Proper Percentage of Right.
Baltimore Herald.

Mr.. John w Gates may be satisfied with
trying TO be right 81 per cent of the time
but the young men at the Industrial school
before whom he uttered this epigrammatic
remark should not be allowed TO regard this
as a wholesome bit of advice. The proper
course is 10 try 10 be right 100 per cent of
the time. This may result in being right
only 81 per cent OF the time, and being
right that percentage OF the time is a great
deal better than not being right at all But
intentions TO be right ought never go below
the 100 per cent. mark.

old Geography of Illinois.

Illinois is always classed as a north
ern state which is proper, FORTS north
ern boundary is on the same parallel
as Windsor, Canada. In spite OF this
classification. however, Cairo, at the
southern extremity of the state, lies
on the thirty-seventh parallel of lati'
tude, and this parallel forms the orth-
ern boundary of Texas, Indian terri.

iona. 1t runs through the state OF Vir.

Our Sensitive Spots.

Most of us have sensitive spots, or
sore spots, which we guard very Jeal-
ously. They may be caused by ugliness
of face, deficient education, lack OF
culture or manners, timidity or ignor'
ance of etiquette; but, whatever they
are, we do not like to have them UNI
covered, irritated, or paraded before
the world; and we resent it by with
drawing our friendship, regard or re-
spect from those who offend in this
way, and who thus make their presence
dreaded. We instinctively like tact'
full people, because with them we are
not all the time on nettles. afraid that
they may uncover the skeleton OF the
past, or rake up some bit of unfor'
tunate family history, or touch any
other of our sore spots. We like to be
with them, because they are agreeable.
Their words do not CRATE upon our
nerves, or irritate our sensitivness.-

GENERAL VIEW OF MoMoroMBo. A FAMOUS FIRE SPLITTER.

Strung closely along the line are
score or more of dead little vol

pushing their shoulders high above
the others. Then comes Coseguina

a most quiet mountain ever since, in
1886, it burst and startled by III
noise even the City of Mexico, near
ly thousand miles away. Through
three days the hammering of it's eX
plosions terrified four republics, and
in that time the volcano covered
three republics with pail of ashes
that, over much of Honduras at least
was inches in depth.
It would be tedious, and useless, ia
attempt to count all the volcanoes
which dot the line between Cose
guina in Nicaragua and Colima in
Mixico, for they are too many, and
the once savagely fiery hearts Of
most of them are dead and cold. But
from Colima, now threatening vio
lence, eastward to the shore of the
bay of Campeche is short arm OF
the mighty Andean cross, the only
east and west range Of volcanoes in
all America. In that arm are sci
seven great volcanoes, the grandest
being Popocatepetl, 1890 feet in al
titude.

belched lava and steam and dust

Little injury has been done by
earthquakes in that region. It is
true that Leon. in Nicaragua, has

THE JUDGE KEPT HOUSE.
How HIS Sympathetic Feelings Were
Touched and He Helped n Com
vivial Sufferer.

"You are charged" said the magis-
trate, with being drunk and disorder
ly. What have you to say for your
self?"
The look of detection upon the pris-
oner's face visibly deepened, but ne
answered nothing, writes ALFRED j.
Waterhouse, In Judge.
"You were advancing down Fourth
avenue. stepping high in order to get
over the pavement. You were an
nouncing in high falsetto, which you
fondly imagined to be tenor, that you
were not go ho' till NOR When you
were asked If you were having good
time you responded, 'Fiersh!' What
have you to say in your own behalf?"
At last the trembling prisoner spoke.
"Judge," he said. fare you married

"Keep house?"
"I do"
Judge, you can understand. My
wife has commenced toto clean

A wave Of deep emotion swept across
the mobile countenance of the magis-
trate before he spoke again.
"Poor wretch" he then said, Il
would help you If I could, and per-
chance can. You may 60 up for ten
days"
Grateful tears flowed down the
cheeks of the prisoner as he was led
away.
Saved" he muttered. "Saved! BY
the time the ten days are up the house
will be cleaned, and in the meantime
Maria will never miss me-"
His appeal had not been in vain; the
Judge also had lived and loved and sui

Then come many mountains OF little
less height, before Turrialba rises, o

which stretches 325 miles to the north

Pelee and La Soufriere, the destruc-

Within sight of the $500 people who
dwell in San Jose are the peaks of the
volcanoes of Barba, 1920 feet, and OF
Poas, $3.50 feet in altitude. Poas car
ries in its crater q little lake, such as
was in Pelee until, perhaps, some seam
in the rock opened to let the water to
the fires raging beneath, and thus in
an instant made of pretty and peace
full pond the means of the most awful
destruction man has known since the
fatal day of Atlantis.
Tenorio and Miravalles, La Vieja and
Orosil are near the line, before it
touches Lake Nicaragua. There it
masses closes to the volcanic island OF
Solentiname, near the head of the Rio
San Juan and the line of the pr posed

MADEIRA and the perfect cone of the
volcano of Ometepe, then through FL
Zapatero and that vast ruin which, in
q sudden rage, hurled its entire roof
nearly or quite ten miles, to fall in
fragments and make in the lake reef
Of islets, some of which afford farms
for those who dwell in contentment on
those proofs of the power of the most
nrodigious and destructive force this
world has known.
Following the line one sees to the
left the south wall of another volcano,
a vast low crater, burnt, desolate,
living south of the ancient Indian town
of Masaya, which dreams away its hot
and dusty days at the edge of another
crater, in which is lake of pure wa

the town. A dozen miles westward is
the capital city of Managua, nesting
like a hen in not and dusty roadway,
at the edge of Lake Managua, and at
the foot of the tiny.volcano of Tiscapa.
Behind the wall of the crater, only
200 or 300 feet high, is a deep pool Of
strongly alkaline waters, in which the
dirty linen of the town is washed.
The steamer which carries one from
Managua to Momotombo, 30 miles
along our line, skirts the point of

WORK IS RESUMED.
Miners and Operators Agreement
Starts Mines.

The coal miners strike which has
threatened to spread over the neigh
boring counties during the past few
days has apparently blown over. The
trouble has finally been settled and
nearly all the miners returned to
work. The trouble arose out of the
miners demanding that shot firers be
put on and shots made once day. In
the Oskaloosa Mining Co.'s mines the
demand was made that these be paid
entirely by the company, and in the
other mines it was demanded that the
company pay half the expenses.
1t is estimated that there were about
1 800 miners in Mahaska county who
quit work, the o. O. & M. Co. alone
having about 800 out. The mines at
Hooking, Beacon, Evans and this city
were obliged to shut down and the
strike seemed to be having serious
effect. Secretary j. P. White and
other officers of the association con-
sidered the demands made by the
men and finally proposed settle
ment involving slight concession on
both sides. The proposition was ac-
cepted and it was arranged that the
mines should begin work Immediate
ly, shot firers being put on at the ex-
pense of the miners and the shots to
be fired twice day.
The union has ordered the men to
begin work and the mines at Hooking
are running to-day. Secretary White
was in Beacon Saturday morning and
it is thought the mines there will
open Monday. Satisfactory settle
ment has been made in the Little.
Hoover Co. mine and arrangements
made to resume work Monday. The
Evans mines were stopped for only
one day and are now running again.
With the exception of the Beacon
mines the strike seems to be with
drawn and the men are ready to go
back to work. The strike is confined
chiefly to Mahaska county and
everything seems promising for a
complete settlement by Monday.
