country nre tine washiDgs from Sncst
samo rich sources. Years ago, In 1888,
as nearly as can remember, tho placer
miners began working over Cbelkat
Pass and into the Yukon district. Poor
ly clad, badly provisioned, they went
out year after year. Some of them went
half crazy, but they found gold. They
came back and brought their friends In
with them next time. The very immen-
sity Of what they found worked In their
favor. They told the truth, the exact
truth. II sounded like the boastful In
ventions of men who were trying to
conceal their disappointment. Now,
when the gold dust itself IL beginning
to come out Of the mountains, people
believe them, but it's too late now to
90 up there with the idea OF making
money out of the mines. Everything Is
gobbled up. New York Sun.

Importance Of Regular Living.

A question has lately arisen as to the in
crease or the reverse in nervous diseases,
some arguing that the cause of the sup
posed increase in such nervous diseases lies
In the increased demand made by the con-
ditions Of modern life upon the brain. 1t
Is quite true that the conditions Of life are
very different nowadays from what they
werea few years ago. Wenow live in high
pressure age, and in one Of keen competi-
tion, when greater effort Is needed In every
branch OF life to attain successful posi-
tion, when the brain Is always working
and there is constant tension. Such con-
ditions, it will be perfectly obvious to oil,
are not favorable to u diminution OF nerv-
Gus diseases, but rather the reverse. At
the same time, 1t cannot be denied that
the comforts of life have increased. We
have better sanitation, cleaner houses and
fresher air.
There can be no question that men Of
regular habits are healthier, happier, live
longer and do more than those who obey
caprice and impulse. The adoption Of
hygienic habits saves the nervous system
an enormous amount OF friction and waste.
1t preserves vitality. Regularity econo-
mizes not only physical stamina, but time
az we'll The man who knows no system
In tho details of his life, who cxhausts ma
ture ut the instance Of passing whim,
who drinks and smokes to excess, who
wastes the talents bestowed upon him, Is
tho one who must sooner or later fall VIC
tim to disoase. Regularity and modera-
tion In all things should bc the motto OF
life, and it should be remembered that
regularity does not necessarily preclude the
enjoyment Of variety. A certain amount
Of variety prevents man from becoming a
moro machine, but variety should not in
terfcro with those regular habits of life
which arc necessary to the maintenance OF
health. New York Ledger.

THE KEYNOTE OF NATURE.
Chinese Discovered It Thousands Of Years
Ago.

Ago.
The Chinese find in the deep roar of
the great and sacred river the keynote
of nature. They say that the aggregate
sound Of nature, such as is heard in the
roar of great rivers, the soughing Of
the wind in tall forest trees, the hum Of
great cities, etc., is definite single
tone Of quite an appreclable pitch.
Professor Rice, in his Chinese Music, {"
says that the Chinese recognized thou
sands of years ago this fact in regard to
sound which the scientists Of today are
just beginning to discover. AS proof Of
this he quotes from their writings, "The
waters Of the Hoang Ho, rushing by,
intoned the great kung," called "the
great tone" in Chinese music, and he
shows this to correspond with the +,
considered by modern physicists to be
the actual tonic of nature"
Professor b. Silliman, too, in his
principles of Physics" says that "this
tone is held to be the middle f Of the
piano, which may therefore be consid-
cred the keynote of nature" This can
easily be put to the test by any one in
the following why: Go outside some
fine night when sounds are clear and
listen to the general sound of nature as
from distance. 1t will suggest tone
of certain pitch. Keeping this in your
mind, go inside and strike the middle
+ Of the piano. The two sounds will be
found to correspond in pitch. Harper
Magazine.

HIS SECOND ASSIGNMENT.
A Leaf Out Of Newspaper Reporters
Early Experience.


Early Experience.
"My first assignment" said an old re-
porter, twas to find out whether some
body was In town, or something OF that
sort. / know there was nothing to be
written about 1t. got the information
and reported to the city editor. That was
all had to do that day. For the rest OF
the day sat around the Office and looked
on with an infatuation that has never de-
rreased. The next day got my second
assignment. In this there was something
TO write about.
1.-The city editor handed mo narrow
little strip Of white tissue paper cut from o
sheet of ship news and containing, In two
lines of writing, information that two Ia
borers had been washed overheard from
the barge So-and-so, laden with ore, COM
ing up the bay in tow of the tug So-and-
30. What was to do was to get the facts
about the occurrence and write them.
1.-THE city editor said that II would
find the consignees of the barge or the
owner of the tug would get on the trace
of the story. The names Of tho consignees
were In the two lines Of ship news, and
simply by looking In the directory found
their office without tho slightest trouble.

the newspapers are sending after all the

INDIAN LANGUAGE DYING.

But Few Now Speak It In Its Purity In
This Country.
"Like the buffalo. the Indian Ian.
guage will soon be lost forever" ex-
planned a gentleman who, under the
auspices Of the Smithsonian institution,
has devoted number Of years to the
study and preservation Of the Indian
language. "It was thought that tho In
dian language could be preserved by the
aid Of the phonograph and graphophone,
and parties were sent out to many In
dian tribes to have them talk into tho
apparatus and thus secure record Of
the Indian tongue. It was found, how
ever, that but few Indians of the pres
ent day-and they were the older ones
could talk a pure tongue. More than
one-half Of the Indians now on the res
ervations--and this is the case with all
of the younger Indians-oonverse In

They admitted to me that they did not

the greatest difficulty that they could
get the boys and girls to speak in their
native tongue at all or to learn even
the commonest words or phrases. ar
ranged with half dozen Cherokees,
however, and secured their services to
talk into the machines, and have thus
got some pretty good Cherokee, but I
know enough about the language my
self to know that it is very imperfect
Indian language. A few of the Sioux
Indians talk pretty we'll, but it is a
mixture. In less than 90 years do not
think there will be an Indian in this
country who can talk his native tongue
pure. As far as the Indian children are
concerned, they use six English words
where they use one Indian word. The
machines of the day will record the
language il it is talked into them, but
the difficulty is to get Indians who can
talk with the necessary degree Of ao-
curacy. Washington Star.
