The travelling missionary had had a
somewhat varied experience. He had
been through n rough country, and
his meek spirit had been sorely tried.
He had found the spirit of irreverence
and disbelief all over the land and the
ground was stony. But he left in de-
spair when he struck an old man at a
railway station in Texas. They were
both waiting for n train. He got into
conversation with the grizzled veteran
of frontier life. They discussed va
rious things, and finally the mission
airy asked;
Are you prepared TO die2"

prepared in this country. Yes, I'm

The Medical Age says that the most
frequent fault Of the brain worker is
excessive application to work. The
most intense and fatiguing of tolls is
pursued almost uninterruptedly, food
is neglected, and the claims of exercise
and sleep are but imperfectly admit
ted. Two hours exercise in the open
air, daily, is probably n minimum and
might prudently be exceeded. The
brain worker must live sparingly
rather than luxuriously; he must pre-
fer the lighter classes of food to the
heavier, and he must be very prudent
in the use of alcohol. Tobacco and
tea are apt TO be favorites with him,
and their immoderate use may require
to be guarded against. 1t is a nice
question whether he needs more or
less sleep than other men. Many men
of genius are light sleepers, probably
in some cases a misfortune, but there
seems some ground for the notion
that more than a moderate indulgence
in sleep is unfavorable to successful
mental effort.

The noble old church of st. Nicho-
las, in Newcastle7upon Tyne, has been
caked by the more imposing title of
cathedral only since the creation of a
bishopric Of Newcastle, but its exter-
nal beauty, accumulated by graceful
arched lantern" spire and the pin
nacles springing airly aloft from the
summit of the grand tower, has long
won the admiration of travellers from
London to Edinburgh by the Great
Northern and North British railways.
1t is one of the finest ediices of the
Fourteenth century in the decorated
Gothic style of architecture. Between
1873 and 1876, under the supcrintend-
enc of the late Sir G. Gilbert Scott,
elaborate r~estorations were effected in
the interior of the church, rendering
it thus worthier of its cathedral dig
nifty. On a rock commanding the
river and the busy commercial town,
though lacking the peculiar environ
ment of lawns and foliage, which add
grace to other ancient cathedrals of
England, it possesses a conspicuous
grandeur and stateliness of its own

An exciting adventure in which a
big rattlesnake and Jesse Grigsby, of
Grizzly canyon, occupied the chief
roles occurred near the home of the
latter. LESSEE was strolling around
the hills, when he stumbled upon a
huge rattler that at once assumed hos
%tilities, and striking at the intruder
his fangs became entangled in a leg
of his trousers, and there he hung.
About that time Jesse thought of some
business he had at the house, and
being in something of a hurry, he
started home on the double quick,
without taking time to release his
snakeship. 1t was a close ace be-
tween Jesse and the rattler. For one
half the distance the snake was in the
lead, and the other half Jesse would
pull ahead, and thus they had it until
the house and assistance were reached,
and there the serpent was killed. 1t
is quite safe TO say that neither Jesse
nor the snake ever made any better
time over the same distance Lower

In its simplest form, the bunk is
merely a wooden surface supported
by four legs. The poorest people cover
it with tightly stretched clean mat
ting. The rich use the same form, but
carve the legs and edges into a thou
sand and one delightful shapes, and
cover the mating with rugs and mats
until it becomes n couch worthy of
ancient Rome.
1t is a bed that needs no making up,
that never squeaks or breaks down, is
never disarranged and can be kept ex-
quisitely clean with the least amount
of labor. Upon it the mandarin and
daimio lie and read, chat, sleep, smoke
and enjoy life. 1t is susceptible of any
amount of adornment. In a summer
pavilion it may be a graceful shape of
light bamboo and rattan, while in a
drawing room it may be an elegant
carved affair in ebony, with royal
robes. The Home Maker.

DICKENS hNp FORSTER.
How the Latter Meddi with All ths
Great Novelist AnAIrS

How the Latter Meddied with All the
Great Novelist's AnAIrS
1t is hard TO understand how Dick.
ems put up with Forster. The great
novelist was q good nan OF business,
even before he came in for the inesti.
mable privilege Of Forster's guidance,
but after the ''h'arbitraryh person
took him in charge he was always
treated as a o or less helpless in
FAINT and he accepted the situation
with a comical patience that was all
his own.
Forster interfered in Dickens lit
fairs, in his business affairs, in
the minutest of his social affairs,
and, most of all, in his family
affairs. How the incubus was en-.
dured none can tell. Sometimes
Dickens objected, and told his men
tor some Ealutary truths; there then
ensued a quarrel of some duration,
and a good deal OF verbal sparring by
no means light in character; but in
the end Dickens real esteem for his
bearish friends sterling character al
ways caused him TO relapse into
amused tolerance.
One example of Forster's colossal
capacity for meddling would be reck-
oned as incredible, had not so many
people been present when the ''h'arbi-
trary" philosopher made an exhibition
of himself. At a somewhat large din
ner party Dickens happened to men
ton that he had FIVE children. The
meddler could not miss the chance,
so he shouted:
mo, you have notl You know you
are wrong by m You have only
four living"
This tremendous piece of impudence
was doubtless uttered with a purpose;
it meant:
you may think that there are some
matters which you can decide with
out my assistance, but l assure you
that you are quite wrong"
Dickens smiled and said, mildly:
My dear Forster, you must really
allow me TO know something on that
point"
We should think SO, and we should
have thought that the polite astonish-
ment of the assembled guests might
have curbed the exuberance of the in
effable meddler; but he seems TO have
gone on gayly To the bitter end. and
he closed the proceedings by writing a
biography of Dickens which may be
better described as THE Autobiogra-
ply of John Forster, with Incidental
References to Charles Dickens" So
strongly did this most heroic of med
dlers wish TO thrust himself forward
that he compelled those who loved
Charles Dickens to publish a collection
OF beautiful letters which proved that
u great man did not depend, as it
were, for the breath Of life upon the
active and commanding Forster

She had such pretty ways with
her" That was the reason an honest,
hard working man gave for marrying
a girl of whom he knew little else, but
who was really n professional biga-
mist, travelling about the country and
marrying husband after husband as a
matter OF speculation.
1t is the pretty ways of women which
have ruined many a man of every age,
including the greatest of generals,
statesmen and philosophers.
If the pretty ways come from the
heart it is all right. If they are the
result of cold, selfish, calculating art,
voc is TO him who falls their victim.
Nothing is truer than that women
are both better and worse than men.

Croton, Conn, boasts of a boy who
is full of pure Yankee ingenuity. In
the past he has been obliged to rise in
the morning about 8 o'clock and feed
a horse which is kept in the barn near
his place of residence. Finding this a
little too monotonous and irksome he
invented a way in which he could
fulfill his mission and enjoy blissful
rest simultaneously. He arranged a
small box in the upper part of the
barn directly ove the Manager in such
way that by pulling a cord the box
was tipped or dumped, depositing the
grain in the feed box. The other end
OF the cord was carried through the
window of his room and attached to
the bedstead. Boston Herald.

DR.. Elliott, in a recent lecture at To-
ronto, gives the four principal condi-
tons that must be observed for the
treatment of inebriates TO be success
full. The first is abstinence; this must
be absolute, and on no plea whatever,
of fashion, of physic or religion,
ought the smallest quantity of an in
toxicant TO be put to the lips OF an al
coholic slave. The second condition is
to ascertain the pr~edisposing and excit-
ing causes of inebriety, and to en-
deavor to remove those causes, which
may lie in some remote or deep seated
physical ailment. The third condition
is to restore the physical and mental
tone, and the fourth condition is en-
ployment; let the mind of the patient
be kept occupied by attention to reg
ular work, and the task of reforma-
ton will be shorn of half its difficulty.

wealth, .Jews in Britain.

1t is a fact that in Great Britain the
Jews are, taken collectively, far more
wealthy than the remainder of the
population. Some little time ago fig
ures were published which showed
that the average yearly income of the
Jewish inhabitants of London was
f106, while that of the whole of the
inhabitants of the kingdom, taken col
lectively, amounted to only EDS; that
is TO say, the Jews are nearly three
times as wealthy as the ~non-Jewish
residents OF Great Britain. Putting it
in another way, the Jews form only
one seven hundred and iftieth part Of
the population, but have between them
one two hundred and fiftieth of the
national wealth. The following fig
ures show the matter looked 1t from a
different aspect:
One Jewish family in every hun
dred has an income of $50, 900 a year
or more. A similar income is only
enjoyed by family in every 2, 500
among the rest of the population. One
Jewish family in every twelve has an
income of over 81, 500 a year, while
among the Gentiles the proportion is
only one in seventy-five.-Once a

NEW YoRHs STREET ARABS.


Some OF the Schemes by Which Gamins
Turn an Honest Penny.
The shrewdness of the average New
York street gamin is remarkable. One
day last week two little boys, neither
of whom were over Is years, evolved
this scheme for turning an honest
penny, They stood in the center of
City Hall park, with their hats over
their eyes, with upturned faces, and
aeads nearly resting on their backs.
looking intently into the blue sky, as
II some m Of the heavenly objects

looked. Some asked what the attrac-
ton was; others continued looking.
evidently for the purpose of discover
ing something wonderful before ask
ing. Some said il was Venus, but
Others said il wasn't. But the two
boys who caused all this sensation
and anxiety-what of themf When
fully 100 had collected about the spot,
the young chaps announced that they
would give a circus performance. A
space was cleared for them, which the
crowd surrounded. Others rushed TO
the scene, and before the performance
began a crowd had gathered that
would not make n bad showing in n
theatre. The boys gave a remarkably
good entertainment of tumbling and
breakneck maneuvers, which aston
ished the audience and produced no
little applause. At the conclusion of
the Circus performance" the boys,
hat in hand, collected money enough
to give them both n good time during
the day, and, perhaps, seats at the
theatre that evening.
Another trick came TO the writer's
notice, which, for genuine smart
ness" is rather noteworthy. 1t may
be surprising. 10 the city fathers to
know hat seats in the public parks
are sold nightly, yet this is a fact.
The little boys start out early in the
evening and capture as many seats as
possible. When the young lovers pass
through the park and see a seat in a
quiet and sequestcred place, and find
the occupant to be a little boy, some
times two in number, the young man
excuses himself to his fair companion,
and, going to the boy or boys, endeav-
ors to make a bargain for the seat,
which he is generally successful in
concentrating, though never, it is said,
for less than ten cents, and often
times more. AS it gets late in the
evening, and the call for seats is not
SO great, n can be secured for five
cents. These money making lads
must feel as depressed at q rainy or
disagreeable night as the bootblack
does of a wet day.-New York Star.

Transportation of suiphurie Acid.

Herr Bickmann has patented in Ger
many a process for enabling sulphur
ric acid for manufacturing purposes to
be safely transported. He takes ad-
vantage of a property of certain salts
of which alkaline sulphates are re-
presentatives-by which they give up
their water Of capitalization when
heated and take it up again when
cool; and he does so by mixing the
salts in an anhydrous condition with
a calculated quantity of sulphurio
acid. The whole mass becomes gran
ular, or may be formed into cakes;
and when heated the whole liquefies
and may be used as If it were sulphur
ric acid, for the presence of bisulphate
