Take People as They Come and Don't

Goodwill would come easier if we
could all contrive to make our expecta-
tions of one another bear a more rea-
sonable relation to facts, says Scrib-
ner's. Mos. CT us are apt to have a
general standard of looks, conduct,
morals, intelligence and agreeableness,
and to think favorably of persons who
come up to it or surpass it, and more
or less unfavorably of persons who
don't. People who come up to our
standard are mice" and we like their
company and cultivate their society,
and other people are not mice"
and we are apt to speak of
them with some disparagement, to
avoid being thrown with them, to sigh
when they ask us to dinner and to
think the time spent with them is
wasted. But We can easily discrimi-
nate overmuch and be ungenerously
fastidious about our companions. Peo-
pie whose circle of playmates is limited
to a select few of a certain scarce kind
are bound to be narrowed by their So
cial squeamishness. It is much better
for them to compel themselves to take
people more as they come and try to
get some pleasure out Of every one.
even if it is only such self-denying
happiness a, comes from pleasure
given.

A UNIQUE VILLAGE.
1t Is Almost Ideal In Many Ways-Two
Beautiful Boulevards.

IL Is Almost Ideal In Many Ways-Two
Beautiful Boulevards.
Along the old Second street pike, just
beyond the village of Bethayres and a
mile and half from Huntington VAL
ley station. on the Newton railroad,
John Pitcairn, a wealthy Philadelphia,
founded little settlement several
years ago for Swedenborgians, or mem
bers of the Church of the New Jerusa-
lem, says the Philadelphia Record He
bought large tract of land, built a
fine house and surrounded it with con-
veniences. The country, naturally
pretty, attracted others of his faith,
who viewed with favor the idea of
sectarian community. They secured
lots from the original property, which
was nearly square mile in extent, and
put up houses. Eight or nine families
are now included in the settlement and
more are to join, it, only awaiting
favorable opportunity to build. The
place has no other name than Beth
ayres, which it takes from it's close
proximity to that old town. It is, how
WI, SACAASAJ uAoIAACL 1IOA 00IudyIcS
proper. Every house within it's bor-
ders is large and handsomely finished,
inside and out. There are improve
ments in this new and well-regulated
little settlement of which municipal
ity would be proud. The houses are
built along two beautiful boulevards,
one of which is three-fourths of a mile
long and the other somewhat shorter
The driveways, of hard crushed stone,
are flanked on each side by strip of
sod. with young shade trees planted
at regular intervals Outside of these
green borders are the sidewalks. The
larger Of the boulevards has half
dozen rounded turns in it's course and
the other is laid out with proportion
ate number. The effect is novel and
pleasing and reminds the visitor of a
well-kept park. A complete system of
underground sewers drains the village
and an electric-light plant furnishes H.
Elimination for all the inhabitants.
Water is distributed under good pres
sure from a huge tank, the pumping
being done by windmill. Many other
conveniences contribute to the common
comfort

II We are going to censure our fell
lows let us at least blame them only
LOT what in them is Justly censurable,
says scribner's. People are born into
'nls world with vastly different outfits
Oh Intelligence, comeliness and health,
ana they are born into vastly different
environments. We should not blame
tnem for the absence of qualities or
instlncts which they had no means Of
lnnerltlng, nor for. the lack of knowl-
euee or manners or dispositions which
'lcir environments gave them no op-
portunity to acquire. If we are to
oiame them at all we ought to limit
our censure to such faults as they
might reasonably have avoided. Some
iolk Try very hard to be good and to
make the very most and best of what
they nave, but have such distorted ma
ter1als to work with that they never
win more than very moderate sue
cess. other people don't seem to try
nail as hard, but, being born sounder,
sweeter and more sane, with better
WITS and better instinct, work out
what Is In them under advantageous

cltles; the man with two talents, two

ne Is our brother, too. Are we to sniff
at him and insist that he is worthless,
ana contrast him, to his detriment
with the five-talent man whom we are
glad to call our friend? We shall pay
for 1t If we do. 1t is our affair to help
the one-talent man, if we can, to get
his poor talent out at usury. 1t may
not be possible for us to accomplish it.,
but IT we avoid him altogether we shall
avoid all chance Of helping him and
i'll will it be with us when our fastid-
iousness has finally done it's perfect
work and we have no companions at
all except five-talent people who do not
need our help.

Do NIastodons. still Live?

A very curious report comes from the
far northwest in our unexplored Alas
kan possessions. It is that living mas
tcdons have been seen in those regions
by native Indians within the past five
years. Such reports have come before
from furriers, but as these were white
men with the vices of civilization, they
were not fully believed. Now comes
confirmation from the Stick Indians
who live in that region. One of them
lately reports that he followed an i'm
mense track that seemed to be freshly
made. Going to the brow of an eleva-
ton he saw sight that chilled him
and sent him quickly in retreat. 1t
was of immense animals contending
in battle. He said it was bigger than
the post traders house, had great shin
ing yellow tusks and mouth large
enough to swallow a man. Relics of
mastodon bones have heretofore been
found with those of prehistoric man.
Doubtless he was mans most danger
GUS enemy before history began. If this
story had originated in one of the SEN
sational eastern papers we should not
give it moments attention, But it
comes from the Alaska News, which we
are charitable enough to hope is repu
table paper, and readers of the Ameri-
can Cultivator are entitled to hear this
story, which, if true, is Of great scienti-
fic interest. 1t used to be thought that
mastodons could only live in hot, or at
least moderate climates. But the mas
todon had very heavy fur, as we know
from pieces Of skin found encased in ice
in Siberia some years ago. It is not
an impossibility that few specimens
of the mastodon may have survived to
the present day in localities not Access
sible to man.
