True worth Is In being—not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by

Of great things to do hy-and bye.
For whatever men say in blindness,
And spite of the fancies of youth,
Tho e’s nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure—
We cannot do wrong and feel right;
Nor can we give pain »nd gain pleasure,
Fur Justice avenges each slight.

But always the p:»;h that is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
We cannot mike bargains for blisses;
Nor catch them, like ti.-hes, in nets;
And sometimes the things our life misses
Help more than the things which we get.
For good lietb not In pursuing
Nor gaining of great nor of small;
But just in the doing, and doing
As we would bo done by, is all.

For he who is honed is noble,

The Cartwright Twins.
f lir MBS. M. A. KIDDER,
It was a low, rambling, shed of a
house—mado, it is true, to 1 wk pictur¬
esque by the wealth of green vines aud
Japanese climbing roses that com¬
pletely covered the low eaves and even
crept across the roof and peeped over
on the other side. The flowers and
vines were twined a d intertwined
till the cottage looked like a lloral
bower, and fit for a fairy princess.
But this was all outside show, like
many another dwelling-place, both of
soul and body, iu this struage, deceiv¬
ing world.
It took the winds of autumn and
the u ild, rude storms of winter to
strip it of its glory.
Inside it was a clicerle's, bare place,
consisting of sitting-room, bedivoin,
ana kitchen, with a loft or garret
where the pigeons roosted aud the rats
and mice held high revelry.
The sitting-room was parlor and
dining-room as well, except when
James Cartwright, the hard-working
tenant, was too busy to tramp a half-
mile to eat his frugal dinner at his
own humble board; then it was that
little Susie put up a leaf in the kitchen
table set against the wall, placed two
plates and a corresponding number of
knives and two-tined forks, a cup nnd
a saucer, a p ate of sweet butter, and
a home-mado loaf, with some simple
relish thereon, with a cap of tea al¬
ways for mother.
Susie’s hands were small, yet very
busy. Scarce a head taller than the
table, she was as handy as many a
grown maiden i i cutting the bread,
pouring out tho tea, and better than
all, in washing the di-lies—the dtvad
of all housekeepers—aud tidying up
the room till it shone.
There were no ottoman?, velvet
tapestry, or stuffed inniiturc, to ar¬
range and keep clean. The well-worn
rag carpet, the half-dozen cane-seat
chairs, and old-fashioned mahogany
table, that had once belonged to
“Grannv Cartwright,” with the well-
filled work-basket on the wide win-
dow-Iedge, comprised the appointments
of the simple “best room.”
Mrs. Cartwright was an invalid, but
she “mourned not as those without
hope.” When the sweet May flower s
should blossom and the hills bo clad in
green, she prayed that her “hope”
might blossom also in strength and
beauty—in short, that the little one
they expected would bo perfect and
comely.
If Susie (who was ten years old)
had 1 ecu more of the hopes and as-
pirntions of her parents, and had a
voice or choice in the matter, she
would have expressed her longings
for a “little sister,” but. as it was,
there were devout inward prayers <ro-
ing up from the hearts of the humble
pair that the baby might be a boy!
“Our prayers are
Ilia,” said plain James Cartwright, as
he kissed his wife and glanced at the
hour-old, red- faced baby in the nurse’s
arms, two mouths laicrthan when our
story opens, “I would remain with
you longer, but an important j b is

quested him, though in rather an awk¬
ward manner.
“Did you kiss tho baby at noon,
father?”
“Yes, Susie.”
“Well, this isn’t the same one you
kissed then, father,” and Susie laughed
till the tears ran down her checks at
the choice bit of news she lmd to tell
him.
“What do you mean, Sue!”
“Why, we’ve got twins—didn’t you
know it, father? Tlio sweetest little
boy and girl that yon ever saw. The
doctor brought the girl after yon weut
to work.”
This was a poser.
.lames Cartwright loved his ivifc and
children; but another girl, anti a tw in
at that, was more than ho could exactly
be thankful for, in his straitened
circumstances. Martha could not nurse
botii, so a nurse must be kept and that
would take tho little he was trying
every week to lay by against the “rainy
day,” that was sure to come some time.
With these thoughts in his mind he
stepped softly into the poorly fur¬
nished bedroom, and kissed the cheek
of his patient wife, his Martha, who
had borne with him the heat and bur¬
den of life s battle, ami been to him
at all limes a helpmate in the fullest
sense of the word.
“They are darlings, arc they not
James?” the yale bps murmured, as
the nurse uncovered the tiny twain,
nestled in each other's arms.
“They are pretty enough, Martha,
but a little more than we prayed for or
wished; don't you think so dear,
our small resources?”
“Oh, James, you are not pleased,
or you wouldn’t speak in that way.
God ordaineth all things, love, aud
will provide.”
The twins grew apace and wove the
and wonder of the neighborhood
for their intelligence and beauty, and
it was,too,the wonder of the neighbor¬
hood that James Cartwright never
seemed as fond of his baby girl as of
ids other children.
“She came two years too soon,” he
would say, laughingly, “and cost mo
ail iny spare money.”
Six years passed away and Susie
Cartwright, who had grown to be a
delicate, pretty maiden of sixteen,
scented bound up iu the twins. What¬
ever love and attention wa3 lacking
on the father’s part for little Pauline
was fully made up by the mother and
daughter.
Strange as it seemed, though, the
little girl idolized iter father, and w as
never happy out of his sight. Site and
little Paul would oftentimes wander
down to the blacksmith’s shop, and
linger around until time for dinner or
supper. Then James Cartwright
would issue from the shop, clasp his
boy in his arms, perch him upon his
shoulder, and start for home, leaving
Pauline to trudge along as she could-
The little thing was old enough now
to feel the slight (having arrived at
the age of six years), and resent it.
“Won’t you take me up, papa?”
“No. Papa must carry his own
darling boy. Y T ou run home to
mother.”
“No, I sha’n’t. If you won’t carry
me, I sha’n’t go home,” said the will-
ful little Pauline. “I ll go see grasid-
ma.”
Pauline turned short, and went in
the opposite ditec ion down tho road.
James Cartwright had been so busy
f rollicking with his boy that this proud
little speecli was lost upon him, and
when lie reached his cottage the child
was nowhere to be seen,
“Wnich way did she go, father? ’
cried Susie, in alarm,
“She’s gone to grandma’s,” cried
Paul, tlse spoiled child.
“Grandma” was none oilier Ilian an
old half-civilized Indian woman, who
lived a mile from tho Carhvviglils, in
a h.;t standing back among the dense
woods, a short distance from the road,
In this direction Susie ran with all
her speed, her fat er quickly foilow-
ing; but Pauline was not in sight,
Sho aniveil at the old woman’s lint,
only to find it bolted and barred, with
no sign of life within.
• •She lias gone off on one of her
tramps,” said Cartwright, wiping the
perspiration frem iiis face, “What

“Hunt till we find our darling—

a changed man.
CARNESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31,1890.
“I murmured when sho was born,"
ho would say, “and God has taken her;
but my punishment seems greater thau
1 can bear.”
Ten years passed. Susie was mar¬
ried and settled in the far-West, and
Paul was at boarding-school, many
miles away, when the lonely couple
were surprised, one bright Sunday
morning, by the sudden appearance of
the old Indian woman in the sitting,
room. She kept about the village n
great deal of the time, but seldom
made calls.
“Are ye lonesome, old Cartwright t”
said tiio half-breed, in a not very re¬
spectful manner.
•‘Yes, Kale; it seems like a tomb
hero,” said the sorrow-stricken father.
“Your conscience troubles ye about
yer lost papoose, doesn’t it, old man?”
“Ilush, Kate, will you? Don’t
bring up the terrible past!”
“Ye’d like to see her, I take it?
What’ll ye give?”
Something in tho old woman's eyb
startled the old man.
“Is she aiive, Kate? For Heaven’s
sake, tell me! Do you know anything
about lier?”
“Who said I did?” said tho old
woman, chuckling. “I said what’ll
“All my little savings, which isn’t
much. Everything I have in the
world, Kate, shall be yours if you but
bring me iny darling—my lost Paul¬
ine !”
The old woman went out, chuckling
to herself.
In the evening she came back,bring¬
ing with her a tall, graceful girl, the
very image of what Susie had been ten
years before.
“Here she is, old Cartwright. I
didn't mean to steal her, but I found
her trudgin’ along my way one day,
and I thought I’ll teach you a lesson;
and so I took her to a city lady, who
brought her up and sent her to school.
She knows enough, and she hasn’t for¬
got you neither. Now let me tell you
one thing. Every Indian father and
mother love their papooses, no mattei
how many come, even beasts do, foi
that matter. I don’t want you;
mon"}’, only as much as'11 get me a
dinner, perhaps, so good-by, don't bo
sparing of your love now 1”
There was groat rejoicing at the
Cartwi ight cottage, and the whole
village ivjoiced in sympathy, though
they felt indignant enough against
Kate to tar and feather her for
ing the girl. But the Indian woman
had disappeared, and was never seen
in the neighborhood

Novel Apparatus for Ship Signaling.
It is stated that a novel apparatus
for signaling, which lias been perfected
in the East and is used on some of tin
United States war ships, will shortly
be introduced oil this coast. Elec¬
tricity is one of the principal agents ii
the apparatus, which may be used foi
day or night signaling. It consists ol
a hollow iron pole, from the sides ol
which project four metal frames, twe
on a side, each containing two hori¬
zontal shutters mounted on axes, sc
that they can be revolved. One sidi
of each pair of shutters is painted ver-
tic illy with red and white stripes,
while a while dia nond on a dark
ground is on the other side. The shut-
ters represent the alphabet and certain
signals also.
By causing any shutter to be exposed
bv pulling any of a system of chain,
any letter or word desired may be ex¬
posed and flashed. The operator has
in front of him only four levers and a
card upon which the signal code is
printed. Four electric lamps are fixed
on the four corners of the frames.
They are intended to be used for night
signaling and are backed by colored re¬
flectors and connected with a dynamo.
By depressing a switch its correspond¬
ing lamp is placed in the circuit and
lighted. On releasing the switch the
light is extinguished. The new meth¬
od is calculated lo prove a wonderful
success.— [San Francisco Chronicle.

THE YAVI-SUPAIS.
Ar. Almost Unknown Indian
Tribo in Arizona.
Plscoverod in a Starving Con¬
dition by a Californian.
Colonel W. II. Holabird of Clare¬
mont, Los Angeles county, is at tho
Palace Hotel, having just returned
from an exploring expedition in the
canyons of tho Colorado’. He left
Williams, a station on the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad, with his guide, Wil¬
liam Bass, a teamster, a photographer
and two servants, ami traveled through
an almost wholly unexplored region.
About 100 milos due north of Williams
lie found the Yavi-Supui tribe of In¬
dians, living iu exclusion ill Cataract
canyon, not far from the Grand can¬
yon of tho Colorado.
“1 found there a strange race of
red moil,” said Colonial Holabird to a
C ironicle reporter last evening. “I
guess I was the second white man who
ever visited their canyon. They are a
peaceable people, but avoid coming in
contact with the whites. They arc of
the Apache family, but are evidently
a very ancient people. Tho men are
magnificent specimens of manhood,
with fine physiques. I rounded up
the settlement and counted just 247 of
them, fully two-thirds being females.
The valley in which their tribe have
lived for many year, in seclusion has
but two ways of approach. It contains
perhaps 2000 acres, and is inclosed by
almost perpendicular walls 4000 feci
“The chief of the strange tribe liv¬
ing in this canyon is an old man of 60
years named Captain Tom, a name
given him by John I). Lee, tho Mor¬
mon, who escaped from U all and for
six years lived in hiding wi.h the rod
men. lie was the first white man the
Y'avi-Supais had ever scon, and he
taught the chief the white man’s lan¬
guage and the use of firearms. The
Indians live in small houses woven
from young willow trees. They are a
simple and harmless people, wholly
unacquainted with civilization. The
young men are experts with the bow
and arrow, nnd can kill birds in the
air and rabbits on the run with the
greatest ease. The old chief met our
party with two warriors as a body¬
guard. They were decked up with
paint and their trappings, aud looked
fierce enough.
“I found ihese Indians in a starving
condition, living on cedar berries and
grass seeds. As soon as I reached the
railroad I communicated with tho In¬
terior Department, a-king for assis¬
tance for Ihese Indians, and the reply
from the Interior Department staled
that the red men were a wandering
people and could not ask (he govern¬
ment for assistance. I have since re¬
ported the ease to General Miles, and
lie lias promised to investigate the
matter. The Indians are not a roving
people, blit have lived in the canyon
for a century or more. General Miles
informed me that lie had heard of this
si range race, but had never been able
to secure a guide to the canyon where
they live.
“Dr. Samuel Dorchester, whom I
met at Williams, A. T., has just con¬
cluded taking the Indian census of
Arizona, which shows an Indian popu¬
lation in the territory as follows:
Navajos, 18,000; Papagog, Pimas and
Maricopas, 9000; San Carlos Apaches,
4500; Moquis, 2200; Mojaves, 2200
and Yavi-Stipnis, 250, being a total of
over 38.000 Indians in Arizona.”—

Temperature of the Sea.
The thermometer has become a u«e*
fnl instrument iu examining the basins
into which the bottom of tho sea is
divided. The geography of the sea-
botlom is determined from the tem¬
perature of the water as readily as it
would be by repeated soundings.
When tho Challenger cruised iu the
waters east and south of China several
years ago, the geography of the differ¬
ent seas formed by the groups and
chains of islands off that coast was
made out in this way.
In the open Pacific, and in all seas
into which the oceanic currents flow,
tho temperature varies from the sur¬
face to tne bottom. Of course the
deeper water is the cooler.
If a basin be cut off from this gen¬
eral flow up to within a certain depth
from the surface, then the temperature
will be found to lower just as ia the
ocean, until a depth is reached just
even with the top of the enclosing
bank or reef. From that point to the
bottom the temperature is found to be
uniform.
Some observations in the water's
named will make this intelligible. It
was found that the temperature of the
Celebes Sea varied until a depth of
hundred fathoms was reached.
that depth down to more than
hundred fathoms there was
perceptible clmngo. The walls of
basin, then, toward the Pacific, rise
within seven hundred fathoms of
the surface. No colder water than
of the tropical Pacific at a depth
seven hundred fathoms was poured
this basin, and that was tho
temperature that the basin could pre-
servo.
In the Sulu Sea the temperature re¬
mained the same from a depth of four
hundred fathoms to the bottom at
more than twenty-five hundred fath¬
oms. All this body of water was
warmer than that of (lie Celebes, be¬
cause the rim of its basin coming
nearer the surface, not so cold water
could flow in from the ocean.
Iu the Molucca passage tho tempera¬
ture of tho water decreased gradually
from the surfaco to the bottom. This
proves that these waters are not cut off
from tho ocean currents by any ridgo
toward tho Pacific.— [Youth's Com¬
panion.
Coffee Cochineal.
The coffee plantations in tho depart¬
ment of Amatitlan, Guatemala, have
lately been ravaged by a peculiar in¬
sect, which M. Adolf Vcndrell lias
ascertained to bo a new species of
cochineal. The principal industry in
this district formerly was the cultiva¬
tion of cochineal. When examined
microscopically, one of the in eets i:s
seen to contain a yellowish liquid with
thousands of little eggs. As tho de¬
velopment of the eggs continues they
become larger, and the liquid dimin¬
ishes, so that a dry insect contains no
liquid, but innumerable eggs of a red¬
dish yellow color, which look like
very fine powder, and are transported
hy the wind as easily as the pollen of
flowers.
In December the injects are in tho
former condition, and about February
and March the female insect reaches
the stage of full development and
ejects the eggs, covering them with its
body. The insects are only noticed on
the coffee plants when the females arc
fecundated; but by this time the plant
has become sickly nnd yellow; it is
imperfectly nutrified, and, should it
reach the frniting stage, tho berries
are small and of little value. M. Vcn-
drell thinks that this is because the in¬
sects extract nitrogen from the plants,'
and he consequently advises manuring
with nitrate of soda.—[Scientific

Norwegian Snowslioes.
For moving about in a region of
eternal snows there is no one to equal
the Norwegian snow-shoers. Two
years ago a little band of fifteen of
Ihese men were engaged by tho engi¬
neers who are constructing the new
line across the Andes which is to con¬
nect Chili with the Argentine Repub¬
lic. Their duly was to keep up com¬
munication between the various sta¬
tions, a task which till then had been
found to present insurmountable diffi¬
culties. The experiment appears to
have been attended with complete suc¬
cess. The snowshoers go about their*
errands in pairs. Their first passage
was attended with no little danger, the
tract being wholly unexplored. There
were neither guides nor landmarks;
but, after a long search, the pioneers
discovered a rivulet whose course
served to guide them to their destina¬
tion. Unfortunately two of the men
on this expedition fell over precipices
and received more or less serious in¬
juries. These, however, still remain
iu the service, and the little band of
mountain messengers with their wide
snow-shoes now number thirteen, who
receive T10 a month each, in addition
lo their free passage out.— [London

Pacific (toast Oysters.
Along the Pacific coast from San
Francisco, wherever thero is a shel¬
tered covo or bay, says the San Jo»e
(Cal.) Times, a little oyster lias its na¬
tive home. This bivalve, though
small, is of delicious flavor nnd when
properly prepared, makes an excellent
soup. Moreover, it has been demon¬
strated that the diminutive mollusk can,
by a systematic cultivation, be made
to grow much larger.
The establishment of oyster beds in
the bay about Alviso, New Chicago or
Albrae, although an apparently hum¬
ble industry, can be rendered very
profitable with comparatively little ex¬
penditure, save that of a moderate
amount of labor, coupled with ordi¬
nary intelligence.
The sling-vag and vicious cyabs are
rarely seen in the waters to which ref¬
erence is made and what destruction
they might do can be reduced to a min¬
imum. hope some one may give
these suggestions an attention similar
to that which has resulted in a small
fortune in more than one instance
upon this coast.

communists called at the Rothschild
establishment nml demanded to see
tho famous banker. Rothschild ap¬
peared, as suave as you please.
“Pray be seated, gentlemen,” said ho,
“and now what can I do for you?”
“Rothschild,” said tho chairman of
the committee, “our time lias come at
last. The people are triumphant—the
commune is on top.”
“G od for tho people—vive la com¬
mune!” cried Rothschild, gleefully.
“The time has conic,” continued the
chairman of the committee, “when
each must share equally with bis fel¬
low-citizen. Wo have been delegated
to call upon you and inform you that
you must share your enormous wealth
with your countrymen.
“If it is so decreed,” said Rothschild,
urbanely, “I shall cheerfully comply.
At how much is my fortune esti¬
mated?”
“At 200,000,000 francs,” replied the
leader, boldly.
“And at what is tho population of
France estimated?” asked Rothschild.
“Wo figure it at 50,000,000,” was
the answer.
“Well, then,” said Rothschild, “It
would appear that I owe each of my
countrymen about four francs. Now,

ducing a lot of silver, '‘here are
twenty-eight francs for you. I have
paid each of you, have I uot ? Pleuso
