The hero in everyday life who is. al
ways ready to do his duty and some
thing more without expectation of
recompense or fame is IN inspiring
figure and happily not an infrequent
one. Such a man is Joseph Parry, q
veteran engineer, whose run is be-
tween Syracuse and Rochester. In
alighting from his locomotive for or
ders at Seneca Falls the other day he
broke his hip, and, Of course, found
himself in immediate need Of 4 sur
geon. But there was nobody else 10
take his place, so he insisted on be-
ing lifted back to his seat beside the
lever, and in defiance of the pain that
racked him he ran his train through
to Rochester almost on time. Hats
off to Joseph Parry.

It is said that, when Il man has
reached the age of forty-five or fifty,
he ceases to grow, that he is no longer
capable of new efforts, of initiating
fresh enterprises. That depends en-
tirely upon what the man has been
before that age, how he has used his
powers, whether he has kept his
mind flexible by contented effort, or
whether he has permitted himself to
be conterted with what he has
learned in youth. The true learner
never ceases to grow, even if his
physical powers wane. Growth is not
merely 4 question of increase of
strength or of mental alertness: but
it is quite as much ripening of the
nature, the development of Judgment,
wisdom, moderation, sympathy, and
quiet contemplation of The facts Of
life, observes the Christian Register.

Taking frogs for market as buci-
ness has so steadily increased during
recent years that, according TO the es-
Innate OF the United States Fish Com
mission, the annual catch in the coun-
try is but little less than 2,000O00
frogs, with total value to the hunters
OF about 100000 and a corresponding
cost to the consumers Of not less than
SlJ0,000. In I'LL sections Of the United
States frog hunting has been carried
on, in fifteen of the States to such II
eIten. that it ma be said to be Of
economic importance. So important
has the industry become-the United
States consuming five times the
amount Of frogs legs used in France
that the Fish Commission has for
years busted itself trying to devise
means for the artificial breeding of
frogs to be used for market. the

this was not done with the sane

A PARLIAMENT

The various students, statesmen
and other persons of note who
make things hum in Russia, says
the Philadelphia Times, until the
Cossacks appear and move the pre-
vious question, are reported to
have persuaded the Gear to grant
a constitutional government with a
parliament and all complete. This
news was not censored, and we,
therefore, surmise that it is a
piece of imaginative enterprise.
The Gear is a good man who
loves peace, and who inaugurated
the conference at The Hague to re-
duce the warlike disposition and
ornaments of Europe. Why he
should fly into the face of his con-
victions by establishing parlia-
ment and thus endangering the
drowsy quiet of his realm, no one
has yet explained. There is par
lament in Vienna, where the ink
stands are nailed to the desks to
prevent their use as arguments.
And Germany has Reichstag in
which it is contempt of Majesty to
express on s real op Mon. On
the Thames is another parliament
in which ore party is always ask
ing questions which the other party
declines to answer.
Then there are the French cham
bers, and last but not leas the ag-
gregation of orators In Washing
ton, d. c., all of which ought to be
a warning to the Gear against in
stituting body with talking rights.
If he wants really to free the coun.
try, let him try something besides
parliameuts.

THE Deming Headlight says that

about the discovery of oil at Dem

whole situation in a few words;
says that not one derrick has yet
been erected, that all the excitment
there is lies in the fact that few
men have taken up land where oil
is believed to exist and that some
eastern oil people believe the for
nation favorable to the existence
of oil.
