The fact is <that a great part of it has become proverbial, and BO common property. We no longer have to read the play to imbibe a lot of its philosophy, for it is floating in the air about us. On the other hand, some sayings un­ doubtedly have a populax origin. A splendid example of the evolution of one occurs in the Old Testament, in the history of Saul. Wben the future first King of Israel appeared among the prophets the people were as km ished. tie Had been of a rather friv­ olous disposition. Some man in the crowd exclaimed; "Is Saul also aaiuug the prophets?" The expres-. sion caught on, and it has been a famOiar sayitij* ever since. We have among ourselves a very good tix&iuyie of the same sort in the expression: "A good enough Mor­ gan till after election." A difficulty here meets us. How Is it that among Eastern illiterate nations proverbs of the most perfect form and literacy finish arv found? The same state of affairs occurs in Spain. Tito explanation! lies in the fact tteat in both cjises the people are able to get at literature vicariously. In Persia and the East generally the profession ail story telier comes t© a village. In the *eveodng the inhabi- sit ruutiu the tent, and he tells tberu tales, many of them thousands ©f years old, .and of the condensed TrSEfacm at ages.

Tonv Weller was the proverb-spin- fier of the Pickwick crowd. He got is faculty in the very same way that ithc Spanish muleteer and the Persian #tory teller got theirs. He met a threat iyany people in his trips on the. Coach, and his sayings got sharpness and clearness of outline with every fresh repetition. .No doubt?many of them were retailed by countless ap­ preciative hearers. In the same way, the Jarvcy in the South of Ireland is by nature a manu­ facturer of proverbs.

Two -antelopes, a buck and a doc, stood near the road. Wheu within 200 yands of them I handed the lines to Mrs. S., hopped out of the buggy and took a hasty shot at the buck. I failed to score, and the pair sailed away over the prairie. They ran to the top of the ridge and stopped. The distance was great, butaccidents are always liable to happen in this glorious climate of New Mexico. I estimated the distance at 300 yards, turned the Lyman sight up until it showed the proper number of points, knelt down, took a careful aim at the buck--holding well up to allow for any possible underating of distance-- and when the smoke cleared away the buck was down and kicking. ! "Oh George," screamed my wife, "you've killed the poor thing." And then sbe wept just as any other ten­ der-hearted, sympathetic woman would have done, and as I felt in­ clined to do myself. I stepped the distance to the buck and ifcwas a good honest 379 yards. The bullet severed his spine. I would never have told of the shot had I not had a witness to it, and one whose word no one who knows her would ever doubt By the way, why don't some of you sportsmen come here and take up homesteads and go to farming and growing fruit?

It Is true the proportion of injured is much greater, but still, in 1890, only one passenger in 1,648,677 was^hurt in a railway ac­ cident, Railway travelers can afford to take, that risk. It is a risk greatly reouced in recent years. In 1847 the injured were one in 300,000, and it was not until 1883 that the chances of injury were so far diminished that only one in 1,000,000 passengers was hurt. In 1889 there was a drop to one in 750,000. This was due to the terrible accident at Armagh, where 262 were injured, besides eighty killed; and now, as ab<5ve stated, the proportion is not as much as one In 1,500,000. The extension of the block system, and the use of the" au­ tomatic continuous brake, have Rreayyjpinipiized the Mrs. Vrnntty. , The expression "What will Mrs. Grundy say?" is frequently employed, and most of us have a desire to know something about her. Reference is generally made to her in connection with some possible violation of prop­ erties. She is supposed to be in­ vested with sufficient awe to make one debate a non-conventional prank. Well, the good lady was as much of a myth as Junius. She was simply a creature of the imagination like the three othef worthies known to us as Mrs. Prig, Mrs. Harris and Mrs. SairyGama Mrs. Grundy first came into notoriety in a comedy entitled, "Speed the Plough," which was writ­ ten by Morton, and which still4'holds the stagehand as it is called, together with "Town and Country," "School for Reform," and "Way to Get Mar­ ried," others of his stock plays In the play occurred a constant repititioo-of the expressions, "What will Mrs. Grundy say?" "What will Mrs. Grundy think?" efce. Thev caught the ear and were introduced into commoa conversation, and have survived more than one hundred years. The interrogatory reference to her was subsequently harped upon by such me®-of promience as Dr. Irving, one. of the historians of Scottish poetry, and Lord Coleridge, When he was So­ licitor-General of England. He spoke of her in an address made before the Philosophical Society of Edinburg, and also penned the following quatrain* » -raey eat. th-y drink, they -'rfr ttiffy arini Th»*y B'i to church on i-uudayj ' * And many are afraid of God • But more of Mrs. Grundy." , . Getting the suggestion from this quatrain, "Notes and Queries" per­ petuated the old lady by this more pointed fling at 'the carousing, do- nothing young sports of that pictur­ esque old town: 'They eat, they drink, they anrakettbey sleep iuey lie in bed on him day; At night tbey hneak to a shebeen, Defying Mrs. Grundy." It is not remarkable that Mrs. Grundy attained distinction when such notice was taken of her by a play-writer, a historian, a chief jus­ tice and an editor. For the benefit of those who may never have seen or read the play, it may be stated that Dame Ashfleld. one of the characters, is constantly twitting her husband, Farmer Ashfleld, another of the char­ acters, by frequent reference to Mrs. Grundy, who stood very high in the estimation of the good dame. Finally Farmer Ashfleld strikes the table a vexed blow, and turns upon her with: "Be quiet, wool ye? Always ding-dinging Dame Grundy into my ears. What will Mrs. Grundy say? What will Mrs. Grundy thinkf Canst thee be quiet, let ur alone, and behave thysef pratty?"--Free ~ SAD IHMN TIWML Ideas MANMCRMMT OF SAVAA^A, ; Capt. Thomas Byrne, or "Old Tommy," as he was affectionately called by all his associates, had at one time charge of the Ilualpais, a tribe of Indians settled in Xorthwestern Arizona. Old Tommy, perhaps from his 4sdeludherin' tongue," had anal- most miraculous ascendency over the chiefs and head men of this tribe, and, though his native eloquence was seconded only by the scantiest allow­ ances of rations from the subsistence stores of the camp, he was loved and trusted by these childlike allies. To hear him coaxing back a sulky war­ rior to good humor was something to be long remembered. "Come, now," he has been heard to say, "shure. phat is de matter widye? Have yes iver axed me for anythin' that Oi didn't promise it to yez?" YET TOMMY S PROMISES 7,'TRC ALWAYS kept. Suddenly one da? the Hualpais, like a flash of lightning out of a clear sky, went on the warpath and fired on thb agency buildings before leaving for their old stronghold in the Canon of the Colorado. No one knew the cause of their sudden treachery, and Tommy Byrne was one of those who realized how much it would cost Uncle Sam in blood and treasure if the outbreak were not stopped at once. • Without waiting for his spirited little horse to be saddled he threw himself across its back and swept out into the hills after the fugitives. When the Hualpais saw the cloud of dust coming they blazed Jnto it, but Tommy was untouched, and dashed gallantly up, his horse white with foam, to the knot of chiefs who stood awaiting him. At first the Indians were sullen, but they soon melted enough to tell the story of their grievances. The new agent had been robbing them in the uH«i/ oa re raced manner, and in their ignorance they imagined it to be Capt. Byrne's duty to regulate all the affairs in his camp. They did not vm«t to hurt him and would lit him go safely back, but for them tliere was nothing but the warpath. "Come back with rae,"said Tommy gently.wlii see that yod are righted."" ~ Back they went, following that one ^inarmed man. Straight to the beef- scales proceeded the officer, and in a few miaofces he bad detected the manner in which false weight had been sectored by tampering with the poise. A Texas steer, which would not weigh more than 800 pounds, stood at 1,700, and of course other articles followed in the same ratio. Tommy seized upon the agency and took charge; the Hualpais were per­ fectly satisfied, and the agent left that night for California. Thus was a bitter war averted by the prompt action of a plain, unlettered man, who had no ideas about managing savages beyond that of treating them with kindness and justice. Tlrt.condition* surrounding child-life I in Alaska are shocking. No parents hesitate to sell their children for im- ' moral purposes to any one who will pay them, the price being about $80. The moet horrible practice, however, is the marriage of young childr. n to the very old. Speaking on this subject;" Shefdon Jackson, Coaiiuissioner of Education, gives the following instance: "I have known a boy of 16 to become in, this way the husband of an old wom­ an, gray-haired, blind and so crippled that ciie could only crawl about the floor. The boy had been taken as a prospective husband when a little child, and his duties as the heal of the family began at once when the old man became helpless. Many boys are forced thus into the most hateful relations, being called upon to take the place of father to a family left by an old man. In the course of time the young man takes a future wife in a similar fashion to as­ sist the old one. Child girls are continu­ ally forced into these situations, often becoming mothers at 12 or 13 years of age. As soon as an Alaskan woman has given birth to a ehild she hunts up a friend who has a baby of the opposite sex, and the two are betrothed. When the age of 13 or 14 is reached the chil­ dren begin to live together without further formality. Among some Alas­ kans orphan children become the prop­ erty of the mother's family, being thus, in fact, made slaves. No laws what­ ever exist in Alaska for the protection of children. «» the Way to FankltM.

There is one great word which means the Jink that binds man to his felWw-man, and that word is charity. We should look„at it not as soiuething to be thought lightly of, but as tbegone great teaching of the Son <*od. If we look at it only as an occasional thteig, and as sometiaieg to be prac­ ticed when it requires no self-denial, or hardship, we are far from coaipre- heading the true meaning of the word--we are still further from com­ prehending the life of Christ Look ttpoa it as a rich privilege if you can do something for God's poor, if you can elevate poor fallen * humanity. Let us not choose one particular moment to practice this virtue, but let us live in such relations with our feltow-men, that each and every ac­ tion of ours wilt be freighted with the sweet odor of charity. We must not wait for the afflicted and distressed to ask our help, but we must tread in the blessed footsteps of the Good Sa­ maritan, and search the alleys and the by-ways to And those wtyo need our consoling words. It is only when we begin to act thus that the true meaning of this word dawns upon our minds, and the* practice of this virtue will make our lives become more and more like unto the life of our Di vine Teacher and Model. What Mining Ha* Dana. In 184ft, in our countn-, the Mis­ souri River was the border land of civilization; 1,500 miles of trackless deserts and unexplored mountain ranges, infested with wild leasts and wilder savages, lay between the Western <verge of civilization and the new Eldorado oh the Pacific coast.- But no such barrier could stay the tide of hardy adventurers that swarmed across the continent in great caravans of brave, determined men and heroic women. Through infinite labor and privatiou they reached the promised land. The tide of immigration spread ^11 o\er the mountain ranges and valleys of the West, and in forty years has pro­ duced more than $2,000,000 in gold and silver, actual money, created and added to our country's resources. But this grand output of the precious metals is oot the only wonderful re­ sult obtaiaed. It enabled our people txrexplore and settle a vast country, more than half as large as Europe; it has given eight new States to the Union and three grand Territories unrivaled in their resources of min­ eral wealth and variety of soil and climate by any other country of like size on the globe.

Then it occurred to him that his host was waiting for him to say something. Ah--Mr. Carlyle--" he began, fal- teringly, "what a fine old neighbor­ hood--ah--Chelsea is--" "Don't interrupt me!" thundered Carlyle, looking up angrily.

The saite bush, which is the only liv­ ing thing in the country whose growth is not stunted, grows to an enormous height in a single day. and dies in just thirty-six hours. It is nourished by the alkali springs which flow beneatb the surface of the ground, and is fed so abnormally that it dies in an in. comparably short time. The natives in that district have got the thing down so fine that they can tell by looking at a piece of sage bush just what time of the day it is, so if yon pull a watch on them they'll know you are a tenderfoot. "Why, how can they tell the time by looking at the sage?" "Well, you see, they know that the sage lives but thirty-six hours, and they are so accustomed to it that they j ' can tell to a minute just how far growth has-advanced." "Yes, but they don't know what time of day or night the sage began to grow, so how can they estimate the time?" "Oh, they tell that by the number of branches, and the branches never sprq£t till ^sundown, and then one sprout every six hours." Infinite Car*.
