Reflections on III I'nelesiineM of Shallow
WMir Eiplorcra Whera ftlmnld the
111am Bant For Man? FnllnreeT TheRe
iiponilbllltj' of 1'atxrnltjr.
What would be thought of n ship that
tvBg launched from Its docks with flour
ish of mmlo and flowing wine, built to
ail the roughest and deepest sea, yet
manned for an unending cruise along
shore? Never leaving harbor for dread
of storm. Never swinging out of the
land girt bay because, over the bnr, the
waters were deep and rough. You
would say of such a ship that its cnptnln
was a coward and the company that
built it were tools.
And yet these souls of ours were
fashioned for bottomless soundings.
There Is no created thing thnt draws
as deep us the soul of man; our life lies
straight Herons tho ocean and not alone
shore, bnt we are nfrald to venture; we
bang upon the coast and explore shal
low lagoons or swing nt anchor in Idle
bays. Some of us striko tho keel into
riches and cruise about therein, like
men-of-war in a narrow river. Home of
us are contented all our days to ride at
anchor in the becalmed waters of self
ish ease. Thero are guns at every port
hole of tho ship we sail, but we use
them for pegs to hang clothes npon or
pigeonholes to stack full of idle hours.
We shall nover smell powder, although
the magazine is stocked with holy wrath
wherewith to fight the devil and his
deeds. When 1 see a man strolling along
at his ease, whllo under his very nose
some brute is maltreating horse, or
some coward venting his ignoble wrath
upon a creature more helpless than he,
whether it be a child or a dog, I involun
tarily think of double decked whaler
content to fish for minnows. Their
selessness is the world is more appar
ent than the uselessneu of Conarder
in a park poad.
What did Ood give you muscle and
girth and brain for if not to launch you
on the high seas? Up and away with
you then into the deep soundings where
you belong, O belittled soult Find
the work to do for which you were fit
ted and do it, or else run yourself on
the first convenient snag and foander.
Some great writer has said that we
ought to begin life as at the source of a
river, growing deeper every league to
the sea, whereas, in fact, thousands
enter the river at its mouth and sail
inland, finding less and less water ev
ery day, until in old age they lie shrunk
and gasping upon dry ground.
Bnt there are more who do not sail
at all than there are of those who make
the mistake of sailing up stream. There
are the women who devote their lives
to the petty business of pleasing worth
less men. What progress do they make
even inland? With sails set and brassy
stanchions polished to tbeeimilitade of
gold, tbey hover a lifetime cbaiaed to
a dock and docay of their own useless
ness at last, like keels that are mud
slugged. It as not tbo most profitable
thing in the world to please. Suppose it
shall please the inmates of a bedlam
house to see yens set fire to your clothing
and burn to death, or break your ibones
one by one upon a rack, or otherwise
destroy your bodily parts that the poor
lunatics might e entertained. Would
it pay to be pleasing to such an audi
ence at such a sacrifice? We were put
into this world with a clean way 1)111
for another port than this. Across the
ocean of life oar way lies, straight to
the harbor of the city of gold. We are
freighted with a consignment from
roomage hold to keep which is bouad
to be delivered sooner or later at tke
great Master's wharf. Let ns be alert,
then, to recognise the seriousness of our
own destinies and content ourselves no
longer with shallow soundings. Spread
the sails, weigh the anchor and point
the prow for the country that lies the
other side of a deep and restless sea.
Sooner or later the voyage must bo made ;
let ns make it, then, whilo the timber
is stanch and the rudder true.
When you look at a picture and find
it good or bad, 'as the case may be, whom
do you praise or blame, the owner of
the picture or the ortitit who painted it?
When you hear a strain of muBio and
are either lifted to heaven or cast into
the othor place by its harmonies or its
discord, wbum do you thank or curse
for tbo benefaction or the infliction,
whichever it may have proved to be,
the man who wrote the score or the ma
slo dealer who sold it? . Vou go to a
restaurant and order spring chicken
which turns out to ho the primeval fowl.
Who Is to bliime, tlio waiter who serves
it or Hie buin tiinn of tho concern
who does the mnrltctiiig? And so when
yon encounter the bnl boy, whom do
you hold lepoiHil)lo for his badness,
the buy himself or tlio mother who
(rained him? I declare, ns 1 look about
me from diiy to day nnd see tlio men
and women who play so poor n part in
life. It is not the poverty of their per
formance thnt astonishes mo so much
us the fact that it is ns good as it is.
With the parents that ninny boys nnd
girls hare and the training tliny receive
I am perfectly amazed that they ever
attain to even half way respectability.
Did you ever stop to think, I wonder,
what an awful responsibility is laid
npon you with every child given to
your home? If yon appreciate tho risk
and take the responsibility 1 shouldn't
think you would And much time for
other callings. A man who ts drawing
up tho plans for a now house attends to
his business closely and doesn't go o.T
on many picnics or sail over sens in
pursuit of pleasure wbilo his plans are
pending. A man who has entered a
young horse for the Derby spends most
of his time training tho colt. He doesn't
loaf about town or read novels or lie
abed late; be is alert and on hand if he
expects to win the race. Carelessness
and indifference never brought a win
ning horse nnder the wire yet. Amber

A AmuagUne; Scheme.
Passing through Hudson street with
a friend, I chanced to pass the establish
ment of a Arm of "folders and repack
ers" of dry goods. Before the door wero
a hundred or more little bales of goods,
bearing odd markings, hut showing thnt
they were destined tor a firm in Texns,
doing business in a town near the Mex
ican line.
"Do you know," asked my compnn
ion, "why those goods are put up in
such small packnges?"
Upon replying in the negntivelio con
tinued: "They nro to bo smuggled across
the Mexican line. Tho goods nro pur
chased in their original packages and
delivered here. The wooden boxes are
discarded, and the goods subjected to
hydraulic pressure and baled. Each
bale contains about 80 pieces, or half the
uiimher of an ordinary dry goods case.
"The goods are then shipped to Tex
as, and all marks removed. When all
is arranged, some night the little bales
are slung across the backs of mules,
two bales to each animal, and with an
armed escort the train proceeds over the
border to some distributing point in
Mexico, where the goods are sold to Mex
ican traders at a good profit.
"Smuggling in this manner is quite
extensively carried on between this
country and Mexico, the United States
getting in return for its dry goods,
which are the most easily bandied, cheap
Mexican coffee and cigars." New York
Herald.
America'! Only Froetlees Balk
What is supposed to be the only frost
less belt in the United States lies be
tween the city of Los Angeles and the
Pacific ocean. It traverses the foothills
of the Cahaenga range and has an ele
vation of between 800 and 400 feet. In
breadth it ts perhaps three miles. The
waters of the Pacifio are visible from
it, and the proximity of the ocean has
of coarse something to do with banish
ing frosts. Daring the winter season
this tract produces tomatoes, peas,
beans and other tender vegetables, and
here the lemon flourishes, a tree that ia
peculiarly susceptible to cold. Tropical
trees may be also cultivated with suc
cess, and in connection with this fact it
is Interesting to know that a part of the
fnvarod territory has been ncquired by
Los Angolcs for park purposes, and It
is only a question of time when the city
wilt have the unique distinction of pos
sessing the only tropical park in the
Uuited Stutes. Strango to say, only
the midway region -of the Cahuenga
Jange is free from frost, the lower part
of the valley being occasionally visited.

Oecar Wilde's Latest.
The way of the wit is hard. Oscar
Wilde, moved by the ready appreciation
of tbo English people, has been led to
make some remarks which even his ad
mirers are not applauding. He haa
been making some observations on the
subject of Puritans and the theater.
After devoutly hoping that he would
not "be offered a bishopric, " Mr. Wilde
added, "I quite expect to see any day
in the evening papers, 'Great Discovery
in Egypt. Ten more commandments

TRAINING BOTH HANDS ALIKE.
No Cloail tlpnnott Yrt Advnnrril Why II
Sliniilil Not lie Inno.
In one of his essays In n book en
titled " Urnshwond, " tho Into .lames T,
Fields wrote: "If I were n hoy ngnlii, 1
think 1 would learn t:;tis. my left hand
Just ns freely ns my ritjlit one. so thnt
if anything happened to lamn either of
them tlio other would lie nil ready to
writo nnd handln things just as freely
ns If nothing had occurred." And un
doubtedly n great miiiiy of ns would
learn to use both hands alike if we hnd
our lives to live over ngnin. Of nil the
young women who enme under my In
struction whllo in charge of tho School
of Domestic Economy of the Iowa Air
ricnltnral college, not more than one in
twenty-fivo could sweep properly. The
ratio in this respect of those who enme
under my Instruction at Purdue univer
sity was about the same. And as fnr
as my observation extends this ratio
will hold in regard to women generally.
As a rule, women, old ami young, do
not know how to handle. a broom. Their
right hands only have been trained.
Their left hands have been neglected.
When a women takes hold of a broom
it is with the right hand near the top
of the handle and the left hand toward
the corn, and instead of changing and
reversing them as occasion demands
she always keeps them in the same po
sition. Whether she sweeps to the right
or to the left, the position of her hands
remains unchanged. And her body is
contorted and her muscles strained in
the performance of an operation that
would exercise these organs harmonious
ly, if the hands were so trained that
they could be used nt will nnd were
changed ns demanded by tho changes in
the position of tlio sweeper.
1 refer to women sweeping merely to
illustrate my point. The same can be
said concerning the training of the
hands in numerous othor branches of
women's work that it is unnecessary to
mention, and so fur ns the nso of the
left hand is concerned men nre in no
bettor condition than women. Men nnd
women are in this respect maimed and
handicapped ali'e. Why should such
a statu of things exist? Why, in this
age of mnnual training, should wo over
look and neglect the education of the
left hand and continue to train the
right hand at tho expense of the left?
No physician or physiologist bas ever

Mrs. Bomney's Water Cooler.
The Colorudo journalist, Mrs. Rom
ney, bas patented, among several other
articles, a water cooler which does not
require ice. It is a covered receptacle,
of cellular brickware, manufactured of
clay, sawdust and asbestus fiber. In
the process the sawdust is burned out,
leaving the product cellular, or porous.
The receptacle, with the water to be
kept cool within, stands in a tray of
galvanised iron, which holds water to a
depth of two or three inches. By reason
of the porosity of the cooler and the force
of capillary attraction, the water in
the tray constantly rises through the
cellular walls of the teceptacle, and is
an constantly evaporated thereby keep
ing the water inside as cool as it is usu
ally drawn from a well or spring. Den

The Kmperar and the Pirate.
Alexander the Great was about to pass
sentence of death on a noted pirate, but
previously asked him, "Why dost thou
trouble the seas?"
"Why," rejoined the rover boldly,
"dost thou trouble the whole world? I,
with one ship, go in quest of solitary ad
venture and am therefore called pirate.
Thou, with a great army, wnrrest against
nations and therefore art called em
peror. Sir, there is no difference be
twixt us but in the name and means of
doing mischief."
Alexander, so far from being dis
pleased with the freedom of the culprit,
was so impressed with the force of his
appeal that he dismissed him unpun

i
oft Word.
One of the most curious of current
beliefs is that of hypocrisy lurking in
pleasnnt manners and sincerity in those
that nre rough or stern. It seems a
relio of our Puritan forefnthors, bnt it
certainly Is out of placo today. One is
foolish, or very innocent, to give heed
to more than tho letter of society cour
tesies. But, on tho other hand, the
wish to pleaso is a good sign in itself,
and tho willingness to hurt, by word
ns well ns by deed, is a bad sign in it
self. Selfishness is, far more than hy
pocrisy even, a usual failing. And
there is small hope for the habitually
self absorbed rough speaker, while there
is always a chance thnt tho soft manner
may sink into the heart. To those who
tell us that soft words bntter no pars
nips, we mny retort, oil is also better
for a wig than vinegar. If proverbs
mean anything, it is because thore is
one for every side of a question. Ex
