AMERICAN HEROISM. Unassuming Men Who, in KmergencUi, Develop the Qualities or Martyrs. It Is not infrequently charged that Americans arc so sordid in sentiment,.' so eager and absorbed in the pursuit of . material gain, that they are incapable of heroism or sclf-sacriflce. Tho noblest daring, says tho Chicago Herald, recorded in verse or drama, in battle or mythology, does not supass that shown in Incidents recorded in tho dispatches of the Herald from tho flood district in Iowa. Men did not hesitato to tako tho chances of losing their own lives for tho saving of others, and a number have gone down with tho dead ly flood from whoso peril they vainly sought to rcscuo women and children. It is not so hard for tho human spirit, full of emotion and stirred to extraor dinary effort by Buddcn impulse on bat tlefield or in other scene of brilliant speetaclo or maddening excitement, to risk the loss of that which to every man is dearer than all else. It requires a sterner courage, a heart more deliber ate in self-sacrifice, to risk life for oth ers in a dismal river overflow, in rickety boat, with no skill against rushing waters, little endurance in tho chill of furious blizzaTds. Sorapared with tho glowing pcans that have handed down useless feats of fantastic chivalry, such talcs may bo called only dilapidated opics. The con ditions of their lives, tho circumstances of their death, do not appeal to grand iose diction. Often their very names nro unknown. Monuments do not com memorate their voluntary martyrdom. It is such men, obscure, uncelebrated, that prove when tho unespected mo ment comes that thero Is in them tho mettle of heroes. It is such sacrifices that vindieato tho political and social experiment of democracy. It is homely. natural, simple deeds liko these that prove manhood higher than caste, American greater than any other name left in tho world. Tho merit in these men's daring is that it was rational and not expectant of reward, ideal or ma terial. It is tho noblest tribute that man can pay to humanity. A TRACTION OOMPANT.

Bo euro that the Ashland, Pa., is 3-3-3 taw A Fecullar Malno Industry That Ilaa Ita Advantages Many of tho Maine rural towns do not support a professional barber. Men early learn to shave themselves; and as to hair-cutting, thero is always somebody in town, who, with that neighborliness for wiich theso communities aro noted, is ready to trim your locks for you with all his heart and all his art. A writer for the Belfast Aire, on an outing, rc- cently fell in with ono of theso ama teur barbers and humorously described his accommodating ways: "Soon I was perched astride of a molasses hogshead with a mealbag about my neclt to pro tect it from tho fall of hair. I might say tho fall was great, or tho possibil ities of ono, from tho hogshead as I squirmed about on it to have tho light strike the head right so the gores would bo even. Ho was no mean barber, for ho scorned to receive any recompense. I wish all barbers were as charitable. After our cutting acquaintance 1 saw much of the barber. Ono tlmo ho was on tho schoolhouse steps cutting a man's hair; again I saw him hard at work on a man's head in the middle of his vegetable patch. The farmer was leaning against a bean-pole with his hoo in his hand evidently malting tho most of his luxurious ease. Anywhere and everywhere ho happened to catch his man tho enterprising barber would work. I was on tho shore ono day watching the fisherman at his salmon nets. Shortly a small skiff went out from a neighboring cove. In it was the barber, who rowed out to whero the fisherman was and was soon cutting las hair. Governor Pattlson to be Asked to Grant a Charter.

Ten ChinefcO merchants of Foochow organized tho exploring ex pedition. The vast forests there had never been penetrated by traders, but it was known that the .country was broken by hifth and rugged mountains that had very heavy timber. Tho ex pedition started from the Chinoso port of Sumalan. After seven days of hard travel it reached tho Hualin river. It found no roads, not oven iv trail, and in many caak tho members journeyed for hours along tho tracks of wild beasts through heavy timber. Many signs of natives were seen, but the savages were too timid to show themselves. Whether the party succeeded in establishing barter with them Is not recorded. In ono of tho great forests trees of enor mous size and height were found. Ten men, joining thoir outstretched arms, wore unablo to clasp the trunk near tho ground. Thoy estimated the hoight nt two hundred or more feet. Another peculiar tree bore red and white flowers as largo as an ordinary sieve. The forest life, from tho descriptions of tho Chinoso, roeombles that of tho Am' uzon. One Man's Statistics. A methodical man died in Berlin t few days ago aged 73.
