That Man's CbieF End Is to Crucify Spon taneity on tho Crobj of Drudgery. The Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst writes of ''Tho Young Mau afc Play" in The Ladies' Home Journal. He asserts that "it is play rather than teil that is mest germane to our truo nature and that lies closest to the uivinc intention. Tko care needing to be exercised as to tho quality of our amusemtuis must never be construed into u verdict against amusements in themselves considered. With most of us the play impulse stands far more in need of encouragement than it noes of restriction. The pruverb, *It is better to wear out than to rust out' is true in form, but falso in spirit. ' The flowers do not wear out, but neither do they rust out "Ono reason why so many people are asking whether life is worth living is that we ure teaching ourselves that man's chief end is to struggle and to crucify spontauiety on a cross of drudg ery. We aro not arguing for indolence. Indolence is as distinct trom play as a pool is from a mountain brcok. But wo shall be greatly disappointed in heav en if it does noi give u great deal of opportunity ter energy to issuo in ac tivity that takes no thought and is a joy to itself, and an experience that wail be saintly in heaven can hardly with reason bo criticised as limp and pueme if iuuulged in before we enter heaven."

"Why," said he, "I knew that harm less means something that wouldn't do any harm, and so wildless means plants thu: are not wild." He mentioned the fall, and I asked him what ho meant by fall. Ho replied : "The winter at first; the first of it. Dccthcy call it fall be cau;e everything is falling?"

MISLEADING TELEGRAMS. Elfo rt.-. at Brevity Often Kermit In ridic ulous Misunderstandings. A very ludicrous incident occurred at Vienna some time ago, when Max Hal be, "he successful playwright, who had coma to oJose a contract with tho man agers of a Vienna playhouse for the per formance of one of his dramas, found that his Bhoes had been stolen during the night just preceding his return home. In Vienna hotels it is the custom to placo one's shoes in front of the bed room door before retiring. The hotel portur calls for them, cleans them and replaces them. On that particular day sumo sneak thief had entered the hotol and walked away with half a dozen pain of 6hoes, among them Halbe's. In Munich, Halbe's wife was anxious ly awaiting his return, and, to quiet her fear?, since he could not arrive on time, Halbe sent her the following dispatch : "Could not leave hotel; stole shoes. Mas. " An hour and a half later tele grams began pouring into Vienna to Hallie's friends, to the manager of the theater where he had just concluded arrangements to have his play pro duced and to tho chief of police, with the request to help Mr. Halbe at once and to get him a good lawyer. The wife ol' Mr. Halbe had misunder stood her hm band's telegram and be lieved that I e could not leave Vienna for having el olen shoes. Although she could not pt BE i bly understand why he should steal ihoes, the poor woman be lieved thut ho had had a fit of klepto mania and ht.ci been caught in tho act. After another exchange of telegrams the mistnderstaidiug was explained away. -St, Louis Globe-Democrat. The Moos Will Never Changa.

But such, dear reader, is not the idea wo mean to convey, but we do mean ex actry what the headline says, that under existing conditions (and the conditions which have existed on the surface of the moon fer perhaps millions of years) it is a physical impossibility that the face bf the moon ehould change one iota.

Here ia a story which is too much to tho credit of two ladies and a gentle man to be wholly suppressed. They aro all strong swimmers and eau battle with the waves in valiant fashion. They chanced to be in the sea at one timo and on a 6hore where tho under tow is irresistible a short distance out. The man suddenly felt himself in that Btrong, terrible, outward pull of tho wa ters of the mighty depp. He understood immediately that he and his compan ions would shortly be no moro unless by tremendous, instant, individual exer tion they pulled for the shore. In that treacherous current not ono could help another. How to get "these girls" ashore without terrifying them and put ting them in still greater danger through their fears was tho problem of that terrible moment. The man solved it like a hero. He made a sign, a sound of personal dis tress and began swimming inshore. His companions in the waves heard and Baw his white face. Both believed, as be meant them to, that ho was threat ened with cramps and swam inshore, too, calling out cheerful, encouraging words to him as they pulled for the shore, assuring bim that he would soon be all fight; that they could get him in safely if he really should give out, and other words to that effect. It was not long before this man of mortal courage -stood upon the beach in safety, and those he had thus rescued from death litcod on either side of him and heard what it would have meant for them all to have spent another moment in that outrnshiug tido. It was a noncombatant in tho strife :!or life who remarked: "That fellow was a great philosopher. Ho knew how i:o appel to the new woman when swim ming her strongest against the old or der of things. He only offered his plea i;o the 'eternal womanly, ' to woman's maternal need of taking care of tho sick or the helpless. Those girls will prob ably always think it was their own phys ical strength and powers that rescued them from death by drowning, but it was really the 'eternal womanly,' bent upon helping one they believed in dan ger and need."-Boston Transcript. Ho Ato Cabbago rind Lived. Wonderful are tho whims of tho hu man stomach. What kills one man gives another life. One of the strangest cases cf a craving for food on the part of a sick man is narrated by Mrs. Enzen in "Our Army Nurses." She was at the time (1864) nurse in the Columbian hospital at Washington. Among her pa tients was a "boy"-though he was a \eteran of four years' standing-who bad come to the hospital several months teforo with a wounded knee. This is ter strange story : The surgeons had held many exam i cations. He was failing rapidly; could rot retain anything, even cold water causing hemorrhage of the stomach. "What is the verdict, doctor?" I asked one morning. "He con live but a few days at the longest," was the answer, "and may die in a few hours." "Then, doctor, please let him have what he wants while he does live" "I givo him into your hands, Miss Titus. Do what you please for him. " Tho bandages were at once removed, an he had complained that they were uncomfortable. Then, as scon as the other patients were cared, for I went to a market garden and bought a head of cabbage. He had of ton said ho wanted something green, if only "boiled grass. " When the cabbage was cooked, I carried h::m some, with cider vinegar, and fed him. Ho ate all there was on tho plate, asked for more, which was brought, and still a third and fourth plate, till ho had eaten the whole cabbage. From that dinner, in K .y, he began tc improve, and on the 14th of June .' started with him on a stretchor for his home in Pennsylvania, as his lito even then depended upon his diet, and such meals as he ate would have made a well man sick. He recovered, but had a stiff knee. Tolstoi Answers Questions.

HOW SALT IS MINED. METHODS EMPLOYED AT THE EXTEN SIVE WORKS IN MICHIGAN. Tho Supply of r.aw Material, Which lg Brine, Is Practically Inexhaustible-The Industry Ha? Crown Enormously Since 18GO, nt Which Timo It Really Began. The existence of salt Eprings in the lower peninsula of Michigan was known to tho Indians Jong prior to tho advent of the white men in tho country, and they were resorted to by both Indians and wild animals. So well known was this fact of tho presence of salt springs that the general government made nu merous reservations of lands which were supposed to contain salt deposits. By the act of admission of Michigan into the Union the state was authorized to select 72 sections of salt laud, or land where tho presence of saline springs in dicated tho occurrence of salt deposits. On tho organization of tho geological survey the state geologist, Dr. Douglas Houghton, made nu examination, with the view to tho rejection of these hinds, and in 1838 reported the results of his observations. Still these exaruina?ous were limited to surface indications, and no extended experiments wero mace to probe the coast far below the surface. However, borings were finally under taken in several localities, resulting generally in such a gocd measure of suc? cens as to stimulate still further trials, developing such gratifying results, es pecially in tho Saginaw valley, that in 1859 the first company was organized for the manufacture of salt, since which period this industry baa reached its present stupendous proportions adding greatly to the wealth and reputation of tho state and especially to the growth of the cities and tho region in which the business is carried on. The origin of these deposits is not known. Whence the waters, lying so far beneath tho surface, derivo their sa line property there is no apparent means of determining, nor is the boundary of tho surface known beneath which these deposits of brino may bo found. The Michigan salt group has a wide extent in the state, though thus far tho great est successes have como from the Sagi naw valley. Where tho lowest horizon is found in the salt group the brino is found to be the strongest, greatest in amount and best in quality. It is for this reason that salt wells in the Sagi naw valley have proved to bo moro val uable than elsewhere. It is the region in which the greatest depression occurs. Tho salt group here lies at a depth reaching to more than 1,000 feet below the surface of the lake. At what depth below the surface of the lake this brine is found the writer is unable to state. Of one thing there is an apparent cer tainty, that the supply of the brine is inexhaustible. Tho extent to which the manufacturo of salt in Michigan may be carried on is one of cost and demand. The brino may bo assumed au existing in quantity far in excess cf our ability to diminish it. Of tho two modes of securing, the evaporation of tho water, either by the application of solar or artif cial heat, the latter is tho method mainly resort ed to iu the Saginaw valley. Solar evap oration is effected by exposing the brine in shallow wooden vats. Such vats as are used aro about 18 feet sqr-.arc and 6 inches deep. They aro supported on posts abore the ground and arci provided with a roof, which is readily moved on the vats or off from them to cover tho brino from the rain or to expose it to the sun, as required. The process is be gun in March and tho contents removed in July, the product cf the second fill ing is taken out tho 1st of September, and tho third and final removal occurs the last of Oclobcr. Tho annual product of a singlo salt vat of this size is 50 bushels. A kettle block contains 50 or CO ket tles, set closo together mid in rows in closed in etonewoik or brickwork. A launder connects with a cistern kept filled with brine and runs along be tween the iows of kettles, end from this launder tho brino is drawn out into the kettles by opening a lateral spout When 70 por cent of the water has been boiled away, the salt is dipped cut into a basket or 6ieve to allow tho water to run out of it, after which it is emptied into a bin, where, after a sufficieut time -abr-.ut two weeks--it is ready to be put into barrels. But tho greatest ad vauco in tho way of cheapening tho cost of tho salt production has bren achieved by tho uso of steam lo afford heat for evaporation. For this purpose the ex haust steam of tho great mills in the Saginaw region is used. Pans aro also made use cf. -A so call ed pan block, consisting of a "settler" pan, and packing room aro inclosed in the same building. The brino is druwn from the settler into the pan, to the bot tom of which tho firo is directly ap plied, making tho evaporation very rap id and causing tho salt to form continu ously. Tho salt busiuesa in Michigan has swollen from tho manufacturo in I860 of 4,000 barrels to 3,907,280 in 1895. The estimated capacity of tho 113 firms now eugaged in tho manufacture of salt in this state is 5,950,000 barrels per year.-Detroit Free Press. Appreciated Scotch. A well known learned judge, who was a keen politician before his promo tion to tho bench, weut down while yet a plain Q. C. to help tho Liberal candidate for a Scotch borough. Ho be gan a speech with a Scotch story ; but, failing in giving tho "awecent" with due emphasis, tho story fell flat, and tho audience began to murmur. Tho prac? ticed orator changed his key and re sumed in his natural and stentorian voice, "Gentlemen, I do not speak Scotch, but; I voto Scotch." Tremen dous applauso followed, whereupon our Q. C. proceeded, no doubt very repre hensibly, "andi often drink Scotch." After this ho was tho unquestioned idol ef the hour.-Household Words. Cautious lTophec. In theso days, when people are wont to complain of any mistake ruado in tho prognostications sent out from the weather bureau, it is amusing to read of the complaisant manner in which Clough, in his "New England Alma nack" for tho year 1702 and lai:or, pre dicted the weather. "Perhaps," ho says, from tae 15th to tho 23d of Janunry, "it will be very cold weather if it freso by the fireside or on tho sunny sido of a fence at noon. " In April ho says: "Perhaps wet weather if it rains." "Now fair weath er if tho sun shines." "Windy or calm. " And in July ho writes pleasantly, "If now the weather do prove fair, peo ple to Cambridge do repair." It appears that Mr. Samuel Clough knew how to secure himself against criticism.__ Enough.

Two prominent Cleveland men went abroad last summer, and one of them took with him a miniature regulation flag. It was tho handiwork of a neigh bor, a lady, and itsi dainty fiilken folds were attached lo a gilded staff. "Takii good care of it," said the fair flagmakcr, "for it means protection, you know, and when the opportunity comes wave it for all it is worth." Well, the opportunity didn't como for aeveral weeks, but all that timo tho lit tle flag was within easy reaching dis tance. At last, when the tourists came to Frankfort-on-tho-Main, they were in vited to dinner by an American resi dent, and around his hospitable table they glowed over tho glories of Colum bia's land until our pilgrims felt fairly homesick. "I made np my mind right then," Baid the flag bearer, "that Old Glory would have to wave on , some pretext that day, even if I had td stand out in the street and cheer for it alone." Well, after the dinner they went ont to hear the band play, and then a wild idea occurred to the mau with the flag. Ho stationed himself to one side, where be could catch tho conductor's eye, and there he waited. Pretty soon the band master looked squarely at him, and then out came the stars and stripes with an eloquent flourish. Tho leader was a se vere looking man, with a stiff gray mustache and n very tight uniform, but ho actually smiled and nodded. Then ho stiffened up and rapped sharply on his music stand. The musicians stiffen ed np, too, there was a rapid fire of gut tural directions, and then And then tho great band broko out all at once in that splendid chorus, " 'Tis the star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave," and yon may rest assured the Cleveland man waved it long and wildly and tried to sing, too, and choked up over it, and tho other Americans gathered, about him and sang the best they knew how and waved their hats and handkerchiefs, like windmills, with tho staid German citizens looking on in big eyed amazement. "I say, do you know," said the flag waver, "that when I heard the glorious old tune it was just like getting in sight of Cleveland smoke again." Well, tho leader played the' "Star Spangled Banner" through three times; then he whipped over to "Home, Sweet Home," and wound np with "Yankee Doodle." "Oh, we didn't do a thing to that bandmaster," said the Cleveland man. "We just took him out and shook honda with him all around and gave him a line jolly, which he couldn't under stand, and then bonght him a barrel of beer, which he could understand." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Hos Cancer Ita Special Microbe? A highly interesting discovery, which will perhaps afford a clew to the causo of cancer, has been mado in Professor von Leyden's univo/sity hospital here. A young woman of 22 and a man of 68, both Butlering irom dropsy and cancer of tho stomach, wero brought to tho hospital last spring. In order to remove the accumulated fluid, tapping was re sorted lo in both cases. The fluid was examined under the microscope, und nh i. er to unknown living organisms, be longing probably to tho piotozoa, were discovered.

He begun his examination on July IP, and ascertained that in both cases the fluid contained a rhizopod, which ho named Leydenia gemmipura schau dinn.

The nickname Uncle Sam, as ap plied to the United btates government, is said to have originated as loJlows: Samuel Wilson, commonly called Un cle Sam, was a government inspector of beef and pork at Iroy, 1ST. Y., about 1812. A contractor, Elbert Anderson, purchased a quantity o? previsions, and the barrels were murktd "E. A.," An derson's initials, aud "U. S.," for United States. The latter initials were not familiar to Wilson's workmen, who inquired what they meant. A fucetious fellow answered, "I don't know, unless they mean 'Uncle Sam.'" A vast amount of property afterward passed through Wilson's hands marked in the same manner, und h 3 was often joked npon tho extent of his possessions. The joke spread through ali the departments of the government, and before long the United States was popularly referred to as Uncle Sam.-Ladies' Home Journal Ingenious Peruvian Potteries. A long, slim neck is a distinguishing feature of much of the Peruvian pot tery, and nearly every vessel is orna mented with a figure of some sort, hav ing holes to represent eyes and other openings. These afford a passage for the air forced ont by the liquid when pour ed into tho vessel. Byan ingenious con trivance the air in escaping produces a sound similar to tho cry of the creature represented. Thus a utensil decorated with two monkeys embracing each oth er, on having water poured into or from it, would give a sound like the screech ing of those animals. One decorated with a bird would emit birdlike notes, whilo a mountain cat on one jar would mow; snakes coiled around another would hiss. Tho most curious that we havo seen was the ligure of au aged woman. When the jax was in uso, her sobs became audible, und tears trickled down her cheeks. The manufacturers seemed to have known all about atmos pheric pressure. Dr. Le Plongeon had in his own collection a piece that dem onstrated this. It represented a don bio headed bird. The vessel hud to be filled through a hole in the bottom, and yet in turning it over not a tirop would spill, but the liquid would readily flow out when the jar was simply inclined. -Popular Science Monthly. - Tin- Darlington, Wis., Jouma says editorially of a popular patent medicine. "We know from experience that Chamberlain*; Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is all that i claimed for it, as on two occasions it stopped excruciating pains and possibly saved us from an untimely grave. We would not rest easy over night without it in thc house." Thia remedy un doubtedly saves more pain and suffer ing than any other medicine in thc world. Every family should keep it in the house, for it is sure to be needed sonner or later. Fur sale by VISIONS WHICH WARNED. Two Instanced Where Dreams of Bone* and Piro Carno Trae. Dreams, like girls, "are queer, "and dreams wherein horses ligare largely take rank among the queerest. In tho yc;*r 1890 a gentleman entered a prom' ising pacer for a race to come off some time during tho summer. He wan speeding the horse on the last of tho snow and wrote to his wife, who waa visiting in a distant town, that li ia prospects for a raoe horse were rosy. That night the lady, although not espe cially an admirer of horses, dreamed that she was sitting in the stand watch ing tho finish of tho race wherein her husband's horse was to tako port lie plying to the letter, ehe said that bin horse would win the race, the last heat several lengths ahead of a gray horse, the only other one she saw in her dream, and that the judge announced thc. time 9:20 y?. The letter caused a good deal of amusement in the family during the months previous to the race, and finally when the day came five horses started, among them being a dark gray. Tbe dream came trae in every respect, the race being won in three heats, and at the finish the gray was the only one in it, the rest just coming in*o the stretch; time, 2.-2034. Thodream I ca vemen for, as I saw the letter weeks be fore the race> took place. Another gentleman, who was sleeping at an inn besids the track where his horses were stabled dreamed, that he saw the window of a stall containing a val uable young horse being stealthily open ed from the outside. Then fire flashed and fell among the straw, revealing the hornes in a state of terror, pawing and snorting loudly. The dream was so vivid that he awoke and fancied that he could in reality hear the horse strik ing the walls of his stall. He partially dressed and ran out, and not a moment too soon. Some miscreant had thrown a cloth burning and soaked with oil through the window. This bad ignited the straw, and in a few seconds more the horse must have perished, though, fortunately, as it was he was but slight ly injured.-Trotter and Pacer. Tho Expert Witness. The present custom which permits each side to call in its own expert and pay him for his testimony is calculate to produce anything but expert testi mony unless the term expert applies to manipulation of facts to suit his client's case. It would bc about as conducive to justice if each side were allowed to re tain and pay a judge and jury of ita own. In fact, the practice is so obvious ly calca]aced to defeat instead of aid the ends of justice that it is difficult to see how it ever originated. The mere ' fact that a witness is employed and paid by the defendant or plaintiff un consciously enrolls him on that side, and tbero are few experts whose testi mony is not modified by such an ar rangement. This custom has led so of ten to a flat contradiction regarding facht between'opposing authorities that the general public has lost confidence in encl testimony. This is, of course, verv unfortunate, as it is beyond question thai a man who has devoted his life to a s idy, for instance, of poisons ari the! - effects on the body is in a better posi ion to judge of the probabilities fu a gi en case than the ordinary layman or i ?ysician. Under a system where the exp rt is culled by the court ao ques tion of bias could be'raised, and science wot .id not be disgraced from time to time by those who are willing to trade on their scientific reputation.-Popular Science Monthly. Democracy iud Education. So long as tho direction of man _ in stitutional lite was in tho hands of one or the few the need for a wiue diffusion of political intelligence was not strong ly lei t. Ihe divine right of kings found its correlative in the diabolical igno rance of the masses. There was no edu cational iueul, rest ing upon a social and political necessity, that was broad enough to include the whole people, but the rapid widening of the basis of sov ereignty has changed ail that. No deep er conviction pervaues the people of the United btutes and of France, who are the most aggressive exponents of de mocracy, than that the preservation of liberty under the law and of the insti tutions that are our precious possession and proud heritage depends upon tbe intelligence of tho whole people. It is on th.s unshakable foundation that the argument for public education at public expense reaily rests.-Educational Re view. BUSY CLIFF DWELLERS. The Pueblo Women Are Literally Em presses of Their Cornea. "The cliff people are a busy folk," wriie3 Hamlin Garland in The Ladies' Home Journal, in an article describing the homes, home life und cesteras of the cliff dwellers of the southwest-"the most mysterious people in America," as he designates them. "Thc women grind meal and weave blankets and baskets and make very interesting and often beautiful pottery. The old men make moccasins very deftly, while the young er men go down from tho cliff to the fields to tend the growing crop, to watch the struggling corn os it battles against drifting bot sand and against sudden floods-such are the extremities of their climate. Euch morning while 1 was in Hano I beard thc men at early dawn go singing down the steep trail down into the purple plain. Their qua vering songs flouted up to me with a strange beanty. Each morning, while it was still dark, the women woke me by entering tho roon where I lay to grind corn, and each night I went to sleep to tho regalar rhythm of the meal ing stone timed to the mystical reli gions chant of the toiling women. "Let it bo said that there is no wom an slavery among these people auymore than muong ?ho Navajoes. The women arc chief pi opt rty hold rs. Thehousois generally the woman's, ttLd descent is through her and not Ibrongh the father. The men are seldom severe in manner, and in Acoma and Walpi, as well as in Laguna and Zuni, I saw the men tak ing care of the babies and doing it with great tenderness and smiling patience. I saw no evidence of any severity except in case 0:' the old women. They seemed to bo tho drudges of the household in Walpi and in Acoma, carrying wood and bottles of water up the steep trail, bent, withered, moroso and complain ing. They alone of all these people seemed saturnine." - Th!? count rv HIPS up 30.000 now of huber a day in < nc way and ?notber. Deafness Cannot be Cuppd b.
