The occurrence furnishes n lit text for the pen of the humorist. Yet ns a matter of fact la It not true that a very large number of white men who arc young, vigorous nnd presumably c.ip ilile of making n place for themselves In tin? world nro likewise iHissosacd of this particular form of lunacy? How many Senators and Congressmen, If they should Kpenk out frankly, could furnish some Interesting revelations retarding tho extent and persistency of Uie Importunity to which they havo been subjected by people who were convinced Hint they ought to havo n government Job mid who frankly based their prfcrencc for this sort of employment on their belief that It was about tno easiest that could bo found anywhere? There Is, of course, noUdng dishonorable In seeking n sulKirdlnate Mjsltloti under the government In some branches of the public service, owing to Uie gradual Intro duction of the merit system, there Is more ehanco than formerly for promotion based on fitness nnd capacity. llut It Is undoubtedly true that the belief that work for the government Is usually "an easy Job," Inspires the bulk of the applicants who annoy members of both houses of Con gress with their appeals. Yet Is this the way to win gen uine success? In n task that Is "easy" the kind which the average healthy young person should look for? Men who have risen to eminence In trade, Industry and professional life have not wasted their time In hunting up places where they would have llttlo to do with com Kiratlvly small prospect of advancement. They have reso lutely looked for openings which wcro accompanied by hard labor and plenty of It; and when they havo secured such an opening they have usually proved that they had the right stuff In them by buckling down with energy lo do their best. rhlladelphla Iiulletln.

So compared, Japan Is. of course, a little place, which looks on the maps almost Inslgnlllcnnt. Compared, however. In a more sensible way, with Uie other Island Empire which has so long been one of tho Great Powers of Uie world, Japan Is by no means small, lis total area, without count ing Formosa, Is by twenty-seven thousand square miles greater than that of the Ilrltlsh Isles, nnd as large a pro portion of It Is fertile and thickly populated. That popula tion, again, is forty-four millions, or three millions greater than that of Hrltnln. six millions greater than that of France, and nlmost equal to that of Austria-Hungary. If the word "little," again, refers to strength for war. that Btrength Is In many respects superior to our own. We could probably destroy the Japanese fleet, but Uie Japanese fleet has destroyed that of Russia, and could. If allowance Is made for position, maintain a contest with tlmt of France or Uermany which would not be absolutely hopeless. As regards soldiers, Japan has a conscription, and the conscription obviously works. Within the last six months the country has sent out six armies, each nearly equal to cither of the forces that contended nt Wntcrloo. We Uiought we had done a great thing when we sent eighty thousand men to India In 1857, and an extraordinary one when we transported two hundred thousand men to South Africa In 1000. llut Japan has transported more than four hundred thousand men across tho sea, and defied the Itus- nre estl- wi ,,,, vnr wagon to star look to the strength of your bar uess. slans nt Lin Yang and Port Arthur wlUi armies greater In the aggregate than that which Napoleon III. mobilized for tho Invasion of Oermany. Of the quality of those forces it Is unnecessary to speak. Sailors and soldiers nllko are, In discipline, In speed of marching, nnd in endurance ot faUguc, the equals of any Uiat Kurope has produced; while In their reckless contempt of death Uicy display a apeclal quality which, as great Itussian ofllcers ndmlt, somcUmes appals nnd demoralizes their own stubbornly brave men.

It Is hard for the senslUve and aspiring and tender hearted to bear the sorrows of the world and to sit with a cheerful spirit while so many losses ravage the homes that are dear to them and despoil the best fortunes of men. There are hosta of men and women who go through life with a noble discontent In their hearts, a sense of loneli ness and IsolaUon In their souls; they are homoslck for a world In which men help Instead of smite, bind up Instead of wound, arc quick to recognize the good lnsetad of eager to find the evil, stand ready In all crises to rebuild Uie fallen, ore patient of spirit with Uie weak, love the sinner while they loathe the sin, are kindly In speech bocause kind' ly In thought, are indifferent to external conditions because conditions are Uie happenings of life while tho eoul la Its great and enduring reality, nre bound together In a vast conspiracy to cheer, to aid, to give heart and hope, to make Uie highways of life bloom with spontaneous kindness, nnd to make Uie lonely world a warm, hospitable, many-win-dowed home for all who pass this way on Uie Journey of life. Men are made happy, not byithe things which surround them nor by tho things which Uiey take to themselves, but by Uie no-blo putting forth of the soul In love and work; Uie two great activities which nre never divorced In the harmonious and balanced life, the two languages In which every true Idealist makes confession of his faith and gives evidence of Its reality. For lore is the ultimate expression of faith, and without works faith is a vain shadow. The Outlook. Criminal Frequency of Railroad Wrecks. UE frequency nnd frightful fatality of railroad accidents In this country must sooner or later bring about determined governmental action for the protection of Uie traveling public. There, Is not another country In the world where aa unnecessarily large a proportion of railroad pas sengers lose llfo or limb. The fact) that so many American railroads are composed of but a single track Is a parUal explanation of this awful slaughter, but It does not account for everything. In Eng land, where accidents of- serious proportions are so com paratively few, railroad precautions for the safety of the public are prescribed, and supervised, by the Board ot Trade, and the wholesomeness ot this regulation was rec ognized by a bill which was Introduced In Congress last winter, providing for a similar supervision of our roads by the Interstate Commerce Commission1 The Interstate Commerce Commljjlon is already a use ful body, but It would bo of larger fne If this new power were given to It The railroad lnfldence blocked the bill Just mentioned ot the last session, but this fact should not deter the vigorous revival of Uie measure.

MINING ARSENIC A Virginia farmer, up among th- foot-hills of the Iilue Itldge Moun tains, cleared n new Held nnd pastur ed Ids cows there, llefore long the ani mals sickened and one died. Think ing that perhaps the spring which bubbled from the rocks In apparent purity might be tho cause, the farmer caused Its waters to be analyzed. It was found that they contained arsenic In such quantities as to render them dangerous to man and beast This discovery, says the Itoston Herald, led to nn Industry, unique, not only In the United States, but In the westeru hemisphere; that is, the mining of ar senic ores nnd the manufacture of white arsenic, for tho supply of which America has hitherto depended en tirely upon foreign markets. Arsenslc Is mined In Japan, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany and Eng land. Its uses aro many. As a poi son It lias been known from very ear Ij times. Tho peasant women of Aus tria consume largo quanUtles of It, having faith lu Its virtues ns a beau tiller, and the men of the same region are addicted to Its use tu the mistaken belief Unit It Increases their bodily strength ami endurance. Arsenic Is a useful mineral. It Is used in the manufacture ot glass, white metal, Parts green nnd a great variety of paints; in printing calico. In making- toilet 0"P. cosmetics nnd complexion powders; In tho manufac ture of fireworks nnd as a constituent of many alloys. For thew and simi lar purposes between Uvo and six thousand tons nro Imported Into the United States every year. The aver age value of whlto arsenic may be placed nt about clghtyllvo dollars a ton. It was only about n year ago that the arsenic ore was discovered In Vir ginia; then the mountain lop round the present mining town of llrlnton was nn almost unbroken wilderness. The story of Its transformation Into a busy Industrial community Is n good Illus tration of the pluck and lndomltablo will to which America owes Its induv trial supremacy. The mine Is located at the summit of a mountain, three thousand feet above the sea-level. The physical difficulties that had to lie overcome wero enormous. The ore body averages twenty-five to thirty per cent pure arsenic. It Is found In flssuro veins, cropping out at the surface and extending Into Uie earth for an unknown 'dlstanco. Twenty distinct veins have boen dls. covered, outcropping for a distance ot aeven miles, so that tie deposits are extensive enough to supply the world's demands for nn Indefinite period. From Uie time when the ore enters the crushers until the finished prod uct reaches the casks It Is untouched by human hands, It Is carried along from point to point by automatic ar rangements through each process of manufacture. The Impalpable dust nnd poisonous gases generated are so dangerous that the atmosphere of the plant has to be kept pure by artificial means. As a further precaution tha works are provided with hot and cold baths, of which the men are required to make use as soon as their dally task Is completed. At the present Hme the output ts three tons of white arsenic a day. When one stops to think of them, these figures contain some startling possibilities. The output for four days would furnish a fatal doso for every man, woman and child In the United States. In a few weeks tho plant could turn out enough arsenic to wipe out the enUro population ot the globe. RESEMBLANCES. Cousin Who Warn Alwaya Dlacoverldir Them Wiia Misunderstood. The "new cousin," as little brother called her because this was her first visit to the Barclays, had not made herself popular. One might have gath ered the reason from Uie talk that went on at tho tea table the evening when Bhe, Lena Martin, was tempo rnrlry the guest of other cousins in an ndjolnlng town. Horace Barclay, the young law student, began It. "I'm wondering," he said, whimsi cally, "whether Lena Is busy at this .moment pointing out to Jim Barclay how many little ways ho has that re mind her of mo. She's told me n good many times, you know, how much I resemble Jim In nppearanco and char acter, nnd since he looks like a convict nnd hasn't nny character, I " "It doesn't so mluch matter about Jim and you, "Marian, his elder sister, broke In, hot with her private griev ance. "You'ro men, and nobody tjhlnks nbout men's looks. But Lena keeps telling me how like I am to that old miniature of great-grandma and I've .detested that picture ever since I can Vemember. I don't think It's the least like any of our family." "Lena says I look like a little girl she knew that died," the younger Bis ter, nose, murmured, plaintively. She told me that chicken-coop I built was Just like one she saw In the Trlbunel" growled Hoy. "That's worsen anything she told you others, cause I didn't copy that chlcken-copp, I built It out of my own head." "Can't tell her a story but lfs like something she heard years ago!" Ma rian sputtered again. "Can't play any thing but It reminds here of a piece her music teacher used to play. To hear her talk, you'd think she'd read or heard or seen everything In the world, or something Just like It except for tho name." "Mamma," little brother Interjected. In real alarm, "because she's our cous in, do we have to be Just llko her?" "No, dear," the mother answered, gently. "But I want you all to realize that Lena's fault originated lu pure kindness ot heart "She means well, but her habit ot trying to trace resemblances la a dan gerous one because we all cherish our own Individuality. There are not many persons we really wish to resemble, I think, and when Lena flnde likenesses offhand, of course she la liable to Iden tify us with people we don't admire. "I have never heard your cousin' say anything that was not Intended to com. pllment us or to show an Interest In the t hint's that Interested us. Do Jus tice to her good Intention. Don't 1ml. tato her methods; do take pattern by her generous motive." Youth's Com panion. "Tho Thin Ited Iilne." Somebody told Mr. Jcnks that red flannel worn next to the skin would cure the rheumatism from which he suffered. So be purchased several acta of red flannel undergarments. The clerk assured him that the firm guar anteed the goods In every particular. About two weeks later, says the New York Times, Mr. Jcnks revisited the shop, sought out tho proprietor and told his woful story. "Tho goods are the best In the -house," declared the proprietor. "Of course," ho said, In the reasonable tone used on unreasonable persons, "ot courso tho shirts may have shrunk or faded a little " "Shrunkl Faded!" bellowed Mr. Jcnks. "What do you think my wife said to me when I came down to break fast yesterday with ono ot them on?" The proprietor looked bored. "Well, sir," said the aggrieved Jenks, "she looked at mo a minute, and then said, 'What la that little red line round your neck, John? It Isn't the baby's string of coral beads, ts It?' " TJeelea Trouble. She Do you suppose, Mr. Pickering, that you could toacj me to swim? He Certainly, But I'll have to put my arms around you. Bhe But what's the use of getting all wet for that? Most men are pretty deliberate, when about their work, much as w say about Americana being; overworked. 1 -vrtri ' y aaaa m In the fuco, great doep
