Then is no sadder sight Ibaa ItiNi
person who Is s drifter, oa ladiffereal
and heedless of tbe dalles of life, care
less of appearance and reckless aa to fu
ture condition?.
There arc various eauaea which pro
duce drifters. Iulicrlted and acquired
lazloess; rebuffs aud failure la attempt!
at business ventures, and faint bearled
ness when success doe not coma at
once, are tome of the cause which saaks
drifter In the Turld, pertoot who are
reallj more or leas of menace to so
ciety and material progress.
Communities like individuals become
driftcra, but the character of their drift'
Ing It of a Sleepy Hollow nature, wall
ing fur aomething to com along and
waka itieni ud. a fire, an epidemic or a
hurricane.
Without those external aroutlngs ther
are few If any local change In th com
munity, eon succeeding father In bus!
nest, property willed to lucceaair gen'
rtinni when death cornea to th owner
and the apirit, "oh, it was good enough
for father, to It ought to be good eneugb
for me," it the protest offered when at;
tempti at progress are made, or eome
one tries to infuse an up-to-date feeling
in the community's midst..
This feeline of drifting become
chronic In some communities.
Tbe merchant sees no ute of spending
money for advertising, tbeYefor his
goods are one to two yean out of date,
and ills customers seek other atoref
wbile tbe merchant growl and com'
plains of hard and dull times
The property owner becomes Indiffer
ent as to keeping up his buildings, and
tenants avoid him, finding quarter in
new neighborhoods where the houses
are modern and kept In good order,
In a community which simply drifts
along, there is no Impulse to atartaanu
facturing enterprises, for from banker to
laborer, there Is a disposition to let mat
ter take their own course, drift , along
for to be progressive means hustle, a re
investment of money, therefor same
risk, anil for the laboring man It means

: Irregular hours and Indifferent . wage.
Steady and regular boars, a fixed work
with Increased pay ha no attraction for
the drifter, It disturbs and shakes him

A drifting community . keeps no pro
gressive young man at home, for such a
one has no opportunity to advance, he
must leave to preserve himself from be

Years sgo a Mr. Baxter created a

Equally bold, though' doubtless not

pin, cur of lb tillage of Dion, In
France, and author of a book with the
following extraordinary title: Tbe
grand coup or nnlveraal cataclysm will
ravage th world between tb 10th and
21st of September, 1800, according to
tba Scripture. "The prophecies of th
Old and New Testaments compare
with tlioae of tbe fathers and with
the secrets of La Balette, In which Is
foretold the great war which will de
stroy nine-tenth of the human race.
tbe coming of antichrist and . his
reign; .after which tbe church - will
triumph over bcr enemies and the
reign of Christ begin on earth.''. The
author fixed September! 1800, as th
time when the great coup," a be call
ed It, would take place, but ho added
tbat If It did not take place then It
would certainly occur before th close
of 1890.
Tbe appearance of comets ha fre
quently given rise to similar predic
tions. This waa tbe case when tbe fa
tuous comet of 1G80 appeared. Whla
too ascribed tbe deluge to it former
appearance, and such an excitement
did It cause among Jill classes of tbe
people that Bayle wrote a treatise to
prove the absurdity of belief founded
on theso portent. Mme. da Levlgne,
writing at tbe same time, said
L ")'e have a comet of enormous size.
its tall is tb most beautiful object
conceivable. Every person of note la
alarmed and believe that heaven. In
terested In their fate, sends them a
warning in this comet. They say tbat
the courtiers of Cardinal Mazarlo, who
la despaired of by bis physicians, be
lieve this prodigy Is In honor of hi
passing away and tell blm of the ter
ror with which It has Inspired them.
He bad toe sense to laugh at tbem and
to reply facetiously that tbe comet did
blm too much honor.". ; , .
-: M. Camille Flammarlon, tbe distin
guished French astronomer, says on the
same subject: "In this century predic
tions concerning tbe end of the world
have several times been associated
with comets. It was announced that
the comet of Blela, -for example, "W6,rjur1ule jji
intersect the world's orbit on Oct 20,
1832, which did as predicted. There
was great excitement. . Once more tbe
end of things, was declared at hand.
Humanity was threatened. What was

say, the path of the esrtb-bad been
confounded with tbe earth itself.' Tbe
bitter was not to reach tbat point of
Its orbit traversed by tbe comet until
Nov. 30. more than a month after the
comet's passage, aud the latter was at
no-time to be within 20,000,000 leagues
of us. ' Once more we got off with a

In his entertaining book, "La Fin dn

CECIL RHODES' IDEA.
Has Btaasea Per Daellalaa a Drlsk
la tba Earlr Days at Klaibsrlay,
In connection with the foundation of
Cecil B nodes' colossal wealth, there Is
story told by an old fellow miner.
himself lately a colonial minister of
finance, which Illustrates at least one
trait In tbe character of the great
Booth African financier and politician.
During the early days of the Klm-
berley diggings it waa the custom
when a miner found a particularly fine
gem to Invite those about blm to tbe
ceremouy of "wetting tbe stone" L
drinking champagne at tbe finder's
expense, with the Idea tbat It would
bring good luck In the discovery of
another treasure. In- tbe adjoining
claim to tbat first taken np by Mr.
Rhodes, In the very center of the crater
holding tbe precious blue dirt, this In
vitation bsd upon a certain occasion
gone forth, and the men were going
their Way up to the hotel when it was
noticed that Rhodes stood aloof.
"Hello! Come on Rhodes!" shouted
the lucky fluJcr of the gem. "Aren't
you comlug up to 'wet tbe stone' for
good luck?" To which, however, Cecil
Rhodes only shook his head.
'I say, come on, there's a good fel
low," persisted bis neighbor.
"What are you going to do?" asked
Rhodes, looking up.
"Wet tbe stono with champagne, of
course. .
'Well," replied tbe future magnate.
decisively, "I did not come out here to
drink champagne, but to make money,
and then went on with his work.
That Mr. Rhodes ha succeeded in
that purpose,, probably' beyond all
flights of his Imagination, Is now
""matter of history. New Tork Sun.
Both Afflicted.
There came to a young doctor an un
commonly unclean Infant borne In tbe
arms of a mother whose face showed
tbe same abhorrence of soap.- Looking
down upon the child for a moment tbe
doctor solemnly said; -
. "It seems to be suffering from 'hydro
pathic hydrophobia.' ".,
"Oh, doctor. Is It as bad as thntr
cried tbe mother. "That's a big sick
ness for sucb a mite. Whatever sball
I do for the child r . . -
- "Wash Its face, madam," replied tbe
doctor. - "The disease will go off with
"Wash Its face wash Its face, In
deed!" exclaimed tbe mother, losing
her temper. "What next I'd like to
know!V - .i..-
