ences or society were absent, and | can
not find an expression better suited 10
the case than ''Pandemonium on
frolic."
AS there were no wives there could be
no homes or families. A few stores had
been hastily put up along the shore,
made of rough boards or canvas, and all
OF them were doing an enormous bust
ness. The rest of the village consisted
of shanties or tents used for restaurants
and saloons. Human life was a moving
panorama. The whole place was alive
with a mass of unkempt men clad in
flannel shirts and heavy boots, who were
inspired with the one desire 10 hurry on
TO the mines.
This rough life was not without its
touches of sentiment. One day the town
was electrified by the rumor that an in
voice of women's bonnets had arrived
and could be seen at one Of the stores.
The excitement was intense, and there
was a rush from every direction to get a
realistic view of even so insignificant a
substitute for female society. do not
overstate the truth in saying that the
thoughts of homo that were awakened
in the breasts of the rude looking men
at the sight Of those bonnets started
tears from eyes which the worst forms
of privation and hardship had failed to
moisten.
The Christian missionary was already
on the ground, and good Parson Will
Jams had lanaged to find place where
he could preach on Sunday. One of the
first men who arrived with his family
came to one of these meetings attended
by his wife and baby. During the ser
mon it CHANGED that thebaby cried, and
the mother was about to withdraw,
when the preacher addressed her thus:
MY good woman, L beg you to re-
main; the innocent sound Of that in
fant's voice is more eloquent than any
words / can command. 1t speaks 10 the
hearts Of men whose wives and children
are far away, looking and praying for a
safe return TO their own loved ones at
home" Never shall | forget the sobs
and tears which those words evoked
throughout that rough assembly. That
infants cry seemed to them the music OF
angels.-John c. Fremont in Century.

Are You Right or Left Handed?

Theories as to the origin and cause of
right handedness may be divided as fol-
lows: According to one class of theories,
it rests on an anatomical basis and de-
ponds on a physical cause which exerts
its influence in every one of Us. Accord
ing to another class, man originally had
no preference for either hand, but be-
came right handed by conventional
usages, which may or may not have had
their origin in some anatomical features.
For any theory of the first class to be
satisfactory it must, first, account for
difference in sensation as well asin force
or dexterity; second, it must account
for the occasional appearance of left
handedness; and, third, it must not be
inconsistent with the fact that most Of
those who have their organs transposed
the heart on the right, the liver on the
left, etc.-are right handed.-Thomas
Dwight, II. D.. in Scribner's.

"LOVE CANNOT FAIL"

"Ieee cannot fail, when Joy grows pale,
And Hopes blithe heart forlorn;
When Sin makes black the shining track
Below the hills of morn;
When Faith is weak, and dare not seek
The Souls abiding place;
When Doubt doth lift from Times dark drift
A wan, bewildered face;
When PAINS keen blade deep wounds has
made
FROM which we vainly shrink;
When Life burns low, with Pickering glow,
Above Deaths somber brink;
When Earth's last Light fades into night,
And all is said and done"-
love cannot fail" and must prevail,
For God and Love are one.

A racket in residence in the south part
of the city, about breakfast time yesterday,
attracted considerable attention among
the neighbors. For a time it was thought
that the police might have to be called IN
to settle domestic troubles, but finally the
storm passed over, and peace and quiet
again prevailed. This is the second time
that such noisy demonstrations have issued
from the same residence, and it is hoped
that things have again been amicably ar
ranged in the household.
