Why He Succeeded.

Those who write inspiring and instruc-
tive books for young people will find
new theme in the life of B. T. Rabbit,
the soap manufacturer. To grown peo-
pie he will be immortalized as the man
who first made decent soap, at a mod
crate cost, in America For this alone
he is to be classed among the benefactOrs
of his country. He it was, too, who be-
gan the invention Of that agricultural
machinery which has made America
famous the world over.
No college bred lad was B. T. Babbitt.
A farm boy with only the rudiments Of
education, he learned the blacksmith
trade as soon Us he was man grown. Here
he first found he had inventive genius,
and here he learned that practical work
ing of iron and machinery which was
afterwards of incalculable value to him.
Everything that came to him, no mat
ter how insignificant, was an opportrs
nifty of which he made good use. This
was one secret of his success
Another was that he never gave up.
Disappointment after disappointment
struck him, like blows in the face. They
staggered him, but could not down him,
because he was a man who could not be
downed. That will be good point to
emphasize with the boys and girls.
He had fair start in 184S, when he
was 30 years old. Then, through the
dishonesty of a man he trusted, he lost
every dollar he had. Nothing daunted,
he began again, trying harder than ever.
So many difficulties beset him that not
till he was 30 years old did he really be-
gin to gather the fortune of $4,000, OV
of which he died possessed. Another
strong point in his character was his
kindly, trusting nature. This trait he
never lost, though deceived over and
again and subjected to heavy losses
from those he had trusted. In spite
of the losses he continued to trust his
fellow men, and with it all he was not
prevented from laying up 5000, 000
Another fact to note was his strong,
erect, healthy body. He got it from the
active, outdoor life Of his boyhood
This rugged health and strength stayed
with him almost till the very last, and
he was 80 years old when he died.

Cremation l. Paris,

The cremation furnaces in Pere la
Chaise cemetery at Paris are now in
complete working order; and the munich
pal council of the city has, after due de-
liberation, reached a decision as to the
scale of charges for the incarceration Of
the dead in cases where this system may
be preferred to burial Fifty francs is
the tariff, and as the payment of this
small sum gives, in addition to the use
of the furnace, the right of occupying a
shelf in the "columbarium" for FIVE
years, the charge is not in any way ex-
cessive. Of course, the urn required to
contain the ashes of cremated person
constitutes an extra, as likewise the
pomp to be displayed in cremation, for
which latter item the sum of from
twelve francs to 200 francs may be
asked. For the simple burning process.
however, andfor five years right to a
shelf in the 'columbarium" the price of
a couple of pounds is really Iow.-Lon-

A Live Hattlesnake in a Denot.

A colored waiter in the new Central
Railroad depot restaurant in Jersey City
saw a rattlesnake crawling along the
floor near a party of ladies. lie yelled
"Snakes!" and the ladies ran out into the
car shed screaming. The waiter had an
armful of dishes. AS the snake was
heading for him he dropped the dishes
and ran. Two men who had been eating
at the lunch counter followed him. One
of the ladies who had run out told John
Van Pelt, conductor, about the snake.
Van Pelt got stick and friend of his
got another, and they went into the res
taurant. Half a dozen walters, a cook
and three passengers were sitting on the
lunch counter. They were freed. The
snake was crawling toward the door,
shaking its rattle savagely. Van Pelt
and his friend made a combined attack
Van Pelt's stick was pointed, and he
speared the snake through the neck, pin
ming it to the floor. The other man beat
the reptile to death. Then the walters
and cook and passengers came down
from the counter. The snake was about
two feet long. 1t had four rattles. How
it got into the depot is mystery. Pos
sibly it had been shipped as freight, and
had in some nay escaped from contine-
ment.-New York Sun.

Central America and know what a

took my breath away. From the top to
the bottom it is full 5000 feet. Over
mile below you can see the river tearing
through the gorge, but not sound can
be heard, it is so far away. From one
bank to the other it is apparently not
over quarter of mile, but as matter
of fact it is fully nineteen miles. My
guide told me would never be able to
reach the bottom, but / was determined
to go and / went. It was a terrible
climb and it took us eight hours to reach
the bottom. 1t is certainly the most
desolate place in the world. There is no
living thing down there-ne insects, rep
tiles nor animals of any kind. Every
thing is absolutely dead. The mining
prospect was worthless. Before the sun

our way out, and it took US until 10
o'clock that night to climb the wall OF

Health in Tenemeuts.

It has always been accepted that in
cities the death rate in tenement houses
is greater than the general death rate.
This belief has recently been contro-
verified, as far as New York city is con-
cerned, by careful analysis of the re-
turns made to the health department.
It was found that last year the general
death rate per 1000 inhabitants was
1888, while che death rate among tene-
ment dwellers was 22.71. Beyond this
it was found that the death rate in large
tenement houses is less than in the
smaller ones. The chief reason for this
difference of mortality to the advantage
of tenement houses is attributed to, the
exercise of the plenary power of the
board of health in regard to them in
both construction and appointments
during recent years, while the construc-
ton and appointments of the hitherto
supposed to be the most ..A.lthful class
of houses have been left to the intelli-
gence of the architects and tenants, ex-
cepting general compliance only with
the plumbing laws.-Boston Herald.
