This is woman's description of an ideal
husband:
A temperate, moral, intellectual, truth
full, energetic, affectionate, thoughtful,
fo.giving, Christian man, who chooses a
wife for her mind and heart rather than
face, and waits until sure he has found the
right one; who neither scolds nor laughs
at his wife and never contradicts her In
public; who loves home and children and
has certain means for making an hon
est, comfortable living; who is econom-
ical, but not stingy, and unless wealthy
keeps his life insured; who understands
that women have nerves, need money, en-
joy pretty things and are happier for being
petted

An old gentleman ON the Rochester and

preached the little town four or five people
followed the old man out on the rear plat

the lower step, and as the train sped past
shanty he leaned forward until the
alarmed conductor grabbed his coat tails,
The box struck the end of log, and a

Giving Aims.

On a recent morning, while number OF
men were seated near the front door in q
Broadway wholesale dry goods store, an
old but neatly dressed German woman en-.
tered. She carried an open basket contain.
ing boxes Of wax matches. She looked de
serving and honest, and one of the men
bought box from her. While she was
making change the door opened and a one
armed beggar entered. He looked dirty
and dissipated. He appealed to each man
separately, but in vain. As he turned to
go out the woman stopped him, took cent
out of her basket and handed it to him.
He took it readily enough and passed on.
She calmly picked up her basket and fol
lowed, leaving the men to regard each
other in wonder

He jumped up and looked out of the
door. He could see the beggar coming out
of store few doors above. The woman
was going down Broadway.-New York

A young woman of this city with some
literary taste, prompted by commendable
desire to become self supporting set out to
find congenial employment upon some one
of the Chicago dailies. Resolutely she
knocked at the door Of each, but IN vain.
All the places were filed and no prospect
Of a vacancy. Nothing daunted, she made
list from the directory of all the publish
ing houses and trade papers, determined to
persevere until success crowned her efforts
One by one these places were visited, until
finally, when she had nearly come to the
able gentleman, who, in bland voice, in
qnired the object of her call
81 desire editorial employment upon your
paper, SIR" she said.
II should be glad to engage your serv-
ices" replied the gentleman pleasantly
"but l fear you could not possibly meet
the requirements of an editor upon my
paper. We are specialists, and ladies do
not usually inform themselves upon our
business"
81 don't know about that, sir. Indeed
feel that can write upon almost any sub
ject. Although young, have had CON
siderable experience"
Doubtless, miss, but, you see, ours is
is-a-a hog paper"
"WeIl, SIR" she spoke up bravely, 'it's
quite true that l haven't read very much
about those very interesting animals, but
/ have an uncle who has reared quite a
number of them, and guess he could post
me for the position"
She got a place, and good one Such
perseverance always wins--Chicago Mail.

d. p. THOMPSON. ing iron he stud
led the higher mathematics and soon
became SO expert in surveying that he
was employed on the engineer corps Of
the Steubenville and Indiana railroad.
In 1858 he went to Oregon and for
twenty years did more or less work as a
surveyor, but invested in land with SO
much judgment that he soon became a
capitalist and banker. In speaking of
himself he says that he is "a blacksmith
by trade, surveyor by profession and
banker by occupation" and this sums
up the story of his life. He has served
as governor of Idaho one term, mayor of
Portland three terms, state senator four
years, and in some minor positions. He
has twice been offered the Republican
nomination for governor, but declined
on account Of business engagements.
His term as minister to Turkey will only

ITS FATE Is CERTAIN.
A Once Famous Town Sure to BE De
stroyed.

Once Famous Town Sure to BE De-
stroyed.
Kaskaskia was once the capital of nli-
nois Territory and famous western
city. There Lafayette received royal
entertainment during his visit to the
United States he had helped to create.
For long time the inhabitants held the
adjacent grazing and farming land in
common under a grant made by Louis
XIV of France, and each spring the
village priest allotted meadow and fallow
ground to the various householders. But
now, according to st. Louis correspond
ent, the ancient and almost forgotten
town seems to be doomed.
In the spring of 1881 the Mississippi
river changed its channel, cutting away
its banks and breaking into the Kaskas-
kia, or what was known years ago as the
Okaw river, making perfect island of
Kaskaskia township and the doomed
town. Since that time the river has
slowly but surely made deadly inroads
to the once furnishing village, and in
less than year the Father of Waters
will have swallowed up this ancient set
Element.
At the head of the chute, where the
Mississippi cut its way through to the
Okaw river, stands an old fashioned
brick house, the first one erected In the
once metropolis of Illinois. 1t stands
deserted, save by the rats that move I'M
molested from garnet to cellar. 1t is
seldom visited. The owner has long
since died. Surrounded by grove OF
maple and cedar trees it presents lone
some appearance. 1t will be the next
victim for the angry waters, and one
more favoite landmark will have disap-
peared.
Little shanties that were erected years
ago have toppled over and swept down
stream with the mighty current that
seemed destined to sweep every land
mark out of existence that had adorned
the village of Kaskaskia for the past
century. Seventy-fve years ago the
town promised to be a city. Even be-
fore st. Louis had a population of 500
souls every indication pointed toward
Kaskaskia as the growing city of the
west, but the high water played sad
havoc with the settlement, and st. Louis
grew and prospered.
In 1880 the population was 1913, and
nine years later, in 1889, it had been re-
duced to S62. Since the Mississippi
river has made such a determined eff
fort to swallow up the village the island
has been comparatively deserted, not
more than 400 souls inhabiting this once
prosperous settlement. The farmers mo
other class Of people now exist there)
cross the river in skiffs and do their
trading at Chester and return to their
island to live in solitude until once more
they are compelled to visit Chester to
lay in their winter or summer supply Of
provisions and clothing.
The land is the most fertile in Illinois,
and passing steamers are hailed to move
the crops that are harvested in great
abundance.

A Milk White Lake.

Herr Thoroddsen announces that he has
found "a very long lake." stretching from
the margin of the mighty glacier which
forms the western side of the Vatna-Jokull,
in Iceland. 1t is milk white, from the gla-
cier water of which it is composed, and has
been named the Langisjor. The scenery
around it is described as very beautiful,
though the discoverer adds that ''vegeta-
ton is quite absent"
On the other side of the chain which ter
inmates the lake in the south there is an
extensive plateau, ON which was seen the
glitter Of a large water course, probably
the Skapta, and far to the south some great
lava stream, dating probably from the 1888
eruption. Tribune.

About Waiting.

The old proverb that all things come to
him who waits advances very pretty and
pleasant theory but its literal interpreta-
ton makes it capable Of great misconstruc-
ton, for II 1t is in one sense true its reverse
is equally true. Nothing comes to him
who waits. Nothing comes to him who
waits and does no more. There is nothing
In the world that is Of any value that has
not TO be struggled for, and those who sit
down and fold their hands, expecting fate
and fortune to bring them what they most
desire, will meet with the disappointment
they deserve.-Harper's Bazaar.

How a Zulu Receives a Visitor.

A Zulu chief, when a man enters his
hut, remains silent for some moments
and seems quite unconscious of his pres
ence. AT length he says, in tone of
great dignity, zee saku bona" q see
YOU, to which the caller replies in the
same way. The longer he takes to ''see
you" the greater man the visitor is sup
posed to be, and until he is thus ''seen"
he must keep silence and appear as much
as possible not to be there at all.

A DULL DAY IN THE HOUSE.
A Little Talk over the Reports Of th
Tariff Bill Hearings.

Tarlu Bill Hearings.
Washington, Oct. 12.-There were indi-
cations this morning that some members
Of the House had "staid up" with the
Senate part Of last night, as there was
plainly no quorum present, but no point
was made
The amendments Of the Senate to the
House joint resolution, allowing the state
of Wisconsin to place a statue of Pere
Marquette in the capitol were agreed to-
Mr.. Meikeljohn, Of Nebraska, called up
the bill applying the laws of March 3,
1891, to that portion Of the Sioux reser-
vation which extended into Nebraska and
the bill was passed.
The House passed the concurrent res0-
luton authorizing 1000 copies Of the
hearings before the committee on ways
and means for the use Of the House, but
not before Messrs. Burrows Of Michigan,
Hopkins OF Illinois, Dingey of Maine,
and Dalzell of Pennsylvania, had made a
fight for an increased number.
Mr.. Wilson stated that the House
would not be justified in printing more
than 1000 copies. The statements were
all on one side, and by persons who are
interested in maintaining the present
tariff rates, or against any changes in ex-
isting tariff laws.
Mr. Dalzell asked If all persons were
not invited TO present their views.
Mr. Wilson replied that it was true,
but so few persons were asked as to make
his statement practically true.
After further discussion by Messrs.
Pickler and Simpson in regard to the
timber bill protecting the forests Of the
west, the House, at 5:45 p. m, adjourned.

Mr.. Carlisle speaks for it, showed the
first sign of weakening.
AT 10; ;l5 p. m. Mr.. Wolcott called for a
quorum.
Only thirty-nine senators replied to
their names and on motion Of Mr.. Voor-
hees, the sergeant at arms was directed
TO compel the attendance of absent mem
bers. But before it became necessary to
act on the order four others came into
the hall, thus making the quorum, and Mr.
Stewart continued
Mr.. Wolcott allowed his opponents Just
half an hour respite before he announced
that there was conspicuous absence of

motion Of various senator's, Messrs
George and Walthall of Mississippi, Glib
son Of Maryland, Stockbridge of Michi-
gan, Colquitt of Georgia, Dolph Of Ore
Carolina were excused from
attendance on account of illness,
and fatigue. The loss of a quorum for
this length of time was generally believed
to be the beginning of the end The
quorum was broken by the refusal of GER
tain southern democrats to vote.

without quorum.

fering, but thought quorum would APP
pear. He was willing TO take q recess,

and completed the quorum and the ven
cradle senator from Nevada resumed his
speech.

Iourn."

and In an instant the eSenate chamber was
deserted, after a continuous session of 3S
hours and 40 minutes.
