THANKFULNESS.
Thank God for life! Life is not sweet always;
Hands may be heavy laden, heart care full,
Unwelcom'e nights follow unwelcome days;
And dreams divine end' in awakening dull.
Still it is life, and life is cause for p1 also,
This ache, this 1 estlessness, this quiekening sting,
Prove me no torpld and inanimate thing,
Prove me of Him who is of life the spring;
I am alive—and that is beautiful.
Thank God for love; though love may hurt and
wou u;nd
Though set with sharpest thorns its rose may
be
Roses arb not of winter, all attuned
Must be the earth, filled with soft air and free,
And warm ere dawns the rose upon its tree.
Fresh currents through my frozen pulses run,
My heart has tasted summer, tasted sun;
And I thank thee, Lord, although not one
Of the many roses bloom for me.
Thank God for Death: Bright thing with dreamy
name;
We wrong with mournful flowers her pure still
brow,
We heap her with reproaches and with blame;
Her sweetness and her fitness disallow,
Questioning bitterly on the why and how;
But calmly ‘mid our clamor and surmise
She touches each in turn, and each grows wise.
Taught by the light in her mysterious eyes,
I shall be glad, and I am thankful now.
——Susan Coolidge.
A11 Author’s Eccentricities.
To those who know Robert Louis Steven-
son at all it is no surprise that he has de-
cided to live in far distant Samoa, and has
bought himself several hundred acres of
land. In fact, I question whether Steven-
son could do anything to surprise his
friends. The odd and unexpected have be-
come synonyms with his name. I doubt
whether there is a more eccentric author
today than Stevenson. He never seems to
know his own mind from one day into-
anothcr, and were he to-morrow to turn up
in New York his friends would merely arch
their eyebrows.
Said one of his closest friends to me:
“Stevenson is just crammed full of oddi-
ties, and the most unreliable man who
wields a pen. Let him promise to write
you an essay, a story or a. poem, and it pos-
itively amounts to nothing. The next day
he has forgotten it, and before you know it
he is in some heathenish part of the coun—
try 01' Off in the middle of some unreach-
able body of water which defies the mail or
the telegraph. He hates to write letters,
scarcely ever answers a single one he gets,
while all the time you are just wild for
‘copy’ promised months ago. Eccentric?
Decidedly so; he is more, he is aggravating
almost beyond endurance, and if he were
not such a paying ‘card’ not an editor or
publisher would put up with his oddities.”
—Philadelphia Times.
Playing Heaven.
There are three bright little mortals in
Maine—(5, 4 and ‘21 years old respectively—
who are very fond of “playing heaven” to—
gether, and all in such a sweet, reverent
little fashion that even the stcrnest moral-
ist could not find it in his heart to say them
nay.
One day their mother sent them into the
dining 1'00111 to play, while she worked in
an adjoining room. Happening to pass the
door she stopped a moment to look at her
little folks, and this is what she saw: The
elder boy was sitting upon the table, as
“God up in heaven,” his little face pucker-
ed into grave lines. Close by, arranged
one below the other, were a high chair, a
common chair, and last, a stool—all evi-
dently representing the “ladder” to
heaven. The little 4~year-old was an
angel, and the “wee bit” sister V "as lying
on the floor, “being dear. .” Presently the
little angel took her in his arms and set out
upon his heavenward journey. It was a
toilsome way. Up he mounted—first the
footstool, then the chair; but arriving at
the high chair his strength suddenly gave
out, and a tired little angel’s voice mount—
ed to heaven, in sweet, coaxing tones: “Oo
tome and dot her, Dod. I tan’t det her
way to heaven.”——New York Tribune.
A ‘u'ay to Silence Any “’oman.
J. Savage hasn’t changed one iota in the
last ten years, and is just the same jovial,
joke loving man he always was. I recall a.
little incident that occurred some years
ago that shows Mr. Savagc’s inordinate
love of fun. It was at one of the Church
of the Trinity’s fortnightly entertainments.
Mr. Savage was sitting on a lounge,
watching the young people dance, when an
elderly female, who evidently had a yearn—
ing fondness for clergyman and a highly
developed sense of propriety, sidled up and
said: “Oh, Mr. Savage, do you approve of
round dancing?” “Yes,” said Mr. Savage,
“I do, though I must confess I prefer to do
my 1 'altzing sitting quietly with a pretty
girl in an out of the way corner,” and he
cast a la 1guishing glance at the clergy
loving Old lady that sent her hurrying away
with an exclamation of horror. He then
turned to me and said: “You see, my dear
fellow, there’s a way of silencing any wo-
man—if one can only learn it.”—New York
Star.
Thoppcd Apples for Export.
Chopped apples is an exported product of
which but little has been heard. They are
made from inferior, unmarketable fruit,
which is chopped into small pieces and is
then dried. They are shipped largely to
France, where they are used for conversion
into cider, and are preferred to their home
grown apples, on account of being better
preserved and of finer flavor. The export
trade of this product in 1888 reached 11,000,-
000 pounds, and this amount could have
been doubled in 1889 if there had been suf-
ficient of the product to sell. Most all of
the chopped apples come from the orchards
of the northeast—New York Telegram.
Her Prehistoric DIen'lory.
She was a young thing—01' rather she
wished people to think she was—~11nd this,
as she listened to an air that had great
though ten 1po1ar y popular ity many years
before, was what she said:
“Ah, that strain! how well I recall it,
associated as it is with some of the pleas-
antest days of my childhood!”
He was a horrid brute of a man, and as
be located the same air in the dim abysm
of the past, this was what he said:
“Indeed! indeed?” Here he paused, then
drawled: “\Vhat a phenomenal memory
you must haveI”—New York Herald.
Not Justified by the Results.
“Did you notice that a French statisti-
clan has been studying the military records
and finds that by the year 4000 the average

“Yes, I noticed it, and I think it is going
a long way to find so little.”—New York

CIVILIZING THF1 YUMAS.
NOBLE WORK OF CATHOLIC MIS-
SIONARIES AMONG THE INDIANS.
A Quiet and Indolent Tribe That Has
Been Almost Overlooked—Being Lifted
Up Through the Efforts of a Band of
Good Women—The Boarding School.
There is little in this small city of 800 in-
habitants to attract attention except the
extreme heat, which varies wtth the sea-
sons, but is always oppressive. Fort Yuma
is conspicuous for its industrial boarding
school, maintained by the Indian depart-
ment. The Indians here belong principally
to the Yuma tribe, though there are a few
remnants of other tribes to be found. The
total number on the reservation is 1,126 by
actual count. Their reservation consists
of 45,000 acres of arid land, almost wholly
worthless Without irrigation. The only
crops they raise are grown upon the over-
flow lands next to the Colorado river, where
a. very little very primitive farming is at
tempted.
The river usually overflows in June. The
mesquite bean and river fish are the steady
diet of the Indians, varied only as they are
successful or unsuccessful in growing a
few vegetables and cereals. They are with-
out implements and without the knowl-
edge or means to irrigate their reservation.
ABODES OF THE YUM AS.
The abode of a well to do Indian br ave is
a parallelogram, about ten by twelve feet,
inelosed by four poles, with willow brush
tied or nailed to the sides and across the
top. Arrowwood thatching closes up the
interstices and a dirt roof shelters the in-
mates from the occasional winter showers
and the beating southern sun. In the
summer domicile the thatehing on the sides
is omitted. A blanket, a yard or two of
cotton cloth or a cowskin answers for a
door. Seve1al inches of sand is piled into
the apartment, which answers f01 beds,
tables and chaiis for the household, and
when this becomes intolcrably filthy, and
not before, the women carry it out in their
skirts and replace it with fresh sand. A
few of the tribe have mud or adobe huts, a.
trifle less primitive, but no less dirty.
The government, the philanthropist and
all concerned have neglected these Indians.
Being neither quarrelsome 1101' pcevish,
they have given their white neighbors no
trouble and therefore have attracted to
themselves no attention. Although :1 mil—
itary post was established at this point in
1865, and the Southern Pacific road was
complated to Yuma fully ten years ago,
little was attempted 0; 1 behalf of these peo-
ple until the gov Cl 11111011t ab 1111101101 the
militzuy post and turned ovci the building
and giounds to the interim de; _;1 11 Uncut.
Dcsult01y and ineli'c: tivc efforts were made
to establish some form of instruction and a
very little mission: 3' cfl’01t w us put forth
by the Catholics. The Protestants hav (3
nev e1. utters. gted to do anything 111210. The
debilitating climate, its extreme, continu—
ous and overpowering heat and the want
of 1esources to build 11p a settlement hav e
kept Yuma for thirty -fiv c yeais a mole
outpo: t of civ ilization, with more Mexican
than American citizens and no material in—
terests except a railroad eating house, a
steamboat landing from which a Colorado
river steamerembarks once in three months
for the north and the territorial peniten-
tiary. The Indian agent lives at Colton,
0010., and his visits are as infrequent as
those of the river steamer. There has
therefore been very little sympathy and a
great deal less money expended for the
benefit of these Indians.
IN THEIR SAVAGE STATE.
Four years ago Miss Mary O’Neill and a
band of devoted Catholic sisters from St.
Louis accepted the proposition of the In-
dian office to undertake the conduct of a
boarding school at Fort Yuma in the
buildings abandoned by the military,
which were fitted up for school purposes.
When they reached the reservation they
found their wards and patrons the most
primitive Indians in the United States.
The full summer dress of the stalwart
Yuma brave consisted of long black hair,
concealing all of his head except his eyes,
nose and mouth, and a breech clout. That
of his wife and grown up sister was a skirt
woven with bark, extending from the waist
toward the knees. Their hair was tied
back, showing their faces. The little Yu-
mas up to 12 years of age W cm stark naked.
I11 the w inter afew gaiments were worn.
No hats, no shawls, no shoes, no trousers,
no coats, no dress skirts were known. The
abhorrence of the males for work of any
kind was evidenced by the stipulation of
the chiefs that if their boy 5 entered school
they weie not to be taught any useful em-
ployment.
Thel ladies found the Yuma Indians vile,
filthy, pagan, superstitious and very low
in the scale of intellect. Their work had
to begin at the worst sort of beginning,
and Miss O’) Icill tells me that she was v cry
much discouraged at the outlook. The peo—
ple of Yuma, accustomed to the degrada-
tion and depravity of the Indians, gave the
good women very little encouragement.
vere kind and courteous, but skep—
tical.
INSTRUCTING THE YOUNG.
The Indians fir st poi 111ittcd a few boys to
go to school, more bee 1.11se they v ore to be
fed without cost than for any thing else.
They broke out all the window panes, stole
the bedding and table linen, carried off
kitchen utensils and destroyed anything
that it occurred to them to put out of the
way. They 1cs cnted the t1ousc1s, shirt,
shoes and fine tooth comb, and rex olted
outright at soap and w rter. The sister
superintendent was compelled to promise
not to cut their hail unless the boys con-
sented,:1.11d 11g '1 coal also not to inflict c01-
poial punishn. out. The Indians never pun-
ish their children. One day a boy caught
in the act of hurling a pebble through a
window pane w 'is gently chided bya sis-
te1-.He escaped that night, and before
morning twenty windows were converted
into ventilators. The boys were incorri—
gible, the giils shy and the parents sus-
picious. The condition could hardly have
been less favo1able, except that there was
no dange1 to life or person.
Patiently the devoted nuns went about
their wo1k. They reached the parents by
visits to their hovels, by presents of gaudy
tiinkets and of sweetmeats. The school
physician banished their feve. and saved
some of the little ones aftei the medicine
man had given them up. They finally
overcame the shyness of the little girls,
won the respect of the boys and the affec—
tion of the fathers and mothers. Today
they have eighty-four boys and forty-eight
girls 1n the school. Many of the boys have
short bath, and all are neatly dressed,
cleanly and interested, though their p1og-
ress is slow. The boys no longer steal or
destroy the school property, and this year,
, for the first time, girls verging on woman-
hood have been held in school or reclaimed
from the streets of the adjacent village.
After four years of hard work, of almost
infinite patience, and of continual discour—
agements the sisters see light breaking. —

A Red Necktie.
Walking in Regent street I saw in the
window of a haberdashery an array of red
neckties that would have set the heart of
the Rev. 14‘. W. Gunsaulus to dancing with
joy. I recollected that Mr. Gunsaulus once
said to me: “I should like to wear a red
necktie all the time; there is in a red neck-
tie a certain harmless depravity which de—
lights me beyond telling. I have one red
necktie, I keep it at home. Whenever I
am at the point of peril—when I feel that I
have done a particularly excellent deed or
when I have a sort of pharasaica-l sense that
I am better than my fellow men—I retire
to my private chamber, lock the door, don
that red necktie and look at myself in the
mirror. Then I am overpowered by a sense
of my human weakness. ‘N o, Gunsaulus,’
I say to my presentment in the mirror, ‘you
are a vain and frivolous creature—you are
an earthworm and the good is not in you!’
Now, if I were not a clergyman, I should
wear a red necktie all. the time as a badge
or token of my sinful, erring, unregenerate
nature. As it is, I can indulge my natural
appetite in secret only.”
When I saw this array of red neckties in
Regent street I plunged into the shop and
inspected them. For the modest sum of
two and six I purchased a particularly true-
ulent one—a tie that seemed fairly to be in-
stinct with and to breathe the mischievous
folly of the old Adam. I sent it on its way
across the sea. It is pleasant, you know,
to let the folk at home know that you re-
member them.—Eugene Field’s London
Letter in Chicago News.
A Boiling Lake.
There is a lake of boiling water in the
island of Dominica, lying in the mountains
behind Roseau, and in the valleys sur-
rounding it are many solfataras, or vol-
canic sulphur vents. In fact the boiling
lake is little better than a crater filled with
scalding water, constantly fed by mountain
streams, and through which the pent 11p
gases find vent and are ejected. The tem-
perature of the water 011 the margins of
the lake ranges from 180 to 190 degs. Fahr-
enheit; in the middle, exactly over the gas
vent-s, it is believed to be about 300 degs.
‘Where this active action takes place the
water is said to rise two, three 01' even four
feet above the general surface level of the
lake, the cone often dividing so that the
orifices through which the gas escapes are
legion in number.
This violent disturbance over the gas
jets causes a violent action over the whole
surface of the lake, and though the cones
appear to be special vents, the sulphurous
vapors rise with equal density over its en-
tire sui face. Contrary to what one would
natu1 ally suppose, there seems to be in no
case violent action of the escaping gases,
such as explosions 01' detonations. The
water is of a dark gray color, and, having
been boiled over and CV or for thousands of
v cais, has becm ac thick and slim1 with
sulphui. As the inlets to the lake 0 are
rapidly closing, it is believed that it will
soon assume the character of a geyser or
sulphurous crater.—St. Louis llcpublic.

I was talking with the landlord of a
small but tidy hotel, in a town in Illinois,
when a trnmpish looking fellow about 30
years of :1 go entered the (slice and walked
directly up to us and asked:
“V'hich of you is the lundloul?"

“Lend you $5? ’
“That’s what I said.”
“Not much.”
“Then I will blow my brains out right
here and now!” said the fellow, as he pulled
a pistol from his hip pocket. “If you don’t
think the muss, the inquest, and what the
papers will say will hurt your house more

I entered my hotel to a find a man dead 011

Coloring Artificial Eyes.
The art involved in coloring the crystal
ball intended for the schlerotica, or white
of the eye, in producing an artificial mem-
ber has been reduced to a matter of great
simplicity, at the some time attaining the
desired perfection. I11 the best results the
artist applies to the glass ball enamels of
different colors, which, amalgamating with
that of the crystal in a pasty state, grad-
ually giv c it the tint of nature’s optic.
This opeiation begins wit 1 the his, which
is formed by the use of scv eral amal—
gamated enamels, and, the iris finished,
there is placed in its center a spot of black
enamel; this is the puptl, which is to be en-
circled by the artist with its areola, the
process being completed by drawing those
almost infinitely small as well as exquisite
fibers which are found in the iris. The
globe of the eye being in this manner
brought to its completed state of beauty
and adaptation, all that remains is to place
it in the center of the crystal ball.—Chicago
Times.
Music That Had No Charms.
People who do not enjoy hearing a neigh-
bor-”s daughter practicing 011 the piano can
sy mpathize with a Biddeford man who now
has three empty tenements on his hands.
He owns and liv es in a house usually occu-
pied by thi ee families besides himself. One
of these families had musical proclivities
and sang a good deal evenings. The owner:
of the house after ineffectually trying to
bring the concerts to an end at 9 olclock,
served legal warning upon the family to
vacate his tenement. A woman in one of
the other tenements laughed at him for
doing so, and her family had to pack up
and leave. The third tenant, probably con-
scious that she too had laughed, went with—
out being told to, and quiet now’rests upon
that mansion—New York Telegram.
They are telling of a gentlemanly trustee
of Vassar college who went there to visit
the institution and was prevailed upon to
remain over night in one of the guests’
rooms. When he went to bed he left his
shoes outside his door as if he were in a
hotel: Some of the girls, who were 11p at
an early hour, saw the boots and thought
it would be'a good idea to do the b'ootblack
act themselves. They did. and when they
returned the shoes they stuck in each a
handsome bouquet of flowers. The sensa-
tions of the trustee on discovering his shoes
can be better imagined than described. .

An Elegant Home That Cannot Fail to
Please.
This design is that of a. residence built in
the suburbs of New York,.for a family of
means. The building stands on an eminence,
with the ground sloping from the house in all
directions, which, with the broken gables,
broad veranda and porch, judicious ar-
rangement of the windows, etc. ., give a very
attractive and picturesque appearance to the
building—quite in contrast to the old fash-
ioned mansard and hip roofs so common in the
rural districts. The plan is a convenient
one, and comprises a hall, dining room and
large library, separated from the front parlor
by sliding doors, which can be kept open. and
closed at pleasure. At the rear of the house
are the kitchen, back stairs, pantry, store-
room, and back porch, with steps leading to
the back yard. In front is a broad veranda
with steps.
FRONT ELEVATION.
In the second story them are three good
sized chambers, bathi oom, small bedrobm,
staircase halls, attic stairway and a goodly
number of closets, which are considered most
essential by the accomplished housewife.
The attic contains two bedrooms and a.
large storeroom and two closets. The cellar
extends under the entire house.
The rooms in the attic are hard finished on
one coat of brown mortar and well seasoned
lath. The side walls and ceilings of all other
rooms and closets are hard finished on two
coats of brown mortar; neat center pieces
are placed in the hall, parlor, dining room
and library. The chimneys are of hard
brick, laid in lime mortar to the roof, fnom
