We all have enough to be cross about. >6till. it isn't a good idea to show it. People like to be called enthusiastic. 4rat bow they hate to be called “gushing." The only difference between the modern family row and that of the older days is that the modern one isn't as big a family. The “good fellow" you slap on the back and tell your troubles to may seem good uatured, but he complains of you to his wife. There is nothing so disappointing as to have one take you aside to tell yot a great secret and then discover that you already know it.—Atchison Globe. r irst Intimation. “How did you find out you could ■draw?" inquired the admirer of the celebrated illustrator. “By the marks I received in school for the excellence anti fidelity of my work," replied the eminent one. “My work was a caricature of my beloved teacher on the blackboard and the marks came from the teacher’s cane." -Cleveland Plain Dealer.

We »‘ m »relai>d. The Westmoreland hills are the remains ot an infinitely older worldfSiw ’ b . l ° f a Breat race autl auces.xj. They have the finish, rhe delicate or noble loveliness-one might almost say the manner- that come/of long and gentle companionship with those chief forces that make for natural beauty, with air and water, with •ain Pe ‘R te • r ll . 8 aUd to ° tains Beside them the Alps are inhuman. the Apennines mere forest grown heap-s. mountains in the making, while all that Scotland gains from the easy enveloping glory of its heather Westmoreland, which is almost heatherless must owe to an infinitude of fine strokes, tints, curves and groupings to touches of magic and to lines of grace, yet never losing the wild energy of precipice and rock that belongs of right to a mountain world.-Mrs. Humphry Ward in Century. A Southern Reminiscence. Tn “A Southern Girl In ’6l" Mrs. D. Giraud Wright describes the burial of the young hero, Latane, one of the most dramatic and touching Incidents in the story of the Confederacy. He died leading a gallant charge. "John Latane, a lieutenant in his brother’s company, took charge of the body and. with a cart and driver, tried to return to Richmond. Finding this impossible, as the enemy were in possession of the country all around, he went to Westwood, the home of Dr. Brokenbrougb, who was then a surgeon in the army. The enemy approached, and he. to avoid capture, was obliged to leave his brother’s remains and escape on foot. Mrs. Brokenbrottgh sent for an Episcopal clergyman to perform the funeral ceremonies, but the enemy would not permit him to pass. Then, with a few other ladles, a fair haired little girl, her apron filled with white flowers, and a few faithful slaves who stood reverently near, a pious Virginia matron read the solemn and beautiful burial service over the cold, still form of one of the noblest gentlemen and most Intrepid officers in the Confederate army. She watched the clods heaped upon the coffin lid, then sinking on her knees, in sight and hearing of the foe, she committed his soul’s welfare and the stricken hearts he had left behind him to the mercy of the All Father.” Eel« In Scotland. Although eels abound in Scotch waters and are caught in great quantities, they are not considered fit food there. No matter how plentiful and how very fine and large they may be in any district of Scotland, no native will eat one. The objection to the eel Is said to be based on its serpent-like appearance and the fact that it is not overfastidious as to what it feeds on. Tons of choice eels for the London market are taken from streams that are not conspicuously free from sewage. Quite Natural. Husband—What did you think when you heard the chandelier fall last night? Wife—'Why, I thought you had been detained on business again and were getting upstairs as quietly as you could. Looking Forward. “Progress is becoming extremely rapid.” “Yes, indeed. In the year 3000 cr so lightning will have to get a move on if It wants to be considered fast.” 1 Lucky Patients. “Did you ever make any mistakes, doctor?” “Well, I’ve had several patients get ■well that I expected would die." Chance is a word void of sense. Noth* Ing can exist without a cause.— .To> taire. ___ _ , r .
