She knew that it was for her sake and- hers alone that he was ready to stake his life. But that in nowise detracted from his' heroism.

F. How, Vice-President of the Wabash Railroad. The young man's share of the family estate is ������1,000,000. By one word he could command the luxuries of the world's work and live in all the delights of the flesh. But the verses in Mark are burned into his brain, and he follows in the footsteps of Jesus as closely as it is possible for mere man to do. He refuses to touch a penny of his Immense inheritance. "It is not mine,** he says. "I did not earn it." One day not long ago he walked into the ofKcc of Mayor Ziegen- heim, of St. Eouis, the city in which he lives, and tendered that official $100,000 which he wished should be given to the poor. Mr. Ziegcnheiin nearly fell off his chair. He question- en Mr. How, and found out that his visitor meant business. Then the Mayor rang his bell for Sergeant McGrcw, the Cerberus of the ex_- cutive ofDce. Whon that giant came in the mayor, who is not a pigmy himself, felt safer. The upshot of the interview was that Mr. How was escorted to Dr. Starkloff, the health commissioner, with the request that he examine the millionaire* for his sanity. Dr. Starkloff pronounced the man perfectly sane. Then ilr. How renewed his offer Uni. the mayor couldn't get. over his licst, fright and wouldn't touch the money.' Mr. How came to the conclusion that the influence.of "Christy words was pretty dead in St.-Louis. ' He had forgotten that ho was the only man. in town who takes the ���������New Testament seriously. Balked n-t the very threshold of his noble'purpose by an economic and sordid age, Mr. How determined, to live up to the second part of the Saviour's injunction. He would take up his cross and follow Christ. He went to live among the poorest people he could find, to" teach them, to minister to them, to lead them toward the light which ' he himself saw or fancied he saw. He, founded a mission at Washington avenue and Ninth street, St. Louis, and here expounded the gospels after his own fashion. His dress is that of the lowliest, his fare as simple as that of'the apostles and his life is ordered in-every way to help cm his hope of regenerating- mankind. A visiting minister approached him and askoxl him what kind of Christian work he was doing. "Trying the best I can to get away.-from the Christ and the church that you preach and practice," Mr. Plow replied. "And it is tho hardest thing I have to do." The minister started. "Are you not a Unitarian ?" he asked. "No." "Then you are not a Christian?" "I think I am more of a Btiddhist I ' ' than' "a Christian." Che self-extinguished millionaire answered.* "Sometimes'I think I am more of a Christian than a Buddhist, and again more of a Buddhist than a Christian. I don't/know just which." The minister turned uncomfortably red in the face and walked away sorely grieved. This kind of literal Christianity he was not accustomed to and it made him feel nervous. Mr.'"How was too deep for him. "That man," the preacher 'said, pui- zlod, "is actually doing what Jesus has |old him to do." ' ��������� Mr. How has another crotchet ������tranc������lv out of "Joint wi'.h the coro- ' monly accepted practice of Christian ��������� ministers. He does not believe in' the wisdom of the saying "They who preach the gospel should live by the gospel." Now, this is radical. Even the Salvation Army follows the universal practice/ But. Mr. ' How , preaches the gospel and supports himself by theJ labor of his own hands. , lie is apt at many trades, and is an excellent,and willing hand at "odd jobs." And be finds he can give some of his earnings even to -his beloved poor, besides the interest on his fortune, for his needs are few. He is a strict vegetarian,' and his apparel is as simple as was that,of his divine" model. , ' "* This anomoly among men entertains no fool's dream that' other rich men will follow his example. He is only trying to do the best that< is ,in his power to so live his own.life that* it will comport with the * unequivocal command of Jesus. But he'believes .that the'example of hits brotherhood will stimula-te other > wealthy men to be more careful of the public good.

Loving, one another is She supreme test set by Jesus , of men's merits, and the fruits of that neighborly love are the standard by which Christians arc to be known. All the' members of, the brotherhood earn- their bread with'their own hands. Mr. How ,has, not" the appearance of a fanatic, He is fanatie in no sense of the 4\vorld. He is comvinced that his only' happiness can be found in just the way of life he has chosen.1' His ascetic, or at,least, abstemious habits have given-him a'somewhat gaunt look, - but his face, with" its beaminess ,and its strong humanity, is more Christian like than half of the Christ's heads painted by ' ' the masters. Prominent citizens have taken him up, and will see that 'his interest money is judiciously bestowed upon the poor, according to Mr How's dearest wish. A LA MODE.

It was the worst storm in years and all over the city hopes were expressed that the troopship Milwaukee would escape harm. Being 2-1 hours out, there is little doubt but that the vessel was out of its reach. At midnight a hurricane swept the city accompanied by rain, sleet and heavy show: The electric current had to be closed off early leaving the city an almost complete darkness. Gradually ice formed in tons, around the telephone wires-'-and -the fury of the gale 'with this great weight snapped the telephone poles and over one hundred were'down in different parts of tho city. The street car service had to close down, the ' posts supporting the trolley wire having collapsed- Much damage is reported from all quarters of the city and the loss will be many thousands of dollars. n ��������� THE PLAGUE IN INDIA.

Engineering strongly recommends that in manuJacturing works the breakfast break should be entirely done away with the hours being from 7 in the morning till 12 noon, and from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on ordinary days, whilst on Saturdays, rhe work closes at 12 noon. There are thus 52V_ working hours in a week; but the men might still be paid for 54 hours, tthe extra one and a half hours being added as a bonus when no time is lost during the week. The. system is in operation in some eases and gives equalsatis- faction to the firm and to the men. A hungry and sleepy man Engineering continues does not usually work any harder than he is obliged to, and the efficiency rof the workman in the two hours, which are in this country usually worked before breakfast, is not particularly high. There is, moreover, a direct loss of time on each side of the breakfast break, which can scarcely be less than 10 minutes per day, or one hour per week. In . the second place, some firms have adopted the premium plan of paying their men, with the happiest results. It differs, according to Engineering, from piece work in that a time is fixed for a job in place of a price. For every hour a workman can save on the standard time fixed, he receives a premium, which with some firms is as high as one-half the saving effected. Thus, the .higher -wage .the workman makes, the less the cost of the work per piece; whilst with- the piecework system the labor. cost per ..piece remains the same, whatever the workman's rate'of pay. and as a consequence the. latter does no more than is sufficient to earn -him the maximum sum which the "office" will permit him to make without being moved to cut prices. The natural consequence of \ this arrangement is that a certain rate of execution is quickly reached on piecework, and maintained steadily ever after. With the premium system, on the other hand,-the fact that the higher wages a man may make, the less~ his work costs, checks the too often Tin- reasoning craving of the financial department of the management for cutting ���������rlown the wages bill. The workman, .idds Engineering, has. therefore every inducement to continuously increase his output.

'4. id >'< ''���������-', ���������' Ot ' , I* \h THE EVOLUTION THAT IS WORKING IN THE SOCIAL SCALE- A JUMPING BEAN CLOCK. _ 's \l" ll'A- l-'v If -* p I. Ii :', I New Calling* Claim the Work of the Men Who Are Displaced by Modern Machinery���������Condition-* Now and n Hundred Year* Akto, It certainly swnis at first sight to be an economic danger this educating of the laboring; man and woman to bo far too good for laborer's work. Let us east oar thoughts, however, over a wider horizon ' and see how the decades that bring the - peril are also bringing the remedy. Science is steadily sweeping away all those humblest classes of employment. Hardly any man has now to toil up ladders with the bod of bricks opon his shoulder. The donkey engine does the purely animal part of the work- ' Tbe reaper is replaced by tho machine, and the plowman is fast receding as the steam plow makes its appearance. We' rarely see long lines of men laden with coal' bags runuing up t planks as in tbe olden days, Tbo need of men to do tbe work of horses is, steadily diminishing. lt is true that science has by no means, conquered tbe whole domain. There is' still much scrubbing of floors to be done by men and women on bended knees, and coal is still bewn out with pick and ax and tbe use of muscle, with but little use of brains.. And yet. even in our fertile country, science never works by revolu- ' tion. but only by progress. One domain after another has gone. Where are now tbe armies of water carriers aud chair porters and night men and sawyers whom our grandfathers used to require? Imagine if ships bad still to be moved by galley rowers what millions would be doomed to a beastlike toil. ' tt Some parts of the big domain of uureflected labor will long be left untouched, but the process is going forward, and it is clear that while education is rendering the lower classes unfit for the humblest sorts of occupations, science is steadily sweeping away these occupations. It would be too much to hope that these processes should be,at all times strictly proportioned to one another. But in the general drift of things they- are compensatory, and if we only give to science a reasonable time it will leave us none of that labor to be done which requires an uneducated laborer. Then comes the uneasy question as to . what is to become of the classes thus deprived of occupation. The working classes themselves often curse the progress of invention and are tempted to look upon it as no friend to their welfare. There are now. it is true* no longer any machine breaking frenzies, but tbe difficulty often, arises, in an acute, though silent, suffering. .Unfortunately, society^bas always to travel ' to-' permanent' good through transitory ills.. When an army of compositors is dismissed because some one has invented a machine, there is excuse for. some bitterness of feeling. And yet there was a time when a whole.army of manuscript book copiers had to give way before the advent of the compositor. ��������� But the difficulty is always evanescent, for here, too, there are compensating influences at work. For if science -is abolishing occupations. at the lower end of the scale, she is creating new ones at tho top. Think of tbe hundreds of thousands of men who in England are now employed jn callings that had no existence GO years ago���������the telegraphers and pkouog- raphers and machinists of a hundred kinds. In the last decade or two what an army of skilled men has been demanded by the invention .of the bicycle, the telephone and the electric light! As compared with 100 years ago. think of- the long array of marine and locomotive engineers, the chemists, the journalists, the draftsmen,, the teachers, the postmen, railway porters and tram conductors. What a multitude of callings are there which are either new or eise newly stocked, so that, while the population has quadrupled, their ranks have been multiplied a lf*ndredfold. But it is the entirely new employments that strike the mind most forciUy, and any one who runs his eye down a census' of the occupations of the people will satisfy himself that in England of the present day one- fifth part of the adult male population find their livelihood in callings that had no existence 100 years ago. Thus while science takes away with one hand it liberally bestows with the other, but what it takes away are . the low class occupations, and what it gives are the high-class..one's,'demanding intelligence and cultivating it. The general tendency is therefore humanizing. But of course it never happens that tbe coal heaver, when thrown out of work by the introduction of a steam crane, can go away and get a place in one of tho newly created superior callings. He is not such a fool as to waste his time In applying for an opening as an electrical engineer. But there is a gradual creeping up that ia always taking place. And yet the transfer is umcb less effected by the promotion of individauls than by.promotion of generations. No doubt it sometimes happens that the intelligent plumber steps into the new opening for an electrical engineer and leaves a gap which some one of an inferior calling stops into, the gaps being filled in "snecession until perhaps the riveter, thrown out of work by the introduction of hydraulic machinery, finds a vacancy at last and steps into it. But it more frequently happens that the plumber educates his son to be an electrical engineer, and the carter apprentices his boy to the plumber, and the dock laborer sees his young folks aspiring to be carters. ��������� Thus the general drift of the whole social scale is steadily upward in proportion as science provides intelligent occupations at the upper end and abolishes those that are more or less brutelike at the lower, and so humanity as a whole is the gamer. There is therefore no reason to feel uneasy at a prospect of overcduca- tion.*���������Nineteenth Century. rite Clever Fraud Perpetrated by mrt Injgeniou* Jeweler. A few years ago public curiosity was excited by the curious beans called the "devil beans of Mexico," which shopkeepers plaeed in their windows. They somewhat resembled roasted coffee beans - in shape and color. They were also known as the "jumping beans" owing to the fact that from time to time they made spasmodic movements which propelled them quite a little distance. The beans grew on a small bush in the Mexican mountains, and it, is conjectured that they belong to the order euphorbiaceae. The beau really consisted of tt~ee similar pods, which formed a single bean. It was usually a third of the bcan'which was exhibited as a curiosity. On opening the pod it was found- that it contained a small larva, something like that frequently found in chestnuts. It is this little occupant which gives motion to the bean by its jerks and thumps against the side of its homo. If tbe bean is slightly warmed, it begins to turn from side to side and perhaps with a sudden jump turns completely over and stands on one end and then, by successive jumps, moves quite ft distance. Those who are not in tbe secret are often greatly puzzled by this strange bean. ApVetrterpfi.sidg'jeweler-deyieed'a:, scheme of utilizing them to moke a magic clock. He accomplished this by imitating the shape of two of the beans, making tbe dummy beans out of soft iron. One be gilded and the other he silvered. Tlie prepared iron beans were placed with the ordinary jumping beans on a thin white piece of pasteboard outlined and numbered like the dial of a olock, but devoid of tbe hands. This dial was located over the works of������a large clock which was placed face upward on the floor of the store window. He fastened, small magnets to the ends of the hands. The works were of course carefully hidden from view. All that was in evidence was the cardboard clock dial" and tbe jumping beans, among which were the gold and silver painted iron beans. These were placed on the cardboard over tbe concealed bands with the magnets attached. The magnets were moved by the hands of tbe clock so that they were almost in contact with the cardboard. As they 'moved nround they carried the iron beans with them, thus telling the time of day. and the public was greatly interested by the intelligence shown by the two beans, which distinguished them from their lively associates.���������Scientific American.

In the early days of Garden City district, in southwest Kansas, I was camped one night, sleeping under my buggy, in Kearny county, south of Hurtland. There, were five of us in the party. We were all sleeping, and our campfire had died down, when one of our number was' awakened by a cowboy who wanted to know where the big preacher was. I was pointed out and awakened by a shake with bis feot. He asked, "Are you the preacher?" ���������'I am." I replied. "Well, hustle out. We want you to come to our camp and give us a chapter of the everlasting." "I will be down in tbe morning," I replied. He pointed his gun at me and said, "You will come now." I immediately answered. "All right." , I hurried out and followed him nearly a mile away to a camp, where I found his comrades were waiting. "Well, boys, whilt do you want?" 1 asked. "The best you have in the shop, and we want it short and sweet and in old Methodist style," answered the leader. "Then sit down," I said, "and as I cannot you must sing." They sang with great vigor "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." When I prayed, I coupled prayer with watching, believing that under the circumstances the two should go together. I then preached them a sermon from Revelation iii. 20, entitled, "The Ladder to Glory."' 1 have often used an hour on this sermon, but as the boys wanted it short I gave it to thern in about 12 minutes and then bade them good night and started for camp. "Hold on, come back here." They all seemed to speak at once. "We never let a preacher go off in that style. Pete, you take, tip the collection."

They were a line pair of grays, and the lady welcomed them with admiring pity. Then another hospitable impulse seized her a������ she looked .-a their snow covered backs and sides. "The poor, dear things! They are eold. Take them into the eo'lur where the furnace is. Hub them down, and we'll give thein a hot supper." Her husband winked to the teamster. "All.right.!' he said.

"Did you ever see such a woman for expedients? It's always so. I call her 'general caretaker,' for she takes in the whole world. I'm only a private when sin* eounna'.ids." The teamster gave hearty and complimentary assent, but the airnised wonder of both men grew perceptibly when the practical woman came down cellar with ������,!ie "feed" in a big bucket and two big brimmed old straw hats for nose baskets. "Have you got coffee and baked beans in the pail?" quizzed her husband.

'I do that ( right along and think nothing of it:' 'I'll bet you a box of perfectos you can't do, it right now,' said the other, and in half a minute the wager was made. By' its terms the cigar was to be consumed in steady, consecutive puffs nnd' not removed from the lips until*burned to ������ mark 1*4 inches from the tip. A clear Havana, Colorado raaduro in color, was selected for the test, and the smoker took a seat and began. "He puffed like" an eugi/ie for about two minutes and accumulated something under half an inch of ash. and then he began to wabble. He shifted the cigar from side to side, pulled slow and fast aud seemed to have difficulty getting his breath between the draws. At any rate he kept moving his head to avoid the smoke and finally got to coughing. I could see he was in torture, but he stuck to it until he got within half an inch of the mark. Then he jumped up suddenly,: threw the cigar away and walked out of the store. I paid the bet and charged It to his account, and he told me last night that the very idea of tobacco made him sick.

Had it set up too and the paper half run off when we awoke and this is what met our horrified eyes: Transvaal: A plaice in S, Af- fricca, made up uv dust and long har'd Boars an' Niggurs, 'Taint wuth a cent nohow, on'y fer diamonds.
