A sincre attachment to truth, moral
and scientific, is habit which cures a
thousand little infrmities of mind and
is as honorable to man who possesses
it, in point of character, as it is profit
able in point of improvement. There is
nothing more beautiful in science than
to hear any man candidly owning to
his ignorance. 1t is SO little the habit
of men who cultivate knowledge to do
so-they so often have recourse to SUBJ
terfuge, nonsense or hypothesis, rather
than to plain, manly declaration
either that they themselves do not
understand the subject or that the sub
ject is not understood-thati it is really
quite refreshing to witness such in
stances of philosophical candor. and it
creates an immediate prepossession in
favor of the person in whom it is OBJ
served. Chicago Mail

A GOOD ELEPHANT STORY
How an Intelligent Pachyderm Utilized
Python.

How an Intelligent Pachyderm Utilized
Python.
They were swapping truthful tales
at a hotel one evening, and by unani-
nous consent man named Stowe, of
Girard, Pa. was awarded the sugar
coated bun.
1--WE read good deal,' said Mr..
Stowe, ''about the intelligence of ele-
plants, but there is an elephant out in
Geneva o., which is wintering with a
circus there, that is the smartest and
most intelligent elephant on earth.
"Once IN while a cyclone sweeps
over the Buckeye state and levels build
ings to the ground. This elephant,
whose name is Snoozer, knows as much
about meteorological conditions as the
entire force of the Weather Bureau
combined. Not long ago, as Snoozer
cast his weather eye out of the window
of the building in which the menagerie
was confined, he discerned a marked
change in the barometric condition of
the atmosphere. He also saw cyclone
in the southeast headed dead on the
menagerie building. Slipping his chain
and grasping an axe in his trunk he
went out to the windward of the build
ing and drove guy stake deep in the
ground.
The cyclone then was but mile of,
and was rapidly nearing the building.
Rushing inside Snoozer unfastened the
cage containing the giant python, and
selling the big snake in his trunk trot-
ted outside and tied his tail to the guy
stake. Then rearing himself on his
hind legs, he fastened the python's
head around the center chimney of the
building. The cyclone was now but a
quarter of mile away.
"Dashing arou nd to the leeward of
the building, the intelligent pachydcrm
braced his powerful legs in the ground
and put his hands against the side of
the building. The cyclone was now
but hundred yards off. The next in
slant it struck the menagerie with ter
rife force. The force of the cyclone
was so great that it stretched the py-
thon ten feet and showed Snoozer's legs
down into the hard ground up to his
body.
when the cyclone passed over,
Snoozer trotted around, united the
python, replaced it in its cage, pulled
up the guy stake with its trunk, re-
turned the ak to its place, slipped the
chain over his ferefoot and contentedly
resumed his MONDAY meal of hay

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
THE ONE THAT COUNTS.

Beware of the first drink of liquor, my Lad,
AS that will lead on to the rest;
Turn away ere beginning habit so bad,
For that way is surest and best
Don't fancy you're strong and can stop as the
first,
That one to a hundred amounts.
Refuse cen a sip OF this glass so accursed;
IT'S always the first drink that counts
Beware OF the very first smoke, my boy;
The cigar or the cigarette vile
viii multiply tenfold your health to destroy,
Your flesh and your blood to deile.
Then reject ut the start this poisonous weed;
Remember your libertys lost
II once you allow this foe to succeed
And here, too, the first step will cost.

A London Physician's suggestions As to
Proper Food and Exercise.
A London physician, widely known
by his dietetic cure for corpulency and
other diseases of malnutrition, pre-
scribes the following diet for the sed-
entary when suffering from indiges-
ton. At O'Clock. begin the day with
a tumbler full of milk and soda water,
a cup of beef tea or of bovril At 1880
a tepid or cold sponge bath, and the
skin rubbed thoroughly with a coarse
towel or before the bath with mas
sage rubber, and a breakfast at $50 of
a cup or two of weak tea without
sugar and a small quantity of dry toast
or stale bread, a broiled sole or whit
ing, the lean meat of a rare chop, or a
fresh egg, soft boiled. For 1 o'clock
luncheon he prescribes "a few oysters
and cut of loin of mutton, some
chicken or game, or any other light
digestible meat. Afternoon tea is to
be. eschewed as if it were poison, but at
9 or O'clock the patient may have a
dinner. which should consist of plainly
cooked fish, mutton, venison, chicken,
grouse, partridge, hare, pheasant, tripe,
boiled in milk, sweetbread, lamb or
roast beef and stale bread. OF vegeta-
bles he may have his choice of French
beans, caulifiower, asparagus, vegetable
marrow or sea kale, and half wine
glass of cognac in water" If wine is
used, zone or two glasses of dry sherry
after dinner are recommended, and q
cupful of beef tea and "a biscuit before
going to bed may be taken" Brisk
walking, cycling or riding in modera-
ton also forms part of this pleasant
treatment Herald.

WILLOW AS A CROP.
Cutting Time Comes Once in Four Years
but 1t PAYS.


but 1t Pays.
In a beautiful sweep of lowland
north of Melvale station, on the North
ern Central railroad, and about nine
miles from the city, there is peculiar
farm. 1t is peculiar in that it renders
to its owner and tiller but one crop in
four years, and that crop of willow
shoots.
The farmer, Antoine Spath, came
from Frankfort, Germany, many years
ago. and after erecting himself conn
Portable stone house, which still stands
in the midst of picturesque clump Of
willows at the end of the little valley set
abont planting his first crop of willow
shoots. Every year since he has gone
on planting row after row, until the
valley has become covered with them.
Spath had learned the art of weaving
willow ware in his boyhood days by
the shores of the River Main, and as
fast as his little plantation grew he
gathered the shoots, stripped them OF
their green outer covering, and, after
drying them, wove baskets of every
conceivable form or size.
ut seems rather peculiar work in
this country" said the willow farmer,
in speaking of his business, ''but in all
parts of Europe, especially III the Ger
man provinces, it is a very common
thing to find willow plantations and
willow weavers, for there willowSia
used in many forms and for a greater
number of purposes than find it used
in this country. In Germany and
France willow is employed in making
at least twenty different sorts. of bird
cages, while in America metal is used
brass or iron wire-and different woods.
Among the best families in European
countries cradles, woven by German
workers, may be found constructed en-
tirely of willow. Then there are a
hundred and one shapes of marketing
b skets, baskets used by milliners and
laundresses, baskets and panniers to be
carried upon the backs of men and
beasts for holding fish and fowl.
''In preparing the willow for the

attained four years of growth. The
cutting time is early in the spring, be-
fore the sap is done running, and after
tying them in bundles they are placed
in ponds of water to keep them in a
green state until ready for stripping.
Stripping the willow is accomplished
by drawing the switches through and
between two heavy iron stanchions,
whose edges peel the light green bark
from the white heart, and then, after
drying or curing them upon long racks,
we have got the willow in form fo1
the weaver.
1t was many years after l planted
this farm with willows before any one
thought of initiating my example, but
now there are several other plantations
located upon the Washington and An.
napolis roads, and though you may find
quite as busy scenes there, you will
scarcely find more picturesque place
than this anywhere, and that was one
of the reasons that led me to settle
here. Baltimore American.

FLOATING PALACE.
THE CHINA AT TIE MAIL
WHARF.
The Longest Vessel in the Pacific Comes
Inside OF the Bsrbor.

The Z. VI. S. S. China, Captain
Seabury, was sighted very early
yesterday morning and about 80
o'clock she crossed the bar for the
first time and majestically steamed
up the channel. AS she passed
the lighthouse a salute of welcome
was fred from the battery. Cap
tain Seabury returned the COM
pliment by opening wide the mouth
of the steamers syren.
1t did not take Captain Fuller
very long to get the big vessel
alongside of the mail wharf and as
soon as it was known about town
that the vessel had locked many
people fastened down to the wharf
to see and examine one of the
finest steamers plying in the Paci-
fic Ocean.
The China was built at GLASGOW
in 1889 especially for the Pacific
trade. She is 456 feet in length
just SO feet longer than the
City of Peking. Her breadth is
4S Ito. Her engines are of 5000
horsepower. She has accommoda-
tons for 119 cabin passengers and
1876 can be carried in her steerage.
Her crew numbers 1853 men with
four deck officers to look after
them. The chief engineer has six
assistants.
The China has made eighteen
round trip voyages from San Fran
cisco TO the Orient. The state
rooms and other apartments, in
Guiding the saloon, are magnifi-
Gently furnished, and as a passen-
ger remarked, "she is a floating
palace"
Everything about the handsome
steamer is as clean as the proven
bal new pin, and between decks
there is noticeable absence of that
peculiar "bilge water SMELL" SO
common on other steamers.
The vessel was advertised to re-
sumo her voyage at 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon, and long before that hour
large crowd of people congregated
on the wharf to see her depart.
The Hawaiian band was present,
and for over half an hour a lively
serenade was kept up, which
pleased the passengers immensely.
The deck of the vessel was
thronged with local people who
were there to bid Chas. T. Wilder
and Rev. w. B. Oleson goodbye.
Both gentlemen were kept busy
shaking hands until the warning
gong was sounded. About 5 o'clock
the forward line was cast off and
slowly the bow of the vessel swung
around until it pointed towards the
sea. The stern line was let go, the
big propeller commenced to slowly
revolve, and the China steamed out
the channel on her way to San
Francisco.
The boat took the following pas
sengers from this port: Rev. w. B.
Oleson, Mr.. and Mrs. Emmants,
w. r. Barnet, George Chappell,
and Charles T. Wilder.
