Boston is today, and visitors Hooked
aboard her in great numbers. Her cap
tain, an obliging man, made every effort
to see that his visitors were well cared
for, and personally he showed party aft
er party over the ship. At the mess
hour it was his habit to take the curious
down to the berth deck that they might
see how the sailors ate their meals. That
was before they had tables on board the
vessels Of war, and when the mess cloth
was spread on the deck.
The sailors did not mind this at first,
but after time it became irksome.
They came to the conclusion that their
privacy was being interfered with, and
SO finally they decided to put a stop to
it. The next time the captain took a
party down to show them his happy
family as it paid tribute to the inner man
an old salt, the acknowledged leader,
reached for certain bowl. This was the
signal, and forthwith dozen sunburned,
brawny arms were stretched forward to-
ward that self same bowl, and lively |
tussle for possession ensued. The cap
tain stood aghast. Such unseemly con-
duct paralyzed him, but before he could
recover there was an apparently vicious
''scrapn going on, and before his visitors |
too. This was too much for him, and
afterward the sailors partook Of their
meals uninterrupted Boston Globe.

Dramatio Tsste In San Francisco.

A San Francisco audience will be
much more amused by the manner in
which the professor breaks down Mrs.
Brooklyn Bridges ceiling than it will
over the splendid merrinent of Sir Toby
Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek and NAL
volio. 1t is like the French audience,
which IS infinitely more amused by wit
than by humor.
But comedy is not held in great favor
here. The San Franciscans being the
most pleasure loving of people, prefer
tragedy. A good, old fashioned, blood
splitting tragedy, where every one is
killed in the last act, is highly approved
of. If Edwin Forrest were alive today,
he would count his most frantic admir-
ers in the city by the Golden Gate.
Tragedy as he must have understood
it-tragedy played with all the force of
the tragedy where the murdered
victim and the despairing suicide took
half an hour to die and died acrobat
ically from the foothghts to the door at
the back Of the stage would meet with
the heartiest approval here. The ele-
ment in the theaters which loved and
worshiped Forrest and his energetic
methods is larger in San Francisco than
in most cities of its size. It is not that
the audiences here do not contain in
dividual spectators of the highest artis-
tic insight and cultivation, it is that the
majority of the audience is formed of
spectators whose taste in the drama is
very much on the same lines as the taste
IN the drama of the gods in the gallery.
The spectators of Insignificant education
and uncultivated taste are more numer-
GUS than the spectators of cultured mind
and trained powers of appreciation, and
the majority rules.-San Francisco Ar
gonaut.

subIimity on pike.s Peak.

One of the sublimest effects in nature
is occasionally seen by those who climb
the tall and isolated peaks of the Rocky
mountains in Colorado. The dryness Of
the air and the strong heat of the after
noon sun cause a rapid evaporation from
the brooks, springs and snowbanks on
the mountain sides, and this moisture,
rising on the warmer air, condenses as it
reaches the cooler, thinner atmosphere
about the mountain top. The traveller,
looking down, sees clouds literally form
ing below him and growing thick and
black every instant, so that as they
reached his level they roll skyward and
In huge masses Of vapor that eclipse the
view and bury him in darkness. Light
ming occasionally leaps from the clouds,
and mountain top is particularly bad
place to be in at such time. The stone
signal service station on Pixies peak has
been nearly wrecked by lightning more
than once.-New York Sun.

rha WON of Froxan Ar.

Near Dayton, Or, there is a well To-
cally known as the "wen of frozen air"
In drilling it stratum Of frozen clay
and gravel was encountered at a depth OF
50 feet. After passing through five feet
Of this numerous cavities were encoun-
tered from which cold air came with
sharp gusts. The escape Of the air from
the well may be heard a distance Of
nearly 200 yards, and it is SO frigid that
1t is not possible for any one to hold his
hand over the opening for more than a
few minutes without having it frozen
stiff. A bucketful of water set near the
mouth Of the well will freeze through
during one nights time. 1t is needless
to add that work on the well was aban-
doned as soon as thesefrigid blasts found
vent through the opening made by the
drill. Philadelphia Press.

PETTY JEALOUSiES.

Only Small Souls and Narrow Minds VIII
Permit Their indulgence.
There are few things in the world
more deadly to the happiness of the in
dividual and community at large than
the. indulgence of petty personal jeal-
ousies. There is nothing more un-
called-for, nothing more narrowing to
body, soul and spirit, than the con-
slant irritation that such littleness
gives rise to. Because some one re-
ceives more notice than some one else;
because ones confidential friend ex-
presses pleasure in the society OF an
other; because there is evident gratiti-
cation in such society, the gree n-eyed
monster Immediately goes to work,
and there are heart-burnings, little
malicious remarks, half-told truths
that are worse than the most infamous
falseboods, and all of the thousand and
one little petty bits of spite that no one
knows so well how to indulge as the
jealous soul.
To have ones pleasure destroyed be-
cause some friend receives attention;
to embitter ones days and nights be-
cause some agreeable thing is said or
done for an outsider, and to allow
these sentiments to work In the heart
until it changes the entire character of

The Terocious Afghans.

With all the races with which the
English have come in close contact, the
Afghans are the most uncivilized in
nature and grain. They are fierce,
bloodthirsty, fanatical and treacher-
Gus; their good qualities are of the
elementary, domestic kind, and their
highest virtue is courage, which they
possess in conspicuous degree. They
are uncivilized in the sense that they
are without any national cohesion or
responsibility. Each man is independ-
ent of his fellows and rejects the au-
thority of even tribal chiefs. No
doubt there are in every clan or tribe
men of prominence for their wealth or
prowess or cunning, who command a
certain following. But their influence
is personal and temporary and Fanishes
as quickly as it has sprung up.

Gain.
Loss.
sl6L.9is e7e ses 7s7. .sl2

From the above table we conclude
that, assuming it to be true that we
would have lost our gold in any event,
nothing but the silver treasury notes,
national bank notes and coine silver
saved us from a further contraction in
the total stock of money, amounting to
about SIS, 200. 000
But we also make another very inter-
esting discovery. During the twelve
months there were presented for re-
demption, redeemed in gold and then
Cancelled and destroyed, the sum of
s66, 971, 900 in gold certificates, which is
probably 40 per cent. more gold than
was drawn out of the treasury with
treasury silver notes i have no means
of ascertaining the amount of gold
drawn from the treasury in redemption
of greenbacks.
Now, as to the charge that the Sher-
man law in its operation works a con-
traction of the volume of money in cir
cuAtion- Not only is this not true, but
the fact is that. poor substitute as it is
for free coinage, the Sherman act saved
us from a contraction which would,
most likely, have worked great disas-
ters. When gold certificate is pre-
sented at the treasury for redemption,
redeemed and the gold exported, the
volume of money in circulation suffers
contraction exactly equal in amount
TO the gold exported. When silver
treasury note is redeemed in gold at
the treasury and the gold exported, the
treasury note is at once paid out again
and the volume of money in circulation
remains the same. That is all that
saved rs. The treasury lost its gold,
but the silver treasury note remained
with US, as money, and was not de-
stroyed as were the gold certificates.
It is true that the treasury loses a
portion of its gold reserve; but who
cares for that? The gold is dead and
idle capital, perpetual sacrifice to the
specie redemption delusion and not in
