They now and then do a thorough. good thing in Colorado.

The bitter cry of the curates of the Anglican Church is again brought to the attention of the public, this time by the London Times. Many of them. it is said, receive such miserable sti- bends that they are on the verge of star vation, while others are obliged to put their daughters into domestic service. Allowing for q certain amount of rhe- torical eXaggeration, there is no doubt that the lower clergy of the church are underpaid. Cautiously enough. how ever, the Wesleyan MethodiSts of Eng land, most of whose clergy receive ade- quate salaries. report falling off in the number of ministerial candidates. It is greatly to the credit of the ill., paid clergy of the English church that they themselves utter no complaints. It is other people who give voice to their "cry.'

Suicide of a Rattlesnake.

The question as to whether the rat
 tlesnake'S venom is poisonous to itself
 has often been discussed, but if any
 satisfactory conclusion has ever been
 arrived at We are unaware of the fact
 pr. W. J. Burnett, formerly a member
 of the Boston Society of Natural His
 tory, says that there are good reasons
 for believing that the action of the rat tiers yirulent poison is the same upon all living things, vegetable as well as animal. Other eminent naturalists com- bat this theory and declare that the idea of an animal poison killing or in- turing q vegetable is really preposter- OuS. Burnett says: Tt is even just as fatal to the snake itself as to other ani- mals." Then he relates the experience of one Dr. Dearing. The doctor had a specimen of the prolific rattler which he kept alive in a cage. One day he irri- tated the reptile so as to study the ef- feet of the anger thus provoked. The snake struck wildly about a few times and then buried it's fangs in it's own body. Almost instantly, the experi- menter says, the reptile rolled over and died. If this story is true, and we have no reason to doubt the story, we see in it the remarkable and unique physiolog- ical fact of a liquid secreted from the blood which proves deadly when intro duced into the very source from which it is derived.-St. Louis Republic.

The one quality that is more useful than another in the world, if one wishes to achieve anything whatever. is tact. Brute force may succeed, but then again it may fail, and in either case it leaves an unpleasant memory behind 1t; but, if tact fails. all is still serene. and one may try again with eQuanim- ity. The very name of tact tells its story, for, although in its first defini- tion 1t simply means touch, 1t develops the further implication of sensitive touch, then of adroit discrimination, then of delicate discernment. Discern ment of what? Of the right and fit. of that which gives the desired result in the best way.

Great but Poor

Poverty seems to have been the lot of most oe the worlds great musicians.
 BeethoTen was always poor. He was the son of a rough, drunken musician, who drove him to music with blows. He afterwards followed his pro- fession for the love of it, but it repaid him very badly.
 Handel was the son of coachmaker, and his mother had been a servant. Al though he had a place in the choir of the church as boy, he was dismissed when his voice changed, and became really destitute.
 A poor woman gave him a home in the attic of her house, and in after and more prosperous years the musician was able to return the favor twice-fold. which he did heartily and cheerily.
 Rossini was also poor, and while in Venice he wrote in bed during the cold weather, in order that he might save the expense of fire.

American apples. when the crop Is good and the various kinds are of per feet growth, are the finest fruit in the world. There is no fruit of the tropic or subtropic regions as good for all pur- poses as apples. Apples are superior to oranges, bananas, lemons, tamarinds and all other fruits in their taste for the palate and their wholesome effects as food. Their flavor is as various as human tastes. From the sweetness of honey they range to the sharpest acid ity. They fill every need of the stopc- ach for the vegetable juices which pro- mote health. There has not been in a generation as prolific harvest of ap- ples as that of the present year. All the branches of all the trees in all the orchards have been overburdened with their wealth of fruit. If the product of this year could have been distrib- uted over five years of partial prOduc- ton or of famine the average would have been sufficient for the entire pe- riod. In recent years the choicest va rieties of apples have been scarce ill  quantity and of inferior quality. They have lacked form and flavor They have been deteriOrated by various causes-frOm attacks of insects, by drouths, late or early frosts and sea- sOnal influences for which there was no apparent origin. This year all the soil and climatic influences have been favorable. In the fruit belts of the East and West the apple crop is pro- digious. The quality is of the best. The very culls and refuse this year are superior to the choice fruit of some previous years The shipments of American apples to Europe have begun and are likely to be enormous in ex- tent. The great crop this year will cause the fruit to be distributed at lower price in Europe than ever before. In the past American apples have been q rare and expensive luxury to Euro pean consumers. This year they will have aIt abundance. at low cost of the most delicious fruit that the soil pro- duces.

The old, cruel check rein has stiffened up the fore legs of more livery horses than all the work they have done. So, too. of many track and driving horses in the country. The check rein injures the muscles of the neck, and the fore legs are affected. Often the shoer is blamed when it is the check rein. The humane societies have the cooperation of the city horse owners, who have taken off the cruel check rein from the carriage horses and work horses. Aside from the cruelty, this affection of the usefulness of the horse should induce the thoughtless, kind-hearted people who drive horses to forever banish the torturous check rein as a savage relic that is painful to the horse and painful for most people to see.

Aerial Bicucle

There is likelihood that the problem OF
rapid transit has been solved by Hiram
Mikerson of Stoughton, Mass He has
invented an apparatus that he calls the
''aerial bicycle" although it travels on q
rail.
The rail for this apparatus is on q post
that curves outward several feet at the top,
and the rider sails along beneath the rail.
Two wheels run on the rail. They are
connected by tiepiece, to which is fast
ened framework that extends downward.
At the end of this framework is pro-
peiling mechanism, seat and handle being
very much like the ordinary bicycle. The
pedals are driven in the ordinary way, and
power is communicated to the wheels
above by an endless chain that passes
along the framework and over one of the
hubs.
Such q railway should be very cheap to
build, and it has the advantage of not
taking up any ground to speak of, as crops
can be grown between the posts. Consid-
erable speed ought to be developed with
very little power.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-09

fer, therefore, that beore long an Atlantic
and Pacific Aerial Express will be COM
peting with the Octopus for the traffic be-
tween the Golden West ana the effete
East.
1t is not to be expected that railroads
will go out OF use, or that the humble
country road will be obliterated. There
a-e lots of people to-day who could not be
prevailed upon to trust themselves upon a
railroad. In spite of the marvellous growth
of the bicycle fad there remain many who
look upon the wheel as an invention of
Satan, specially devised for the purpose of
increasing emigration to hades over the
profanity route. Scientific men, however,
who have not time to indulge in senti-
ment, are not deferred in their labors by
any apprehension of orthodox timidity,
but are busily working to produce the
practical aerostat. They will succeed.
The aerostat pictured here has shell of
aluminium thirty feet long, one-eighth OF
an inch thick, weighing 800 pounds. 1t
carries at its side: wings of vanished silk
