The Victim of Breeches.

AH kinds of philanthropic Societies have been instituted for doing this and undoing that, from preventing the vigorous chastisement of the obstreperous mule to elevating the pie-makers of our ' land to be law-makers of the same, but there is still much need of more missionary work of similar character; and other societies not yet dreamed of will have to be organized before the world can buckle right down and do its level best in spinning toward the grand perfection for which it is destined. We have societies for sending teaspoons to people who wear them run through slits in their ears and noses when they get them, for lack of knowing what else to do with them, and we have societies for guessing at this and contradicting that, but we have no organization devoted to formulating a code of ethics from the condition of a boy’s legs; and, as previously intimated, the world will never whoop itself aright, or make headway as she should, until somebody takes this abstruse problem by the neck and drags it out into the sunlight of science, and figures it down to a mathematical certainty that a boy’s character begins with his legs, and develops according to pantaloons and other circumstances. Hitherto the head has been regarded as the solum bolum of a boy’s capabilities, but the time has come when the breeches must be taken into consideration also, if we would have our sons go forward in life’s rugged race with power to hoof it with ease and gladness. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that a boy with pantaloons that make him feel like a fallen angel with a broken wing will inevitably make him a scape-goat or a hopeless, gloomy child of toil, too much soured to enjoy the smell of trees in bloom. A boy with breeches that pitch him over backward or stand him on his head whenever he tries to run, is liable to grow up with no higher ambition than running a saw-mill or going to Congress, and the chances are that he will* get reckless and blow foam from the beer mug before his wisdom teeth are cut. There is clamorous need for a society that will make it a penal offense to so bandage a boy’s legs that he will crop out into a villain sooner or later, in spite of all the angelic blood in him. Sunday-schools and parental example are well enough in their way; but so long as a boy has no more liberty of movement, between the knees and shoulder-blades,, than a chicken in the shell, the depressing influence of the stove-pipe arrangements on his legs will react upon his character in spite of all that can be done, and we need an organization that will see about this thing before it is everlastingly too late. From the time a boy’s legs are long enough to break he ceases to be a free moral agent, and becomes the victim of breeches. His status in after life may all depend upon the fit of his first pants, and a fearful responsibility therefore belongs to the architect of that important garment. If he grows up to be wise and good, it is because he has not been reared in pantaloons so diabolically ill-shaken that he couldn’t step anywhere but in the broad road leading to evil. If he goes to the bad, it is more than probable that his starting impulse was a pair of breeches constructed by his mother in the blind zeal of imperative economy, and who, having nothing else handy, used one end of a sawbuck for a pattern. Bear a boy in baggy trousers, and the chances are that he will develop into a slouch and become a henpecked husband or a hardshell Baptist preacher. Bring him up in tight ones, and he will become deceitful and churlish, dropping into politics as naturally as young ducks •take to water. Have them too short, and he will become round-shouldered and timid, and most likely become an editor with hunger for his , bed-fellow and hard times for a playmate. If they are too long, with legs tucked into boot tops, nothing but a very attentive guardian angel and lack of opportunity can prevent his blossoming into a full-blown rowdy, with red hair on his lip and bad words in his mouth. Many a poor boy with infinite possibilities for good somewhere about him has been sent to the chaingang, we make no doubt, by a misguided mother who blighted his life with her needle. In her goodness of heart she thought she was doing something grand and saving a dollar at the same time, when the boiled-down truth about the matter is, that breeches of her construction would have made the prophet Jeremiah steal eggs. We are glad to know that the tailoring business, and the consequent power for evil, is being taken out of the hands of the boy’s mother, and that the custom of putting,store-made garments on the hope of Israel is constantly growing and waxing more so. It is an indication that the next generation will be wiser and better, and every man with -a heart not made of leather will throw up his hat and bless his eyebrows that his own boy will not have to suffer what he went through in the “little breeches” period of life. — Chicago Ledger.

Making Cigarettes.

“How many cigarettes can a girl make in a day?” was asked of a manufacturer. “That depends upon how nimble her fingers are. A smart, quick girl can make about 2,500. The pay is from 70 to 80 cents per 1,000, according to the grade of cigarette made. There are very few girls who can make more than 2,000 per day. Making the cigarettes looks easy enough, but if you should try it you would find it very hard and tedious. When a girl goes to her work-in the morning she receives a small bundle of papers and two and a quarter pounds of tobacco, A small piece of extra heavy paper is used in rolling a cigarette. One edge is pasted fast to a piece of marble or smooth, flat stone about one foot square that is on a table. A stick about a foot in length and about as thick as a match is used to*paste with. The paste is made of pure starch and water. The cigarette paper is laid on the hiavy paper, and a small quantity of tobacco is put on it. ' Then the edge of the heavy paper is turned over, and by sliding the flat of the hand over it, the cigartete is rolled. Then the paste stick is run over one edge of the cigarette paper, and one more-roll completes

the cigarette. After the ends are cut off it is ready for the trade. “Great care must be used when rolling and pasting, for if any were pasted crooked or soiled in any manner, or made too hard Or too soft, the 1,000 would be returned to the maker, who would have to make them over again. This happens very often, and is a loss of several hou'rs to the maker. There may be plenty of enjoyment in smoking cigarettes, but there is none in making them.”— New York Sun.

Flour Dust and Coal Dust.

Explosions in flour-mills have had in numerous instances a well-ascertained cause in the presence of an impalpable dust floating in the interior of the mill. This dust, mixed with heated air in confined and unventilated spaces, has taken fire, whether from a match carelessly struck, from a lamp, pr from sparks emitted by the machinery, and when thus ignited has proved as destructive as gunpowder. But the theory that a similar cause may exist for explosions in collieries is a comparatively new one, and owes its rise to the marked resemblance between flourmill explosions—notably those which occurred at Minneapolis some time ago —and the disasters of like character which so often take place in coal mines, and are attended with such peculiar and distressing fatality. The suggestion of an identity of cause in these two classes of casualties has led to numerous experiments in England and on the continent of Europe; and the results have been such as to lead to a well-defined belief that coal dust, instead of the carbureted hydrogen gas commonly known as fire-damp, is the principal source of colliery explosions. It was found that the dust of certain kinds of coal was highly explosive, while that of other varieties showed less liability, and some none at all, but that even where fire-damp was the chief source of the disaster it was greatly aggravated by the presence of coal dust. The experiments were made by English, French, and Prussian scientists, and the English and Prussian reports agree substantially in the conclusion that coal dust is the principal agency in colliery explosions. So generally is this view adopted in England that a Coroner’s jury, in their verdict upon the Usworth mine explos'.on, by which some forty lives were lost, declared it as their opinion that “the explosion was caused by a shot, the fire of which acted upon the coal dust and a small percentage of gas.” The French observers are inclined to doubt whether coal dust alone is liable to explode, however fine or highly heated; but they admit that it increases the destructive effects of a fire-damp explosion.

W. D. Howells.

Another Boston author now widely known is William Dean Howells. Though claimed by Boston to-day, he in reality is a gift to the world of Ohio. Born in that State and. educated there, he began life as a printer in his father’s newspaper office, and set type at the case. Later he was United States Consul at Venice, and at present makes his home in this city, having lately moved into town from a cottage that he built a few years ago at Belmont. His residence is on the Back Bay, and is only a few doors from the Holmes House, on the water side of Beacon street, and his library windows command exactly the same view of Charles River and Cambridge that those of his poet neighbor do. The general appearance of Mr. Howells is described as follows: The face is round and full, clean shaven, except for a heavy mustache. Though fully as old as Aldrich, Howells has an exceedingly youthful appearance. A pleasant talker, putting himself at once in sympathy with whomever he converses, Mr. is both entertaining and jMPght, and has none of the peculiar eccentricities that were once supposed to be indulged in by every author of fiction or poet of renown. Short in stature, being hardly of the average height, inclined to stoutness, yet being far from noticeably so; his hair is dark, straight and closely cut, and his eyes, black at evening, but blue-gray during the day, are large and expressive, and express the varied thoughts that lurk in the hidden recesses of the busy brain. Meet Howells on the street, as one is apt to do any pleasant afternoon, apd you would consider him a successful young banker, for in dress the popular young novelist is fastidious, without being in the least foppish, and the face is that of a contented, well-to-do man of business.— Boston Cor.

Wise Words.

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered. Experience holds the first mortgage on human wisdom. In the meanest hut is a romance, if you know the hearts there. It is always safer to displease a few than to try to satisfy many. Alittle real earnestness in our work would accomplish wonders, but, alas I we are seldom in earnest. A man should live with his superiors as he does with his fire—not too near, lest he burn, not too far, lest he freeze. i . Just thoughts and modest expectations are easily satisfied. If we don't overrate our pretensipns all will be well. Surely the church is a place where one day’s truce ought to be allowed to the dissensions and animosities of mankind.

A Farmer’s Daughter.

Sunday School Teacher-—ln what book of the Bible is it mentioned that Nebuchadnezzar, ate grass like an ox? Little Girl (doubtfully)—Timothy.— Exchange. Lightning does its work before the victim knows anything. Two men were struck while taking refuge under a tree. Both were carried into the house and laid out sor 1 dead. One of the men revived, and, after terrific suffering and infirmity, he got out again, and is still living. He said he knew no more about having been struck by lightning than he was conscious of having lived before the flood. It was all news to him when he .was told of the fact.

Saying and Doing.

What is my opinion of saying and not doing ? It is a fault as universal as speech, , and it has done an incalculable amount of injury. The child learns it from its parents and hands it down to all posterity, so that it may be called an inherited blemish of character. The mother will tell her child she will do thus and thus if it does not do so and so, and the kid finds out, after one or two trials, that the mother is indulging in an allowable variety of mild lying, and, besides presuming upon that to do as it pleases, adopts it as a part of its early training, and in after years uses it as it has been taught to do. This habit has become so common among all classes that, in the rare cases where a person does or does not as he says once that he will, it is productive of all sorts of trouble. For instance, a man tells another that if he does not return promptly a certain sum of money he has borrowed, the will never let him have any mote. The borrower, presuming upon the universal practice, delays a day, or two or three, and comes up smiling, to make good the loan, for he is honest and will pay. He feels that he has done the fair thing, and is sure that the lender didn’t mean what he said, because nobody ever is that particular, etc. In a few days he may need another loan, and, of course, goes to. the same friend to procure it. Then the friend, doing what he has said plainly that he would, is roundly abused, not only by the bor- ’ rower but by the borrower’s friends, and the general opinion of all is that the lender should have impressed the borrower with the fact that he could get no money from him, and so prevented the poor borrower from getting into trouble.* All around in similar cases we hear the cry of those who are struck: “Yes, I know you said so, but I never thought you would do it. ” People make all sorts of threats about what they will or will not do, but those threatened laugh softly, and go right ahead, doing as they please; for they know that it will all end in mere talk, and it generally does. Even in ordinary every-day matters a person repeats a half-dozen or more times that he will do a thing, because he lacks confidence in himself, and he feels that he must brace up both sides by emphatic asseverations. Once saying a thing very seldom counts, and' it is usually given no attention. When the one-time-counts man does get a chance, though, and he stands fast to his word, he at once is given a character, and he is singled out from all his fellows as a person whom it will not do to fool with. He is not emphatic in words, but he is in action, and one act is worth more than a million words. The fault lies with parents, and if they taught their children the one-time theory, and brought them up to its practice, there would be more confidence among men, and the adage “his word is as good as his bond” would no longer be one of the landmarks of our language. As it now stands, one must go before a notary and make affidavit in order to properly emphasize his statements; in other words, people have become such spontaneous and handy liars that a fortysent affidavit is necessary to make them believed. Things have come to a pretty pass, indeed, under this rule of careless speech, and we need reform. P. 8. —I wish it understood by the readers of the foregoing that I have been duly sworn, and what I have said means business.—Mrs. Brown, in Merchant Traveler.

How Queen Bess Ate.

A reader of “Kenilworth” is apt to grow enthusiastic over the days of “good Queen Bess” and her brilliant court. If, however, he wishes to know bow thoroughly Scott’s magic pen has bewilded him, let him read any history which reveals the style in which the Queen and her court lived. The serving was of the roughest kind. Huge joints of meat were brought to the table on the roasting spits. The carver held the meat with one hand while he cut it with the other, and the guests helped themselves with their fingers. After eating what they wished, they ‘threw the remnants to the dogs and eats under the table. There were no forks with which to take up the meat and no plates to hold it. Huge slices of bread served for plates, and were called trenchers. These became soaked withgravy, and were often eaten with relish; if left, they were gathered in a basket and given to the poor. The furnishing of the immense palaces corresponded with the rudeness of the tables. The rooms were large and lofty, but uncarpeted, with nothing better than rushes. The furniture was scanty, indicating little taste in style of execution, and the great rooms looked bare and cheerless. The homes of New England mechanics to-day are far more comfortable than the palace of the great English Queen. Yet they did a great deal of good work in those days of rude living. It was the brilliant age of English literature and statesmanship. There was much “high thinking” then, showing that the mental and moral causes are more operative on men than physical causes.

Trying an Experiment.

A prominent Houston journalist recently applied, for the fifth or sixth time, to a wealthy friend for a tempo-, rary loan. “Don’t you know,” was the reply, “that it is very painful to be • lending money ?” i “No, I didn’t know that,” replied the journalist; “I never did anything of the kind in my life, but if you will let me have S2O, 11l lend some feller a nickel just to see if what you say is so.”— Texas Siftings. e. —-. a Don’t forget to smile 1 Even a grin discounts a long face in the world’s eye.Z J Smile in adversity, dark days; when your wits’ ends are«warped out of all shape and your nerves exhausted, make at least a showing.

He recommends its use in every household.

Cost of Government Buildings.

The cost of the principal Government buildings in Washington has been as follows: Treasury Department building, $7,158,354; ’ National Museum, $200,000; Postoffice Department, $2,151,500; Printing Office, $296,000; Marine Barracks, $339,630; Naval Hospital, $116,035; State, War, and Navy building, $7,628,925; Agricultural Department, $501,825; Smithsonian Institution, $492,531; National Monument, $1,100,000; Naval Observatory, $255,264; Patent Office, $3,245,775; United States Capitol, about $16,000,000. The Court House cost $275,152, the money for which was raised’ by a lottery, which was drawn in Alexandria, Va. The princely prize was SIO,OOO, and, though it was a semiGovernment affair, it was never paid the holder of the lucky ticket.

The Honest Gambler.

I suppose the story is as old as the hillt, but it is just Tas funny to-day as it was years ago whan it happened on the Mississippi boat, in the days when gambling was at its height. An old poker sharp had stuffed four aces in his boot for an emergency. Another expert tw gged the movement and equally gracefully removed them for his own use. The moment arrived and the poker sharp dived down into the leathern recess. The cards were gone. “Hold on!” said he, raising his hands to stop the game. “There’s been cheating here.”—San Francisco Chronicle.
