' Ou Monnt Washington.
"The view from Mount Washington,"
says my guide lxk, with pnrd mable en
thusiasm, ' 'is incomparably grand. " As a
matter of fact, it is 11 good view, but still
quite comparable, and not good enough
in proportion to the elevation. You are
at the 6ame height aS on the top of the
Rigi; but oh, what a difference! Mount
Washington towers as the actually high
est peak anywhere around; whereas the
Kigi stands a mere observatory in the
center of a girdle -of mountains, alt in
finitely grander and nobler than itself. I
don't want to nuike "odorous" compari
sons about the incomparable; I merely
mean that, all things considered, the
view from the American mountain is not
quite so fine as one might naturally have
I expected it to le for its height above sea
level. For one flung, there is little or no
water in sight, only a stray lake or two,
shimmering, pond like, inXhe remoter dis
tance. No near tarns, as in the deep
comles of Snow-don; no sea, as from Ben
Nevis and Ilelvellyn; no winding meres,
as when one looks down on Lucerne and
Zurich; rather a tumultuous mob of
surging mountains like the serried ranks
of the Dc-eside hills fntm top of tho lcli
nagar. Still, I will frankly admit it is a mag
nificent prosj)ect in its own way. ' West
ward, through the faint blue haze, the
Camel's hump and the Green mountains
of Vermont loom indistinctly on tho
cloudy horizon. Eastward, the other
great peaks of the presidential range
Jefferson, Adams, Madison rising to
above the limit of trees and w ith their
gaunt bare summits of loose strewn
bowlders remind mo more of Cader Idris
and of the Coudon, near Toulon, than of
any other masses I have seen anywhere.
Southward, tho more wooded and round
ed tops of Kearsarge.and its giant neigh
bors recall rather St. Catherine's peak
and the Blue mountains of Jamaica.
Grant Allen, in Longman's Magazine.
Important Arclur-ologlcal TMscot-ery,
At the state department I read the
manuscript rejiort of M. Bissinger, our
consul at Bey rout, Syria, announcing an
important archaeological discovery, which
has caused a great sensation in Sedan, a
town of 12.000 people, on the east shore
of the Mediterranean. It seems that re
cently a shaft thirty feet square and
from thirty-five to forty feet deep was
discovered one mile out of town. Cleared
of the earth this shaft led into a rock
chamber, where at the present time more
than sixteen Wautiful and perfectly pre-
- served sarcophagi have lieen found. Iliese
are a clay white marl tie, save one, which
is of black marble, having a peaked
shaped lid. The marble is highly pol
ished, and some of the sarcophagi arc
wonderfully carved and very beautiful.
They show in has relief lions' heads,
eagles, horses, centaurs, men, etc. Some
are tKiintcd, and others have inscriptions.
One is a Greek temple. Some arc cut of
solid blocks. They are supposed to lie
long to the Egypto Phoenician type of
art, and are verv ancient. Fuller Walker
in Kansas Citv Journal.
The Meerschaum Industry.
It is not generally known that the or
dinary meerschaum of piie bowls, tip
and ornaments is a true mineral. It is
found in considerable !eds in Crimea, the
island of Negropont, and in Asia Minor.
In chemical constitution it is a combina
tion of magnesia, carbonic acid gas and
water. The largest and Ix'st pieces arc
sent to Vienna, while tho smaller bits are
purchased for the north German in
dustry. At the little dorf of Ruhla, dis
tant sixteen kilometers from the lustoric
Eisenach, is the center of the business.
The exxu-ts of finished products from
that village alono amounts to several
millions annually. The IkmLs of meer
schaum are owned by the Turkish g
eminent, but are worked by European
capital. About 4,000 men are employed
at the mines. Chicago lriounc,

A little while bac k there was a "strong
man who traveled about the country
performing very wonderful feats, but he
had the misfortune to quarrel one night
with an assistant, who with superhuman
struggles was wont to hand him the gi
gantic camion balls necessary for the per
formance. The assistant had demanded
increased wages; the demand was re
fused. The performance proceeded swim
mingly, but when tho applause was at its
height, tho assistant collected the objects
on tho stage, which in the aggregate
should have weighed about a ton and a
half, threw them lightiy on a tray, and
jauntily carried off all with one hand.
The "strong man" never exhibited at that
place of entertainment again. Fhuadel-

Decimal Clock In Wiesbadru.
There is a decimal clock i;i 'Wiesbaden'
which is constructed on the following
principle: The day has 10 hours, thd
hour 10 decades,-each decade 10 minutes,
each minute 10 seconds and each second
10 rays thus dividing the whole day
into 100,000 parts. A similar division is
to be applied to the circle, llerr Moder,
of that city, goes still further, and pro
poses to divide the year into 10 months
the even months of 30, the uneven ones
of 87 days each. The advantages of this
decimal system are placed in evidence,
and the inventor hopes to see the same
adopted before long in spite of the present
opposition. New York Tribune.
The Sun is Not Bine.
A year ago Professor Langlev, the dis
tinguished American astronomer, per
formed an experiment in the theatre of
the Royal institution to show that the
true color of the sun is blue. He argued
that the atmosphere cut off a large pro
portion of the blue rays, and that, if the
observer could get beyond it, tho sun
would look blue. Capt. Abney, in a
lecture on "Sunlight Colors,' rejected
tins experiment, adopting Prof. Langley's
figures with mathematical accuracy, but
dispensing with his paper disks, which
this lecturer held vitiated the result, and
ho showed that the color of the sun was
not blu, but very ivarly that of tho
white light to Ijc seen at high elevations
in a clear, dust-free atmosphere. London

Woman nnri Her Work.
"Could a man make a shirt for sis
rents?'' asks Charles Dudley Warner in
IIarr's. "No! What limit is there to
a woman's ambition or iierformancc!
She drives a stage, plays the violin, sews,
sings, dances, acts, jiaints (both in oil
and water' colors), teaches, is a clerk, a
typewriter, a typesetter, an editor, a
marvelous producer of short stories (said
by critics to be the most difficult art in
the world), a telegrapher, and as a yeller
through the telephone probably will never
have an equal. Go where you will there
is woman, lovely or plain, ready to cure,
to cliide, to guide, to aid, to instruct, to
amuse, to rule, to lead, and point tbe
way for halting man."

Pure In Heart.
Almost every one appreciates the duty
of governing the tongue, although few
people dwell upon the necessity of con
trolling the thoughts. Right speaking is
a recognized duty, but right thinking is
too often classed among the impossibili
ties of life. '
"It may be wicked to feel so, butl
can't help my thoughts," apologetically
says some detractor.
Tlie excuse 13 a generally accepted one,
but it has not sufficient foundation in
fact. Isolated thoughts cannot always
be controlled. They flash into the mind
like obstinate sprites, and the more one
fixes the attention upon them in disap
proval the more impossible does it be
come to expel them.
It is, however, within the limits of hu
man effort to control the tendency of the
thoughts. Wlien a malicious or frivo
lous member of the tribe starts - into
lieing they can be best combated, not by
out and out fighting, but by turning in
stantly to another class of valuable and
interesting reflection.
The mind may be so thoroughly disci
plined that its thoughts shall be - drilled
battalions of soldiers. They will doubt
less be always raw troops, not marching
according to strict military rule, and not
in all cases sure to obey upon the mo
ment, but they will steadily improve -with
practice, conforming themselves more
and more to the true and the good.
Physiologists have a great deal to say
about the force of habit. Dispose the
brain toward a certain line of thought
and it will keep it with increasing steadi
ness, for purely physical reasons. It lias
its automatic action, as the fingers have
theirs, when they so accustom them
selves to seeking the keys of the piano
tliat they find them without the aid of
the eyes.
The discipline of the thoughts contrib-utes-to
the intellectual as well as moral
development. There are in all lives un
occupied intervals of time, when one is
riding to and from his place of business,
or taking his "constitutional," for ex
ample, lie cannot read or study to ad
vantage at such moments, but instead of
letting the mind drift whither it will, he
can fix it upon the last poem he has read
or upon some truth from an author of
yalue. Youth's Companion
The Persian Antelope.
The Persian antelope seems to be a
duplicate of his distinguished American
relative in a general all round sense; he
is, if anything, even more nimble footed
than the spring heeled habitue of the
west, possesses the same characteristic
jerky jump, and hoists the same con
spicuous wliite signal of retreat. He is a
decidedly slimmer built quadruied, how
ever, than the American antelope the
body is of the same square build, but is
sadly lacking in plumpness, and beseems
to be an altogether lankier and less well
flavored animal. For this constitutional
difference ho is probably indebted to the
barren and inhospitable character of the
country over "which he roams, as com
pared with the splendid feeding grounds
of the far west. The Persians sometimes
hunt the anteloi on horseback, with
falcons and greyhounds; the falcons are
taught to fly in advance and attack the
fleeing antelope about the head, and so
contuse tnem and retard tneir progress
in the interest of the pursuing hounds
and horsemen. Outing.
"The Queen'. Pipe."
In the center of the tobacco ware
houses at the London docks there is an
immense kiln, which is kept continually
burning, day and night, and goes by the
name of the queen's tobacco pipe. The
English government has a different way
of treating confiscated articles than that
in use in this country, one of them being
to utilize; them as fuel for what is termed
re oueen's smokin?. Whenever mer-
M. - f
chandise is seized for nonpayment of
duty, or because it is considered under
the law as in a damaged or unsalable
condition, it is taken to this great kiln
and burned there, the owners having no
remedy. The only utilization that is
made of these seizures is from the sale of
the ashes from the furnace, which, to
the amount of a great many tons a
month, are sold by auction to chemical
works, and to farmers and others to be
used in enriching the soil. There is a
similar but smaller queen's tobacco pipe
in the government tobacco warehouses
at Liverpool, these two forming the
points of destruction for all confiscated
merchandise in the United Kingdom.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Dickens an an Actor.
Carlyle referred to Dickens as an actor,
liaving seen him in one of his amateur
performances. He gave it as Ids opinion
that Dickens' genius was essentially his
trionic and mimetic; that with his faculty
of keen and minute observation, bis
general alertness of mind and body, his
mobile power of gesture and expression,
he had all the requisites of a successful
actor, and that had lie lived at a great
period of the drama, in the Elizabethan
age for instance, his genius would have
found its appropriate outlet on the stage.
He would have become a popular comic
actor, wntmg a humorous piece now
and then, perhaps, as was the custom of
such actors in those days. But while
living under different conditions and
working with his jx?n, his books still re
tained and revealed the native genius of
their author. They had the sustained, if.
rather jerky, liveliness, the pleasant
tricks and mannerisms of humorous por
traiture upon the stage. He was, in
short, a 1xni actor. The Athenannn.
A Derbyshire Story.
A correspondent calls to mind tliat in
Derbyshire a story was told about fifty
years ago which has some resemblance to
the story of Tarn o Shanter, as related
or adapted by Burns Lpon a dark even
ing, as a man was riding homeward, he
passed a large house which was all ablaze
with light. From within came a sound
of music and dancing. The house, he
knew, was said to be haunted, and, being
curious to see wliat was going on, he
went in at the door. He was invited by
the revelers, who appeared to be ordinary
men and women, to supper. According
ly he sat down at the supper table, but
before he began to eat he asked his host
to say grace. The guests said, "Hush!"
but the host did not say grace. Then the
stranger shut his eyes and said grace
himself devoutly. When he opened them
all was still, the inmates had gone and he
was left m utter darkness. Notes and
Queries.

THE BEAUTIFUL WEST INDIES.
A Healthful Climate and Magnificent
Scenery Plain and Cordillera.
Those islands are as distinct in features
as in origin. Some are suggestive of a
period when a large portion of our con
tinent was submerged in the ocean.
Others are towering masses of trap rock,
with cone like summits, declaring their
volcanic descent. Others for ages havo
been in a progressive state the work of
tho invisible zophite architect. Some
liave not yet risen above the belt of foam
that marks their existence as coral reefs,
and notifies the mariners of danger,
while others soar above the tides and "
bloom with evidences of bounteous liar
vests. Servile insurrections, attended
with great loss of property and life, have, -in
j-ears pajsr, retarded the prosperity of
those islands. Shocks of earthquake
there have alarmed the inhabitants, and
the serenity of the heavens is often dis
turbed by the desolating track of tlic
hurricane. Large conflagrations liavo
occurred there, as in tfco United States, '
but energy has surnif.inted those losses
by fire, and better built houses Jiave "
arisen from the ruins.
From December to May the climate is
delightful and healthy, even along the
coast, where, in tho summer months,
yellow- fever occasionally occurs. The
mountainous regions or cordilleras, where
the wealthy planters have their elegant
residences, are blessed with a perennial
springtime and exempted from epidemic
influences. The mean temperature of
these highlands is about 70 Fahrenheit, .
and at the elevation of 2,500 feet
you are securely fortified against the
attacks of yellow jack. Beauty
and sublimity in a pre-eminent de
gree are combined in the scenery of thoso
cordilleras, especially in tho blue moun
tains of Jamaica, the largest and most
valuable island of the British West In
dies. The loftiest peak of that ridge,
wldch extends some fifty leagues in
length, is nearly 8.000 feet high, although
the mean elevation dyes not exceed one- '
third of that measurement. The crest of.
the chain is so sharp that in many places
it is only four yards across; the escarp- .
ments are wild, the declivities steep,
checkered in places with stately forest
growth. The more elevated ranges are
flanked by btill lower ones, and these Tiy
verdant savannalvs.
A belt of intervening plain lies between
the ocean and the blue cordillera and is
brightened with tracks of guinea grass,
corn, sugar cane and groves of cocoa and
plant-iin proudly tossing their palmatod
heads in unison with the rustling airs.
There are also the tapering furnaces
of the sugar works, tho overseer's dwell
ing and clusters of the laborers' huts.
But those evidences of culture and popu
lation are not confined to the plain. Look
np the steep, rugged side of the cordillera
and you will see where its precipitousiiess'
does not render cultivation impossible.
The dark tint of the woodland that gives
a name to the mountam chain ; is diversi
fied with the light ; green of cultivated
fields and golden shades of ripening cere
als. You will see abrupt cliffs dotted
with w hite specks as points of rock, or
perchance rexainding you of an eaglc'a
aerie, When with a telescope these points
are brought closer to your vision, you be
hold one white s;eck transformed into a
lovely country seat, othere into hamlets
nestling on the brows of precipices 3,000
feet or more in height. Bridle paths .
scarcely twelve feet wide are cut up tho
sides of this cordillera to its gorges and
tablelands, for journeys in the interior
are generally made on "horseback, as the
asperities of the country are unfavorable
to the transit of carriages. Baltimore

Omaha Man Are you makinjra fair
living out of your Kansas farm?
Kansas Man Iivine;? Whv I'm rich.
You see, there was a little piece of poor
ground back of tho dugout which was
not fit for anything. Well, one day
brother Jake dreamed there was gold
under it, and the next morning he
offered me $100 for it, on lone time, of
course, for he hadn't any money, and I
sola it.
"Yes."
"Well, Brother Bill heard of Jake's
dream and bought the lot of him for
$1,000, in the same wav, you know.
Then I got scared and bought it back for
3,0H0. Then i sold it to Bill for $10,
000, and so it went on until a few days
ago, when I got the lot again and sold it
to Jake for $100,000. Just think of it.
No more farming for me."
"But what security have you to show
for all that value if Jake has no
money?"'
"Why, I've got a mortgage on the
lot." Omaha World.
