themselves and obtain a better stand

He has given much thought to the
subject of why they have made laun-
dry work a speciality here, and believes
he has found the reason.
when my countrymen first began to
come to this country" he said, "in any
numbers, mining was the great indus
try of California, and they drifted to
the mining towns. There, / suppose,
they were obliged to do their own
washing, and not being strong enough
for the heavy work of mining, they

At the Cambridge observatory, in
England, a new form of telescope has
been erected which possesses some
points of interest for the lovers of ce-
lestial photography, says Popular AS

trough of mercury. This trough is an
annular vessel, within which is a float
having the telescope mounted at it's
centre. Between the sides of the
trough and the float is a space about
half IN inch, which is filed with
mercury. About 125 pounds, or
rather o than a gallon of the liquid
is required to do the work. The per-

Bacteria of Physical Tatirue.

Professor Gautier, a distinguished
member of the Institut de France, has
advanced a startling theory on the
subject OF perpetual youth. IN isolat-
ing the bacteria of physical fatigue, he
has found that it Is a poison strongly
resembling ptomaine poison in nature.
From this Professor Gautier deduces
that fatigue can, by the use of disin-
f~ectants, be avoided like any other
poison, and consequently man, no
longer suffering from wear and tear,
need not weaken or age.

WINNERS MO LOSERS.

When men achieve success they try
To let the world become aware;
The winner holds his head up high
And passes with a splendid air.
When people fail they do not shout
Their failure to the world, but strive
While keeping men from finding out,
To still, somehow, keep hope alive
Men win and proudly tell it, while
The ones who fail still brayely smile,
And God be thanked that this is so,
Else as you hurried through the street
For each proud man that you should meet
thousand would be pale with woe.
