The world has had few leaders born
in the purple. Its real kings have
not been the sons of kings. Nepole-
ons have not descended from mon
archs. The founders Of its philoso-
phies have not been the children of
philosophers, nor Of its dynastlcs the
heirs of emperors. The trainers Of
the creeds, the inventors OF the faiths
and religions Of the race have come
from the manger, the forge and the
carpenters bench, and not from the
church. The great captains have not
sprung from warriors, and those who
have composed the dramas, written
the lyrics and pronounced the ora
tions that are immortal have Inherit
ed neither their passion nor their elo-
quence. A pedigree may be gratify-
ing to pride, but it is not consoling to
ambition.
Those who greatly succeed are not
always those OF whom success could
be predicted. 1t Is sometimes said in
explanation of the caprices of desti-
ny that circumstances make heroes,
and that chance fayors the victor.
But the reverse is true. Men make
circumstances. One seizes the op-
pOrtunity that is offered to all. In
the domain Of law there can be no ac-
cidents. Every man goes to his own
place. Village Hampdens and mute,
inglorious Millions are myths. There
are no great men lying in ambush OF
lurking privily.
The apitaph and eulogy abound in
laudation Of self-made men. There
are no others. All men who are
made at all are self-made. Books and
schools cannot make men. Colleges,
universities and professors afford men
the opportunity to make themselves.
Learning can make pedagogue,
knowledge can make pedant, Sbut nc
one does the utmost of which he is ca
pablc except under the spur ant
thong Of necessity. Poverty may b,
; inconvenlent and intolerable, but h,
, who is born poor is fortunate. Th'
. leaders of thought, business, and so
ciety in the coming generation vii
not be the gided youth of 1893, far
: ing sumptuous1y every day. TIL,
bankers, railroad presidents, states
men and plutOcrats of the twentieth
century will be the sons of the farm
| ers and labOrers who are striving
! against formidable obstacles and pri
yatiOns to enter in at the straigh
: gate.
: To discriminate among the livin,
: would he ungraciOus, but If we in
quire who among the illustrious son
Q OF the republic have most ineffacea
bly, stamped their mark upon our In
. stitutions and shaped the destinie
: of the nation, the answer would in
: clude few who were favored b.
S birth or fortune. Washington seem
: like an exception, but his nativit
4 was humble, his youth was spent Il
! toll, and his great wealth, whicl
: made him the richest man in tn
country, came largely by inheritance
Lincoln and Jackson, among th
presidents, Clay, Webster and Douf
las, among the statesmen Of our frs
country, Grant, Greedy, Wilson, Go,
ernor Morton, Sheridan, GovernC
d Andrews, Lord Garrison, Stevens, an
the men who directed the energies {
n Of the country in that momentou
i period from 1860 to 1866, were all c
humble origin, with no heritage bu
!. an honest name.

Frequent pruning seems to be very
essential to rose culture; the old
wood must be severely cut away, and
quite often-at least four times a
year. AS fast as the roses bloom the
seed pods should be clipped oil, y the
effort to form seed exhausts the vital
tty Of the bush prevents free bloom
ing. The food supply wants to bc
renewed as often as the pruning Ia
done; find cotton seed meal is very
excellent--a Tablespoonful Is enough
for a young bush q compost Of ashes
and cowpen manure h also good.

tweezers, scissors and every other
sort of implements Of torture. The
reporter simply sat still and shudder-
ed while she discoursed on the value
Of the tools, and when she finished he
had barely strength to ask her II she
knew OF any curious occurrences in the
rooms where bodies were cut up.
"Plenty of them," was the startling
reply. ''Once friend of mine was
dissecting cadaver late at night.
No one was In the room with her, and
she was perfectly absorbed in her
work. While bending over the body,
which had its arms crossed over It's
breast, she accidentally touched one
OF the muscles under the shoulder,
and the cadayer's arms flew over and
clasped her around the waist. She
was too badly frightened to scream,
but when she regained her breath she
fairly made the walls ring with
shrieks. BY the time assistance
reached her she was almost in hys.
terics, and it was some time before
she could be induced to enter the
room again.

APonular Chinese Game.

Weichi is the greatest game of the Chinese, especially with the literary class, and is ranked by them superior to chess. Like chess, this game is of a general military and mathematical character, but is on a much more eX- tended scale, the board containing two hundred and sixty-one places and em- ploying nearly two hundred men on a side. All of the men, however, have the same value and powers. The ob- ject is to command as many places on the board as possible. This may be done by inclosing empty spaces, or sur rounding the enemy's men. Very close calculation is always essential in order that loss in one region may be met by gains in another, thus employing skillful strategy when the contestants are evenly matched. The game has come down from great antiquity, being first mentioned in Chinese writing about 625 B. c. It was in all proba- bility introduced by the Babylonian astronomers, who were at that time in- structors of all the east

THE BALTIMORE'S GOAT.
The BrIndle Butter Which Is the Pet of
 a Steel Cruiser.

a Steel Cruiser.
 The name of the goat on the steel cruiser Baltimore is Bobby. He hadn't any name when he was shipped, says the New York Advertiser, and no one Bobby. Perhaps the fact that he wouldn't answer to any other name had something to do with it. As goats go he is fair to middling sort of an animal. He isn't white, he isn't black, and he isn't any other distinct color He is brindle goat, and his horns are short and stubby, and his eyes sort of sad, like those of an alligator. His years are few and his experience large. He has been an investigator ever since he was led up the gang plank and made part of the ships complement forward. It is difficult to imagine a more independent goat. He does not ask to be fed. When meal time ar rives he is aware of the fact and proceeds to put himself in di- rect communication with a meal. If there are no cabbage leaves or tender sprouts from lettuce he
 
 enough for Bobby, so are cake and bananas and fruits. If it happens that all these are out of his reach he has been known to sigh. One sigh is all he heaves. Then he gets right down to business. If coil of rope is handy he will begin to nibble the tough sisal fiber. In the absence of rope he boldly tackles an anchor chain, a gun carriage or the forecastle gangway. By this time some one will note the fact that Bobby is hungry and he will be invited to mess with the port watch. Bobby is far from timid. He has undertaken time and again to climb to the military top and on one occasion went down the mar row iron steps to the engine-room, whore he noted with evident sat- isfaction that the ship was keep ing up her record in speed, as indicated by the revolutions of the screw During a storm Bobby is as brave as any blue jacket in the crew He takes his place alongside the boat sWain'S mate and watches the move ments of the men in response to the piping of the whistle. Bobby was one of the attractions during the Co., lumbus events in New York harbor. He was prettily decorated and marched up and down the spar deck with the air of one who had an important part to play. On the next anniversary of the launching of the Baltimore the immediate friends and associates of Bobby will present him with a collar befitting his station.

Smallpox and Darkness.

It was several years ago that Galla- vardin drew the attention of French practitioners to the advantages of treating the smallpox according to the plan originally suggested and carried out by John of Goddesden and Waters. The treatment in question consisted simply in keeping the patients abso- lutely away from all solar light, and this soar darkness had to be, from first to last, complete and uninterrupted, otherwise no beneficial results could be looked for. The same authority has recently published the results of his ex- perience with this method. covering a period of some sixteen years, showing that. if this plan be carried out, the great advantage ensues of there being no period of suppuration, and, in con sequence, the subsequent searr:ng is infnitesimal

sALToN SINK FILLING.
Indications That the Desert Will Again
 Become Sea.

Become a Sea.
 The famous Salton sea is likely to re- appear at a very early date. Whether it will make permanent stay of it this time or not, says the San Francis co Examiner, is of course mystery, but that it is coming back is the opin- ion of old desert men. Two years ago the transformation of Salton Sink on the Colorado desert into a vast but shallow sea startled the world, and for a time it appeared as if the great basin which centuries ago had been a contin- nation of the Gulf of California was to return to its original condition. But in some way the break in the bank of came was closed, the supply ceased, and the rays of the sun soon knocked out the same.
 E. W. Lang is one of the most expe- rienced desert men in the country, and he has large bunch of cattle now in the vicinity of Indian Wells. He is in this city and in conversation with a reporter said: ''Yes, the water will come into Salton basin again this year. Whether it will be as large as last time or larger I cannot tell, but the flow from the Colorado river has been going into the desert for some time past and may continue. There was very large fall of snow last win ter in the mountains of Montana. Ida ho and Utah, and the melting of this has caused the present break into the desert. The overflow of two years ago was the first in twenty years, but ev- erything indicates that a few hundred years before the basin was literally a sea, as the beaches are still plain about the foothills, and the rocks show wa ter wearing.
 ''When the overflow of two years ago occurred the water followed the iden- tical channels that had become almost obliterated from age. The water is now running into the desert in two branches. One is Carter river, and leaves the Colorado about fifteen miles below Yuma. The other channel is New river, and is forty-fve miles fur ther down the river. Salton is about two hundred feet below the level of the debouchements of these rivers. The water has been flowing into both of the breaks I have named for several weeks past. Both New and Carter riv- CTS had advanced about thirty-fve miles when left, and think the wa ter will be into Salton in few weeks more. A number of large Iagoons have already been filled between the Sink and the Colorado. One of these is fully ten miles square. It will not take long before these depres- sions between the river and the big basin are filled, and then the water will slide over into Salton.''

6Sreoia0 A0tiuuitieS.

Archaeological research in old Greece continues with the passion and dura tion worthily characterizing the scien tific enthusiast. The site of the exca- vations now being conducted under the auspices of the American school of classical studies at Athens and the archaeological institute of America is the great temple of Hera, at Argos, a sanctuary only less renowned than the temple of Zeus at Olympia, and the Parthenon at Athens. The presiding genius of the work of exploration is Dr. Waldstein. A find of architectural significance. because bearing upon a mooted point, is the discovery of color upon cornices, triglyphs, metopes and other parts of the Doric order. Of small relies sixty-three baskets had been collected at last accounts.

Mems Immunities.

A woman must be at home to bores, says writer in the Washington Post, while her brother has the absolute right to avoid dull women. She must wait for partner in the dance, while her brother may seek one. She must smile on old Stumbleover and accept his moist hand for the dance, although she knows that bruised ankles will be the swift penalty. A woman equally clumsy, old and unattractive, has the right" to put herself in bold relief against the wall as part of it's human dado. Why should not Stumbleover take his place beside her? Also, as if life were a mere cotillion-must our daughter watch and wait the coming of her lord and master?

The Original Scriptures.

The Scriptures were first written on skins, linen cloth or papyrus, and rolled up as we do engravings. The Old Testament was written in the old He brew character-an offshoot of the Phenician. Itwas a symbol language as written, having no vowels. The consonants only were written and the vowel sounds supplied by the voice. The words ran together in a continuous line. After the Hebrew became dead language vowels were supplied to preserve usage, which was passing away. After the Babylonish captivity the written Hebrew was modified by the Aramaic, and schools of reading taught the accent and emphasis. Then came the separation of words from each other, then division into verses.

Queen Victo-ia's VIII.

Queen Victoria made her will in 1886. It is engrossed on vellum, quarto size, and is bound as volume, secured with private lock. Several blank pages have been left at the end of the book for codicils, some of which have already been added. Thus, when Princess Alice died, in 1878, modifca- tions of the bequests were rendered necessary; and in the summer of 1884, after the duke of Albany's death, further revisions were imperative. One entry relates entirely to the dis posal of the queens jubilee gifts, which are not the property of the na- tion.

Paul's Plan.
Health Officer H0yt sent letter to
the board Of education month ago call
ing attention to the fact that the collec-
ton of pencils from pupils and redis-
tributing them the next morning was a
means of spreading infectious diseases
such as diphtheria. HIS letter was in
accord with the judgment of the meal
cat profession, and contained a sugges-
ton that the practice was pernicious,
and might be abolished in the interest
of health. The course of DR.. Hoyt was
commended by physicians generally in
the city. The idea was made light of in
some laity circles, however, and also by
editorial comment in morning paper.
