The other day carload OF passeng-

morning quotations, and the ubiquitous
matrsa who goes shopping in Four

the number Of stores she could visit by
noon, when a clear, keen and piercing
whistle suddenly broke the silence. IL

A Popular Consul General.

The change in the politics of the
United States will affect our representa-
tives here. Minister Bragg, having
gone home 90 make speeches for Glove
land, will be marked for early decapita-
tion, and he will make room for a re-
publican, who should be a man of many
accomplishments and useful qualities.
Walker Blaine is talked Of among re-
publicans living here, and he has many
qualifications for the place. II is said
that he would like TO come. He would,
at all events. be young, wide awake to
American commercial needs, and, so
cially, very agreeable. Mr.. Blaine, ST.,
is dreaded here, and, if his son should
come to Mexico and succeed as a minis
ter, the Mexicans would be content. 1t
is certain that the best society OF the
capital would welcome young Mr..
Blaine, who was well liked when visi-
tor here. Minister Bragg has done
we'll and has been discreet, tactful and
patriotic. But he must submit to the
humbug rule Of changing foreign minis
tiers for political reasons.
Consul General More. who has not
been an active partisan, and is popular
with both republicans aud democrats
among American residents. may posi-
bly, stay awhile. It is pity that he
could not hold over another presidential
term, for he is an excellent consul,
agreeable, active, energetic, careful OF
the rights of his fellow countrymen n
man TO whom the Mexican government
willingly accords almost any favor.
His wife, like himself, is person OF
culture, many accomplishments. and is
received ia the best society Of Mexico.
Excellent types of Americans, the CON
sui general and his charming wife
should be left to represent their country
creditably. | am sure that every re-
publican among the American residents
would gladly sign a petition for the
retention OF Consul General More.
President Cleveland did not dismiss
Consul General Sutton, who is stationed
in the northern general consular dis
trict, although Mr. Sutton is a rcpubli-
can, and the same compliment to a
valuable public official might well be
paid to Mr.. More. Boston Herald

great deal of gore. 1t oame near
breaking OF his marriage. His intend
ed read the account and was alarmed
at his record. He FASTENED east, pre-
scented himself to his bride, and made
matters all right by saying that Col.
ArlSins's style. while graphic, had in
some respects hyperbolical vein in it.
The Judge presented his case in logi-

harsh and realistic 10 read that one

Unknown Sensations.

Sound is the sensation produced ON
US when the vibrations OF the air strike
on the drum Of our car When they
are few, the sound is deep; as they in
crease in number, it becomes shriller
and shriller; but when they reach forty
thousand in second they cease to be
audible. Sight is the effect produced
on us when waves OF light strike on the
eye. When four millions of millions Of
vibrations of ether strike the retina
in a second. they produce red; and as
the number increases the color passes
into orange, then yellow, green, blue
and violet. But between forty thousand
vibrations in second and four hum
bred millions OF millions we have no
organ OF sense capable Of receiving TIE
impression. Yet between these limits
any number of sensations may exist
We have five senses, and sometimes.
fancy that no others are possible. But
it is obvious that we can not measure
the infinite by our own narrow limita-
tions.
Moreover, looking at the question
from the other side, we find in animals
complex organs Of sense. richly sup
piled with nerves, but the function OF
which VIC are yet powerless to explain.
There may be fifty other senses as diff
ferent from ours as sound is from sight;
and even within the boundaries Of our
own senses there may be endless sounds
which we can not hear, and colors as
different as red from green, of which
we have no conception. These and
thousand other questions remain for
solution. The familiar world which sur
rounds us may be totally different
place 10 other animals To them it
may be full OF music which we cannot
hear. Of color which We cannot see, OF
sensations which we can not conceive.

Why are Yon Here9


Did You ever wonder why you ars
heree Did you ever stop to ask the
question: Did you ever try to answer
ite
Youaare not here to live for yourself
alone. You are not here solely that
you may eat, and drink, and put money
in the bank. You are not hero for the
sake of giving big sums to churches
and colleges when you die, and SO
transmitting your name to posterity.
You are not here TO tread down and
trample under foot those weaker than
yourself. neither arc you here that you
may be happy and prosperous.
You are hero to mold your mind and
your characterize fashion all that part
of yourself which will survive death,
into an individuality which you will in
herit in the next life.
Try TO remember that whatever you
are herefor. that you win be there Do
you for moment supposed that death
has the power to change mean, stingy'
revengeful man into generous, char
table. high-minded being, who will be
living joy ito all whom he comes in
contact
Why, the thing is impossible.
You might as well plant potato, and
expect crop of Hubbard squashes.
When you consider that the charac-
ter you are making here is the one
which is going to stick to you through
countless ages, it is worth while to put
yourself to a little inconvenience to
form it so that it will be comfort to
you and not distress.
1t win pay you to be honest. II will
pay men here to dc things about right.
You will sleep better, eat better, need
fewer pills and tonies. and be better
looking man generally. if you are true
to yourself, than if you switch of from
the main line Of business integrity on
to the side track of selfishness and
double-dealing.
1t may be hard you always to give
the full measure and the right weight.
you may be tempted to pass on some
cnsuspecting friend the half-dollar with
a hole in it that has been filed. You
may be tempted to sell that spawned
horse of yours for a sound one you may
want to get out of church before the
contribution box comes round. 1t may
DO that you would rather your wife's
cousins, and her mother, did not come
quite so often to your house and stay
quito SO long. 1t may be that you are
tempted to be glad when your enemy
fails in business, or when his son mar
ries the hired girl.
Temptations come to the best of peo-
pie. They will never hurt you if you
do not yield to them. And every time
you resist you are laying up fund of
strength for the fight next time.
And it is in the little things OF life
that your danger lies. The hasty word
the unfeeling taunt, the small kindness
refused. the lack of thought, the little
meanness practiced when you thought
nobody saw you, the small sin commit
ted which nobody knew. All! but you
knew it all Yourself, and the knowledge
that you have done it has blotted the
wilderness of your soul. and stained the
purity Of your conscience; and the con-
sequences will be felt in eternity.
Think well of it then, before you live
any but pure and honest life, and re-
member that here as we'll as. hereafter
you have the power of shaping your
own destiny. New York Weekly.
