TWO WAYS TO LIVE ON EARTH.

There are two ways to live on earth
Two ways to judge-to act-to view;
Fol ALI things here have double birth,
A right and wrong-a false and true!
Give me the home where Kindness seeks
10 that sweet which seemeth small
Where every lip in fondness speaks.
And every mind hath care for all!
Whose inmates live In glad exchange
OF pleasures, free from vain expense
Whose thoughts beyond their means ne'er
range,
Nor wise denials give offence.
Who in a neighbours fortune find
No wish-no fmpulse-to complain
Who feel not-never felt-the mind
10 envy yet another's gain!
Who dream not of the hooking tide
Ambitions foiled endeavor meets
The bitter pangs Of wounded pride,
Nor fallen Power, that shuns the streets. -
Though Fate deny its glitt' ring store,
Loves wealth is still the wealth to choose;
For all that gold can purchase more
Are gauds-it is no loss to lose!
Some beings, wheresoe'er they 60,
Find naught to please-or to exalt
Their constant study but to show
Perpetual modes of finding fault.
While others, in the ceaseless round
Of daily wants, and daily care,
Can yet Gull flowers from common ground,
And twice enjoy the joy they share!
On, happy they who happy make =
Who, blessing, still themselves are blest -
Who sometimes spare for others sake,
And strive-in all t~hings-for the best

N DOGS,
How the Saurian IL Said to Snap Up a
Canine MOrse1 from the Bank.

How the Saurian IL Said to Snap Up q
Canine Morsel from the Bank.
The big gator in the waterworks
lake hasn't had a square meal since he
killed Lee MacDoncll's Irish setter.
The fact is he found dog SO succulent
hat he now turns up his nose at or
binary beef. The old chap now spends
his time scanning the horizon for
dogs.
One jumped the fence surrounding
the lake recently and stood on the
shore tapping his fill Of water, TN
suspicious that danger lurked SO near.
The blinking eye Of the crusty old sau-
rian saw him, however, and saw him
quickly. The gator sunk SO silently
that no ripple was disturbed, and
made a bee line under the water for
the canine there was the flash of the
gators tail, O sheet of foam, q yawn-
ing mouth serrated with sharp ivory,
but he missed the dog. The water
was too shallow for him to draw near
enough to deliver the coup de grace,
but a wQse frightened dog one never
saw. }e gave a startled yelp, leaped
the fence, and crawled shivering from
the spot, CHANGING back now and then
with his big, scared eyes to see if that
horrible apparition were following.
Just before the gator killed Lee
MacDonell's dog he secured a victim
in the shape of a large brindle cur.
and Swan around the pool holding
him in his jaws for five or six hours,
as if to show visitors his prowess.
Finally he buried him in Che mud, but
the carcass, next day foated to the
surface. Fred Ellis zen Cass, one
of the workmen, to pull it ashore. He
got a boat, and, securing the animal,
dragged it ashore and went to notify
a cremator cart driver to call for it.
By the time the cart got there the
alligator had crawled out, got his
property, and, as he did on the first
day, swan around the pool with it for
several hours, finally leaving it afioat.
Cass was sent again to pull the car
cass out. He armed himself with a
spiked pole, stabbed the dog, and
drew him in to the bank. The great
sluggish gator Vas reused to fury in
a moment and came with a rush
through the water for the dog, and
there he and Cass had a pitched bat
tie for five minutes, the gator finally
retreating before the numerous spik-
ings he had received with the raft
pole. This time it was seen that he
had eaten off the dogs head.
Joe Frazee, called "Alligator Joe,"
because of his alligator farm and his
chase OF the reptiles, out of which he
makes an excellent living, says that
when a gator sees its prey upon the
bank it sinks, swims to the spot, and
then like a flash, springs into a curve,
the tail striking the object and send
ing 1t into the mouth, open and ex-
.pectant, with almost unerring aim.-

An Interesting Experiment.

M. Armand Wire, noted for his re.
searches on the subject of cave-dwell.

utilizing the underground passages

Gently a s~ubterranean laboratory was
inaugurated at the Jardin DIES Plantes.
which is expected to serve a purpose
OF the greatest scientific importance.
About so guests were present with
the curator of the museum at the in
auguration of the laboratory. The
catacombs are reached by descending
stone steps, which lead down about Il
meters until a curious round chamber
the principal room Of the laboratory
is reached. Here are stone tables
on which are huge bottles and reser-
voirs, continually supplied with fresh
water, In which are salamanders, tri-
tons and fish of all kinds. In CALLER
les are cages of rats, pigs and other
animals, which are already SO accus-
toned to their new life that the light
from h candles causes them to run
to the darkest corners of their prison
for protection. Occasionally an official
will descend with a red lamp to take
food to the creatures, but rarely will
the scientists visit the laboratory. In
cave-dwelling animals, in place of
eyes, atennae have developed. Scien-
lists have only been able to observe
the extreme types. It is hoped that

"The salts necessary for the well.

food. All machinery must be well

"The Americans do not use enough
oil to keep them in perfect health.
While butter is served in some fami-

salvation Of consumptives or those

The German army will probably
continue to grow every year, but
France has already practically every

Tor military service, and how can she
keep up with Germany in the size of

Of Frances weakness. Her popula-
lion is practically stationary. In five
years it has increased less than me-

Berry for Recognition
Mr. Berry, of Arkansas, was recognized.
He wanted to vote for the resolution offered
by Mr.. Turpie, which proposes to recognize
the independence of the present republic
of Cuba. He thought this was absolutely
essential to place the country on an honor
able footing before the nations of the W rid.
He spoke of the nearness of war and said
to bring victory to the American army ii
was absolutely necessary to give the pres
ident the aid and comfort which was need
ed in this hour of his greatest trial..
He then, with an impassioned outburst,
pledged the south to loyalty to the flag.
While he would reserve his judgment until
the record had been made up of the valor
Of the southern soldiers, he believed the
record would be imperishable in the his
tory of modern civilization; and at the
close of some glorious day with the stars
and stripes flying over the plain of DESC
lated Cuba, the valor of the south would
stand side by side with the valor of the
northern comrades.

opening sentences which fell from the lips
of the distinguished virginian were:

MORE WAR PREPARATIONS.
Naval Reserve viii Demand Patrol Boats
3 After the O'Higgns Again.

= Washington, April 15.-Several important
and decisive steps in the work of war
preparations were taken by the navy de-
partment today. 1t was decided that when
hostilities appear, certain to assign the
naval reserves of New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, Maryland and Michigan to
the five auxiliary cruisers hereafter to be
known as patrol boats. 1t was decided to
charter the American liners st. Louis, St.
Paul. Paris and the New York.
But of greater moment than any of these
developments was the re-opening of nego-
tiations for the purchase of two warships
and several torpedo boats from Chill and
Argentine. One of the cruisers is the
O'Higgns, just completed in England.
The proposition has taken definite shape
in the suggestion that Chill shall sell the
O'Higgns and one torpedo boat, while Ar
gentine shall dispose of their Garibaldi or
the San Martini, both fine cruisers, and
two torpedo boats.
This would leave the two navies in about
the same respective condition.

Quieting Down of Trade as to
Future Engagements.
IRON TRADE is STILL LARGE
1t Is Claimed the Industries Are Running
Orders Booked During February and
March : Heavy Export De-
mand in Wheat.

New York, April 15.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
The effect of the prevailing uncertainty
in foreign affairs is reflected in further
perceptibe quieting down of general trade
as to future engagements in nearly all
parts of the country, especially at the east
and at the South Atlantic gulf ports, where
the interruption to business has become
particularly serious The disposition to
buy only actual necessities has developed
@ hand to mouth demand in the latter sec
ton of the country, but the chief effect
is found in the disposition to embark in
new enterprises or to contract new obliga-
tions pending the definite settlement of
the foreign controversy.
Iron Trade Is Large
In the iron trade business continues in
large volume, but the bulk of this is claimed
to be on account of orders previously
booked. Price weakness is more marked
also than for some time past A feature
of the week is reported to be the gradual
getting together of the non-Bessemer pig
iron purchasers, who are said to have
formed a combination which will include
nearly all the manufacturers of pig iron be-
tween the Alleghenies and the Rocky
mountains.
the activity in dry goods Is confined chiefly
to goods needed at once. Cotton goods
prices are steady except for print cloths.
Low price woolens continue in most active
demand in this branch of trade.
Heavy Export Demand
heavy export demand is reported in
wheat and prices are considerably higher
Foreign impressions as to the outcome re-
garding Cuba are reflected in sharp ad-
yances in wheat, flour, corn, lard and other
food products. Declines are to be found
In Bessemer pig iron, steel billets, coffee,
sugar and lead, while, compared with a
week ago thep rices of oats, pork, beef,
molasses, copper, cotton, wool and manu-
factured products of both those staples are
generally steady and unchanged.
The business failures in the United States
were 216 this week. the same as last year.
The weeks exports of cereals are larger
as Follows: Wheat (hour included) 4,0i4. 900
bushels; corn, 4,627,000 against 2,32S, 900 last
year.
