engaged In his favorite occupation Of stock
raising and talking about past events in Wall
street with the old friends who visit him from
time to time. Mr.. Smith came from Buffalo
originally, and first attracted attention by the
poldness OF his operations during the early
years OF the war. The panic Of 1854 furnished
him an opportunity which he made the most Of,
and from that time until 1873 he operated
with remarkable boldness and success
and succeeded in amassing a very large
fortune. In that year he almost ruined
himself by going into Western Union on the
advice OF Commodore Vanderbilt; but he was a
comparatively young man then, and he soon
got on his feet, and within half a dozen years
had regained the financial position which he
came 80 near losing. But early in the eighties
he went into Lake Shore pool, for which
young Willie K. Vanderbilt got from his father
oo,oOo shares OF stock at a very favorable price,
but somehow the stock failed to rise, and then
the Marine Bank failure knocked all the bull
pools to pieces, and Smith was involved in the
general ruin. Young Vanderbilt lost on this
occasion about $4,000, 900, which his father
paid, and threatened to deduct from his
anticipated share of the Vanderbilt estate.
Smith, although in a bad way financially,
formed combination with Baron Woerishoffer
to bear the market, and would have been sue
cessful In this operation if he had not stayed
on that side Of the fence too long. The con-
sequence was that In 1889 he found himself q
ruined man, and has since then been entirely
out Of the market.

HIS STRUGGLE WITH OPIUM.
The Man Won, but Only After Battle That
Severely Tried Him.


Severely Tried Him.
From the London Spectator.
One day realized, writes former victim of
the opium habit, that my word was no longer a
symbol of truth, and the moral nature that l
had not quite drowned leaped up In the dark
and called me ''liar'' to my face. Then l
awoke and for the first time for many a day /
prayed. Then also came the resolve, the de-
termined resolve, come what may, to be done
with this damnable tyranny. At 6 o'clock that
evening took q hearty meal Of meat (princi-
pally) and little very little) red wine. 1t was

but walk till won my battle if 1 lived through

I might not pawn il for opium; took no
money with me; even as / left home
and struck across the downs l felt the
craving coming on (the hour for nv pen
ultimate day dose was at hand), and knew nv
temptation was with me, and realized how long
and bitter the struggle was to be. The craving
seemed to me palpable shape that.waiked be-
side me, presence that outran me and lost
me, and came back to me like faithful dog that
would not lose or leave me, that could not
leave or lose. Sometimes l sang, sometimes
raved and swore, sometimes prayed and wept,
but never once, thank God, did my resolution
falter.
Much Of that night cannot remember. Dim
things come back to me at times, such as a fall

A Small Telegraph System.
From the Engineering Magazine.


A rural farming district in Michigan has pro-
vided itself with q telegraph line eight miles in
length, connecting large number of scattered
farms with the village store, the proprietor Of
which oficiates as telegraph operator, express
agent, postmaster and go on. The total cash
expenditure for the outfit is said to have been
only some s200. while the expense of main
tenance, which is but trihing sum. is assessed
equally upon the owners. The small cost and
enormous convenience Of such a eystem as this
in country districts ought to lead to a more
general adoption of the plan. Especially after
the expiration of telephone patentsin 1894 such
Q system Of INSTRUMENTATION by wire would
be possible in every township throughout the
country. The individual expense would be al
most Insignificant, and in the item Of useless
travel alone would save many times its cost
every year.

THE AGE OF THE EARTH.
Geology Shows It's Age Varies From ,3 600
900 to CSC, 900 900 Years,

600 to Csc, 900 900 Years.
Biologists have ascertained that the rate at
which erosion takes place can be measured.
By applying their scale to the sedimentary
rocks they have formed an hypothesis as
to the time which has elapsed since erosion
began.
The stratified rocks attain an average thick
ness of l00, 900 feet The material of which thew
consist was all washed down from high planes
deposited and left to stratify. BY the inspec-
ton OF river banks it is found that in places the
surface Of the land which has been carried
down as sediment in rivers has been reduced at
the rate of a foot in $50 years, while in other
places, where the land was more stubborn or
less flexible, it had taken {. 800 years to lower
the surface one foot. The deposit must be
equal to the denudaton.
We find that while some Of the sedimentary
rocks have grown foot in $50 wears others
have taken $500 years to rise that height Thus
the period Of time that was required to build
up 100. 600 feet Of sedimentary rock has varied
according to locality from 5000. 900 wears to
Csc, DOC, 0oO years. 1t follows that the active
work of creation lasted for a cycle intermediate
between these two figures. The cycle varied
with endless succession Of periods of disturb
ance by volcanic force and glacial action and
the frequent submersion Of dry land, alternat-
ing with the emerging Of continents out of the
X
sedimentary rocks, but they cannot have ao-
CELEBRATED it.
A study Of fossils teaches the steady uni
formity with which the work of creation pro-
ceeded. Since man began TO observe there has
been no change in the forms of animal and
vegetable life. few species have disappeared
NOT one new specie has been evolved. Not
only do we find the fauna and fora Of ancient
Egypt as depicted on monuments which are
probably 5000 or 10000 years old identical
with those which are found in that country to-
day, but shells which inhabited our seas before
the ice age and grew in an ocean whose bed
overlap the Rocky mountains are precisely the
same species that are found in the Bay Of Mon
terey and the waters Of the Chesapeake. 1t is
evident that there has been no essential change
In the conditions Of life since these animals
and these vegetables were first created, vet
how vast the shortest period which We can
assign to the gap that divides us from that re-
mote epoch!

FUNNY CHILD TALK.
Odd Remarks From a e-Year-Old About
Things OF This Life.

Odd Remarks From a Five-Year-Old Abou
Things OF This Life.
THERE is A LITTLE GIRL ON !
l. street, five years Of age, who is very
naughty once in a while. The other day sh,
got angry at the cook and slapped her. He
mother told her that she must apologize, bu
she refused point blank.
Il won't do it," she declared stamping he
foot.
Very well, Tiny" replied mamma. mildly
but, if you do not, will not buy for you tn,
new dolly that you want"
This was too much for the child, who had SCI
her heart on the doll So she went dow
stairs to the kitchen and said to the cook:
Rosa, hit you this morning, didn't I?'
.'Yes, you did, Miss Tiny answered Rosa
assuming an aggrieved expression.
The little girl looked at her fox a moment ant
then added
do you think you will dep
Il don't know" replied Rosa.
Well. said Tiny, IF you die don't tell Goo
1 did it."
On another day Tiny was taken to visit
lady. The latter mentioned the name of some
body she knew, whereupon the child said
Il didn't know that YOU knew her. Why. sht
is one of my mothers"
Goodness mel exclaimed the lady. pray
how many mothers have you got?''
Three, responded Tiny, promptly
mamma, my grandmother and my godmoth
Haven't you got many"
Nobody had suggested such a notion to her
but 1t came out of her own wise little head Or
the occasion Of the same visit she sat gains
thoughtfully for long time at bowl which
contained single goldfish. Finally she looked
up and said:
Il should think that fish would get awfully
tired swimming around ali the time. L should
think it would 90 up and lie down to sieeD or
that green stuff at the top of the water"
This same little girl entertains some very
queer metaphysical Ideas. Her mother found
out recently that the child had formed the
queerest conceivable notion out Of her owr
imagination respecting the world by which sine
was surrounded. She thought that perhaps
nothing was real or had actual existence except
in her own immediate vicinity.
For example, her notion was that while she
was going along in a street car the blocks OF
houses coming successfully into view sprane
spontaneously into existence, presumably van.
ishing again into nothingness az soon as she
had passed out OF sight of them; in short, be-
cause it was necessary that she should have III
environment of physical nature. things about
her were brought into being wherever she went
for her special and exclusive benefit. As fol
the people whom she saw around her they
might or might not be real. At all events il
Was unquestionable that they were accustomed
to eat certain vegetables at the table only fol
the purpose Of persuading her to do Likewise
inasmuch rs it was impossible that they could
like them.
