The Way of the World

His youth was spent upon farm
In some baokwoods locality.
And so the city had charm.
a strong Potentially,
That seemed to urge him day and night
To seek It's great variety.
To leave the fields behind, and write
A drama Of society.
Now. Ind he been In city born.
Where crowds are really Hladuenlng.
Far from the waving wheat and corn
And sylvan silence giaddening.
1t would have been iust his caprice
To show his versatility
BY writing pastorals OF peace
And ballads of tranquility.
'Tis ever thnsl What inan can do
This is the rule lmmutable-
He contelnplatcs with sullen view
And deems the task unsuitable
While that OF which he knows the least
He tackles with ayldity-
He deems there is a fruitful feast
Where there is mos. aridity.
The man who's built to run mill
Would seek q berth congressional;
The one who's used to axe and drill
Would play us recessional;
The millionaire who deals In stocks
Has country, life propensitles;
The farmer. goading on his OK,
Would deal with trades lmmensilies.
The modern maiden is beguiled
By some absurd affinity"
The woman who could rear child
Is uping mascaiinity.
They all forget they must progress
In fields that are permitted them.
Nor strive from lie to WOO success
For which 1t never lifted them,

Let Uncle Sans Mail Boxes Alone

City boys have learned by long ex-
perience that they must not tamper
with Uncle Sam's mail boxes; but out
in the country the rural free delivery
boxes are something new, in most To-
calities, and many urchins are tempted
to have fun with them. The postofllce
department therefore issues the timely
warning that the punishment for in
juring these boxes or interfering with
their contents may be as high as $1,000
and three years imprisonment. That
would be paying dearly for little fur,
wouldn't it, boys9 Better let the mail
boxes alone.

much An a Name.

An Englishman who has just re-
turned from an extensive tour through
the east tells good story in which he
was one of the principals.
He was one of party at banquet
rendered to the maharajah Of Patiala,
at which nearly hundred guests, rep
resenting nearly every branch Of IN
dian life, were present. AS special
guest he was seated on the left Of the
Indian potentate.
During the meal he noticed that the
latter partook of some fine Cumber-
land ham, and. knowing that it was
contrary to the Indian caste rules to
eat any portion of pig, he without a
thought asked his highness how 1t was
he was eating ham.
The maharajah looked at his plate
then, turning round to his body servant
standing at the back Of his chair, said
what am / eatingY
The servant instantly replied:
Mutton, sahib." And without re
ferring to the incident again the maha
raiah continued his meal.
After the banquet the EnglishmaI
related the incident to an Indian judge
and the latter said:
"If that servant had said ham, h
would have been headless before TO
morrow morning. 1t is advisable no
to notice caste rules when you are will
natives of rank. k."-Pearson's

Laugh and Live.

Prince Jerome Napoleon was fond Of
telling the story of his scheme during
the Crimean war by which he kept up
the spirits of his men. The French
army was losing daily large numbers
OF men through the ravages of the
cholera. Marshal Canrobert sent the
order to Prince Jerome that he should
move his division to Varna. Jerome is
sued marching orders and added: Seek
out in every regiment all the actors,
comedians, clowns, conjurers and en-
tertainers. / will personally arrange
"a performance and present prizes to
the best entertainer" During the
whole of the retreat these perform
.ances took place for the edification OF
the division. Prince Jerome Is not
!. famous for any remarkable military
triumphs, but this one act must at
I least be put to his credit, for it was
undoubtedly due to this method OF
/ cheering up his men that his division
I could boast death roll at least three
| times as small as that Of any other.
These performances were the forerun'
ner Of the now famous Zouave theatet
| in the Crimea.

The Wax Insect,

Trees afford the birthplace and era.
die of the wax insect, scientifically
called COssus pela. In the early sprlng
the bark of the boughs and twigs be-
comes covered with brown pea shaped
scales, which can be easily detached
and which, when opened, reveal the
fiowery looking mass Of minute ami
mails, whose movements can Just be
detected by the naked eye. In May
and June, however, the scales are
found to contain a swarm of brown
creatures with six legs and two an.
tenna each. Some of the scales also
rontain the white bag or cocoon of a
small black beetle, which. if left undis-
turbed, burrows into and consumes
the scales. The Chinese say that this
beetle eats the little wax insects, and il
appears certainly the case that where
the parasite is most abundant the
scales fetch a lower price in the mar.

Lacemaking by Hand.

Making lace by hand is vel! de
veloped art in Paraguay. 1t was taught
the natives 200, years ago by the mis-.
sionaries and has been transmitted
from generation to generation till it is
now quite general throughout the re-
public. Some towns are devoted to
making certain kind of lace. In one
town of 5000 or 5000 inhabitants al
most all the women and children and
many of the men make lace collarettes,
handkerchiefs and ladies' ties. An
other town makes lace embroidery and
others drawn thread work, such as
centerpieces, try mates, teacloths and
doilies. The designs used in making
the lace are taken from the curious
webs. of the semitropical spiders that
are so numerous there. On this ac'
count it is called "nanduti," an Indian
aame which means spider web.

A story Of Charles jaime. Fox.

A gambling story is told of Charles
James Fox that rather reflects on his
honor He was one of the ardent ad-
mirers Of Mrs. Crewe, noted beauty
of her day. and 1t is related that a
gentleman lost considerable sum to
this lady at play and, being obliged to
leave town suddenly, gave Mr.. Fox the
money to pay her, begging him to apol-
ogize to her for his not having paid the
debt of honor in person. Fox lost ev-
cry shilling of it before morning. Mrs.
Crewe often met the supposed debtor
afterward and, surprised that he never
noticed the circumstances, at length
delicately limited the matter to him.
Bless mer' said he. II paid the mon.
ey to Mr.. Fox three months ago"
''Oh. did you. sir?" said Mrs. Crewe
good naturedly. Then probably he
paid me and forgot it."

Disastrous Morning Fire
No Water in Mains

A very disastrous fire occurred in the
southern portion of the city this morn
ing. The residence of Frank Milten-
berg, on the corner of Convent and
Gushing stretes, was completely de-
stroyed. The fire started from soma
unknown cause about 8 o'clock. No
one was at home at the time, and the
fire had made great headway before it
was discovered. .
The alarm. was sounded and the de-
partment responded with it's usual
alacrity. However, everything seemed
to be in an adverse condition at once.
Some time was consumed in getting
the caps off the plugs, and when the
hose was finally attached, it was dis
covered that the Convent street main
was perfectly dry. The hose was then
dragged to Stone avenue, a block
away, before water could be secured
In the meantime the fire was raging
| fiercely and the whole house was en-.
veloped in flames. 1t took some time
to extinguish the blaze after the tardy
| arrival of water.
The house and contents we're totally
destroyed. The furnishings were val
ued at $4,000 by Mr.. Miltenberg. A
large library of great value was alst
lost. The residence was owned by NJ
T. Carrillo. No insurance was carried
on either the house or the contents
The fire is thought to have been a piece
of incendiarism. No one was at hom,
when it broke out, and there was NJ
light or fire in the house at the time
The absence of water in the Conven
street main was piece of gross negh
gence on somebody's part, and it shoult
be investigated. Tucson's fire protec
tion was seriously questioned by peopI
at the scene.
