NTENTMENT.
Being Sat U fled with One's Lot If at
N i>lo State of Mind.
Contentment is a precious posses
sion. You who have this jewel care for
it carefully. Let no storms darken its
heauty for a moment Add to it day by
day the precious stones of meekness
and quietness. Be thankful for the
gift of making others happy. Con
tentment in a circle is like the bril
liant sun shedding its light serenely
on all around. Oh! for the mind that
can pass by the splendors of this life
and yet npt covet them; the rosy
cheeked girl in modest gown and
shabby bonnet who can look at her
well-dressed neighbor without an ach
ing, envious heart. Oh! for the spirit of
the man who, beholding his friend ride
by in a splendid carriage, can still go
calmly back to his plow or hoe with
out a bitter thought. Such a one is
truly as far above the sneers and
laughter of the unthinking as is heav
en above earth. Contentment is that
quality of some minds that makes the
possessor happy in spite of reverses or
misfortune. Do not worry; It does no
good and merely renders you more dis
contented and unhappy. It wears on
your nerves, makes you angry and
cross, and leaves you in a state of ner
vous prostration, so that when real
trouble comes it finds you unable to
manfully cope with it. If by strong am
bition and hard work on your part you
cannot better your condition in life,
be satisfied with your lot and let your
smile of contentment make some sun
shine in the lives of your less favored
friends.—Mrs. W. H. Crandall of Stan
ton, Ala., in Pennsylvania Grit.
HAD TO SKIP THE LATIN.
Lawyer's Embarrassment Before Supreme
Court Furnishes Amusement.
"While I was in practice,” says
Judge Gates of Kansas City, “I was
before the Supreme Court on one oc
casion. While waiting for my case to
be called I listened to a lawyer from
the southeastern part of the state ar
guing his case. He wras at least 6 feet
7 inches tall, and had a voice so deep
that when he spoke it seemed like
the rumbling of Niagara. ‘I will read,’
he said, ‘from a work with which
your honors are no doubt familiar—
Blackstone.’ The judges did not
smile, although there was a decided
twinkle in their eyes as they glanced
at each other. The man read a few
lines and then said: ‘There is refer
ence here, your honors, to a footnote
by Lord Granville. I would have
your honors pay particular attention
to this note, because it is by Lord
Granville.’ The judges waited ex
pectantly. The lawyer held the book
in front of him, glanced at it two or
three times and then coughed as many
times in rather an embarrassed man
ner. Everybody waited for several
seconds. Finally he said: ‘Your hon
ors, I see on closer inspection that
this footnote is in Latin, so I reckon
I’d better skip that.’ ”
Wild Animals That Come High.
That large sums of money are spent
an zoological gardens every one knows,
vet few persons have any idea of the
actual market value of the more im
portant animals in such gardens, and
for this reason an article on the sub
ject by Herr Ernest Pinckert, director
of the garden in Leipsic, is now at
tracting attention in Europe. A com
mon seal, he says, is worth only a few
dollars, but one of a rare species costs
from $300 to $450. A lion is worth
from $130 to $600, according to its age
tnd race. A Siberian tiger costs $1,000,
a Bengal tiger $500 and a Java tiger
only $800. The price of a good zebra is
not lcrs than $500, and a good bison
aosts $800, while an inferior specimen
can be bought for $500. An African
elephant cannot be bought for less than
$1,200. Finally, Herr Pinckert says,
that of all exotic animals there is
hardly one which is as costly as the
giraffe, the lowest price for such an
animal being $3,000 and the usual price
from $4,000 to $5,000. Many of the
smaller animals in a zoological garden
are also high-priced, one reason being
that for many rare animals there is a
keen competition, not only among
managers of zoological gardens, but
also among proprietors of circuses and
other traveling shows.
Not That Kind of Animal.
Way back in the mountains of West
Virginia a Presbyterian minister some
time ago fell in with some people who
seemed to be well fitted for the mis
sionary efforts on which he was bent.
He had been riding nearly all day and
late in the afternoon came upon a
cabin set in the midst of a woodland.
Near the door was a spare, straight
haired woman, who gazed at him curi
ously. The minister spoke to her
courteously and made some inquiries
regarding the neighborhood. Her hus
band was a hunter, the woman said.
“And is he a God-fearing man?” asked
the preacher. "I reckon so,” came the
slow reply, ” ’cause lie always takes
his gun with him.” The visitor has
tily changed the subject and inquired
if there were any Presbyterians in the
neighborhood. “I dunno,” said the
woman, simply, “but there’s a lot of
skins hanging up in the cabin; you can
look at ’em and see if you can find
any.”—Baltimore Sun.
Crushing a Lawyer.
De Wolfe Hopper was once a wit
ness in a suit for slander, and the op
posing counsel in the courtroom said:
“You are an actor, I believe?” “Yes,”
replied Hopper. "Is not that a low
calling?” “I don’t know, but it’s so
much better than my father’s that I
am rather proud of it.” “What was
your father's calling, may I ask?” “He
* was a lawyer,” said Hopper.
Aleutians DM by the Hundreds.
The rapid decline of the native popu
lation of the Aleutian chain of islands
Is told in a report just received by
(he marine hospital service from Mr.
F. J. Thornbury, Us assistant surgeon
at Dutch harbor, Alaska. The report
says that formerly there were 120 vil
lages on the islands with a native
population variously estimated at from
1,600 to 2,500. Now, in the same dis
trict there are only 10 villages and
1,000 inhabitants, exclusive of whites,
of whom 300 are creoles (mixed breed
with Russians and other nationalities)
and 700 natives.
“Mt. McKinley.”
A bill will bo introduced into the
next New Hampshire legislature
changing the name of Mount Pleas
»nt, in the Presidential range, to
‘Mount McKinley.” There is prece
lent for the change, Inasmuch as, bo
lides the five early Presidents, only
those who have been shot by assas
1ns have had their names given to
mountains. The name Lincoln was be
stowed on the second highest peak of
the Franconia group, and "Mount Gar
field” displaced Haystack mountain in
1881.
Four Territories Seeking Admission.
There are now four territories seek
ing admission into the Union as states
*nd according to all precedents they
have a better chance of succeeding in
the matter in Congress, especially in
advance of a presidential election, if
they are of the same politics as the
dominant party in Washington. Of
the four, three, Oklahoma, New Mex
ico and the Indian Territory are gen
erally regarded as Republican, and
only one, Arizona, as Democratic.—
New York Sun.
Epitaph for Equine.
A recent number of the Westminster
Gazette contains the following obitu
ary notice: "Mercifully sent to sleep
at Landguard, full of years and honor.
Freedom, a chestnut mare belonging
to Dr. Cowper. She was bred by me
and was named ‘Freedom’ by Mr. Bart
lett on account of her absolute free
dom of movement when quite a tiny
Ally. In her best days she would be
hard to pass on any road.”
Trick in* a Chronolo& er.
President Pritchett of the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, in
relating his experience in college re
cently, said that the way boys had of
finding a certain professor was to step
into the middle of the college yard
and call out a date in American his
tory. Instantly the professor would
come out from some window or door
in the college and say that the date
was incorrect.
Local Option in Mississippi.
Few as the saloons are in Missis
sippi, they pay nearly one-third of the
state’s total Income from privilege tax
es. Mississippi is regarded as one of
the most ultra of prohibition states,
made so by the anti-saloon sentiment
In a majority of the counties under
the local option system. Fourteen of
the counties pay the bulk of the $150,
000 received annually from this tax.
American Enterprise in Mexico.
An American syndicate has Just
bought the old McKenzie concession to
supply the City of Mexico with water.
The water will be brought from the
Almoloya springs, forty miles south
west of this capital. The work will in
clude sixteen miles of canal, six miles
of steel p ,iing and the installation of
motive power.
American Coal in Enrope.
So great has become the demand
tor American coal in Europe that it
has been decided to build an immense
receiving station for unloading, screen
ing and grading coal in northern
France. Rates have been made on
French roads which will drive Ger
man coal out of central Europe.
Sues Neighbor for Raising Mosquitoes.
A man in Chappaqua, N. Y., has sued
his neighbor for damages because the
neighbor built a dam on his premises,
creating a pond which has since been
a breeding place for mosquitoes. The
man who sues says that there never
were any mosquitoes around his place
until this dam was built.
Nursemaid. Behind British Recruits.
General Buller once explained why
It was necessary to put such showy
clothing on most of tha troops: “Be
cause a showy uniform attracts Mary
Ann, the nursemaid, who makes Tom
my Atkins join the army. In plain
uniforms, you would find recruiting a
harder job than ever."
An Independent American Citizen.
While riding In a Maine country road
a traveler observed a field of corn
which was overrun with rank weeds,
and midway of the place was a large,
conspicuously displayed sign with the
following: “Notiss! None of Your
Business if This Corn Ain’t Hoed."
Clean Persons Among Lepers.
In the leper settlement on the island
'of Molakal, there were 909 lepers and
164 “clean” persons. The general
opinion was that the “clean" would in
time become leprous. Nearly 1,100
people are housed, fed and clothed for
about $80,000 a year.
