Hard Battles for Life.


On this little fleet of light craft hard
battles for life were fought. One was
half the time two feet under water.
On another a man went mad. His
mania took the form of attempted self
destruction. His companions kept him
from drowning himself. They cannot
tell how, in such sea, on such a craft,
they saved their own lives. Yet they
saved them and the life of the mad
man too. On still another raft were
IL persons, and every one was saved.
The man who was driven temporarily
insane was Frank Orrego, fireman.

FRENCH THRIFT.
Examples Fo1nd In the Parks and
Open Squares of Paris.

Open Squares of Paris.
There is 40 Better place to study
French frugality than in the parks
and open squares Of Paris. Go to one
OF the secondhand fairs held on the
outer boulevards. What in other coun-
tries would be cast aside as useless is
here exposed for sale, having been
carefully sorted over by ragpickers,
whose sole support is the rubbish
which you see-broken china, bits of
glass, pieces Of stone, old nails, old
pots and pans. old shoes, old combs
and brushes Does q woman need q
cup? Has she broken 4 saucer? For .
cents she can replace them. Is her lock
broken, her key lost? Behold thou
sand from which to choose. The poor
students may find their books, mothers
their children's shoes, says Donohoe's
Magazine.
Each house in Paris is provided by
the city with a large box. Into this the
servants throw all that is not needed
by the family, whether Of food or raj
ment. Every morning the chiffoniers
or ragpickcrs are privileged to search
through these boxes before the con-
tents are carted by the city to distant
fields, where the refuse is employed in
fertilizing the soil. From the homes Of
the wealthy the poor receive many ar
ticles Of real value. Fifty thousand
ragpickers, say the statistics, realize
$4,000 daily from their pickings.

Chinese Dup1icity.

a south sea islander said Of his race,
"As soon as we open our mouths a lie
is born" The Chinese acknowledge
without shame the same Of themselves.
It may be true among western nations
that the affairs Of life hinge upon con-
fdence," but in the east, and especially
in China, they hinge upon suspicion.
There are few Chinese who attach any
Importance to keeping an cement.
Most OF them are like the man who,
being accused Of having broken his
promise, replied that it was Of no con-
sequence, as he could make another
just as good. The Chinese say that
one should never refuse request in an
abrupt manner; on the contrary, he
should grant it in form, although with
no intention to DO so in substance. Put
him off till tomorrow and then until
another tomorrow. Thus you comfort
his heart" they say.

The Printers Devil.

The. familiar term printers devil"
as applied to the boy Of all work about
a printing Office, Is said by the Fourth
Estate to have originated with Aldus
Manutius. He employed small negro
boy, curiosity in those days in Eu-
rope, who became known as the Lit
tie Black Devil" Printing was then
mystery, and a superstition spread that
Aldus was invoking the black art and
that the negro boy was the embodi-
mcnt Of Satan. TO correct this opinion
Aldus publicly exhibited the black boy
and declared: BE it known to Venice
that l. Aldus Munutius, printer to the
holy church and to the doge, have this
day made public exposure Of the print
er's devil All those who think he is
not flesh and blood may come and
pinch him."

HISTORIC STAGECOACH.
Preserved In the Postal Museum at
the National Capital.


One Of the most interesting relics Of
obsolete postal service to be seen at
the museum in Washington, says the
Washington Post, is an old time Rocky
Mountain combination passenger and
mail coach, built in 1868. This was
among the first of its kind to carry the
mails in Montana. the route Of this par
ticular coach being from Helena to
BoZeman. the trip consuming q week.
The residents along the same section
now receive four mails daily. The
coach was donated to the museum by
s. s. Uuntlcy. general manager of the
Yellowstone Park Transportation COM
pany. 1t was captured by Indians in
1877 and recaptured after a hot pur-
suit by General Howard. Many dis
tinguished persons have travelled in it,
among them being General Garfield, be-
fore he was president; President Ar
thur, on a visit to Montana in 1888,
and General Sherman, on tour of in
spcction in 1877. The latter was q pas
senger when the coach made the dis
tance from Fort Ellis to Helena, 1OS
miles, in eight hours, six horses being
the team, with frequent relays.
This antiQuated affair on wheels is
the simon pure, typical stagecoach of
the Beadle dime novel. The James
brothers and the Fords may have en-
riched themselves by looting this iden-
teal relic of the west. There are a
front and rear boot, the former, under
the drivers seat, being the repository
Of Uncle Sans mail bags, the rear boot
serving to carry baggage. Heavy
leather springs and iron tires to the
wheels half an inch thick enabled the
vehicle to withstand the rough usage
to which it was subjected. With ca
pacity inside for nine people, others
riding on top and beside the driver,
with slots in the sides Of the coach
through which rifles could be aimed, it
seemed evident that q knight Of the
road had to be of reckless mold to
tackle one OF these once week "ex-
presses"

SoUau Advice.

Young men, you are the architects OF
your own fortune. Rely on your own
strength Of body and soul. Take for
your guiding star self reliance. Sub
scribe on your banner, "Luck is fool;
Pluck is hero" Don't take too much
advice; keep at your helm and steer
your own ship, and remember that the
great art Of commanding is to take
fair share Of the work. Think well Of
yourself, strike out, assume your own
position. Haul potatoes in a cart over
a rough road. and the small ones go to
the bottom. Rise above the envious
and jealous, fire above the mark you
intend to hit. Energy, inyincible deter
mination. with a right motive, are the
levers that move the world. Don't
drink; don't smoke; don't swear; don't
deceive; don't marry until you can sup
port a wife; be in earnest; be self re-
liant; be generous; be civil; read the
papers; advertise your business; make
money and do good with it; love your
God and fellow men; love truth and yir-
tue; love your country and obey its
laws.-Exchange.

Clubs, Cabs and Gout.

A physician talking to reporter OF
a New York paper asserted recently
that gout is rapidly increasing in that
city as a disease prevalent among the
wealthy classes, the increase being al
together out Of proportion to the
growth of population. He claims that
this is largely attributable to the in
crease Of clubs, fashionable restau-
rants and cafes and also to the gen.
eral use Of cabs, even when the dis
tance from the club to the home IS
only a few blocks. If people would
take more active exercise in the open
air, they would run less risk from
heavy meals. He says that rich foods
are more responsible for gout than
wine, although practically the two
usually go together.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Never give poultry water in the morn
ing before feeding.
AL the stimulants breeding fowls
need is wholesome food and drink II
proper quantities.
To fatten the cockerels rapidly, con-
fine them in close quarters and feed
cornneal cooked in milk.
Short legged fowls fatten quickly,
Long legs are hard to fatten. Those
first hatched fatten quickest in q
brood
Fowls seldom tire Of milk. They
may eat too much grain or meat, but
milk in any form is palatable and
healthy.
The roosting poles should be on
level with each other. This will pre-
vent the fowls all trying to roost on
the top perch.
4 fowl or animal in which an excel
lence is constitutional is apt to trans
nit all this excellence in all the de-
veloped power and beauty to its prog,
eny.
In selecting for breeding the pullet
should be at least a year younger than
the cock. This will conduce to the
strength and good health Of the off
snrino
