Ciphers Easy to Read.

Communications in cipher are not SO
secret as many persons suppose. Moth
ing has amazed the London Times people
more than the discovery of the secret
cipher with which they communicated
with George Kirby in America when Mr..
Kirby was engaged in negotiating with
Sheridan. 1t was an alphabetical cipher,
and was so very cleverly constructed that
1t seemed to defy detection. But Labou-
chere once declared that he would uf-
ravel any cipher that was put before him,
and Archbishop Walsh is quite as clever
at this kind of thing, it would seem, as
Mr.. Labouchere. Ciphers, in fact, are
not very difficult to detect. On one Lon
don paper, for example, every advertise
ment which goes in in cipher is read be-
fore it appears, and the work is not, as
rule, found to be very difficult. There
is sometimes great amusement in the un-
raveling of these presumably secret
methods of communication York

Catching Rattlesnakes for Oil.

There are places in South Georgia
where men extract oil from the rattle
snake and use it to cure rheumatism.
These persons will give colored man 81
to point out a Yattlesnake to them, and
then they kill it in peculiar manner.
They place forked stick over the snake s
head, then put a cord around it and
strangle the snake. This is done to keep
the snake from biting itself. The body
of the reptile is then strung up and the
oil extracted from it. 1t sells at 50 per
ounce, and this industry is a very profit
able one. The snakes in that section are
very large, averaging five feet in length,
and one rattler gives up great deal of
oil. A little negro boy once saw two
rattlers lying close together, and wanted
to get the money for finding them. 1t
was mile to the nearest house. He was
afraid the snakes would crawl off while
he was gone, and so took off his coat and
placed it between the two snakes. He
went off, came back, and found them
still eyeing the coat. He had them
charmed. So the snake is cultivated
down there as profitable industry

The Chicago Post is firmly of the
opinion that "there is good deal of the
natural savage still remaining in the civ
ilized man because word comes from
Liberia of white missionary who con-
cluded that he would rather initiate the
savages he had been sent to convert than
to Christianize them. He has accord
ingly abandoned the ways of civilized
life, and is living with the natives in
their wild state. His fellow missionaries
are profoundly astonished, but civiliza-
tion has many irksome restraints, and a
savage life may have many substantial
advantages" !"

Just now no two countries in Europe
of any pretensions are in perfect harmony,
declares the Washington Star. The
relations between England and France,
between Germany and Russia, between
Russia and Austria, between Italy and
Austria, between Russia and Turkey, be-
tween Spain and England are more or
less complicated international jealousy
is founded on national selfishness. just
at present the great Black Continent is
the bone over which many of the nations
are growing. France, sore over tho
continued occupation of Egypt and dis
posed to make the most of her rights in
the Newfoundland dispute, revives her
old pretensions in Zanzibar and finds
support in Danish sympathy with Danish
Heligoland, in Belgic apprehension Of
German aggression on the Congo State
and in Spanish uneasiness as to British
interference with Spain's programme il
Morocco.

Again has young woman carried off
the honors in an intellectual competition.
The Boston Herald recently offered two
scholarships of $500 and S4OO to be paid
in four annual installments to the gradu-
ates of 1890 who should write the best
composition on one of a number of sub
jects. The winners are as follows
First prize to Miss Silvia Clark, of Pink
erton Academy, Derry, N. H., for her
composition on Hawthornes ''House of
Seven Cables" second prize to Albert
E. Thomas, of Brockton, Mass, who
took for his topic Coleridge's poem,

The reports of the crops in England
indicate that that country will require all
the breadstuifs the United States can
send this year. British crops, the
american Cultioator declares, are largely
injured by conti2ued wet weather and
cold, blighting winds. The unusual
moisture has flowed fields, rotted hay
and mildewed wheat. Nothing is ripen-
ing under the deluge of rain. Every
year seems to make English farmers more
Respondent than ever, with less pros
pect of profits. In fact, the absence of
summer is an injury to all trades as well
as agriculture.

The art of flying is not making any
encouraging advancement, is the verdict
of the Chicago Herald. Somebody in
vents flying machine now and then,
but it always proves to be failure.
Perhaps the nearest approach to success
has been attained by German in Phila-
delphia, the home of Keely, the motor
man. He weighs 100 pounds and can
raise himself into the air with the aid Of
a counter weight of eighty pounds. Yet
this is to say that only fifty per cent. of
him is able to fly, and that is only half
enough for successful flying If this is
the best that can be done the birds of
the air are never likely to have any
human imitators.

DIVIDED.

II thou vert by my side. dear love,
And could walk with thee,
The path unto the mountain crest,
No toll would seem to me,
But now my feet walk wearily,
And heavy are mine eyes,
And dread and dark the winding way,
That leadeth to the skies
Yet If thou vert beside me, love,
My hand within thine own,
Perchance my weight would hold thee back,
Tho thou canst win alone
Thou mightest stumble, following me;
Or, lettering by the way,
Seeking the sweets and flowers, my feet
Might tempt thine own to stray
But now by different paths, my love,
We seek the self-same goal,
So far apart no check am |,
No hindrance to thy soul,
And tho my heart doth ache for thee
My lips for thy lips long,
see thee toiling upward still,
And hush my pain with song. :
And when upon the mountain crest,
We stand where souls are free,
The bliss that doth elude us now,
Must come to thee and me-
Not one brief thrill of joy, of pain
One smile, in tears to end,
But an eternal crown of love
When soul with soul shall blend
