WEALTH CANNOT BUY THEM.
Mrs. Lynn Linton Enumerates a Few {
L

Mrs. Lynn Linton Enumerates Few of
Life's UnpurchasabIes.
When Mrs. Lynn Linton forgets to be
original and radical, she is capable Of
saying some fairly pleasant things. The
idea that many things of value cannot
be bought, and that those things which
can be bought are only of secondary i'm
portance in the world, is not strikingly
new. Two or three people had hit upon
it before Mrs. Linton. But what she
says about the unpurchasable things is
not the less interesting and timely be-
cause they have been said ever since the
deluge
There is happiness, she tells us, that
gold may not buy. when the woman
you love deceives you, and the portrait
gem clasped' worn over her heart shows
another face than yours-when the hus-
band you were unconventional enough
to love in the fearless old fashion lies
dead in your arms, and your whole fu-
ture is darkened and storm riven-when
your son has disgraced his name and
by his own lack of honor has slandered
and cast doubt on his mothers do your
Claudes and Turner's, your Limoges en-
amels and old Venetian glass ease the
smart? Does your splendid collection of
first editions in their perfect bindings
dry the tears which come to mems eyes
as we'll as to women's, when the bitter
ness is full and by its very fullness per-
force wells over? What do your fields
and farms, your balance at the bankers,
your carriages and horses do for you
when your favorite daughter runs off
with the groom, and her sister browns
herself in despair? Mol Happiness is
not to be bought"
Then there are love and honor and
youth that the gold of the Indies will
not purchase. And in these days when
creams and lotions, dietings and exercises
claim to put off the evil hour of age
it is well to read what this very level
headed woman says about youth.
"You may buy fashion cosmetics" she
says, "artful enhancements, subtle dyes
that look almost as good as the real
\ thing, but you cannot buy youth nor
beauty. In spite of all your care, and
though you give 10 shillings for the val
ne of penny, you cannot put back the
hands of the clock nor blunt the scythe
of time.
"That enamel is cleverly done; that
dyed, frizzed hair is veritable work of
art; those painted cheeks simulate the
carnations of youth more creditably
| than in 80 of your competitors, but-the
cruel fact remains acknowledgements
cannot be purchased and old age cannot
be bought off. The poor old shriveled
skin gradually grows more and more
like parchment. The fading eyes lose
their brightness, and not belladonna it
self can bring back that dark line around
the iris which age and weakened vitali-
ty replace by that all eloquent ARGUS
senilis. :"
None of it is very new. 1t is not nearly
so striking as her views on the wild
woman" but still it is good to recall a
few of these interesting facts in these
days of dancing grandmammas and eli
gible bachelors of 60 or so.-New York

How Labor Is DECEIVED.

In a pretended effort to discover the
cause of the great political flop the
Democratic press has sought opinion
only where it was made patch for the
public eye and has carefully avoided
the direction where it is daily exhibit
ed. In fact, they tried hard not to find
1t. For instance, the New York World
requested the opinion of Mr.. W. G.
Whitney and other lights of tariff reform
and free trade proclivities, but The
World has studiously avoided the hard
listed son of toll, whose changed condi-
ton has made him close observer of
the causes which have led to it. Mr..
Whitney may be an author on social
etiquette, good living and other things
pertaining to men of his class; but, while
Mr.. Whitney and such as he are only
troubled with the difficulty of finding
way to spend and enjoy their surplus
wealth, the misguided workman, robbed
of employment and unused to the DEM
ocratic blessings of want and starvation
has done some very hard thinking.
He has thought of the weekly income
that he and his children were accustom
ed to bring home from the protected fac
tory before England and her Democratic
ally had succeeded in obtaining YER
dict against what they called the rob
Der tariff. :" He thought of the deathly
chill which crept into the factory after
the election in 1892. Like the atmos-
phere before a storm, business stood
still COLLECTIONS became difficult and
sales impossible. To save invested cap
ital production had to be limited labor
was unemployed and wages reduced,
as the result of the promises made be-
fore election by the free trade robbers
who framed the platform and the pol
icy for the Democratic party, which
platform does not affect Mr.. Whitney
and his kind, but which has seriously
affected the workingman.

In dell in the forest we espied some
mavericks, or unbranded stock. The
punchers are ever alert for a beef with
out half its ears gone and a big HF
burned in its flank, and Immediately
they perceive one they tighten their
cincha, slip the rope from the pommel,
put their hats ON the back of their heads
and Eight out" A COW was soon caught,
after desperate riding over rocks and
fallen timber, thrown down and hog
tied" which means all four feet togeth-
er. A little fire is built, and one side of
cincha ring is heated redhot, with
which rawhide artist paints HF in the
sizzling flesh, while the COW kicks and
bawls.
She is then unbound, and when she
gets back on her feet the vaqueros stand
about, serape in hand, after the bull
fighter fashion, and provoke her to
charge. She charges, while they avoid
her by agile springs and a Haunting of
their rags. They laugh and cry, Bravo
toror' until she, having overcome her in
dignation at their rudeness, sets forth
down the canyon with her tail in the air.
From ''In the Sierra Madre With the
Punchers," by Frederic Remington, in
Harpers Magazine.

FISHING FOR FLYING FISH.
An Interesting Operation Which Requires
Gentleness and Absolute silence.


An Interesting Operation Which Requires
Gentleness and Absolute Silence.
Barbados, situated in the heart of the
northeast trades, is one of the favorite
haunts of the flying fish. Its steep shore
lines afford the blue depths which the
fiying fish loves and permit it to range
very near to land Thus the fishermen
rarely 90 more than l 0 or IL miles from
home. When this industry was first
commenced by the Barbadians, or what
led to its establishment, ! have been un-
able to discover, but it certainly has
been for many years the mainstay OF
large part of the population and the
source whence the most popular food
known ON the island is derived. There
are about 200 boats engaged in the fish
cry. They are painted light blue, as
nearly approaching the hue of the sea
as may be, and every care is taken to
make them noiseless.
The fleet leaves the "canash' (harbor)
before daybreak, each skipper taking
his own bearings and making for the
spot which he thinks will furnish the
best results. As the gorgeous tropical
dawn awakes the boats peaks are droop-
ed, tufts Of sails are hauled up, and
the fishermen get to business. The
tackle used is of the simplest kind A
wooden hoop feet in diameter, to
which is attached shallow net with
inch meshes bucketful of-well, not to
put too fine point on shrinking fish,
a few good lines and hooks and set of
grains form the complete layout. The
fishermen are of all shades, from a deep
rich ebony up by fine gradations to the
cadaverous white so common on the is
land. Their simple fishing costume is
usually one sole garment-the humble
-four or potato sack of commerce, with
holes cut in the bottom and sides,
through which to thrust head and arms.
AS soon as the boat is hove TO and her
way stopped the usual exuberant spirits
and hilarious laughter are put and kept
under strong restraint, for single
sound will often scare away all tish III
the vicinity, and no more be seen that
day. The fisherman leans far over the

The greatest cities of ancient times
were Babylon and Rome. The former
is said to have had an area of 100 to 200
square miles. Its houses were three or
four stories high, but palaces and gar
dens occupied much of the vast area, SO
that the population was not what these
figures would seem to indicate. In fact,
it is said by one historian that nine
tenths Of this area were taken up by gar
dens and orchards. The total popula-
ton Of the city under ACKNOWLEDGMENT

at upward of 100000 Rome reached
its greatest size during the fourth cen
fury of our era, and its population was
then about 9, 500, 900. w estern Mail.

The Authors Trade.

o." otherwise Mr.. CUTLER Couch,
loves the authors trade. my calling
ties me to no Office stool, he writes,
makes me no mans slave, compels
me to no action that my soul condemns.
1t sets me free from town life, which l
loathe, and allows me to breathe clean
air, to exercise limbs as well as brain,
to tread good turf and wake up every
morning to the sound and smell of the
sea and that wide prospect which to my
eyes is the dearest on earth. All happi-
ness must be purchased with a price,
though people seldom recognize this,
and part of the price is that living
thus man can never amass fortune.
But as it is extremely unlikely that l
could have done this in any other pur-
suit | may claim that [ have the better
of the bargain. %" says that his
desire to tell story was awakened by
the reading of Stevenson 8 Treasure

YES, failed you say.

Twas noble fight he fought and we'll
With courage held high and brow clear,
No skulking idly in the rear,
And if vanquished 'twere fighting fighting
he fell.
No failure, say.
And look you. What call you success?
The poor plaudits of some few men?
A palace reared from the cold
A red heap of this earth dug gold?
A cathedral crypt? And then Well, what

Why, only a guess
And say again; Count you the cost

What are its bulwarks piled high-these
You cross to your City of Ease?
Mani tell you It's built on the failed
The fighters who lost.
And he-scorn or pity as you will
Twas in fording that stream he fell.
For freedom, for man, for the right
Was his cry in the heat of the fight,
And for these and for you, rang his knell,
Then failed, say you still?
Dry shod reach your promised land now
On his failure-on those the world rallied
They, the stuff of whom heroes are,
Who saw its light CLEAN from valleys afar
And fought for it-died for it-failed.
No failure, VOW.

The people of Burmah believe that the
ruby is kind of fruit which will ripen
if you give it time. They say that most
rubies do not ripen simply because they
are not allowed to do so. If you want to
''ripen" the ruby in your ring, according
to the Burmese idea, you must take your
ring and lay it in the sun for one month
without disturbing it at all, and at the
end Of that time it will be "ripe" and
good to eat,-New York Journal
