A Clever Little Boy.

1t is hardly decided whether White,
when he becomes q man, will be a min
lister or a horse jockey, for he plays
preacher sometimes all day, then, per-
haps tor a week, plays nothing but
jockey. People say he might be both,
but mamma thinks the jockey is going
to win. He is called White because
his name is Whitney, and one gets
dreadfully tired pronouncing the ''n"
when he is called so many times a day.
When he was sick with the grip lie
drew horses as long as his little fingers
could hold the pencil. and every one
who called on him was expected to try
his or her skill at sketching also.
White has cousin Willie, and they
study one hour every day. Ii mamma
spells..the can ,writei letters. S White
writes: "Please make me a horse" to
every one he knows, and if he does not
get an immediate reply he follows up
the letter with this one: "What keeps
you so long with that horse?" Mamma
spends all her pin money buying
stamps for Whites correspondence.
He has gone to the country now for
the summer, where he rides real live
pony and has two white rabbits with
pink eyes, and two black and white kit
tens that haven't their eyes open.
Tommy says White talks slang.
Whittie's speech is funny, for he has
not yet learned to give the long isound
of a or o, and instead of saying 81 fell
into hole" or "What do you say" he
says 81 fell in howl" and "Whst d.
you SIP"
Whites full name is Whitney Beat
tie, and he is the little son of the Com
missioner Of Street Cleaning.

A FAITHFUL AND TIRELES5
SERVANT.

The patient, tireless, hardy beast of
burden forming the subject of our
illustration has borne an extremely i'm
portant + not always duly credited
portion of the labor Of opening up our
new western country, both on the
great plains and in the mountain
regions. In the illustrated description
Of the building of the Pixies Peak rail-
DAD, in the our issue of Jan
uary "a, it was stated that ''provis-
ions, tools, and camping outfits were
transported by trail to various camps
along the line on the backs of mules
and burros," but, in addition to this
general credit, We now present view,
from photograph, of one of the
animals so employed. Odd as the view
must seem to most of our readers, it is
by no means an uncommon one to those
familiar with life at mining camps in
the mountains and in many other
places distant from the railroad lines.
And, with variations in the character
of the burdens, these same sturdy,
diminutive equines, which would gen.
orally be clsssed as donkeys at the
East, or as bronchos, burros, or In
dian ponies at the West, have borne
q large part of the labor attendant
upon the advancing settlement of the
plains
Our engraving was made from a
photograph sent to US by Mr.. John
Potter, of Colorado Spring, Col

Golden Rules,

The ophthalmic surgeon of an Eng
lish hospital has prepared for the local
school board series of golden pre-
cepts on this important subject which,
legibly printed on a mounted scroll
are to be hung up in all the board
school-rooms. Seven cardinal maxims
are all that are considered needful for
the scholars to bear in mind. These
are; "sit upright: sit square; keep
your eyes at least twelve inches from
your work; write on slope and not
on fat table; read with your book
well up; do not read very small print !;
do not work in bad light; and if
you cannot see your work properly
tell your teacher" AS there Is moth
ing like pictorial example, this is illus
trated by four drawings exhibiting
good and bad positions.

cognizant of my proceedings I was say.
ing: Good morning, Helsie." "Good
evening, Helsie." "My milkpail is the
fullest!" 'What will your father cay
when he hears you have fallen IN love
with Barney Wharton?"
At this latter her eyes would send
out little daughters, and she would re-
ply:
'Say, what can he say? He likes
You, and why shouldn't L? He never
contradicted me yet, and why should
he now?"
And so it ran on. The SHOWS melted
and ran in little rivulets to the brooks.
Spring was herel That we had proved
happy combination, the four of us, no
one could gainsay. Moses and Han
nah were progressing finely. Helsie
and Barney were cheek by jowl. And
If 1t might be intimated it really did
seem as if there would soon be double
wedding at Hartley Four Corners
One day / said:
''Helsie, it's an old story" and my
face became very much heated.
81 know it Barney" she rejoined,
blushing; ''but tell it over again, and
as she nestled her head on my
willing shoulder continued:
"Once upon a time a Mr.. Moses
Dearborn engaged one Barney Whsr-
ton to do manual labors on his great
farm. This was Barney's first engage
mentl"
She laughed, and continued:
"By and by pretty girl came in the
picture. Barney grew to love this new
revelation; and IL was not many moons
before he trumped up courage to say:
'Helsie, will You marry me?"
'What did she say?"
"Yesi"
"And this was your second engage
ment?"
"Yes, Helsie."
"And you will break neither2'-
"Here, Barney, Hannah and are
going to the village this very hour to
be spliced, and if you're wise, young
man, you'll take my daughter Helsie
and come along for the same purpose.
You've been sparkin' long enough.
Gomez
And come we did. I hitched Bess
into the two-sested wagon, and with
Helsie and myself on the front seat,
and Moses and Hannah on the back
one, We drove down to the parsons.
And that divine averred that he had
never seen happier set of brides and
bridegrooms In his ministerial career,
and no one oontradicted him. My
second engagement proved even more
fellcitous than the first,

The best of all is, God is with us.

Our own nesrt, and not other mems
opinions Of us, form our true honor.
The manufacture of the little Swed-
ish matches which are sold everywhere
so cheaply forms one of the great in
dustrIes of Sweden. Some idea of the
extent to which these matches are sent
abroad may be inferred from the fact
that 6, 404 tons were exported during
the first six months OF this year.
JAPANESE women are said to be the
most feminine of all women. They do
not care mite about woman's rights;
they don't long to be men, and they
don't go in for "highsr education. !"
But, poor thingsl they are no more
than the goods and chsttels of the
household to their husbands, who may
divorce them on the smallest pretext.
A Japanese woman must be submissive I;
first to the father, then to her husband,
and when q widow, to her eldest son.
Her lot is not happy one,

A clown who is smart in his profes
sion may achieve quite a reputation,
but minister who Is buffoon loses the
high honor of the sanctuary and fails
to gain even the poor applause of a
circus.
Imitation are always adulterations.
Let everyone be himself lf-but his best
self, not his worst self. There are two
selves in every self. Bring out inc
dominance the angel and subordinate
the animal.

MONTE CARLO, the most notorious
gambling resort in Europe, where
thousands of men and women have
been ruined and many have ended
their lives by suicide: where princes
and plebeians, ladies of the hIgest
rank and adventuresses, meet side by
side Mt the gambling-tables; the sad
dast, widest, wIckedest place in all
Europe-is to have its counterpart in
Lower California. The scheme for the
establishment of an American Monte
Carlo is, strange to say, supported by
several men who have been prominent
in public affairs both here and in
Mexico, including, it is said, President
Diaz, Gen. Butler, Gen. Eli Murray, the
President of leading National Bank
and at least one railroad millionaire. If
1t be the purpose of these men to de-
liberately encourage the gambling pro-
pensity ON scale, of magnitude here
tofore unknown here, all Christian
people will pray that the scheme may
fail. $4,000, 600 are said to be ready
to put into the scheme and all the
necessary grants of land, etc, have
been already arranged wits Mexico.

TESTED RECIPES.
MAYoNNAIsE OF CELERY.

Celery is said to be an excellent
nervlne, and is also good for rheuma-
tism. 1t is excellent cooked and the
green parts are desirable addition to
soup. Only the white crisp stalks
should be used for a salad, and it
should be kept in ice water until ready
pieces, pour the mayonnaise over them
and garnish with the white leaves.

The Irish are said to be the finest
judges of tea in the world. A tea tast-

three hundred in the course of a day.
