References No Good.

"We never take them. When a note is
due we just crack ahead and bring suit.
Then the man must pay costs besides.
That is the way We get our living. We
rarely ever counsel extensions. Nine
cases out of ten, if a man wants four OF
five days and gets it he'll never pay al
all, and the advantage arising from inn
mediate suit is lost. All a notary has to
do in case of a note is to call at a mans
residence or place of business. He
doesn't have to present the note for pay
ment. If the man isn't there a suit
a be begun at once without further
notice. 1t is a legal refusal to pay if the
man isn't there to receive the notary.
That is the way we do business. Our
business is to get the money for our
clients. The creditor must look out for
himself. wouldn't give the snap of my

The interview took place at the home
of the inventor, and his daughter, q

an adjoining room, where she overheard
all that was said.
Although she listened intently she did
not understand all the details of the

by the fact hat the next day she CON

inveighed against the necessity for
work.

Besides you have been everywhere and
seen everything, and if you had five

Sunshine.

Light is necessary to health. People
who live in gloomy places, say state
prisons, for example, are always peakish.
Owls affect the twilight and the dark,
and what miserable mopes they are.
Eagles love the sunshine, and how strong
of wing they are and how ~exultingly
they soar. 1t is true that n may have
too much sun, but it is cheering to see
the sunlight, even when it is necessary
to sit in the shade. How it enlivens US
in winter, exhilarates us in spring, en-
hances our appreciation of the shade in
summer and charms US in glorious au-
tumn.
In September, when Old Sol seems to
have stolen a few pale rays from the
moon wherewith to temper his fiery
glories, and all through gorgeous Oct
ober nay, even in November, and
sometimes up to mid-December, and
often in windy March-how delightful is
the sunshine Of our happy latitude.
A blessing on the sun! "Of this great
world both eye and SOUL" source of life
and health and beauty, type of the light
that shall be, symbol of the smile Of

Transportation from raaama IN 1s.,.

~~ - AO@~s
We paid our money and went on board
the vessel, which was anchored about
three miles from shore. We found a
promscuous crowd from every nation
under heaven, the predominating type
being that Of the American rough. The
deck was so densely packed with men
from stem to stern that we could scarce
ly move. Many were PROSTATE with
sickness, or supported by friends, or
lying IN hammocks swung along the
side rigging. All day long this crowd
of men were seethipg, swaying, quar-
reling and cursfng. No food was pro-
vided, and hunger and thirst gave an
edge to the bad passions of the mob.
The captain, a United States naval
officer, had not assumed command be-
cause he was shut off from his men by
the chaotic crowd. At length, toward
evening, he stood on the quarter deck
and shouted above the angry mutters
and jargon of the crowd that the deck
must be cleared for his men SO that they
could raise the anchor. | had conferred
with a few Of the more respectable look
ing passengers, and we had concluded
that there were more men on board than
our contract stipulated for, so we replied
to the captain that the anchor could not
be raised until we had had a count.
The effort to get the men IN order and
to set them in motion so that they could
pass around in line required two or three
hours, but was at last accomplished, and
Yhe result showed 40 persons on board
besides the sailors. This attempt Of the
consignee to increase his enormous profits
dishonesty at the risk and discomfort Of
the passengers excited a torrent Of indig-
nation. Inflammatory speeches were
made, and a committee was appointed
to visit the consignee and adjust the
matter. About 100 Ee left for the
shore in boats that the natives had in
waiting about the vessel, and those who
remained agreed to keep the ship at an
choir until they should return.-John G.

4 Queer Whim.

An English nobleman a good many
many years ago took it into his head
to live for several weeks on Mount Etna
in the refuge 1000 feet or so below the
crater. This worthy, but slightly crack
ed, gentleman endured his hard fare OF
biscuits and timed meats well enough
for a fortnight at a time. Every if
teenth day, however, he rode down the
mountain to the nearest village, some
twenty miles away, and reveled in all
the savory dishes the innkeeper could
put before him; after which banquet he
returned to his mountain perch, Injured
