The Rush ofNIodern Life.

William Matthews in North Ameridan Review-l
 We pride ourselves on our superiority to our fathers; but while we enjoy more we anxieties and cares. They fatigued only the muscles; We exhaust the finer strength of the nerves; and the result is that loss of stamina, hopefulness, and of zest for the simple pleasures of life which leads to dis gust, life weariness and finally to self-de- struction. To all this may be added the weakmindedness which springs from forced, ,hothouse education begun too early and goaded on to fast; and again from premature responsibility and the engage ment of untrained minds in the tolls of life. Boys and girls of to-day are often men and women in the experience of life and its excitement, and ennuyes or blases at an age when their grandparents were fly ing kites and dressing dolls. The young man, ,scorning the old slow roads to success, and determined to dazzle the world and conquer its honors by coup de main, "consumes in an hour the oil of the lamp which should burn throughout the night, " and ere he reaches the meridian of life, ex- hibits the haggard face, the sunken eye, and the feeble gait which belongs to "wierd eld." Who can wonder that under such circumstances life becomes "wesry, stale, flat and unprofitable." and that the poor worn-out victim of ambition and overwork, who has never his brain or possessed his soul" during this hot pursuit of wealth and fame, should seek to end his days, and with them

When l reached there the door was opened by a sweet young man with banged hair and a soprano voice, who announced, in answer to my first questions, that he was the young lady's brother
 s1 beckoned him out into the hall and told him the story. Instead of falling in a rage and asking, Where is her as the average brother would do, he raised his hands affecredly and said: What My sister shotf With a revolveri Well, think that man was real mean, don't you!

Al PROPER PROTEST,

The talk and resolutions adopted at the meetings of labor organizations are not always such as to win general commenda- ton, but the action taken at a meeting of the United Labor League of Philadelphia will be generally approved. After point ing out that recent events have called pub lie attention to the fact that wretchedness, turmoil and crime are the most apparent results of the present system of imnigra- tion, thereby hindering the development, endangering the peace and safety, increas- ing the burden of taxation for the support of penal and eleemosynary institutions, and degrading all working men who are brought into immediate competition with the labor thus brought into the market. the organization pledges itself to use all legitimate means to call the matter to the attention of congress. It is particularly mentioned that no objection is made to the entrance of any proper person who comes to this country for the purpose of making it his home, or in the pursuit of @ lawful calling.
 This hits the nail on the head The workingmen of this country have a very good right to protest against the importa- ton of such laborers as have been brought here to compete with them. If it is con- tinued strikes, violence and riots will in crease. Congress cannot better employ part of it's time than in trying to do away with promiscuous immigration and its at tendant evils

Different Things Which go 10 Make
 r-A Good Home Gives a Warm
 Welcome.
 From Harper's Bszarl
 If one home is fair and fine, with soft carpets, rugs, pictures, marbles, china, with gentle service, luxurious living, loving children, gracious wife, should all the blessings that these things give, even If one is the apparent source of them himself, has gathered and secured them by close effort and self denial, be kept by one's self alone, like the bone the dog gnsws and buries till he can come back to iti It is not pri- vacy and seclusion that gives a home its sacredness. Far from it. It is its hsppi- ness, its healthiness, its helpfulness, its capacity to do good, to impart that happi- ness and healthiness, its power of lifting all the rest of the world into its own at- mosphere.
 Those homes that are open to the home less are the sacred ones; the homes where there is always pillow for the weary, al- ways spare place at the table for the wanderer; the homes whose beauty is shed abroad like the gracious pew from heaven
  many mansions in heaven. but he who thinks they are mansions from which every other heavenly habitant is excluded has made a mistake in the place; it would not be heaven then.
 However We may dispute and declare that man has right to be undisturbed in his own house, yet we know in our inner consciousness that we all regard the man who brings another home to dinner sure of a cordial greeting for him there; who will not let the stranger find his welcome in an inn on a holiday when homes are dearest; who throws open his house to the parish, whose lights are always shining and invit- ing as you go by his windows, across whose doorstep guests are always coming and go- ing; who loves his home so much and finds it so complete that he must have other people to love it, t,too, and if they have noth- ing half so choice, then share some brief portion of it with them-that man we all know to be good citizen, husband honoring his wife, a Christian in deed what ever he may be in faith, and withal gen. tleman.

POVERTY AND RANK.
They Do Not Mix Well in the Case Of
 French Noblemen.

They Do Not MIX Well in the Case of
 French Noblemen.
 Paris Letter to Philadelphia Telegraph
 In Paris poverty-stricken aristocrat is forced to work or to starve. He drifts out of sight, often sinking to the lowest depths of poverty in the Paris slums. A French journalist once stated in print that dukes and peers and possibly monarchs, retired from business, were to be found at Les Ba- tignolles, if one took the trouble to look for them. But in the provinces the young men of sristocrstic descent lead lives of utter idleness as long as frag- ment of the ancestral acres is left to them
 This existence is considered as appro- priste to their high birth. It is called ''liying nobly," though we practical Yan- kees caanet see anything noble in an eIis- tence made up of hunting, fishing, posch ing perhaps, and with horse-racing and gambling to make things lively. The young gentleman who spends his days in that manner escapes what to him is the deep degradation of working for living He remains parsonage, and says 'thou" to the peasant who calls him ''my lord" but who generally ends by getting possession of the ancestral lands by dint of lending money at e1orbitant rates of interest to his lordship.
 Uneducated, idle, dissipated, brought up in all the obsolete ideas of the ancient regi- me, without the wealth that lent splen- dor and elegance tn his ancestors and their vices, he has but one hope of prospect for the future, and that is the contracting of a wealthy marriage. He hungers as madly after the money and that alliance with the daughter of some wealthy tradesman will bring him as wild beast does after prey.

Sunrise on Mount St. Elias.

llsrael C. Russell m the Apr1l Century,
 In the morning was awakened by the croakiug of a raven on the snow immedi- ately over my head, and found that the soft blue light of my grotto was replaced at the entrance by a pink radiance, telling that the day had dawned bright and clear
 What a glorious sight awaited me! The heavens were without cloud, and the sun shone with dazzling splendor on the white robbed mountains. The broad, unbroken snow plain seemed to burn with light re- The great peaks were draped from base to summit in the purest white, as yet ur- scared by avalanches. On the steep cliffs the snow hung in folds like drapery, tier above tier, while the angular peaks above stood out like crystals against the sky. St. Elias was one vast pyramid of alabaster. The winds were still. Not a sound broke the solitude. Not an object moved. Even the raven had gone, leaving me alone with the mountains.
 As the sun rose higher and higher, and made its warmth felt, the snows were loosened here and there on the steep slopes and broke away, gathering force as they fell, and rushed down in avalAnches that made the mountains tremble and awakened the echoes with roar like thunder. From a small beginning high mp on the slopes the new snow would slip downward, si- lently at first, and escape over precipices hundreds of feet high, looking like a fall of foaming water; then came the roar, in creasing in volume as the flowing snow in volved new fields in its path of destruc- ton, until the great mass became irresisti ble and plowed its way downward through clouds of snow-spray which hung in the air long after the roar of the avalanche had ceased. All day long, until the shad- ows of evening fell the steep slopes, this mountain thunder continued. The echoes of one avalanche scarcely died away before they were awakened by an other roar. To witness such scene un- der the most favorable conditions was worth all the privation and anxiety it cost.

How a Great steeIyards Suit Ended.

lfrom the Lewiston JotrDAl
 Two Penobscot county farmers had bought an old-tashioned pair of steelyArds, each paying part of the cost, and both used them for weighing their produce for market. After a time a dispute arose, and both claimed to own them. The mat ter was carried into court. A trial was held before a jury and the jury disagreed. Then the case. on some technicAlity, was sent to the law court, and was again sent back for trial. The costs up to this point had reached about five hundred dollars, about a hundred times the original cost of the steelyards- When it came up again Judge Peters was the presiding justice. He told the counsel that, if continued, the costs would be increased to such an extent that one or the other of the parties would lose his farm in order to pay, and advised them to enter it neither party" and di- vide the cost as 1t was After @ consulfa- ton the parties said that they were will ling to do that, and it looked as though the case would be settled
 All at once one of the contestants went over to his counsel in the court room and asked: "But who is going to get the steel yardsi I'll be - if he shall have them The other contestant made the same decla- ration. Then the counsel rose and said the case was just where it was before any talk of settlement had been made. They were willing to stop litigation and divide the cost, but "what could be done with the steelyardsT" 'I'Il fix that" said Judge Peters. "Let the sheriff of the county take the steelyards at night and go down and throw them into the middle of the river, letting nobody know the exact spot, so they never can be recovered by any one" The contestants agreed to that pro- position, each paid his proportionate part of the cost and the case was dropped.

sumption of alcohol in France, which was
 larger in 1889 than ever it was before, con-
 tinues to increase, the tax upon alcohol
 last year having produced f11, 101, ,4s3, or
 nearly million more than it did the year previous. This is equivalent to a con- sumption of s7, ,s95, ,OOO gallons of alcohol, and there was an increase of consumption in every department, excepting the Hautes- Pyrenees. The department of the Seine is that in which the consumption is greatest, the tax upon alcohol producing over q 200, 900, while next come the Seine In- ferieure with s76o,O the Nord with s4S0, 900, the Pas de Calais with s360, 900, the Somme with s320, ,0OO, the Aisne and the Seine-et-Oise with e2s0, ,0O0, the Cal Yados, the Finistere, and the Manche with s240, 900, while in fifty-eight other depart ments it produces between s40,000 and s20O, ,OOO. The consumption of spirituous liquors has very much increased in all the large towns.

THE SILVER HUMBUG.


 The silver humbug has been pretty thoroughly exposed by recent events. The Boston Herald gives the record of the speculation, and an interesting one it is. Wednesday the London price dropped to 435 d. per ounce, the lowest quotation that has been made in that market since the passage of the new silver law, under which our government has increased its yearly purchases of the treacherous metal from $24, 900, 900 worth to 54,000,000 fine ounces. On July 14, 1890, the date of the passage of the new law, the price stood at 404 d. in London and $1.0s per fine ounce in New York. From this level, lofty as it was, still further advance was achieved, the Lon don quotation rising on September to 54sd., and the New York quotation touch ing high water mark at $1.21 on Septem- Der 19. At this point the American spec ulators got out of breath, and now. after many desperate, but futile, efforts to check the fall, the London price is down to 43sd., and the New York price has fallen to 964 cents per fine ounce, rate almost exactly equivalent to the English quotation. The present price of silver comes within little of the lowest figure on record. The metal touched bottom at 41sc. in London, a rate only 2tc. below the current quotation. At that minimum fine silver was worth 914 cents in New York. Thus it is now actu- ally within cents of breaking the record for cheapness. If silver were at par that is, if our standard silver dollar were worth it's face intrinsically- silver would bring $1.294 in New York. The precise equivalent is $4.29.29 per ounce. It will be seen that the current price rules B cents per ounce below par. As regards the silver dollar, that coin has now an in- trinsic value of only 74e cents, a depreci- ation of 25s cents from the face value. The speculators in silver who have been caught ''long" have one comfort. It can't go much lower.
