Artists Faliuaes.

s'Do not, let mo beg of you, be afraid of so called failures, said well known artist addressing his class "They ara only stepping stones to success, the premiums we all must pay for experi- enoe. may say, without vanity, that I have been fairly successful in my pro fessien, and yet to one canvas that sue eeeded there have been as many as 10 which have soraped down with my palette knife in disgust. Even if a stu dent never succeeds, his very failures may be noble. '
 It is not only to art that this exhorta- tion might apply. In every career, in every walk i'll life, the same point of view should be taken. Failures are not failures really-they are lessons; they are stepping stones. They should not be associated for moment with despond. ency or hopelessness Just as child tumbles and picks himself up as a mat ter of course and runs gayly on, so should we children of larger growth regard the ups and downs of lias, never losing courage, however often we tum- ble. Young people especially should be taught that it is not always success Co succeed and that disappointments should be taken philosephically. The idea of booby prize in games ia good one. There are many prizes in life for those who apparently fail, and even in worldly matters the last shall be first and the first shall be last in nine cases ont of ten. New York Tribune.
 Elephant F1esi, ah African nelicacy-
 The flesh of the elephant is eaten in it's entirety by several of the African tribes. 4 detail of the process of butch ering the animals is not pleasant road ing. The tools used arc tho assagai and hatchet. The rough outer skin is first removed in large sheets Beneath this is a subcuticle, pliable membrane, from which the natives make water skins The elephant yields large quan- titles of fat, used in cooking the na- tiyes' sun dried biltong, or dried strips of the elephants flesh, and also in the preparation of vegetables. African ex. plorers of the Caucasian race agree that one part of the elephants carcass, when properly cooked, is suceulent dish that will regale the most delicate taste. This part, very strangely, is the first joint of the leg below the knee, whiel one would suppose to be tho toughest portion of tho animal. To prepare tht joint hole three feet deep is dug 1T the earth, and the sides of 1t are baked hard by means of large live coals. Mos of the coals are then taken out, and th. elephants foot is placed in the rud' oven. The hole is then filled with dirt tightly packed, and blazing fire i built on top, which is kept replenishes for three hours. The foot is thus evenl. baked, and when done, instead 0 strong, tough meat fiber, 1t is of ge tatinous consistency that may be eate' with q spoon. Philadelphia Lancet.

ONE OF THE CAUSES OF STRIKES

The New Era says that the
Philadelphia Times has been doing
a good work in exposing the IN
iquity Of the company stores
maintained in the mining regions.
The miners arc expected to pur-
chase their provisions. clothing
and other supplies from these
stores, where they are charged
from 20 to 80 per cent. more than
they could purchase them for at
cash stores. The result is that in
many cases the monthly statement
showes that the workman is in
debt to the stores. If they eXer-
else the right so purchase where
they can buy on the best terms
they soon find themselves discharg.
ed and their places filled with
men who are more subservient to
the tyranny of the bosses. 1t is
NOT surprising that these men are
discontented and periodically plan
ming strikes. To be paid the
lowest wages for the hardest work
and then swindled at these pluck
'em stores is severe test upon hu-
man endurance.

NO AUTONOMY FOR CUBA,

The plan of "0utonomy," or
rather the hypoeritical promise of
it arranged and promulgated by |
Senior Sagasta, has fallen about as
eat as it is possible for State

its rottenness and improbability;

to treat as traitor anyone pro
posing it; and the representative
Cuban resident III America solemn.
ly have declared that they will
have nothing to do with it, but
will continue to support the war
independence. Who, then, dare
question the fact, that the scheme
| is as dead as Hector?
Apparently, however, the Ad.
mimstration is acting as If Senior
ISagasta's little game were honest
feasible, and acceptable to this
nation. Not only so, but as if il
devolved upon our Government the
high duty of proceeding to help
Spain actively in the task of over
coming the Republic. American
sentiment has been exasperated
and outraged by the action of ouI
authorities, in devoting our naval
and revenue marine service to the
assistance of SPAN in patrolling
our own coasts against a perfectly
legitimate and lawful commerce be

Col. perrr Hcath,s Report.

master General Perry s, Heath for
the fiscal year just closed:
especial attghtron. is called 10
the necessity of additional facili,I
ties for the division of salaries and
allowances, but, above all other
recommendations, is placed one
making provisions for small corps
of special agents-about ten--who
are expert accountants, familiar
with real estate values, to inquire
in the field into postmasters' re,
uuisitions and demands, and to
reach a just ascertainment of merit
in such purely business matters as
cannot be obtained by correSpon-
dence. There should also be fixed
& more severe penalty for the pun
ishment of postmasters who ped
die postage stamps with view Of
increasing their own salaries, re-
sulting in the diminution of the
net receipts of the government.
Authority should be given to Sc
cure leases Of post.offie stations for
a period of ten instead Of five years.

cent policy of consolidation of
post offices and the establishment
or extension Of the free delivery,

as will give greater latitude Of dis
cretion in the use Of specific ap-
preparations. On July |, there
were 8,738 Presidential offices; em-
bracing lG9 first class, 750 second
class, and 2,8l4 third class. Con-
