Faithful Laborers.
There is one class of laborers
who never strike and seldom com
plain. They get up at five o’clock
in the morning and never get back
to bed until ten or eleven o’clock
at night ; they work without ceas
ing the whole of that time, and
receive no other emolument than
food and the plainest kind of cloth
ing, thev understand something of
every branch ot economy and labor,
from finance to cooking; though
harassed by a hundred responsi
bilities, though driven and wor
ried, though reproached and look
ed down upon they never revolt,
and they cannot organize for their
own protection. Not even sick
ness releases them from their pasts.
No sacrifice is deemed too great
for them to make, and no incompe
tency in any branch of their work
is excused. No essays, books or
poems are written in tribute to
their steadfastness. They die in
the harness and are supplanted as
quickly as may be. These are the
housekeeing wives of the laboring
men.
To hear every person saving
omething pleasant about its peo
ple and its interests is the sdrest,
■quickest and easiest way to make
a town attractive to a stranger.
One of the best ways which to
make a town attractive with that
sort of attraction that will draw
other people to it is for every man
and every woman to have a pleas
ant word for the people and the
town generally. Talk up your
town if you would have it do well.
Talk up your town if you would
have others come to you. Talk up
your town if you would feel an in
terest in it, and have its people feel
an interest in you. There is no
better way to do it- And many a
time one little word of unpleasant
reference to something that does
not exactly suit you and not par
ticularly concern you as to that
matter, will turn a good man’s in
fluence away from your town and
may even drive him away. At
your own fireside, talk up your
town. Among your neighbors,
talk up your town. When you
come in contact with strangers,
t ilk up your town. And at your
own fireside, among neighbors,
and coming in contact with strang
ers, talk up the most potent agency
ever set in motion for helping your
town,

The Chinese.
The Chinese invented printing,
they invented gunpowder, they in
vented the mariner’s compass.
The farmers of China were the
first to hatch eggs by means of in
cubators, and the fishermen of Chi
na were the first to hatch fish spawn
artificially. Artesian wells are of
Chinese origin.
The penal code of China is thou
sands of years old, and thousands of
years old is the Chinese civil serv
ice examination that western civ
ilization has at last adopted.
When George Washington’s an
cestors wandered in the wet, cold
weeds of Britain, their naked and
shivering chests painted blue, the
Chinaman, dressed in splendid silks,
lounged in a palace, on a chair of
carved teakwood and marble, read
ing philosophv and drinking from
cups of painted porcelain tea of ex
quisite flavor.
Left Till Called For.
When Wilkinson went to his of
fice one day last week he felt calm
and contented. He hadn’t any need
to worry about his w'ife’s loneliness
any more, for he had bought a capi
tal watchdog for her.
But, alas, when he arrived home
his wife met him with the deplora
ble news that the dog had gone.
“Eh!” said Wilkinson. “Did he
break the chain, then?”
“No,” she replied, ‘Tut a great,
ugly looking tramp came here and
acted so impudently that I let the
dog loose. Bat instead of tearing
the tramp to pieces the nasty dog
went off with him.”
“Great Scott!” said Wilkinson.
“That must have been the tramp I
bought him from!” —London Ex

A Peculiar Couple.
Conversation had' turned to the
subject of two men, utterly dissim
ilar, who nevertheless roomed to
gether. One of these men was gen
erally conceded to be a “freak.” His
name was John.
“John and Jim are certainly a
queer pair,” opined somebody.
“John and anybody are a queer
pair,” opined somebody else.
Poor John! —Exchange.

Colorful Zanzibar.
Zanzibar is the brightest, richest
in color, most energetically com
mercial of all the East African
ports. All is noise, activity, glitter.
Here the Indian merchant be
seeches you from his bazaar. There
children swathed in silk and hung
with costly jewels and bangles
stumble under vour feet. Black
women, draped below their bare
shoulders in the colors of the but
terfly, their necks and bosoms gay
with chains, balance water jars on
their heads. There is no street or
house which does not suggest the
scenic artist and the limelight. We
expect the water girls to appear as
slaves in the next act and that the
sultan’s band down in the palace
square will presently strike up an
operatic tune. —National Magazine.
An Introduction.
Harry was walking with another
boy when he was joined by a friend
a year or so older and inclined to
manners.
“Introduce me, Harry,” the new
comer whispered pompously.
Harry twisted, reddened and at
last turned to his companion with,
“Jim, have you ever 6een Gilbert
Spencer?”
“No,” the other boy answered.
“Well,” Harry blurted out, red
dening still more and jerking one
thumb over his shoulder toward the
newcomer, “that’s him!” —Lippin-
cott’s.
Breechloading Cannon.
The breechloading cannon were
among the earliest used. We find
them on English and other ships as
early as the last quarter of the four
teenth century, and therefore much
before the time of the buccaneers.
The cannon was a mere tube, bound
with heavy iron rings, and was load
ed by the insertion of the “gonne
chamber,” an iron pan containing
the charge, which fitted into and
closed the breech. These guns were
very clumsy affairs in comparison
with the modern breechloader, but
the principle was the same.
