Einrrw.n and the Farmer.
Tts said Kalpl. Waldo Emerson Iient to a farmer whom he knew.
To try experiment upon
And see what nith it he would do, A work of I’lato’s. well translated In good sound Saxon Kindiih prose. Which over books most antiquated Often a charm entrancing throws. The farmer neighbor in the street A few weeks afterward he saw And kindly, pleasantly did greet. True to his heart's benignant law. He asked him then if he did like That book of I’lato’s lie had lent. If aught in it ids mind did strike
Of wisdom or of argument.
The farmer neighbor then replied:
"Yes. Mr. Emerson, indeed
The trutli—it cannot lie denied— 1 look delight that book to read. "That Plato is a man of sense. And lie puts tilings direc tly too. He never stands upon the fence. But -ays outright w hat lie thinks true. “I never read a book which more Bet me to thinking tilings about. Which w ider opened the mind's door Both to look in and to look out.
"Plato not only pleases me.
But does as much surprise as please.
For in a way 1 cannot see
He has got some of my idees."

A pincushion of peculiar and pleasing appearance is thus described in The Delineator, which also illustrates it: The foundation on which this pincushion rests is a silver plated leaf, tho upturned edges of which are bronzed, while tho stem is gracefully curled to form a handle.

A NOVEL PINCUSHION, rests a cushion, the lower portion of which consists of a blue silk bag with a circular bottom. Cardboard shaped to fit the upper portion of the bag is covered with crimped paper, and rising from this is the blue satin covered cushion, into which pins arc thrust. Silk cord is firmly sewed over the meeting of the silk and cardboard, and the result is a novel and useful article for the toilet table. The foundation leaf or similar small trays are on sale at most fancy stores and are inexpensive. Increase of Suicides In Auntrla. The increase iu the number of suicides in Austria, which is stated to have been very marked in the sixties and seventies, fell off iu the 10 years 1880-00. Since the latter date, however, it has again become noticeable. In 1891 tho number of suicides was 872, in the following year it was 908, and last year it reached 1,005.—Loudon Times.
that before the close of the century the trip may be made by ordinary means of transportation in less than 40 days. The journey round the world eastward from London is now made easily in from 06 to 07 C days. This means that in the ordinary course of travel a man may leave London on the 1st of July, and journeying eastward eat his dinner at London about tho 4th or 6th of September. From London to Colombo, Ceylon, is 18 days; from Colombo to HongKong is 14 days; thence, with a probable delay of one day, to Victoria, B. C., is 21 days; across the continent to New York is seven days, and across the Atlantic, with a possible half day’s delay, by the swiftest ships, is six days. This foots up 67 'ij days, and, if the possible 11*5 days’ delay be eliminated, fi6 days. There is always the possibility of some gain in crossing the Pacific, as the ships are oftener early than late, so that an ordinarily lucky voyage might be made as low as 66 days. All this presupposes that the traveler takes ordinary means of transportation and asks no special favors. Should steamship companies and governments co-operate to forward him he might accomplish the journey in two or three days less. The best known tourist company sends travelers round the world in from 65 to 70 days at an expense of about (900. This means ex-
take to dine iu London on the first day in any mouth between May and November, girdle tho globe and dine again in London on the last day of the same
month.
The journey round the world is still perhaps it serious undertaking, but is no longer an uncommon one. All sorts of persons tire making it, and many have gone round the world three or four times. Englishmen employed iu China and Japan frequently make their visits home to England by way of the United States and return eastward from England to their posts. Americans are gradually becoming the great travelers of the world, and it frequently happens that an American’s first trip abroad is a tour of the world. In making such a journey at leisure tho traveler encounters fewer sudden and violent changes of climate than one might suppose. American travelers seem to prefdr the westward journey round the world. Leaving borne iu early autumn, they pas- through Japan before the cold weather sets in, see India in December aud January, Egypt in February, southern Europe in the early spring, and England or France in the late spring and early summer. The traveler eastward from London ordinarily starts in late autumn, passes the winter in the tropics of Africa and Asia, reaches Japan in the spring, crosses the American con-
actly (666 for tho round the world tinent before the heats of midsummer
ticket, (25 extra for sleeping car berths and (8 per day for food and trifling extras. The trip is thus made luxuriously. It might be cheapened by an economical
traveler.

THE bAY’S BREVITIES. Ohio miners arc rtrin but less threatening. Congressional investigation of armor plate frauds has begun. Captain Evans of Kelly’s army is under bond at (inincy. Ills , on a charge of stealing a watch. Pennsylvania Republicans nominated General I). H. Hastings for governor on the usual platform. Senator Kyle introduced resolutions declaring against the use of I’nited States forces in restoring the deposed queen of the Sandwich islands. Alabama Democrats indorse Cleveland's administration, favor silver coinage when it can Ik- done consistently and urge speedy reform of the tariff. Helen Monroe, daughter of a wealthy manufacturer in Marble Head, Mass., began suit in Chicago against Charles W . Pickier, with whom she eloped two years ago, for desertion. The Bimetallic league meeting in Washington adjourned after pledging members to vote for congressmen who are unalterably in favor of free coinage of gold and silver and will vote for no one for president, in case election is thrown into the house, who is not in favor of such coinage.

to the western coast of the American continent. The greater part of the journey round the world can then be made by rail instead of by water, and the time may easily lie reduced to less than 40 days. The journey from London to St. Petersburg is now made in 60 hours. The journey by rail across the Russian empire to Vladivostok etui be made in not more than 14 days, and the sea trip from Vladivostok to the shores of America ought to be made in eight or ton days, while the trip across the Amer-

Chicago I’roKH Cluba.
In no city probably are newspaper men better organized than in Chicago. The Chicago Press club was established 14 years ago, Franc B. Wilkie, then I chief assistant of Wilbur F. Storey, being its founder aud first president. ! None but working newspaper men, i “who have themselves forged the key to j unlock its doors, ’’ as someone has said, I are allowed to be members. The publishers of tho ('hicago papers have a i Daily Newspaper association, which ; holds monthly meetings for the consumption of a lunch and the settlement of such questions of business policy as j all agree should be treated uniformly by all the papers. The Whitechapel club is another organization of newspaper men which has gained wide notoriety.
