Mountains to Disappear.

Scientists affirm that the surface of
the earth is being gradually leveled
and that the time is not for distant-a
million or two years. say-when there
will be no mountains at all worth
speaking of. Everything will be as fiat
as pancake. A mountain on even a
respectable hill will be so rare, we
suppose, that an admission fee will be
charged to see one. A man with nice
mountain on his farm that hasn't been
leveled down entirely will fence it in
and charge gate money. Mountains
may come high. but curiosity hunters
will have them. How rival mountain
owners will advertise for custom and
run each others mountain down, exag-
gerating the height and general dimen.

The Romance Of Welded Life.

James, dear, will you bring me up
q hod of coal from the cellar" said q
busy wife.
"That's just the way with YOU" said
James, with black frown, as he put
down his book and rose up flom the
lounge.
"Just the way with me?"
EYES," he snapped. "As soon as you
see me enjoying myself, you have some
chore or other for me to do. Didn't
you see I was absorbed in my reading?"
"Well, dear, will do it myself"
"Yes, and tell everybody, your
mother especially, that you have to
carry your own coal up from the cellar.
No. I'll do it. Let me mark my place"
So he marked tie place in the book
he had ceased reading and when he
went down to the cellar, grumbling all
the way, she picked up the volume and
found it was love story, and the
passage he had been absorbed in was
as follows: "My darling, when you
are my wife I will shield and protect
you from every care, the winds of
heaven shall not visit your face too
roughly, those pretty hands shall never
be soiled by mental tasks, your wish
shall be my law, your happiness"
Just then he reappeared. and dump
ing the hod on the floor, said: There's
your darned coal. Give me nv book.

The Supremacy OF the Lie.

It is sometimes difficult and often
to tell the truth. A lie is so much bet
ter dressed than the truth. The truth
is laboring man; the lie is the sue
cessful stock broker. The truth may
tramp YEARLY and painfully; the lie
rides in palace. The truth hesitates
and stammers; the lie is as easy and as
voluble of smooth sentences as the
brook is prolific of musical babble.
Truth limps with stone-bruise; the
lie dances with sound and graceful
feet Do you ask who is to blame for
this condition of society? You
are-everybody is. While processing
to love the truth we are bored by it.
While pretending to scorn the lie we
are enraptured with it. We can see its
paint, powder, and false hair, but there
is music in its voice and its manners
are engaging. Truth is plodder; the
lie is poet. Truth raises the corn,
but the lie pockets the money.
In this life facts are rough stones
Fiction is the carved figure. Facts be-
long to all men. Fiction belongs to
the chosen. Fact is mere discovery;
fiction is creation. The man who writes
an original story has finer mind, has
o mind more in keeping with the God
given faculty of creation, than the man
who complies an encyclopedia. One is
industry; the other is genius. The
compiler is truth; the story writer is
the ie.-Arkd7asaW Iraueler.

Foreign CuriOs Made at Home.

I have known the time when q bronze
catch for q Japanese cooly's tobacco
pouch was worth great deal, and q
man who had q piece of Japanese
lacquer or q vase was man above the
common. Now they make Satsuma
ware in America, and export Chinese
bronze josses for popular worship from
Birmingham to China Curios? What's
the use of paying big prices for curios
when they can lie about them just as
easy? know lady who has q beauti-
full set of china, which is the admiration
of her friends. She says it came from
Japan and is 800 years old. I know
she bought it in Oakland, and it never
saw Japan. Another has an old lamp
that was supposed to have burnt in the
Temple of Diana. goodness knows how
many centuries ago. She fished it up
in q second hand store on Third street,
and the proprietor of the store bought
it with the effects of an Irishwoman
who made fortune in a mine and sold
out all the old truck she brought from
Ireland I have myself seen the
Japanese curio merchants pay 81 apiece
for brass imitation Japanese hairpins,
made in Birmingham, and sold by
auction in Nsgasaki, and I've seen the
willy foreigner pay them S. for the
same pin and send it home rs q great

The Dangers Of Coal Mining.

This mine, while one of the. largest,
was also one OF the most dangerous in
the valley. In order to keep the work.
ings supplied with pure air, in guam
s'ty sufficient to render harmless the
explosive gases released by opening
the coal-seams, an immense fan had
been constructed which, during every
minute that it was in action, drew forth
from the mine over 5000 cubic feet
OF impure air. Even with this great
ar-current. there were sill very dam
gerous parts of the mine, requiring the
utmost vigilance from the miners. To
hear OF some miner or laborer firing the
gas IN his chamber and being burned
thereby, was matter of almost weekly
occurrence. In pits of this character.
where there is plentiful air-current,
it is often a custom with miners to
fire" the gas in their working places
before q quantity sufficient to render
it's combustion dangerous accumulates.
When this is done, the gas will take
fire with noise not unlike that made
in lighting q common gas-jet. There
is such an excess of air that the ex,
plosion of the gas is very weak and
harmless. The flame, often three or
four feet deep. will travel along the
uneven roof, showing beautiful colors
varying from a deep, dark blue to
brilliant crimson; and in it shine stars
of dazzling white Light, showing that
fine particles of coal-dust suspended in
the air are burning in the great heat OF
the gas. Sometimes this flame will
travel close up against the roof, slowly
to and fro, several times, until all the
gas has been burned away.
When the fame dies out, the burnt
gases (the "b!ack" or "after-damp.~
being heavier than the air, fall to the
floor. So the cool-miner is ever ex-
posed to two great dangers; the first.
that of being burned; the second, that
of being suffocated after he has escaped

IS IT SMALLPOX?
Smallpox is beginning to sweep over
the country and an epidemic similar TO
that OF 1872 seems probable. The
Medical Standard (Chicago) renders .
distinct service not only tc physicians
but to the community in dwelling upon
the necessity for preventive measures
and care in diagnosis. This latter point
IS by no means the simple problem
which the limited discussions of the
subject IN medical journals. textbooks.
and medical schools would imply. The
errors in diagnosis of eminent physi-
clans demonstrate the necessity for
care. Even in this CITY measles.
chicken-pox, and other eruptive dis
eases have been mistaken for small
pox, and vice versa; and in 1884 the
health officer of Cincinnati gave a per-
NIT for the shipment of body from
that city to Crawford County, Ill,
where it caused an outbreak of small
pox resulting in ten cases and three
deaths in the town of Robinson. The
case had been diagnosed as purpura in
Cincinnati, when it was. in fact, hem
orrhagic smallpox. DR.. Herman fur
nishes in his March number a resume
of the pulling eruptions most likely to
be encountered and promises further
discussion of the subject in the pages
of the Standard.
THE DEADLY COSMETIC.
The american analyst is endeavor-
ing to repeat the crusade against cos
metics which the medical profession
and the press waged so successfully
some fifteen years since. Within the
last three years, owing partly to the
inexplicable English" craze and partly
to the increased admiration. if not
idolatry, for the stage that has come
over the American heart, the rage for
cosmetics has revived, and to-day is
more virulent and bodeful than ever
before. In addition to the numberless
external applications there are few
preparations used internally to beautify
the exterior of the body. Of these,
arsenic waters and other forms of ar
senic are the chief. It scarcely seems
needful to remark that ther are vile
and wicked in every respect: that the
man who makes and sells them is either
a knave, fraud, or fool, and that
only fool, hopeless and unmitigated,
will purchase his miserable trash. As,
however, the fool-killer is not a legal
official, it may save the pocket or
the health of some one to add that if
any preparation contains enough arsenic
to influence the condition of the skin,
it is poison which is bound to infict
sickness, suffering, and eventual death:
and that if it does not contain this
quantity, but only a homeopathic
amount, it is pitiable fraud and swim
die.

A Stitcl in Time.

There were nine or ten people in q
bob-tailed car which was jogging along
in dreamy way, when all of sudden
q man sprang up, fshed out nickel
from his pocket and showed it into the
box.
"Why did you do that?" asked the
man next to him. II saw you pay your
fare ten minutes ago."
"Yes, I believe I paid, but suppose
the driver should open the door and
solemnly say: "There's one person in
this car who has not paid farel" There
would be an awful silence and every
