A Clean City.

Amsterdam, city OF about 1000
population, though built in a bog,
many of the houses standing on piles
driven 80 feet into the morass, is one Of
the cleanest cities in Europe All waste
and refuse collecting on the streets or
floating in the canals is carried away to q
designated place, sorted over and utilized.
The streets are swept every night, the
street-sweeping machines starting at mid
night. The estimated expense of the
sanitary service Of Amsterdam in 1890
was nearly 100000.

The Zest OF Hunting.

You can never know the zest of hunt
ing or fishing until your dinner depends
on your success; you have never attained
the sublime in cookery until you have
spitted your fish or meat on freshly
peeled stick, rubbed the salt in with your
fingers, and boiled it over a woodland
fire, you watching it jealously lest it get
nblaze, and all the time that meat is
browning you grow hungrier and hun
grier; and every time it sputters In the
glow you catch watts Of fragrance, until
you feel that you have the capacity OF a
dozen starving men, and wonder whether
I single haunch OF venison can supply
your wants.-St. Nicholas.

The Sponge IL Fish with = stomach

The sponge is perhaps one of the most
curious Of fishes, for fish it is, although
several eminent naturalists Of tho past
have maintained that it is not. One
naturalist says that the animalcule Of the
sponge is stomach, without arms, very
simple, very elementary-in short, an
animal all stomach. The innumerable
canals in the sponge are at once its diges-
tive organs and breathing pores. II @
sponge is broken open it will be seen that
the pores are OF two different sizes. IL
the living state the water containing the
particles of food is constantly being alb
sorbed by the small holes and is dis
charged by the larger, the food being re
tained

and Cuitivsse the Noble Virtue Of
Domestic Loyalty.
The low standard of thought upon the
subject Of loyalty is indicated by the
prevalent notion that marriage Is a stern
reality, courtship aud brief honeymoon
but the brilliant preludes to life of
practical business and dull routine Why
should the honeymoon he but 80 DAYS
long? The Fittermonat need not lose
its sparkle, nor the sweetness OF the first
days Of welded bliss be exhausted in so
short n time. There are marriages
which are perpetual honeymoon. where
no amount OF cares and trials can dim
the brightness or tarnish the pure gold
of mutual devotion. But these are only
possible where perfect loyalty exists,
where each sees in the other the expand
ing and pcrfecting of the qualities which
first attracted, and where the Illusion OF
bridal veil still softens and idealizes the
hard angles OF life.
The old Scottish sentiment OF clannish.

Che Expression "Hobson's Choice"

"What was 'Hobson's choicef' Where

Spectator, in its issue No. 500, contained
these words: "Tobias Hobson was the

he was led into stable where there was
O great choice, but Hobson obliged him
: to take the horse which stood next to the

From this arose the saying; "Hobson's

Bad Business.

The following dispatch from Noun
tain Home to the Statesman, under date
of the 22d INST, indicates that an Owy-
bee county man has gone crooked. The
dispatch is as follows:
"Mike Hyde, the we'll known horse
and stock man of 0wyhee county, to-day
appeared before the probate judge and
made oath that in July, 1889, Sam Spen-
cer mortgaged band of horses to B. r.
Grayson, of San Francisco, and in July,
1891, mortgaged another band of horses
to the same party, neither of which
mortgages has been satisfied that on
October 10th last Sam Spencer, With ono
William Cooper, ran about forty horses
belonging to the mortgaged bands out
of Oreana precinct in, Owyhee county,
without the consent of the MORTGAGE,
Grayson, to a point on the Central Pa
cific railway and shipped them 20 Iowa,
where they were sold.
A warrant was then issued out of the
probate court for the arrest of Spencer
an charge of grand larceny. Spencer
was arrested this evening by sheriff
Hill and taken before probate judge
Sinnot who remanded the prisoner for
examination to Justice Presby, of Orea-
ana. The prisoner, is charge of the of
icer and accompanied by his counsel,
w. H. Dial, will start for Oreana to-
morrow morning"

The following, copied from the Lon
don Truth of the 9th ult., is the plain
truth, and demonstrates that the title of
that paper is no misDomer, and that the
publisher has sufficient stamina to
t.uthfully state his views whether they
coalescs with those of other London
journals or not. He says:
"Whether many Europeans will, or
will net, go over to the Worlds Fiar at
Chicago seems a somewhat doubtful
question, for the journey is lengthy
one, and most of those who have money
and leisure rather prefer visiting coun-
try when there is not fair going on.
Apart however, from the Fair,one thing
is certain: America, at the present mo-
ment, is the most prosperous country in
the world, and this Notwithstanding
that we have been telling the Ameri-
cans that the road of Protection is the
road to ruin, / have often said lard |
have seen myself often called over the
Goals for this) that, had | been an
American, l should have been Pro-
tectionist, heing of the opinion tnat
whilst Free Trade may be to the advan-
tage of one country, Protection may be
to the advantages of another. The proof
of the pudding is in the eating, and the
American Protection pudding, it must
be admitted, provides plentiful meal
for the inhabitants of the United States
more plentiful, indeed, than the Free
Trade pudding provides for us.n

A sunien Treasure.

Capt. Symons, who is searching for
the treasure that went down in the
British man-of-war Hussar off Port
Morris in the days of the revolution,
has so far recovered from the depths of
the sound, says the American Register,
according to the log of his dredges, the
Little Giant, the following articles:
Sixty-seven grape shot, seventy-fve
lead bullets, fifty cut. hints, two
guineas bearing date of 1850 and 1863
respectively, half guinea of 1771, fif-
teen brass buttons, several copper
belts, numerous copper tacks and bits
of oak, supposed to be portions of the
Hussar, two composition guards for
guns, a pair of manacles, a pewter
spoon, broken bits of crockery and
broken glassware, several buckles and
four copper pennies.

Into this country, which for the sta
bility of its institutions depends upon
the intelligence of the masses, have
come of late years hordes of foreign ig-
norance and wild anarchism, nurtured
by the despotisms of the Old World to
hate all governments and to respect
nothing but the sword. Such an infu-
sion threatens to poison the blood of ma.
tional life, aud it would be cheaper and
deter to stop the continuance of the
poison than to trust to military surgery
to cut out the ulser.-, Barbarian.

All England rejoices at the defeat of
the Republicans and the return of a
lower rate of duties which will enable
English goods to regain the American
market The London papers predict
good times and fewer strikes among the
English laborers. For every spindle and
loom that England sets going 10 supply
the American mark cts, one in the Unit.
ed States must run less hours, pay less
wages or stop. With both English and
American manufacturers to supply our
goods, the markets will become more
quickly overstocked. Goods will be
cheaper 1T is true, but the laborers in
the factories will have but half work
and half wages. They will not be able
to purchase the products of the farm
and garden as they do now. Shut out
from remunerative employment in the
factories and mills, the employees will
turn by thousands to other vocations In
life, and since many laborers max G
wages low, an era of low wages will
surely follow removal of the tariff du-
ties as proposed by the Democratic
Lewiston Teller.

Grain gambling" is the latest vice to
develop in India, and the police of Bonn
bay and Calcutta are just now vigorous
ly at work prosecuting rain gamblers in
the local courts IN an endeavor to show
that the law includes this form of
gambling. In Calcutta the ''outfit" of
the rain gamblers is in q street in the
Burra bazar Here into small tank,
four feet square and six inches deep, an
ordinary spout discharges rain water
from the roof of three-story building.
In gambling with this apparatus bets
are made at the beginning of the rainy
season as to whether or not the tank
will overflow at a given shower, to the
extent the rain will overflow it when
the water sheets come down in proper
tropical style. 1t is alleged that on
busy days in the bazar several lakhs
of rupees change hands. This is surely
vice made easv 20. tho lazy man.
