the eastern slope of the Ro, kies. He
was considered one of the bravest of all
the brave lot
The precious stuff carried by these
was made up of business
of the greatest impor-
lance. No love letters freighted with
promises and verses ever weighed the
ponies, and no bulky newspapers were
carried as mail. The ponies were light
ly shod, if they wore any shoes at all;
the riders were clothed as simply as the
weather would allow, and every mes
sage conveyed was written on the thin
nest of paper and folded into the least
possible space. The messages were
placed in light saddle-bags, which were
thrown over the small racing saddles
used. The bags were the only thing
changed. the new pony always having
stood, saddled, ready for the express
man to jump on his back.
The ponies started from Sacramento
and st. Joseph daily, so that there was
a continuous procession of the little
racers extending both ways across the
great West Despite the fact that five
dollars a letter was charged as express
age, the scheme lost money for its man
ayers and Colonel Russell died poor
man largely as a result of his efforts to
maintain the pony express. The tele-
graph came about the time the ponies
began paying for themselves and with
it came the end of one of the most re-
markable institutions in the always
wondrous annals of the great West.
No Sunol Axtel or Palo Alto ever re
ceived better care or more petting than
these wild, tough ponies of the plains
and in their rough, big-hearted way the
miners and pioneers cheered the little
fellows as they sped along. and in every
camp and within every stockade their
virtues and wonderful work were laud'
ed to the skies.-Kansas City Times.

EVERY THING NEW.
A Foreigners View of Americans an
Their Homes.

A Foreigners View of Americans and
Their Homes.
A shrewd German observer who visit
ed this country during the last year re-
marked to a friend: THE popularity
about wealthy Americans wnich strikes
a foreigner is that they all have just
built their homes. Magnificent houses
they are, to be sure, Astounding in art
treasures, but-they are brand-new. If
you ask your host where did he live
year ago, ne does not show you. Are
they, then, all ashamed of the homes of
their childhood?"
OF course there is an almost Yankee
exaggeration in this statement of the
case. There are score and hundreds of
charming old homes; but there is also
some truth in the somewhat bitter sneer.
American men, women and families are
pushing on. progressing in wealth, cult
ire and social position. They are re-
solved to occupy higher place in the
worlds eye, and to command more APP
plause for the to-morrows of their lives
than they had for the to-days.
But what to do with the yesterdays?
All boys know that the crab which
grows rapidly, but that its shell can not
expand. Periodically, therefore, the
crab breaks out of the narrow shell,
buries it's cast-off clothing in the mud,
and presents itself new, larger and
more important creature to the view of
its companions.
The man or the family who is pushing
up to higher social levels breaks in the
same way out of old shells. There is
the humble, implanted village house in
which the youth of the great millionaire
was passed. Is the man who is risen in
life ashamed to show it to his foreign
guest who, in the new palace, asks to
see the family homestead?
There are the grammatical slips, the
oldtime country manners of the woman
just admitted into fashionable circles;
shall she be ashamed of them, or let
them pass as of trivial weight while,
with simplicity and sincerity, she en-
deavors to make friends in her new life?
Or, there are the old friends and kins-
folk who were so dear in the days of
our poverty-shall we turn our backs on
them, hide them out of the sight of our
new companions?
These are the shells which the pros
porous American slOughs off as he grows
in wealth and importance. He can not
bury them in the mud as the crab does
his old skin.
There is no better test of a man than
his behavior concerning these proofs
and relics Of his former poverty and
humble estate. A coarse man can make
a huge fortune; a vulgar woman can
push her way in society, but it is only
the thoroughbred gentleman or gentle
woman who lives above the petty ex
ternals of live.-Youth's Companion.

ABOUT FRIENDSHIP.
1t Is the Finest and Most Sweet of Social
Relations.

1T Is the Finest and Most Sweet of Social
Relations.
The talk of making friends is largely
a misuse of language. Friends are
found, not made. They are discovery,
not a creation. For any friendship that
is worth the name is predestined and
foreordained affair. 1t is not at all
matter of rational choice nor of we'll
considered reason. but rather of mag
netism and temperament. We make
good Twill as a mental atmosphere sur
rounding us and whether we have this
or not depends very largely on our
selves We make pleasant acquaint-
ances and well-wishers by exercising
certain qualities of self-cOntrol. gen
erosity and courtesy; but a friend is
found, not made. No observance of
polite form. or even the deeper infu
ence of noble qualities of mind and
heart can determine this, nor hardly
can the lack Of these change that
friendship which is simply recognition.
IT is unchanging and eternal in its very
essence. 1t can bear every thing of
friction. trial, annoyance or pain, and
vet spring up ag ain with even new
vitality. Such friendship is a gift of
the gods, and il is not commonly found.
People talk lightly and carelessly
enough of their friends, when they do
not know the meaning of the word.
when they are not themselves the stuff
that friends are mads of, and know no
more the strength and devotion and infin
ito sacrifice that the word comprehends
than they do of the emotions of the in
habitants of Mars. To exchange calls
and dinner invitations; to be members
of the same club or the same church;
or TO have views in common regarding
the Wagner operas and Ibsen dramas is
by no means friendship; although many
relations, even more superficial than
these. masquerade under that name.
There are plenty of people, fitted out
with relay of substantial qualities
and pleasing attributes, who fill well
the place of that extensive outer court
of acquaintances. Society requires. for
its cohesion, polite conformity, Guilt
waited taste and powers of selection and
OF friends, in any genu-
inc sense, one can inevitably have but
few. Even one is quite enough TO
make life beautiful and redeem it from
materialism And even one is more
than perhaps the majority of people
possess, although they who least know
the higher possibilities of friendship
would be the first to deny this asser-
ton. That life is rich which holds one
perfect friendship, in which mutual
sympathy is almost mutual clsirvOy-
ance, and in which sacrifice would be
personal luxury. if done for the good Of
one another. Trust and tenderness are
the two factors OF this finest and most
sweet of social relations. Yet it is a
relation, for the most part that defies
analysis. defies explanation, dcfies all
known laws of the chart of polite So
ciety. But its strength is the one great
stimulus of life; it is inspiration. We
can do for our friends that which we
could not do for ourselves; we can rise
with him, or for him. to heigh.s other
wise unknown.-Saturdav Review.

THELATEST SOPORIFIC.
1t Is Called Hypnal and IL n Composition
of Choral and Antipyrin.

1t Is Called Hypnal and II Composition
of Choral and Antipyrin.
new narcotic has recently made its
appearance on the scene. Its compost
tion is the following: Choral and anti.
pyrin, when brought together, give rise
to a third substance, of which the tech
nical name is far too complicated to con
vey any idea whatever to the mind of
person who is not chemist To facili-
tate matters, however, il has been called
hypnal, thereby indicating the soothing
soporific properties with which it is en-
dowed.
Hypnal has the same action as choral
but it has neither its disagreeable taste
nor is it at all caustic.
When it reaches the stomach and is
acted on by the gastric juice it resolves it
self into it's two component parts, chloral
and antipyrin. 1t is, therefore, very
satisfactory way Of giving chloral and o.
avoiding some of the weak points of this
drug.
1t should be furthermore remarked
that hypnal, of which one gram contains
0. As grams of chloral and 0.55 grams o
antipyrin, produces at this dose an effec
that is quite as soothing as II a much
larger dose of chloral alone had beer
given.
This is, perhaps, due to the fact that
the choral is produced in the stomach
itself: it is there at the moment whe
it is formed as a substance-that is t
say. when its power of action is at il
maximum.
The question of the increase of the
therapeutical properties ofdrugs, accord
ing to whether they have just been formed
as substances or not, seems TO me- one fol
which great future is in store, and J
would strongly recommend all who are
anxious to make discoveries to follow
up this subject, which they will Ger
tainly find a most satisfactory one, If

honest endeavor win not die uurecog-
