RESULTS OF ENVIRONMENT.

How Philosophical Discourse Was Born
of the Timidity of a Backwoods Couple.
1t did not take close observer to see
that they were from the country. His
tall and lean figure was adorned with
an i'll fitting suit of clothes, and his
large, clumsy boots were still covered
with the dust of country roads-a sight
SO keenly appreciated by the courteous
bunko steerer.
She had rosy cheeks and was plump of
figure. Had she worn other than red
dress and not an old fashioned bonnet
with green ribbons, she might have been
termed real pretty.
They stood in front of the Aston House
looking about them in dazed sort of
way. Evidently their desire was to cross
the street, but the long line Of trucks
and wagons, the cable cars with their
incessant changing and the noise gem
orally caused them to hesitate.
Presently she clutched him by the ann
and anxiously, even nervously, looked
into his face.
Mercy, John, let's go back ter hum
This noise is too much"
eyer right" replied John. Cant
stand it myself"
She clutched his arm, and with hur-
ried steps they proceeded down Barclay
street
A party of gentlemen on the steps of
the Aston House had been watching the
couple and overheard the remarks passed
between them.
THAT shows you what effect environ
ment has upon people," said one philo-
sophically. "They were brought up in
the country, where probably no muir
muir of the business and commercial
world ever found its way. To them the
lazy wind signing among the branches
of the trees, the singing Of the birds and
the running waters of the brook form an
important part of their daily life. They
would be unhappy, even in the grandest
palace, without this simple yet beauti-
full music of nature.
"Yet how different it is with me. add
undoubtedly with you all! tire of the
country in few days. Tome the scene
before us now is as inspiring and beauti-
full as any ever saw elsewhere. The
rumbling of the vehicles over the pave
ment, the changing Of the bells, the hiss
ing of steam, the hurrying feet and the
unceasing noise of hustle and business
all combine to make one grand sympho-
ny that my ears never tire of hearing. l
can work and think the better for it,
but were banished to some rustic scene
work would cease, inspiration would
leave me, and l would even be unhappy,
longing for the busy environments of
city like New York.
'As it is with individuals, SO it is with
nations, with kingdoms, empires and re-
publics. Their characters, their traits
and their nationalities can all be traced
to their surroundings, and believe there
is nothing in what we call human ma
ture that is not result of environment.
Change the universe, the customs and
manner of living, and, mark my word,
you change human nature"
The philosophical gentleman looked
proudly at his listeners, and with the
bow of an orator retiring from the plat
form he sauntered into the lobby of the

Wire as a Strengthened.

The method of strengthening copper
steam pipes by means of coiled metal
wire has been quite generally adopted
in the Italian navy. The practice is to
serve the tubes with one or two layers
of wire wound under tension. The
method is not considered applicable to
other than straight tubes. The wire is
of sufficient strength to carry the full
load of steam, and the tension used in
winding is about II tons per square inch.
The wireis put on in two or three indie
pendent spirals, and the ends of each
are Independently fastened to the flanges.

BRINGING IT HOME,
A Mountain Preachers Quaint uIustr,

A Mountain Preachers Quaint Illustration
to Young Men.
From the American Missionary for January
Like many other people these mountaineers
like illustrations drawn from the things with
which they are familiar.
A group Of young men were assembled near
where there had been preaching one Sunday
when the following dialogue occurred:
''See here, John, why didn't We bring up my
rife when ye come to preaching?"
"Well, Sam, lowed 'twarn't right to bring
it up on Sunday. mought see warmth on
the road and git shootin' OF you mought git a
shootin' and forgit it was Sunday"
Huh! there's no use bein' so awfully par
ticular as all that. think it's all right to do
little turns of Sunday, even a little shootip'
won't hurt if We happen to see game"
The discussion was Joined In on either eide
by those around, and it was finally decided to
leave 1t to the preacher. He was called and the
case stated.
Look yer, boys" said he. "S'posen man
comes along here with seven handsome pray
bosses, ridin' one and the others follerin'.
You all like pretty beast and you look em all
over. You can't zee that one is better than an.
other, they are all as pretty critters as ever
were seen among these mountains, though there
will be differences in HOSES, boys; when you
come to know EN- no two ia alike. Well, that
man says, Here, boys, I'll jest give We six Of
these beasts for your own. and he gifts on the
other and rides of. Is'pose, now. you d mount
yer hosses and ride after him and make him
give ye the other boss, or at least make him let
ye keep 1t till yer craps was all in"
"No, We amt SO ornary mean as all that.
preacher
well, tharl can't ye let the Lords day
alone?"

FROM tne chicago plsIatcn
Yesterday morning freight train struck q
street car at Archer avenue and the switch
crossing Of the Chicago and Alton line. Las,
night grip train was struck by a freight train
at the Leavitt street crossing of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railway In neither
instance was there loss of life or considerable
damage done to property.
But few days ago. under precisely similar
circumstances, freight crashed into street
car at the 47th street crossing Of the Fort
Wayne railway, causing one of the worst
wrecks Of the year, and sending thrill Of hor-
ror over the entire country. Yesterdays acct
dents were notable mainly because they were
very similar to the Rock Island catastrophe,
and only by the narrowest Of margins did they
escape a similar ending.
The time to discuss preventable accidents Is
before they occur. not sfterwsrd. Yesterdays
warnings should serve as object lessons. calling
the attention Of the city authorities anew to
the urgent necessity for prompt action in
abating Chicago's embarrassing nuisance.

Meeting Of Legislatures in the Differen
SiafeA.


Meeting of Legislatures in the Different
States.
The republicans Of the PENNSYLVANIA iegis-
lature have nominated Senator Quay, John
Dalzell and John b. Robinson for the United
States Senate and the democrats have nomi-
mated State Senator George R. Ross. Each
house will vote separately for Senator Tuesday
next and on Wednesday in joint session. Quay

The three candidates who first appeared in
the Wisconsin contest still have the field to
themselves. They are Congressman J. L.
Mitchell, who has following of about thirty;
Gen. Edward s. Bragg, who has seventeen
sturdy supporters, and J. H. knight of Ash
land. who claims to have twenty-five votes
pledged. Forty-one votes are necessary for the
caucus nomination.
The joint ballot for United States Senator at
Helena, Mont, yesterday resulted about the
same as Wednesday, the only change being that
Beecher, populist, voted for Melville, Jpulist
instead of for Hauser, democrat
The democrats of the Indiana house and
senate met in joint caucus last night and nomi-
mated Senator Turpie to succeed himself Tur-
pie received 81 votes to for John g. Shanklin.
Cassius Clay is canvassing the Kentucky legis-

has received a letter from Congressman W. c.

senatorial race a candidate.
The Wyoming senatorial fight is being con-
tinued with unabated vigor by the leading
democratic candidates. Chairman News prodi.

HYATTsvILLE, Nd, January 10. 1893
The counsel for the appellees in the single
tax case have fled motion to dismiss the
appeal on the ground that the REALTORS have no
grievance to be corrected by the mandamus
since they have paid their taxes. The anti
single tax men claim that these taxes were paid
under a threat from the town treasurer carry
ing out the orders of the commissioners, to sell
the real and personal property of all delin-
quents after January l.

The quarterly distribution of the public
school tax has been made by the state con-
troller. In this distribution Prince George $
county will receive S2,S93 10 for white and
81 $50. 80 for colored schools. This is falling
of OF over $500 per quarter for white and over
Zoo per quarter for colored schools. and means
a loss to the public school fund of this county
for the year of over s1.500. The cutting down
of the appropriation is owing to a decrease in
the population.
There will bea regular meeting Of the orphans
