WAltD HW What will the coming centuries bring us? Will master minds and large hearts work out for us a mode of life where each and every one shall have an equal share of earth's boun­ ties? No. That can not be now, nor ever until there be created a new Heaven and a new earth. The worm can not be a bird, nor does it desire that we mart be walking through the mazes of Heaven. Transportation, like all other in­ dustries, was free; yet everything was done on a more magnificent scale than ever we had imagined. You ask how they could afford this. Simply because the country was rich with material of every kind, just as our country is; but, unlike us, everything was free--free as air and water. A child grew up; its predominating talent was discovered at as early an age as possible; the parents took it to the Sage of their pre­ cinct telling him of their dis­ covery, and the Sage gave them the necessary certificates to get him properly stationed in the Government industrial home and school for-chil­ dren, in the city or precinct where his particular genius is cultivated. And, let me tell you, these industries in the manufacturing towns es­ pecially, were all kept outside the walls of the cities, the walls being fancy and beaut iful structures used as a screen to shut out the unsightly appearances of these shops with their dirt and noise. The people were educated to do the very finest work possible in each de­ partment. No matter how small the article made, nor how insignificant, it must be the very best work possi­ ble. There were places in every city where young girls were taught all manner of domestic work; and those best adapted were carried into all in­ tricacies and finer departments of the culinary art. Those not adapted to the abode or food of the bird; but th,s work.were takcn from it as soon there will come a day when, like the bird and the worm, each shall have all he needs to thrive and be content, of whatever his or her genius may re­ quire. Let us visit a new country to­ gether, dear readers. I see a city with walls high and beautiful, covered with a solid mass of the sweet forget-me-not vine, whose numerous tiny blossoms seem but a reflection of the vast blue above them. The rich fields surrounding this beautiful city are bright with nature's verdant carpet. To say the sun shone brightly always, would be to picture a place so full of misery and discontent; indeed, 'twould spoil the picture to rob it of nature's ever changing colors. 2Jo, clouds came, and laugh­ ing drops of waStr fell to quench the thirsty flowers, vines and trees, and washed their pretty leaves; the blades of grass nodded in the breeze as if to thank the hand that sent the shower. W ithin the palace dwelt a people so happy that e'en the god's might dwell there. In the center stood a palace, of such magnificence as the human mind can scarce conceive, in this day and age of the world. The blocks used in erecting this beautiful structure, were in form square, trans­ parent in appearance, and looked like great blocks of ice, the jagged fronts sparkling like so many diamonds. The architecture was equally grand, the numerous bay-windows,square and round, containing only one mammoth plate of glass, some oval, some dia­ mond shaped, of various colors. The doors were made of wood completely covered with highly-polished ham­ mered brass, the turrets and lower parts of bay-windows being covered with the same material. The manufacture of glass had pro­ gressed to such a degree of perfection as to be almost imperceptible to the sight, yet permeable by light, and proof against water and wind. It was so elastic and fine in texture that it could withstand very heavy blows; in fact it would not break, but could be bent or cut, and was made in long sheets and wound on rollers when it was put on the market and sold by the yard like cloth. How shall be described the sur­ roundings of this beautiful palace? The extensive lawns, the great trees, the fountains, the birds, the flowers, the bowers covered with rose vines and vines of all descriptions, the bright-hued silken hammocks swung in lilly beds, the public orchard, drooping under loads of bright-hued fruits where all might come and eat their fill. And oh, the happiness about this central picture! Where shall we find words to paint these glories? These people had other materials with which they builded homes, dainty, cool, unique abodes; and none lived in shanties. They also had a process by which they would color their building material, so that many of the dwellings were of the same ma­ terial but arranged in colors--pink, green, red, blue, yellow, etc.--the pink, green, and white, or clear colors j being the prettiest. Others were made of speckled stone, and looked like a house made of snow-storms. The central palace was the dwell­ ing of the Sage or Guide, who was supposed to be the most intelligent person in that vicinity. We learned that this country was full of just such cities, a Sage or Guide reigning over each and its surrounding fields to a designated point, this Guide having learned all the trades and under­ standing all business done in his vicinity. In this country, only those trades best adapted to each vicinity were allowed, so that the Guides were not obliged to be "Jacks of all trades;" but they must be thoroughly cog­ nizant of all matters pertaining both to manufacture and commerce of their respective territories. Stores were unknown, and these people had no use for a circulating medium such as money. Some of the cities manufactured nothing but silks and ribbons; others laces, tapestry, etc.; others wooden works, such as barrels, wagons, carriages; others, furniture and ail fine wood works; and so through the whole catalogue of industries. This particular city was the seat of all art, music, drawing, painting, sculpture, etc., and its name was Paradise. Bands of gailv-dressed musicians played along the banks of the stream which wound about the city. They gathered in the public orchards at the outskirts of the city, and in the parks or gardens; and here, aiso, songs burst forth from hundreds of well-trained throats, swelling the mighty chorus to one grand tri­ umphant melody. And we rubbed our eyes, fearful that we were dreaming or thinking as all plain and necessary domestic work was well learned; then they were taken to the place where their predominating genius could be culti­ vated. Those fitted for entertaining pur­ poses only, did it freely, and to the best of their ability, for the benefit of those engaged in other pursuits. Grand fete days were set apart for this purpose t>viceaweek, when there was nothing but rejoicing in the whole land, and each went where they pleased and thoughts and pleasures were exchanged. They also had their day of worship and serious thought. Many creeds there were, and no one thought of ridiculing anything so sacred as a re­ ligious belief. Each followed his own inclination without interuption. Each man bore a certificate stating his occupation, and number and names of his family; and as his family increased he had" only to go to the Government department and have the name and date of birth of the new born added to his certificate. This certificate entitled him to go any place in the country, and purchase anything he required or desired. The country was not flooded with cheap and ill-made articles, as they had no use for them; but each had the bestof that which his taste called for. Upon the marriage of a daughter with some"young man of a different precinct than hers, she went with him; the Government was previously notified of the impending marriage. A spot was selected by the prospec­ tive groom, andthe Government im­ mediately began to erect a home. In case the marriage did not take place, the home merely stood in the groom's name until such time as he should see lit to provide it with a mistress. The homes were often increased in size as the family enlarged. Inventors were given full scope, and one precinct was set aside for their special use where they were supplied with any material or contrivance that might aid them in their work. All new inventions were put in the hands of certain juries or committees who examined them thoroughly; and, if found to be a worthy article, the invention was immediately put to manufacture and distributed to the inhabitants for their happiness and convenience. In consequence of these liberties and encouragements there were no prisons nor poor-houses. No one was idlfe, no one worked to death, and all were happy. No one was compelled to work over six hours a day and four days in the week. Following the fourth day came a fete day, when all the populace turned out to be enter­ tained by those engaged in lecturing, sculpturing, painting, the drama, the opera, etc. Following this, came a day of study and reading, when emi­ nent scientists would lecture for those who wished to learn of those things; others would read or wander in the parks; in fact, these were two days of feasting and pleasure, and the sev­ enth day was passed in worshipping God according to the dictates of each heart. There were no drones in this country. The mother, not being obliged to work the life out of her­ self for bread, was able to give birth to a child full of energy and health, The Government had to make no laws to suppress tramps. Now, dear readers, I have seen this country in dreams. Whether it is in this world or the next, who can say ? But of one thing I am certain It does or will exist some day. OF PSWPftTU A L FIRE. Wiasfi aid Inte renting- fsttunt of Terra I>el Voego. ,- ••The most interesting and the strangest people in the world who ever came under my notice are the natives inhabiting the great Island of Terra del Fuego," said Capt. Tcr- renby Jameson^ of the British army when at the Palmer House. The Captain's regiment is stationed at India, but the soldier is away on a three months' furlough. He is re­ turning home from a trip through South America. "The island, which is situated at the southern end of the continent, is called the 'Land of Fire,' because of the fires which the natives neyer permit to go out," continued Capt.! Jduieson. "In every hut or hole in the ground along the coast where the natives live a fire is kept perpetually burning, and on a calm day, when viewed from the ocean, hundreds of streaks of smoke can be seen circling toward the sky. The fires are kept burning, some say, on account of a strange religious be­ lief of the Fuegans, as the natives are called, but the real reason I think is because they have no way of making fire if the blaze becomes extinguished. It is supposed the fire was originally brought from a volcano in the Cordil­ leras centuries ago. "The Fuegans are the most brutal tribe in the world, and are as fierce and savage as tigers. They have no forehead to speak of, their hair grow­ ing down to their eyes. They are large people and 110 other tribe ever ventures too close to their territory. They live like beasts, however, always eating everything raw. Their chief diet is the fish that are washed upon the beach during storms, and fre­ quently they secure the carcass of a whale that becomes stranded on the beach. The bodies of sailors also fur­ nish them with food. Shipwrecks are frequent along the coast there, for some of the most severe hurricanes pass over that part of the country. "The fires the Fuegans keep burn­ ing are only used for warmth. The climate is quite cold, but the natives are thinly clad, the only garment used being a cloak of some kind of skin. This they always wear over the shoulder on the windward side. But even this they will sell for a cheap ornament or a choice piece of food. When I was there I saw a Fuegan woman sell a sailor the cloak off her back for a string of beads, and she walked away in a snowstorm in a nude condition, coptent with her bar­ gain. "I visited the country with a party of miners from the Argentine Re­ public, who were there prospecting under the protection of Government troops. It was necessary to kill fifty or sixty natives in order to protect the prospectors, but the strange peo­ ple could not be subdued. "The island is claimed by both Chili and the Argentine Republic and I suppose it will be necessary some day fqr the latter nation to kill off a few thousand Chilians in order to set­ tle the dispute."--[Chicago Tribune. 1 Postage Stamps. Few people, perhaps, realize of how recent origin is the postage stamp. It was first issued by Great Britain in 1840. Brazil was the first nation to follow the example, which they did in 1843, and in 1847 the United States began the use of postage stamps.N There are now 231 stamp issuing countries. It is estimated now that every year some 50,000,000,- 000 letters are posted in the world. America leads with over 25,000,000,- 000 and England follows with 700,- 000.000. Japan now mails annually 95,000,000, letters and the cancelled stamps on these letters are worth an average of 1 cent each. Last year there were 26,000 letters posted in England without any address on them. In 1,600 of these gold coin and money were inclosed. The can­ celled postage stamps of many coun­ tries are worth quite as much as un­ used specimens, and many are issued solely for collections, the revenue be­ ing an important item. Monaco was the latest to issue stamps; but Stoffa- land, with its "fifty houses and three stores," is probably the most insig­ nificant, even more so than Heligo­ land or the Virgin Islands. Bhopal has the oldest stamp, Nicaragua the finest, Siberia the largest, Zealand the smallest, Guatemala the most striking, and Sarawak and Great Britain divide the honor of liaving the cheapest and meanest* Admired. Frankness. A man stood thoughtfully leaning against a lamp post. A stranger ap­ proached him and after a moment's scrutiny said: "Excuse me for this intrusion upon your apparent medita­ tion, but I wish to ask you a few questions." 1 "Certainly,""said the man, bowing and regarding the fellow with a kindly eye. "I thank you for your considera­ tion," rejoined the fellow, bowing with equal courtesy if not with equal grace, "I wish to ask you if you do not admire that quality which we term frankness?" "Yes, of course I do." "I am delighted to hear you say so, sir. Now," he added after a short pause, "you may think me very peculiar and doubtless I am, but something impels me to be frank with you." "All right, sir, go ahead." "Thank you, I'll do so. Now, just a few moments ago, as I stood over there, regarding you, it struck me that I did not like your looks and debated with myself the question whether or not 1 should tell you. The delicate consideration, the bright hue of reason that sometimes lights up the dark ground of impulse, sug­ gested that I should first discover whether or not you were an admirer of frankness. I am glad that you are, for it gives me the opportunity of telling you without malice that I do not like your appearance. See?" "That's all right," the man quietly replied. "You have a right to ex­ press your opinion." "You are a considerate man," said the fellow. "Now, still believing that you are an admirer of frankness, I should like to tell you that I would not trust you ten minutes." "That's all right," the man re- join*ed. "And furthermore," the fellow con­ tinued. "I feel that you are a pick­ pocket " "A man has a right to express his feelings. You acknowledge that, don't you?" "Assuredly, sir. I have expressed my feelings, and why should not you express yours?" "I should express mine, and shall do so, but before I give you an ex­ pression of those feelings you must promise to treat me with as much consideration as I have treated you "O, I promise that." "All right, here goes," and picking up bis foot with an electric jerk he kicked the fellow into the street. "That is my opinion of you." The fellow rubbed himself for a moment, and then through a horrified grin said: "Look here, I do like frankness, but I don't care to see a man so blamed outspoken."--[Arkan- saw Traveler. It in- am con such of About Coons Catch Rabbit*. I marie a discovery yeste teres ted me very much sore it is not generally Sclent it will be of your readers as hunt coons. week ago we had our first heavy snow, and last Friday it rained hard all day, and at night it was warm and toggy, so» knowing the coons would come out that night and make tracks, 1 concluded to drive over to some good coon grounds and look around by clay. The coons had been out, and ?o had the rabbits. I noticed two different rab- b t tracks that had coon tracks along with them, followed the second, and found where the rabbit had run into a hole and the coon had left A third track made by both rabbit and coon was followed at least a half-mile; it led through a swamp, through a stone wall, across a brook, and through an apple orchard, finally through briers and hazelnut bushes There he "holed." This rabbit was followed by the coon by scent or by seeing th« tracks in the snow, and not by sight, for at least three times the trail ended, turned back for pei haps twenty feet in the same track, then off in another direction. Although it was daytime and the tracks quite plain, it troubled me not a little to straighten it out la the thick brushes and briers. * Had the coo i been chasing the rabbit by sight, he would have been too near for the rabbit to have "doubled" on his track. Soon I came to another one of the tracks, and by following it found where the coon had caught a rabbit un­ der a fallen limb, where the rabbit must have stopped from fright; certainly the coon did not steal upon him, as could be seen by the length of the jumps. The rabbit was carried to some water near by and eaten. I should like to know if any one else has noticed anything like this. I saw six tracks in traveling about four miles, where coons were following rab­ bits, but only one was successful. These tracks were all made in one night, as the next day it came off cold and has been so ever since.--Forest and Stream. Can Plants See? The candid observer must admit that many plants act as if they had the fac­ ulty of seeing. At any rate, they man­ age to find food and support by some special sense, which the unscientific mind cannot name any better than to call it sight Mrs. King describes a very curious in^anco of this habit of looking out for support on the part of a creeping plant in India. "My husband has broached a theory that I cannot remember to have met with before, namely, that creeping plants can see, or at any rate have some faculty equaling sight. He was sitting in the veranda with one foot up against a largo pil ar, near to which grows a kind of convolvulus. Its tendrils were leaning over into the veranda, and to Robert's surprise he presently noticed that they were visibly turning toward his leg. He remained In the same posi­ tion, and in less than an hour the ten­ drils had laid themselves over his leg. "This was in the early morning, and when at breakfast he told me of this discovery we determined to make further experiments. When we went out into the veranda the tendrils had turned their heads back to the railing in dis­ gust. We got a pole and leaned it up against the piliar, quite twelve inches from the nearest sprays of convolvulus. "In ten minutes they had begun to curve themselves in that direction, and acted exactly as you might fancy a very slow snake would do if he wished to reach, anything. The upper tendrils bent down and the side ones curved themselves until they touched the pole, and in a few hours were twisted quite round it. "It was on the side away from the light, and excepting the faculty of sight we can think of no other means by which the tendrils could be aware that the pole had been placed there. They had to turn away from rhe light to reach it. and they set themselves in motion visibly within a few minutes of the pole's being there."--Mechanical News. Delight Fallowed by Torment.

An Open Point. It seems to be a mooted question whether or not a man can be a success­ ful business man and a Christian. There is no reason why a man cannot be both. The trouble lies in the fact that most men make a business of their Christian­ ity. They look upon it as so muclinstock in trade. Christianity doesn't pay when you try to make it pay.
