DISAPPOINTED. AMBITIONS.

About fifty years ago young lad
working on a Pennsylvania farm de-
clared his intention of writing an
oratorio, He had a passionate love
Of music and his hope was to leave
to the world the score of a great
composition, which it would treas
ure us it does the works of Handel
or Beethoven
The necessity Of earning his live
lihood forced him to postpone this
important work from year to yearS
but in the meantime the necessity
Of expressing himself in music drew
from him many negro melodies and
simple songs
They breathed with infinite pa
thos and homely affection, the sor-
rows and hopes of everyday life,
The whole nation caught them and
sang them, they spread to England
over the continent,
Stephen Foster is dead, and the
great oratorio was never written,
but "The Old Folks at Home,
Garry Me Back to Ole Virginny," "
and others of his songs have gone
into the depths of countless hearts,
stirring the sympathy and feeling
that sweetens life and helps to
make men better
Old Father Dinsmore, an timer
ant Baptist missionary in the south
before the war, said once 81 hop
cd when ] was a boy to become a
great pulpit orator like WhiteGeld,
but by the time ] visit and talk To
half a dozen poor whites or black
slaves and pray with them, there's

ONLY HALF ExCAvATED YET.
The Ancient Pompeiians Had Many
Appliances Of Modern Life.

| learn that only about one half
of Pompeii has thus far been excav-
ated, and that the present rate of
progress it will require at least 60
years longer to unearth the whole.
Only about Sc, 600 or $4,000 a year
is expended on the work.
The streets of Pompeii are seldom
more than "a feet wide, mostly
straight from end to end. Indeed,
this ancient town is quite Ameri-
can in the regularity of its
plan.
Curiously enough, the Pompeiian
public fountains were fed from lead
pipes which might worry a modern
manufacturer to reproduce. More
over, the houses received their lib
eral.supply of water through pipes
of the same metal. | saw many
"cut-offs" constructed on thorough
ly modern principles, Another
point that surprised me was that
the major part of the houses were
brick very similar to that in use to-
day; the bricks themselves are long
er and thicker. The well preserved
stairways led from the ground floors
to the second and possibly the third
stories. The corners and pillars
are commonly of carved stone, The
Pompeiian shopkeepers understood
the art of signs quite as we'll as we
do. Above an apothecary's door,
for instance, is a pair of huge snake
twisted into innumerable coils; and
the colors are as fresh as when first
painted. Shops are to be lseen
everywhere, and show that much
business was transacted in Pompeii.
There were no windows on the
streets, the life being concentrated
in the interiors Of their houses; and
they often presented to the street
a blank wall, which was decorated
with CAV colors, principally red and
yellow, with paintings and frescoes,

years in embroidering a magnificent
gold drapery for the church altar,
which is laid away in locked case
and used only twice a year. The
others make coarse garments for
the poor from day to day.
Most of us, perhaps, begin life
hoping to accomplish some great
work and find at the end that we
have spent it in little homely tasks
that have filled each passing day.
Yet when all is summed up is not
the world as much helped by the
CHEEKY songs and kindly words and
warm clothes given every day as by
the grnat oratorio, or sermon, or

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Of all public questions free silver
coinage for this country, independ-
ent of all other nations, is upper
most in the minds of the people.
Cleveland, Carlisle and all the gold
bugs Of the East can not and will
not stem the tide that is constantly
growing larger and larger for more
"hard money" of final redemption,
They may talk Of "sound money"
"repudiation" and attempt to scare
the people in continuing gold as the
standard of value, but it will not
work.
If the extremely honest (2) advo-
Gates of the theory Of money on a
gold basis will be satisfied with it, we
would be willing to let all past con-
tracts and debts stand upon this
basis, and make free silver only APP
ply to new debts and contracts.
They surely could not object to take
this slight compromise, which
knocks out their liquidation" cry.
1t is clear we have not enough
redemption money in this country,
and gold is too dear to base every
thing upon it. Let us look into the
matter a little How much gold is
there in the world, and how much
of it circulates among the people2
The governing committee of the
Bank of France and the Bank OF
England estimate the amount OF
gold coin in the world at $3, 900, ,OO0,-
900. 1t is estimated that the
Bleichroders of Berlin, the Roths-
childs of Berlin, Hamburg and Paris
the Bank of England and the Bank
OF France and the other bankers
Of London and New York control
SO, 600, 900, 600 of this total of 49,
500, 100000 In other words these
banks and bankers have a corner
on the gold money of the world,
BY basing the issue of credit cur
rency on gold, the supply of which
is thus controlled, the bankers can
initiate or contract the currency and
corner the money market at will,
AS a contemporary says; "The
real fight Is not for silver coinage
alone, but for hard money, with
paper currency representing gold
and silver dollars and both coin and
paper controlled by the govern
ment." In this way our circulating
medium can easily be doubled or
thribbled and nobody will be "forc-
ed to cart silver around" as the
goldbugs predict. With plenty of
real money of final redemption,
prosperity will prevail, and the
money sharks and corporations will
cease to rob the people at will--al
will enjoy The fruits Of their labor
alike

His Recora Is Wonderful.

travelling so extraordinary as to put all

several hundred miles below San
Diego" says Mr.. Anthony. "A band
of renegade Indians held up the camp,
stealing all portable property 1t was
desirable to get message to the near
est governor, 200 miles away, for
assistance to chase the outlaws. One
runner, Jose, mission Indian, six
feet two inches tall, weighing about
$50 pounds, all muscle and bone, was
given the dispatch and urged to make
haste over the rugged and some
times mountainous road to the COVER
nor. He made haste. According to
the official records now in the Mexican
archives our message asking for help
was delivered in just twenty-four
hours after Jose left us Such record
of geo miles afoot in twenty-four hours
is, | believe, unprecedented. This
courier or runner travelled 90 to 1875
miles daily on foot as regular bust

carry two sacks of ore, weighing $50
pounds each, to the ore dumps. When
running he was clad simply in over

SOME USES FOR CHEESE.
All Sorts of Relises of Which 1t Is an

Cheese is SO much in demand this
winter that it is nice to know how to
keep variety in the house at small
expense. Buy an Edam and large
pineapple, either of which will keep
for long time if necessary. Then
buy pot of Roquefort and tumbler
at club house cheese, keeping these in
a cool, dry place until needed.
dinner menu may be COM
pleted by water crackers and Rogue
fort for dessert. delicious dainty
for an afternoon tea is the popular
macaroon spread with thinly sliced
age cheese as a sandwich. Cheese
crusts are nice for an impromptu com
pany luncheon. They are made from
half slices of stale bread, after
trimming off the hard crust. Upon
these oblongs of bread put table
spoon of grated cheese and brown
slightly in the oven. These may be
served hot or cold. Good English
cheese is used for Welsh rabbit. There
are many who like bit of cream
cheese with French biscuit for break
fast. Neufchatel and water crackers
generally follow the pudding course of
an elaborate home dinner menu.
Cheese of some description is an i'm
portant item of the Dutch supper,
which is so common this winter after
the the theater or at card parties. In
deed, the matron who likes to be able
to offer her casual afternoon or even
ing visitor some simple refreshment
pays as much attention this season to |
her supply of cheese as to that of |
crackers or tea. Brooklyn Eagle.

For the Sake of Dearly Loved Daughter.
To the late M. Duruy, the French
historian, are due many of the privi-
leges France has given to women. He
decided that women who could pass
successful examinations in medicine
had as good right as men to become
doctors; he instructed professors of the
College of Medicine to encourage
women students; he licensed public
classes for women who wished to re-
ceive as good an education as their
brothers, thus starting the movement
for lycees for young girls that are
being organized throughout France,
and he had the Sorbonne classes opened
to women. He also sat to a woman,
Miss Nellie JacGuemart, for his por-
trait, which afterward won place of
honor in the salon. The moving
spring of his action in all this was the
love he had felt Cor his dead daughter
and to pay tribute to her memory.
