POOR PEOPLES CHANCES.

Some years ago city missionary was
crossing one Of the parks in New York
on the Sabbath day and said to lad,
"What are you doing here, breaking the
Lords day? You ought to be at Church
and worshipping God instead of breaking
the Sabbath in this way" The poor
lad in his rags looked up at the city mis-
sionary and said: "Oh, sir, it's very easy
for you to talk that way, but God knows
that we poor chaps amt got no chance"
The sentiment seems to be growing
that in the United States the time has
arrived when "the poor chaps don't have
no chance"
There is some truth in it. The poor
are not shut out from making liveli-
hood, but the gulf between riches and
poverty continually grows more difficult
to cross. As the country becomes dense
ly populated keen business competition
decreases the chances for accommodating
wealth by ordinary business meth' DIS.
| But the same conditions vastly improve
the chances for great success, to those
who can strike out in new paths, can fur
nish something to the world that others
| cannot.

will win easily and with grand results in

to recognize it. This recognition can
only be accomplished by what are some
times sneeringly alluded to as advertis-
ing methods.
What marvellous success has attended
the thorough introduction to the world
Of the merits of that wonderful remedy
for kidney disease-Warner's Safe Cure.
Hon. II. H. Warner first came to know
of it's curative power by being restored to
health from villa, the doctors pronounced
a fatal kidney trouble. He concluded
the world ought TO know of it and in the
ten years since he began its manufacture
he has spent millions of dollars in adver-
Using the Safe Cure.
His methods have been ingenious
sometimes, perhaps, open to criticism,
but II ey had a purpose, which has been
accom- pliohed.
But mark he never would have &C.
cured four fold return of the vast sums
thus expended if the real merit of the
remedy had not been fully proven to the
millions of people reached by his adver-
tisementH.
Ten years of increasing success of War
uer's Safe Cure is due, first, to intelligent
and pleasing advertising, by which the
people were made acquainted with the
remedy. Second, to the true worth Of
the remedy, proved by actual experience
showing it to be the only specific for kid
ney disease, and all diseases growing OUT
u kidney arrangements.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
A. p. More Seriously Injured on His
Santa Rosa Island.

A Santa Barbara dispatch of the
10th inst. reports a murderous assault
upon A. P. More, a San Francisco
millionaire who is quite heavily in.
terested in mining claims at Galena,
at the base of the Sawtooth range,
but whose other business interests
have prevented from developing his
claims here. The dispatch says:
"News was brought from Santa
Rosa Island to-day of fight which
occurred there Tuesday night and
which nearly resulted in the killing OF
Alex. P. More, owner of the island
and multi millionaire. More has been
experimenting the shearing of sheep,
of which he has $4,000 on the island,
and personally kept tally of the work
of each of his rs shearers. The men
bad been complaining for some time
that at the end of the day More's
count was always four or FIVE sheep
behind their own and the sentiment
seemed to be that they were being
cheated by their employer.
"The shearers made an agreement
to resist the real or fancied imposi'
ton, and or Tuesday big Mexican
made an unusually strenuous com
plant to More. Hot words passed
and More made move as if to draw
a pistol, when the Mexican jumped
on him, and, assisted by half-a-dozer
others, gave him a severe beating
from which he WAS rescued with thre'
ribs broken and an arm fractured il

BRUIN AS A SEA CAPTAIN.
Large Black Bear That Bossed Ship for a
Whole Night.

A Large Black Bear That Bossed Ship for a
Whole Night.
Capt. Drew of the ship Sea Witch,
which recently returned to New York
from the Chinese seas, tells of an exciting
adventure which occurred on the bark
Golden Star, from San Francisco, which
ran in the Ca e of Good Hope in a dis
abled condition, owing to the mad pranks
of a wild bear.
This bear" said Capt. Drew, twas a
great big black fellow, weighing fully 400
pounds He WAS confined in a strong
wooden box, which was placed on the
deck aft of the captain's cabin.
Zone night, just as they were changing
wstch OF tie Golden Star, twelve bells
having been struck, the bear pried off one
of the wooden bars of the cage and got
out. Mr.. Bruin shifted the strong salt
bretzs for a moment and then began
wandering about the deck. Suddenly he
espied the Blan at the wheel, and withoUr
further ceremony, he crawled up to him,
and, rising on his launches, struck the
jack tar savage blow with his huge paw.
Chen he seized the sailor by the left
leg, manglIng it frIghtfuly and causing
the poor fellow to let go his hold on the
wheel. The ship Immediately broached
TO and fell off her course, the sails tapped
wildly, and the pinnacle light was
extiOgu shedn the struggle.
Shortly afterward tina first officer,
becoming alarmed at the sudden lurchiLg
of the vessel, rushed on deck. Close to
the wheel, lying on the deck, he perceived
dark, inert mass. Hello, there you
lubberr bawIed out the mate, what do
mean slice ping at your postP Then he
administered sound kick at what he
mistoOk for the sleeping sailor, but which.
90 his horror turned out TO be the bear,
With'a snort Of pain the brute hurled
himself upon the first officer, telling him
TO the deck with blow of his paw. Then
Selling the fallen officers leg Id his law
he actually bit it in two below the knee
cap.
by this time the captain and crew
were all on deck, but bruin, evidently
thinking discretion the better part of
va'o,, ciambered up the shrouds and
moment later perched himself comfort
ably up in the cross trees. The captain,
euraged at the condition of the wounded
men, ordered the cabin boy to bring him
his revolver and began peppering the
bear up he rigging.
Owing to the darkness and lurching
of the vessel, none of the missiles s'Iuck
the bear, so the captain wisely awaited
the break of day to settle bruins account.
When the day light finally came he
succeeded in killing the bear, who fell to
the deck with a loud crash. The captain
then set about to amputste the first
officers leg, there being no surgeon on
board, and the poor fellow died shortly
after from blood poisoning. The follow
ing day the other seaman died, and when
the Golden Star reached the Cape of
Good Hope her sails we're torn TO shreds,
her pinnacle was broken, and she was
badly damaged, and all on account of the
savage bear that tried to run the ship"

AN OLD MO HERS PRIDE.
How She Tried to Conceal, the Condition of
Her Drunken Son.

How She Tried to Conceal the Condition of
Her Drunken Son
81 am reminded of an incident which
witnessed few days ago on an out
going train" says a writer in the Indian
apolis News. "a plainly dressed old
woman and tall, awkward young man,
evidently her son, had been in the city,
and were going home. There was an I'M
certainty in the boys step as he came
into the car which indicated that he was
considerably Intoxicated. They sat down
t. gethef and he at once began to talk in
a loud voice. His words were dwelling
nonsense, without tinge of humor. His
mother, however, seemed strangely in
sensible of her sons disgrace. She
laugh freely at the inoohereLt remarks
aud replied to them, though IN so low a
tone that her words were inaudible to the
passengers.
"People exchanged surprised chances
and began TO talk of the unusual scene.
Some though: the mother Indifferent TO
her sons condition and therefore little
better than he, herself. Others were
more charitable and did not believe she
realized his condition.
Gas | listened it seemed to me the
womans tones we're not natural. There
was something that soundod strained and
affected in her laugh. Her old bonnet
was drawn down SO that her face was en-
tirely hidden and | observed she kept it
50, carefully. Then / began watching
her closely, for [ wanted to see her fea-
lures. | felt that glance at them would
assure me whether her cheerfulness was
real or feigned.
"The train hurried along, and began
to think my watchfulness was to go IN
rewarded. The young man rambIed
foolIshly OF with his talk, and his mother
continued to laugh at his pointless wit.
Then the engine whistled, and the
couple prepared to get off. / leaned for
ward and saw the woman tumble about
searching for a package. The hand she
put out trembled like an aspen. AS she
arose from the seat she turned her head
and l caught a glimpse of her face. Her
eyes were dimmed with tears and her
furrowed cheeko were wet. The express
sion of her countenance was SO sad that
it rises up before me day and night. TIL
poor woman in her pride had preferred
to appear uncons cious of her sons dis
grace, hoping the strangers who witness
ed it might not comprehend"

The Teacher Let That Boy Alone,
Atlanta Journal.


1t Is universally admitted that the
small Roy who has penchant for bugs,
end insects, and reptiles is the worst
variety of boy. There is one of this sort
IN Atlanta Who is an ornament to his
particular order of small boy. He spends
his afternoons and all of his spare time.
of which he seems to have good supply.
IN foraging in the country for bugs and
lizards. Every morning ne takes in his
pockets to school the results of his last
raid. Monday the spect mems Ct insect
ferrous and reptilian life that he can fish
up from the depths of his trousers
pockets are many and varied and awful
to touch and look at. Last week the
teacher took an inventory of the bugs
ana beasts found in his pockets, or that
escaped therefrom and terrified the
other children-and the teacher. There
was several varieties of beetles, pigeons
with broken wings, English sparrows,
butterflies, devil horses, slugs, snaiIs,
ea-thworms, lizards, snake or two, and
an occasional frog, damp and cold. One
day he slyly opened the flap of his
pocket, and then went on in his hard,
resolute effort to make his teacher think
he was studying. After a while the
teaoher notlced a grasshopper hopping
agilely from desk to desk amid the litter
and teehee of the scholars. A chase
was begun, when another grasshopper
was seer, then another, and they were
everywhere hopping all over the room
and sticking their sharp feet in the little
girls hair frightening them half to death.
Come hereH shouted the teacher to
the tender lover of insects, as she reached
for ferule. 'Give me your hand SIR"
The naturalist held out his hand as if
he was martyr to science. The teacher
was about to seize it when she caught
sight of two green eyes that flashed at
her from the boys hand and a sharp
forked tongue that seemed 10 dart into
her face. The boy mad a snake cooled
around his arm. He was not feruled and
the teacher has not felt well since.

Starving Miners.
Scenes of Terrible DtStitutiOn Among
Idle W0rkmen of the PennSyl-
wanna Coal Fields.
There is Something the Natter with
Labor in this Country Which Is
Worthy of Investigation.

NEW YoRK.-A Scranton, Pa, special
says: The long continued i6leuess at
the mine has caused much suffering among
tie poor of the Goa. fields, aud
hundreds OF families are destitute.
Strong, abie-bodied men. with large
families to support, are in sore need.
For the past six months many of them
have not averaged over $40 a month"
The Scranton Free Press of a recent
date give a somber picture of the desti
tute condition of the miners and labor
ers, and says:
The pathetic scenes of the long strike
of years ago, when workmen whose pride
led them to hide their poverty brought
empty dinner pals to the mines, e, being
re-enacted Low during the few days that
the mines are operated, and it is repre-
sented that grim want of the most ordi
nary necessities o: life exists in hundreds
of homes. In fact the suffering is great
er now than ever it wa. before.
During the former times of difficulty
many miners were enabled to find work
at outside labor at least part of the hours
of idieness, but now hundreds of Indian
and Hungarian laborers who live IN the
outskirts of the city, who live chesply on
the coarest kind of food, rush for ang
kind of employment that comes to hand
working al whatever wages they can get
When poor miner approaches a con
tractor or superintendent he finds ths'
every place is filed, and that hundreds of
applicants have been tured away"
From reports received, there seems to
be more suffering in h de Park than ii
any other section of the city. There coal
mining is about the only Industry.
The collieries of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western Railway Company
are all 81 uated there, and they work even
less time than the collieries of the other
companies. 1t was said that a few days
since black flags were displayed in several
places in that vicinity. The Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western com pany keeps
no com pany stores, but as rule individ-
ual operators in the lower part of the city
and LackaWanna township run institu
tious OF this kind.
At some of these stores, the clerks, or
at least portion of the working force,
are kept over night aud Sundays. The
operators understand the terrible needs
of the men, and they fear that they may
be tempted to make an attack upon these
well-filled stores. The miners are intelli
gent, peaceable and honest, but in try ing
times like these, it is hard to tell VIVA,
their necessities may force them to do.
The hard times are shown by the In
creased demand upon the poor board
at Fridays meeting. Several men ap
piled for relief because. having worked
all the time that the collierieS wsre il
operation, they were unable to earn
enough to support their families.
The condition of the poor is most dis
tressing, and it is intensified by the fact
that there is no prospect of better times
at the mines before the middle of June
owing to the policy of the coal combina
ton of crowdlng all the years work into
a few months.

Grating Fruit Trees.

Some methods of grating sre quite
difficult, but the two most in use are very
simple and every boy can practice them.
The cleft is the most simple and the
most common. The cion is cut with g
sharp knife, il the form of a wedge. A
branch of stock is cut off with 8 proper
ssv, and sith d heavy knife, strusS with q
msiiet, split cleft is made. This is kept
open with q wooden wedge, and the cions,
usually two in large stock, are carefully
set, SO that the inner bark of the cut por-
ton of the cion and that of the stock will
com, in contact. The wooden wedge
being carefully removed, the spring of
stock will hold the cions. All the bare
places on both stock and cion are covered
with grating wax to protect them from
rain and air.
