The MOnotOnies of Daily Life.

Not long ago prominent merchant
who committed suicide left note stating
that his reason for the act was that he
was tired of doing the same things over
every day. The monotony of life had be-
come uncomfortable to him. 1t hardly
seems a sufficient reason for so desperate
resort as suicide, yet. if the truth were
known, it is probably the one reason for
many of the suicides that occur among
particular sorts of people in middle life,
and this is the period of life when suicides
are most frequent. After men have
reached the hopefulness of youth and be-
fore they have reached the resignation of
age, it is then existence becomes very
dull thing; to dress and undress at the
same hour 365 times year. To sit reg
ularly, at regular hours, at the same
table and consume the same viands; to
go to the same place of business and
handle the same books, make the same
bargains, perform the same duties, do
always the same thing with little varia
ton, with little prospect of variation, till
death supervenes and brings it all to an
end, offers not bright outlook. But it
is the reality of life-to most lives-and
the higher the race rises in civilization
the further the division of labor goes, the
greater becomes the mOnotony. Each
worker learns to do some one thing and
continues to do it and does it over and
over, year after year. But this sort of
feeling is experienced only by persons
who are filled with nervous energy. who
of fl
Or the eXactions of the ordinary duties of
life Such a person would fill the role of
an explorer, wanderer, seeker of adyen-
lures in strange lands, caring little
whittier his progress led, if only it be to
the realization of change, the finding of
something new. To such constitution
and temperament the monotony of pros
perity would be as unbearable as the mo.
notony of narrow fortune and exacting
daily labor. There are places for such
restless spirits if they could always secure
Them, For such there might be in store
something more or less brilliant and
distinguished, although they would be
most likely to realize the meaning of the
proverb about the rolling stone. True,
life is prosy and monotonous enough,
but not too much so for most people.
The urgent demands of practical exist
ence do not leave much time for romance,
but nevertheless there are still hooks and
corners into which the light of fairyland
shines. while few hearts are denied the
delights of love, the consultations
of friendship, and the stimulating in
Huences of duty and devotion to principle.
But all can neither be heroes nor saviors
any more than that all can be monsters
of depravity. Most of us have to be
commonplace persons. Let us be thank
full rather than foolishly dissatisfied with

The Hog Has Imagination.

The pepsin sold in the drug stores is the
veritable product of an animal stomach,
and generally of the stomach of the hog.
One factory in New York has the oldest
method of preparing the article that ever
entered into the human mind. A num-
Der of perfectly healthy hogs are fatted
for market, and for 36 hours before kill
ing time are deprived of all food, not
even being allowed drop of water.
Then the trough from which they are ac-
customed to eat is covered with strong
wire netting and the most appetizing
slops and hog delicacies, smoking hot,
are poured into the rough. The fumes
ascend with grateful fragrance to the
porcine nostrils, the hogs all run to the
trough and stand over it, ravenous with
hunger, squealing and fighting with each
other for a chance to get at the slops.
The iron netting prevents them from
tasting the food, and while they are still
thinking about the matter they are
killed. and their stomachs being taken
out are found perfectly full of gastric
juice, from which the pepsin is prepared.
Now, if it was not the hogs imagination
that made the gastric juice flow into his
stomach in anticipation of feast. what
was it?

The Business an Enterprising Negro
Built Up.

1t is reported that negro employed in
one of the warehouses at Americus, says
the Savannah Netrs, has been in the habit
of supplying dressed squirrels to the
good people of Americus. Nothing was
known about him, and it was supposed
that he was huntsman, but some one
grew suspicious, and investigations fol
lowed
1t was discovered that the fellow had
,een killing the great rats that infest the
warehouse, dressing, and selling them as
squirrels. Indignation does not express
the feelings of the negro's customers
when they learned of the fraud that had
been perpetrated upon them.
