Vain Striving.

What is the use for us to strive
To grasp what lies beyond our reach,
Unmindful of the many joys
Strewn all along the path of each.
Our eyes seem fixed upon the nights
The unattainable that lies
Far, far above our mortal reach,
A little lower than the skies.
'Twere better far that we should Gull
The lowly violet meath our tread,
Than useless strive to pluck the rose
That grows upon the rock o'erhead.
The weary hearted, who at last,
Views with regret his useless strife,
Remorseful cries: tbs all in vain;
OH give me back my wasted life

The nineteenth century has begun
to lay the foundation for universal peace
and progress. Not least among the great
moral and religious achievements of
this wonderful century are the enamel
patton of American slaves, of the Rus
sian serfs, the holding of the first in
ternational religious congress at the
Worlds Exposition in 1893, and the
great international universal peace con-
ference recently held at The Hague.
These wonderful events would all have
seemed impossible during the
preceding century; yet it has
been our good fortune to be
living witnesses of them alb
Little as our fathers of the eighteenth
century dreamt of these remarkable
happenings, so do we little dream of
the yet more wonderful happenings
which are in store for those destined 10
live in the century to follow. We feel
ourselves broader, more enlightened,
less bigoted and far more tolerant than
We're those who lived in the generations
of the past, and yet our spirit will seem
narrow indeed, our thoughts cramped
and our ideas limited, compared with
the still broader and more enlightened
minds to be inherited by our children
and our children's children. They are
truly destined to live in the messianic
age, when, in the language of Isaiah,
swords shall be b aten into plowsha es.
spears into pruning hooks and when
war shall be no more

hasten such glorious day; many of US
imagine that the uplifting OF nation

A Black Leonard.

A leopard can never change its spots
it is true, but it can sometimes be per-
fectly black, or-in far rarer cases-per-
fectly white. One of the black speci-
mems has been at the Zoo for the last
week or SO, though comparatively. few
visitors have been aware of the fact.
They have passed his cage in the lions
house and found it seemingly empty.
Rut if they had looked closely at the top
of the tree trunk i10Sne far right-hand
corner they would have discovered the
crouching and apparently jet-black
animal, with it's back toward the bars
of the cage, and it's head, outstretched
and motionless, fixed against a grating
in the wall. There he stays the whole
day long and all through the week,
never moving a hair save when the
keeper brings his iron rod into play.
Then the head is swung around with a
snarl, and the leopard, looking the very
incarnation of evil, shows it's cleaning
white teeth. Ordinarily it might well
be taken for dead 1t comes down only
in the night time to devour it's food.
The animal in all probability will not
be at the Zoo much longer. Like many
otter new arrivals, it was sent there
ION approval and in company of an
other black leopard. One of the pair
died before it could be turned out of the
cage in which it came, while it's fellow
was found to be not only lame but so
fierce and unmanageable as to be
more bother than it is worth So it
will doubtless be returned
The black leopard is nothing more
than variety of the better-known spe-
cies, as is proved by instances in which
female of the ordinary color has given
birth to litter among which was
black cub. 1t has been remarked, how
ever, that these black leopards are US
ualy met with in the hill jungles, and
it is reasonably supposed that such dis
tricts are more or less associated with
the abnormal development of color

Sometimes the warder Lizer brings
To whisper at the CRATES;
And when sees 'er smile a treat
Wiv tear-drops in 'er eye,
The toffs as walks daLn Regent street

When knowing coppers messes round
From hampstead 'Eath to Thames,
You might a thought as they'd be bound
To stop all crooked games;
The 'Ooley, too, go free
The poor dishonest burgling man
Knows no such liberty.
Stone walls may not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
But as a substitute they take
Some beating, I'll engage;
The birds and fishes, winds and such
Are free as blooming free,
Your Bill for 'af year, old Dutch,
Knows no such liberty

The Conjecture, which is the best
property of the Lake View camp, at
the head of the lake, is noted for the
fact that it has paid a. profit to the own
ers above cost Of something over 500
feet of work from the rock taken from
the workings. The reduction of this ore
was extensively done, showing the
great capacity of this class of ore, but
the owners not being men of sufficient
means properly to equip the mine, call
ed to their aid men of means in Spokane
and the successful fiotation of the
property followed and a mill was Or
dered installed.
The Bi-MetaHic is a cernpany
formed principally of Chicago business
men, to develop three claims situated
ON the mountain-side near the mouth of
Granite Creek, on the eastern side Of
the lake, sixteen miles from Hope, Ida
no, a division point on the Northern Pa
cific Railroad. The company own the
Bi-Metalic, Calumet and the Free Coin
age claims, the former two being conti-
guous and continuous, while the last
lies a little nearer the lake, about cne-
half mile farther north. Practically
nothing has been done on the Free
Coinage, except the necessary assess
mint work. The site of the present work
fngs is only 1000 feet from the shore,
and by means of steamers and scows
the ore can be handled between the
mine and the cars at Hope for 81 % per
ton, practically nominal figure. Up
to the close of the season of 1898 the
work on the property has been three
exploration shafts and two large open
cuts for exploration purposes. and a
large tunnel from the permanent tun-
mel site. ON the ledge, thirty feet deep.
Sufficient exploration has been done
practically to demonstrate the perma-
| hence and high value, and the work
from now on Will be of a permanent
char acter, to put the mine on shipping
basis. The ore, which is in a very clear
ly defined ledge and which is very
highly mineralized, varies from four to
! sixteen feet in width. Many assays
have been had, running as high as $500
per ton.

A Picnic in Japan.

A picnic in Japan is treat that does
not fall I'M the way of many Americans;
Dut 1t was not strange that the child
rem of an American Consul General at
Yokohama should have been invited to
attend one; nor, perhaps, that it should
be described in the May st Nicholas"
One OF its jolliest incidents was the
appearance of troupe of rowing aero
bats, who planted themselves close by
and promptly began their performance.
1t consisted of four boy-tumblers. mere
fat babies, whose bones were evidently
of india-rubber. It was considered
almost mean to let Julie go on sleeping
and soon her joyful pipe was added to
the rest of the hubbub. An opposition
show drew near, and was rewarded
with instant success; for this time the
theatrical company was composed of
two brown monkeys. dressed, of course.
in tiny kimonos, with blue coolie hand
kerchiefs tied about the heads. They
began by bowling in true Japanese
fashion to the delighted audience: then
they fell to fencing, with a terrible
clashing of spears fully as long as
pencils; and between each round the
Snowman opened wee red fans and
HdIfdtu eiAcili W the supposedly over
heated artists, who comicaIly squatted
and absent -mindedly famed the grass
about them Lee and Ned fairly rolled
ON the ground with laughter, and Julie
had to be held firmly on both sides.
such was her frenzy of excitement
With a snort of perfect contempt. the
other Snowman began to beat his drum
and give sharp orders to his homeless
babies. But they palled, after the
monkeys; and no matter how many
ages they stood on their poor little
heads, nor how many scores of wheels
they wheeled, despite their twists and
tumbles and starts and screams and
clippings and bowings, the eyes of the
audience wandered back to where
painted the sad-eyed monkeys in their
striped cotton kimonos, CHANGING about
marked disapproval and a settled mel
ancoly regarding the world at large.
Attracted by the Jingle of copper sen.
showered equally by systematic tutor,
other roaming shows and musicians
drew near, and soon the picnic party
was the enraptured center of a hula
baloo that could be heard a quarter of
a mile away.
