JOHNsTOwN, Pa, June 6.-From
Johnstown up the valley easy communi-
cation has been opened as far as Cone
maugh, two miles, and it is possible for
any one here to readily behold sight
never before seen in this world, and
which no one who does not see it lTim-
self will ever.believe did really exist. It
is described here as well as words can
describe it, but merely as a duty to his
tory, and not with the idea that anyone
who can not look at it viii ever think it
true.

covered with trains, freight and
passenger, and with machine shops,
round houses and other heavy bulldogs
with heavy contents, and has torn the
track to pieces, twisted, turned and
crossed it as fire never could. 1t has
tossed huge freight locomotives and cars
like packing boxes, torn them to pieces
and scattered them over miles Of terri
tory. 1T has In one place put stream

road and the bluff. and in another place
it has changed the course Of the river as

Plague of Tigers in Java.

According to the administration re-
port of Java, recently laid before the
Dutch Chambers, portions of that ISL
and are being depopulated through
tigers. In 1882 the population of a
village in the southwest of the Bantam
province was removed and transferred
to an island off the coast in consequence
of the trouble caused to the people by
tigers. These animals have now be-
come an intolerable pest in parts of the
same province. The total population
is about 600, 600, and in 1887 81 were
killed by tigers, and in consequence of
the dread existing among the people
it has been proposed to depOrt the in
habitants of the villages most threat
ened to other parts of the country where
tigers are not so common, and where
they can pursue their agricultural oc-
equations with a greater degree of Sc
curity. At present they fear to go
any where near the borders of the for
est. The people at present seem dis
inclined, or they lack the means and
courage, to attack and destroy their
enemy, although considerable rewards
are offered by the Government for the
destruction of beasts of prey. In 1888
the reward for killing royal tiger was
raised to 200 forms. It appears, also,
that the immunity of the tiger is in
part due to superstition, for it is con-
sidered wrong to kill one unless he at
tacks first or otherwise does injury.
Moreover, guns we're always very rare
in this particular district, and since
he rising few years ago, have been
taken away by the authorities alto

Rest is as needful az work 20 man, and
work and rest ought to be secured In due
proportions by every man, But that which
Is rest to one man would be work 20 an

has certain kinds OF work which he loves
TO do for their own sake, and which there
fore are restful kinds of work, while ether
kinds of work must be done for simple
duty's sake, and 80 are exhausttnR kinds
Of work. 1t behooves every man TO have q

Lord Bacon sayss In studies, whatsoever
a man commandeth upon himselfe, let him
set houres for it. But whatsoever is agree-
able to his nature, let him take no care for

Too Solicitous hY HalE

A lady was very sOlicitous about her
health. Every trihe made her uneasy,
and the doctor was called in immedi-
ately. The doctor was skillfuI man,
and. consequently, had large prac-
tjce. 1t was very disagreeable to him
TO be so often called away from his
other cases for nothing, and he re-
solved to take an opportunity of letting
the lady see this.
One day the lady observed a red spot
upon her hand, and at once sent for the
doctor. He came, looked at the hand
and said: You did wei to send for
me early"
The lady was alarmed, and asked:
''Is it dangerous. then?"
Certainly not, " replied the doctor;
tomorrow the spot would have dis
appeared without my assistance, and /
should have lost my fee for this visit :"

So quietly on her breast;

Yet beautiful hands to me.
