The Fitness of Thinas.

"A matter that has given me consld- erable concern during my more or less eventfuI sOjOurn in this vale of tears, % acknowledged Jasper knOz, the sage Of Piketown-on-the-Blink, ''is the fact that the great majority of otherwise sensible people fall down most lamen- tably when they attempt to dope out the true cause for their own failure to make good Far be 1t from my inten- ton to deliver q sermon upon this most Important subject, but past experience has taught me that oue of the main reasons why we all are not successful lies in the fact that We are prone to sidestep opportunity in order to shake hands with temptation.

MAKING MUSIC BOXES.
GrOat Skill and Meager Pay For the
 Experts of Geneva.

One big industry of Geneva, Swltzer- land, Is the manufacture of music boxes. Thousands of men, women and children are employed in the factories, one of which was visited by young American, who thus writes about the visit:
 An attendant invited him to take a seat. He did so,, and strains of de- lightful music came from the chair. He hung his hat on a rack and put his travelling staff In the stand. Music came from both rack and stand. He wrote his name in the visitors register, and on dipping his pen in the ink the music burst forth from the inkstand.
 The manager of the factory explain ed the process of making music boxes, a business which requires patience and nIcety.
 The different parts are made by men who are experts in those parts, and they do nothing else year in and year out
 The music is marked on the cylinder by man who has served several years of apprenticeship. Another man in. serts in the marked places pegs which have been filed to uniform length. The comb or set of teeth which strikes the pegs and makes the sound is ar- ranged by a man who does nothing else. The cylinder Is then revolved to see that every peg produces a proper tone.
 The most delicate work of all Is the revising of each peg. It is done by a workman who has a good ear for mu- sic. He sees that each peg is in its proper place and bent at the correct angle
 When the instrument Is in Its case an expert examines it to see that the time is perfect and good.
 The best workmcn-those who mark the cylinder and adjust the pegs-earn S1.S0 a day, after serving an appren- hceship of ten or twelve years. An ordinary workman earns $1 q day.-St Louis Globe-Democrat

sive business men who will put Ehe facts before the inquiring public in plain but unexaggerated, manner.
 To do this, and to do 1t in a way that will carry weight, it is necessary that each community of sufficient size and importance have a commercial body-either a cham bcr of commerce or a board or trade-to take advantage of every opportunity that is offered to ad- vance them along the road which they desire to travel, and Skagway is in this class, even though Ht- tie run down at the heel. We have the men to carry the work through successfully of those among us wlo have lived here for years and are conyersant with our needs and our capabilities, and within the past few months there has joined Us a man who represents rloneyed interests that are immense factors in the great financial eenterS ans whose contemplated operations in the north embrace the whole Of Alaska and the Yukon territory.
 This gentleman has signified his willingness to take hold and help in every way he can. Why not take up his offer and reorganize the old comm. rcial club or form new body under some other name, but whose activities will be directed along the same lines? In a few days Secvctary McPherson of the Alas ka Bureau of the Seattle chamber Of commerce will be here to talk over the matter of a semi-centenary "All-Alaska' celebration of the purchase of Alaska by the United States, to. which, if it materializes, there will come hundreds of promin- ent laen from the four quarters of the globe, and when the Victoria Of the Alaska Steamship Co. passen- ger fleet, steams into Skagway in a few weeks, on her return voyage from Nome, she will have on board the world-famed newspaper cores Qondent, Frank G. Carpenter, who, ia the few short hours he spent here on Sunday was so delighted with everything he saw that he will stop off with us for a short time on his return.
 We should be in a position to entertain these people and get them interested in us and our town, ill return for which they will give us publicity, and to do this effective Iy we mus. have a local body whose duty it is to look after visitors and furnish them with information up- on any subject directly affecting us as a community.

the principles that are cOncentrared'Tn the secretion of the venom glands.
 Venomous snakes are themselves ab- solutely venom proof Rattlesnakes dosed by injection with large quand- ties of their own or other venom have shown not the slightest i'll effects. An other remarkable fact Is that serpent venom is harmless to human beings or other animals if taken internally. The late Dr. $. Weir Mitchell found that one-fOurth of a drop of rattlesnake poison would kill pigeon If given by hypOdcrmiC injection. but pigeon fed with six drops q day for three success sive days suffered not at all in conse- quence.
 Professor Mangill, a pioneer inYesd- gator in this line, had an assistant who boldly swallowed all the venom that could be extracted from four large vlpers. No bad effects followed. The same negative result was noted by Professor Baird, at that time secretary of the Smithsonian institution, who ate the venom glands of rattlesnake. AS recently ascertained, serpent venom in such circumstances Is harmless, be- cause it cannot pass through the mu- cous membrane that lines the stomach, and 1t undergOes changes during di- gestion that allow 1t to enter the blood as an innocuous substance. - Every Week.

Tran For Quotation Experts.

If any one wants a catch question to spring on a gathering of self confessed literary sharps let him ask whence comes the quotation, "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. V This Is one of the six best sellers in the world of quotations, yet not one person in a hundred knows wEere 1t comes from. It is comparatively easy to guess the author, but almost t1pos' sible to find a person who can name the work.
