Why Men Whistle

Whistiing was invented to give a man
a chance to add a noise to the other
noises in creation. The other noises in
nature are all attuned TO the character OF
the article that produces them. The
breeze makes it gentle sigh, the brook
has its peculiar sound, the storm has its
crash and its roar. Everything made a
noise in the world except man when he
was alone. \ man can't talk TO himself:
it is idiotic, although it is astonishing
how many people do it. \ cough is not
a very enjoyable sound and it i~rritates
the lungs 10 produce it. \ sneeze always
goes with 4 cold in the head.
True, a man a sing, that is, he can
try to sing, but if it is al all agreeable it
seems somehow to be wasted if somebody
has not paid an admission fee to hear it.
That's why women have such a terrible
reputation for talking. They can't whis-
tie, and they have nothing to relieve the
restraint when they are alone so when
they get hold of anybody they make up
for it. But whistling was invented to
conceal music. You don't need to have
music in your soul to whistle. Ii is sim
ply the noise of a vacant mind. The
loud laugh Of Oliver Goldsmith that be-
a vacant mind applies to a crowd.
The whistle ShOus tho vacant mind =,
its solitary state. When you hear man
whistle who palpably does not know a
tune, he is either a very good fellow or a
very bad fellow.-Saa Erqncisco Chronicle.

A Prominent Merchant in
Trouble.

Old m~oneybags mopes in his Office all
day,
As snappish and cross as a bear;
The clerks know enough to keep out OF
his way,
Lest the merchant should grumble and
swear.
Even Tabby, the cat, is in fear Of a cuff.
OR kick, if she ventures too near;
They all know the master IS apt TO be
rough,
And his freaks unexpected and queer.
What makes the old fellow so surly and
grim,
And behave 50 co~nfoundedly mean?
There's certainly something the matter
with him
In stomach, or liver. or spleen?
We've guessed this liver is sluggish
and bad,
His blood is disordered and foul.
It's enough to make any one hopelessly
MAD,
And greet his best friend with a growl.
The worldwide remedy, DR.. Pierce.
Golden Medical Discovery, will correc
a disordered liver and purify the blood
tone your system and build up your fiesf
and strength.

We Lead the World.

WAsBIx6roS. July ss.-Ar. paTidE. Day.
Chief of the Division OF Mining Statistics.
has submitted a summary OF the mineral
products of the United States in 1857 in ad-
vance of the official report. n total value
is S5Ss. o56 ,3i5. 1t shows a wonderful gain
over 1856, and is s~loo,ooo,0oe greater than
the output of 1885.
The United States leads the world in the
production of minerals. The principal
gains In 1857 were in the production of me-
talic ores and the fuels necessary for melting
them. The production of pig iron alone in
creased more than sa6,0ooOoo. The high
price Of copper caused notable expansion in
that industry. The product Of coal s the
largest ever recorded.
Taken as a whole, the report shows great
prosperity for the mining industry. The
grand total value Of more than half a bill
ion dollars, the report says, resulted no, only
FIRM an increase in the quantity of minerals
mined. but also from a general advance in
the prices of metals. II may be several
years before this total is exceeded. and the
year 1855 Will fall considerably below IT,
Among many reasons for the decrease this
year is the decline in railroad building.

This Is a sort Of topsy-turvey world,
No one seems 10 be satisfied. One man

One nan is ordered to eat eggs because
they are nutritious, and another is eau,
toned to leave them alone because they
produce bile.
Robinson takes a sherry to give him an
appetite, while Brown. who has a wine
cellar, can't take a drop on account Of his
appoplectic tendencies.
The prize fighter reforms and becomes
a preacher, while the theological student
leaves his university to become a profes-
sional base ball pitcher.
one man keeps a pistol to protect him
self against burglars, while his neighbor
takes the same instrument and commits
suicide.
The man who can make $4,000 a year

One rich man wears poor clothes be-

while a poor mar wears fine clothes be
cause he is poor and wants TO create the

Lady Riders in Honduras.

In Honduras every lady has her own
saddle mule. She rides with grace and
ease acquired by constant practice from
early childhood. She sits on right side
of ~the'mule-the Central American side
saddle being constructed the opposite 10
those used in the United States. The
right foot is placed in the stirrup and a
tiny but effective silver spur is worn on
the heel. The right hand holds the bri.
die and the left usually carries a sun UNI
brella. \ whip is seldom needed with the
spur, although a few ladies who have
been in New York have adopted the
whip and discarded the umbrella. 4
wide brimmed hat is indispensable, and
the riding habit is of gray linen or some
small check fancy in cotton.
