when the hour comes and the horse

One day the fircmcn concluded to

how much he really did know about

They pulled the rope that rings the
bell eleven times and then stopped.
Immediately the horses eyes closed
and his head dropped into the same

some time. The boy soon came out

A Quality Most Desired

Among the qualities most to be de-
! sired IN young giri'B character is a
high sense of honor wish | could
| impress on every reader tie need of
being always above everything petty
or small so that one would not for Il
single moment ever be tempted to do
q mean or underhand thing, to speak
unkindly of friend. or to repeat a
conversation which was confidential.
1t may happen to you. for instance,
to be visiting in the home of relative
or friend, where there may be Il little
friction at the table. or where some
anxiety arises about the course of
member of the family. No matter
what you see or hear. in such circum-
stances you are bound, if you are an
honorable person, to be silent about
Ii, neither making comments nor look
ing rs if you could tell something if
you choose. not in any way alluding
to what is unpleasant, at any future
time. Il guest in home cannot be
too careful to guard the good name
Of those under its roof. for it is an
honor to be guest. in the first place.
and honor is demanded in return.
Again. a nice sense of honor in mat
ters connected with money is very
important. Polly is treasurer Of n so
ciety, and has the care of the funds.

The Size of the Sun.

The sun. provided we measure only
the disk seen with smoked glass, is
eight hundred and SiXty-SiX thousand
miles in diameter, i. G., one hundred
and eight earths could be comfortably
ranged side by side across the disk
To cover the surface would require
many thousands. TO fill the interior
we should need one million three hun.
bred thousand. On similar scale
we might represent the sun by ball
two feet in diameter and the earth by
Il gOOd-SiZed grain of shot. Let the
sun be followed out, then place the
earth at its center, and let the moon
rcvolve about it at it's real distance OF
two hundred and forty thousand miles.
There would yet remain nearly two
hundred thousand miles of space be-
tween the moons orbit and the in
closing shell of the sun. Indeed. to
journey from one side Of the sun to
the other, through the center, would

4 careful examination of the trees
that are struck by lightning shows thaY
over half Of them are white poplar.
From this fact scientists conclude that
the poplar has some value as a CON
ductor of lightning. This being the
case. agriculturists are advised to
plant these trees in the vicinity Of
their farm buildings. An additional
suggestion il the attaching Of light

sharpers, and the transient element that
flock in and drop out, but not until after
spending no tri1iing sum, for living is
high, both as to altitude and price.
business is more overdone in a mining
camp than elsewhere.
Everyone thinks that he can easily
pick up a fortune where there is so
much gold, and nearly everyone is dis
appointed. Life is also uncertain, not
so much from the rough element as
from sickness and whisky. The high
altitude is a region of perpetual winter,
snow and rain. The life is naturally an
exciting one, and whether prosperous
or the reverse whisky is taken as a
stimulant or to quiet the nerves, which
are usually at fever heat.
Summing up all this. from financial
standpoint, it is doubtful whether min
ing is profitable, generally speaking.
When one man becomes a millionaire
several millions become impoverished.
There is more money lost at mining
than is gained, taking all of the camps
as a whole. The world hears only of the
very rich camps-like Cripple Creek.
Leadville and the now almost abandoned
Virginia City. These camps produced
millions upon millions, and evolved day
laborers, saloon keepers, boarding
house keepers and washerwomen into
millionaires, United States senators and
would-be social leaders. But the world
does not hear of the other mining camps
throughout the west where fortunes are
lost in delving for hidden wealth. As
in the trades and professions. the sue
plodders are unknown.
