WAYS TO SUCCESS
Eliphalet Remington, the Boy Who Made
Way for 9imself.

Over Fifty years ago a youth, working
on farm, asked his father to give him
money enough to buy gun. The old man
not spare it, but the boy, nothi daunt-
ed, found al old piece of iron about the
place, aud III the course of time contrived
to make gun barrel out of il, with the
very meagTe facilities afforded by a coun-
try backsmith's shop. H. had not the
materials to make lock and stock, so be
walked to the nearest town and traded for
the necessary attachments. and was en-
Outraged by the smith for having made
SO good shooter; this gave him the am
bitlpn to make another, 50 ne went 10
cutting out grlnostones from the native
rock to raise money for gun materials; ia
a short tine there was a considerable de-
mand for guns Of his make. During the
French war with Prussia he was called
upon 10 furnish guns for the army, and in
lsss than eight months he made and
delivered 10 the government Of France
rifles OF particular pattern, costing five
millions Of dollars, which amount was
duly paid.
The same man furnished rifles for the
United States, South America, Rome.
Spain, Egypt and Japan. he farmers
boy who wanted gun was Eliphalet Rem
ington, Of lion, N. Y. Not satisfied with
his achievement, he has recently completed
a sewing machine. which is reported to
represent the latest and most perfect ad
vance IN the improvement Of this import
ant adjunct of domestic economy, and then
the typewriter. This is the type Of q boy
who, when there is not a way, makes a
way for himself. Many youth would
have set down and routed. thinking over
what hard thing it was that he could not
get gun. with hard thoughts against the
father for being SO .stingy. Not so with
young Remington: he wanted a gun and
was determined to have it; the very neces-

HABITS OF THE APE,
How 1t Travels Among Trees-A MIN ais
That Dare Attack It,

According to the San Francisco Chron-
icle 1t is a most interesting sight to watch
an orang- outang make its way through the
jungle. It walks slowly along the larger
branches in a semi-erect attitude, this be,
ing apparently caused by the length of
its arms and the shortness of its legs.
1t invariably selects those branches
which interningle with those of neigh
boring tree, on approaching which it
s'rei ches out its long arms and, grasping
the bouehs opposite, seems first to shake
them as if to test their strength, and then
deliberately swings itself across 10 the
next branch, which it walks along as be-
fore.
It does not jump or spring as monkeys
usually do, and never appears to hurry it.
self unless some real danger presents. Yet,
IN spite Of It's apparently slow movements,
it gets along far quicker than a person
running through the forest beneath.
Various stories are told about its huge
dimensions and great height, but have
baver seen one over four feet high from
bead to heel and from seven to eight feet,
measuring from finger TO finger across the
outst1etched arms, the width Of the face
varying In measurement from eight to
twelve inches, though the accounts of
larger animals having been met with may
be correct

is no animal IN the jungle that dare attack
the orana-outang except toe python and
the crocG die. Al times, when there is no
fruit obfaiuable in the jungle, it wanders
down 10 tie rivers to search for pain

Then i Is the D. axis relate how the cro-
eodile will sometimes try and seiz, it by

SWlFTER THAN THE EYE.
Animal Motion Sometimes Too Rapid tt
be Seen by Human Eyes.

The rapidity of animal motion is some
times far greater th.en can be detected by
the human eye. 1t is a favoJite amuse-
ment of country boys, when they can find
an owl sitting on a stump in a field, to
walk around the bird at a considerable
distance, and see him twist his head eff :"
AS the observer circles round. the creature
seems to follow him by turning his head
and then gives the impression Of moving
his head continuously round in a circle.
AS 2 matter OF fact, however, as soon as
the owls neck is twisted sufficiently for
comfort, he turns his head suddenly in an
other direction, but so quickly that toe eye
cannot detect the motion. TIE sluggish
toad is sometimes quicker in his motions.
The observer will sometimes notice toad
sitting at a distance of two or three inches
from fly. The.insect vanishes, and some
times the locker on is puzzled to tell how
or WIZ. The toad has simply poked out
his tongue and taken in the fly, but the
action had been so quickly performed that
the eye failed to detect it.-SS. Louis

"a Farmer" in Missi sippi writes the
following letter on silver to New York
paper 1t presents an argument in a
style as plain and clear as it is homely
and forcible, viz =:
Il am farmer and do not know
much about politics. but | do see some
serious flaws in the Bland bill. The aim
OF the friends of silver is to raise the
price of that metal by putting govern
ment credit behind it. Now, my county
does not produce an ounce of silver nor
an ounce Of anything valuable in the
mineral line, II the price of silver is
advanced artifci lily, will it not take
more of our timber, more pigs, more
corn, more calves to get it? Are dollars
TO te made more plentiful? How? /
know or just one way to get dollars, and
that is to find some man who has dollars
and who wants something he does not
have, more than he wants his dolArs,
and who will give me his dollars for
his dollars. 10 other words, / trade my

Nov, if two employers are after one
laborer, as in Montana, wages are high;
if two laborers are after one 'toss,' as in
some large cities f the east, wages are
low, II two pigs are after 81, pigs are
low; if 81 are after one pig, pigs are
high. If dollars, of whatever kind, get
SO abundant that three or four of them
get after one pig, pigs will go very high;
and if dollars reach tie point where
they are made by the million out Of
silver, and copper, and tin, and repre-
sent nothing brt themselves, pigs may
g expected to hesitate before they will
trade themselves off for something as
common as leaves in October, and it will
take a great many more dollars to get
one pig than it would take if the pig
had no question of their value. But
these extra dollars will do the man who
sells the pig no good, because the man
who sells spools Of thread and calico
will want more of them for his goods
This happens, not because the pig and
calico are worth more, but because the
dollars are worth less. / respectfully

will be the passage of law making

FARM AND HOME.
THE FARMER FEEDS ALL.

The king may rule DER land and sea,
The lord may live right royalty,
The soldier ride in pomp and pride,
The sailor roam DER ocean wide;
But this or that, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all
The writer thinks, the poet sings,
The craftsmen fashion wondrous things;
The doctor heals, the lawyer pleads,
The miner follows the precious leads;
Bot this or that, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all
The merchant he may buy and sell,
The teacher do his duty we'll:
But men may toll through busy DAYS.
Or men may STROLL through pleasant WAYS :;
From king to beggar, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feet them all
The farmer 5 trade is one of worth:
hes partner with the SKY ard earth
de's partner with the sun and rain.
Ana 70 NAH loses for his gain;
And men may rise and men may fall,
But the farmer he must feed them all.
God bless the man who sows the wheat,
Who finds US milk and fruit and meat;
May his pulse be heavy, his heart be light,
HIS cattle and corn and all 60 right;
God bless the seeds his hands let fall,
For the farmer he must feed US all.
