Lille Is like crooked railroad,
And the engineer Is brave,
Who can make successful trip
From the cradle TO the grave.
There are stations all along 1t,
Where at almost any breath,
Youll be "aagged" to stop your engine
BY the passenger Of death:
Noa may run the grades Of trouble,
Many days and years with ease,
Buttime may have you "side tracked
BY the switchman Of disease.
You may run the bridge of manhood,
Run the tunnel long Of strife,

A Big Strike Imminent.

NEW YORK, August 2l.-The men,
bers of the general executive board
knights of Labor, were late in MAX
ing their appearance at st. Cloud this
morning. The chiefs sergeant with
his companions, Messrs. Howard,
Sweeny and Wilkerson, had left long
before on a train for Terre Haute.
Mr.. Sergeant said the meeting of the
federation would be held there, with
the undoubted result that strike on
the Vanderbilt system would be or
dered, as he and his three associates
had endorsed the action of the gen.
eraI executive board of the Knights OF
Labor. He believed that the supreme
council of federation would sustain
it. He said also that the action of
Mr.. Webb adhering to the stand he
had taken, rendered the action taken
necessary. Mr.. Webb arbitrary meth
DDS and utter refusal to arbitrate
made it useless to deal with him any
longer.

DEATH STOPPED THE FIGHT.

Midnight Struggle of a Pair of Jer-
boas in the Park Zoo.
New York Times.
In remote and gloomy corner of
the Central Park Menagerie there
took place during the midnight hours
of Tuesday struggle to the death.
The battle was between two jerboas,
and it only ceased after the spirits of
the two contestants had flown to that
happy hunting ground from whence
no jerbOa has e'er returned.
For the benefit OF the very ex-
tremely ignorant persons who do not
know what a jerboa is, it may be
stated that humanity is indebted to
Cuvier for its distinction as the Dypus
Egyptius. 1t is an animal found
only in the land of the Nile, and
there IN such small numbers that it is
reported that the descendants of the
ancient Pharaohs are considering the
advisability of protecting them with
a game law. They are built much
like kangaroo, and have a similar
style of "hop, skip and jump" loco
motion; bat at full growth are no
larger than good-sized water rat.
The jerboa has other leading char
acteristics. He has whiskers, beauti-
full white whiskers, as soft as silk
and inches long. He has a tail as
long as his body, with tuft of black
fur on the end, which serves as a
sort of steering apparatus. With
this tall and his strong hind legs it
Is stated that he can fump over the
ground and outdistance a good horse.
Another popularity of the jerboa is
that it never partakes of water or
any liquid.
1t was with great pleasure that Di-
rector of the Central Park Menagerie
Conklin week ago received from DR..
Allen McLane Hamilton a gift of
pair of these queer animals. The
jeroba has reputation for preterring
fighting to eating, but the little
beasts seemed so docile when they
were turned over to Keeper Shannon
cage together. There was nothing in
thOIl W illtl tlllS
decision. They were not affectionate
toward each other, but they at least
minded their own business and spent
their time eating, hopping around the
cage and playing with their whis-
kers. Every now and then one
would poke his tongue out, but
whether this act was one of pleasure
to himself or expressive of scorn to
his fellow is not known.
such was the condition of affairs
when Keeper Shannon lett his pets
Tuesday night. 1t was between that
time and the following morning that
the battle to the death took place.
Its details are known only to the 9TH
er animals in the menagerie house,
and they refuse to say word con-
corning the struggle. Its ferocity can
only be imagined by the condition in
which the contestants were found.
They were lying side by side in
Deaths last gasp. They were placed
on newspaper side by side. Within
five minutes they were dead. One
had lost an eye and the other a part
of his jaw. The beautiful white
whiskers of both had been torn out
by the roots. Each had with his
teeth torn both fur and flesh from the
other They looked as if they had
passed through sausage machine.

JUSTICE NEVER SLEEPS.

An Ohio Solomon Proves the Fact to an
Obstinate Prisoner.
While at the post-off1ce in an Ohio
village heard the report that MUIR

lowed the crowd to the lookup to learn
more about it. There found prison

professional tramp. He was about forty
years of age, very cool, and he greeted
the charge of murder with laugh. In
q short time he was taken before JUS.
tice of the peace for examination, and l
found seat in the crowd. One look at
the justice satisfied me that he realized
the awful gravity of the situation and
felt the foundation stone of the
United States resting on his broad
back.

The Tramp Was Shocked.

He was persistent street beggar; his
beat was on Van Buren street near
Clarke he would hang on to man for
half a block persistently asking for a
dime with which to pay for his lodging.
There happened along a couple of we'll
dressed newspaper men, who to all ap-
pearances seemed to ownthe town The
beggar stepped out from his dark corner,
squared himself before the two men, and
was about to present his accustomed
plea, when the nearer of the two sud-
denly faced the tramp and said:
"Say, friend, gimme dime to get a
drink, for I'm so blanked hungry that l
don't know where I'm going to sleep to-
night" at
The professional beggar first looked
puzzled, then amused, then gave two or
three convulsive gasps and fell ain a fit.

THE GAMBLING MANIA.
An Epidemic That Is Growing More yiru-

An Epidemic That Is Growing More yiru-
lent Every Day.
The passion for gambling has for
many years been increasing in this
country, until it threatens to become
pre-eminently the national vice.
Whether it arose from the fever for
speculation which indirectly was one of
the most evil of the results of the rebel
lion in the North, or whether the cause
is to be looked for in that general spirit
fastening to be rich that Is prominent
characteristic of American civilization
it might not be easy to determine; but
of the fact there Is unhappily no room
for doubt
1t is not alone that the lostery has be-
come national institution; for however
much one may shirk from acknowledge
ing this, it is practically the truth.
It,is not alone that so many millions
flow yearsby year into the pockets of
avowed lotteries, American and foreign,
or that the resources of the country are
constantly on thestrain caused by the in
fluence of legalized gambling of the
Stock Exchange. 1t is in hundred diff
ferent ways that the tendency of the
times shows ITSELF 1t 10 in the constant
illusions to poker-playing which figure
in the columns of every newspaper, which
adorn every farce, and which form half
the steck in trade of the so-called comic
paragrapher. 1t is in the complete mania
for betting on horse-racing that has ia
ken possession of the clerks and the
young men of New York, and which is
steadily on the increase in Boston.
Every day, rain or shine, summer and
winter, in snow storms which would
seem to make it impossible, and in going
SO bad that ''mud-horses" are feature
of the betting, the races go on, not al
all in the interest of the sport, but en-
tirely for the sake Of the book-making.
The same spirit shows itself on every
side; and if halt is not called soon, We
shall excel the Chinese in the vice o.
gambling. The epidemic is upon us, ant
who has any remedy to propose?-Bos

A Safe Hobby to Ride.

A hobby is apt to be an expensive pal-
frey. 1t sometimes costs piles of money
to groom and run it, and 1t seldom wins
purses and cups enough to pay for Its
keep and entrance, fees. Nevertheless,
as man, in the absence of some special
object to engage his thoughts, is almoet
sure to get into mischief, it is better
for him to push ahead on any sort Of q
hobby that is not vicious, than to
lounge through life in q slipshod,
desultory way, without definite aim or
purpose. No matter what other praise
worthy hobbies a man may have, he
should make conscience the prime fav-
orite of his moral stud. That is a
hobby that is always safe. Give it the
rein freely, never curb or check it, 60
with it in whatsoever direction Its
divine instinct would guide you. and
over every hill of difficulty" through
every slough of despond," 1t shall
take you safely to the marrow house,
which shall seem to be as the

. VALUE OF THE PAST.
1t Tells in the Most Insignificant Acts OF
the Present.

1t Tells in the Most Insignificant Acts OF
the Present.
The power Of the past over every IN
slant Of the present is 80 subtle in its
operation that it tells in the most insig-
nifcant acts. One Of my friends who
has had much experience in tuition tells
me that he knows Immediately, without
asking questions, whether young man
has had classical education or not A
close observer might possibly guess
from the slightest movements If young
man had been accustomed to athletic
exercises.
In all the arts there are momentary
difficulties that only the most dexterous
can fully overcome. In other words, the
labor of years is concentrated in the
skill Of moment the extensive past
operating with all its accumulated force
upon the narrow present On witness
ing these momentary displays of skill
that is almost incomprehensible. a
thoughtful person is chiefly impressed
by that marvellous law Of nature which
makes years of previous labor available
all at once.
The great difficulty in employing the
Present we'll is that the. use of 1t must
form part Of, some consistent scheme or
well-devised arrangement life. There
is no satisfactory Present that Is not
we'll rooted in the Past. 1t is the sense
Of this great need Of the Past which
drives people who have no steady pur-
suits to perpetual waste of time.
They feel that desultory efforts are use.
less, and they can not determine to un-
dertake those that might be effectual
and continuous. Hence the great
advantages in trades and profes.
sions, that they insure con tinuity; they
keep the cobblerito his last, the painter
to his palette. 1t Is thus, in the ar.
rangements of nature, that the Present
is made so valuable, that men are, on
the whole, SO wonderfully efficient now
when we want their services, and do no,
put us off with promises of future utili.
| ty. This is the one admirable result
that civilization helps usnow, that the
telegraph is ready to take our. message
and the steamer ready to. start and the
fire-engine ready to stop the conhagra
tion. The increased experience of the
human race is leading 1t more and more
to appreciate the Importance OF the
Present and to look upon. the Future
only as that which will be the presen

Flowers in Full Dress.

Flowers are used in increasing abund-
ance in full dress costumes. A pretty
gown is of yellow gauze or tulle, with
Josephine bodice, trimmed with long
sprays or wreaths of violets. Another
is of pink faille, full train, the pink
gauze drapery held in place with masses
of pink orchids. Still another elaborate
gown of white merveilleux with a
ground of pink brocade has pink tulips
on the skirt and as a corsage bouquet,
A pistache green moire has a deep hem
of Parma violets, while pale blue crepe
de chine is trimmed with garland OF
marguerites falling lightly from the
shoulder to the waist and ending in a
flutter of ribbons on the right side.--
