DON'T BE "a Second Glass Man.

You can hardly imagine a boy say
ing: Il am going to be a second class
man. | don't want to be first class
and get the good jobs, the high pay.
Second class jobs are good enough for
me-" Such boy would be regarded
as lacking in good sense if not in SAN
ity. You can get to be a second class
man, however, by not trying to be a
first class one. Thousands do that all
the time, so that second class men are
a drug on the market, remarks Sue
cess.
Second class things are only wanted
when first class can't be had. You
wear first class clothes if you can pay
for them, eat first class butter, first
class meat and first class bread, or, if
you don't, you wish you could. Second
class men are no more wanted than
any other second class commodity.
They are taken and used when the
better article is scarce or is too high
priced for the occasion. For work
that really amounts to anything first
class men are wanted.

Mandalay has it's own sky, soft and
gray and incurving like a tent, with
white cloud lines that seem meant for
scrolls IL one could read 1t is the
Very Sacred City, the city of contem-
plation, the city of all the monks. A
thousand pagoda bells give tongue to
the wind there when the sun goes
down; crumbling thousand more give
up to time the testimony of outworn
things.
1t lies in curved arm of blue hills
and something broods over it with So
licftude. This you suspect from the air
of the place and the way the shrill
talk of the parrots and the complaint
Of the goats and the laughter of the
people come to you wherever you are
Eitting. Afterward you go out, as
did that morning with the commission

the low gray sky is caught up, the
square of the dark red crenellated
walls of the old royal city, three miles

parallel clear moat thinking back at

over land above the government of In

some spirit that bends in affection over

Seven rooted kiosks stand at inter
walls over the gates in the wall-they
are called pyathat. but they strike the
eye like peaceful conclusions-and low
white stone bridges raised in the mid
die span the moat. The buttresses of
the gates are painted deep gray and
white, and the bank that slants steeply
from the wall to the water has here
and there q low, twisted, spreading
tree on it, purely for decoration. You
may stop at corner and look two
ways along the rejecting water, with
bridge after bridge receding across,
and pyathat after pyathat diminishing

white vista so picked out and finished
under the quiet light slipping adorably
into the near blue of the hills.

GULF STREAM MARKS.
The Course of the Flow Through
the Ocean Plainly Indicated.

The Course of the Flow Through
the Ocean Plainly Indicated.
The color of the stream is percepti-
bly, deeper blue than that of the neigh
boring sea, this blueness forming one
of the standard references of the nau-
tical novelists. The depth of color is
due to the high percentage of salt con-
tanned as compared with the cold green
water of higher latitudes, observation
having shown that the more salt held
in solution by sea water the more in
tensely blue is its color. Thus even III
eXtratropical latitudes we sometimes
observe water of a beautiful blue col
or, as for instance, in the Mediterra-
mean and in other nearly landlocked
basins, where the influx of fresher wa
ter, being more or less impeded, the
percentage of salt contained is raised
by evaporation above the average, says
the National Geographic Magazine
Another important fact in connection
with the stream is it's almost tropical
temperature, due to the fact that it's
high velocity enables it to reach the
middle latitudes with very little loss
of heat. Upon entering it's limits the
temperature of the sea water frequent
ly shows a rise of ten degrees and even
fifteen degrees. 1t was this fact that
gave to the stream in the later years
of the eighteenth century and the ear
lier years Of the nineteenth an impor-
tance in the minds of navigators that
it no longer possesses. In those DAYS
the chronometer, invented by Harri-
son in 1865, was still an experiment
Instruments were crude and nautical
tables often at fault.
The result was that the determina-
tion Of the longitude was largely a
matter of gueSSWork, a vessel after a
voyage from the channel to America
often being. out of her reckoning by de-
grees instead of by minutes. The idea,
first suggested by Benjamin Franklin,
that the master of vessel, by observ-
ing the temperature of the surface wa
ter, could tell the moment of his entry
into the gulf stream and could hence
fix his position to within a few miles
was hailed with delight.
The method was published in 1890
by Jonathan Williams in a work
lengthily entitled "Thermometrical
Navigation: Being series Of expert
ments and observations tending to
prove that by ascertaining the relative
heat of the sea water from time to
time the passage of ship through the
gulf stream and from deep water into
soundings may be discovered in time
to avoid danger" In this work he
makes patriotic comparison of the
gulf stream to a streak of red, white
and blue, painted upon the surface Of
the sea for the guidance of American
nayigators.

THE WORLD INTERESTED.

dispatch from London states that
the black savages of South Africa are
committing depredations on the Beers
who are returning to their devastated
farms. The English armed the Kaffirs
during the war, and disarmed the Beers
in the treaty of peace. People who
live on the frontier in this country
know what it is to be unprepared for
defense in the vicinity of bloodthirsty
savages.
1t will be terrible consequence of a
war already terrible enough if the
Beers are left to reinstate themselves
without the means of protection
against the savage blacks who dwell
SO near them and who are always ripe
for barbarity in all it's forms. These
splendid Dutchmen are returning TO
the ruins of their former homes, hop
ing to rebuild a civilization which has
been destroyed by three years of ra-
pine and bloodshed. They are gather
ing together what is left of their scat
tered families and preparing to begin
anew the struggle for existence which
they had conducted with such patient
heroism and such amazing success up
to the time of England's piratical in
vasion. And now if they are to be
left at the mercy of the black savages
because England fears to restore their
weapons, it will be crime greater and
more Infamous than any of which they
and their forefatheps have ever yet
been made the victims.
The disarming of the Beers was an
abominable act, even on its superficial
merits. They had surrendered of their
own accord after resistance without
parallel in history for valor, efficiency
and devotion. To such warriors it
would have been safe to extend the
highest generosity. Even had they
been returning to sheltered homes in
a land secure from savage invasion, it
would still have been wise as well 40
magnanimous to leave them in possess
sion of the arms which they used so
| splendidly in the sacred cause of pa
triotism, but had never dishonored by
single baseness. They deserved that
tribute to their bravery and good
faith. But to disarm them, under the
circumstances as we understand them,
was both cowardly and wicked. The
British authorities can not protect
these lonely and remote farms. They
might at least have furnished the
Beers with the means of protecting
! themselves.
1t is hard to believe that the British
will persist in their appalling policy,
now that it's inevitable fruits are be-
ginning to appear. The record is dark

Birds, Egg. Too Much For Science.

Birds Eggs Too Much For Science.
1t is not often that science acknowl-
edges herself at fault III an apparent
Iy simple matter. but she frankly does
so in regard to the color and marking
of large proportion of birds eggs.
A reason there must be for their in
finite diversity; it cannot be an ps-
thetic one and all we can say. with
any confidence is that the ever per-
vading instinct of distrust is probably
exhibited in eggshells as in more inn
portant things, and the main idea in
their scheme of colorati0n has been
the securing of safety from many enc
mics by harmonizing them with their
surroundings. But it is a scheme full
of perplexing exceptions. which any
one can study for himself.-Pall Mall

Preachinw MONKEYS.

The author of The History OF Bra
Zil'' tells Of IL species of monkey called
preachers" Every morning and
evening these monkeys assemble in
the woods. One takes a higher posi-
ton than the rest and makes signal
with his fore paw. AT this signal the
others sit around him and listen. When
they are all seated. he begins to utter
a series OF sounds. When he stops
these cries. he makes another signal
with his paw, and the others cry out
until he makes third signal, upon
which they become silent again. This
author, Mr. Miregrove, asserts that he
was a witness to these preachings.

The bank, which stands in three par

and, as the current price OF land in the
vicinity works out at f1,000,000 an
acre, it is easy to form an idea of the
money value of England's wealth. The
ratable value is about $1,000 a week.
