LIGHTS UNDER BUSHELS.
The
In
Great Herd of Copyists—Palth
One’s .Self—Persistence.
If your faith in your power, your con
fidence in yourself, or your idea or plan
are destroyed or weakened by the first
sneer or voice of opposition it meets, you
are hiding yourself and your light under
the bushel. You will remember that a
large proportion of the world are mere
copyists. They do only what others have
done before them and only what they
have learned from others. They oppose
and sneer at every new idea, and after
ward applaud it and use it, when the
man or woman who will not allow their
light to be hid under the bushel force it
into notice and success. In days past
the great herd of copyists sneered and
ridiculed the Idea of steam as motive
power on land and sea. So they did
with the electric telegraph and the tele
phone. So it will be with hundreds of
new ideas, new inventions and new pow
ers to be developed in the near future.
These ultra conservative deadweights
in every business, art or profession, do
not like changes. They are wedded to
their rut. They don’t want to get out
of it. To do so makes them homesick.
Besides, it hurts their business. They
want to jog on in the “good old way”—
in the stage coach instead of the railroad,
in the “sailing packet” instead of the
steamer. They oppose the new as
naturally as rats and earwigs oppose the
entrance of light to their underground
habitations, and for a similar reason.
The light annoys them. It drives them
off. It ruins their business. They “love
darkness better than light. ” Hence,
they want your light “under a bushel.’
If you allow them to keep your light
under that bushel they will keep you
under it also. They will keep you al
ways in the background. If the first
Napoleon had not by force of will ridden
over the objections of the veteran marti
nets who opposed his new methods of
warfare, he would never have triumphed
at Marengo and Austerlitz. If Cyrus W.
Field had not persistently kept his mind
centered on the project of the ocean cable
despite sneer, obstruction and failure
after failure, it might not have been laid
today. The glow of every new light
upon ths world is always the work of
one mn.n or a very few men against the
many. Three or four men in California,
years ago, built the Pacific railroad.
They first kindled their light in a dingy
Sacramento grocery. They kept it
lighted and also kept pushing it to the
front, while others were indifferent, or
dared not take hold of such an undertak
ing.
You had no need to bluster or bully
your light to the front. It is not the
force of physical effort or speech that
will carry it there and keep it there. It
is the silent force of a persistent determi
nation, bent on one single aim. When
you are temporarily overcome and tired
out through the opposition of the dead
weights and earwigs who love darkness,
fall back on yourself and the power be
hind you. Leave the crowd, leave all
not in sympathy with you. Go to your
room, seclude yourself. Sleep, and be
fore you sleep, demand, pray, desire more
power to cope with opposition. It will
surely be given to you. How, we know
not, but you will enter on the contest to
morrow with renewed strength, and the
silent power you gain in this way will, of
itself, work results for you.
In the past thousands of “lights” have,
by this dead weight, ran in a rut, live in
a rat and die in a rat sentiment and
crashing out force, been hidden under
bushels and died out under bushels.
Actors of genuine humor and talent are
today playing in third rate theatres or.
accepting inferior parts in first class ones
because they have allowed sneer or op
position or a more or less failure to drag
then- minds into that permanent dis
couraged, disheartened attitude which is
always saying: “What’s the use of try
ing? Luck’s against me—I’m bound to
fail, anyway 1” On the heels of this
comes drink, to “drown care.”
So it is with thousands of other actors
in all the parts of life. Their own per
manent state of mind is the real and only
force which keeps their “light under the
bushel.” They use their own force
against themselves. They expend it in
talking and complaining to others. They
have no knowledge or faith in the fact
that a mind decided and determined on a
purpose at all times and in all places—a
mind that fights off the mood of despond
ency and discouragement as it would
fight off a mad dog—carries and uses the
greatest of all powers to keep its light
shining and keep it ever in the front.—
Prentice Mulford in New York Star
Exclusiveness of “Society.”
The number of people who have real
merit and talent for society, Who are kept
out by the exclusiveness of self consti
tuted tyrants of society, must be very
large; but if they have tact and learn to
wait, they will find their way. The
most certain way to please is to show a
modest indifference to the smiles of the
•great. (They call it patronage in Eng
land. We have no such ugly word here,
nor have beany really “great people” so
cially.) They should not “push.” There
is, however, always an ideal exclusive
ness, a society which should only admit
the cultivated, the wise, and the good.
Every hostess should inquire into the
general characteristics of . her guests,
their moral, social and political standing.
"We use the word political in its largest
sense. In spite of all we can do, objec
tionable men and women do. get into the
most carefully guarded society; and v e
have as yet no such inviolable insight
that we can rates Dives and Lazarus be
fore their death as they are said to be
rated afterward.—Sirs. M. E. W. Sher
wood.
It is wonderful the number of arti»
cles a Spanigrd needs for even a short
journey. The list is never complete
without a garlic pot, full; cigarettes,
ad infinitum; a guitar, rosary, pan
niers, pomegranates, knives, etc.—all
these a Spaniard deems necessary to
take with him even for a journey from
one village to another. They seem to
■have meat, and were generally well
supplied; more so than one would
think from their lazy appearance in the
fields, sometimes letting the patient
burro drag thp plow without help or
guidance, —W.Jparker Bodfish
QUEER THINGS ABOUT NOSES.
The Nose of Civilization AU Right with
Some Interesting Exceptions.
The following paragraph has been going
the rounds of the press:
‘M. Le Bee, the French savant, says
that ‘the nose is gradually losing its
power to discharge its traditional func
tion in the case of the civilized peoples;
when the sense of smell vanishes alto
gether, as will infallibly be the case one
day, the organ itself will follow its ex
ample sooner or later, as nature never
conserves useless organs, and the nose
must go.' The olfactory sense is keener
in the savage thai in the civilized man.
A New York specialist on the nose, to
whom this was shown, said; c
“Well, Frenchmen seem to delight in
making such extravagant statements.
There are men and women of today who
have the most powerful sense of smell.
The trouble is that it is not always edu
cated like that of the savage. Savages
have good eyes, and good ears, and good
noses, and because they educate then
eyes and their ears and their noses they
can hear, see and smell better-than a man
who does not educate those senses. As
far as the olfactory sense dying out is
concerned, that is not true. I think the
reason this French savant thought so is
because so many people nowadays have
colds and catarrh, due to the civ
ilization that we are struggling
under. Imperfectly heated rooms,
improper ventilation, a. thousand
and one conditions that are not all
sanitary, produce colds and catarrh; and
when a man has catarrh his olfactory
sense, of course, i» interfered with. A
healthy civilized man who has no catarrh
can smell just as well as a savage can
smell, and can see just as well as a
savage. A modem Anglo-Saxon, born
and brought up in civilization, if taken
out into the woods and subjected to the
same education in woodcraft that a
savage has, will leave the savage far be
hind ih his sense of smell and the other
senses. You know it used to be said
that an Indian could run all day and
ran all night, and endure much more
than a white man; but in these six-day-
go-as-you-please races an Indian has no
show whatever.
“All the senses are very intimately
connected with each other. That there
is a close relation between the eye and
the nose is shown when a person has
what is popularly called a cold in the
head. The eyes will water and feel
weak. Snuff pepper or irritants of any
kind up the nose and it makes the eyes
water. Very often there are polipii, or
little growths in the nose that irritate
unconsciously oftentimes. A great many
specialists have found that farsighted
ness is affected by the nose, and that the
removal of obstructions in the nose will
improve the eyes, so that patients will
not have to wear glasses. And near
sighted patients, it is claimed, have also
been cured of their nearsightedness by
treating the nose. Where a person’s
eyesight is affected by growths in the
nose, temporary relief has been obtained
by treating the parts with cocoaine.
What is thus temporarily accomplished
by the use of cocoaine, it is declared, can
be permanently accomplished by remov
ing the obstructions.
“Persons having such obstructions also
have nose colds which come from a cu
rious irritable susceptibility of the nose,
caused bv the pollen of different plants.
Among the various* ill effects which are
produced by growths in the nose are
noises in the ear, deafness, chronic ca
tarrh of the throat, failure of the voice,
asthma, heart troubles, stomach troubles,
even troubles with the skin. To illus
trate: Many opera singers, when then-
voices fail, will consult a nose specialist,
who will restore their voices frequently
by some simple nasal treatment. Not only
asthma has been cured by such treatment,
but many other chest troubles, chronic
bronchitis notably. So skin diseases of the
most obstinate forms, acme especially,
where red pimples come out all over the
face, have been cured by nasal treatment.
It seems hard to believe, but one man
who had been troubled for years by what
was supposed to be rheumatism in his
knee was entirely cured by the removal
of certain growths in the nose.”—New
York Sun.
An English Hydrocarbon Engine.
A pleasing launch—known as of the
“Zephyr type”—is now built in England,
the motive power of which is obtained
from a highly volatile hydrocarbon, one
of the early products in the distillation of
petroleum, selling in this country for
about ten cents a gallon. Within five
minutes after lightning up the launch is
ready to start at full speed, and, the
action being automatic, the boat can run
at a speed of from seven to eight miles an
hour for several hours without any at
tention whatever being required, except
ing only occasionally lubricating the bear
ings. The entire central portion of the
boat is available for passenger accommo
dation, giving double accommodation as
compared with steam. There is a very
large saving in weight of machinery
owing to the very small size of the vapor
generator, and this reduction in weight
renders lighter scantling of hull admissi
ble, so that the launch weighs only a
ton, machinery included. The full sup
ply requires no attention whatever, be
ing perfectly self acting, all hand firing
being abolished, and owing to absence
of coal the whole arrangement is ex
tremely cleanly. Full speed is main
tained with a consumption of one and a
quarter gallons of the hydrocarbon per
hour.—New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The Brazilian Empire’s Progress.
The illness of the Brazilian emperor re
calls what he has done, and encouraged
to be done, for his empire. Twenty years
ago Brazil had nine insignificant cotton
manufactories, all together having 3S5
spindles. There are now in that country
forty-six such manufactories, five of
which alone have 40,000 spindles. They
make yearly 33,000,000 of yards of cot
ton <nx)ds. " This is but one item, which
is paralleled in every direction. The
country has also progressed in agricul
tural production quite as remarkably as
in manufactures. The Argentine Repub
lic in South America alone has kept pace
with Brazil. Thirty years ago Dom
Pedro was in a straggle with all sorts of
conservatism and bigotry, which resisted
progress. He persisted in importing ma
chinery and tools and ideas, and has
lived long enough to know that he has
triumphed. The crowning result is the
recent abolition of slavery.—Globe-Demo
crat. _
Haunts of the White Goats.
White goats have been known to hunt
ers ever since Lewis and Clarke crossed
the continent, but they have always
ranked as the very rarest and most diffi
cult to get of all American game. This
reputation they owe to the nature of their
haunts, rather than to their own wariness,
for they have been so Little disturbed that
they are less shy than either deer or
sheep. They are found here and there
on the highest, most inaccessible moun
tain peaks down even to Arizona and
New Mexico; but being fitted ' for cold
climates, they are extremely scarce every
where south of Montana and northern
Idaho, and the great majority even of 1
the most experienced hunters have hardly
so much as heard of their existence. In
Washington territory, northern Idaho
and northwestern Montana they are not
uncommon, and are plentiful in parts of
the mountain ranges of British America
and Alaska. Their preference for the
highest peaks is due mainly to their dis
like of warmth, and in the north—even
south of the Canadian line—they are
found much lower down the mountains
than is the case farther south.
They are very conspicuous animals,
with their snow white coats and polished
black lioras, but their pursuit necessitates
so much toil and hardship that not one in
ten of the professional hunters has ever
killed one; and I know of but one or two
eastern sportsmen who can boast a goat’s
head as a trophy. But this will soon
cease to be the case, for the Canadian
Pacific railway has" opened the haunts of
where the goats are most plentiful, and
any moderately adventurous and hardy
rifleman can be sure of getting one by
taking a little time, and that, too.
whether he is a skilled hunter or not,
since at present the game is not difficult
to approach. The white goat will be
common long after the elk has vanished,
and it has already outlasted the buffalo.
—Theodore Roosevelt in The Century.
A Beetle in Harness.
Not long since many newspaper para
graphs were current about a pretty beetle
which the southern ladies were in the
habit of wearing on the corsage, where
it crawled at will, held by a tiny gold
chain. This beetle is the maqueche. It
is perfectly inoffensive, has no odor and
does not deface or stain the most delicate
fiber. The adjusting of the golden har
ness is a nice operation, the metal being
soldered on it. The harness consists of
a girdle about the insect’s waist—between
the thorax and the abdomen—to which
above and below is joined a slender band
passing over the posterior portion of the
body, longitudinally, while a small chain
is attached to this harness by a little
staple, which chain terminates in a hook
or pin to fasten in the bodice.
By many Mexicans the insect is re
garded as an amulet or mascot, and is
usually highly prized by foreigners when
obtainable. Parties who have owned in
sects of this kind have often attempted to
maintain them on sugar and water, but
the beetles always perished in a short
time. But if fed on decayed wood, which
is their natural food, they may be kept
alive and thriving for more than a year.
The wing covers or shell of the beetle
is exceedingly hard. Its color is a light
chocolate shade, and when full grown it
is about an inch and a half long. It has
been stated that this beetle can cut
through soft metal, and this fact is one
of the most interesting about it. When
placed in a glass jar covered by a thin
pewter lid it has been known after a few
hours of chipping and cutting to make a
hole sufficiently large to allow it to pass
through. Specimens of this insect and
the cut metal were shown at a recent
meeting of the Microscopical society.—
New York Evening Sun.
Indians and Spanish Friars
The aborigines never showed any zeal
ous faith in Christianity. Unlike the
negroes in the southern states, they took
no delight in singing hymns among them
selves; unlike the Polynesian Christians,
they never went out to convert the neigh
boring heathen. When they escaped
from the missions, as they frequently did,
they always left their new religion behind
them. In the course of three-quarters of
a century thousands of such fugitives fled
to the San Joaquin and Sacramento val
leys, and to the Sierra Nevada, and
mingled with the wild tribes, without
leaving the least trace there of permanent
Christian influence.
The friars did not teach the abort
rines to be great mechanics. Amftng its
Spanish settlers, the territory did not
possess one blacksmith, carpenter, wheel
wright, shipwright, or turner competent
to take a respectable position among bis
fellow craftsmen at the time in London,
Paris or New York. No good plow,
good wagon, good boat or good rifle was
ever made in a mission workshop. The
Trillions: did not have an opportunity to
learn thoroughly any mechanical trade,
or any of the finer branches of horti
culture. There was no skillful nursery
man among them.—John S. Hittel m
Overland Monthly.
Instructions as Interpreted.
He Iras a night reporter on a daily
paper and it came in his way to inter
view two worthy ladies connected
with one of our benevolent institutions
on a subject of some importance. The
city editor told him to use tact and
make himself agreeable. As the mat
ter was not wanted for the next edi
tion he could take his tune and not
hurry the ladies in their recital.
These were his instructions: at 8 p.
m. he appeared at the institution, the
inmates of which had just been called
to prayers. The rest of the story is
best told in the words of the elder lady
herself.
“He seemed a very nice, agreeable
young man, and we thought he had
known some of our patients, or had
some idea of adopting an infant from
the children’s ward. My assistant,
Miss , she is a young lady, was a
little nervous, as we have so few calls
from gentlemen. But we asked him
out to see our house service, aud he
snug and read a chapter, and was very
nice. Then we went back to the par
lor and Miss wanted to excuse
herself, but I would not let her leave,
and the young man I thought would
soon go.
“I wish you could have heard him
talk! He told us all about himself
and what a checkered career he had
gone through, and Miss became
quite sympathetic, but we were
both dreadfully worried. We did not
know what he wanted, and he gave us
no chance to ask. I was so sleepy for
a while that the smile froze on my
face, and I saw double. Then he made
me tell the history of the institution,
and that is my weak point. Every
time my assistant, Miss , would
attempt to go I would frown at her.
We both knew that everything in the
house w r as going wrong. I could see
the clock, but the young man sat with
his back to it. At last it struck 21
Then he asked what time it was. I
told him it was 2 o’clock in the morn
ing, and then he let the cat orut of the
bag at last. He told me whe he was.
“‘We fellows just consider this the
shank of the evening,’ he said. ‘You
see, I’m an all night man, but I am
afraid I have been keeping you ladies
up.’
“We both said: ‘Oh, no, no, no’
for we were almost stupefied, and much
too sleepy to tell the truth. But we
both wondered what his business was
with us, and, do you believe it, he
told us in less than five minutes I He’
simply wanted to know if a statement
in the evening paper of the night be
fore was true!”—Detroit Free Press.

of the families who were raised to high
positions and profusely gilded by the
First Napoleon are extinct, and that
those which still exist are represented
chiefly by women. The first empire
and its wars- did not play havoc with
the dukes and the princes who sprang
up around its head. The harm was
done by the second empire, whose
ideal was faire bombance. The higher
class Bonapartists ate, drank and were
nearly all guzzlers, and managed to
soak any amount of fine wines at their
lunches and dinners. The fashion in
their time came in of having as many
wineglasses at each plate as there are
flues in a great stack of chimneys.
When the appetite palled, the sorbet
russe was brought in to act on the un
fortunate stomach as a tonic, and en
able it to go through as much more as
it had gone through already. One of
the reasons why Marshal Bazaine
could not get quickly out of Metz, to
bar the way against the Prussians,
was that the emperor started before
him, and so the road was blocked with
service de la bouche and the wagons
carrying the belongings of his im
perial majesty, which were truly im
pediments. When the Israelites were
under a theocracy, and the chief
priest’s sons ate as do- city of London
aldermen, the Philistines routed them.
Likewise Marshal de Soubjse was im
mortalized by his sauce for mutton
chops and disgraced by his defeat.—

Where Eels Are Caught.
Very early in the spring men go out
with spears in the swampy meadows that
border the little creeks and tread about
with bare feet until they come upon a
place where the mud is soft. In such a
spot there is likely to be a spring of fresh
water, and the spears thrust down through
the ooze bring up at every stroke between
their prongs writhing eels. It is nothing
unusual to get three or four bucketfuls
out of one hole. Most of the eels mar
keted, however—and vast quantities oi
them are brought here—are taken by the
familiar process known as “bobbing.
In other] words, they are fished for at
night with bunches of worms done up in
loops at the end of a string. Many are
caught in traps known as “eel pots,
from which the poor victim i3 unable tc
make his escape, having once strayed m
after the food set as a bait. Eel skins
are worth §2 a hundred for flails. They
are 'also used as bluefish bait, and by
rheumatic patients to tie around the limb
affected.—Boston Cor. New Orleans Pica

How to Drill Glass.
In drilling glass, stick a piece of stiff
clay or putty on the part where you wish
to make the hole. Make a hole in the
putty t-lie size you want the hole, reach
ing "to the glass, of course. Into this
hole pom a hale molten iead, when, un
less it is very thick glass, the piece wiu
immediately drop out.—Tradesman.
The German Hotel Porter.
In German hotels you come in con
tact only with the porter and head
waiter. The porter is usually selected
for his intelligence, for his ability as a
linguist andior his size—height rather.
You make all inquiries of him con
cerning. the hotel, about the arrival
and departure of trains., the sights of
the town, etc., and you invariably get
civil and intelligent replies to all your
questions. The so called porter (por-
tier), however, in no sense corresponds
to the American idea of a porter, nor
is he called upon to do the slightest
physical labor. He receives guests,
sees them depart and makes himself
very useful in many ways; but as for
lifting a trunk or carrying a satchel,
this is entirely beneath • his position
and his dignity. The actual porter
perforins tliis labor, and both* of these
officials expect and receive a fee on
the guest’s departure. In paying your
bill at a German hotel you see neither
proprietor, manager nor porter; neither
will receive it; you are obliged to pay
the waiter, who thus makes sure of
his fee.—Home Journal.

Some Prussian railways are experi

place of brass. The parchment is
strongly compressed before being used,
and it is thoroughly dried to prevent
subsequent shrinkage. An emulsion
