UNCLE SAM WILL BE FIRM,
A Vigorous Policy to Be Pursued in u
 Behring Sea Trouble.

Vigorous Policy to Re Pursued in the
 Behring Sea Trouble.
 WASHINGTON, March 8.-It may be au- thoritatively affirmed that the president does not show the least disposition to deal out to England in the Behring sea troubles any different treatment from that accorded to Chili
 It has been decided to send the white squadron to Behring sea to seize all poach- CTS, and the men-of-war propose to resist any interference.
 The president has determined that no Democratic speaker shall say that he bull dozed Chili, but accepted browbeating from Great Britain without question.
 The presidents opinion is expressed to friends that England is afraid to have any trouble with the United States He has been informed by the naval intelligence of flee that there is no British warship which can elevate its big guns sufficiently to bom- bard New York or other United States ports, and he realizes that England produces only two-fifths of what it consumes, and that it is dependent upon the United States to keep its people from starving

FITzslMMoNs WHIPS MAYER.

NEW ORLEANS, March S.-Once again Bob Fitzsimmons demonstrated his right to a high position in the pugilistic world, and the judgment of those who have characterized him as 'second edition of the Boston lad" has been more than abundantly vindicated. In the Olympic clubs amphitheater, and in presence of one of the largest gatherings that has ever been brought together in this country by meeting of two pugilistic giants, the Australian has demonstrated his prowess, science and skill.
 A greeting that was simply a hurricane greeted the Australian and the Irish lad as they simultaneously entered the ring. Maher was the first to enter, and it was com mented upon that he looked tritle nervous.
 From the first to the sixth round Fitzsim- mons had the Irish champion practically at his mercy.
 The succeeding rounds were little more than child's play. In the twelfth round Fitz, while evidently cautious, seemed to

He got a fierce left handler in the face, fair and square, and which if followed up would have laid him fiat and helpless in the ring. Fitz, how ever, played with him like cat with a mouse, and retreated so that he could get into the center of the ring.
 When time was called Maher walked to his corner tri1e unsteady, but to all ap- pearances good for several more rounds. It was then the surprise of the night came Just as the call was about to be made for the thirteenth round Maher remarked to Billy Madden and Fallen, 1T cannot keep on; jet iJ go at that"
 Fitzsimmons came out of the fight with hardly a scratch on him. Maher admitted that he was outclassed and that he was fairly whipped.

How the Apostles Died.

From history and tradition we learn that
all the apostles except John died unnatural
and cruel deaths, as follows: Peter was
crucified IN Rome. with his head down. on
cross similar to that used in the execution
of Jesus. Andrew was bound to a cross,
and left to die from exhaustion.
James the great was beheaded by order
of HerOd at Jerusalem.
James the less was thrown from high
pinnacle, stoned, and finally killed with
fuller's club.
Phillip was bound and hanged against a
pillar.
Bartholomew was f1ayed to death by
command of a barbarous king.
Matthew was killed with halberd.
Thomas was shot by a shower of arrows
while at prayer, aid afterward run through
the body with lance.
Simon was crucified after the manner of
Jesus.
Mark was dragged through the streets of
Alexandria until he expired.
Luke was hanged on an olive tree in
Greece:
John died natural death.
Paul was beheaded by command of Nero.

Not as Easy as it Seems.

You may not think it much of a task to
be foreman or superintendent of factory
or other manufacturing establishment. says
the American Machinist, but try it and see,
and you will find that it is not the easy job
it may seem to the observer. Imagine
Yourself with from fifty to a hundred men.
or even less. and plan out each days work
so as to have work ready for the men as
fast as the last job is finished. You must
estimate the time it will take this man to
finish the job. so the next man can have it
in time to start on with it as soon as his
present work is completed. You must
judge of the time man should occupy on
job, and also the cost OF material in the
same. must know whether he is making it
right or not. and whether at his present
rate he will get it done in time for ship
ment according to contract. If not. he
must have help on it. When you consider
all these features. the responsibility of
managing the whole place. and. if the judg-
ment proves faulty. of being solely respon-
sible for the loss. it is not an easy task after
all.

tsPuZZlesss as Educators.

Don't laugh or pooh, pooh. They are an
aid to mental development, and l will tell
you how. In the first place. they are usu-
ally regarded as an amusement rather than
as task, but when one is engaged upon
them the mind, encouraged by partial sue
cess. finds all its powers concentrated upon
the work in hand, and what was begun as
amusement ends in giving to the mind a
lesson in continuity of endeavor, such as it
never would have experienced from any
thing imposed upon it as a task. AS a
means of enlarging ones vocabulary they
are better than-a dictionary. Words i'm
pressed upon the. mind through the eye
alone are never at hand when we want to
use them, but every word that person has
heard he can, under favorable conditions,
recall; they are written upon the tablets of
the brain. and are always ready for our
use it memory can awaken them. One of
the best features of the pastlme is that it
cOmpels person to note the nice distinc-
tons existing between words of synonym
Gus meaning. 1t also helps him in arrang-
ing his synonyms, verbs. adverbs and root
words generally. Particularly is this true
of 'charades." curtailments and decapita-
tons. For instance, it is required to ''be.
head clay and leave age" Now both these
words and their synonyms are compared
one with the other until it is found that
mold is the only word that will answer
both. In the case of numerical enigmas.
we may reason from the effect to the cause
or from the cause to the effect; and in the
meanwhile furnish up our memory regard
ing whatever the enigma alludes to-. which
may resemble the following: my whole

celebrated orator and statesman" though
usually there are more than six letters.
Anyway, the names of Webster, Blaine,
Chatham. Cicero and others come to mind,
any one of which it may or may not be. 1t
may be offered as an objection that such

grandfather awkwardly but successfully
prepared her for her couch. and. with an
attendant, sent her to bed. while he settled
himself to study. Presently he heard sobs
from the child's bedroom. and. entering.
asked what was the matter.
"Grandpa, I've forgot my prayer"
"Well, never mind the prayer tonight;
go to bed and 60 to Sleep"
But" persisted the little miss, "mamma
and papa will not let me 20 to bed without
saying my prayers and I've forgot it," and
she sobbed again.

morrow night you may say it twice." re.

Position.

Very few young men before fairly start
ing in life, have any decided prediction
fora special calling. 1t is true the organ
OF hope which so preponderates in the
earlier stages of life, draws extravagant
pictures of what we shall be .'when we are
men, and we run in imagination through
the entire category of professions and posi-
tions but even this ambition changes with
the shifting views that produced it.
1t is perhaps as well that this is so; for
no decision abstractly made. and without
experience to give it force. would bind our
ripper Judgment il not in accordance with
it. Besides it is absolutely impossible to
thus dispose of our future selves. For in
stance, it is one of the peculiar and fascina-
ting doctrines of our republic that the high
est position of emolument and honor are
open to its children. 1t is common when
referring to the humblest scion of the hum
blest stock-''the unwashed democracy"-tO
remark, Here may be future PRESIDENT"
and history is not wanting in examples to
prove the truth of the adage. But consider
ing how few presidents are chosen in each
generation the chances of such preterment
are even less than that of obtaining the
chief prize in lottery scheme by the pur-
chase of a single ticket. Therefore it be-
hooves the great majority to be content with
some position within the reach of their am
btion. If by we'll directed effort we can
secure the starting point which we desire.
as cOngenial to our taste. and in our judg
ment possessing the germ of success. we
should strike out boldly and persistently.
Should failure attend we ought not despair.
but turn our attention to the next most de
sirable object. II we are earnest. success
will come sooner or later. We ought not
despise the day of small things; if we would
be sure of success in any position we must
earn it. The surest way to attain to Ger
tain desirable point is to cultivate those
qualities which are essential to its duties
The universal law of ''supply and demand'
is as memorable in prescribing position. as
in regulating the markets. OBSERVER.
