COULD GIVE ADVICE.
An Illustration of One of the Queer Ways
of the World.

1t was 9. drizzly, dirty, disagreeable
day, when everything was unpleasant
to the sight and touch. On Clark street
man who had attempted to drive his
team attached to a big load of coal into
an alley had stalled his horses, and was
vainly endeavoring to make them start
the load again. But the pavement was
muddy and slippery, and the faithful
beasts, although they earnestly tried
could not quite start the load forward.
A crowd of men had collected and were
watching the animals struggle. Pres
emily, says the Chicago Tribune, man
wearing silk hat, fine clothes and kid
gloves spoke up:
Gentlemen, how many times have
horses helped you out of tight place?
What is there that the noble horse,
mans most faithful friend, would not
do for his master? 1t seems TO me that
it is only common gratitude to remem-
Der past kindness. One good turn de-
serves another Surprising we catch
hold here and give this wagon a boost
and thus help those who have helped
u.s."
The appeal was successful, for in an
instant a dozen willing hands laid hold
Of the muddy wheels and the next mo-
ment the load was on its way to its des-
tination. Then the men who had SO
kindly assisted looked at their hands
covered with mud and then they looked
about to receive word of commenda-
ton from the cohelper who had sug-
gested the work. But he was half way
up the block and his gloves were not a
bit soiled, for he had not lifted a pound.
That is the way of the world. The man
who does the talking ought not to be
expected to do anything else

Mattresses of the White House.

There are now living but four ladies
who have presided over the white house
during former administrations. These
are Mrs. Grant, who is living quiet,
ly in New York; Mrs. Garfield. who
is enjoying in Ohio the income
from the sum subscribed by the
admirers of her husband after his
death eleven years ago; Mrs. Harriet
Lane Johnston, who is quietly closing
a life full of happiness and honor at her
residence in Baltimore, and Mrs. Grover
Cleveland, who enjoys the distinction
of being the youngest mistress of the
white house and being the only bride Of
a president welded there. Small as is
the number of the living wives of our
ex-presidents they are just double the
number of living ex-presidents, who
number but two.

The Growth of Rocks.

Rocks do not grow in the sense that
plant grows. They may increase by
accretion, and they may undergo
chemical change. The old sea bed be-
ing lifted up becomes sandstone and
limestone; the volcanic ash and lava
strewn over the plains becomes tufa,
hard enough for building stone; the
pebbly shore of a river becomes CON
glomerate. The simple mineral does
grow, however, when it takes q crystal
form. The sparkling prism of quartz
increases from an atom to a crystal as
large as forearm by process of adj
dition and assimilation wonderfully
slow, but beautifully regular, exactly
as crystals of ice form on the window
pane.

VANISHED LAKE AGAssIz.
Winnipeg Is Only the Modern Remnant
of a Great Sea-

Winnipeg Is Only the Modern Remnant
of Great Sea-
IL you look at a map of the Dominion
of Canada, says the Youths Companion
you will see near the center of its south
ern border the fertile province of Mani
tobar containing the greater part of
Lake Winnipeg, and embracing a vast
extent of rich prairie land, whose album
dant harvests and bountiful pastures
have won for the province worldwide
fame, Notwithstanding the long, cold
winter that it has to endure.
Geology has an interesting story to
tell of the former condition of Mani
toba, and of the origin of its productive
soil, A great lake, exceeding in extent
the whole chain of what we now call
the great lakes, once existed there, and
to this vanished lake, which no man
ever saw though the evidences of it's
former existence are plentiful enough,
the name of Agassiz has been given.
The present Lake Winnipeg is only
the shrunken and dwindled remnant of
the great body of water whose oozy bed
has now been turned into thousands of
harvest fields.
But perhaps the most interesting
thing about Lake Agassiz is that it
was formed, SO to speak, by a tremen-
dous dam of ice which shut it in on it's
southern side This was near the close
of the so-called glacial period, when the
great sheet of ice that had covered
more than half of North America was
beginning to dissolve and retreat
AS the glacial ice melted away, and
the bed of the lake slowly rose with
the diminished pressure. the waters of
Lake Agassiz were gradually drained
off, leaving only the Winnipeg of to-
day, the basin of the Red river of the
north, and the broad prairies of Mani
toba as tokens of its former existence,
and evidence of its vast extent.

An Uncivilized Tribe That Arc Fast Fall
ing on.
On rocky islands off the coast of ia
pan live queer little hairy people called
the Ainu. They are not Japanese, al
though what beginnings of civilization
| they have mastered are strongly influ-
cnced by Japanese art and manufac-
lures. An English traveller, says
Hacper's Young People, has recently
finished a journey Of one hundred and
forty-six days among these people, who
attacked him, totally destroyed his
sketches and threw his colors and
brushes into the sea when he attempted
to paint them, Like most savages, they
believe that to make portrait brings
bad luck, if not sickness and death, upon
the person who is painted. These peo-
pie wear very little clothing in sum
mer, and in winter dress in bearskins,
with boots made from the skin of the
salmon. The women tattoo mustaches
upon their faces, and both men and
women wear earrings, or, lacking them,
pieces of colored wood or cloth as sub
stitutc. Their language contains few
