THE JUDGMENT OF PARIS.
Three specters floating in the pallid light
That renders visible the endless night
Of the llerenfter. chatted, hulf in mirth
And half in musing, of their lives on earth.
The first with wrinkled face this story told.
In tones that sounded like the clink of gold-
One .lay Love. Wealth and Wisdom came to me.
And hade me choose the fairest of the three.
I jeered at W isdom and at sweot I/.ve sneered,
V| ze awarding when fair Wealth appeared.
I be fiymg years brought opulence untokl
LntU in priceless luxury I rolled;
But with each treasure was some trouble wed
Lntil such countless trouble filled mv bed
Tliat Hell was Heaven to the life I led."
The second ghost, whose eyes were filled with
ctrubt
And long denying, slowly murmured out:
"Your allegory fits my life if I
Am I or ever had reality.
Impelled by fate, I chose great Wisdom's self
lu preference to passion or to pelf.
I gTew the mental monarch of an age.
And left my doubts to man as heritage.
Hell is not; nor is Heaven. But instead
Are phantom dreams of baseless hope or dread.
Breamed by the dead who know not -they are :
dead."
The third a smiling specter, o'er whose head
A radiance shone, unto the others said:
"And I chose Love. Through mortal years that
choice
Made every fiber of my heart rejoice;
And through the gates of death" a splendor cast
Tliat makes the future beauteous os the past.
H knew the Lord was love: but now I see
That love is lord throughout eternity.
In earthly life it breaks the primal curse;
In heaven it blazes never to disperse,
Irradiating all the universe.”
—William E. S. Kales in The Journalist.
The Antique Pigtail.
A curious evidence of the antiquity and
permanence of a Chinese fasliion is the
presence of a newly discovered Hittite
seal, found near Tarsus, of figures with
that quasi-Mongolian appendage, the pig
tail, one of these being apparently an
eagle headed deity. The same appendage
is to lie seen on some of the monuments
which the British museum obtained from
the reputed site of Carchemish; and the
urged it upon the attention of my
friends, several of whom have used it
with like good results in eTery case, and
it is with the greatest pleasure and sin
cerity that I commend Kaskine to suf
ferers from malaria everywhere.

Tiled Habits and Old Methods of Work
men In the Old World.
Here we’ve prospered in everything
that wo have undertaken, anil today we
3tand at least 100 years ahead of tho
countries of continental Europe, not only
in our improvement in telegraphy and all
the mechanical arts, hut in everything
that goes to make a nation eminently
great, prosperous and permanent. Whilst
they have held on with a strange and
viselike tenacity to their old habits and
old ways of work, we’ve gone on chang
ing, altering, amending, always improv
ing. With them it seems almost a crime
to step aside from the lieaten track that
their forefathers followed.
Tliero the workmen of today use the
crude implements and machinery of years
ago, things which we have long since
discarded and replaced with improved
tools and machinery capable of doing in
finitely more and better work, and pn>
ducing larger and more profitable re
turns. Again, they rarely, if ever,
clnmgo their patterns, and some of them
call this conservatism. Is it any wonder,
then, that the workman who clings to his
old fashioned patterns, looms and tools
is badly left in the march of progress and
of civilization? Or that the number of
his patrons and the prices of his goods
are constantly lessening?
Don't forget another point—while he
gets less for tho products of his skill, we
get considerably more, and we pay alxiut
tho same amount, possibly very much
less, for tho crude’ article than he does.
Tako it any way you like, view it in any
phase that you please, your conclusion
will undoubtedly be that the country in
which such a state of things exists cannot
keep paco with a nation whose citizens
are more enlightened and more enterpris-
iing.
Of the great nations of Europe, Ger
many is, to my mind, far ahead of all
others, and under the admirable and wise
measures proposed and fostered by Bis
marck it is rapidly leaving France and
England behind. Its industries are great,
multiplying and progressive, l>oth in their
number, character and capacity. So
much have I been struck with these facts
that I have started a large factory there,
.and although only a twelve month old, it
is producing very satisfactory returns.

Tlio “ Dug-Out " of tho West.
The dug-out, in which the hostlers of
these western buckboard lines live, is a
peculiar and primitive dwelling made by
■digging a hole in the ground, laying logs
.across this hole, and heaping on top of
the logs, to a depth of three or four feet,
the earth excavated from beneath. The
door consists of a canvas flap. You lift
this flap, duck your head until you are
not more than fpur feet tall, and enter
the hostler's home. At one end is a log
bedstead with a mattress of straw. A
bole in the center of the dirt floor serves
as stove and fireplace; a stool and rough
board table complete the furnishings.—

.V Maryland Chemist Beckoned Without
His Host.
I live in the midst of the malarial
districts of Maryland, near the city of
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous influences of the impure air
and water of that region.
Being naturally of a strong constitu
tion, I had frequently boasted that no
chills and fever or other malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con
dition in which I found myself six
months ago. I first noticed that I did
not feel so sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. I felt tired and
enervated. Soon I noticed a distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with profuse gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as a bell, would feel
h -»avy and I began to have headaches.
The cold stage was marked with
chattering of the teeth, severe rigors
passed over me, and no amount of
clothing could keep me warm. The
chill was succeeded in turn by the
fever, in which I seemed to be burning
up, the congestion in my head produced
a violent pain in the frontal portion
j ami a heated sensation of the eyelids,
| with an indescribable aching of the
i lower limbs. Nausea and vomiting
occurred with severe retchings, and
when the paroxyms passed off I was
thoroughly prostrated by a weakness
that was felt in every part of me.
During all this time, it must be un
derstood that I did not neglect medical
treatment. All the most powerful
| remedies were tried, such as liquid ar-
! senate of potash, valeriante of iron,
I mercury, bromide of potassium, ehlo-
i ride of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni-
i dia, quinine and several others. All
i this I did under the advice of eminent
physicians.
It was while I was in this deplorable
condition that the claims made for
Kaskine, the new quinine, as a specific
for malaria, were first brought to my
attention. I knew nothing of its value
i to justify my having any confidence in
! it, but as everything else had failed 1.3^00 ACRES OF LAND FOR SALE !
