Trying to Cheat Nature.

While we should pronounce that man
mad who should endeavor to keep back
the waves at high tide. or secure sun
light without shadow, the sanest of Us
are doing something of the same sort in
another direction. For example, a man
pursues wealth without counting the
cost He foresees its pleasures, its adj
vantages, its opportunities, but not the
duties and responsibilities it will in
volve, nor the sacrifice of other and
perhaps higher things which its
eager pursuit will demand Gradually,
without intending it, he resigns one
thing after another in his absorbing
work. Perhaps it is in his health, his
culture, his family freside. or even his
self-respect Presently he gains the OBJ
ject of his chase; but the happiness he
expected has mesntims slipped swsy,
and the account Is mare than balanced
90 the other side He may not SEQ his
losses with the Sane vtvidness that he
sees his gains; but, if he is poorer in
health, or i'm power, or in character, or in
domestic happiness. he has overreached
himself in his vain endesvos TO o1eSt

THE SAW-DUST SWINDLE.
It's Old as the Hills, But Still rays Hand
some Profits.

It's Old as the Hills, But Still rays Hand
some Profits.
Every community has percentage.of
people who are on the alera for some
dishonest method of making money.
To such every raScally device that
promises quick return and large profits
is more fascinating than the most legit-
innate enterprise that calls FOR honest
endeavor. The so-called saw-duss
swindle has been worked for years on
those who prefer to direct their talents
to raScality. The swindlerS send out
circulars to persons who are expected TO
be Influenced thereby, stating in most
mysterious terms that counterfeit green
backs which can not be detected by tho
most experienced cashier may be pur-
chased at very low price. The cir
cular pledges the recipient in the moSs
solemn manner not to diVulge the Sc
cret, and calls on the Almighty in every
line to witness the sincerity ~ the offer
and the truth of the statement that the
spurious notes are as sure to
pass current as the standard coin
of the Nation. If the recipient of the
circular be up to the required grade &C
dishonesty and creduiity he opens nego-
tiations for the purchase of the spurious
greenbacks and gets robbed The ad-
dress of the swindlers is always false,
and they obtain their mail in a rounda-
bout way through accomplices who
warn them of danger. OF course no
counterfeit money is returned the dis
honest negotiator for his remittances,
and having made himself orirninis by
trying to perpetrate felony. he is
deferred from lodging n complains
against the swfndlers- The term saw
dust swindler originated in the fact
that the early perpetrators of the
scheme, who practiced their wiles di-
rectly on their victims and not through
the mails, handed them careful Ully-sealed
boxes in return for the money paid for
the spurious notes The victim was
not allowed to open the box until out
side the swindler's Office, and then il
was too late to obtain revenge, for the
thieves had hown.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

How q Cow Once Upon 4 Time Saved =
Whole Ships Grew

How . Cow Once Upon Il Time Saved 4.
Whole Ships Grew
The cow is a useful animal rs every
one knows. 1t would go hare with mar
kind to do without milk anG beef: but
the commonest objects are sometimes
put to uncommon uses, and an English
officer. who was on his way t. India de-
scribes how a COW saved a whole ships
crew. not by supplying then with food,
but by lifting up her voice.
The ship had to put in at the Cape Of
Good Hope, and we arrived of Table
Bay toward evening. As We rounded
Green Point dense fog suddenly came
on, and we could not see sly yards
from the ship.
The cable had been got y. ranged
along the deck. and bent on to an
anchor; the courses were ciegged up, sail
shortened, and under the three topsails
the captain, keeping the lead going,
steered as near as he could guess for
the center of the bay, inten6in g TO drop
anchor when well in
ALI at once one of the passengers
called out: 81 hear a cow We all
listened, and all heard it distinctly.
The anchor was instantly let go, the
ship swung round head to wind, and i'm
mediately we heard the roar OF heavy
surf breaking on the shore. how far OF
we could not tell, but it seemed terribly
near. The water shoaled rapidly. to
ward the stern. and all passed an IN
comfortable night, for if the wind should
get up, our fate would be sealed.
The early morning light showed rs
our perilous position; instead Of steering
for the center of the bay, we had been
standing over to the low. sandy shore
opposite Cape Town, and but for the
lowing of the cow, accidentally heard
by passenger, in less than two minutes
we should have been % shore.-Youth's
Companion.

her horror. But what would the repub-
licans think if some of the democratic
Charleston or Jacksonville newspapers
should during her visit ridicule Presi-
dent Harrison as a coarse and mis-
shapen beast, and upbraid her for hav-
ing thrown herself away on a man
whom she could never love? They
would probably paint the whole land a
brilliant red, and threaten to invade
the state of South Carolina with an
army to wipe out the insult.
Yet this is exactly the way that re-
publican newspaper in Minneapolis
treated President and Mrs. Cleveland
when they were the guest of that city
q few years ago. Democrats will never
forget nor forgive that brutality, but
they will never retaliate for it either.
There are some offenses Of the republi.
can party that we can repay in kind
but many of its usurpations and indie
cencies can not be initiated by any sell
respecting person or party and the In
cessant insults offered Mr.. and Mrs
Cleveland are am ong Chicago

Democratic Gains.

The local elections held on Monday
in different parts of the country con-
tinue, in the main, the record of demo-
cratic gains which began to appear as
soon as the country saw the character
and purpose of the Harrison admins
tratiOn.
The democratic victories last Novem-
Der in Ohio, Iowa and Virginia pre-
saged a reaction against the partisan
excesses which marked the republican
restoration. The local elections last
month showed that the force of the pop
ular revulsion was not spent. And
now from Indiana, the president q
home, from Michigan, Ohio, Iowa and
Connecticut come reports of the same
nature.
Some of these local contests are, nc
doubt, Influenced by other than politi.
cal considerations. But in many OF
the cities and towns 3 party conflict
was squarely made and the preponder.
ance of democratic gains is too marked
not to be significant.
1t is evident that the voters Of the
country do not approve of President
Harrison's thick-hided disregard OF
his pledges, nor of the republican policy
as outlined in congress, of reducing
revenue by increasing taxes. The
signs are propitious for the election OF
a democratic congress next autumn
