The old boarder, after an experience Of
20 years or more, at last got into place
which seemed to him to be as near the
ideal as he cared about. When he had
been there week, he went one night TO
a religious service, and one of the work
ers approached him.
care you a Christian?" was the first
question.
II hope so,' he replied humbly,
Though 1 don't belong to the church"
"Ah, my friend. there is where you are
wrong"
Possibly I am"
"Don't you feel that you are sinner"
"Well, I'm not perfect, suppose"
"Don't you want to go to heaven?"
The old boarder braced up.
''If you'd asked me that 10 days ago."
he said, 81 should have answered yes
promptly. but now I'm in boarding
house where they don't have stewed
prunes, skimmilk, hash, paralytic coffee,
dried apple pies, soiled napkins, tough
meat, q piano on each floor, gossiping
boarders and a lot more disoomforts, and
Pm afraid to take any risk in leaving it,"
and the worker gave him up as hopeless.

Tinoret, an Italian painter, in a pic
ture of the "Children of Israel" gather
ing mama, has taken the precaution to
arm them with the modern invention of
guns. Cigoli painted the aged Simeon at
the circumcision of the infant Saviour,
and as aged men in these days wear
spectacles the artist has shown his sagac-
ity by placing them on Simeon's nose.
In picture by Verrio of "Christ Heal
ing the Sick" the lockers on are repre-
sented as standing with periwigs on their
heads. To match, or rather exceed,
this ludicrous representation, Durer has
painted "The Expulsion of Adam and
Eve From the Garden of Eden" by an
angel in dress fashionably trimmed
with hounces. The same painter, in his
scene Of "Peter Denying Christ" repre-
sents Roman soldier very comfortably

Beautiful must be the mountains whence ys
come,
And bright in the fruitful valleys the streams
wherefrom
Ye learn your song.
Where are those starry woods? Oh, might
wander there
Among the flowers, which, in that heavenly
air,
Bloom the year long.
May, barren are those mountains and spent
the streams.
Our song is the voice of desire that haunts our
dreams
A throe of the heart.
Whose pining visions dim forbidden hopes pro-
found.
No dying cadence nor long sigh can sound
For all our art.
Alone aloud in the raptured ear of men
We pour our dark nocturnal secret, and then
As night is withdrawn
From these sweet sprnglng meads and burst
ing boughs of May
Dream while the innumerable choir Of day
Welcome the dawn"

Notebooks Not Allowed.

HE was the best surveyor and drafts
man in my employ" said a well known
civil engineer, referring to a man whom
he had just discharged. II discovered a
short time ago that he was keeping a
private notebook, and after notifying
him that he must stopit and again learn
ing that he was continuing the practice
| was obliged to discharge him.
"a surveyor" said he, sin doing a
piece of work makes minutes as he goes
along of the lines he runs, of the various
points marking the bounds of the lands
he is surveying and all such data as is
not only necessary for the drawing of
his plans, but also incidentally that
which may aid him in the case of any
other survey being made later on.
"Ihis data, you see, really constitutes
q sort of capital OF stock in trade, for if
the party owning the land ever wishes
another survey of it for any purpose he
will naturally apply to that same sur
veyor, who, having these old memoran-
da, can do the work easier and more
cheaply than any other surveyor. Often
times, after many years have elapsed
and old landmarks have passed away
those minutes become very valuable.
consequently civil engineer always
wishes to keep these in his own hands,
and men in his employ are not allowed
to make copies of minutes Of survey
which they make while in his employ.
Otherwise an old employee in leaving
and setting up in business for himself
could carry away large slice of his en-
ployer's business. Now York Herald

Another Letter.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 10, 1894.-The
attendance at the midwinter exposition
continues to average between 5000 and
10000 per day, and erybody is CORE
spondingly encouraged in the belief that
this fair will realize the most sanguine
expectation in regard to its financial
succe1s. In proportion to the amount
of money invested, the attendance thus
far has greatly surpassed that accorded
the Columbian exposition during the
fret month of its existence, and at the
same ratio of increase which was no.
ticesble at Chicago there will be an at
tendance at the midwinter exposition
before its close that will eurpass the
fondest dreams of its most enthusiastic
boomers.
The number of eastern visitors to the
exposition is increasing day by day, and
1t 10 with sigh of great relief that they
come out of the SHOWS and billiards. of
the east and middle west, over the
mountains into the midwinter ependor
OF the Pacific coast. 1t has been what
Ia called "hard winter" in California,
but that means only that it has rained
little more than usual, and that the
warm midwinter days have not been 80
continuous as is generally the rule. But
even this weather has been so welcome
to people who are used to being snow
bound In February that they call it
paradise" in comparison. and they
really revel in their experience.

He said he did not wish to have anything
sent out which would infiame the passions
Of the people, and for that reason, and with
a view of securing accurate reports. he
would continue the censorship.
Now, will play editor for you fellows"

I can get as many men as I can furnish

Gov Tillman spoke feelingly Of the dis
banding OF the Governors Guards. The
company is fifty-one years old. he said, and
this Is the first time its members have ever
refused to obey orders.
He says that Capt. Bateman shed tears
over the action Of his company

They will strengthen It," he promptly re-
Piled These continued disturbances have
been brought on by the low-down whisky

issue Is whether the state is to be turned

much Of the credit for having removed the
censorship over press dispatches established
by Gov. Tfllman at Columbia. He tele-
graphed to Gov. Tillnan last night advising
him against this course, and stating that IL
could have none other than a detrimental
effect. Shortly after this message had been
sent, the specials to the Associated Press
began to arrive in the city.
Precautionary Measures.
Governor Tillman. on Saturday, issued a
proclamation, that, whereas, certain per-
sons have assembled in the counties of
Darlington and Florence and are now in
open rebellion against the authority of the
government of this state and 1t has Become
impracticable to enforce by the ordin ary
course Of judicial proceedings the laws of
the state within said counties" such persons
were in open rebellion to the states law.
and were commanded to return to their
homes within twenty-four hours. The "per-
sons" referred to were the citizens of OAR
lington who mad been pursuing the con-
stables who had been engaged in a fight at
that place. Moreover he gave the telegraph
and railroad companies notice that he had
seized formally their property and he put an
embargo on their business
1t after dark, and when Tillman
found that the Western Union Company
was disregarding his orders, he applied
to Judge Watts of the state courts for an
injunction against the company. 1t was
granted at once, and 1t restrained Manager
Gray from accepting messages for trans
initial on the Darlington trouble unless sent
by state authorities.

balmy az day in spring; the
October sun shone warm and undimmed
and there was no wind. Early in the
day the people went Directum mad.
Every move of the black stallion was
cheered. Every betting man seemed to
be fastening to back the favorlte.
Pools sold at s16O to SIS in his favor.
and Alix money did not seem plentiful
just before the race, however. this was
changed, Alix people seemed suddenly
to gain confidence and it was 500
to 500. Alix had the pole
in the first heat, and afterward it was
only a question of how many lengths
she was to lead. Without skip or false
motion she won the heat easilys
In the second heat the grea!
stallion again met defeat. "A sllghti
soreness brought on catastrophe. A
misstep to save the sore foot tore OF the
quarter-boot and Inflicted cut nearly
as large as a half-dollar. After that
Directum's fate in this race was sealed,
and there was nothing to be done but to
