Some Hindoo merchautn were ehat

one remarked that there was nothing

started with sufficient capital, and then
went on to say that he had done pretty

little. J

When I could read, write and cipher,

that he likes to ajTsicot" foadi to poor
young men who are the son of mer
chants and of pure race. Ask him to
give you a loan. "
I went to the money-changer, but it
was only to hear him reply with disdain
to me, the son of a merchant:
"You see that dead mouse lying there
on the ground? Well, a sharp fellow
might make a fortune with no other start
than that. Now. if I worn fn anA vnn
a round sum I fear that I should have to
wait a long time for the interest. Per
harts vou could not.
1 raised my eyes proudly to the face of
the money-changer : I take the
mouse, said I; "it is a capital that you
lend me." And, after having signed a
receipt, I went my way with the mouse,
while the old usurer laughed heartily at
the sorry figure I cut. Well, I exchang
ed the mouse for two handfuls of peas,
which the storekeeper gave me, as he
wanted it for his cat. I peeled the peas
nicely, and taking a jug of water went
outside of the city and sat down in the
shade on the roadside. Some woodcut
ters came along, very thirsty and tired,
and I politely offered them the fresh
water and peas. Each of them in retnrn
g iye me a few little fagots of wood,
which I took on my back and went and
sold in the market-place. With the
money I got for them I bought more
peas, and the next day did over again
what I had done that day. Thus I
perservered for a long time, until I had
got together a little capital. Then I
bought for three days in succession all
the wood that the men brought in.
Suddenly there came on a heavy rain
season that no one had expected, and
the conveyance of wood became impossi
ble. Then I sold the stock I had at an
advanoe and kept a few cords for myself.
With the proceeds I started a small
shop, managed my affairs discreetly, and
grew rich. Then I had a mouse of gold
manufactured, and sent to the money
changer, Visikala, as a reimbursement of
his loau. He in return gave me his
daughter in marriage, and now I am
known by the name of Mashka, or 'the
Mouse.' So you see I made a fortune
out of a little."

A Surviving Heroine of 1812.
There is an interestinur storv con
nected with Oedar Point, Soitnate Har
bor, Alans. The heroine is Miss Be
beooa Bates, now a bright, genial old
lady of eighty-fonr, whose memory con
tinues remarkably clear. The story,
taken from her own lips, can be depend
ed upon as thoroughly reliable. Her
fattier was uaptain Uimeon Bates; he
was light-keeper at the time, and was
the first who lit the light, in April, 1811.
In the spring of the following year Eng
lish cruisers were numerous in Massa
chusetts Bay, and on one oooasion the
launches of an English frigate were sent
in to Soituate Harbor. They set fire to
vessels at the wharves, and towed out
two, at the same time threatening to de
stroy the town if any resistance was
offered. After this event a home guard
was formed, and detachments stationed
on Oedar and Grow points, and in front
of the village, with a brass piece. When
there was no sail in sight, the guards
were allowed to go off to their farms.
Nothing to oooasion alarm occurred
again until the following September.
Rebecca, at that time eighteen years of
age, and her sister Abigail, fourteen
rears old, and still living, were sitting
toward evening sewing with their mother.
Captain Bates and the reBt of his large
family and the guards were away. Mrs.
Bates told Rebecca it was time to put
on the kettle. As Rebecca went into
the kitchen she for the first time per
ceived an English ship of war close at
hand and lowe. ing her boats. " I knew
the ship at a glance," she said. " It was
the La Hogue. ' O Lord I' says I to my
sisten. ' the old La Hogue is riff here
again I What shall we do ? Here are
their barges coming again, and they'll
burn up our vessels just as they did
afore.' You see there are two vessels at
the wharf, loaded with flour, and we
couldn't afford to lose that in those times,
when the embargo made it so hard to
live we had to bile pumpkins all day to
get sweetening for sugar. There were
the muskets of the guards. I whs a
good mind to take those out beyond the
light-house and fire them at the barges;
I might have killed one or two, but it
would have done no good, for they
would have turned round and fired the
village. 'I'll tell you what we'll do,
daid I to my sister; 'look here, says
I, you take the drum, I'll take the fife.'
I was fond of military musio, and could
play four tunes on the fife. 'Yankee
Doodle ' was my masterpiece. I learned
on the fife which the soldiers had at
the light-house. They had a drum
there, too; so I said to her, ' You take
the drum, and I'll take the fife.' ' What
good'll that do?" says she. 'Soare
thorn,' says I. ' AU you've got to do is
to call the roll, I'll scream the fife, and
we must keep out of sight; if they see
us, they'll laugh us to scorn.' I showed
her how to handle the sticks, and we
ran down behind the cedar wood. So
we put in, as the boys say, and pretty
soon l loosed, ana L could see the men
in the barges resting on .their oars and
listening. When I looked again I saw a
nag Hying from the mast-head of the ship,
My sister began to make a speech, and I
said, ' Don't make a noise. You make
me laugh and I can't pucker my mouth'
When I. looked again I saw they had
seen the flag, and they turned about so
quick a man fell overboard, and they
picked him up by the back of his neck
and hauled him in. When they were off.
I played ' Yankee Doodle.' " Is not this
heroine, who saved two ships laden
with flour, and perhaps other valuables,
from destruction, entitled to a pension ?
She has five brothers and sisters still
living, the eldest eighty-five, and young
est seventy-one. Her grandfather was
one hundred years and one month old
at the time of his death. &'. O. W.

The Earth Not a True Globe.
Our planet is not a true globe, be
cause of its former plastic condition
before the formation and cooling of the
surface. When the globe was soft it
was more or less yielding, and then the
rotation of the earth to which I have re
ferred tended to drive off, as it were,
the matter in the equatorial regions ;
so that the distance through the center
of the earth between the two surfaces as
far as possible removed from the poles
of rotation, or those parts of the earth
which the imaginary axis comes through,
is rather greater than the distance be
tween the two points where the axis
come3 to the surface. The reason of
that fact, and that it must have been so,
has been beautifully established by
several xperiments. That the earth
was once hotter than it is now is there
fore proved, both by the irregularities
of its surface, and by its shape as a
whole. We must not imagine, how
ever, mar, mere naa Deen but one
change. The minor irregularities are
au gradually cnanging by inner en
ergies and the action of air and water.
and it may be that even the largest
ones are young, compared with the age
of the planet 8 surface. Nor does the
change end here ; the equatorial pro
tuberance itself may but after all mark
a point in a great cycle of change, which
has compelled the earth to rotate now
about one axis aud now about another,
Mathematicians consider it highly
pro Da Die mat tne axis of tne eartn may
nave been in anoient times very diner'
ently situated to what it is at present,
and, indeed, that " it mignt nave grad
ually shifted through 10, 20, 30, .40, or
more degrees, without at any time any
perceptible sudden disturbance of either
land or water." Thus it appears that
nature prevents catastrophes by the
very hugeness of the scale on which she
works. Norman Lockyear in Good

Never Saw One of Them.
Two gentlemen from New York, one
of whom had been in California nearly
a year, and the other lust arrived, were
accidentally overheard in the following
conversation at the Butter House, Bao-
ramento. The new comer was lament
ing his condition, when he asked the
other if he had a family.
" xes, sir, i nave a wite and six
children in New York, and never saw
one of them.
After this, the couple set a few mo
ments in silenoe, and then the interro
gator again commenced :
" Were you ever blind air ?"
"No, sir."
Another lapse of time.
" Did I understand yon to Bay, air,
that yon had a wife and six children
living in New York and had never seen
one of them V
" Yes, air ; I so stated it"
Another and a long pause of silenoe.
Then the interrogator inquired :
" How can it be, bit, that yoa never
saw one of them V
MWov."waa the response, "one of
them was born after I left."
" O. ah 1" and a general laugh fol

After that the first New Yorker was

The Warrior Wasp.
It is curious that in the Isle of France
the common bee is not to be found as a
native of the woods, while, in the Isle of
Brougham, it is common, and furnishes
an abundance of wax and honey ' This
is explained by supposing that the war
riors about whom we are about to speak
destroy the bees, and have thus pre
vented their multiplying in the island
in question. Truly, like the banditti of
whom we read in books, these wasps are
splendidly attired, altho igh not on the
spoils of those whom they have robbed.
Their head, chest and body is of a re
splendant luster; now green, or, seen in
another position, blue, and glistening
with all the luster of an exquisite var
nish. Their autonnre are black, their
eyes of a brownish yellow, and their
legs partly bronze colored and partly of
a beautiful violet. They are strong and
swift of wing, and are possessed of a
terrible lance, the thrusts of which even
men cannot endure without far more
pain and inflammation than attends an
ordinary sting. The foe with whom
these magnificently-dressed warriors
have to contend is a kind of insect allied
to the cockroach, wh'ch in our kitchens
has acquired the incorrect title of "black
beetle." This insect is detested by the
inhabitants of the island, for its ravages
upon almost everything of value or deli
cacy, and is not less hated by the sailors
for its destructiveness on shipboard. It
is called Kakerlao, and is much larger
than cockroaches, which are the plague
and terror of our cooks. Imagine that
one of these great, old, odious insects is
creeping along the highway. The war
rior wasp has also been making his ex
seditions for prev abroad, when sudden
ly his eager eye catches sight of the
kakerlao hastening to home new scene of
depredation. The warrior instantly
alights, and the kakerlao stops, think'
ing, perhaps, to intimidata its adversary
by its size and iei jcious aspect.
uotli insects glance at each other,
The wasp is the first to attack, and
darts upon he other, seizing it by
the muzzle with its strong jaws, then
bending its body so as to bring its tail
under the abdomen of the kakerlac. The
lance, with its charge of poison, is deep-
plunged into the body ef the unhappy
foe, imbuing a deadly venom into its
system. Having made his thrust, the
warrior loosens the foe and soars in tri
umph a little way into the air, satisfied
of a successful issue. The kakerlao,
after a few brief convulsions, lies paral
lzed on tne ground, unable to stir a
step from the spot where it encountered
its adversary. Fully aware of this, the
vicious wasp, after taking a few turns,
as if to proclaim the downfall of the
giant kakerlao to the surrounding neigh
borhood, returns to the scene where the
conflict was fought. The kakerlao.
unable to resist the victor, and being
naturally, though a great devourer, a
very faint-hearted creature, lies immov
able, while the wasp seizes the prostrate
foe by the head, and. in a sort of tra
umphal march, drags it along the road
to its nest.
Origin of Certain Flowers.
Some of our flowers came from lands
of perpetual summer, some from conn-
tries all ice and snow, seme from islands
in the ocean. Three of our sweetest
exotics came originally from Peru; the
cameiia was carried to England in 1739.
and a few years afterward the heliotrope
ana mignonette. Several others came
from the Cape of Good Hope; a very
large caua was lound in cutanea there,
ana some or tne most Drmiant geran
iums, or pelargoniums, which are i
spurious geranium. The verbena grows
wild in Brazil, the marigold is an Afri
can flower, and a great number are from
Ohina and Japan. The little Daphne
was carried to England by Captain Ross,
from almost the farthest land he visited
toward the North Pole.
Some of these plants are quite
changed in form by cultivation, others

fall far short of the beauty and fragrance
of tke tropics. Among improved ones
is the dahlia. When brought to Europe
it was a very simple blossom, a single
circle of dark petals surrounding a mass
of yellow ones. Others, with scarlet
and orange petals were Boon after trans
planted from Mexico, but still remained
simple flowers. Long years of cultiva
tion in rich soil, with other arts of skill
ful florists, have changed it to what it
now is a round ball of beauty.
A Billion.
There are two systems of notations
The French, which advances by periods
oi three figures, and which is generally
used in this country, and the English
system, used only by Great Britain
and htr dependencies, which proceeds
oy periods of six figures. The Amen
can and the Englishman write a million
in the name way, namely a 1 with six
cyphers following it. Add three cyphers
and the Englishman calls it a thousand
millions; the American says that it is a
Pinion. The iiiugnshman says that
bilbon means a million million. The
row of figures means the same always,
there is only a difference in the
nomenclature. France, for instance, paid
uermany nve miliar lb, much to Bis
mark's astonishment and regret that he
had not made the sum larger. So there
you have three different names for the
same row of figures. As written. 1.000.
000,000 means always the same thing,
and nearly approaches the circulation
of the Jiagle, but 1 ranee calls it a mil
lard. England says it is a thousand
millions, and America names it a billion.
It is entirely a matter of choice; but
when English newspapers speaks ef
billions Americans should remember
that they refer to millions of millions,
or a row of figures with twelve cyphers,
like this: 1,000,000,000,000. Brooklyn

temperature. This latter is a most fre
quent cause of the piano getting out of
tune, and the instrument should be kept
in a temperature not lower than fifty-
four degrees and not higher than eighty-
six degrees Farhenheit. When too cold
the wood, cloth and skin swell, and the
mechanism works badly; when too warm
these materials shrink and cause clink

room, or between two windows, or be

there is a through draught. Never leave
the piano open when not in use, and
above all when the room is being

A Costly China Service.
An English paper says : A Mr.
Clark died ' recently in Australia,
leaving to his son a fortune of
thirty-five millions of dollars. The
young man must have a certain amount
of taste, at least for the fitness of dinner
things, as one of his first expenditures
was the ordering a complete service of
ohina, such as would bring the smile of
commendation from Mr. Wm. O. Prime
aud other ceramickers. Young Clark's
first direction was that in execution and
design it should be the best ever made
in England. The result is: First, a
dinner service, the ground being bleu
de rol of so gorgeous a tint that, on
contrasting it with Sevres blue, the
difference was imperceptible; the deco
ration of this service is of rich gold,
over old Vienna. Secondly, a dessert
service of pale French turquoise, re
lieved by festoons of gold oak leaves and
acorns; in the center of each plate is a
landscape exquisitely painted, while the
pieces intended for fruit, etc, are sup
ported by Cupids, and correspond with
the rest of a most delicate service.
Thirdly, a breakfast service, also of a
pale turquoise ground, decorated with
silver and gold leafage and Japanese
birds. Fourthly, a tea and coffee sev
vice; the oups of the latter resemble a
tnerveille old Sevres, and the tea service
is so rich, with its deep azure tint and
superb miniatures, that when the entire
set was exhibited to Her Majesty, she
at onoe commanded a duplicate of it.
This remarkable service, the most beau
tiful of modern porcelain, cost Mr.
Clark thirty-five thousand dollars.

Gee. F. Rowell dc Co'e Newspaper Advertis
ing Bareaa, New York.
THE OBJECT OF ODB ESTABLISHKKWT.
Our Newspaper Advertising Bureau. No. 10
Spruce street, New York, is an establishment
intended to facilitate the convenient and sys
tematic placing of advertisements in news
papers. It is conducted upon the principles
which we conceive to be the right ones for se
curing the best results to the advertiser, the
publisher, and ourselves.
We undertake to represent American news
papers, not only the newspapers of the city of
New Y- rk and of all other American cities, re
ligious, agricultural and other claBS news
papers, but also the small oouutry journal.
We receive regularly and keep on file the news
papers of every description throughout the
land, whether issued daily, weekly or monthly.
CONFINED STRICTLY TO NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
AND TO AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.
We confine our transactions to newspapers
and do not accept or undertake the manage
ment of other classes of advertising, such as
books, sign ooaras, posters, or jod printing.
It is our hope that by adherinn toone branch
of advertising we may make ourselves masters
or it.
We also restrict onr dealings to newspapers
published within the geographical limits of
the United States and Dominion of Canada.
TEE BYBTEU OF ARRANGEMENT FOE NEWSPAPER
FILES.
We have a system of filing newspapers by an
arrangement of shelving and partitions, sepa
rate space being accorded to each, and Iabled
with the printed name of the paper it is hi'
tended to accomodate, by means of which
arrangement a stranger can find any paper he
wisheB to examine witn something like the
readiness with which he would a word in a
dictionary, a name in a directory, or a book in
a library catalogue.
THE NATURE OF THE SERVICE WHICH IT IS OCR
BUSINESS TO BENDER TO THE ADVERTISER.
We undertake to maintain an es'ablish6d
oredit with every newspaper, and to have at
hand a schedule of the charges adopted by the
publisher of each for advertis ng spaoe id itx
columns s to be able to quote those rates to an
advertiser who wishes to insert an advertise
ment in one or several, and to procure the
prompt insertion of the advertisement without
any extra cnarge ror tne service rendered,
wuicn service consists or quoting tne pno
printing or writiug as many duplicates of the
advertisement as may be required to furniuli
one to each paper to be nsed, forwarding the
copy for insertion at our own expense for pos
tage or messenger sevioe, examining the papers
to see that the advertisement appears when
an1 in a manner that it ought to, checking each
subsequent issue of the advertiement in each
paper in a book kept for that purpose, at all
timeB subject to the inspection of the adver
tiser, ana marking plainly in e acn paper
the advertisement as it appears, so that when
the advertiser comes (or sends) for the purpose
of having the files examined (to see that the
service for which his money pays has been
actually rendered), the eye mty lieht promptly
upon hiB announcement, without the labor of
searcmng a wnoie paper or page.
If errors or omisBions occur, it is our amy
to notify publishers, at our own expense for
labor, postage or messenger, and to see to it
that the publisher of the paper actually does
the specified service for which the advertiser
contracted.
THE AMOUNT OF MONET TO BE EXPENDED,
Persons who have had little experience as
advertisers often have a pretty clear under
standing of what they would like to do, but are
entir-1- ignorant or tne pronauie cost
We have made out for such a person a plan
of advertising calling for an investment of
Co.UOl). and on submitting it tor approval
found onr customer dismayed at the magnitude
of the expense, he not having ontemplated
an expenditure exceeding ft'200 or 300. In
such a case laber would have been saved, if at
the commencement of the negotiation the
question had been asked : " How much money
are yon prepared to oevote to mis aaver-
Using ?" .
THE CONFIDENCE OF OUR PATRONS A MATTER OF
PRIME IMPORTANCE.
It is a matter of prime importance to us. for
the Dnrnose of maintaining our influence with
publishers, that it shall oome to be understood
among them that our statements about the
advertising to be done, or not to be done, are
to be relied upon ; and to this end our dealing
with our advertising patrons mnst be upou
a basis or mutual oounaence ana respect.
OUR CUSTOMERS ENTITLED TO OCR BEST
SERVICES.
Whenever we are doing the advertising for
any individual or nrm, we consider mem en
titled to our best service!. If they suggest using
a paper wmcn we Know to be not tne De.-i ror
tne purpose, we aav so and give tne reasons.
we otten exDend a eood deal or urae ror verv
small advertisers, much more than the profits
on their patronage would warrant ; but as they
entrust to as what they have to disburse, and
influence in our direction the patronage of
their friends and acquaintances, we are con
tent.
OUR PROMISE.
We promise those advertisers who entrust
their advertising patrenage to our management
that we will not allow them to be charged in
any instance any more than the publishers' sche
dule rates; that we will procure for them the
acceptance of any advantageous offer made to
tnem definitely oj any newspaper puunsuor,
advertiainar asenL or canvasser, of responsi
bilitv. Although we are unwilling to do work
without a profit, and sever offer to do so, yet
la conrormity witn tne promise umh uto,
we anmatimea find it advisable. Competitors.
anxious to gain a hearing and secure attention,
oooasionallv make offers whioh it would ad
vance the true interests of our enstomers to
accept. In such eases we hold ourselves bound
to secure the bargain offered.

Starvation In Labrador.
A Labrador correspondent of the
Journal d9 Quebec gives a heartrend
ing account of the condition of the people
along the Labrador"ooaat. The fisher
ies failed them last fall and the
traders who give them provisions in
barter for their fish and oil abandoned
lb A Writer nnl n Ut tlm
the territory, not caring to let the
wretched people have goods on credit.
Thus before winter set in the whole
population was left to starve or subsist
nntil summer on fish offal, for crops
are impossible on that sterile shore.
Whole families have lived through the
winter on rotten, half-frozen carcasses
of seals driven ashore by the ice-flees.
Others have kept body and soul to
gether by devouring the nauseous flesh
of the black loup marin, a species of
seal whioh in prosperous times would
be shunned even by the dogs. Many
deaths have ocourred from sneer star
vation. Of five families containing
forty souls, in one settlement, only five
survive. Scurvy is epidemic. The
women haunt the shore like spectres
picking np the dead seal, while the men
ana boys eatber sc-a moss or sueii nan.
The correspondent says : " I know
several families who have eaten not
only the salted seal flesh put away for
tne winter provender of their dogs, but
even the dogs themselves. Those who
happened to have a stock of provisions
have been compelled to go on short
rations and shure with their gauut
neighbors. The people have been cut
off from the outside world since Sep
tember. When they found death starinir
them in the face it was too late to make
their wants known, for navigation had
closed and they were 2UU leagues dis
tant from Quebec without any means of
overland communication in winter.
The lieutenant-governor of Quebec, in
answer to this appeal, Has ordered a
quantity of provisions to be sent to th
coast, and clothing, medicine, etc., will
follow immediately.

t arroanK s standard scales are extensively ad
vertised. Does it necessarily follow that they
are inferior in make, and less accurate than

it is dear at any price. This is true of the
large packs of condition powder now sold.
Buy Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders and
you can't make a mistake. The large packs
