He Who lives on a BACK Street

If you want TO employ n barrister in
your case, whose name is known as q
special authority only TO your solicit
tor, you will be surprised to find
when you come to inquire that his
brief IS marked 100 guineas. II you go
TO tho specialists recommended for
your complaint by your medical di-
rector, you will see that he reckons
the value Of his casual CONVEX
sation at something like % shil-
lings the minute. If you desire
to buy q water color picture by an
obscure member of the institute or a
young exhibitor at the new gallery,
you will have TO pay some $50 down
for q square of paper ~ inches by 20.
But when you begin TO inquire into
the income of writers whose works we
read, to borrow the famous phrase of a
sister in the craft, from Tobolsk TO
Tangier," or whose books may be
bought in paper covers probably pi-
rated) at Valparaiso and Petropaulov-
sky, you discover to your astonish-
ment the strange and seemingly in
consistent anomaly that the man
known to half the world in q dozen
countries is earning about o~ne-twenti-
eth of the income earned by the man
known only TO the skilled in q partic-
ular profession in the city of London.
The American enthusiast, on u pilgri-
mage to the shrine of his most admir-
ed and worshiped English author,
has been heard to express his keen
surprise when he lighted at last on
the object of his ardent devotion in
an eight roomed cottage among the re-
hottest recesses of suburban Middle
sex, or "A him to earth in a dingy
stucco fronted family residence of the
eligible order Of architecture, lost
among the monotonous and dreary
desert OF a London back street How
does it come, then, that these things
are so2-The Fortnightly Review.

My st. Bernard, named Isla, had a
friend in a dog that lived at q cafe.
He met the cafe dog in his walks and
took him with him, but for moro than
a year his friendship never went SO
far as to invite the cafe dog, which
was o pointer, into the house. One
day, to my surprise, he came from his
walk, bringing the pointer, whose
namo was Antonio, in with him, pushed
his nose on to my breakfast table and
me to feed his friend. On inquiry
l found that the pointer was starving,
having been a day or two before beat
en- and kicked out Of the cafe for
breaking some flower pots. 1t Is GER
tain hat Isla must have known of his
distress, for from that moment hemade
Antonio at homo in his W house.

The HARMONY oE HOME.
Cultivate Good Temper for the Family
Circle Moro Than for Your Friends

Cultivate Good Temper for tho Family
Circle More Than for Your Friends
A homo of discord may be visited
by acquaintances, but its doors are
likely to be knocked at by
friends Sensible people will give 1t a
wide berth, and prefer friendship and
intimacy with those who live at peace.
Nobody finds n wise young man court
ing a girl in a family who get on i'll
among themselves BE wants a bird
out OF a good nest, and has no
wish TO be drawn in by marriage to
take one side of a life long hreside
feud- 1t is hard on a girl, you say.
Sometimes But about the young
mans sagacity there can be no ques-
ton whatever. If all homes were
happy what a pleasant world it would
be, and there is no reason why happi-
ness should not reign everywhere If
people would only make wisdom, and
not stupidity, the guide of their lives.
What strikes one as al odd thing is
that many are able to exercise patience
and common sense abroad, but find il
next TO an impossible task at home.
With them everything is done for the
benefit of society ut large and at the
expense of their own circle. In other
peoples houses they have q face like a
benediction, whilst in their own it is
disfigured with frowns. OF all follIes
this is one of the greatest AS if it were
not their interest, let alone their duty,
TO do exactly the reverse. II n one
has a mind TO be cross, snappish and
disagrceable, let her choose n field for
giving vent TO he. i'll humor rs far re
moved from home rs possible. Our
best side should be turned not 10
strangers, but TO those with whom we
dwell, and, while it is right TO wish for
the good opinion of everybody, we
should be anxious most Of all about
the favorable impression we make on
our own folks at homo.
If there is TO be household har-
mony an important point is 10 cult
vate n sweet temper. We cannot do
without that Some tempers are like
violin strings out of tune; with them
who can expect either melody or hnr-
mony from the family orchestral
This is specially a young woman's
subject; indeed, If our girls are not
nminble nobody else can be expected
TO be. 1t is 10 their kind and gentle
words that we must look for an anti
dote to fretting and i'll humor. At
home the keynote of the days music
is often struck by the first word we
hear in the morning, and happy is the
house where it is always uttered by
the smiling lips of good tempered
girls.-The Household.

Cheap, hand made cigarettes form n
delicious smoke, particularly if while
you arc enjoying them you let your
mind dwell in q pleasant reverie on
their origin. To one who knows, this
daily luxuryo of the cabman and waiter
Is redolent with associations, for
whence have been gathered tho ma
t~erialsR There is a three volume novel
In every cigarette. What q splendid
exercise in Imagination it is to figure
in ones mind who tho smokers were
who contributed each q cigar end, or
tho remains of q cigarette, or the
emptytngs of a pipe for the gamin to
dry and fizzle till It was ready to DO o
cigarette again. Youth, beauty, fash
ion, old age, vice and virtue may all
have smoked the tobacco in its earlier
form. 1t must be highly pleasing to
construct q group Of shadowy smokers
for acquaintance .-London Globe.

LIGHT AND SHADOW.

No light e'er shines without its shadow casting
gIonn<Rs deep and dark the other way;
no earthly beam can make its force 50 lasting
But that the night may shroud It's fading ray.
No human Joy without Its shaded sorrow,
To sprrad as wide and deep its whitening blight
Tho fullest pleasures tinges often borrow
From coming GHef. which dhrkens like the night
No sounds OF hughter, with their echoes waking
Tho sunlight air in surges of delight;
But there are means to show that hearts arc
breaking,
As the transient folly to requIte
The chandelier can never In its glowing
Light up the splendor of tho halls OF pride,
But that the tallow dip Is 4 family showing
Tho ghRstiy squaior where the poor reside
Il the first dawn OF the creation
The evening and the morning made the day;
So thro' the world, In every rank and station.
The light and shadow hold alternate sway.
Herr, tho tho shades their somber pals are cast
ing,
We should not droop or falter thro' despair.
Herr, tho the frosts the sweetest buds are blnst-
ing.
Their shadows come not, for no night IL there.

A Bath of State

The queen of Madagascar has taken
her yearly bath. This annual clean
ing up was observed with great pomp.
The French papers report hat the
queen was clothed all in scarlet and
seated upon n red velvet throne; a or
ner of the room was rallied off with red
curtains and behind this was rolled q
great bath tub set on wheels. A sol
emn procession filed through, bearing
the water for tho bath, materials for the
fire TO heat it, made directly under the
bath tub itself, the towels, soap, per
fume and various toilet appurtenances.
AS soon as tho water was sufficiently
heated tho fire was put out, prayers
were said and a hymn sung imploring
that the queen suffer no harm from
her daring act, and then, as she dis
appeared behind the curtain, a salvo of
artillery was fired and the drums beat
to announce 10 the excited multitudes
outside that the important part of tho
ceremony was taking place. At the
end of a brief fifteen minutes the
queen reappeared, somewhat paler in
hue, but gorgeously arraycd and wear
ing oil tho crown jewels. In her hand
sho carried nm ox horn, tipped and
bound with silver, full of water taken
from the bath just previous to her en-
franco to it Bearing this and accom-
panied by the primo minister, she
marched to the palace portal, where
she dipped n branch into the water
and sprinkled the spectators as they
pass along, which gave them the salts
faction Of feeling that they have in a
measure shared in the dangers which
tho queen as tho head of tho nation
had boldly confronted.-New York

The VIE Men Of L.roa-

Once, upon a great festival, the
town council of lagos went to the
parish church to hear mass. And all
the members OF the council were
dressed in secmly state in black coats
and tight black trousers and flowing
cloaks, and each wore a wide brimmed
hat Of black felt, over which a feather
CALAMITY curled. For their comfort a
leather covered bench was placed be-
fore the chancel rail. And when they
came to sit, each man, in the order of
his dignity, sat down upon the bench
and placed beside him his hat But
when six Of the twelve councillors
were seated the bench was full. Then
a whispered conference was held, and
it was decided that the bench must
be stretched. So six of them took hold
of one end and the other six took hold
of the other end, and they pulled
hard Then they came to sit again.
And now the first councillor put his
hat beneath the bench, and the second
did likewise, and SO did they all. And
they all in comfort sat down-by
which they knew that they had suff-
GENTLY stretched the bench.
Being thus seated the first councillor
crossed his right leg over his left leg,
anu 50 ulu the second councillor, and
SO did they all. But when came the
time in the mass when all must rise
not one of the councillors could tell
certainly which two Of the twenty
four legs were his, for all were clad
in tight black trousers. and all were
crossed. And each man looked at the
many legs among which were his
own, and sorrowfully wondered If he
ever should know his own legs among
SO many and so be able to rise and
walk. And while they thus pondered
it fell out that the first councillor was
bitten by a flea fiercely in his rearward
parts. And the first councillor slapped
at the flea, and that he might slap the
better uncrossed his legs. Then the
second councillor knew which were his
legs, and SO did the third, and SO did
they all. And so they all uncrossed
their legs, and with great thankful
ness arose.-Scribner's Magazine.

THE MASAC MINES.

Five Hundred MongOIians to Go
Down on July 1st.
Col. Theophilus Masac was in town
again yesterday for business trip, and
will leave again today for San Diego.
Speaking to a HERALD man about the
mining deal he said "My first detach-
ment OF Chinese laborers, $50 strong,
will cross the line on the let Of July, and
will be followed at short intervals by
more parties, until l get 500 OF
the Mongolians on the ground.
We intend to go to work in good earnestp
and if there is any gold in that district
we are going to have it out. At present
there are so mines ready for working, SO
you see that, with 500 men, there will be
a paratively small force on the
ground. If things go as we ex-
pect and hope they will, we will
import laborers until there are 5000
men in the mines. if necessary. At
first we will draft the Chinese
out of this part of the State, commencing
at San Diego, then here, and 80 on
northwards, but, of course, we will have
right away number OF expert
hydraulickers from the Yuba and Sutter
sections. We have not yet decided
where we will make our head offices, as
we have San Diego, Los Angeles and San
Francisco to choose from. The
mines will be put in charge OF
an expert general manager who has
passed lifetime in the business"
