General Grant In Japanese Eyes.

In The Century is printed transla-
ton of portions of quaint Japanese
life Of General Grant. The following is
an extract from it:
In the spring of his seventeenth year
he expressed great thought to his
father and addressed him, saying, II
have in my mind the thought that,
When four years from today have passed,
shall not be doing this kind of labor. !"
The father, thinking it strange thing,
said: "Do you hate your fathers heredi-
tary trade? Do you hate to become
leather maker and spend your life thus?
What profession, then, do you expect to
adopt in future? Do you expect to 20
into the fields carrying sickle and a.
hoe? Do you expect to sell and buy
things in the market? Or do you fix
your eyeballs upon books of 10000 vol
umes, and desire to speculate reasons
and promote moralities, and become
man Of wide knowledge?" Guarando
Kuen, replying to these questions, said: :
ITO cultivate the field and become a
farmer is we'll, but to spend the whole
life as hireling is not we'll. To take a
soroban Counting machine) and become
a merchant and gain profit is we'll, but
along with it to make bad practice is
not my desire. Contrary to all this, our
ancestors, in the war Of independence
OF this country, sowed great merit,
hear. 1 also, entering a military school,
will have to show my arm in the time
OF great things. Oh, Father Kuen, how
is it?" The father, being exceedingly
glad, did as he wished.

ALBERT EDWARDS EXPENSIVE JOKE,
How He Smashed the Crockery and Fur

How he Smashed the Crockery and Fur
niture Of an Elderly Countess.
Albert Edward, prince of Wales, is
perhaps the most popular man in Eng
land. This popularity is due to his love
OF sports and all manly traits which are
particularly commendable in the eyes of
the. average Britisher. As a youth his
audacity and appreciation of a Joke,

One Of his early escapades resulted in

broken erockery and wrecked furniture

The countess had just finished her
breakfast, and pushing her chair back
from the table instructed the servant to
bring before her the applicant. The
prince was thereupon ushered into the
room. The countess looked him over
from his feet up.
Apparently pleased with the appear

Albert Edward did as commanded
and walked backward and forward sew

OF the room to the other, now walking
briskly at the request of the old LADY,
and then pacing slowly, as she wished
to obtain points on this score.
This performance over, the countess
ordered him to trot. The dining room

trotted around it several times. When
this exercise was completed, he again
came to a standstill near the head of the

Her ladysh.p seemed pleased and was
just on the point of asking the young
man some questions about himself when

"Now see me gallop!'
Grasping a corner Of the tablecloth
firmly in one hand, the prince rushed
around the room, pulling the crockery
off on the floor in heap, knocking over
the furniture and finally winding her
ladyship up in the folds of the cloth.
He then bolted for the door, leaving the
countess suffering and shouting and
the servants running about in distract

Humming Birds and Flowers

It has long been known that insects
assist plants by carrying the fertilizing
pollen from flower to flower, but the
fact has only recently been prominently
brought forward that humming birds
are just as effective distributors of pol
len as insects are.
It has been shown that these little
birds, which are as fond as bees of the
honey Of flowers, carry the pollen grains
in great quantity, not only on their
feathers, but on their long bills also. In
deed, so we'll suited is the humming
bird to do this work of distribution,
without any intention Of it's own, that
the question has been raised whether it
may not be the most benefcent of all
the unconscious friends that the flowers
have in the animal world. Youths

very amusing. All observant country

ton in half an hour than many of the
writers who are accepted as authority.
Two examples Of the fallacies of the
latter have been going the rounds One
was an article Oh the cricket, which
was described as very dainty insect
with delicate appetite. There is in
reality but one that is more voracious,
and that is the cOckroach. The cricket

especially farinaceous matter, and it is
very destructive to clothing. A house.

and the writer remembers once visiting
in a house where the walls had been
ceiled and papered. The paper hung
loose here and there, due to the crickets
that gnawed through to get at the paste
that had been used by the paper hangers.
Another story was Of the marvellous
self control of man who discovered
that black snake had concealed itself
in the pocket Of his coat, which he had
thrown aside in the field and donned
again, very stupidity, without discover
ing the reptile. This Of itself was sur
prising, as it is generally from four to
five feet in length and and weighs sew

the toad, and, moreover, is extremely
cowardly. It's greatest fault is it's de-

How the Author Treated q Publisher Who
Did Not Know Him.
The following characteristic little
story Of that eccentric genius, Count Leo
Tolstol, is communicated to our Odessa
correspondent by a Moscow journalist
After completing one Of his recent short
works the count went in search of new
publisher. He appeared one forenoon i'm
the publishing Office of magazine
where he was personally unknown. He
was dressed after the manner of better
class mauzhik, and the chief Of the es-
Establishment, probably given to Judging
from appearances, was not over polite or
patient in listening to the counts re-
quest to have his sketch published, at
the same time taking the manuscript
from his pocket.
"Oh," said the publisher, II really
cannot be bothered. It is no use my look
ing at your sketch. We have hundreds
r OF such things in hand and have really
no time to deal with yours, even though
you were in a position to guarantee the
cost, which I very much Doubt
Tolstoi slowly rolled up his manu-
script, and replacing it in his pocket OBJ
served:
II must be laboring under some mis-
apprehension. have been told that the
public likes to read what write''
1.-The public likes to read what you
write!' exclaimed the publisher, closely
scrutinizing him. "Who are you? What
is your name?"
MY name is Leo Tolstoi''
The astonished and abashed publisher
was instantly Oh the other side Of the
counter, expressing the most profuse
apologies and entreating the count to do
him the distinguished honor of permit
ting him to publish the sketch. Tolstoi
quietly buttoned up his coat with the
manuscript in his breast pocket, saying:
"You have no time, you say, having so
many hundreds Of these things in hand
[ must find publisher who has time,
and one who will not require guaran-
tee. Dasvidanya'' And the count walk
ed off in his usual nonchalant manner

Unfair DISCRIMINATION.

''It's rank injustice, so it is, " said
Nero mournfully.
"What's the matter?" inquired Fido.
'I've been thinking Of the way the
public makes US wear tags"
'"They're afraid that if we get around
having our own way we'll kill some
body"
"That's just where the unfairness
comes in. Why don't they make the
trolley cars wear tags?"- Washington

Voluminous.

A Philadelphia lawyer said very
bright thing the other day. He was
seated with a group of friends, and they
were discussing in desultory way the
leading topics Of the day. One of the
parties present, Mr.. --, persisted in
monopolizing more than his share of
the conversation, and his views did not
at all accord with those Of the lawyer.

THE POET AND HIS HEIR.
He stood upon the bridge of signs,
Fast by the vale of tears.
And with prophetic vision scanned


Fast by the vale of tears.
And with prophetic vision scanned
The swift approaching years.
Then up the heights of fame he climbed,
And from that corpse strewn place
He-with the light of other days
Looked full in natures face.
Upon the sands of time he walked,
With footsteps quick and light,
And with a wreath Of glory crowned
The moody brow Of night.
From dizzy heights in fancy's land
The poet was called down.
His wife with him had left the heir,
For she had gone to town.
The infant yelled. The poet mourned
AS he paced through the room,
And, like Spartan, welcomed he
The dreaded crack Of doom.

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture OF DR.. Wards Liniment For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established a living,
paying business, and made the name CDR. Ward's'
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found SO lost to every principle of right and
justice as to undertake to despoi him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be Dr.. Wards or
"iust as good as DR.. Ward's," frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi-
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. 5. Patent Office
No. 1856.

Death of Mrs. Logan.

Died, at Benson, Arizona, Aug. 18th, 1895 Mrs. Bettie Logan, beloved wife of D. II. Logan, aged 3i years, 6 months and l2 days.
 Deceased was married to Mr. D. II. Logan, who was one of the pioneers of Benson, at that place in January, 1882. They resided at Henson until some three years ago, when the failing health of Mrs. Logan caused their re- moval to California. Her health had been undermined by repeated at Jacks of "the grip and pneumonia and in February last consumption superyened. Hoping a return to Ari- zona would benefit health and prolong her life Mir Logan brought her back to Benson last spring. Everything possible was done to alleviate her suileribgs and prolong her life, but all without avail, and she peacefully passed away, leaving bereft fond husband and three lovely children. Reside these her immediate relatives are father and two brothers at Ben son, and four sisters and a brother in Fl Paso, Texas.
 Her funeral was largely attended by all the old residents of Benson, and many friends and acquaintances, whose heartfelt sympathies were thus eyinced for the sorrowing ones who mourned the loss of model wife and mother, an atfectionate friend, a good neighbor.

Several days were lost, but at last accounts everything was fixed and the mill had started.
 At Tucson. a few days since, Mir. F. l..

The pulsations were both full and strong. Even when the yalyular DOT tions were separated from the beast the muscles still continued to open and close in that organ. This fact was witnessed by number of Tucson citi- zens who can testify to the truthful ness os this statement
