MAKE MONEY, DINKS.
"Make money, Diukts" my friend ad-
vised,
And his advice thus emphasised:—
"You then will have at your command
The choicest pleasures of the land ;
In fine apparel can appear
Throughout the whole revolving year;
Your table groan beneath the weight
Of dishes rare and delicate ;
Your larder filled to overflow,
And in your closet many a row
Of china, bought at prices high,
To please the taste and charm the eye ;
Your liveried coachman to your door,
Subservient, bring your coach and four:
Obsequious servants on you wait
To do whate'er you indicate.
All public nneellngs will declare
That 'Mr Dinks must take the chair;'
To parties you will be invited,
Your smallest utterance recited,
And all you chance to say, in soottt,
Pronounced to be the gospel truth;
Though you, with voice and face sedate,
Dissemble and prevaricate ;
Th' elite will with your vices bear,
Churches expect you at each fair,
And honored seat for you prepare.
You'll be invited everywhere,'
To haute ton;balls and social clubs,
Where poorer men will meet with snubs,
Though better far than you, or they
Who Fashion's low behests obey,
The rich,the middle class thepoor,
.
Will throng your pathway and implore,
With hesitating, shy advance,
To cast on them your haughty glance,
And humbly their obeisance make,
Not for you, but your money's sake.
Give heed to what L tell you now— '
Make money, Dinks—no matter how."
And it is true, that, o'er the earth,
Base Mammon tritfmphs over \Vorth,
That mea thus meekly bow to Wealth,
Though gained by roguery and stealth,
And even churches antepone
The rich, and all their faults condone,
And pamper, praise and flatter them,
While the poor sinner they condemn.
Nay; 'tis a fable, I beliei'e,
'Rehearsed to me but to deceive.

That's queer! Well it was like this :
Col. Crockett was noted for his skill as
a marksman. One day ho levelled his

out, "Hello, there! Are you Davy Croc-
kett? If you are, L'll just come down.
for I know I'm a gone coon." Just take
a close of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets, and see how quickly your
billiousness and indigestion will emulate
the example of "Davy Crockett's coon,"
and "climb down." They are specifics

A Famous Doctor
Once said that the secret of good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayer's Pills
as an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so many of his
distinguished successors are doing.
The celebrated Dr. Farnsworth, of
Norwich, Conn,, recommends Ayer's
Pills as the best of all remedies for
"Intermittent Fevers,"
Dr. I. E. Fowler, of Bridgeport,
Conn., says: "flyer's Pills are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. I make daily use of them
in my practice."
Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass.,
says: "Having prescribed many thou-
sands of Ayer's Pills, in my practice, I
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use."
The Massachusetts State Assayer, Dr.
A. A. Hayes, certifies : " I have made a
careful analysis of Ayer's Pills. They
contain the active principles .of. well-
known drugs, isolated front inert mat-
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
of great importance to their usefulness.
It insures activity, certainty, and uni-
formity of effect. Ayer's Pills contain
no metallic or mineral s}tbstance, but
the virtues of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination."

COWBOYS OF THE PLAINS,
Theodore Roosevelt's Pen Picture of a
Class That Will Soon Pass Away.
Singly, or in twos or threes, they gallop
their wiry little horses down the street, their
lithe, supple figures erect or swaying slightly
as they sit loosely in the saddle, while their
stirrups are so long that their knees are
hardly bent, the bridles not taut enough to
keep the chains from clanking. They are
smaller and less muscular than the wielders
of ax and pick; but they are as hardy and
self reliant as any men who ever breathed—
with bronzed, set faces, and keen eyes that
look all the world straight in the face with-
out flinching as they flash out from under the
broad brimmed hats. Peril and hardship
and years of long toil, broken by weeks of
brutal dissipation, draw haggard lines across
their eager faces, but never dim their reck-
less eyes nor break their bearing of defiant
self-confidence.
They do not walk well, partly because they
so rarely do any work out of the saddle,
partly because their chaperajos, or leather
overalls, hamper them when on the ground;
but their appearance is striking for all that,
and picturesque, too, with their jingling
spurs, the big revolvers stuck in their belts,
and bright silk handkerchiefs knotted loosely
round their necks over the open collars of
the flannel shirts. When drunk on the vit.-
Imams
ii.lainous whisky of the frontier towns they
cut mad antics, riding their horses into the
saloons, firing their pistols right and left,
from boisterous lightheartedness rather than
from any viciousness, and indulging too often
in deadly shooting affrays, brought on either
by the accidental contact of the moment or
on account of some long»,sfanding grudge, or
perhaps because of bad blood between two
ranches or localities; ahties; but except while on
such sprees they are quiet, rather self cou-
tained men, perfectly frank and simple, and
on their own ground treat a stranger with
the e most whole soured ho§ italt
tY, doing all
in their power for him and scorning to take
any reward in return.
Although prompt to resebt an injury, they
are not at all apt to be rude to outsiders,
treating them with what can almost be called
a grave courtesy. They are much better fel-
lows and pleasanter companions than small
farmers or agricultural laborers, nor are the
mechanics and workmen of a great city to
be mentioned in the same breath.—Theodore
Roosevelt in Tho Century.
Washington's Habits.
He was very simple in his domestic habits,
rising often in midwinter at 5 o'clock. He
kindled his own fire, and read or wrote by
candle light until 7 o'clock, when he break-
fasted very frugally. His ordinary break-
fast was two small cups of tea and three or
four cakes of Indian meal, called hoecakes.
After breakfast he mounted one of his superb
horses, and in simple attire, but which set off
to great advantage his majestic frame, vis-
ited all those parts of the extended estate
where any work was in progress. Every-
thing was subjected to a careful supervision.
At times he dismounted and even lent a help-
ing hand in futheranco of the operations
wtticb were going on. He dined at :3 o'clock
and retired at about 9 in the evening.. He
was kind in word and deed to his negro
slaves, and while careful that they should
not be overtasked, was equally careful that
they should not loiter their time away in idle-
ness. The servants were proud of their stately,
dignified, wealthy master, and looked up to
hint with a reverence amounting almost to
religious homage. Washington :,was very
fond of the chase. Often when riding to a
distant part of the estate he would take some
of the bounds with frim in the hope of start-
ing up a fox. The habits and tastes of the
old English nobility in•evailed in Virginia to
an extraordinary degree. The passion for
following the bound` was thoroughly trans-
planted from the broad estates of the Eng-
lish landholders to the vast realms which na-
ture bad reared and embellished on the banks
of the Potomac and amid the ridges of the
Alleghenies.
An Aim:lent Canal Uncovered.
II. J. Stevenson, surveyor for the Palm
Valley Water company, reports
making a
singular discovery while surveying the canal
line running south and easterly from the old
Agua Caliente springs. He had run one
line on al grade of four feet to the mile from
the present terminus of the stone canal to
the new town site, but in crossing the de-
pression near the mountain it would become
necessary to build a quarter of a mile of flam-
ing. In order to obviate this expense he was
instructed to make a new survey on a grade
of eight feet to the mile, so as to strike the
town site at a lower level and cross the de-
pression without a flume. On this last sur-
vey, after crossing the -depression in good
shape, he struck an old canal that must have
been used centuries ago, for large trees had
grown up in the very bottom of the canal,
and the indications were that when' used it
carried a very largo volume of water. The
most singular thing abotit'the canal was that
the surveyors found it just where they wanted
tc) construct the new canal, and in following
it up for a distance of about a mile it was
found to have a regular grade of about eight
feet to the mile.—Riverside (Cal.) Press.

people were gathered to their feed. This s as
pork and potatoes cooked together in a kettle
with copious liquid accompaniment. Gath-
ered in groups on the deck about each kettle,
the only knife in possession of each group
was used b
as the first man, who (rut off

;step was to secure a potato and place it on

let it trickle down to the meat. By reversing
his hand and' eating from each end of it al-
ternately he was able to eat meat, potato
and soup all in ono process. The sight of a

tion must have been inspiring,—Buffalo Ex-

HEAVENLY BODIES.
PROGRESS WHICH HAS BEEN MADE
IN ASTRONOMICAL SCIENCE.
The Great Change Which [las Taken
Place Since 1800—Tire Wonders of Our
Own System --Problems Iu9nite in Num-
ber and Extent.
Looking back to the year 1800 we are as-
tonished at the change. The comparatively
simple scie..ce of the heavenly bodies known
to our predecessors, almost perfect as far as
it went, incurious of what lay behind its
grasp, has developed into a body of manifold
powers and parts, each with its separate
mode and means of growth, full of strong vi-
tality, but animated by a restless and un-
satisfied spirit, haunted by the sense of prob.,
gems unsolved, and tormented by conscious
impotence to sound the immensities it per-
petually Confronts.
Knowledge might then be said to be
bounded by the solar system; but even the
solar system presented itself under an aspect
strangely different from that it now wears.
It consisted of the sun,' seven. planets and
twice as many satellites, all circling har-
moniously in obedience to a universal law,
by the compensating action of which the in-
definite stability of their mutual relations
was secured. The occasional incursion of a
comet, or the periodical preser of a single
such wanderer chained by planetary or solar
attraction to prevent escape to outer space,
availed nothing to impair the symmetry of
the majestic spectacle.
Now, not alone have the ascertained limits
of the system m beau widened w
Y 1,000,000,000
of miles, with the addition of one more giant
planet and six satellites to the ancient classes
of its members, but a complexity has been
given to its constitution baffling description
tion
or thought. Tty
hundred
and seventy cir-
culating planetary bodies bridge the -gap be-
tween Jupiter and Mars, the complete inves-
tigation of the mpvements of any one of
which would overtask the energies of a life-
time. Meteorites, strangers apparently to
the fundamental ordering of the solar house-
hold, swarm, nevertheless, by millions in
every cranny of its space, returning at regu-
lar intervals like the comets, so singularly
associated with them, or sweeping across it
with hyperbolic velocity. brought re -haps
from some distant star. And each of these
cosmical grains of dust has a theory far more
complex than that of Jupiter; it bears'within
it the secret of its origin and fulfills a func-
tion in the universe.
TAE SUN AND PLANETS.
• Tho sun itself is no longer a semi -fabulous,
fire girt globe, but the vast scene of the play
of forces as yet Imperfectly known to us,
offering a boundless fold for the most ardu-
ous and inspiring researches. Among the
planets, the widest variety in physical habi-
tudes is seen to prevail, and each is recog-
nized as a world apart, inviting inquiries
which, to be effective, must necessarily be
special and detailed. Even our "own moon
threatens to break loose from the trammels
'of calculation, and commit "errors'which
sap the very foundations of the lunar theory
and suggest the formidable necessity for its
revision. Nay, the steadfast earth has for-
feited the implicit confidence placed in it as a
timekeeper, and p , t questions ,relating to the
stability of the earth's axis and the constaucy
of the earth's rate of rotation are ancone
those which it behooves the future to answer.
Everywhere there is. multiformity and
change, stimulating a curiosity which the
rapid development of Methods of research
offers tho possibility of at least partially
gratifying.
Outside the solar. system' 111e problems

u are all
but' infinite in number . and extent. And
these have all risen and crowded upon our
thoughts within less than 100 years. 'For
sidereal science became a recognized branch
of astronomy only through' Ilerschel's dis-
covery • of the revolutions utnon of double stars in
1802. Vet already it may be, and has been
called "the astronomy of the future," so rap-
idly has the development of a keen and uni-
versal interest attended and stimulated the
growth of pourer to investigate this sublime
subject. What has been demo is little—is
scarcely a beginning; yet it is much in com-
parison with 'the total blank of a century
past. And nor _ knowledge will, we are
easily persuaded, appeat' in turn the merest
ignorance to those who comic after us. Yet

Practical Value of Science.
An illustration of the practical usefulness
of bacteriology was furnished recently. An
Italian, steainer arrived loaded with immi-
grants. There had been no cholera on board,
but, as the vessel reached port, a suspicious
case of diarrhoea occurred in a child. The
symptoms were not perfectly typical of
cholera. Some of the dejection were taken,
and sterilized tubes were inoculated and
taken to the Carnegie laboratory. It would
take' four days to develop the cultures, and
the question arose whether the steamer should
be delayed for that period of time. It was
finally decided to do so. The cultures devel-
oped in the way characteristic of Asiatic
cholera, and the diagnosis was made.
Subse-
quently other cases of cholera appeared, and
the culture diagnosis was abundantly con-
firmed. But no more striking example of
the utility of scientific studies could be fur-
nishedth" han 1 to.—Medical

The Charge of the Future.
Writing in 1878 on the conclusions to be
drawn from his study of the Russian cam-
paign against Turkey, Capt. Greene, United
States engineers, said: "Four hundred men,
garrisoning a little redoubt of 100 yards on a
side, and firing both from the parapet and
the ditch, can now in twelve minutes easily
deliver 24,000 shots, a veritable frail of lead,
each pellet of of which, if it strikes a vital
part, is fatal, up to a distance of a mile- and
a quarter; and if but one in twenty of these
bullets finds its billet, the defenders will
have destroyed 1,200 men during the time
that the assailants are passing over this mile
and a quarter, i. e., three tittles their own
number." In 1803 the possible destruction
was less than a twelfth of that. in T. But
it must be allowed that the possible destruc-
tion in 1888 will have doubled that 011887,
and the defense will have correspondingly
doubled its power. So the attack will be in
the future weaker than ever, whether against
works
or mere field iutrcuchmemts to' rifle

Origin of the Sandwich.
Of the millions of travelers who have par-
taken of the luscious sandwich as they
traveled through life and dined at the
gorgeous railway lunch counter, few prob-
ably know where this hunger annihilating
viand got its unique name. It was not from
the islands in the Pacific ocean, as some sup
pose, nor from the sand "wieh" is found 111

crat, who was such an' inveterate gambler

Fire AIarm for HHorses.
A New Yorker has invented a method of
saving horses incase of fire. The device is
to be worked by either electricity or hand.
When the temperature rises to a certain
point a bell rings. At the same moment the
stable 'doors fly open and the horses are au-
tomatically unhitched; while two streams of
water spurt from the wall at the tight height
to strike the horse in the face. To escape this

What Becomes of the Antlers.
Dr. C. A. White; of Harrisburg, thinks he
knows what becomes of the antlers that deet•'
shed every year. Although the antlers when
the deer is killed before they are removed
will withstand all weathers for years, it is
very rarely that a pair that have been shed
are found. Dr. White asserts that ho has
discovered a small insect that attacks the
antlers, and within a short . time after they
are shed destroys them by burrowing through
-and through thein.—Chicago Herat1.
