UP IN A MINARET.
Climbing Spiral Stairways That Lead
to the Top of Slender Tower.
Blackwood's Magazine.


Entrance to the mosques is rarely refused
Christians, except on festivals, and it is to the
top OF the highest minaret in the town that we
are bound. The narrow spiral staircase affords
no more than head-and-shoulder room; the
steps are foul with summeI-blown dust, with
bones brought in by owls and kites, besides
other venerable rubbish and after what seems
interminable gyration We emerge unon the airy
gallery which enclrcles the top of the slender
tower.

WHY NOT BE HAPPY TO-DAY ?

L have questioned my hopes of the future
have doubted my dreams of the past,
1 have roamed through the realms of ambition,
With visions too lovely to last.
1 have longed for youths fondest ideas,
But those phaDtoms are now far away,
And at last fair philosophy whispers,
on why not be happy to-day?
Though storm clouds may darke life's valley,
(And each heart has some shad ows of care)
The bright sun will soon giid the heavens,
nd thy troubles will melt into air.
80 what is the use of repinlng?
VIII IL bless or ennoDle you. pray?
No; the world does not care for your whining
SO why not be happy to-day?
Ah, the old world at heart is too solemn,
or life is at best full o. trials
But try TO be cheerful. twill help you.
III you brighten all pathways With smiles.
Then life will be well worth the living
Let Kindness illumine the way,
And with Hopes guiding banner before us,
Let's strive to be happy to-day.

Some Mustache History.

What is the history of the mustaches
In Greece and Rome no mustaches were
worn without boards, but in the conquering
days of the Roman empire several half civ
iized races who had come partially under
the influence of the Romans and who
wished to be rid of the name of barbari, or
wearers of boards, attempted to shave in
imitation of their conquerers. But as they
had very imperfect implements for the
purpose, and as the upper lip is VIGOROUSLY
the hardest part of the face to shave in the
case of any one poorly skilled in the art,
they were unable to make clean job of it
and left quantity of hair on the upper lip.
This mark was characteristic of severa,
nations on the confines of Roman civiliza-
ton; of the Gauis in particular, of the Da-
Ciens and some others. See the Roman stat
ue of The Dying Gaul' III the Museum of
Fine Arts-perhaps the only classical rep
resentation OF Il mustache to be found in
that institution. The Latin language has
no word for mustaihe. This barbarous &C
cident was unworthy of the honor of Ro-
man name.-Boston Transcript.

What Becomes of Gold and Silver.

Between 1859 and 1889, 80 years, or less
than half one lifetime, India has absorbed
ell7, 100000 in gold and !e227 ,0OO, 900 in sill
Yer, or e344, 10000 in all. What has be-
come of the silver we do not exactly know,
though it is certain that a great proper
ton of it is boarded as fixed and visible
wealth, but about the destination of the
gold there is no doubt whatever The peo-
pie have got the whole of it in their own
hands, for it is not in circulation, and are
using it either in ornaments, kept, be it
observed, to pawn in extremity, or as
boarded treasure in coin. such as lies under
almost every peasants floor in the Punjab
and eastern Bengal.
India is a treasure house of gold, yet a
man may live 80 years in the British prov
inces and never see an ounce.-London

Flowers That Deceive Carbon Insects.

A certain undertone of decomposition
may be detected by keen nostrils in the
scent of May, which is indeed more agree
able in the open air than in a warm room,
and it is this curious element in an other
wise delicious and pure perfume that at
tracts the meat eating insects, or rather, to
be more accurate, the insects that lay their
eggs and hatch out their Larvae in decaying
animal matter.
The hawthorn, however, keeps the I'M
pleasant meaty odor well in the back
ground, so that the perfume rs whole is
decidedly agreeable in the open air, but
many other fly flowers have it so strongly
developed and so well initiated as to be
positively nauseous. This is particularly
the case with parasitic plants, which often
combine with their predatory habits the
vile and odious deception of inducing flies
to lay eggs on their surface under the hate
full pretense of being carrion in an advanced
stage of decomposition. Could any flower
positively sink lower from its high estate
than thus to masquerade in the loathsome
disguise of a decaying dead animal?-Long-

TERRIBLE ADuLTERATIoN.
SAMPLES Of Various Kinds of Coffee That
Were Not For Sale.


Were Not For Sale.
while there is more or less swindIing in
all sorts of foods and drinks nowadays"
said travelling man in the reading room of
a Detroit hotel tie other evening. 1.-THE way
in which coffee drinkers are cheated is moth
ing short of bold faced robbery. How much
pure coffee do You suppose you get to the
pound:"
''They wouldn't dare put in over four
ounces of chicory," answered one OF the
group.
Wouldn't, Ell? 1t isn't a question of
dare, but do. You speak as if chicory was
the only thing used, whereas it is only one
of a dozen ingredients. Chicory isn't harm
full, but it has become too dear to be ex-
travagantly used. I'm in the coffee trade,
as you know. and / shouldn't give away
the secrets, but let me tell you that where
you get four ounces of real coffee to the
pound you are in luck. The rest is made
up of adulteration."
But that's prepared coffee"
Just so, but if you imagine there is no
swindling in the berry you are sadly mis-
taken. Hold on minute till bring you
down a few samples"
He went to his room and returned with
three or four samples and spread them out
on paper and said:
st isn't fair to the trade, but ! depend
on you not to give me away. Examine
these roasted berries This is a sample of
our Old Government Java. See anything
queer"
No. answered two or three voices after
a brief inspection.
Il didn't expect you would. About one
berry out of five is the real thing The
others are Rio, which have been fed through
a machine and clipped to resemble Java.
It's easy enough to deceive the public in
prepared coffee or berries ready for grind
ing, but how about the green berriess
Please examine them closely. All the
same size and shape, aren't they"
Yes
Take 'em all for genuine Mocha, eh:''
Yes"
''Of course you would! That's why we
wax fat and grow rich. One-third of those
berries are made in machine out of a GER
tain paste. Another third are pure Rio.
It's what you might call a two-thirds swim
die on a confiding public, but please don't
give me away / could sell that coffee for
IA cents pound and make big profit. What
do you think of it?''
This question was addressed to an old De
troit grocer who had been attracted to the
group and was testing some of the berries
between his teeth.
did you say 1872 asked the grocer.
YES"
please take my order for half a million
pounds"
''W-what.'
Make it an even million while you are
about it and telegraph to your house to
begin shipping at once!'
Gentlemen" said the coffee man as he
carefully put away his samples, Il believe
there is a bar in this house. | believe we
are all thirsty. Suppose we all take drink
at my expense"
But what about the order?" asked the
grocer, with a smile.
Nothing. These chaps were hungry for
yarn, and l was giving 'em one, and you
were mighty mean man to come along

A Great Invention.

OTTAWA (Ont.), February 27.-Al-
bert Grignard of the Department of
the Interior returned from New
York to-day with his solicitor, w. j.
Code, having completed the sale to
New York corporation of an inven
ton in connection with Autograph
ing which will revolutionize this de-
partment of the printing trade. 1t is
understood that the consideration
paid to Grignard for his invention is
in the neighborhood of $1,0OO,O0O,
together with a royalty on all works
produced by his system. The trans
action is one of the greatest magni-
tude and will affect the operations
of every concern in the Autograph
ing business not only in the United
States, but throughout the world.
Grignard has succeeded in so af-
fecting the photographic art as to
produce a perfectly toned picture
embracing from fifteen to eighteen
colors in its composition, from one,
or at most three impressions, where
as it originally required one impress
sion for each color so used. This has
hitherto been considered an impossi-
bility, but Grignard has succeeded
in finding the secret and has been
well rewarded. Grignard will re-
move to New York.

NATIVE CONFIDENCE MAN.
Caught in a Game of Getting Money
Under False Pretences.

A native named Puahala, a we'll
known bad character who has served
several sentences on the reef on
charges of vagrancy, was arrested
this morning on charge of obtain
ing money under false pretences.
Puahala was only discharged from
jail lately. He accosted gentle
man the other day and asked him
for few dollars as change to carry
in his pockets. He said he had stolen
5000 some time ago and had hid it,
but was afraid to go and dig it up.
The money was given him with his
promise to return twofold. Another
request of his, which was, however,
considered too MODESTO secure
him sack--was rejected.
In the early part of this week
Puahala went to the residence of
Mrs. S. Mahelona, adjoining G..
Beckley's, and told her that he had
been taking care of some property
belonging to her late husband on
Molokai. He also stated that there
was quantity of fowls, pigs and
other supplies coming down on the
steamer Mokolii to-day, aud that he
wanted $3.50 to pay for the freight.
Mrs. Mahelona handed the man So
aud promised the balance yesterday
evening.
When he was gone she suspected
that there was something wrong
with the man. He returned yester-
day evening and was told to come
this morning. She telephoned to
the police, who promptly arrived,
and Puahala was taken in charge.
There was, of course, no truth in his
story. He will have to answer for
getting money under false pretences.

having been seven months in the
