1t was a grand sight. and one never to be

SNOBBISHNESS.
One Meets 1t Everywhere-Not Con-

of People.

\ lady living in an questionable
street invited a gentleman of leisuTely
life to her home, because in her SIM
plicity she thought he seemed lonely,
says an exchange. He came and at the
close of the evening remarked to her:
"I had no idea I should meet so many

following instance of lack of good

'Snobbishness is not confined to one

or literary prctensions, it spreads from
village to city. 1t exists in sardine fac
tories and in palatial mansions; it is

as at dinners or conversation parties.
The links are close.
''One of Boston's oldest families gave
a reception. Two scions of other old
families attended, to whom the host
said: I'll introduce you to those ladies

COWARDLY SPANIARDS.
The Dispicable Conduct of the Viz
caJa's Crew at the Battle
of Santiago.

The contrast between the two nations
stands out very clearly in connection
with the Tizcaya, says ira Nelson Hollis
IL the Atlantic. The torpedo boat EricS-
son ran close alongside of her, and sen!
a small boat to take off all that were
alive Of her crew. A few boats from the
Iowa assisted. The Vizcaya was on fire
fore and aft; the ammunition on board
was exploding, and the guns that hal
been left loaded were going off one after
another in the intense heat, to say moth
ing Of the proximity of the shore. The
position of the little craft has been de-
scribed as perilous in the extreme. Ou"
men risked their lives repeatedly to
help their fallen enemy; but no sooner
were the Spaniards transferred to the
deck Of the Ericsson than they urged
immediate withdrawal without regard
to their comrades who had been left
behind. To the honor of our navy.
Lieut.. Ushur remained until every liv-
ing being had been rescued from the
burning ship. A similar scene was en-
acted around the two torpedo boat de-
stroyers. 1t was case of mad panic
on the one side, and of perfect GOODNESS
on the other. One officer OF the Viz
caya afterward stated on board the
Iowa that they were obliged to close the
gun ports on the disengaged side of the
ship, to prevent the men from jumping
overheard rather than face the Ameri-
can gun fire.

CRIMES OF COOLIES.

They are queer crowd, these coolies,

pariah dogs of their own cities in point
Of inability to hunt any prey save in
packs. I heard of an instance where
4 gang of them, employed as navyies
N the cutting Of a railway, killed their
overseer with shovels and fed into the
bush. Nobody was ever hanged for the
crime, because some 40 of them were in
:t-and that would have been rather
large consignment to condemn, even
in the far east, where human life is so
cheap.
There are 25O,OOO Chinese in Dang
kok alone, and they do not appeal to
one's cordial emotions-very much the
contrary And should this catch the

pie are born to different ends, and the
Chinese contempt of the European is
frequently justified by facts.

CATS PROTECT CHICKENS.
Three Semi-Wild Tables Pounce
Upon n Hawk That Invaded a
i'ouiIr, E:-d.

Y. C. Barnett, who lives near Media,
has in his possession the body of a
chicken hawk that was killed in Pc
culiar manner, reports the Philadel-
phia Record. Barnett is a general
farmer. but makes speciality of poul-
try raising. Since he has owned the
farm three old cats left by the former
tenant have hung about the place in a
semi-wild state. At first Barnett tried
to tame the animals, but they repulsed
all friendly overtures and took up their
abode in the barn. However, as they
did not harm the chickens they were
not molested.
The other Day, while Barnett was on
his barn roof replacing some shingles,
he heard a loud cackling in the yard
below. Looking down, he saw num-
bcr of his chickens huddled together
and seemingly greatly agitated. Then
he discovered large hawk just pre-
pairing to make a swoop. Barnett was
preparing to descend to the rescue
when the hawk made plunge at the
terrified fowls. The robber was lei
surely preparing to carry off chicken
when there was quick patter of feet
ard the three cats bounded into view.
The hawk made an effort to escape
with its prey, but the cats came to the
rescue in the nick of time. The hawk
made spunky resistance, but the COM
bined assault of the cats overpowered
him, although only after fierce bat
tie Barnett had reached the battle
field by this time,- land he rescued the
hawks body from the cats.

TALLEST IN The MORNING.
gy Evening Most People Have Shrunk
Half an Inch-HOw Men Ger
Into the Army.

"The singular fact that people are
about half an inch taller in the morning
than they are in the afternoon has en-
abled many fellow to slip into the
army" said an officer who has seen
good deal of recruiting services. Time
and again when the examinations were
being conducted at tolerably early
hour men have been passed in my PRES
ence who were barely up to the regula-
ton height, in fact, they were under
it a shade, and the thickness Of card
board would have resulted in throwing
them out. l am perfectly confident
that if these same men had been re-
measured just before taps in the even
ing they would have fallen so far short
that they would never by any possibll-
ity have been accepted. I have heard
i, said that man can put nearly an
irch in his height tg staying in bed

IN The ARCTIC CIRCLE.
The Possibilities Developed in the
Extreme North In Late
Years.

The close of the century discloses for
the first time in the worlds history
practical purpose to develop the re-
sources of the Arctic circle, says Les
lies Weekly. The discovery Of gold IN
the Klondike has sent food of immi-
grants into territory which was sup
posed to he almost uninhabitable. And
now scientists of Great Britain are max
ing careful investigation OF enormous
deposits of iron ore, some distance from
Stockholm, Sweden, within the area in
cluded in the Arctic circle. These new
ore fields are apparently of limitless
extent and Of the greatest possible
value to the iron industry of Great
Britain, which is rapidly finding itself
unable to compete with the cheap prod
ucts OF American ore. These Swedish
deposits are said to be among the most
valuable ever discovered on either con-
tinent.
Following the discovery of gold il:
Z Alaska, this may be taken as an indica-
ton that the mineral wealth Of the
Arctic regions may ultimately lead to
the establishment of large population
in those parts of the world nearest the
north pole, wl-:ch have hitherto been
little explored, because of their inhos-
pitable climate. An ingenious philoso-
pher has outlined the theory that the
precious metals of the world will be
found in greatest abundance in the
Arctic regions, because, when the world
was a motion mass, revolving on its
axis, the tendency of all metals was,
naturally, toward the axis or the poles,
and that when the plastic mass soidi-
fed the gold and silver were concen-
trated near the poles.

A DESERTED CITY.
Tale IF the Dissolution of Cne of the
StranGcst Towns on This
Continent.

In Nevada county, Cal. repose the
remains of one of the stran9eat towns
on this continent. Meadow Lake is the
American Pompeii, whose entombing
lava is the sum nit snnT storms. which
sometimes bury it % resI eeep oa a
le;.el, and whose anrun csnun,ng is
brought about by the s::anaer a:'a. says
tie New York Head.
It was in the summer of 1865 that the
name Meadow Lake was formally given
to the town, prev;ctS',:'; c2..cd Excel-
sior and Summit City. Until 1858 moth
ING had been done in the way OF pros
pecting that particular locality.
Henry Eartly, an Englishman, who
visited the vicinity in June, 1863, in
search of game and chanced to discove-
fragments of gold, impaired his discov-
cry to his friends. A company was
formed and soon after other companies
and the building OF city was started.
With the close of the fall OF 1865
The new city contained about $50
houses completed and number of 9TH
.,!s in course of construction. Then all
llcpes were blasted. The adventures
:iv.oke to the sad reality that, though
there was plenty of gold in Meadow
Lake, it was so combined with some
substance unknown to the metallur-
gists that it was effectually locked
from the hand of man.
All dreams, the black art, science
and metallurgy were set at naught.
One after another, as they abandoned
hope, the disappointed gold seekers
turned their backs on Meadow Lak.:
and went down the mountain.

FARMING IN THE SOUTH.

Tic l;iAt,,t ,journ,i Of "Wednesday
has an ar,ic!e on the situation of the
farmer. from Which We clip ll.c follos-
iue:
The farmer, as Sam Jones says, is

comprehension or control Of human
beings \ prominent man said that it

The conditions that control the result

Ing. never exactly alike tvo years in
succession Yet difficult as it is, the
problcp Of the farmers success must
be solved. Upon it the prosperity Of
all classes depends, and in the business
itself large majority Of the people 70
the south are directly engaged. This
question is worthy of the earnest and
sympathetic study of all classes, and no
one is without personal interest in the
subject.
With this view Of the situation The
Journal has Instituted searching in
vestiga,ion into the condition Of agri
culture in Georgia and the south. The
services of an experienced agriculturist
have been engaged, and the counsel Of
many more will be sought and laid be-
fore the public Leading farmers in
every county in Georgia will be consult

in other states will be brought into the
discussion. What is needed is the
practical suggestions of experienced
and successful men and in the multi
tude If such counsel wisdom will be
found. The journal earnestly invites
the attention of all thinking men, par
ticularly of men experienced in agricul-

which is the greatest before the people
of this section for solution. Concise
and pithy communications on this sub

ers are invited. )"
This is subject in which every body
has deep interest in common with the
farmer. And as the Journal says, there
is more advice dumped upon them than

theories do no good. The reform must
come from the farmers themselves,

APPROPRIATED HIS CLOTHES.
Rut the Soldiers Gave Them Back
and Cheered for the Young
Correspondent.

Here is one to the credit of Richard
Harding Davis. After the battle
heavy travelling bag or trunk was found
with no owner at hand to claim it, says
Il Nashville American correspondent.
Several negroes of the Tenth cavalry
regulars opened it and found variety
Of fancy shirts, trousers, stockings and
such like These they Immediately con-
Escated and began to bedeck them
selves with.
Shortly after Richard Harding Davis
came upon the scene from another part
ut the field. He saw he had been de-
spoiled, but entered 10 complaint. An
officer of the regiment, however. began
to make inquiries. He asked where
the clothes came from and was told.
Turning to Mr.. Davis he inquired:
Are these your clothes?" Mr.. Davis
Bowed in the affirmative. Then, men,
lou should be doubiy ashamed of your
conduct You not only did wrong in
,;5ening the trunk at all, but you have
made brave man your victim. When
we were fired upon from ambush by
the Spaniards Davis here was rightin in
front of our column pointing out the
SpaniarGs for US to shoot at. A SOL
dier was shot down by his side. He
picked up the gun and began firing i'm
mediately. He has just returned from
the pursuit. Take off those garments.

duct
There was cheer given for Richard
Harding Davis, which the big, broad

cident was ended.
