• A liberal patrimony is a decided help to matrimony. The death of the Khedive, who will toe succeeded toy a minor, will furnish England with a fresh pretense for retaining her hold upon Egypt. • . There is no denying that it takes a heap of responsibility off a man's shoulders to take some other fellow’s advice. It gives him a handy place to put the blame if he fails. Most people think they would be happy if they were located anywhere else, forgetting that wherever they go they have to take the cause of their unhappiness with them. When Patti visited Niagara the other day she must have noticed with a thrill of delight that the passing of the years has not affected the voice of the great cataract a particle. There are many people in the West who never tasted really good roast beef. Thousands of cooks do not know how to cook it, and thousands of butchers do not know how to cut it. We never had an ache or a pain when we were little that the grown people did not tell us t<» go to sleep and forget it. We have often won- j dered since that they did not take their own advice. Physicians say that swinging In- j dian clubs and the use of dumbbells is the best thing in the world to de-1 velop the muscles of a young woman’s j arms and shoulders. What is the matter with sweeping and scrubbing? Not merely to know, but according 1 to his knowledge to do, is the destiny of man. Your action alone detef- ! mines your worth; and Carlyle says, ' “The end of man is an action, and not a thought, though it were of the noblest.” Ik a boy wants to do something that he shouldn’t, give him your full i consent to do it. Though he was crazy to do ft on the sly, your permission will take away all his desire. The same rule, it is said, will work with the men. A great many Herns are brought j to this office, and the most vicious arc invariably sent in by women. They are usually slaps at other j women, and generally speak respectfully of the men. Women should j “stand together” more. There are more old people In the world now than there were thirty years ago. The cause is said to be j due to the fact that more people have their decayed teeth extracted and are wearing store teeth. Their digestion is made lx:tier, and they live longer. The frequency of the word “suddenly” In the many death notices of the day Is startling and shocking, even when one is not acquainted with any of those who are taken away. The winter has been one which has brought unexpected grief to many homes. Cmu withdrew and apologized for Malta’s famous note arid heaped upon Matta himself all the social and political honors imaginable. An apology made at the muzzle of a gun is about as sincere as an expression of religious faith extorted, as was once the pleasing custom, on the rack. The only conclusive evidence of a man’s sincerity is that he gives himself for a principle. Words, money, all things else arc comparatively easy to give away; but when a man makes a gift of his dally life and practice it Is plain that the truth, whatever it may be, has taken possession of him.

The Legislature of Michigan has sat down hard on the cigarette demon by making it a misdemeanor punishable by tine to manufacture, sell, or give away cigarettes or paper for making them. About a year from now it will be interesting to have a report on the efficiency of this piece of repressive legislation. The war scare is over now, but at one time the situat ion was exceedingly grave. Some idea of this may be afforded by recalling the fact that the pressure on the columns of the New York Herald was so great one morning as to necessitate the leaving out of that ringing editorial beginning “Never print a paid advertisement,” etc. Europe is now sending to the United States for her ash. oak, and pine lumber. Where will the United States send when the supply is exhausted? The best ash, thought to be almost inexhaustible, is now said to be scarce and oak Is being utilized in its place. The nation of timber killers are not looking out for the interests of the millions to follow to any large extent. Every man in the world has a secret, and his mind hovers around it as constantly as a dog hovers around the spot where he has hidden a bone. He shows it in his face, and usually it-te of the kind that leaves lines in hi* countenance. Live with him long eMNffh, and be will tell you, without kaowing that he is telling you, all about it Sometimes it is an ambition; oftener it is a disappointment, tm is almost every case It is someUung that is concealed because it
