LOVE/ oNF. ANOTHER.

Eggsheistaus in a. lighted hall,
123...an rides and sore perplexed.
To learnffoiflsdnday the forgotten text;
Only threewords on a gilded card,

But both childr'endeclared it hard.

“ ‘Love,’ that is easy—it means, why, this"—
(A Warm embracejanda toying kiss);

“But ‘one‘'zui’other,‘l I don‘ts'ee who

Is meant by"another‘—now, May, do you?“

Very grandly she raises her‘head.
0hrthoughtful derling, and slowly said,
Ask'shc‘fondly‘ sunled'on the little‘brother,
“Why, I am only one, and you arc another,
And this is the meaning-don"t you sec'f-——
That I must love you, and you must love me."

Wise little preacher, could any sage
Interpret better the sacred page?
———Good Cheer.

 

Three Little Vic-rds.

WVith the three litth. words, “why,”
“how,” “what,” it is quite possible for
some blockhead to puzzle a philosopher.
“Why does the magnetic needle point al—
ways to the north?” “How was the uni-
verse made?” “What is light?" Here are
three questi 3118 that any fool may ask, yet
that all the wisdom in the world cannot
answer. T here are hundreds of other
queries as simple and as likely to suggest
themselves to the inquisitive to which sci-
ence can 1:: ake no satisfactory reply. On
the other hand, positive philosophy. his-
tory, the mechanic arts and other practical
branches of human knowledge afford con-
clusive responws to a vast number of im-
portant “whys” and “hows” and “wha .”

All that it is necessary for man to know
he can learn from these sources, and educa-
tion in its best sense consists in the broad-
cast diffusion of the information they
afford, in its simplest, clearest form.
Europeans say that we are an over curious
people—that we examine and cross—examine
strangers about matters with which we
have no concern. That’s a mistake. Every-
thing in the way of information that any
human being is willing to impartconcerns
us. “’e want to know. If those we ques-
tion do not choose to answer, or cannot
answer, our “whys” and “hows” and
“whats,” they can say so. \Ye shall notbe
offended by the rebuff; but ask, we will.—

Carelessness Criticised.

He came outlof the house, boarded the
car and looked about with the good hu-
mored air of a man who has just finished
a. satisfactory breakfast. His eyes rested
on the feet of a man opposite, and be con-
tinued to look at them with a half amused
expression as he chewed his toothpick.
Finally the other passenger left the car,
and he of the toothpick turned to his
neighbor:

“Did you notice the great blotch of dried.
mud on that gentleman’s shoe?” he asked.
“It’s funny,” he continued, “how a well
dressed man will be so careless sometimes.
Had a fresh shine, walked out of the
house, didn’t look to see where he was go-
ing, and stepped right square into a mud
puddle the first thing. Idunno, Ithink
that kind of gives a man away, don’t

3; you?”

“Excuse me,” said the other, “but you’ve
got something onthe under side of your
coat sleeve. I don’t know what it is.”

The toothpick chewer raised his arm to
get a view of the spot indicated, then care-
fully wiped off the sleeve with his hand-
kerchief, remarking as he did so, “It’s
stewed codfish and cream, that‘s what it
is. ”—Detroit Free Press.

A Witty Cabman.

Among the cabmen at the city hall plaza
‘ls one who has a reputation for wit among
his fellow cabbies. His name, I think, is
Cornell. He had as a customer the other
night a certain literary gentleman who is
distinguished by the. elegance of his rai-
ment as well as the costliness of the um-
brellas he carries. Of this literary swell

._ one of his intimates says “he spends three-
fourths of his time in selecting clothes
and the other fourth in buying umbrellas.”
One wet night he sported a particularly
loud umbrella, and probably fearing that
the heavy shower might injure it he hired
a. cab to take him home. Arriving there
the cabmau demanded $1 from him.

x, “I‘Vhat do you mean by overcharging
me,” said the literary swell as he hoisted
the umbrella. “Do you know who I am?”

“I don’t care if you were the umbrella,
I‘ll have my fare,” said the coachman, and
he got it.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Pineapple Fabric.

Still another textile material bids fair to
rival jute. This time it is the pineapple

a fiber, and a Mr. R. Blochynden, of Cal-
cutta, is attempting to awaken interest to
the great economic value of this product.
The pineapple has long been cultivated for
its fiber in India, while it is manufactured
into a cloth in the Philippines and woven
into linen in China. But more recent in-
vestigations show that when subjected to
the process of bleaching the fiber becomes

" pliant. enough to be spun like flax and by
the same machinery. The fiber can be {sub-
divided into threads of such delicacygga
be barely perceptible and yet sufiiéié'fit y
strong for any purpose—New York‘Te e-
gram.

Obedient, but Why?

There was a new dog at the farm house,
-. writes a correspondent of Wide Awake,
and Baby, aged 4, had been told that 'he
must not play with it. On, his way to the
farm he was reminded of his mamma’s in-
junction not to play with the strange dog,
and he exclaimed in a tone which showed

him proudly conscious of his virtue:

“Of course I wouldn’t for the world do
what mamma tells me not to!” Then, (18‘
mending suddenly from this unusual

eight of morality, he added confidentially,

“And, ’sides, he snapped at one of the men '

yesterday!”

Reflections.

“Why, where have you been so long?”

she asked, as he joined the party on the ho-
\ tel piazza.

“0h, simply indulging in quiet refleo

self in the mirror, I suppose.”-—New York

WHY KURENT GOVERNS.

MAN’S STRUGGLE WITH THE SLA-
VONIC DIVINITY.

The Human Overcome Not by Prowess
But by‘Flattery—Singular Story .5: the
Fall of the Race—Man Becomes a Prey
to His Appetite and Is Dwarfed.

Kurent and man contended which should
rule the earth. Neither Kurcnt wouldlyield
to man nor man to Kurent, for he (man)
was so gigantic—he wouldn’t even have
noticed it if nine of the people of the present
day had danced up and down his nostrils.

“Come,” said Kurent, “let us see which
is the stronger; whether it is I or you that
is to rule the earth. Yonder is a broad sea;
the one that springs across it best shall
have both the earth and all that is on the
other side of the sea, and that is, in faith,
a hundred times more valuable than this
wilderness. ”

Man agreed. Kurent took off his coat
and jumped across the sea, so that just one
foot was wetted when he sprang on to dry
land. Now he began to jecr at the man;
but the man held his tongue, didn’t get out
of temper, neither did he take off his coat,
but stepped without efifort and quite easily
over the sea, as over a brook, and came on
to dry land without even wetting a foot.
"I’m the stronger,” said man to Kurent;
“see how my foot is dry and yours is wet.”

“The first time you have overcome me,”
answered Kurent. “Y ours are the plains,
yours is the sea and what is beyond the
sea, but that isn’t all the earth. There is
also some beneath us and above us. Come,
then, let us see a second time which is the
stronger. ”

Kurent stood on a hollow rock and
stamped on it with his foot so that it burst
with a noise like thunder and split in
pieces. The rock broke up and a cavern
was seen where dragons were brooding.
Now the man also stamped, and the earth
cloaked and broke up right to the bottom,
just where pure gold flowed like a broad
river, and the dragons fell down.

“This trial, too, is yours,” said Kurent,
“but I don’t acknowledge you emperor till
you overpower me in a third fierce contest.
Yonder is a very lofty mountain. It rises
above the clouds; it reaches to the celestial
table, where the cock sits and watches
God’s provisions Now then take you an
arrow and shoot and so will I. The one
which shoots highest is the stronger, and
his is the earth and all that is beneath and
, above it.” _

Kurent shot, and his arrow wasn’t back
for eight days; then the man shot, and his
arrow flew for nine days; and when on the
tenth day it fell the celestial cock that
guarded God’s provisions fell also, spitted
upon it.

“You are emperor,” said cunning Kurent.
“I make obeisance to you as befits a sub-
ject”

But the man was good natured, and made
a. covenant of adoptive brotherhood with
Kurent, and went off to enjoy his imperial
dignity. Kurent, too, went off, but he was
anndyed that the man had put him to
shame; Where he could not prevail by
strength be determined to succeed‘by craft.
“You are a hero, man,” he would say. “I
am witness thereto; but beware of me if
you are a hero also in simplicity; I go to
bring you a gift that I have devised entirely
by myself.”

He squeezed the vine, his stick, and
pure red wine burst out of lift “Here’s a
gift for you. Now, then, where are you?”
He found the man on the earth the other
side of the sea, where he was enjoying a
bowl of sweet stirabout.

”What are you doing, my lord?” said
Kurent.

“I’ve mixed a bowl of stirabout from
white wheat and red fruit, and, see, here I
am eating it and drinking water.”

“My poor lord, you are emperor of the
world and drinking water! Hand me a
cup‘ that I may present you with better
drink, which I, your'humble servant, have
prepared for you myself.” ~ . .

The man was deceived, took the cup with
red wine and drank some of it. ”Thank
you, adopted brother, you are very kind,
but your drink is naught.”

Kurent was disgusted, went off again
and thought and thought how to cheat the
man. Again be squeezed his stick, again
red wine burst forth from it. But Kur'ent
did not allow it to remain pure; the rascal
mixed hellebore with it, which Vilas
and prophetesses pluck by moonlight to
nourish themselves with. A second time
he went in search of the man, and found
him.at the bottom of the earth, where pure
gold was flowing like a broad river.

“What are you doing, my lord?” asked
Kurent,

“I am getting myself a golden shirt, and
I am tired andvery thirsty, but there’s no
water here, and it’s a longway tothe world
-seven years’ journey.” '

“I am at your . service,” said Kurent.
“Here’s a cup of wine for you; better never
saw the red sun.”

The man was deceived, took it and drank
it up. “Thank you, Kureniz You are good
and your drink is good, too.”

Kfirent was going to pour him out a
fresh cupful, but the man would not allow
it, for his nature was still sober and sensi-
ble. Kurent was disgusted, and went off
to see whether he could not devise some—
thing better. For the third time he squeez-
ed his stick. Wine burst out more strong-
ly, but this time it did not remain pure
nor without sin. The rascal applied an
arrow, opened a vein and let some black
blood flow into the wine. Again he went
in search of the man, and found him on
the high mountain at God’s table, where
he was feasting on roast meat which had
not been roasted for him, but for God him-
self. ' '

“What are. you doing, my lord?” asked
Kurent in amazement and joy when he
sawthat the man was sinning abominably.

“Here I am, sitting and eating roast
meat; but take yourself off, for I am afraid
of God, lest he should come up and smite
me.”

“Never fear,” was Kurent’s advice.
“How do you like God’s roast meat?”

“It’s nice, but it’s heavy. I can scarcely
swallow it.”

“I am at your service,” said Kurent.
“Here is wine for you, the like of which
isn’t on earth or in heaven, but only with
me.”

The NEW]. time the man was deceived,
but cruelly. “Thank you, Kurent,” he

said. “You are good, but your drink is
better. Draw me some more, us becomes a

faithful servant.”

Kurcnt did so, and the man’s eyes be-
came dim, and he thought no more of
God, but remained at table. Suddenly
God returned, and seeing the man dozing
and eating roast meat at his table became
angry, and smote him down the mountain
with his mighty hand, where he .lay half
dead for many years, all bruised and hurt.
When he got well again his strength had
diminished. He could neither step across
the sea, nor go down to the bottom of the
earth, nor up hill to the -celestial table.
Thus Kurcnt ruled the world, and man
and mankind have been weak and dwarfed
‘ from that time forth—New York Press.

MILLIONAIRE -. SPLITLOG.

Some of the Curious Personal Traits of
the Wealthicst Indian.

I have just returned froma trip through

Arkansas and Indian territory, and lathe '

course of my travels I met what I never 6;:-
pected to see in this world—a. millionaire
Indian. I had heard of this; unique per-
sonage, but was not prepared to meet such
a strange cambination of opulence and ig-
norance. He'is knoWn as Matthias Split-
log, the chief of the Wyandotte tribe, and
is a powerfully built man, 5 feet 8 inches
tall, with a swarthy countenance, but not
the high cheek bones usually found in the
Indian. This is accounted for from the
fact that Splitlog is a half breed, having
been born in Canada and afterward adopt—
ed into the Wyandotte tribe in 1843, before
its removal from northern Ohio to the
west. Splitlog is now 70 years old, and
cannot read or write. He speaks English
imperfectly, but is a great money getter,
and is constantly growing richer by the
advance upon the thousands of acres of

.lands which he owns in southwestern Mis—

souri and the Indian territory.

A story will give an idea of the old chief’s
manner of transacting business. About
two years ago a symdicate of Kansas City
Capitalists persuaded him to part with 140
acres of land on the Kaw bottoms between
the two Kansas Citys for $140,000. The
trade was to be completed at one of the
banks on Minnesota avenue, Kansas City,
Kan, at 10 o’clock on a certain morning.
Promptly a few minutes before the time
Splitlog walked into the bank and took a
seat. He kept his eye on the clock, and as
the hand pointed to the hour of 10, and the
other party had not yet materialized, the
chief put on his hat and started down the
avenue. At a. short distance he met the
capitalists on their way to close the bar-
gain. They said they were ready for busi-
ness.

“Not today,” replied the chief.

Knowing that persuasion would be use—
less, they asked when he would meet them.

“To-morrow, 10 o’cloc ” was the laconic
response.

At 10 o’clock all were present at the bank.

“Can’t sell for $140,000; must have $160,~
000,” said the leandotte chief.

The surprised purchasers held a hasty
council and decided that they must hustle
up the $160,000 or the figures would go still
higher. They raised $20,000 more and
counted out the money in crisp greenbacks.
As the chief saw the paper money he shook
his head.

“Can’t take paper money; must have
gold,” said he.

Quickly half adozen hacks were called
and the banks of Kansas City were ran-
sacked for the required amount of the yel-
low metal. After it was fixed upon a ta.-
ble before the chief he pawed it over like a
miser and then said:

“Give ’em deed.”

The money was deposited in the bank.
but Splitlog would have opened his eyes
had be seen the same hacks used in col-
lecting the gold receiving it again and be-
ing driven rapidly back to Missouri. That
140 acres of land is now selling at the rate
of $2,000,000 and proved one of the best
speculations ever entered into at the mouth
of the Kaw.

Splitlog is married and has seven chil-
dren. He never stops at a hotel when vis-
iting Kansas City, Kan, where he owns
valuable property, but always puts up with
a negro who is one of his tenants. One of
his daughters is married to a negro. He
is building a railroad in southwest Mis-
souri. In religion he is a Roman Catholic.
There is rather a peculiar history given of
the origin of his name. At the time of his
birth his mother was at work with other
Indian women in a field near a log that had
been split. As she gave birth to him near
that log he was christened “Splitlog.” He
is still robust and active and bids fair to
live to a great age—Denver News.

Ostrichcs for Hawaii.

In the miscellaneous freight littering the
deck of the steamer Australia, whichsailed
for the Sandwich Islands, were_s6mie~ odd
passengers. They were three full grown
ostriches, the pioneers of what is fondly ex—
pected to be a new industry in the Hawaiian
group of islands. The birds are consigned
to Dr. Trousseau, of Honolulu.

Ed Cawston, who sold the birds to their
new owner, and who was busy getting his
charges safely stored, had this to say to a
reporter of their interesting history:

“They are three of the fifty-two birds I
bought on the east coast of Africa in 1887.
I had them taken 1,000 miles up the coast
toDurban, and thus saved $500 export duty
on each one. At Durban I chartered a 300
ton bark and started with them for Gal—
veston, Tex. The voyage was a remark-
ably smooth and pleasant one, so I only
lost ten of my birds. Shippers usually
count on a loss _of 50 per cent, for-the
slightest roughness on the water sickens
them and they die. At Galveston I shipped
them on special cars to Los Angeles, and
thence to Norwalk farm, some forty miles
south. The birds cost me $75 apiece in
Africa and $150 each to get them here.

“Yes, the ostrich industry is now fairly
established in this state. I’ve done very
well with my forty-two birds. Already
I’ve raised and sold fifty-five birds. My
biggest shipment was seventeen to Phoenix,
A. T. There must be at least 450 birds" now
scattered over the southern portion of this
state alone. This trio are worth $1,000.
The feathers of each bird will bring from
$75 to $100 a year. The birds I am sending
away raise thirty chicks a year, A hen
usually lays fifteen eggs for a. setting, but
by taking the eggs away as they are laid
we manage to get thirty eggs out of them.
The eggs are hatched by incubators.

“These two hens and cock are the first
shipped to the islands. They are‘good
birds, and I see no reason why Dr. Trous-
seau should not make a success of breeding
them. If these get started all right he is
going to send for a dozen more. What
will they eat on the voyage? Oh, chopped
potatoes and rocks.”—San Francisco E’x—
ammer.

They Arrest Americans.

The ex-Empress Eugenie had quite an
adventure some time ago en route from
Liege to Cologne. She was sitting in afirst
class railway compartment when a man
entered, and producing a pipe began to
smoke industriously. The guard repre-
sented to the fellow that the compartment
was reserved for ladies, but this warning
had no effect upon the rufiian, who con-
tinued to smoke so fast that the air in the
compartment soon became intolerable and
tho (ax—empress fainted away. At the next
stop she was removed to another compart-
ment. When told who the lady was the
man expressed satisfaction that he had
smoked her out. “I’ve paid my fare and
I’m as good as anybody else,” said he.
Strangely enough the fellow was not arrest-
ed for violation of the rule prohibiting in-
trusion into and smoking in the compart-
ment reserved for ladies. It is said, how-
ever, that railway regulations in Europe
are enforced in the cases of foreign patrons
only. Let an American break the pettiest
rule and he is mulcted promptly and to
the very limit—Eugene Field in Chicago

Hints.

Figured deal, consisting of the amber
variegated dark parts of the wood, associat
ed with the delicate white and softer parts,
is being introduced into furniture by some
of our cabinet makers. The wood is simply
polished and varnished. The application
is by no means new, for in the room used
for cabinet meetings in the royal palace at
Berlinthe wood work is of this material,
and so handsome is the eifect‘ produced
that visitors usually suppose that it is
some fine and rare exotic wood.

It is a singular fact that in England there
came a time when the wainscoting itself
of an apartment was considered “mean” if
not covered with tapestry and painted
cloth, although it consisted of British oak
and polished red fir from Sweden. The.
idea of 'rich hangings being employed to
conceal decoration has something humor-
ous about it. Later, in 1216, came the
painting of wainscots. A record of that
time states that the subjects were “from
sacred and profane history;” this, of course,
in the dwellings of the wealthy. The
wainscot usually rose only some sixfcct, and
the upper portion of the wall was a virtual
frieze, being “frequently starred with roses,
whilst t c bor‘ders were of different pat—
terns.” Up to 1612 green, red and tawny
colors were those chiefly used in the‘dis-
temper decoration. Some of the frieze
pieces were'landscapes.

Probably the simplest way of waxing __ a
floor is to apply a mixture of wax andjitur-
pentine. The pores will be filled upfandn
surface given which only needs rubbing
with a linen cloth forming theexterior of
