Ijuct of an interesting article in the Popular Science Monthly, by Barton j W. Evertnann, of the United States lish commission. He says: Many years ago the famous old guide, Jim liridger, told his incredulous friends that he had found, on the divide west of the Upper Yellowstone, : a creek which flowed in both directions —one end flowing east into the Yellowstone, the other west into Snake river. Hut, as ho also told about many other strange and to them impossible things which he had seen—among which were a glass mountain and a river which ran down hill so fast that the water was made boiling hot—they were not disposed to acknowledge the existence of his “Two-Ocean creek.” Subsequent evt*its vindicated liridger. Atlantic creek was found to have two forks entering the pas ;. At the north end of a low, square meadow is a small wooded canyon, down which flows the North fork. This stream hugs the border of the flat very closely. The South fork comes down the canyon on the south side, skirting the brow of the hill a little less closely than does the North fork. The two coming together near the middle of the eastern border of the meadow form Atlantic creek, which, after a course of a few miles, flows into the Upper Yellowstone. But the remarkable phenomena exhibited here remain to he described. Each fork of Atlantic creek, just after entering the meadow, divides as if to flow around an island, but the stream toward the meadow, instead of returning to the portion from which it had parted, continues its westerly course across the meadow. Just before reaching the western border the two streams unite, and then pour their combined waters into Pacific crock; tints are Atlantic and Pacific creeks united, and a continuous waterway from the mouth of the Columbia, via Two-Ocean pass, to the Gulf of Mexico is established. Two-Oeean creek is not a myth, but a verity, and Jim Bridger is vindicated. We stood upon the bank of either fork of Atlantic creek, just above the place of the “parting of the waters,” and watched the stream pursue its rapid but dangerous and uncertain course along the very crest of the Great Continental Divide. A creek flowing along the ridge-pole of a continent is unusual and strange, and well worth watching and experimenting with. So we waded to the middle of the North ?urk, and. lying down upon the rocks in its bed, we drank the pure icy water that was hurrying to the Pacific, and without rising, but by simply bending a little to the left, we took a draught from that portion of the stream which was just deciding to go east, via the Missouri-Mississippi route to the Gulf of Mexico. And then we tossed chips, two at a time, into the stream. Though they strike the water within an inch or so of each other, not infrequently one would be carried by the current to the left, keeping in Atlantic creek, while the other might be carried a little to the right and enter the branch running across the meadow to Pacific creek; the one beginning a journey which will finally bring it to the great gulf, the other entering upon a long voyage in the opposite direction

to Balboa's ocean.

It Was Conducted on Humane and En-

lightened Principles.

Net until 1870 was there any attempt at public education in England. And not till 1875 was it possible for poor people to send their children to school without paying the common fee. In the more remote towns there were few books; newspapers were seldom seen, and even such simple object lessons us menageries or museums never made an appearance. The religious teachers were barely able to read the Bible, much less to give a sensible explanation of its mysteries. Fully threefourths of the English people were tinable to read and write. The depth of this ignorance of even the simplest affairs of life is hardly appreciable in this

day and age of the world.

Illustrative of this is a story of an

If you travel much in this country ’p,ci will he struck with the difference in the manners of a railway conductor. At the north and in the west lie is as uncommunicative an oflieial as a policeman. He never smiles or relaxes for a moment when on duty. lie knows no one in the discharge of his duty, which he goes through with military exactness. On rare occasions, says the Washington Post, he will nod to a commuter, but the nod is not to be taken as any evidence of relaxation of official routine. He is addressed as “Conductor,” and seems to have no name beside that. He is a human number, in short. The moment you cross the Potomac everything is different. The conductor is called “Captain.” he knows everybody.

Historic Explanation That It Is Part of His Karo Heritage. “There are some things about the negro character,” said a southern man as reported by the Chicago Tribune, "which you folks can never understand because you don’t see that peculiar character as closely as we do. First and foremost, it is next to impossible to get good continuous service out of the negro. Whether as river roustabout, farm hand, or general workman iu business employment in the cities he’s naturally a restless creature, fine Atlanta man, who had gone into this branch thoroughly and compared notes for many years with people in different southern states, claimed that about three holidays a week was the usual quota of the colored hand, and he traces this propensity .entur'ex back to the heart of Africa, where the savage theology for unknown ages has taught, and In some interior tribes stiii teaches, the doctrine of work and rest alternating by successive days. Hence this propensity is all legitimate race heritage. His father had a negro from interior Africa, a big man of his tribe, and he caused a small panic on the plantation by Inaugurating a revolt against six days of labor a week on religious grounds. No matter what his own necessities or those of his family may be the average colored mpn today in Dixie, so he says, is good for two or three days’ rest in a week. No matter what the exigencies of harvest it’s well-nigh impossible to hold him in lino on continuous labor. With the south practically dependent on this class of help it leaves that region under a big industrial cloud, which nothing but the introduction of white blood will

HIS SAVINGS. Some Comments on the Manner In Which They Were Made. A horny-handed workingman in Meriden, whose wages have never been over two dollars a day, has saved nine thousand dollars from them, which he keeps at interest in the savings bank. He must surely have lived very closely; he must have been mean toward his four children, three girls and one boy; he must have cut down his family supplies ton low notch during the forty years in which he has been laying by his riches. It is time for us to say that wc cannot hold him up for an cxample to bo followed by all other workingmen. It would not be well for them jq live as he must have lived all his life, never enjoying half a pint of peanuts or a saucer of ice cream, never giving any of his children a stick of candy or a doll, hardly ever buying a new dress for his wife or a suit of clothes for himself, or a copy of a Meriden newspaper. The word In that household from morning till night, at breakfast, dinner and supper, must have been scrimp. He is surely a stingy man. something like a skinflint, or how could ho have saved so mucji out of Ids small wages? We can t say lhal we admire his style. It is good for a man, says the New York Sun, to live pretty well if he can afford it, and to get the best out of his money as he goes along, always, of course, avoiding anything like wastefulness, always practicing economy. It is good for him to put some money in the bank, if he can; but not much more than lie can spare. It is right for one to feather his nest, but wrong to stuff it so full of feathers that its occupant cannot breathe freely. Certainly, oh, certainly, you should lay up something against a rainy day; but still you need not squeeze all the juice out of life, like the stingy two-dollar-a-day man of

family. Then he jerks the bell for the train to move on. He knows every inmate of every farm or plantation on his run. He calls the respectable-look-ing old-time darkies “uncle” and “mammy," and cracks a joke with them aliout being a runaway couple. The “generals,” “judges,” “colonels,” and “squires” receive particular attention, and are for him when there is any promotion in the company to a man. Often he is an old soldier, and runs up against an old comrade, and then dire threats are made about putting him off the train if he don't “hand out that ticket right away." lie will pop down alongside the prettiest girl on the train and commence talking about the next picnic or county fair; always friendly, pleasant, and provincial, but never vulgar, he is a terror to the occasional tough or drummer who gets noisy or loud, and is not afraid of anything that wears clothes. If there is a washout and a delay he knows where there is good fishing and offers to pilot the passengers to the perch. If there is an accident he has nerve, sense and forethought, and comes out uncommonly strong as an emergency man. He has no cast-iron rules about tickets, providing no fraud is evident, but he is as smart as a whip in detecting the free rider. Take him all in all, he is a dandy as a conductor, and makes more friends for the road in one trip than the other

kind do in a year.

Kitchens In the Tropica. The kitchens of tropical countries, such as are to be found in our SpanishAmerican lands, are like cells, from the thickness of thi- stone walis--oiteu Uvo or three feet deep—and the projecting, omnipresent veranda, which gives a grateful shade, nnd which hxiks out on a court. The eel! resemblance is enhanced by the iron bars at the windows and the heavy double doors, which look as if they could resist a siege. The walls are whitewashed and the floors are of tiles. The dining-room is often separated from this room by a long staircase; outside the kitchen, in the court, will stand table and closets, to supplement the scant furniture of the small, hot apartment with a furnacelike fire.

NEW AMONG NATIONS. Fact* About the Axoren, to Which Portugal Han (.ranted Autonomy. Portugal has recognized the American principle of local self-government in granting autonomy to the Azores, and that interesting little community of rather less than three hundred thousand people Will soon be legislating for itself, doubtless at Angra, the almost unknown capital of the group. The indepeudent blue flag, with the white hawk and the nine stars, displayed by the islanders of San Miguel when the good news came from Lisbon, contains a sort of brief history of the group. It tells there are nine islands sown thick in the blue midoceao, nnd that the emblematic hawk reminds the world that the name Acor, Portuguese for hawk, was conferred on the islands because of the groat number of those birds found there by the navigator sent out from Portugal to take possession of the group. On- story of that quest is that Vanderberg, a Dutch merchant, being driven out of his course, chanced upon the islands, and reported them when he touched at Lisbon. Another is that Dom Henry of Portugal, having an old map upon which the islands wenlaid down, dispatched Gonzalo Velho Cabral to search for them. At any rate, the navigator reached the islands in - ■ t fl--*,-a.'vrP-.'-i to Ynmlr-r-berg's adventure, and twelve years later took possession of San Miguel. All the nine islands had been rediscovered by j 1457, and colonization soon began.

Big Amount Kecetvei) at \V>iNhin£ton from Smuggler, and Others. A unique feature of the treasury department is the conscience fund. Surprising as it may seem, the contributions amount to a considerable sum annually iu spite of the fact that most pcjple regard it as perfectly legitimate to beat the government or a railroad company. The greater number of these conscience contributions, says the Washington Star, came from people who have been abroad and smuggled in some dutiable article. Some come from persons who have cheated Uncle Sara in paying internal revenue taxes. Several days ago a dainty little per fumed note was received from Minneapolis stating that the writer had brought over from Paris a number of pairs of gloves for friends upon which she had paid no duty, and that she had discovered that the tax would have been about five dollars, which she inclosed. A letter was received from Pleasant Lake, N. D., inclosing a tendollar bill wrapped in a piece of brown paper, upon which was written: “For the conscience fund,” with no explanation as to how the government had been defrauded of that amount. A few years ago a letter was received from an old farmer in Tennessee stating that he had distilled several barrels of whisky without paying the tax and inclosing a check for fifty dollars. Of course his signature was on the check and he could easily have been indentitied, hut on account of his having made restitution of the amount due the internal revenue bureau it was decided to let the matter drop. The money in most cases, however, is simply put in a plain envelope and addressed to the treasury department. There is no doubt that much money is lost in this way through dishonest pustui employes, who readily recognize such letters and know that they contain money. There would be no risk in taking it, as in the case of a registered or even ordinary letter, as the sender would probably never know whether it had been received at the treasury department or not. A good deal of money is sent to the conscience fund which Joes uot properly belong to the government. Sometimes a man swindles his neighbor, but docs not care to acknowledge the fact, and eases his conscience by sending the money to the treasury department.
