A "SURE THING" GAME.

The question is being constantly
asked:
"Why don't stocks go up when
the mines are looking so well?"
The man who asks such a ques-
ton is certainly very verdant.
There is absolutely Nd connec-
ton between the condition of the
mines and the fluctuations Of
stocks. Stocks go up or down, as
the insiders may desire.
1t is as easy t break the market
when the mines are locking well
as when the drifts are in porph-
rey.
The men who manage the
stock market are not in the bust
ness from a sanitary standpoint.
They know that the public will
buy stocks on favorable reports,
and hence they sell at that time.
IL there are no buyers there can
be no sellers.
The managers and manipulate
ors sell when the fools ale keen to
buy. The fools get the stock and
the manipulators the money.
Again, the brokers get never
ceasing percentage on every tran
saction.
It is like running a keno game
The small percentage doesn't look
large, but il twenty-five men play
keno all night, the man who runs
the grme will have nearly every
cent in the crowd by morning.
Stocks give the insiders sure
thing on the money of the fool:
who play at the game.
The men who manage the deals
would nearly all rob their mother
coffin il she were buried with an,
jewelry on her person.
The market ranges up and down
to suit few men who are wallow
ing in wealth, the proceeds of ;
a business very much akin t.
burglary and highway robbery.
It is the surest game for the in
slider ever invented, and curiousl
enough, it is fully protected in thi
country by the laws of Estates, whic
refuse to charter lotteries.

CouIdn't Stand the Odor.

A very amusing story was told about
Chancellor Bismarck by Earl Russell.
The incident occurred at Versailles
during the war Of 1870. Lord Russell
was to have an audience, and he was
waiting for Count Won Arnim to leave
Bismarck study. Presently Won Arnin
came out, tanning himself furiously with
his handkerchief

Then he took leave of Lord Russell
and went his way. As soon as Lord
Russell entered the room Bismarck said
to him:
'What strange tastes some people
have. There is Won Arnlm, now, who
has just gone out of the room; it is fat
of his to scent himself up to an unbear

THE SPEED OF INSECTS.

They Easily Keep Pace with Swiftly
Moving Train.
There are many insects which one
would little suspect to be furnished
with apparatus suited to swift and
more or less continuous flight. House
flies frequent the inside of our windows,
buzzing sluggishly in and out of the
room. But what different creatures are
they when they accompany your horse
on a hot summers day. A swarm of
these little pests keeps pertinaciously
ON wing about the horses ears; quicken
the pace up to ten or twelve miles an
hour, still they are there; let gust of
wind arise, and carry them backward
and behind-the breeze having dropped,
their speed is redoubled, and they re-
turn to their post of annoyance to the
poor horse even when urged to its
fastest pace.
But this example gives only partial
proof of the fy's power of fight, as the
following will show: The writer was
travelling one day in autumn by rail al
about twenty-five miles an hour, when
a company of flies put in an appearance
at the car window. They never set
tied, but easily kept pace with the
train; SO much so, indeed, that theil
fight seemed to be almost mechanical
and thought struck the writer that
they had probably been drawn into Z
kind of vortex, whereby they were car
/ ried onward with but little exertion or
the part of themselves. But this no
tion was soon disproved. They sailed
forth at right angles from the train
few to distance of thirty or forty feet
| still keeping pace, and then returned
with increased speed and buoyancy t.
| the window
To account for this, look at the wing!
of fly. Each is composed of an up
per and lower membrane, between
which the blood-vessels and respiratorl
organs ramify SO as to form delicat,
network for the extended wings. These
are used with great quiclness, ant
probably six hundred strokes are mad'
per second. This would carry the fl
about twenty-five feet, but a seven-folt
velocity can easily be attained, making
one hundred and seventy-fve feet pc
/ second, so that under certain circum
stances it can outstrip race-horse. 1
a small insect like a fly can outstrip
race-horse, an insect as large as hors

AMERICAN TITLE HUNTING.
The Insane Desire for Genealogical Splurgs
and Splendor.

The Insane Desire for Genealogical Splurge
and Splendor.
Our professional genealogists have
found out that it is far easier to estab-
lish connection with some foreign
family of repute and to appropriate
their honors and insignia than to manu-
facture outright. Thus our Muggins
has been successfully spliced on to the
English family of De Mogyn, our Tay-
lors to the Tayleures, our Seamers to
Seymours and st. Maurs, and our Null
Inns to DeMoulins. In general these
transformations and affiliations have
been effected without exciting COM
ment or criticism, but not always. An
American family bearing name famous
in English history and exalted in one
branch by dueal title, concluded that
similarity of surname gave them an
equal right to the heraldic belongings
of the family, and assumed the escutch-
con, supporters and all. If their pride
had been satisfied with the display of
the insignia on their carriage panels no
one would have objected, but when it
tempted them to assert publicly their
right to the ducal title, which was then
in allegiance, it aroused the curiosity Of
some prowling genealogists - those
pests of society = who set about in
quiries which, they asserted, proved
that the American family was only oi
yeoman origin and of no possible con
noction with the ducal house. Thus die
their vaulting ambition overleap itself
and to avoid ridicule they were Obliged
to suppress magnificent table-servict
of china and silver, on which they had dis
! played, at considerable expense, the

could not tell him what she thought.
She was glad he had come; she wanted
to go home with him; she loved him
now. But did he love her? If he would
only be little more gentle, more lover

his manner was clear-cut and decided;
buff she only would have looked at
him.

he repeated. II want you to come
home
Then slowly she lifted her eyes to
his W1s this the way he used to look
at Berry? Not quite; no one should
ever see that look again in the doctors
eyes. But Della did not know that,
and it seemed very good to her to be
looked at in this way.
Il will go whenever you like, she
answered at last.
Then the doctor did say something
gentle and lover-like.
They were married already. Let us
hope they were happy ever afterward.

rake Care of the Brain.

The brain stands most abuse of any
organ in the body. Its best tonic and
stimulation is success. The worst and
most depressing thing to it is failure.
The most injurious effects come by
using stimulants in early life. Young
people should never use liquor, tea or
coffee. The latter two may not exactly
do harm, but they are conducive of no
good. They act mostly on the brain
and injure its growth very materially.

hours is not more than enough. SleeE

A Laborer Who Preferred the Cesspool to
TubIic Office.


TubIic Office.
There is reason to believe, writes DIR.
Buckley, that, except in the supernat-
ural elements, the story Of Arabian
Nights Entertainment" has been paral-
lelled over and over again in the history
of Constantinople One of the Sultans
not so very long ago was in the habit of
going about like the famous Caliph
Haroun-al-Raschid in disguise, On one
occasion, passing a place where a man
was eXcavating a cesspool, he heard
him say to himself in a loud voice:
''Persevere, my soul, or / will plunge
thee into deeper filth than this"
A ew hours afterward an officer ap-
preached the unfortunate man, and said
to him, ''Come with me-" Horror took
possession of the laborer. who, when
found by the officer, was dressed like a
gentleman, and was taking his ease in
a cafe. He tried to ascertain from the
person who had him in charge why he
was wanted; for some went into the Sc
cret place under the control of the gov
ernment and never came out, b no
satisfactory answer could be given.
After being detained for long time in
fearful suspense, he was at last brought
into the presence of very high official,
and detained there. Finally he was
taken into the very presence of the Sui
tan. The Sultan was astonished to see
the man, who had been covered with
filth short time before, so well dressed
and intelligent in appearance. He said
to him: Are you the man whom l saw
at work in a cesspool?'
II am"
.'How is it that find you dressed in
this way?"
II am well paid for my work, which
is very filthy and disagreeable, and af-
terward | cleanse myself and take mine
ease"
'.But what did you mean when you
said: Persevere, my soul, or l will
plunge thee into deeper filth than this!''
The man trembled, knowing that at a
word his head might be smitten from his
shoulders. Speak! said the Sultan. He
answered that man often says in anger
what his heart will not acknowledge.
But what dost thou mean?"
| He hesitated, and the Sultan reiterated
his command: What dost thou mean?
What deeper filth is there than that in
which thou dost work?'
He still hesitated. The Sultan assured
him that no harm should come to him
and the man then replied:
MY work was disagreeable, and
was almost tempted to leave it when
thought, i am still free, am obliged
to fatter no one; if give up this worl
I may be compelled to take servict
under the government, to live by fiat
terry and falsehood,' and so l said to my
soul: 'Persevere, or l will plunge the
into deeper filth than this. >"
The Sultan, according to the story
was so pleased with this answer that h
gave him handsome present and al
lowed him to go away ummolested.-

He made himself very comfortable.
But what the doctor really liked was
to be hindered. He enjoyed watching
the mild shadow of disapproval stealing
over Delia's face. If she had frankly
and briszly expressed her opinion, then
taken it back prettily, he might have

Some Facts About the Early Life of a
State Now Moribund

Some Facts About the Early Life of
State Now Moribund.
In several places in Lincoln County,
New, and the adjoining country about
Death valley, California, are found
traces of former occupation by some
race of civilized people, probably the
Spanish. In the Kingston range of
mountains, on the eastern face of Clarke
mountain, near its summit, is perpen-
dicular cliff of limestone two hundred
and fifty feet in height and with q
smooth surface. On the face of this
cliff, at height of one hundred feet
from its base, are engraved the follow
ing characters: 81 L D." The cross
and letters are of mammoth proportions,
being not less than sixty feet in height.
They are cut into the solid rock to a
depth of two feet and are plainly to be
seen at a great distance by persons
passing through the valley below toward
which the cliff and mountain face.
No one in the country knows how,
when or by whom the letters were cut,
according to the San Francisco Chron-
icle The Indians living in the vicinity

scription. As the inscription is il Ro-
man letters and is preceded by a cross
it is supposed that the work was done
by Jesuit missionaries, who are known
to have established missions farther
south in Arizona. In 1888 mission
was established at the mouth of ella
river by the Jesuit father, Eusebius
Kino, and there were at one time, ac-
cording to an ancient map, no fewer
than forty towns and settlements in
New Mexico about the headwaters of
the Gila. As the ella is a tributary of
the Colorado it is probable that some of
the followers of Father Kino pushed
their way up to the latter stream and
established one or more missions.
