An amusing instance of southern per-
severance under difficulties recently came
to our ears. A young lady from Louisi-
ana had heard much of Mrs. Leslie Car
ter's beauty, and fearful that she would
not see the new star in the south the en-
terprising girl made friends with a
habitue of the Ladies' Athletic club,
which adjoins the Berkeley Lyoeum,
where Mrs Carter is rehearsing, and
cOaxed the latter 10 find out if there was
any secret communication between the
buildings. Curiosity found 4 way, but
very small one, and the girls crawled
through it and obtained an entrance to
the Berkeley while rehearsing was ON.
Miss Entete this isn't her real name,
enjoyed the breaking in more than she
did the rehearsal. She says Mrs. Carter
is being coached by Belasco, even to the
least infection of her voice. The ad-
mirable points about her are her abun-
dant blonde hair and her dressing. She
wore neglige-one OF those famous
negliges - of shimnering blue which
fitted her form like a mold The two
girls staid through about half an hour of
Did say that right, Mr.. Belesco?' and
is that the way you want me to do it7-
with which Mrs. Carter interlarded the
dialogue of the play, and then crowded
back to the Athletic rooms and washed
the dust from their hands.-New York

Took Away the harvard Mans Breath.
Two men We're walking down town to
business the other day. One of them
was a Harvard man. The other was
graduated at a most venerable and yet
somewhat formidable rival Of that uni
versity whose motto is Lax ct Veritas. y
They had arrived at City Hall park, and
were picking their doubtful way through
the crowd which was surging between
the elevated station and Frankfort street
Suddenly the Yale man exclaimed:
Hold on minute, old fellow! l want
to speak to friend
The Harvard man turned and saw his
friend in the act Of shaking hands with
fine looking, middle aged man who
wore long siIken beard, and whose sum
Drowned face and powerful frame showed
the good effect of many vacation moons
spent upon the wave and in the depths
of the forest. The Yale man continued
in earnest conversation with the hand
some looking man for a few moments,
and then, after leave taking which was
almost brotherly on both sides, Joined
his comrade, who said:
"Who was that MANI"
''Who?' said his friend; didn't you
recognize him? Why, we sat near him
and his family on the grand stand at the
football championship game up at New
Haven in 1880. That was the famous
Professor B. W. He was my division
officer once, and is one of the most popu-
lar instructors at Yale"
well, that is just like you fellows" :"
said the other; ''but,' continued he, Il

pen to Harvard man if he were to stop

Need of Pure Air.

In public halls and vehicles the oppres-
sion of foul air IS insupportable and
amounts to direct poisoning of the en-
feebled organ, A heart seriously weak
ened, if kept in pure, warm air, fed with
delicate, nourishing food and kept from
fatigue and mental strain, will regain
strength as naturally as we get rest from
sleep. 1t has great recuperative powers,
But half hour in the mephitic air of a
travelling car or a public hall does more
to make recovery impossible than almost
any other cause mentionable. This is a
matter which more than ever deserves
to be pressed upon the attention of rail
way companies, to whom the mass of our
people must trust their lives and health
for share of their days quite long enough
to injure both.
The risk Of accident by train is not half
so great as the certainty of imbibing
virulent poison from one to two hours
daily in unventilated cars. A sanitary
commission is needed to set the strict, un-
biased facts of the matter before railway
managers. Shirley Dare in New York

FULL OF PERIL.

An AgoniEtng Adventure In a Gold Mine
Shaft That Scared Two Mon.
About rs tight place as 1 ever got
into, said Comstcek miner, was some
years ago at the old Empire shaft, Gold
Hill. Myself and another man were
down in the shaft for the purpose of
trimming it up, as the swelling ground
was squeezing the sides and it was a
good deaf out of shape.
We were not on q cage, but simply on
a platform Of planks, with ropes going
up from the corners to the main cable,
which was of hemp. When we reached
a tight place in the shaft we stopped and
trimmed out the guides, then went on
till another such place was reached.
At one point, having given the signal
to lower, we went down some distance,
when we finally stuck. We reached for
the bell rope TO give the signal to stop,
but we found that it had wound round a
nail some distance above, and we could
not use it. The engineer knew nothing
of our trouble, and continued to lower
away. There was no station near, and
on all sides rose the smooth walls of the
shaft, leaving Us suspended over the
horrible chasm.
Down upon us came the heavy cable.
We feared every moment that the plat
form would turn over or would be press
ed through the tight place and drop from
under US. All we could do was to get
hold of the cable and keep the coils of it
under our feet as it came down. Should
the platform turn over or drop from un-
der US we might be able to save our lives
by hanging on to the cable.
We shouted up the shaft till we were
hoarse. but no one heard our cries, and
steadily down came the cable, causing
US great trouble to keep on top of its
coils We felt that the great weight
must soon start the platform, when both
would most likely be hurled to the bot
tom of the shaft.
Finally, to our great relief, the cable
ceased to descend. For long time we
waited in suspense, not knowing what
would be the next move of those above.
At last, however, we heard the voice Of
man shouting down 70 Us from the
nearest station above. We explained
our perilous position in few words,
and at length the great cable began to
crawl slowly up the shaft again. Still,
being afraid the platform would give
way, we were obliged to keep hold of
the rope and dance about on the coils as
they unwound.
1t was tedious business, and was all
the time the matter of the toss of a cent
whether we got out alive or went to the
bottom; but at last the platform tight
ened up under Us and we began to as
cend. Our work was over then and We
felt safe. On arrival at the surface we
found that the engineer had concluded
that we were going too far, and halting
or stopping his engine had sent man
down to the station to find out if any
thing had gone wrong.
may have been in more dangerous
places in the mines, but was never in a
place where the danger lasted SO long,
and all the time up to fever heat. 1t
was too long time for any mans hair
to stand on end.-New York World

He Changed His Diet.

A vegetarian of this city has become q
flesh eater since he discovered scientific
law that he had not previously been
aware of. He changed his mind upon
the diet question, and got convinced that
meats were among the proper edibles for
mankind after he had been assured by a
professor of chemistry that beef, mutton
and pork were merely transformed
grass, vegetables and grain" After pom
dering upon this interesting law of chemi-
cal transformation he came to the con-
clusion that vegetarianism is a doctrine
of narrow scope, and he adopted a new
dietetic policy, under which he now en-
joys tenderloin steaks, lamb chops and
fried bacon, not to speak of stewed kid
ney, pigs feet and tete de veau.-New
York Sun.

GRAcELAND'S GRAVES.

A peaceful city lies over there;
Never heartache, never a care;
No more longinss for brighter days.
Nor fruitless st-lvings for higher ways,
Peace with the world, at rest in God;
Home once more to the kindly sod.
Where roses bloom and the fresh grass waves
A gladsome vigil DER Graceland's graves.
Some summer morning when skies are bright
Some night IN winter when SHOWS are white;
1t matters little the time por when
We Ehal have done with the cares Of men;
Gone the way where our fathers led,
Into the mystery Of the dead;
Seeking the peace the spirit Graves.
Choosing a home midst Graceland's graves
None can know the burdens borne.
Nor the cruel weight of yokes we've worn;
Tne broken idols were all our own
The lips would smile when the heart would moan
Bravely acting each one his part,
Hiding the dead hopes in the heart;
We come to the sitting of the waves,
And sunset leaves US at Graceland's graves.
And when we're gone from the haunts of men,
VIII the world have less OF sunshine then,
VIII mother. sister, sweetheart, wife
Love more If eternity. less Of lifes
Are We building monument high and grand,
Or dingy hovel upon the sands
So We ask our hearts as the mind o'erStrays
To the peaceful city Of Graceland's graves

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Tyranny often defeats its own aims.
Experience is a good teacher but cost
ly.
Provide for the worst, the best will
save itself.
One knows the value of pleasure only
after he has suffered pain.
An evil intention perverts the best
actions and makes them sins.
Experience is the name men give to
their follies or their sorrows.
A fool always finds some one more
foolish than he to admire him.
To love is to admire with the heart;
to admire is to love with the mind.
No man can answer to his own valOr
or courage until he has been in danger.
We salute more willingly an aequaint-
anee in carriage than friend on foot.
never like to say farewell even for
four-and-twenty hours; one should van
ish like spirit.
True economy is not found in the pur-
chase of thing that can be bought for
the least money.
Whatever you dislike in another per-
son take care to correct in yourself by
the gentle reproof.
o, sweet past! sometimes remem-
brance raises the long veil, then we weep
in recognizing thee.
True politeness consists in being easy
ones self, and in making everybody
about as easy as one can.
1t is great misfortune not to have
enough wit to speak well, nor enough
judgment to keep silent.
Sorrows are gardeners-they plant
flowers along waste places and lead
vines to cover barren heaps.
We are apt to forget the main bust
ness of life until vain repentance re-
minds us of it at the wrong end.

Terrapin Farming.

A terrapin farm is described by The
Fernandina (Fla.) News 1t is an in
closure about twenty feet square, one
half of it filed with loose sand and a
tank occupying the rest of the space.
The tank is below tide level, and at high
tide the salt water runs in from the
marsh to depth of four feet. The tank
was all perforated with holes, and the
owner, digging down with his fingers,
unearthed some baby terrapins an inch
or two long.
