SOME one has said that "the average
man forms but an infnitesimal part of the
universe" This truth is sometimes re-
peated in order to impress men with their
insignifcance in comparison with the
grand schemes of nature. But while mans
littleness is to be admitted, we are to re-
member that all things are made up of
in6nitesimals. To each atom there is
given part, as important in performance
as the purpose of the whole structure of
nature. Man is certainly an infnitesimal
part Of the universe, but none the less he
is an indispensable part of its economy.
1t behooves every one Of these infinite
subdivisions of activity, therefore, to do
his part to the full limit of duty and
ability. It is his bounden duty to i'm
prove every opportunity for good that the
scheme OF nature opens to him. However
humble his mission, he must remember
that it is of as vital Importance in the
plau of life and soul as that of the most
exalted and gifted. No greater harm can
be done men than to teach them that they
are SO insignificant, SO infnitesimal in the
plan of the universe, that it matters little
what the direction of their activity, or
whether they loiter by the way or lead in
the race. The true teaching is that which
impresses the truth upon the mind that
every human being endowed with reason
has a part to play in the scheme of nature
as important within its sphere as is the
marvellous whole.

A CONTEMPORARY says that Congress-
man McKenna vouches for Minister
MINERS wisdom, Judgment, discretion,
courage and capacity. This is all very
well as far as it goes. but who will vouch
for Congressman McKenna's perception of
these qualities in men2 The Congressman
from the Third District has made highly
commendable record as a legislator, but
his selection of men for public station can
not be commended as manifesting either
deep penetration as to character of the
appointees or as to political sagacity in the
appointments themselves.

NEW FADs IN PARIS.
Ways of Partisan Fair Ones Which VIII BE
Initiated Elsewhere.


Feminine Paris has several new fads,
which will, therefore, of course, make
strong bid for popular favor. One of these
is the use of steel in combs and bonnet
trimmings Beside the bowknot design
there is band of cut steel, with balls of
the same and a series of small pins for
holding the hair. Jeweled belts are also
novelty, and the fronts of fad bodices are
trimmed with jeweled plastern, which
fits the figure and is like an elaborate en-
broidery of small diamonds
A new necklace is heavy white silk
cord, which encircles the throat, is held
by rich diamond slide, and the cords
hang down, finished with diamond mount
ing.
Yellow is the new color in writing paper,
stamped with silver and lead and periwin-
kle blue with silver stamps. There is
little change in form, but some of the en-
velopes are long, with square flap. A
caprice is to stamp the paper with the day
of the week in Spanish or Arabic; the for
eign letters in red or yellow have peculiar
effect
BY the by, have you noticed how lovely
the parasols of the fair sex are? Chiffons
from Worth in all the faint colors-in clear
white look like punches of clouds that keep
the sun from my ladies' eyes.
The entire scarlet girl has scarlet tulle
parasol, and looks-well, l cannot judge
as to how she looks, for l am prejudiced in
favor of the color. The all-white, all-black,
alfred and all-gray girls are to the fore,
but you must not conclude that the color
worn is in the least indicative of the girl.
The all-black, who looks SO quaint, has
broken up two families, and is in fair way
to do the same by third; the all-gray
looks dove-like, but is close kin to hawk,
seeking whom she may deyour; the all
white-the picture of innocence-is just a
picture of it, and not a reality, and the all
red-yell, ask some of the boys about her.
There are, then, no good, sweet women
Plenty, my boy. But they are not the
ones who are making themselves conspicu-
Gus at the watering places.
Here by the great sea, tnat seems to
sweep in with wicked caress whatever
comes near it, there are the very ones that
came walking from the ark, good and bad
alike. They drive with mother in her
handsome victoria, followed by tubfull of
children; the placid grandmamma in her
old-fashioned landau, beaming down at the
young girl; the elderly man, who likes
good horse when he sees it, but who gives
a charitable word to the boy who has been
taken in, are all seen in the procession
that goes to form Vanity Fair. Be little
charitable to the soiled doves, and re-
member what Mistress Becky Sharpe ad-
vised: at is SO easy to be good on $4,000
a year."

but it was novelty, and that is what the

gate and rode into the inclosure, followed
by his two attendants. He had, he said,
paid for the stock, and he was going to
take them.
Then the three cantered off in different
directions to bring the animals together.
But while they were SO employed the re-
port of rife caused them to scan the
country, and they perceived three men
galloping toward them.
"Them's Philpott's boys" said one of
Horace's new employees; "we'll wait for
'em."
And they sat upon their horses until
the three men, each holding revolver in
his right hand, rode up and asked in no
very polite language what they were doing
with the cattle.
Pm going to take them to my ranch"
said Greenfield. "Pve bought and paid
for them"
"Guess you amt bought these animals,
stranger" was the reply, "They belong
to our old man, and when he hears you
have bin tryin' to drive them of, he'll be
in favor of showing you how we treat cat
tie thieves out here. But you don't look
like thief, nohow."
aHe amt no thief" said another, she's
green furrier."
s'Did these cattle belong to Ezekiel Phil
pott ?' asked Horace.
'sThey did and they do" was the reply.
~ have his receipt for the purchase
money!" continued Greenfield, offering
them the paper.
The three cowboys read it. Then the
one who appeared to be the leader said,
STRANGER, you'll have to come and see the
old man. His names Ezekiel Philpott,
but he never signed that receipt, for
bullet happened into his elbow two weeks
ago and he's bin in bed ever since. He
couldn't hold pen to save his life"
With vague feelings Of uneasiness, the
Hon. Horace allowed himself to be con-
dncted to the residence of Ezekiel Phil
pott, which was about three miles away.
| Arrived there he was left in charge of the
others while the leader went and ex-
planned the situation to his master. In a
few minutes the young Englishman was
summoned to the presence of Mr.. Philpott,
whom he found lying in bed. After
saluting Horace with savage glare, he
said:
| perhaps, young man, you can explain
why you tried to drive off my cattle?
Sam says you bought 'em from some ore"
"And so did," Horace replied, and at
once gave full account of the transac-
! tion.
"Wal, stranger" said the wounded
ranchmap, shat beats anything | ever
heerd That man as you paid that money
to amt got no more to do with them cattle
than the Emperor of China has. Now,
look here, lad. I'm nigh on to sixty years
old, and pve been out here thirty, and
what I don't know about these parts amt
worth knowing. Take my advice. Go
home and stay thar. This amt no
country for you, and eff you stay you'll
only come to grief. A man as will give
| $4,000 to stranger for scrap of paper
amt going to get on hereabouts. You
shall sleep here tonight, stranger, and I'll
treat you Hospitality; but take my advice,
set out for home tomorrow"
And when that night Horace lay on the
hard bed in the old Texans house, the
rectory on his fathers estate appeared in
a more desirable light than it ever had be-
fore, and he came to the conclusion that a
country parsons life was better than a
ranchman's. He has returned home with
out the anticipated fortune and minus his
| aunts legacy.-Irue Flag

OK THE 25th of August a great engi-
neering feat was completed-the cut be-
meath the St. Clair river between Port
Huron, on our side and Sarnia, on the On
tario side. This great tunnel is eleven
feet longer than the Brooklyn bridge, and
is probably the largest and best river tun-
mel in the world, and besides its proper
length has $4,000 feet of approach upon
the Canadian side and 5000 upon that OF
the United States 1t will not be long
before railway trains will thunder through
this subterranean way, making the longest
under-river transit on the globe. What
with the greatest of suspension bridges
and the greatest of river tunnels, America
will take her place in engineering ranks

EDWIN ARNOLD went to Japan a not
very impressionable man, as far as women
were concerned. But his experience in
the Empire has resulted in an infatuation
for japanese women. According to the
poet philosopher, they are ''the prettiest,
daintiest and sweetest creatures on the
earth" The old man mas been SO smitten,
indeed, that he has abandoned his re-
searches into japanese history and legend
and now devotes himself to japanese beau
ties mainly. His friends fear that his rea-
son is unsettled, and are adopting devices
to lure him from the country. The proba-
bilities are that the poet is little touched
in the upper story. 1t is incredible that a
man who has seen so much of the world as
he has, can be absorbed by such beauty (?)
as japanese women possess, and not be un-
settled in his mind An old mans folly is
the insanity of declining age.

Horace nodded.
''Go and get it." the Texan continued,
"and when you've passed it over you can
take the cattle. One and fifty times thirty
is forty-fve hundred; that's what you want,
and trife 10 pay some boys help you

Horace went to the bank Che had de-
posted his money here when last in Aus
tin, there being no such institution as
bank in Helena), drew out the necessary
amount, and returning to the hotel, paid
the purchase money and took receipt.
Then the Texan told him to go and hire
two cowboys to help him to drive the cat
tie home and to bring them out to the
ranch. TO which he himself would at once
ride on and order his lads TO get the ami
mails together, so that no time need be
wasted.
Horace had no difficulty in finding two
mounted men willing to help him drive
his purchase to his ranch, and attended by
them he trotted off in hopes of overtaking
his new friend. But he arrived at the
field where the cattle were grazing without
doing so, and furthermore, on his arrival
could perceive no sign of the Texan. He
waited a few minutes, then said to one of
the COWBOYS: ats odd that Mr.. Philpott
isn't here. How can we get them out p
Cant do it." was the laconic reply.
"Rope's too plentiful hereabouts to be

Horace held out his receipt and each Of
