Hons, but nobody ever argues against 1t seriously unless wo take the allegation that strong men are never tidy to be a serious argument. It would be one per haps if it were true; but, then, it is not. Great soldiers and sailors are almost in- variably tidy, Frederick of Prussia being rather a conspicuous exception; many great lawyers hayo been neat to fickleness, and tho same may be said of some great men of business. We should say indeed that as many weak men were untidy as strong men, and that of the latter large proportion will be found to be of the dreamy or tho reflective temperament.
 Dreamy people hate tidiness, and the very reflective arc rarely quite tidy, tho reason being the same in both cases-that such persons, besides feeling the inherent dislike of most men to smail recurrent ex- ertions without immediate end are an- noyed by interruptions to the current of thought. They want, as they say to be at peace from tri1es, and as somebody usual ly saves them from the consequences of their ways they remain untidy through life That they gain anything by their untidiness, except possibly some slight re- lief from irritability, is, however, most rash assumption. They rarely save time, TUT Oncy u6Nef Cdu uuu any ybnlDBs bney uO not think moro clearly, for the materials for thought are never ready to hand, and it may be questioned if their habit adds even to their mental peace. Few men are wholly unaware of their own untidiness or escape from periodic impulses to correct it, and what with those intermittent fits which never do any good and their ocoa- sional consciousness of the trouble they give they are probably as much disturbed as the tidy, who indeed in time become blissfully unconscious that they have adopted a feminine habit and in adopting it have materially increased their own readiness for action. It is quite possible even for Chinamen to divide cartridges into those which will fit the rifles and those which will not and to keep them in separate heaps, and it is questionable whether the pleasures of untidiness in their case is not outweighted by the pains consequent on defeat, flight, dis grace or death by disemboweling.

Stevenson's First Hit.

Stevenson didn't strike the world real. ly telling blow until, after years of gloomy experiences with publishers, he came upon the idea in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. ," The idea upon which this wonderfully told and wonderfully constructed tale is framed had existed dimly in Stevenson's mind for many years. He had tried to for mulate it many times, but without results such as would satisfy him. He had about given up tho idea of being able toproduce a story which should suggest the idea of Q dual nature in man when one night, sit- ting by his fire in an old fashioned inn, with the storm fercoly raging outside, there flashed into his mind, as by inspira- tion, the true method of handling the story. In Q few days the story was written and ready for publication. n.-Westminster Budget.

FACING A HUNGRY LYNX.
California Engineer Has an Exciting
 Encounter In a Mill.

~A@0O%A@HN@
 The engineer of flour mill at San Quentin, Lower California, heard low, rasping pur while at work in his engine room ono day, and, upon looking toward the door, saw an unusually largo lynx staring him in the face. The beast was gaunt with hunger, and it's condition had evidently made it brave, for it appeared fierce and in no hurry to turn back. The engineer would have turned back himself, but tho -only means of exit was occupied by his visitor.
 The engineer saw that no other weapon than brick was at hand. Before he could reach for the missile the lynx sprang into the room, uttering growl. Before tho huge cat could make spring that was in- tended tho brick went whizzing through tho air and landed between it's eyes. The blow dazed it, but notwithstanding this the maddened brute sprang toward tho man in a way that caused the latter to bunt over barrel of water in his haste to escape. Part of the water fell over the lynx, and this appeared to have 0 moro depressing effect on the animal than the brick had. It stopped a moment in its rush, and the engineer, still unable to get out of tho door, took out his jackknife and stood ready to use it.
 It was wise move on his part, for tho cat sprang at him and was about to use its claws when the man stabbed 1t in the body. The blow was accurately placed, fortunately, and the lynx fell without a whimper The man stabbed the animal a dozen times after that until he was sure it was dead.
 The lynx was fine specimen, and had it not been reduced in strength by hunger could easily have whipped a man armed with anything less than gun.-San Fran cisco Examiner.

Matchmaking Tn New Mexico.

In the old Spanish days in the southwest marriage was matter in which tho contracting parties had little to say, the question of choice and fitness being settled by the parents of the couple. That practice has fallen so much out of date in the present. generation that it sounds odd to read now in a published account of a recent marriage at Guadalupita, N. M., in which Mexican of 68 years welded a senorita of 16 years that the compensa- tion he was called upon to make for the difference in their respective ages was set tied at 30 varas of land, an adobe house and five apple trees, presumably paid to her parents.-New York Sun.

First Letter Carriers.

It is not clear that the letter carriers were regularly employed before 1753, when tradition tells us that Benjaminl Franklin, the new postmaster general, em-d ployed them in Philadelphia and possibly in New York. The earliest evidence r have is of 1762 when the Philadelphia postmaster advertised that his boy" had run away, and that patrons must call for their letters at the postoffice. The Postal Journal of Hugh Finlay, storehouso of sound information, tells us that Boston had no letter carrier in 1773. Of New York he says that "soon after the arrival

recommends that the agreement
entered into by her and her hus-
band at the time of their separation
by which he agreed to pay her 500
a week for life, be continued,
Corbett and his wife separated
nearly eight months ago, when a
deed OF separation was signed, he
agreeing to pay her 500 a week for
alimony, About six weeks ago
Mrs. Corbett filed suit for divorce,
alleging in6delity as a ground.
Corbett did not defend the suit, and
only the testimony on Mrs. Corbett's
side was heard by the referee,
Mrs. Corbett before her marriage
with the champion was Miss Ollie
Lake, Her father was prominent
in San Francisco when Corbe tt was
a bank clerk, and y long time be-
fore he began to dream of cham

parents of the young lady objected
to the match, and so the couple
ran away and got married. They
lived together until about year
ago, when Mrs. Corbett returned

al months past, in order to supply
the loan OF 200, 600 taels to Chi
ma The purchases have been SC
large at times that the price has
gone up, and it has had to sell OF
its accumulated silver to depress
the market to its own figures.
1t is impossible, of course, to tell
how much has been bought in Mex
leo, South America and Australia,
which stand second, third and
fourth to this country in the pro.
duction of the metal. But as the
weekly exports from this country
recently have been between 500, O,OOC
