The Ubiouitous Flea.

She was a pretty and winsome little.
colonial lady of four summers, but, says
the, Cornhill Magazine, she began her,
first conversation with the gentleman
just out from England in this unprom-
ising fashion:
1.-THE feas bite me lot in the night
"Dear me, that is very sad" Then,
wishing to administer consolation even
in these trying circumstances, the gen.
tleman from England added, "Do they
bite you in the day time, too"
"No."
"Why not?"
"WelI, you see in the daytime they's
busy biting grandma"
Grandma lived in England. Then,
little by little, the visitor from that
country got at the little girls theory,
in which Imagination and geography
were queerly mingled. Knowing that
1t was night in England when 1t was
day in Australia, she had pictured the
flea as a wandering Jew, daily hopping
the world in pursuit of his laborious
livelihood.

A. T. sTEwAR1's CARPET WAR.

How the Merchant Started the Mills
at GIoversvil1e, N. Y.
With all his wonderful shrewdness.
A. T. Stewart, merchant prince occa-
sionally caught Tartar. Mr. Stewart
lived to see the decadence of the Amer
lean trade in foreign carpets, first large
ly undertaken by him in New York.
The manufacture of Administer and
moquette carpets by hand in foreign
countries was one of the slowest Of
trade processes. Two men and a boy
were employed at one loom, and they
could make but one and a half yards
a day, according to the New York
Times. Alexander Smith and his part
ner, Halcyon Skinner, Of Yonkers, in
vented loom that made eleven yards
day when attended only by a young
girl. This revolutionized the carpet
industry. Stewart, quick to perceive,
Immediately acquired control of the
output of Alexander Smith & Sons
Carpet Company, and through his enor-
nous dealings that concern grew to one
Of the largest of its kind in the world
The Smiths had little to say. Alex

along filling Stewards orders and in
creased their plant. Inasmuch as
Stewart had financed the company,
right along, he thought he owned it.
One day Smith Gt was in 1879 called
on Stewart at his store for funds. IF
you want any more money out of me,
you've got to. do something for It,"
said the merchant. 'I've been too
liberal with you, and I'm paying too,
much for your carpets. You must
come away down in your prices"
Smith said he would think 1t over.
The Sloanes, who had started in the
carpet business in 1S43 in small build
ing opposite the city hall, were not, up
to this time, Of great consequence in
the trade, but when Smith left Stewart
to think over money and prices he,
walked straight to the Sloane estab-
lishment and made dicker. The next
that the entire output of the Yenkers
mills had been turned over to the
Sloanes, and he was no longer carpet
king.
It was a severe blow to Stewards
business, as we'll as to his pride. For
revenge he built an extensive carpet
factory at Groversville, N. Y, with a
capacity of 100000 yards annually.
but by some strange perversity of fate.
he died on the very day that the first
roll came from his looms. At the same
time Smith quit him no one supposed
the Yonkers manufacturer had a dol
Lar he could call his own. His inde--
pendence proved that he was rich. And
when Warren B. died the other day the
world was startled to learn that the
quiet, unassuming, hard working
weaver had laid up fortune Of $780,
100000.

An Eastern paper tells Of two young
people who become engaged on purely
scientific principles. There was no
bother about love and all that kind of
tommyrot, but they had planned out an
ideal, platonic, scientific marriage, one
that the family physician could indorse,
one that was calculated to warm the
cookies Of the heart Of the psychologi-
cal laboratory. The thing was running
along like clock work when In stepped
one Of the old fashioned lovers the
kind father used to want to shoot at,
and science received a terrible short
arm jolt. The psychological laboratory
engagement was broken so quick II
sounded like a small boy nipping off
q hunk Of peanut candy with his back
teeth. Grandma will tell you that you
cannot improve much on the good old
fashioned .'courtin'," the sleigh rides,
the husking bees and the 'sred ear" In
the face of glories such as these, those
psychological laboratory methods
would not last fifteen minutes.

1t is not known just how long mos
quitoes can live, but their average life
Is much longer than is ordinarily sup
posed. Thousands Of them live through
winter, alternating or asleep in dark
places in barns or house cellars. In
sparsely settled localities, where they
cannot find such places for shelter,
they live through the winter in hollow
trees; and, even though the tempera-
ture may fall far below freezing, they
are not winter-killed, but on the ap-
proach of warm weather become ac-
tive again. Mosquitoes are frequently
seen flying about in the woods before
the snow has wholly left the ground.

A hundred pounds of ambergris has
been seized at Seattle as stolen prop
erty. The appraised value is $50 an
ounce, or $4,000 for the hundred
pounds. A hundred pounds of pure
gold would not be worth as much by
$4,000. And were a hundred pounds
of gold to be stolen at Seattle great
stir would be made about it. Amber
girls is scarcer than gold. It is more
of an uncertain quantity. 1t is harder
to find and harder to transport. 1t Is
found floating in Jumps in the ocean,
and occasionally in the intestines of
the spermaced whale. There are. how
ever, few sperm whales available, and
the Jumps Of ambergris have been
growing scarcer as the whales have
decreased in number.

CITY CROWDING.

It To an Important Factor I'm the
Present Growth Of Crime.
The modern crowding of the popula-
ton into cities is factor Of the first
Importance. Enthusiasts extravagant-
ly praise the virtues Of country popu-
lations, and as extravagantly dispar-
age the moral condition Of cities. This
excites contradiction, and in the con-
troversy the fact Is overlooked that
profound changes, some beneficial and
others pernicious, have been and are
being silently brought by the aggrega-
ton into cities of SO large part of
the population. We are entering upon
the third generation of hotbed city
life. The offspring of those whose oc-
cupations are sedentary, who use stim-
ulants, lead irregular and excited lives,
must, with few exceptions, suffer from
inherited irritability of the nervous
system. An abnormal strength and
eccentricity Of impulse must be the re-
suit, and this'is fostered by city life.
A lamentable change has passed over
the country with regard to the learning
Of trades. Most temperaments re-
Quire manual labor in the earlier years
of active life, and much exercise at all
periods. Labor unions determine the
number Of apprentices which may be
taken, and this number is SO small that
it is impossible for the large majority
Of growing boys to secure either the
knowledge of trades or the physical
and mental benefits of steady employ
ment. Counting rooms and shops are
crowded with applicants for every va
cant place, while thousands are left to
roam the streets, having neither trade,
profession, nor knowledge Of business.
The struggle for success in society,
finance, politics, literature, applied sci.
ence, and art grows more fierce as the
cities grow larger; the prosperous have

and the consequence is a steady pro
cession to the sanatorium or the pris

A FRONTIER MISSIONARY.


The Methodist Episcopal Church In
California recently held memorial ser
vices for William Taylor, the first mis-
sionary Of that church in the State.
"He is," wrote Charles Spurgeon, the
famous London preacher, 1.-THE Paul OF
the age, and his experiences in estab-
fishing Methodism on the frontier of
America, Australia and South America
have no parallel in church history"
The story of William Taylor's career
in the wicked mining camps and in San
Francisco during the early ffties is
more thrilling than fiction. Lawless-
ness was unbridled in the town. Muir
derers went without trial.
I'm all my travels over the world, "
Mr.. Taylor used to say, ST never have
seen such human degradation, such
woful immortality and recklesmess of
human life as in San Francisco in
1S49."
It took courage to speak to the
swearing, drunken crowds who spent
their time in gambling and intoxica-
ton. Many a time he was threatened
with personal violence. One of his
first efforts was made in Pat Donovan's
dance hall. A murder had just been
committed. The body was hauled into
an adjoining room, and the drinking,
cursing, gambling and dancing were
resumed as noisily as ever. Suddenly
Mr.. Taylor's stalwart frame appeared
In the door Of the place
Catcalls and yells Of derision greeted
the missionary; and one man drew his
pistol and told Mr.. Taylor to get out
or be shot. He stood quietly for few
moments, and then said:
81 have not come for trouble. If you
will let me sing few songs and say a
few words, I'm sure you won't regret
IT."
'Go aheady' some one yelled. Mr..
Taylor began to sing in his full, clear
voice some of the faailiar church
hymns. The crowd was quickly won
by the music.
"Go onr' shouted the men when he
stopped. Then he sang one or two
Scotch songs, and finally, getting up ON
the platform where the fiddler sat, he
spoke plainly and forcibly upon the
evil life his auditors were leading, and
they listened quietly.

time in prisons In Australia and New
Zealand and had been the terror Of

sober-minded concern; it was a
thoughtful sort of ranch, where ev-
erybody went about his work quiet. I
guess it was largely because the boys
was mostly old timers, given to argu-
ing about why was this and how come
that.
'Argue! Caesar! It was a regular

"Smithy was for the book, havin'
read it, and Chawley scorned it. The
argument lasted month, and as nei-

IN DISMAL SWAMP.

But Little Better known Now Than
When Washington Saw It.
The name Dismal Swamp" is a by
word everywhere, and legend has
grown up round it of dreary, boggy,
unknown region of snakes and dark,
damp thickets, where runaway slaves
fed for refuge. Frederick Street, in
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, in
telling the story Of this region, says
that 1t Is but little better known at
this day than it was $50 years ago,
when George Washington himself laid
out route through it
The swamp is old historically. The
first settlers at Norfolk and the region
round about knew of it as wild, i'm
passable bit of country full of game
and of valuable timber; cypress, so
good for making shingles; juniper,
black gum and beech. In 1928 Colonel
Byrd, while trying to establish the
boundary line between Virginia and
North Carolina, ran a survey across it,
working with the greatest difficulty
and making only mile day through
the thick growth. He it was who
named 1t The Dismal Swamp"
Later surveys and government maps
show that the wilderness contains
about 500 square miles of wood and
water, lying in a tract twenty miles
wide and forty-five long, and extend
ing twenty miles into Virginia and
twenty-f i've into North Carolina. The
soil Is sort Of rich, black vegetable
mold, dry and caky at some seasons
and saturated with water at others
The whole region is like a huge
sponge, alternately dry and wet; and
