare of South Ameri-
can states.-Globe- Democrat.

An array of high-priced legal talent
has begun long contest over theWidow
Stewards estate, which ex-Judge Hilton
has rightfully or wrongfully appropri-
ated. Mrs. Stewards niece is not salts
fed with her $50, 900, but wants the will
set aside as having been fraudulently OBJ
tanned; one Of the nephews, brother of
the present contestant, entered suit for
the same purpose, though on different
grounds, six months ago. It would not
surprise many people if the two Stewart
wills were still in litigation after Judge
Hilton's death, for he is getting on in
years now. Meanwhile the big white
marble mansion at Fifth avenue and
Thirty fourth street is closely curtained
and suffered, and no one goes in or out
but the old butler. 1t is literally house
OF death-a marble grave. How every
dream of A. It. Stewards later days has
been dissipated. His marble mansion is
nothing but a gloomy tomb, the work
ing womens home that he planned and
set a1oat thousands for has been turned
into fashionable hotel, in which single
meal costs as much as he meant to charge
for full weeks board His scheme for
a grand cathedral seat and educational
centre at Garden City is all but fiat
failure, and the dry goods house that
he made known the world over is now
merely a Renaissance. Even his bones,
weary after a lifetime of drudgery, are
hidden no one knows where.
There is rest in the grave for the
weary, but not for the wealthy.
