It scums strange to me that men will go to Alaska and contentedly freeze and dig all day In a mine—not of their own, but for wages—and not feel so greatly abused or unhappy; that they will swing an axe all day In a forest and live on baked beans and bread without feeling like martyrs; that they will gu to sen nnd grub on hard tuck iind salt purk und flsb without complaint iind then will turn Anarchists nn the snine fare in the East, lt seems ways open.

Eagles occasionally und ravens frequently reach tho ngo of 100 years and swans have been known to live 300 years. A tortoise has been known to live in; years. Efforts have been made to connect the rapidity of the pulse beat with longevity, but no logical conclusion can be reached, as will be seen from the fact that the pulse of a lion beats •10 times ;i minute; that of a tiger, 96 limes; of a horse, 40 times; of n wolf, 45 times: of a fox. -18 times; of a bear, .'{n times, and uf an ouide IfiiJ times.

HAVING HENS There Is a gulden opportunity ueeu- slonnlly to boom a certain variety nf fancy poultry, especially a new une, but this requires experience, capital, success in breeding and mating, and the winning of blue rihhuns wherever one shows his fowls all uver tbe country. Then record prices muy be asked and received, and guud profits made. Hut this is nut the main brunch of the industry; n exists mainly for people who* have a hobby or fad and can afford to gratify a personal desire for the best by paying a big price for fancy chickens. Uut the backbone **f the poultry business, after all, lies In the commercial end of tbe thing, and that is what is usually meant by the bare term, "the chicken business." Millions and millions of common eggs and chickens are produced for every one aristocrat that proudly plumes himself lu tho exhibition ball. People must Imve their eggs for breakfast and their chicken. to eat, and with the Increasing scarcity ami high price uf cattle and wild game there is an ever-growing demand for guud poultry nnd eggs, ai present we are forced to import large quantities of these food stuffs every year, which might be produced ;il llwine al a saving to the consumer ami a profit to the producer. In ihis branch uf tho business there are always opportunities for one pos* Bes'sod of stlck-to-It-lveness and a liking for th*' business. But, frankly, poultry keeping Is never a get-rich* quick scheme, nor are tho profits ever strictly enormous, The man who is content with a moderate beginning ami a fair return on his invest men! of iiini, labor, and capital will eventually find poultry keeping all he could reasonably desire financially, besides be* Ing healthful employment. There Is no dilficult or mysterious knowledge necessary fur success with poultry. The "trloks of the trade" nre open to all who observe uml think However, thOSQ Who have failed ill everything else nml try poultry raising as :i lust resort are likely to fail with poultry as weii. while those who think li is un "easy business"—merely throwing oul f i and gathering eggi no«-d only invest in it to learn their mlstnl ■• There is pleasure and more or less profit In n small (lock uf chickens for almost everyone with a llttlo > ird room ami half uu hour or more of span nn- each day.

Putting on uu appearance of masterly calmness, the passenger looked at the aviator. Incidentally he noted that all the paint had been worn off where his hand grasped the stout wooden brace. Someltieth grip. lie did not seem alarmed. Levers in hand ho was slanting slowly toward the earth, a soggy, sedgy stretch of swamp along tlie river witli Just a fringe of hard ground close to the bunk of the stream. But the ground came nearer and nearer, and lt became apparent that a landing would be made, By this time the machine was within thirty feet of the ground and bended at such ;i long slant that it was certain there would be tiu "hitting" the ground. Not knowing anything was wrong and seeing no reason lo be scared, the passenger did not grab the stanchion again.

MODERN DANDIES .More thun u century hus gone since the kisi f.f the Macaroni luld aside his coat of mixed silk, bis pink satin waistcoat, white silk stoeklnga with pink clucks, and pink satin shoes with large pearl buckles. The dandy of the twen- lentury does not strut on red- heeled shoes, with his clouded cane dangling from bis wrist, like tbe beau of the Restoration; nor does he adorn his shirt-bosom With the fine Mechlin lace, and leave u wake of perfume behind him as he swaggers along Pall Mall, like the "pretty fellow" of early Georgian days. But though he mny cut a less resplendent figure than bis predecessors lu the world of dandyism, he Is none the less a splendid creature, with n proper sense of his personal charms und their adornment. His wardrobe Is n thing for the ordinary man to marvel at, and, in costliness and variety of fine raiment. might make most brides blush for their trousseaux, ills shirts alone are a wonder in themselves tn their stacked dozens, of the daintiest cambric and many-hued as Joseph's coat—shirts of pink, daintily patterned with white (lowers, blue shirts, buff shirts, shirts of olive-green, nnd. most beloved of nil, of dark purple.

It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It docs not contain any Opium, Morphino, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It i3 unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman_ Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how- over, is to expose danger and record tho means of advancing health, The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end, To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composuro and health, by regulating tho system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. 11.

MoCrann, ot Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and asi.!'? from my own family experience I havo ln my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy ln almost every nome." Dr. J. It. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has mado for itself In tho tens of thousands cf homes blessed Dy the presenco of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but 1, for one, most heartily endorse tt and believe It an excellent remedy." Dr. It. M, Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but ln the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints.

No une could stop lhe wretch or oppose him so long as the t'zar believed that his was the voice of Heaven. Hut now Iliodor has fallen, not beeuuse the Czar has come to his senses, bul because a new charlatan has appeared upon tin- stage whose mutter!ngs and incantations are more Impressive and more novel. Tin* new charlatan Is Gregory Rasputin, an illiterate Siberian peasant about forty years old, who looks like a drunkard and probabjy Is one. who has a vast celvo the contempt felt for a man who held this idea, and Ingersoll found it hard tu get a charge, He wandered from one place tn another, only as soon as it was found that he was in favor uf freedom, to lose his congregation.

Finally, in 1876, he was chosen to nominate Blalhe, ami his reputation as a great national orator was then firmly established. "His genius steadily ripened as he grew older. The years found him looking upon life wllh a wider vision antl a broader Bcope; nor, did he fancy that his talents absolved blm from the ordinary laws that bind men In amity. He was an example of all the domestic virtues.. "He looked every subject squarely in the face; considered it from every point of view. He loved the truth; he would not deceive himself. He believed in truth, not simply for himself, but for others. More than anything else, he made it his life's work to think- right and to do right. You cannot think right without liberty. You will find today that the religion taught in the churches is more liberal, more kind, and more spiritual than before; und this great change, while it has come about gradually, while It has been the result of evolution.

THE BORGIA MURDERS One • id mi page after p .ic*.mills nf thc so-called Borgia murders. But the circumstantial evidence tv ai a rule frivolous. There |s, however, reason tn believe thai an attempt mains a mystery. Another is that uf the death uf Glnvanni Borgia, Duke of Gaudia, Gonfalonier of the Vatican. I.ike all mysteries, the crime was laid at Cesure's door. Having slain his brother-in-law it was only natural, said public opinion, ihat his brother would be the next, and for the same reason. Cesare and Lucrezla were inseparable, so Giovanni must have made a third, when two are company. True, lt wns not an ngo wherein life wus sacred. But I will quote two instances which suggest that Cesure's Instincts were generous and brave, even when they were: barbarous. Cesare laid siege to Forll, and took prisoner th.* very woman who, it was alleged, had tried to poison his father by means of tlie Infectious letter: Cesare received and treated her with ihe groat est courtesy, ami, seeing her for the moment destitute, he presented her with a purse containing two hundred ducals fm* inr immediate needs. Under liis escort she loft the castle, and was conducted, wllh her few remaining servants, to the Nomaglie Palace to remuln In Lho Duke's carej his prisoner. llow he conducted his campaigns ami spent his life can be read at leisure in ihis Interesting book. But one cannot help quoting an Instance nf how (his scion of (he Hull, true to his crest, entered the llsls as a matador: on Juno -Ith. at a bull-tight held In Rome-—the Spanish lauroinachia having been Inl induced from Naples, where It flourished under Hie Aragou dominion—he went down into the arena, and nn horseback, armed only with a light lance, he killed live wild bulls. But the master-stroke he reserved fur the end. Dismuunting, and taking n double-handed sword to Hie sixth bull that was loosed against him. he beheaded lhe great beast at one single stroke, "a feat which all Home considered great." This act seems more in keeping with Cesure's character than does the series of stealthy memory. crimes that corrode his TARAKA, THE MAORI The true Maori lives in his curiously-carved and painted hut, but even the older mon are led al times In join in the life upon a sheep-run. Taraka was une uf these, and had in his mental outlook a curious blend nf uld and now. There were occasions, it is true, when the tranquility of Taraka's life were rudely broken into. Tho week that immediately preceded a rnee meeting in the neighborhood wus Invariably characterized by an absent-minded attention to the sweet potato plot, and by it slender catch of eels altogether unworthy of his prowess its a fisherman, lt was a week of strange dreams, moreover, that succeeded ouch other with ji surprising regularity. It was remarkable, tuo, that the significance of each grew more emphatic as the period of the races drew nearer. When Taraka approached of a morning, the glow of mysterious excitement in his eyes, it might be taken for granted that he had had a dream. In his sleep, perhaps, he had seen a grey hen swallowing some wonderful grain, the like of which he hnd never seen in his waking moments, since it was uf till colors. Now a grey horse was entered to run in tin* first race on Tuesday, and the rest of the Held were of nil colors. What greater proof of thc coming result could thero he than this vision? The money must go un the grey! Further revelations, dealing with the remaining races were wont In follow. Dream objects, from a bush owl to u turnip-top. were hauled remorselessly forth from their slumberous region lu serve in lhe practical light of day as material guides and portents towards the "spotting nf a winner." Appuritluns there nre in plenty, and, as the Mauri will tell ynu, they haunt both the gloom of the bush and the still inland waters. On the eve nf the great eruption uf 1886, Sophia, the Maori guide, saw a phantom war-canoe wltb Its ghostly crew steal silently across the waters of Lake Tarawera by night. Then there Is tin- charmed island of Mokula. that earthly gem set in the midst of Lake Rotoruo, where tlie shades of the famous Hlneuma and her lover, Tutanekal, may occasionally be seen. In Maori legend pure and simple it is the wizard who plays the greatost part—the wizard who accomplishes marvels, especially of the physical order. Magicians such as these It Is who have transposed the body of a I mon ut a in Itself, or have caused the I water of a lake in rise until ihey iu- wiih undated and burled beneath their liquid weight for ever some village whose Inhabitant! had Insulted them, wittingly or otherwise. The majority of these gentlemen whose personalities, by reason of iheir oxtremoly matter-of- Bnrgla'i fnt hor which is so diabolical fact, though superhuman deeds, dn sent a force in be reckoned witli by the Mauris. Marvellous it is, too, how this atmosphere of the magical end of the supernatural has blended itself with that of the up-to-date colonial town— the bush township, wllh its telephones, its freezing works, and its butter factories. To peruse a local paper and to iind within its correspondence col- uiyns a question by u maorl—-not improbably the Tohunga himself—as to the legality of tho urt is sullicient tu make une rub the eyes in wonder. The Maori is a sportsman, but does nut take kindly to the restriction and routine of regular civfllzatioii. He can accept the rules uf the game, but life must nut become tou like work. The necessary interference with his personal convenience that the life entails is, io his" mind, oui uf proportion to the emoluments received in exchange, if he be not free to spend an hour or so at the river in pursuit of eels—those delicacies so dear fo his palate—or to discuss mailers In general with a crony over a sociable tm; lengthy pip.-, there Is surely something wrong with a vocation that permits nol these very modest luxuries. No, lei him return to the congenial pah or to his Holltary rapu hut, nnd when lo- meets a man let him do su un terms of equality, tree from the sense of servitude; even if II,mu I, his retirement he sacrifice sum.- extra comfort. Hut wlun bush-pork is to be had for lhe killing, eels for the catching, and puha. ur nettle, is ready al Ills hand tn he [ducked and boiled, what nmre could a reasonable Maori expect? So It is that, usually afler an extremely Short tenure uf domestic offlce, the disillusioned une vacates his place, a sadder, if not a wiser man. HAD HELPED HERSELF She was u fair-haired lady, in actress by profession, and dainty withal. Her head was covered by a concoction in keeping with her general make-up.
