 A mans life is full of crOs-
 ses and temptations. He comes into this world without
 his consent and goes out
 against his will and the trip
 between the two is exceed
 ingly rocky. The rule of con-
 trarles is one of the most i'm
 portant features of the trip.
 When he is little the big girls
 kiss him, but when he is grown the litte girls kiss him. If he raises large family he is a chump, but if he raises a small check, he IS a thief. If he is poor, he is bad man ager; if he is rich, he is dis honest. If he's Tn politics, it's for pie; if he's cut of poll itics you can't place him, and he's no good for his country. If he cusses it is for show. If he dies young, there was a great future ahead of him; if he lives to sn old age, he has missed his calling. He is in trOduced into this world and to the next by the same pro- cess. The road is rocky, but man loves to travel it.-Ex

Abe Ruef and NJ a V

Abe Ruef and NJ a 70 r Schmitz are accused of having footed the city of San Fran cisco, and the instruments through which the graft was perpetrated acknowledge their participation in the theft and make the conviction of two rogues foregone conclu- sion. A parallel case, wherein Democracy was mulct and the free and untrammeled ballot" perjured. now Occu- pies the attention of the gen. eral public. Prominent un- der the limelight is Theodore Roosevelt, "the choice of the people" the alleged bene- hciary of the subornation of honor, where, in considera- tion of tainted money, men were persuaded to abandon conviction and embrace the opportunity presented through

Blind Mems Dreams,

One of the most intelligent inmates
of blind asylum, who came into the
world blind. says that he never dreams
of the things he has read about and
never dreams of any thing or person
that he has not in some way come in
personal contact with. - dreams of
music, of the voices of persons he
knows. Of such incidents as might
happen at the home or in some place
In which he has actually been, but
never of incidents in other places or in
other lands. Even although he has
read descriptions of localities, of nat
ural beauties, of the appearance Of a
street or city, no idea of what they
look like comes to him in the fancies
of his sleep. There is a class of blind
people who become blind when quite
young. Such blind people never dream
Of any scene or object except those
which have remained in the memory
from what they actually saw before
they became blind.-Pearson's Weekly

of fish in inclosed waters. For many
years there was open mouthed wonder
over the perch. Dream and crayfish

Macquarie river, in New South Wales.
In some cases the. water had scarcely
settled after the rain had filled the
dam than the fish were observed. and
