The Colors of Water.

uo color?"
Yes, dear cfciM, it is bloe, bot o lit

" Can rou ee ILit it ia blue T
No, but fctill it is blue. Look t
tiiis."
I took little nltramariB on the
eod of the brush, and mixed it with

- Does it look blue now V
'So; I eee nothing."
" Sot L Bat yoa saw how I pet a lit
tle bloe color in it with the brush."
" Yes, but there was not enocgh of it
Put more in."
I silently took the glass and set it on a
piece of white paper in the bright sun
shine.
" Sow look from above down into it.'
"It is bloe," said the Hale one, clap
ping her hands, but only a very little.
Look at it from the other side, where
the sun is shining into it. Is it not a lit
tle red, like the bell Sowers which too
picked yesterday 7"
That is wonderful," said the little
one. It is bine from above, a little bit
red in the son, and when we look at it
from this side of the room we eee noth
ing!" - Thick about it a little. The glass is
as broad as tny cger is long. Bat it is
at least three time as high as my finger.
When you look at it from the side, yon
see only a finger's length of water ; but
when yon look down into it yon see
through three fingers' length of water
three times as much. You see it bine
from the side, and three times as blue
from above, don't you?"
"Is that really true?" said the little
one, as she measured with ber finger.
She nodded that she was satisfied.
"Sow imagine that the water is an
deep as the height of the chnrrh steeple,
and deeper that it reaches from here up
into Salvan and down to Yernayaz.
Then yoa would see the water from
above it all blue."
" Is the lake, then, really so Jeep?"
" Yes, and deeper."
I will not continue tlie conversation
any longer. It went on with various siin

its weakly bluish contents on differently
colored paj-ers, and ended with my try

the colors changed hen they were seen
through the whole depth of the glass. I
will not say that the little ones were
brought to a full comprehension of the
oatter, but they stuck last to the asser
tion that water is bloe, of an infinitely
weak blue, and that the blue color can
not be seen till cne looks into a certain

Mark Twain's Scoop.

VThen he got his first position as a sub
editor on a California paper his cronies

"Distressing Accident Last evening
about 6 o'clock as William Schuyler, an
old and respected citizen of South Park,

many years, w ith the exception of only
a short interval in the spring of lSoO, da

injuries received in attempting to stop a
runaway horse by thoughtlessly placing
himself in its way and throwing up his
hands and shouting, which, if he had
done so even a single moment sooner,
mu.t inevitably have frightened the ani
mal still more instead of checking its
B(ed, although disastrous enough to
himself as it was, and rendered mire
melancholy and distressing by reason of
the presence of his wife's mother, who
was there and saw the sad occurrence,
notwithstanding it is at least likely,
though not necessarily so, that she could
be reconnoitering in another direction
when accidents occur, not being vivacious
and on the lookout, as a general thing,
but even the reverse, as her own mother

incandescent lamps, the wires to which,
as well as a short pipe from the camera,
are carried in an outwde casing tube.
Simple pressure on a pneumatic ball

that be did not care to draw s salary for
doing nothing. There ia not another
instance of this kind of conscientiousness,
in the latter years of pie eating in Texas.
But while he was Commissioner Colonel
Britton went out to Abilene. The time
was the flush period of the cattlemen.
Millionaire were thick. At one of the
"Exchanges" of Abilene Colonel Britton
was a witness to a controversy between
two of the new millionaires. These
cattle borons bad just returned from their
first tripe to Sew Y'ork, where they had
gone to get rid of some of the cumber
some profits and to have a royal time.
"Jim," said Jake, "that's a pretty fine
watch you've got there."
"Yes." replied Jim; "I got the ticker
of a fellow in New York. I reckon it's
the finest in Abilene." "
"Well," continued Jake, drawing one
from his pocket, "here's a better one."
"Reckon not," said Jim. "What'd
yours cost?"
"Paid f325 for her," said Jake. "What'd
yon give for yours?"
"Cost me J-iV)," answered Jim with a
triumphant grin.
Jake was blue over the discovery that
he didn't own the costliest watch in Ab
ilene. He stood, holding the now des
pised chronometer in his hand and look

throw mine further than you can yours.
Everybody laughed and looked at Jim.
The hitter was not to be bluffed. uick
as a flash he replied : "III just go yon
one on that"
The crowd went out into the rocky
street. A scratch was drawn.' It was
8gieed that the man who threw his
watch furthest should have what was
left of both watches. They threw, and
the fellow who won led the way back in
to the Exchange and set np the drinks.

Bitton, concluding the narrative, " I was

Doctors and Diseases.
Implicit tilth in the professional opin
ions of medical men sometimes causes
the believers a world of unnecessary
miaprr.
Din&i of the heart is a fashionable
complaint with the proftsfcicn. Yet it
is alwavsdiScultand sometimes utter
ly impossible to distinguish between af
fections of the heart and certain forms
of dvspepsia ; and hence the canning
qaack doctors who advertise nostrums
for indigestion, tell the pnbue that dys
pepsia (unless happily cured by aa early
resort to their infallible elixirs) ttsualiy
culminates in some terrible disease of
"the great organ of life."
If any of onr readers, who suffer
from violent palpitations, sudden at
tacks of faintness, shooting pains in the
left breast, and occasional shortness of
breath, should be informed by their
physicians that the valves of the great
blood-pump of the system don't open
and shut properly, or that it is otherwise
in a damaged condition, we recommend
them to receive the information with
equanimity. It may be true, but it is
jost as likely to be incorrect, and it is as
well in such cases to give one's-aelf the
benefit of the doubt.
People sometimes die of the doctor ; in
other words, are frightened to death by
his diet am. Remembering the tales
which some eminent medicos have told
out of school, it becomes us to think
twice before we pin our faith on any
practitioner's sleeve. A well-known
physician of this city, finding himself
rather "out of sorts," determined to
consult some of his medical brethren on
the subject for few physicians like to
trust themselves with themselves. He
accordingly called upon five eminent
members of the faculty in succession,
and it is a positive fact that each one ef
them gave a different opinion as to the
nature of his disorder, and recommended
a different mode of treatment. It is his
own belief that they were all wrong, and
it is quite certain that only one out of
the five could be right.
With such facts before t, there is
room for hope even when tlie disciples
of (ialen shake their heads ominously.

innocent-looking, sandy-haired clerk
with a stub pencil over his ear.
" Is there butter in this jar V she ask

"Yes, madam," affirmed the clerk.
"I thought so," she said. "I can tell a
butter jar instinctively."
"Yee'oi," the clerk acquiesced.
"Is it sweet V
"Yes'm."
"Where is it from? Western Re

"No?" and her feathers dropped a lit

"Yes'm."
She smiled with satisfaction.
" 1 thought it must be," she confessed.
Tisn't fresh, of course ; butter never is
when it is put np in jars."
"No'ui," admitted the clerk. " It was
made hut fall."
"(ioodneas me l" she exclaimed. "All
that time and you say it is sweet yet ?"
"Yes'm, we guarantee it."
"Tisn't worth quite as much as if it
was fresh, is it ?" she asked with a boarding-bouse
accent.
"No'm."
"What is the price of it?"
"A dollar a gallon, ma'am."
She jumped as if a mouse had bitten
her.
"A dollar a gallon!" she exclaimed.
"I never heard of selling butter bv the
gallon."
'We alw j s tell that kind of butter b

guileless gravity.
"What kind of butter is it?" she asked
in a less confident tone.

Upon the mountain side a light flick

AnboaraAer the latest arrivals had
made their appearance Jim had not
come.
Wonder gave place to alarm then and
a committee of three was appointed to
go to Jim's cabin and investigate.
The light from the window streamed
down the path sod the visitors found no
difficulty in reaching tlie cabin though
the night was dark.
In response to their. knock they were
invited to enter, and within they found
Dandy Jim seated in the corner in the
deepest dejection.

cheerily, "why aint yer at the shindig?"
"Can't boys. I can't come," and Jim's

Mr. Carnegie At Homestead.
From the X. V. Sun (Dem .
Mr. Andrew Camecie a idea on the subiwt
of dealing with strikers are original and in
some aegree scienuiic. We read in an edi
torial essav in the H'erU that "there is war
at the Homestead Works, and the employers
nave enlisted Pinkerton Hessians and forti
fied their property in order that thev mv
pour scalding wa!er on their discharged
workmen if an attack is made upon them."
"Carnegie," the World add?, "lives in a
baronial castle in Scotland, his native land."
This subtle vituperation is directed airainst
a man who, according to the World, should
unresistingly permit dissatisfied laborers to
destroy his mills and smash his machinerv.
This high toned and public-spirited journal
lioida that Mr. Carnegie has committed a
gross outrage in taking measures to prevent
his discharged workmen from burning down
the structures at Homestead, and wrecking
their contents, bv wav of protest HiTilnt
being denied a higher rale of wagts than that
Wbicn oilier laborers are ready and anxious
to accept.
We think that Mr. Camecie has aJonfed
none bnt humane and enlightened methods
for protecting his property, and for protect
ing uch workmen as are anxious to vz.
change their present condition of idleness
lor one of such occupation as the conditions
of trade admit of. Instead of providing
muskets and bavonets or shell and sh raring I
for the defense, Mr. Carnegie has set up a
vigorous pump and plenty of hose and
water. He has a search lieht on a tower, mi
that no firebug can apply the torch to his
buildings in the mt;ht time : and all around
about the high fence Hiat incloses his rjmrv.
erty he has strung barbed wire, charging the
same Irotn a dynamo with j tut a sufficient
number of volts to make it exoeedinir. repul
sive to the touch.
For ibis the World holds him uo to Dublin
execration as a scoundrelly foreigner who
has placed his heel on the throat of Ameri
can labor. No one will dispute the right of
laborers to organize and pr-.tect themselves
as intelligently aa they may ; but the law of
supply and demand cannot be tmn-miii1
by artificial obstructions ; and so far as
American labor is concerned, we bave yet to
see that American laborers ever burned nr
destroyed the property of an employer, ever
wrecked tlie trains on a railroad out ef en
mity or revenge, or ever committed anr of
those gross and heinous outrages which have
marked the constantly recurring struma be
tween the employer and the employed. In
variably, within our observation, the rioting
and destruction have.been done by the alien
the lawless, and the criminal, and American
labor was staying at home and attending to
its own business. And if Mr. Carnegie
doubles up any intruders with bis electrici
ty, or douses them with his hose, no sensi
ble man will condemn him for the act, or
vilify the independence and resolution that
enables him to protect his property and bis
rights.
