Too Rapid For the Sultan.

Hiram Maxim, the inventor Of tho
Maxim gun, tells an amusing story Of
an experience with the sultan Of Tur-
key. The sultan had witnessed test Of
the wonderful shooting Of the rapid fire
arm and was duly impressed with see
ing the small weapon deliver itself Of
600 shots a minute without being
touched by human hand save the first
pull of the trigger.
"Wonderful, wonderfull' he exclaim-
ed in amazement. 81 must have some
of those arms.
Some time later NJ. Maxim received
an order for an expensive pattern Of
small field arm. He made two, beauti-
fully chased in gold and Of marvellous
workmanship. What the sultan could
want of such expensive outside trap
pings he did not know, but they were
duly sent to Turkey, where they now
rest in the royal museum.
''Ahl They shoot too we'll, the sui
tan is reported to have said when asked
why they were not used in the field.
They are better where they are.
It was afterward said that the sultan,
having superstitious regard for their
shooting power, thought they were bet
ter off where they could be seen instead
of being handled by his troops in times

Il RICH NEW ENGLANDER BDILDS
A CITY IN THE WOODS.

Much has been said about Wander
bilt's great place down south, but it
is left for New Highlander to go Van
derbilt ''several better" Mr.. James
w. Tufts of Boston, Mass, the we'll
known soda water apparatus manu-
facturer, went down to see what at
tracted so many Yankees to the
Southern Pines, N. @. region. He saw
there a town of fine hotels, handsome
homes, beautiful farms and profitable
vineyards, and inside of ten days af-
ter his arrival he had purchased six
thousand acres of land near the town.
He employed the best landscape en-
gineers, laid the grounds out and then
commenced a great work. Hundreds
Of carpenters and laborers, were en-
ployed building roads, parks, electric
car lines, lakes, hotels, houses, deer
parks and in fact everything that
money could build. This work has
been kept up, until today this man
has one of the most unique and hand
some places in the world, with it's
opera houses, restaurants and every
thing to amuse and interest.
The best part of this work is that
this big hearted man is not doing this
for his own pleasure, but he is enter
tanning at about actual cost, hundreds
of doctors, lawyers, minis ters and
teachers, who could not aft ord to pay
high rates for rent of cottages and
hotel charges. Mr.. Tufts is in no way
working this enterprise to make mon
ey; he sells no lands or lots. His
great pleasure is to draw around him
hundreds of Northern people from
his native section during the winter
months, and see them enjoy them
selves and gain health at the same
time
Mr.. Tufts place is easily reached
from Boston via. the Merchants and
Miners steamship line to Norfolk, Va.
and thence via. the Sea GARD Air Line
to Southern Pines.
What happy world this would be,
if there were more men like Mr.. Tufts,
who is constantly planning how he
can add pleasure to some one else's
life, beside himself and family. Pull
man built his city for his own finan-
cial benefit, Vanderbilt bought his
thousands of acres of sou thern lands,
and built his place for his own pleas
ure; but Mr.. Tufts built his southern
city with his handsome hotels com
Portable boarding houses and scores
of cottages for the pleasures of the
people.

4 LITTLE WHILE.

Life is too short for bitterness,
For thoughts that are not kind
Sweep back the cloud of jealousies,
And let the nobler mind
Look out undimmed. Give fuller sway
To Charity-be just
To those who stumble by the way
The strongest are but dust.
Life is too short for heedlessness,
For words that hurt and wound,
For acts that set the quivering cores
Of pain to broken sound;
Too short for faithlessness- heart
That rests on thine may break,
And leave the agony of night
For thy lone life to take.
Life is too short for auy work
That is not high and true,
Too short to slight the broader aim
God meant should come to you,
o heart, rise up into the light
Of grander life and thought,
And find the place and blessedness
Thy loving faith has wrought.

IN GREEN CATHEDRAL AISLES.

Within the green cathedral aisles
The winds are whispering 'mong tbs
leaves,
And natures face is wreathed in smiles.
The sunlight in mosaic weaves
A gorgeous pattern meath our feet,
And summer days are fair and sweet.
No pride or pomp in Mammon's piles
Can match these old cathedral aisles.
The birds are chanting songs of praise,
And music murmurs in the trees,
For in these quiet woodland ways
The choristers are birds and bees;
The flowers with incense fill the air,
And natures priests her vestments wear.
In forest, free from human guiles,
Are rear'd these grand cathedral aisles.
The city teens with restless life,
And tapering steeples bear the cross
a symbol of the Christians strife
Through all the years of gain and loss.
So ever upward point the trees
And wave their plumes in every breeze,
To lure the wanderer miles and miles
Within the green cathedral aisles.

WISHES IDLE AND EVIL.

At this time, when New Years
wishes are still in the air, a writer in
the Philadelphia Ledger has chosen
"Reckless Wishing" for the caption
of timely article intended for the
benefit of women and girls especially.
From childhood up many mothe rs
allow in themselves and their families
the words 81 wish' to enter very con-
siderably into the planning and
dreaming of future happiness or sue
cess. In these homes seldom is any
check laid upon such idle speech as:
beautiful; wish 1 were young; 1 wish
| were grown up; and even, l wish L
were man. It may be that through
encouragement from permission of
snch expressions, they form real
hopes that must end in disappoint
ments on all other grounds it is sheer
waste of time, breath, brain and mat
ter. A wish of this sort has nothing
whatever to do with an earnest de-
sire which sets itself goal, and then
is its own incentive to reach that end.
There is a world of difference between
this determined effort to achieve a
wish, that is strong enough to give
birth to the effort, and the idle long
ing which, in nine cases out of ten,
dies before the words it uses to eX-
press itself have faded into air. The
folly would hardly deserve a thought
were it not that a child can be SO
trained that he grows to be complete
ly satisfied with the wish, and never
even tries 10 attain it, or on the other
hand may be so taught that no wish
seems worth wishing if it be not vital
enough to resolve itself into action.
There is another use of 81 wish"
more blameworthy than mere folly,
but fortunately more rare. Certain
people have the habit of wishing evil
to the peron or thing which offends,
without in the least meaning what
they say, or only half realizing the
import OF their rash words. We have
been said to borrow this habit from
our Irish ancestry and friends for
everybody knows the Irish exclama-
tions of ''bad luck to him. or "bad
'css TO it," and the like, and we are
not much troubled by the wishes on the
tongues of that warm hearted race,
but with US the caoe is different and
we can hardly repress shudder when
we hear the more serious expressions
common among us. 1t is we'll that
such evi! wishes are not meant in the
least. Imagine for an instant the
anguish of woman who eXclaims
81 wish [ could never see him again."
aud then does see him in a short
time, the victimsOf a fatal accident.
She might know that her wish had
nothing whatever to do with the ac-
cident, yet if the cruel words had
never been spoken her grief would
seem comparatively ht,-lacking all
its self reproach. 1t may be that
into every life come moments when,
if wish could kill, we would strike
as swiftly and as effectually as the
lightning. But they are only gusts
in storm of passion, mercifully
harmless to the object of our wrath,
but mercilessly harmful to ourselves.
