from the president Of the company, J. Edward

Climate and Movement.

"The most important physical fac
tor in determining lines of movement, 4"
Gays a well-known man of science,
"has been climate. Speaking broadly,
migration follows the parallels of lati-
tude, or, moro precisely, the lines of
equal mean temperature, aud not so
much, think, OF mean annual heat az
of mean winter heat. Although the
inhabitants of cold climates often
evince desire to move into warmer
ones, they seem never to transfer
themselves directly to one differing
greatly from that to which thew arc
accustomed; while no people OF the
tropics has ever, SO far as 1 know,
settled in any part of the temperate
! zone.
There is one instance of North
European race establishing itself on
the southern shores of the Mediter-
ranean-the Vandals in North Africa,
and the Bulgarians came to the banks
| OF the Danube from the still sterner
winters of the middle Yolga. But in
the few cases of northward movement,
as IN that OF the Lapps, the cause lies
III the irresistible pressure of stronger
neighbors; and probably q similar
pressure drove the Fuegians into their
inbospitoble isles.
"The tendency to retain similar
climatic conditions is illustrated by
the colonization OF North America.
The Spaniards and Portuguese took
the tropical and sub-tropical regions,
neglecting the cooler parts. The
French and the English settled in the
temperate zone, and it was not till
this century that the country toward
the Gulf of Mexico began to be oc.
cupied by incomers from the Carolinas
and Northern Georgia. When the
Scandinavian immigration began it
flowed to the Northwest and has filed
the States of Wisconsin, Minnesota
and the Dakotas. Now York Herald

Faith in Human Nature.

1t is rather surprising to find right
on Park Row, New York City, cafe
that trusts its customers perfectly.
This place has probably 800 regular
callers. 1t. is open day and night,
and is run on n system of implicit
faith in the honesty OF man. While
not place strictly high. class. it offers
what might be called very "com.
Portable" meal, with trimmings before
or after. Altogether, it is simply a
plain plmesSfor an everyday man,
with ocd -kionally little something
extra on tho bill of fare eqraling
anything in the city. This, of course,
can be said OF hundreds OF similar
places; but the system of payment is
something novel. The proprietor,
a stout German, boasts no cashier, as
there is very little cash to take in.
On the cigar counter is a day book.
The customer comes in, goes to the
ice chest in the corner, if he wishes,
and takes quiet nip out OF black
bottle. Then he orders what he wants
on the bill of fare. 1t is served
quickly and neatly. He then counts
up his own indebtedness and puts it
opposite his name in the book, in.
Guiding the nip" or a cigar, if he
prefers that. He then walks serenely
out, knowing no proprietor is glaring
at him and no cashier yelling for him
to come back and make the cash
register good. This sort of child.like
simplicity in running a business in
the very heart OF city filed with
hunkoers, green goods men and gold
bricks without number, is said to be
n winning venture. The customers
invariably settle weekly, Friday and
Saturday being pay days, and the pro.
prietor says he has yet to lose bill
through deliberate fraud. A little
experience with a man like that is
almost enough to renew ones conf
dence in human nature. -Pittsburg

Hunting with Roman Candles.

Without any doubt Sam Wheeler
and Bill Sampson, OF Gulf Summit,
Penn, are are the most expert coon
hunters between Susquehanna and
Port Jervis. The other night they
started to try new method. The
dogs soon raised coon, chasing il
through q dark and rough ravine and
up a rocky spur. Sam and Bill had
tiresome walk Before they came up
with the dogs, which we're barking
under n large tree. A torch was
lighted as Sam fired Mt what he sup
posed was n coon, but nothing came
down. Then Bill tried the new plan.
Sam had no faith in it. As he was
ridiculing his partners scheme great
ball OF FIRE from a roman candle illum-
mated space.
Ball after ball was shot mp into the
tree. The third hit coon square in
the back. The animals fur cnuQht
fire as the coon fell down through the
branches of the tree. second later
the flames we're smothered and the
coon was killed by the dogs.
Bill caught sight of another coon
and put bullet through his head.
Another candle was lighted, and the
third coon was sighted. Bill had by
this time become expert, and the coon
lost his hold and fell among the wait
ing dogs. The same night six more
coons were baggod by the same pro.
cess. New York Press.

TRADES Of MaekereI.

"Mackerel only comes in three
grades" said we'll known grocery
man, Though there is not one buyer
in each thousand who knows anything
about 1T. These grades are bloaters,
selects and extras. They are also
known as Nos. ], 2 and 3. Number
ones should measure thirteen inches
from the tip of the nose to the crutch
OF the tail; number twos should be
not less than eleven and half inches
long, all sizes smaller are Jumped un
der the general head OF number three.
The terms bloaters, selects and extras
refer to the quality and condition, and
not to the size. Mess mackerel means
that the heads and tails have been re-
moved. In the case of mackerel the
fatter the fish the better is the quality.
Mackerel are also referred to as Nor.
ways and shores This indicates
where they are caught Shores are
not MS fat as Norways The mackorol
caught off Prince Edward Island and
known as islands should be OF n dark
red color. Those caught IN the ST.
Lawrence Bay are known as bays, the
meat Of which is darker than that OF
the Islands. Washington Star.

His "Little Feller -

~ happened to be down in my eel
lar the other morning when the ash
man came around to collect the ashes. -
said gentleman who resides in Second
avenue. 81 was opening barrel of
great red apples at the time, and when
the big, dust-ooyered and necessarily
untidy man came back with the empty
ash barrel 1 picked up an apple and
held 1t out toward him, saying as did
| go:
won't you have an applet
HE took 1t eagerly, saying as he
did SO:
Thank We, sir I've a little teller
at home who'll be tickled to death to
git it. most always find something or
other in the ash barrels to carry home
to m at night, but it amt often / git
anything equal to this big apple. 1

when he sees it,
II don't know how many times that
day my thoughts were of that big,
rough handed fellow, with that apple
put away SO carefully in-his pocket for
that little Teller.
when evening came l thought OF
the little teller who was on the look
out for the big. dust. covered father,
with the calioused and soiled hands.
but with the true heart and kindly
word that made him king in the eyes
OF that little feller.'
"lt must have been very poor and
humble home to which the man went
at tho close of his weary day, but then
there was the little feller's' presence
to N axe beautiful even the bare walls
and floors and to bring the love light
to his fathers eyes and Joy to his
fathers heart.
"These little fellers' glorify and
beautify many home in which pow
erty abides. But human affections
can sweetly and patiently endure toll
and rags and poverty when there is a
little Teller to meet and greet the
father when the long day is done. -
