Ultimate Fate Of Man

We have from two distinguished
sources rear and forward views OF
man, and it Is to be regretted that
from niether standpoint is there much
reason why the highest Of creation as
he exists to-day should vaunt his pride.
The past robs him Of part of his glory,
and the future holds the awful pos
sibility of his reduction to second
place in the animal kingdom.
First we may travel back a few
thousand years with the famous Assy-
riologist, Prof A. H. Sayce, whose
words have the weight of authority. In
reading the facts of the ancient monu-
ments he finds that the Oldest inhabi-
tants were really very gifted persons.
Egypt and Babylon had their literary
activities, their great Libraries and
their strenuous politics. I'VE have
learned many things Of late years
from archaeology" he writes; but its
chiefest lesson has been that the age
of Moses. and even the age of Abra-
ham, was almost as literary an age as
our own" OF course the writer's Of
those times did not have to send re-
turn postage on their manuscripts

To Subdue the Furnace

The local Society of Fine Arts has
started its fall classes in furnace-craft.
There is popular opinion that all
that it is necessary to do in the way
of running the cellars coal eater is
to throw on the diamonds, let the fire
get well under way, shut it up, shake
it down at night and empty the ashes
Sunday morning. These are the very
crude ideas Of immature thought.
The furnace, like the locomotive,
must be petted, groomed and cared
for by furnacier who makes it a
labor OF love, or he will never get out
of 1t the quid pro quo to which the
house is entitled. Quid pro quo is
Latin for that variety of hot heat
which, like that letter, is longed for
but sometimes never comes. Heat is
funny thing. 1t is just as well salts
fed to go up the chimney or out into
the cellar as into the drawing-room or
bathroom. And there is always lin
gering around on the outside of the

HE SAW 1T FIRST.

Convincing Argument Produced in
Youthful Debate.
Jim and Fred, brothers of six and
four years Of age, we're fond of argu-
ments between themselves. They
were arguments that never went be-
yond the wordy stage, but on occasion
became somewhat heated
They were out one day with their
nurse when they happened to pass an
did house that was landmark in the
neighborhood. instantly the spirit of
dispute was aroused. Said Jim the
elder: Il saw the house first"
Fred picked up the gage of battle
promptly and replied: mo, you
didn't; saw it before you did"
mo, you didn't" persisted Jim. Il
saw 1t before you were born, cause
I'm the Oldest than you and passed by
here fore you were born"
This was convincing even to Fred's
infantile mind, and for sometime he
was silent. Then after a pause he
announced triumphantly: q don't care
If you are the Oldest, saw it before
you. When I was dust | blew by
this house and saw it"
Jim was silent-New York Tribune.

The Aztecs of old we're not only
great soldiers, but also diligent culti-
vators of the soil. and had acquired
considerable proficiency in agricul-
ture, although they had no horses,
oxen or other animals of draught. To
this day the men earn their living
chiefly as day laborers in the fields
now owned by the Mexicans. The
staple product now as of yore is the
maize, and next to it the maguey or
agave, the sweet sap of which is the
pAhcipal material for the famous Mex
lean pulque. Some species are culti-
waited as vegetables. others for the
sake Of their leaves which yield 3
strong fiber that can be woven into

Traits Of the Aztecs

Like all southern Indians, their
complexion is of ruddy chocolate
brown, and they are not particularly
good-looking. Most of the women
now have large hands and feet, prob
ably the inheritance of generations Of
hard workers. And they are strong.
In the warehouse of a wine merchant
an Aztec porter was seen to take
cask of claret on his back and carry
it quite a distance. The load certain
ly weighed not less than 400 pounds,
and no white man would have thought
Of lifting it. The law requires the
people in the cities to forsake the
Indian breechcloth and poncho, and
assume the regulation garb Of the
poor working class of Mexico-the
wide, loose trousers of cotton cloth or
manta, with jacket to matcn-but the
breechcloth is worn outside Of the
trousers and thereby replaces the civ
ilized suspenders.-Southern Work
