One on DIR. Depew.

Here's one on Chauncey Depew.
The genial doctor had dropped in to
see gentleman on some business at
his private residence. An inquisitive
small boy was playing in The extern
sion room back of the parlor He
seemed to take great interest in the
visitor. and every now and then sus-
pended his sport to reconnoiter him.
When Mr.. Depew left, the lad ran to
the front window and, looking out
asked:
"Who is that man, papa"
Giles the gentleman your mother
and l were talking about at the
breakfast table this morning. Mr..
Depew, the greatest story-teller l
ever heard"
A few days after, the visitor came
again. The lad was standing on the
front stoop and as Mr.. Depew rang
the bell he said to him:
II know you
Mr.. Depew is fond of children, and
patting the little fellow on the head,
observed encouragingly: "Come now.
If you think you know who l am,
who am II"
"You're the gentleman that tells
the biggest whoppers papa ever
heard. New York Times.

In the Andes.

A traveller in the heart of the
Andes tells, in 'Tropical America, "
how he relieved his feelings when,
having assembled the Paramillos, he
found himself at the summit, nine
thousand feet above the sea level.
The scenery had increased in
grandeur every hour since daybreak.
and now two magnificent spectacles
were to be enjoyed. The first was a
broad view Of the Cuyo Valley, south.
ward and eastward, with Mendoza,
it's shaded streets. its plazas, and
suburban farms and vineyards directly
below us and so near that with glass,
streets and houses could be identi-
fled.
The second was an inspiring
glimpse of the main Andean chain,
now suddenly towering thousands of
feet above US in the west. Tupun-
cato, in solemn majesty, looked down
upon us from the clouds.
Then with a sharp turn in the
bridle-path hundred now-clads were
revealed at once. 1t was spectacle
to fire the blood. l had no COM
panion in sympathy with my enthu-
siasm, but the Chilean guide at least
had ears to hear compliments show
cred upon his native mountains.
Leaping from the mule, Ishouted:
''Magniflco! magniflco"
Then feeling the inadequacy of the
unfamiliar Spanish tongue for ex-
pressing genuine Yankee feeling, I
added:
"Hail Columbia Glory Hellelu.
jah."
A flush of patriotic pride illumin-
ated the Chilean's face, and he re.
peated, 'Magnifico."
There we stood in rapture, gazing
at the Andean kings with their
snowy ermine falling from their
stately shoulders

Many Miles of Coral Reef,

The largest coral reef in the world,
the great Barrier reef, is / $50 miles
long and it constitutes one of the
most valuable possessions of the
Queensland Government. ltstretches
from Torres Strait (close to New
Guinea) down to the southern part of
promontory known as BASTARD Head,
opposite Lady Elliot Island. Raw
material to the value of $500, 900 is
annually obtained from the reef, and
according to the jewelers. Weekly,
this amount could be enormously in
creased il some one with enterprise
would inaugurate more systematic
and scientific method of carrying on
the work, as the formation is intn
itely more valuable from a CONNER
cial than scientific point of view.
Various theories have been advanced
at different times as to the origin of
this and other reefs of similar nature,
and it is interesting to note that COM
petent authorities are, to large ex-
tent united in assuming probable
connection at one time between Aus
tralia, New Zealand, and New Guinea,
and in favor of the subsistence of the
original mainland and gradual up
building of the reef from below, &C
cording to the accepted ideas of the
origin OF these appropriately named
"barriers. Captain Cook, to whom
lies the credit OF discovering the is
lands in the south seas, first made
known to civilization the existence OF
the great Barrier reef, but there is nc
doubt that he had no knowledge OF
the value of his discovery beyond
what attached to it from a geograph
ical stand point

Crossings at Grade.

1.-The grade crossing must CO." IL
what the Chicago papers print j.
italics Recently one of these pa pers
published the names of the people
run down and killed by steam cars at
crossings within the city. These
were accidents entirely distinct from
those which occur on the cable and
horse car roads The list filled three
columns. It showed that within
Chicagos limits during the past
eighteen months life day has been
ground out by the steam cars at the
street crossing. The thought is ap'
palling. Most frequently it is the
pedestrian taken unawares. Some.
times it is the vehicle that is caught
Every month or so, through some
mistake in signals, a street car il
crushed, and the dead and injured
count up score.

THE DAYS OF OLD.

days OF old, forever past, what IL tie charm
you hold
which turns your sorrow into Joy. your silver
into gold?
Outlines your sky was overcast, fierce storms
swept DER your way,

All mel 1t was the promise Of young life's morn
ing hours.
The amour Of Hopes magic spell which paved
the wav with flowers:
She showed us all the bliss of earth-it seemed
within our grasp
Alas it turned to worthless dross when held
with eager clasp.
Lifes path has WIDER smoother grown, the
winds are soft and sweet
Which gently touch the fading cheek, as day
and twilight meet.
But Oh to know one hour again when All that
life can give
Seemed waiting for our hand to take, and it
was Joy to live!

When he leaves the car he counts the
peanuts he has left. and if he has
thirty he knows there were twenty
passengers on that run. One of the
boys saw him counting his peanuts,
noticed that he looked guilty, spoke
of it to some of the conductors, who
watched him and found out his sys-

pulsion which train of four cars
with sixty-ton locomotive running

hammer weighing nearly so, 900 tons,
and that is almost exactly the force
of the blow of the ram upon the
Camperdown as estimated when that
warship struck the Victoria.
