The Road to Fol tune.

Civility IS a fortune in itself, for
courteous man often succeeds N life,
and that even when persons Of abil.
ity fail The history o. our OWL
country is full Of examples Of success
obtained by civility. The experience
of every man furnishes, if re but re-
call the past frequent instances
where conciliatory manners have
made the fortunes Of physicians, law.
yers, diyines, politicians, merchants.
and indeed individuals Of all pursuits.
In being introduced to stranger, his
atfability or the reverse creates in.
simultaneously a proposition in his
favor, or awakens unconscious!y
prejudice against him. To men, civ.
ilty is, in fact, what pleasing ap-
pearance is to women; it is general
passport to fayor-a letter Of recon-
mendation written in a language
that every person understands The
best of men have often injured Them
selves by irritability and consequent
rudeness; whereas men Of inferior
abilities have frequently succeeded
by their agreeable and pleasing man
ners. OF two men equal in all other
respects, the courteous one has twice
the advantage, and Oy far the better
chance Of making his way in the
world.

Ball and Stallion in Combaf%<

John Kreutzer owns forty-acre
iarm on the Rockford fork of Brush
Creek, just over the line from this
county, says an Oakland OILY CORES
oondent Of the st. Louis Republic.
The most valuable stock he has on the
iarm is, or rather was, fine Durham
oull and stallion of good breed. He
aas lost them both after the 4ercest
ight that two strong and fierce AMI
nels could wage.
Kreutzer had always turned his bull
ind stallion into the same lot, and
here was apparently the best Of feel
ing between them. One day recently,
however, the bull began frantically ca
rorting around the barnya7d. The
stallion for time looked with appar-
mt CONSERVATION at the queer antics
,f his erstwhile sober friend, and then
be began trotting around after the in
;uriated animal as it ran from one side
If the enclosure to the other. Finally
he bull, after almost exhausting him
self in an effort seemingly to throw
something of, suddenly turned and
made for the stallion. The new tao
tics of the bull took the horse by sur.
prise, and it was only after his flank
had been severely gored that he real
lied the situation, and then began a
battle that would have thrilled the
heart of Spanish bull fighter.
The stallion made no attempt to kick,
but struck viciously with his fore feel
and tore great quivering chunks OF
flesh out of the bull with his teeth.
The terrific roar of the battle brought
Mr.. Kreutzer from on adjoining field,
but he knew it was death to venturein
the yard. At last, after struggling all
over the yard, the bull made one grand
rush, catching a horn in the horses
groin and disembowelling him. The
aoble animal sank to the ground with
groan and expired. The bull stag
gered away short distance and fell.
Mr.. Kreutzer, who had witnessed
the mutual destruction of the best part
of his fortune, now ventured in. The
bull was still living, and, wrapped
closely about one of his hind legs, he
discovered the cause Of all the bloody
battle. It was nothing more nor less
than little blacksnake about two feet
long, which had coiled about the ami
mails leg and caused him such frantic
terror that he completely lost his head.
The snake showed no disposition to
move on, and Mr.. Kreutzer killed it
where it was. The bull was so badly
u 9ounded that he was shot

An Adyenturer Who Thinks There Ar
Fortunes on the New Guiuea Coast
]. McCaulay, tall, bronzed man
with bushy, brown side whiskerS,
and wearing a broad-rimmed, drab'
colored hat, IS at the American EX-
change from New Guinea, says the
San Francisco Examiner. Mr.. Nc.
Caulay is attracting attention, not
only by his striking appearance, Dut
by the singular news which he brings
as we'll as by queer box, the con.
tents of which he discloses when at
tention is called to it. He has pene-
trated regions of New Guinea, during
several years in that country, never
before reached by white men, and has
also sailed along it's shores in places
unvisited by other English-speaking
travellers. The box he has contains
ambergris, and Mr.. McCaulay states
that there was large amount of it
in the places he visited along the
New Guinea coast. He says there
were many sperm whales there from
which the ambergris comes. Lumrs
and chunks Of it are found in the
water and washed ashore, varying in
weight from a few onces to a hun.
dred pounds and more. 1t is very
high, and few pounds of it makes a
very comfortable stake to the finder
when he gets where he can market
it. Mr.. McCaulay is preparing to go
ambergris hunting. He will cruise
along the coast in a whaleboat, with
natives to pull the oars, and collect
what he can and forward it to Sar
Francisco and London.
Il know one man." he said, 'swho

latter which the New Guinea ex-

Early in the month Of March, 1856,
an English carpenter, named Hig.
ginson, went into an alehouse for his
morning draught; there be met fel-

turned on wives. The carpenter
whose name history has not recorded,
lameuted that he had no wife.
Higginson, on the other hand, Ia
mented that he had, and expressed
regret that there was no way, eN.

The carpenter assured Higginson
that there was way-the old Eng

ful for husband to sell his own rib
''No one would be such fool as tt
buy mine" sighed Higginson.
II would do so," the other
promptly replied, 'and think l hat
made a good bargain, too"
The husband, just then in mood
to chafe against domestic restraint,
clenched the bargain on the spot.
Mrs. Higginson was duly claimed BY
her new lord, and went willingly
enough and lived with him as hi
wife.
In a few days, however, Higginsoi
either grew tired of his matchless
home or suspected that he had not
done right and went to the other
carpenters house, demanding his wife
back. Mrs. Higginson strenuously
refused to leave her new lord. IA

A Political Paradise.

The little sub-Alpine principality o.
Lichtenstein, which is separated from
Switzerland by the Rhine, is subject
to the overlordship of the Austrian
Emperor; but it enjoys a degree OF
independence and self-government
which is more Swiss than Austrian.
The inhabitants are free from the
Austrian military conscription, and
they have no military burdens to pay:
They are also freed from all Imperial
taxation. Their local parliament, the
Lichtensteiner Landtag,, meets once q
year, and in the course of week 1t
gets through all the necessary legisla.
tion, and sends it's report to the
prince. This years report, which has
Just been passed by the unanimous
vote of the L.ndtag, exhibits Lichten.
stein as veritable political paradise.
ssThe favorable situation of the fnan.
cos of the Fatherland," says this par
liamentary report, 'trenders it both a
duty and satisfaction to recommend
o considerable lowering of the exist
ing taxes on the soil" The prince
gave his sanction to the project, and a
law was passed which has made the
very small local self-taxation smaller
than ever.-Nev York Dispatcb>

Economy on Locomotives.

It is now generally admitted that
6hatever be the blance between the
advantages Of compound and simple
locomotives, the former require con-
siderably less water than the latter.
Advantage has been taken OF this
fact on a. trunk line where considera-
bic difficulty has been experienced In
keeping the boilers in state Of good
repair. Flues are constantly leaking
and the life of the boilers Oh one di-
vision Of the road in particular Is
very short. owing to excessive incrus-
tations. though they are washed out
after every round trip. On investi-
cation it was found that the trouble
was due largely to the water taken
at a single station. Since careful
tests made with accurate meters and
calculations based on indicator cards
show that the compound engines
work with nearly forty per cent. less
water than simple locomotives, it
has been decided to work the diyi-
sion in question wholly with the
former type. 1t is expected that in
this way 1t will be unnecessary to
use water from the place where the
supply is bad, and 50 avoid it's effects
on the boilers. Should this expecte-
ton be fulfilled the compound prin-
ciple will be the means Of eiectt'g a
saving not only in the amount Of
fuel and water used. but also in the
total cost of boiler repairs, while
owing to the time saved, which is
now spen5 in frequent washing, a
smaller number of engines will be
needed

Cheap Hydrogen.

An engineer in Milan, Italy, has
succeeded in discovering process OF
making hydrogen on large scale and
so cheaply that in producing l,3OO
cubic meters day this gas will cost
only l cent per cubic meter. Con-
sidering the fact that the substance,
the lightest Of all known and very
lnnammaD1e, admits OF complet COM
bustion, emits no smoke while burn
ing, leaves no ashes or other pro-
ducts, gives the most intense heat
obtainable and surpasses in power
the electric light, one may easily COM
prehend the Importance Of this dis
covery if true.

The Plum and Its Uses.

Our plum is the cultivated plum Of
the garden, whose parent is a native
of Asia and Southern Europe, but
which has taken SO kindly to the con-
ditions Of soil aud climate in our newer
world that many of the choicest varie-
ties seem almost spontaneously pro-
duced here, varieties surprising in
beauty and flavor the most noted plum
Of France or England.
The most important form of the
plum in commerce is that of prunes,
rs they are exported from France,
Turkey, and our own California to
every part of the world. The finer
class of prunes passes through very
careful course Of treatment before
being put into the market. The plums
are gathered when just ripe enough to
fall from the trees on being slightly
shaken. They are oil picked by hand,
care being taken not to gather them
until the sun has entirely dried off the
dew. They are then spread in shallow
baskets, and kept in cool dry place
until they become very soft, when
they are shut in q spent oven for
twenty-four hours, then taken out,
carefully turned, and, the oven being
reheated, slightly warmer than before.
returned to it.
The operation is again repeated,
when they are taken out and left to
get quite cold. The next step in the
process is "rounding,' an operation
consisting of turning the stone in the
plum without breaking the skin and
pressing the two ends together be.
tween thumb and finger. Twice more
are they then substituted to heat,
after which they are packed in jars o.
boxes for sale.
In Southern France spirit is OBJ
tsined by iermenting the bruised pulp
and kernels of the plum with honey
