Optimistic View of Life.

Putting aside the question of revealed
religion, poets and philosophers have be-
gun to see a dignity in human nature, a
wisdom and beauty in life as we know
it, and to abandon those dark and dan
gerous speculations which most COM
monty lead thought into gloom and de-
spondency. Things exist according to
fixed laws, some of which we have dis
covered and know to be just. We reason,
therefore, that those laws which We
have not yet penetrated, and may never
penetrate, whose manifestations seem
cruel and unjust, would, if properly I'M
derstood, be found equally beneficent.
Let us, therefore, obey those laws which
we comprehend, bear with patience that
which we control, hold fast to the happi-
ness which comes in our way, and MOI
trouble ourselves too much about the
mysteries of our existence.
Especially let us recognize ourselves as
a part of humanity. Let us be charita-
bic and sympathetic, SO that others will
grant us similar favors and the sum of
happiness be increased. Let us not curse
men for faults for which from the ma
ture of humanity they are not response
bic. Let us rather study the causes of
those faults and try if there be remedies
for them. Let us consider that nations
are only aggregations of single men,
each of whom is bound by the same
limitations as ourselves .-Charles Lotin

WHERE THEY KEEP COOL.
In the Cellar of a Cincinnati Brewery
Reporters Experience.


Tn the Cellar of a Cincinnati Brewery-A
Reporters Experience.
The place that is nearest the north pole in
summer time is the beer cellar of q brewery.
There the frost melts from the walls and the
icicles hang in graceful crystals from the be-
ginning of one year to the beginning of the
next. The largest cellars in Cincinnati are
under a brewery up on Elm street. 1t was
at the entrance to the immense and laby-
rinthian caves that a hot, perspiring and
worn out reporter found himself the other
afternoon about 4 o'clock. Without the air
was sweltering. People going by in the
street could be seen hopping and blowing.
The door opened, and, preceded by a man in
boots, overalls and blue blouse-rather
warmly dressed for SUMMERTIME reporter
descended.
A cold chill struck him that froze the per-
spiration right where it stood. His breath
loated in two long streams, like q cloud of
smoke, from his nostrils to the ground. This
was only in the ante room, Us it were. A
door opened and he stood in the frost cellar.
Great casks stood about in long tiers. In
and around everywhere the pipes OF ice ran.
covered with white frost that sparkled in the
lamplight, while at the joints two long icicles
depended.
In one of the rooms n man was turning a
large wheel, while over at a kind of table on
the other side beer was flowing out of a brass
faucet, probably as the result of his labor,
and was being put into a keg. This
scene of underground labor in the midst of
eternal cold was lighted by electric lights,
which shone dimly through the glass bulb,
coated with frozen moisture. One of the
immense casks in another apartment was
empty. A man in a similar uniform to the
guide-alt the workmen wore the boots, over
ais and blouse and were warmly clad-was
raking chips out of it into a kind of wagon
with which, when loaded, he made swiftly
off into the darkness. The temperature of
this place and of the subcellar under it must
have been very near zero. Perhaps the latter
was colder. But it really made no difference.
The reporter was blue with cold. and that
is as bad as can be.
The casks OF beer that must lie there for
eight months before they can be opened must
have numbered several hundred, while the
kegs OF beer soon to be sold we're piled about
by the thousand. In a little corner of the
cellar is a small room with q beer key in it
and two glasses. When this was reached
there was a pause of a few moments, during
which the electric lights looked yellow and
distant through the glass. Then the guide
and reporter went up stairs again, from
lands of snow TO lands of SUM-" Once in the
warm again the frozen moisture that had
settled on the warmer clothes while in the
cellar melted, and the clothing was as damp
as if it had been rained upon.-Cincinnati
