a man with an unusual idea of hos
pitality was Mr.. Mathew, of Thomas
ton, Ireland, who lived in the earlier
years of the last century. says the San
Francisco Argonaut. Mr.. Mathews in
herited an annual income of about $685.
600. For many years he lived abroad
in a very frugal manner in order to ac-
cumulate an amount that would enable
him to indulge in form of hospitality
in his own country in harmony with the
plan he had devised. His house in Ire
land might be compared in size with a
modern hotel. Each of these he wanted
to visit him had a suite of apartments
and ordered his meals at the hour that
best suited him. He could cat alone
or he could invite others to join him.
All the visitors hunted, shot. fished,
played billiards or cards at will, and all
brought their own horses. There was a
regular bar where drinks were served
without stint. Mr.. Mathews as hest
completely effaced himself. He min
gled with his visitors as one whose
stay was as definitely fixed as theirs.
In fact, he conducted his house as if
it were a hotel, with the exception that
all was without charge. No servant
was allowed to accept tip. Violation
of this rule was followed by the instant
dismissal of the offender. This estab-
lishment, unlike other country houses
of Ireland of the period, was conducted
with perfect order and without waste.
His hospitality was lavish. and attract
ed to Mr.. Mathew all of the more fa~
nous men of the time. The great SUM
that he had put aside during his resi-"
dence abroad enabled him TO indulge
his hospitality instincts until he died.

TWO VALLEYS OF DEATH.
One I'm Java and Another In tn
south Of California.

One I'm Java and Another In the
south OF California.
The Valley of Death, or Poison valley,
as it is sometimes called, is an oval
shaped hollow near the summit of a
mountain on the Island of Java. 1t is
about half mile in width and 35 feet
deep, and its atmosphere is loaded with
carbonic acid gas. 1t has not been
thoroughly explored, says the Phila-
.delphia Times, for, as the bones of
beasts, of birds and of some human be-.
ings may be seen from its borders. even
the most adventurous persons do not
care to run the risk of breathing its air
for any time.
There is also death valley" in Inyo
county, Cal, between the Paramin
mountains and the Amarogosa range.
It is forty miles in length by eight miles
in breadth, and its lowest part lies $50
feet below sea level. 1t is known tha.
every part of it is a desert. but its
topography and its climate have never
been accurately observed forthe reason
that human beings cannot live long
enough in its atmosphere TO obtain the
needed facts. In the coolest and highest
part the thermometer often registers
125 degrees Fahrenheit, and this ex-
cessive heat may be the cause of the
deadly nature of its air, but as the val
ley is of volcanic origin it is surmised
that deadly gases may issue from the
cracks in the rocks. There are several
other places in the west where the heat
is so excessive that people cannot live
in it.

CITY VS.. THE COUNTRY.

The tendency of our people to crowd
into cities is growing more manifest
every year. Young men and young
women are deserting the rural districts
as rapidly as they become brave enough
TO forsake the scenes Of childhood. They
regard the cities as places OF golden
promise, where the work required OF
them is lighter and the pay better This
constant drain upon the young blood OF
rural communities is beneficial to the
cities, but before many years its harm
ful effects will be keenly appreciated by
the rural districts.

health officials OF every place in the

ures for 1890 and those for 1896 will dis
close the fact that the exodus from
rural districts to cities has played big
part In creating this increased conges-
tion Of humanity. Chicago, for instance,
has increased more than half million.
and New York nearly as much. Other
cities have made gains equally pho
nomenal when their size is taken into
consideration.
There can be no doubt that the large
and thickly-settled communities are ac-
quiring their greatness at the expense
of the brain and brawn of the country
districts. Easy work, good pay short
hours and the allurements of metro
politan life are making sad inroads into
the country towns and farming COM
munities.

CLEAN HOUSE.

The Christiana river is a government
stream and not a private run belonging
to Bridgetender Russell. Third street
bridge belongs to the taxpayers OF New
Castle county and was never put there
TO serve as Bridgetender Russell's play
thing It is well to bear these facts in
mind, for the present condition of af-
fairs is likely to lead one to forget
them.
The Levy Court has duty to per-
form, and that, too, Immediately. 1t
should examine the machinery OF the
bridge and see If It is competent to
operate the draw. II II is, then the men
in chargeof II are incompetent, and they
should be removed and competent men
substituted. II, on the other hand, the
machinery is too weak to perform the
work, let us have new machinery, for
we are having more trouble and ex-
pense with Third street bridge than
with all the other bridges put together
II has become a matter of such noto-
riety as to amount to almost a public
scandal. 1t is bad enough TO have bad
bridgetender, but when bad bridge is
coupled to him It is time for something
to be done.
Thus far the Levy Court has ignored
the repeated complaints of the shippers
who have to pass through the draw
This non-action has encouraged the
abuses which exist. II is time to act
and to demonstrate to the public thai
the bridge is to be used for public pur.
poses, and not for the convenience Of q
gang of incompetents who happen tt
be political heelers.

that was short statement regarding
the alleged causes leading up to the
