A SAFE VEHICLE. I hare traveled rouud the world, * Northward eighty-one degrees; I have seen ice mountains hurled into stormy, surging seas.

I’ve explored with learned sages Parthenons and temples Doric; And seen relics of the ages That we cail the prehistoric. I’m at home in Home and Venice, Paris, London, Aberdeen; And Pve danced and played lawn tennis W’ith the daughter of a queen.

Aiu.rtr.ii KulUl.r. To know the American soldier well yon must toil wtfh him over the desert trail when the suu heats hotly down on the dry and rerdureletts earth, and the dust rises in white clouds that hide the column from view, and tills the eyes the mustache, the ears, the mouth, with profanity and vexation. Here is where his songs and jokes proclaim the stuff that he is made of. Then when ! you are sent out with him in the dead of : winter over twenty inches of snow, your equipments and supplies on bote sleds, he it is that dismounts time and again without a murmur, pushing to j help the mulee up hill, and repacking the overturned sled a dozen times in n D.ng.r. to Which Pulut.r, anil rotter. Ar. Eapoactl—Lead Ha. Slain It. Thou- .and. and M.rcurj It. Hundfed.—Kf* feet of Too Much Silver on a Man. My lady delicately tracing embroid ery upon fine linen knows nothing and cares less about the men who fashioned the needle she holds in her tapering fin gers. But those men shortened their lives in the making of it Perhaps by the infinitesimal fraction of a second for that particular needle, but when they they ground it and polished It they in- haled into their lungs the invisible par ticles of steel that flew from the whir ring stone. Consumption is a very com- majn disease among needle makers. Ilumao life is the cheapest thing on earth. “How many lives will It cost?” is a question that never enters into the calculation of architect, bridge builder, manufacturer—of any one who supplies the necessities of the world, forwards its progress or adds to its comforts. Human life is the one raw material of which the orop never fails, in producing which there are no strikes. And while there are a vast nnniber of trades and manufactures in their very nature dan gerous to life, you cannot indnce the men who work at them to take up other occupations. Not even the offer of higher wages will tempt them, which goes to show that a man has as little re gard for his own life as any one else has for it No need to mold lead into bullets to make it deadly. Workurs of lead, house painters, ar’ists, gilders, calico printers, typefounders and typesetters,shot found ers, potters and braziers will tell yon that So will the workmen who handle vulcanized rubber, those who wrap goods in tinfoil, even the fishmongers who handle lead counters covered with brine. Lead poisoning, next to alcoholic poisoning, is perhaps the commonest toxic condition. “Lead colic” is almost as prevalent as that other colic that rouses the happy father and sets him to pacing the floor with his squalling son and heir. When a man suffers with chronic lead poisoning his digestion isdisturlied. He has no appetite, and his skin nsually takes on a peculiar yellow hue. His gums show a characteristic blue line, which is sulphide of lead deposited there. He has pains in his joints and ofttimes paralysis. His paralysis usually affects the extensor muscles of the hands and fingers, and so produces w.hat is popularly called “drop wrist.” Oneo In a while lead poisoning affects the brain. A case is recorded where a painter suf fering from it thought he saw “wind bags blown up to look like men,” and other apparitions which made remarks to him and caused him a great deal of anxiety. With allVlue deference to the medical faculty, it would seem doubtful whether talk about “wind bags blown up to look like men" should be taken as an evidence of insanity. There surely are such things in real life. Work men employed at extracting gold from its ores, those who silver mirrors, makers of barometers and thermometers have of course to live in a atmosphere more or less impregnated with mercury. So do those who etch, who color the finer sorts of wool and who take part in the manufacture of felt hats. In these I latter occupations the mercury is in the form of its nitrate. Mercury is the de light of every dentist wtioee heart is really in his work. Too much of it sal- | ivales a man ami makes his teeth drop out, so that a mirror silverer is extremely apt to go mumbling, toothless, through life like a “lean and slippered panta- , loqo." Bhotographers, makers of hair dyes ! and of marking Ink handle a great deal of silver, lhat lot might seem to be very enviable, but In those cases the sil ver is the nitrate or one of its vsqous other compounds. It is extremely liable to change the color of the man who han dles it, particularly that much of him as is expoeed to the light First his nails and fingers, then his hands and face turn from white to grayish blue and then to black. Copper is another metal that is mighty dangerous to handle habitually. It breaks down the health of those who work in it Copper enters into the com position of any number of alloys, into the common bronxing processes, into the lilac and purple fibers of the pyrotech nist and into many pigments. A green line appears on the gums of the unfortu nate poisoned by copper. So that if one has n ilesire to ornament his gums he has at least the choice of his colors- blue with lead, green with copper. An timony is another health destroyer, at least so far as men are concerned. “Kermes mineral” contains antimonious acid. It ia used in vulcanizing rubber. Typefounders are also exposed to the deleterious effects of antimouy. But however unhealthfully antimony acts on men there has long prevailed an idea, the truth of which is doubtful, that antimony given to animals im proves their condition. Says an old au thor: “A horse that is lean and scrubby, and not to fatted by any means, will become fat on taking a done of antimony for two mouths together. A boar fed for bacon, and having an ounce of anti mony given him every morning, will be come fat a. fortnight sooner than others out into the sty at the same time and day; then after it all digging his hole in the snow, and putting up his tent at night, all the time joking with his ’Bunkie,” and ready as ever to steal a wisp of hay or a handful of oats for his shivering horse. He it is that jumped into a boiling hot spring to save the life of the daughter of a private citizen—a deed for which the citizen, who was a rich man, prof fered the astounding sum of five dollars, and the government the gold medal of honor; he that took a flat bottomed boat out in a heavy sea in New York harbor to rescue a drowning l>oy; that lost his life for his fidelity while attempting to swim an icy stream with dispatches; who single handed snrved a field gun through an action with a ballet in his leg, to hold a position; he that you be lieve incapable of anything bnt “buck ing faro" and drinking strong liqnors.- Harper's Weekly. Roman Wealth. When L Culpurnius Piso was ap pointed governor of Macedonia for one year he drew for his outfit from the pub- Jjc treasury 18,000,000 sesterces or £150,- 000. He did not want the money for that purpose; everything required by a proconsul was supplied to him by the province. Piso simply took the money for himself, and lent it out in Rome at high interest 0. Verres was charged by Cicero with having robbed Sicily of £350,000 In three years, besides many valuable works of art He practically admitted his guilt by retiring from Rome without attempting any defense. Cic ero, when governor of the poor province of Cilicia, found himself the richer in one year by £20,000, and he was perhaps the only proconsul who ever handed over bis surplus to the state. There can be no donbt that Cicero and the younger Pliny received large sums from their clients while those clients were still living. Balbns is not likely to have secured the argument “Pro Balho” for a mew trifle, and the gratitude of Sicily for the prosecution.of Verses un doubtedly took a very substantial form. Apart from all such honoraria, it is re corded that both Cieero and the younger Pliny received legacies from clients to the amount of £170,000. Gibbon tells us on the authority of Olympiodorus that several of the richest senators had an in come of £160,80* a year—without com puting the stated.provision of corn and wine.—National Review. The Folly of SuicMee The sin of suicide is cot more evident than is its folly. In the vast majority of cases the ills which provoke this des perate act derive their force not from the actual misery they inflict, but from nervous apprehensiveness. They are the shadows of clonds which threaten, but may and often do pass away. It was one of the cruel ironies of fate that the suicide of M. Prevoet-Paraded, who had stultified his most brilliant writings by accepting a post—that of minister from France to Washington- under the Second Empire, took place just as the Liberal cause, with which his name had always been associated, was on the eve of triumph. When Mary Wollstonecraft, deserted by her American lover, paced np and down Putney bridge satnrating her gar ments with the rain so that they might not prevent her from sinking in the water her life seemed Indescribably dreary—without a ray of hope. Yet this very hour of despair proved to be fhe turning point in her history, and from it dated the truest bliss she had ever known—a period of wedded happi ness and joyous work. And so with "the marvelous boy, the sleepless soul that perished in his pride,” Chatterton. He poisoned himself in his wretched garret at the very time when the feet of one who would have relieved his pov erty were turned toward the street in which he died.—Boston Transcript In Sepnratiag Dlir.iwnt Qrad*. of Floor Llm tho Sec rot of tho ladu.trjr. Hardly any manufacture of a gener ation ago was so simple as flour milling. The miller dropped his wheat into a hopper, millstones beneath swiftly ground it into a product from which, there and then, flour was separated by bolting cloth. Fragments of wheat that had tieen only partly ground, and so could not pass through the meshes of the cloth, were passed between the mill stones a second time. The meal ob tained by this latter oiieration was again sifted, yielding a flour which var ied a good deal in quality. Sometimes it was fair in grade, but usually it carried so much bran as to be quite dark in color, and the bread baked from it was darker still. Contrasted with this simple, direct wsy of making flour is the elaborate roller process, first brought to the point of practical success in Hungary. Im ported thence it was developed and im proved by American ingenuity in the great mills of Minnesota, and from that state has spread to every other in the Union. Simplicity is so important a feature in machinery that, had the old time mill been as economical as it was simple, its quick and ready methods would never hove been discarded. The fault in these methods was that, considering the real complexity of the work to be done, they were too simple Millstones, especially when they ran, i they usually did, very close together, wasted some of the wheat’s best ele ments, and left sticking to the bran no small percentage of good floor. What a miller’s task is becomes plain when we cloeoly examine a grain of wheat The first thing to meet the eye is its branny envekqie. At one end of this is a little bunch of delicate hair or fuzz; at the other appears an embryo or germ—for the grain, it must be remem bered, is a seed. Next is to be noticed the deep crease which run* along the length of the grain. This is very tight ly and snugly folded together. In get ting at the flour within the grain the miller has to remove hair, bran and germ, and most thoroughly nufold the crease. This last part of his work was the most troublesome of all until rollers took the place of millstones. They open ont the grain's crease so completely that the separation of the flour is an easy matter, even when spring wheat, with its hard, brittle covering, furnishes the grist. While mills of the Hungarian type employ a series of rollers to reduce tho wheat, their efficiency and economy are equally due to their separating ma chinery. This machinery takes the dif ferent products successively let fall by the rollers and assorts them with nicety. If flour from au old fashioned mill, such os still may be found lingering in a frontier settlement, be scrutinized carefully, it will be found to consist of flours of more than one kind. These flours, if freed from the admixture of brau and other impurities, and divided into fair, good and best, would be much enhanced in value. To effect this separ ation would be impossible, and yet mod ern miHing accomplishes wliat is prac tically the same task. This it does by indirect attack, instead of attempting to separate and purify flours in their ground and mixed state it separates and purifies each distinct product of wheat before flour is made at all. When wheat is granulated step by step it can be easily rid of its impurities and divided kind from kind as it cannot at a later stage, when as flour it rises before the breath like so much dujtr Both groups of inventions—rollers for reduction and purifiers am' separators for treating wheat as reduced—owe their develop ment to the study bestowed upon wL not very long ago millers were wont tj regard as a mere byproduct—Cincin nati Commercial Gazette. Bmvery In n Crow. Some years ago at a hawking party on Salisbury Plain, a falcon was flown at a carrion crow, which it struck after a long fight, and the two birds came down like a parachute to the ground. The party galloped np and were about to dismount to take up the falcon, when the mate of the crow suddenly de scended from a great height with such velocity that the wings made a whizzing sound like that of a falling stone and dashed onto the falcon. The force ef the blow strnck the hawk from its quarry, which was uninjured by the grapple in the air, and both crows flew off unhurt into a copse near. In this case the crow clearly understood the cause of the danger and tffe possibility of a rescue when the falcon was on the ground and least able to act on the of fensive. Bnt the courage and devotion which prompted tt to overcome the natural dread which ibe falcon inspires, and the added terror of a a party of mounted men in hot pursuit, place the crow's claim to admiration sn a very high level.—Lon don Spectator. AporttVe Lamb*. A flock of ewea and lambs were once observed in tdjoining fields, separated by a fence with severid gaps in it. “Fol low my leader” Was the game most in favor with this flock, the biggest lamb leading around the field and then jump ing the gap, with ifll the others follow ing in single file. Any lamb that took the leap nnusually well would give two or three more enthusiastic jumps out of sheer exuberant happiness when it reached the other side. Fawns played a sort of cross touch from one side to the other, the “touch” in each case be ing by the nose.—London Tit-Bita. Settled. “Maudie,” he faltered after he had made his trembling confession ayd the dear girl had said yes, “shall—shall— are you goiug to—to tell anybody about itT "How can 1 keep from telling it, Harold?” said the maiden. “My Ups are not sealed." And Harold attended to the sealing at once.—Chicago Tribune. H* liked Happy. There is a characteristic story told of a man who lay dying.

N. Hapgood at the Lindell. “The Missourian was a big, burly fellow, with a four days’ growth of beard and the tan of forty summers on his face, but his wife was young and very pretty. The Boston ir resistible took a seat facing her, and strove in various way to attract her at tention. The husband caught on to his capers, and bought a copy of au illus trated humorous paper, which he handed him. This amused him for a time, bnt he soon resume J his occupation of star ing at the lady. Then the husband sent him the morning paper. He read the baseball news through, readjusted his cravat and reeumed his old tactics. “The Missourian then invited him into the smoker to enjoy a Key West with him. As they puffed the fragrant weeds the exquisite's curiosity cropped out He was eager to know if he had mashed the entire family. ‘I say,’ he began, ‘I caw n’t see why you show me so much attention, dontcherknow. You must like mo pretty well for a new acquaintance.' ‘Like you!' blurted the Missourian. ’You blanket)- blanked tallow faced dudel 1 find it cheaper to buy baseball literature and cigars to amuse you than to unscrew your neck for gawping at my wife."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat Wsailing One*. Fac« with Wax. Mr. Sala told an interviewer how he lunched on one occasion with the king of Spain under most distressing circum stances. Gallenga was with him and they were suddenly ordered to join the royal party. They had traveled all night, their faces were as black as sweeps, and being wintry weather all the water was frozen. What was to be done? Gallenga came to the-reecue: "Ever try candles?” he asked. , “The dry wash proesnx See,” and he took down some of tba wax candles with which the carriage was lighted and com menced rubbing his face with one of thsm. With infinite trust in GalVenga'a wisdom 1 did likewise, and really, after some ten minutes’ persistent nibbing, our fares certainly looked more respect able, though somewhat %nxy and ghast ly.—Pall Mall Gazette. _ Scarfs That Demand a Fla. The scarfpin should always b$ worn with the flat, madeup scarf. There is a place for its insertion, and by seeming to hold it together it attains a utilita rian phase, in that it is an aid in gloss ing over the percentage of made.ip sng- gestjveness that is always more or less associated with the imitative article. The madenp flat or puff scarf, if worn without a scarfpin, discloses its arti ficiality in all the baldness of its me chanical inferiority. It is a curious paradox In the fashions, therefore, that the scarfing that does mit actually need the scarfpin in reality requires it most of all. In the aelf tied De Joinville, or its madeup reproduction, the scarfpin must pierce the cross folds at the intersec tion.—Clothier and Furnisher. A Clever Women. A lady of fine artistic taste has dis covered that at church parade her prayer book, by its incongruous color, entirely ruined the effect of a carefully conceived costume. It struck a discord in an otherwise perfectly harmonious dress. This has been remedied by hav ing a cover to her prayer book which »hl4L.be perfectly in accord with fhe leading ton# or ner garments, 1M prayer book «.over will henceforth re ceive as attentive consideration as the bonnet, the gloves and the sunshade, and no jarring note of color will be in- ; troduced by means of a volume bound in blue velvet or in scarlet morocco.— j Loudon Graphic. Rcllgfolia lUfTrrrn,r». In the greater concerns of life there are wonderful illnstratione of the con flicts of opinions. There are something over 1,800,000,000 of human beings in the world. Among these are six va rieties of religious belief; three of these are said by one class to be false, and by others three are adbl to be the true re ligion. And yef every religionist, every sectarian claims that he and she alone are right. What our (.Chinese neighbors say is “true" we say is “false.” We call them “heathens”—they class ns as “out side barbarians.” What we English speaking people think Is the right and the true religion is in a startling minority in human be lief or religious creed—for there are only some 350,000,000 Christians in all the world. There are some 6.001,000 Jews, and they have clung with singular persistency in all ages to their religious belief; it is seldom a Jew renounces his faith; it is more seldom that a Chris tian embraces Judaism. There are more than 400,000,000 people who are I lagans and Mohammedans.—Detroit Free Press. Advice for Young Journalists. A correspondent asks, “How shall a young man proceed who desires to be come a reporter?” Let him apply to the city editor of the paper on which he hopes to get a job. If he can bring a short letter of introduc tion it will not hnrt him; bnt he doesn't need any great wad of recommendations. He should know what he can do in the way of reading and writing English, be prepared to say how old he is, if he speaks German or French, or any other foreign language; if he is in good health, if he drinks; he doesn’t want to be fresh, nor does he want to be a chump. He wants to get rid of the idea that the paper needs him, bnt wants to impress it on the city editor (not by talking, however) that he is a good man, and that if he lias had no experience he will nevertheless learn. Some papers prefer green men; they don't have to unlearn so much.—New Vork Sun. The Bsrth to He Like the Muon. The water of the earth is all destined to disappear from the surface of the globe by being abeorbed by subterranean rocks, with which it will form chemical combinations.

Its seas are only shallow Mediterraneans of less surface than the continents, and these do not appear to be very high; and in the appearance of the moon, all cracked and dried np, we have a view of the final state of the earth—for the absorp tion ef the water by the solid nucleus will be followed by that of the atmos phere.—Popular Science Monthly.
