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. tjarper Sc Stokers’ JperWMcate. 1889.

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.— Cor. London Truth. 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 yune. 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.
