Elias Sweet Simplicity.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox has struck
new note lately. She informed re-
porter of the Republican, in st. Louis,
that she had been crying because-be-
cause-She couldn't-fnd-her slip
pers! How sweet, how charmingly in
nocent and maize! 1t almost makes
one melt in tears of compassion, to
think of the childlike, simple little
poetess of Poems of Passion weeping
for her lost slippers!
But that is not all; the climax is not
reached yet, oh, no!
After awhile Hubby Wilcox comes
in and the dear, innocent cries out ibid
she not clap her tiny hands in utter
glee, Mr.. Republicaa9, 'Oh, Robert,
I'm so glad to see you. You were not
here to lind my slippers and ] criedr
All, the sweet, trusting faith of gen.
tie womanhood! How delightful this
all is! What dear, dear, darling little
Rosie Mackenzie innocent Mrs. Wilcox
is, to be sure.
Over there on the shelves is little
red-bound book: Poems of Passion"
Let us take it down. All, yes, here it
is-just one passage among a good
many like it. Listen:
For just one kiss that your lips have given
In the lost and beautiful past to me,
I would gladly barter my hopes of heaven
And all the bliss of eternity.
81 know, in the way that sins are reckoned,
This thought is a sin of the deepest dye.
But 1 know, too, that if an angel beckoned,
Standing close to the throne on high,
And you, adown by the gates internal,
Should open your loving arms and smile,
I would turn my back on things supernal
To lie on your breast little while!"
Have the people grown tired of this
style, Mrs. Cinderella Wilcox? Dear
me, it is too horrid if they have, isn't
it? Are we to have the simply sweet,
simpering Rosie Mackenzie, now, mad
am? Well, well, if so, we Americans
as a people, pay handsomely to be
humbugged, you know. Success, Mrs.

The Yellow River of China.

The Yellow river, from the enor-
nous rapidity of its volume when
swollen by melted snow, is the worst
of offenders, says the London Spectator.
Its new bed, even in twenty-five years,
has risen far above the plain, and as
the dikes grow from hillocks into hills.
from mere walls into ranges of earth
works like fortress sides, hundreds of
miles long, the effort overtaxes the
skill of the engineers and the persever-
ance even of Chinese labOrers. The
ablest engineers in India were beaten by
the DamOodah, though it is, compared
with the Hoang-Ho, like trumpery
European stream, and though the labor
available could hardly be exhausted.
The truth of the matter is that IN all
such cases the upper sections of the
dikes cost too much for complete re-
pair, and tend to be inadequate; and
when the Yellow river. gorged with
water from the mountains till it forms
in reality gigantic reservoir, averag-
ing mile broad, from three hundred
to five hundred miles long and seventy
feet deep, all suspended in air by
artificial supports, comes rushing down
in autumn, the slightest weakness in
those supports is fatal. On Sept. q
the river was at its fullest, its speed
was at its highest, there was almost
certainly driving wind from the west,
a bit of dixie gave way, the rent spread
for 1 POO yards, and-Our readers re-
member, for Charles Reade described
it, the rush into Sheffield Of the Holm
firth reservoir. Multiply that. if you
can, by two thousand, add eXhaustless
renewals of the water from behind
five Danubes pouring from a height
for two months on end-and instead
OF long valley with high sides which
can be reached, think of vast, open
plain, fiat as Salisbury plain. but stud
ded with three thousand villages, all
swarming as English villages never
swarm. and you may gain conception
OF a scene hardly rivaled since the
deluge. The torrent, it is known, in its
first and grandest rush, though throw
ing out rivers atevery moment ateyery
incline of the land, had for its center a
stream thirty miles wide and ten feet
deep, travelling, probably, at twenty
miles an hour-a force as irresistible
rs that of lava. No tree could last ten
minutes, no house five; the very soil
would be carried away as by a super
natural plowshare; and as for man-an
ant in broken stopcock in London
street would be more powerful than he.

HOW TO SUCCEED.

This is day when one may succeed
in almost any honorable calling in
which he may engage, whether he be
q maker of hOrse-shOes, a manufacturer
of fabrics, builder of locomotives, q
a merchant, a school teacher, or pro-
fessional man of whatever sort. But
the prime requisite to success in any
line is that Ole must 90 GUeU what he
undertakes to do-that he must 2COrb,
and work zealously; yet one can hard
ly do qCeU what he undertakes, and
work with enjoyment, without a loUe
for his work, or without such desire
to excel in his work as amounts al
most to a love or passion for it.
George Eliot, in 1liddJen30rcb, makes
Caleb Garth say: You must be sure
of two things; you must love your
work, and not always be looking oven
the edge of it, waiting your play to be-
gin. And the other is, you must not
be ashamed of your work, and think
it would be more honorable for you to
be doing something else. You must
have pride in your own work, and
in learn g to do it we'll, and not al
ways be saying, there's that,-if | had
tnlS OF IndG 10 10, nlSHG udhe Soue-
thing of it. No matter what a man is,
I wouldn't give two-pence for him,
whether he was the prime minister or
the ick-thatcher, if he didn't do well
what he undertook to do"
Adam Bede had much the same idea
with Caleb Garth: 81 can't abide to
see men throw away their tools i that
way, the minute the clock begins ia
strike, as if they took no pleasure i
their work, and was afraid o. doing a
stroke too much. l hate to
see mans arms drop down as if he
was shot, before the clocks fairly
struck, just as if he'd never bit of
pride and delight ms work. The very
grind-stone 'ull go on turning bit
after you loose it. Tile School Teacher.

Indians in Guatemala.

The art of lying is unknown in the
United States when compared with the
state of perfectionithas reached among
some of the Indian tribes. You may
tell an individual in your employ to do
a certain thing, but you must accom-
pany him to see that ne does it, because
if he does not feel like doing it he will
come back and lie about it. Hit one
of them with your fist or kick him out
of your house, and he will complain to
the nearest alcalde, and will have
twenty witnesses to swear that they
saw you beat the complainant over the
head with a club until he layinsensible
in his own blood, and this though they
may have been miles away at the time.
Even among the Indians, the govern
ment has made civil marriage neces-
sary, and by law this must be per-
formed before the priest can perform
toe religious ceremony. After both
firms have been complied with, the
guests repair to the brides home, each
bringing a basket to carry home share
of the wedding supper. The bride
groom supplies the whisky, and a
Yillainous compound it is. Connois-
seurs say it contains more "head' than
any alcoholic drink in existence. The
bride is dressed in bright colors, the
finery of her entire family being loaned
to her for the day for her adornment.
Over her head, as a marriage veil, she
wears a coarse, white muslin pOnchO.
A large table is set, and the plates are
filled with sweet things and other eata-
bles considered appropriate for we'd
n in fa0 Of hi 4I,,,
brides family. After congratulating
the happy pair the guests assemble
around the table and drink whisky
straight" but by custom they are not
permitted to eat a mouthful, though
toothpicks are supplied, and they con-
tent themselves by picking their teeth
between drinks, The debauch con-
tinues until there is no more whisky,
when each family empties its plates of
food into its own basket to be eaten on
arriving at home, but the plates are
replaced on the table, and the brides
mother carefully counts them before
she allows any guests to depart. Fun
eral professions are preceded by the
marimba, q native musical instrument
which resembles 4 Xylophone. The
coffin is placed on mems shoulders,
followed by the immediate family of
the deceased, and the general mourn
ers. Sometimes, as in the case of a
child, the corpse is dressed in white,
propped up to make it appear to be
standing, and surrounded with flowers.
If the mothers grief for the loss of her
little one is too great to permit her to
follow in the funeral cortege she hires
chief mourner who follows in rear
of all, beating her breast, making every
outward sign of grief, and uttering
most heartrending cries. have seen
many funerals accompanied by these
hired mourners, and if piercing shrieks
and mournful means are what they
are paid for, in every case they well
earn their hire.-NeaO York. Times.

Made Her Majesty Gasp.

Porter Rhodes, who discovered the
biggest diamond ever found at the cape,
believes quite as firmly in his jewel as
the queen does in hers. 1t weighs $50
carats and is perfectly clear, having
flights like white satin through it."
Out at the cape Mr.. Rhodes placed it
on exhibition and charged s. admission
fee, clearing handsome sum for one
of the hospitals. When he came home
to England the other day the queen
heard of him and expressed a desire to
see his diamond. The professor, not
being accustomed to the etiquette of
the courts, he was carefully warned
against contradicting her majesty, who
is somewhat impatient of such things,
and was babe to make no comparisons.
He got on very well until the queen,
having examined it with considerable
interest, laid it down with the remark
that it was handsome, but not so large
as her Koh-i-noor.
''Koh-i-noor!' cried the indignant
diamond digger contemporary,
wrought out of remembrance of warn
ings, ''why, the old thing can't touch
mine. It's deal bigger than yours,
and l wouldn't give this diamond for
two of your Koh-i-noors." The queen
fairly gasped with amazement at his
and had him peremptorily
bundled out with his impertinent jewel.
