It coats 25, 000,000 yearly to govern London with 4,500,000 population. Brazil has a prohibitory tariff on land-organs and monkeys. The Emperor ot Austria has given order's that Ma son's name shall never be spoken again in his hearing. The library of the British Museum Trill not hereafter supply novels to readers until five years after publication. Two negro ks have been seized with leprosy in Elberton, Ga. One has turned white, while the other lias broken out in spots. President Harrison's typewriter, Miss Sanger, is said to be the first woman ever employed at the. White House in a clerical capacity. Samuel Conors, of Boston, while leaning against a rail in his grain mill, began sneezing, and sneezed so hard lie dislocated his shoulder'

A hotel at Greenville, Me., on Moosehead Luke, is said to be the only one in the world that serves trout on its table every meal in the year. Col. Waskbctrn, the new Minister to Switzerland, is not only said to be the handsomest roan in Massachusetts, but he is something of a poet as well The Texas umbrella tree ia becoming a favorite for shade purposes in California. It is not only shaped like an umbrella, but there is no tme of the year when it doesn't leave. Joaquin Miller has been appointed bv Gov. Waterman a member of the California Forestry Commission. The poet has taken great interest in the preservation of California's forests.

Senator Stanford, of California, has sent his cheek for $5,000 1o the committee in Boston engaged i:i raising a fund of $100,000 for Mrs. Philip H. Shoridan, widow of the late General. President Harrison dislikes to wear gloves when walking, preferring, when the weather is cold, to thrust his bare hands into his overcoat pockets for warmth. He never wears a frock overcoat.

Ex-Secretart Vila3 and ex-Postmaster General Don M. Dickinson have been on a still-hunt among- New York capitalists for money with which to undertake some enormous enterprises in the West Among seme eld papers in London, recently, a genuine likeness of John Banyan as he appeared in his prison cell at Bedford has just been discovered, for which the owner demands 1,000 guineas. A Western agricultural paper has proposed a national potato contest for women. If the aim is to induce women to cultivate potato patches instead of their flower gardens the contest will probably fail. Gottlei3 von Ballerstrom, a San Francisco bootblack much given to painting the town, but who always claimed he was of noble extraction, has fallen heir to $500,000 by the death of a relative in Germany. The first metrical work produced in this country is said to have been a translation by George Sandys, colonial secretary of Virginia, of Ovid's Metamorphoses." It was prepared in 1621, and was printed in London in 1626. Miss Sallie Burnett, of Hazleton, Ind., who recently administered a terrible horsewhipping to a young man who had traduced her character, is recommended by the Bloomington Pantagraph for Superintendent of the Males. The mortality of the Chinese reading in New York is greater, in proportion to their number, than that of any other race, though most of them, says the New York Sun, eat American food. They are apt to find that the climate is rather hard upon them. A New York burglar got into a genuine pickle the other day. Officers discovered that some one was feloniously at work in a butcher shop, but after they had entered could not find the man until they looked in a pork barrel, where they discovered him up to his neck in briae. A prosperous soap agent, who has a a fine residence on the Hudson, writes to his wile every day. She keeps the envelope in a scrap book, which shows where her husband was on any particulay day for years back. This is probably the only device yet heard of by which a ife could keep tab on a drummer husoand. Them's nothing small about Texas, geographically at least It has one county fchat is larger than the combined

States of Massachusetts and Connecticut When the scholars in the public schools are called upon to name the 264 counties in the State the teacher always divides the exercise with recess and then adjourns for the day. The fine compact sand which gives such firm footing upon the beach at Anastasia, Fla., is scarcely half an inch in depth. Below it lies a bed of loose, broken shell. Under the microscope a pinch of this debris from the ocean bottom is transformed into a myriad of grottoes, towers, and minarets, built of glittering crystals and gems of every hue. The Marchioness of Granby wore at Queen Victoria's last reception the dress in which her husband's great-grandmother, the "beautiful" Duchess of Rutland, was married in 1775. It '' as a white and gold brocade woven in a design of roses and leaves. With it the Marchioness wore a train of heliotrope velvet and some of Nell Gwynne's jewels in the shape of a splendid diamond coronet and a pearl necklace, with uncut ruby clasp. An old lady living in Portland, Me., offered for sale to an agent, of one of the Vanderbilts ten years ago, a painting by one of the old masters, an heirloom, which straightened circumstances compelled her to part with. The price asked was $300, and the agent was instructed to offer her that sum per annum for the work as long as she might live, the painting not to be taken from her until after her death. She is now 80 years old and still drawing the i&OQ a year. Amoxg the hereditary jewels belonging to Duke of Cumberland are Queen Charlotte's pearls, valued at $750,000, about which, for twenty years, Queen Victoria and the Hanoverian King quar

reled with majesterial dignity. The Queen maintained they belonged by right to England. The King insisted they should have been sent to Hanover in i837f on the death oi William IV. The other jewels belonging to the Duke are valued .at $2,000,000. His gold and silver plate weighs twelve tons. The Rev. T, De Witt Talmage, in a late sermon, gave this explanation of what Bob Ingersoll calls "tho whale story": "And as to Jonah remaining alive in the monster's belly for three days, why, the fact is, the gastric juice had no chance Jonah kept bobbin around so. And what more natural than that the monster should al ter this regurgitate Jonah on shore? The sea monster was as tired of Jonah as he was of the fish. There's not the leant bit of improbability or impraciicability about it There are at present some two thousand women employed in drug stores throughout the country. When the Women's School of Pharmacy was first organized in Louisville there were but two women engaged in the business, and both of these were hi the laboratory of one of the professors. Duiing the last term more applications for graduates to fill responsible positions in drug stores or laboratories of manufacturing chemists have been received at the Louisville school than the total number which the school has graduated since its commencement. The loss of the Parisian syndicate which undertook to control the price of copper is now estimated at about $30,000,000. It is believed that all the heavy investors in the speculat ion are, from a financial standpoint, ruined individuals. The original paid-up capital and reserve of the Comptoir d'Escompte is swept away, and with that amount the private means of the company are invaded to the tune of $20,000,000. Cornering the market upon the prime necessities of life is not only a vicious 'and demoralizing business, but it is also most liable to be in the end a disastrous one to the operators. The Chinesse Minister at Washington expends more money in telegrams and cable dispatches than the Government of the United States. It communicating with the Chinese Government he makes use of a cipher, but as his dispatches cost $4 a word his bill 3 are enormous. His expenditures in telegraphing reach an average of $1,000 a week. One day recently he spent $2,000 in sending dispatches to China regarding the Milwaukee riots. His caole messages to China go to Havre, from there to Aden, then across the Arabian Sea, through Hindestan and Siam, to Pekin. An old Dutch doctor named Sturfle Setzer, who lived in Franklin County, Ga., was the subject of a strange visitation. His house was situated about half a mile from the graveycrd, out of which a brilliant light would rise night after night, and, passing over the tree tops, settle over his house and remain stationary for a time, when it would again rise above the trees and giweep through the air in the direction from whence it came and sink into the earth

I at the graveyard. On the night of

Setzer's death it shone more brilliantly than ever before it hovered over the house for a long time, and ias the dying man drew his last breath it arose in the air, and, like a flaming meteor, moved swiftly to the graveyard, sunk into the earth, and was never seen again. There we many who witnessed this strange phenomenon and saw the blazing specter on the very night diat the old Dutch doctor died.

KiaiPLY AS IT HAPPENED. Tile Komautio Story of a Young French Couple. A young married man of Lyons fell in love with a young married womwi. They met secretly, adored each other, and agreed to ily together to put the seas between themselves and their families. But there was a slight difficulty in the way. They had little money for a long journey, and they wanted to be far, far away in Amorica for choice. Then an idea came to the man that they would take their small capital of a few hundred francs and go to Monte Carlo and make it into a fortune a fortune which would enable them to live in peace and plenty on the far-off shore. So it came that one day, with a small box and a portmanteau, the fugitives arrived at Monte Carlo and put up in a little hotel where for eight francs a day yon can have bed and board. They had only a few hundred francs with them. In the letter which they had left behind they explomed that from the first their arrangements were complete. They foresaw the possibilities of the situation. They would play until they had Avon enough to go to America or they would lose all. And if they lost all they would die together and give their friends no further trouble about them. They were a few days only in Monte Carlo. They risked their louis only a few at a time, and spent the remainder of the days and evening? in strolling about the romantic glades and quiet pathways of the beautiful gardens whispering together of love and looking into each other's eyes. The end came quickly. One evening they went up in the soft moonlight to the fairyland of Monte Carlo. They entered tiie Casino. They had come to their last few golden coins. One by one th e croupier's remors el ess rake swept them away, ami then the lovers went out of the hot, crowded rooms, out from the glare of the chandeliers and the swinging lamps into the tender moonlight again. Down "the Staircase of Fortune" arm in arm they went, along the glorious marble terraces that look upon the sea, on to where at the foot of the great rock on which Monaco stands there lies the Condamine. It was their last walk together. Te lovers were going home to die. That night, in some way which I was unabb to ascertain, the guilty and ruined man and woman obtained some charcoal and got it into their bedroom. They then closed the windows and doors and prepared for death. They wrote a letter a letter which an official assured me was so touching that as he read it in the room where they lay dead the foars ran dawn his cheeks. Then the givl she was but a girl dressed herself in snowy white and placed in her breast a sweet borpiet of violets. Then the charcoal was lighted and the lovers laid themselves out for death, side by side, and passed dreamily into sleep, from sleep to death, and from death to judgment. It is not a moral story, it is not a new story. I have told it simply as it happened. George li. Situs, in London Referee. Some Reflections. "The moment we begin to live we then begin to die ;" and the moment we are fit to die we do die, and sometimes one moment sooner. A good name when deserved gives a strength and mild courage, quiet boldness and modest assurance which are worth all they cost. The man that will beg or steal so small a sum as $5 is a somewhat smaller fool than I expected to lind in your family. What view must we take of the perse cutions which befall us from the blundering misapprehensions of others relating to our intentions? It is worth while to expose our ignorance to others, that we may learn it ourselves. This is many times the only way wre shall ever learn it. A person shows his standard of character by the standard he holds for others. Often he knows no higher standard than those among whom he lives. There is a certain likeness, or unlikeness, between my neighbor any myself; he does not know enough to be honest and I do not know enough to be dishonest. In this lone world, where friends at best are but few, and in old age, when of those lew almost all are dead, the sinking of one more is like the loss of a limb or an eye. It never can be restored. For the most pari, what is commonly called "company" will refrain from visit-, ing us just as soon as we cease to make sacrifices on their behalf of time, convenience, dress, money, or flattery. It is ours, not us, they generally desire. One of the most trvinor cases of selfdenying responsibility is when we must take an active part against the passions or interests of others, in order to prevent evils from falling on them which they do not see nor ever will see, or in order to secure benefits, perchance, for themselves which thev will never apect to have arisen from these efforts of ours. We are doomed for ever to rest

under the imputation, in tlieir minds, of exercising needless severity. New York Star.

posures and overwork and risks, Pgocavimus! We have all sinned, But well make the best of it. The beast is foundered, but his rider is safe, and waiting for the tide of health to turn. His lien is yet on the great outside world still Bending tributes in to him glimpses of blue sky, a ripple of laughter from a jolly robin, the breath of a midsummer idyl mingling roses and new-mown hay.

! how he accounted for his wonderful

memory, and if he had ever done anything to strengthen it. He replied : "I hud a regular method, and I hit upon one that was very effective. I will tell you about it for the benefit of other young men. I got married in 1818, when I was working in Albany as a journeyman printer. In a few months I went into business, establishing a newspaper for myself, and some of my friends thought I was 'cut out for a politician' that is, I probably impressed my views strongly on those about me. But I saw at once a fatal weakness. My memory was a sieve. I could remember nothing. Dates, name, appointments, faces everything escaped me. I said to my wife, 'Catherine, I shall never make a successful politician, for I cannot remember, and that is a piime necessity of politicians. A politician who sees a mau once should remember him forever.' My wife told me that I must train my memory. So when I came home that night I sat down alone and spent fifteen minutes trying silently to recall the events of the dav. I could remember little at first; now I remember that I could not then remember what I had for breakfast. Finally I found I could recall more. Events came back to me more minutely and more accurately. After a fortnight or so of this, Catherine said, Why don't you tell it to me? It would be interesting, and my interest in it would stimulate you.' Then I began a habit of oral confession, as it were, which I followed for almost fifty years. Every night, the last thing before retiring I told my wife everything that I could recall that happened to me or about me during the day. I generally recall the verv dishes I had had for breakfast, dinner, and tea; the people I had seen and what thev had said; the editorials I had written, and an abstract of them ; aud letters I had sent and received, and the very language used as near as possible; when I had walked or ridden everything, in short, that had come within niv knowledge. I found I could sav mv lessons better and better every year, and instead of growing irksome, it got to be A. pleasure to run the events of the day in review. I am indebted to this discipline for a memory of somewhat unusual tenacity, and I recmmend the practice to all who expect to have anything to do with influencing men."

Make the Best of It When Yon tat Sick. "I have sinned against my brother, the ass, confessed a pious old monk, when his under-fed, over-flogged body refused to budge for him. Make you the same confession, Tom. You trudged through miles of mud-puddle yesterday, and then gave yourself no rubbing down and dry stabliug. Now you wonder where you got that confounded cough. And you, Dick, who spurred your tired eyes open night after night, in a final spurt for the essay prize, if you had listened, as Balaam did to his animal, when you heard that noise in your head, you wouldn't be tied down to a cot with nervous prostration. As for you, Harry, poor lad ! we all have to risk lame legs in taking a leap. Many a brave runner draws in his breath with the exultation of youth, feeling the glow of strength through all his veins, runs blithely forward, and lands in a heap as you did. Make he best of it. All the old Dicks and Toms and Harrys are in the same plight, with their ex-

Extent or Knowledge Now. Here is an old story in point, illustrating conditions: A certain man, a sort of scientist after his fashion, found an insect which in his crude way he could at once determine to be a beetle. But he wished to know just what kiud of a beetle that particular one happened to be, or in other words to find out its name. So, like a good and patriotic citizen, he referred it to a specialist

just as a sensible mining engineer with a broken leg would c all in the advice cf a surge-on. He went to a friend aud said : "Here is a beetle. Now you are an entomologist; please tell me what that is." "Oh, no," said the referee, "I am not an entomologist." "Not an entomologist? Why I thought that was your line." "No; I only wish I were," he said, sadly. "Well, what are you? What do you call a beetle sharp a coleopterist?" "No," he said, modestly, and with a depreciatory air, "no, I'm not a coleopterist. If you insist on knowing, I might claim (now brightening up) to be a searabjeist; that is, you know, altogether different from being a regular coleopterist." It is not so long ago that a single great mind, like that of Humboldt, could take in at a single comprehensive glance almost the sum oJ: human knowledge. There can bo uo Humboldt now. Engineering and Mining-Journal. To Fortell Frost. For the benefit of farmers Gen. Greely gives the following simple and definite method by which in clear, cool weather, near the period of early or late frosts, a person may determine with considerable accuracy if frosts will occur the following night: "The aproach of local frost can be fortold with very considerable accuracy from the readings of properly exposed dry and wet thermometers. A safe and simple rule to follow when the temperature is at 50 degrees or below is to multiply the difference between the thermometers by 2.5, and when the sum thus obtained is subtracted from the reading of the dry thermometer, it leaves the approximate degree to which the temperature of the air will fall the coming night, unless change of wind to a moister quarter or increase of cloudiness interferes. The value aud importance of observations, of this kind have not been sufficiently impressed upon farmers cultivating crops of a kind susceptible to frost and capable of protection." It may be stated in this connection that the "wet thermometer," mentioned above, is an instrument the bulb of which is kept moist by its contact with a bit of lampwick fed from a small reservoir of waser, A Question of loom. I declare," said Noah, as he wiped! the perspiration from his brow, "we're going to be cramped for room ! I don't know where we're going to put all these animals." "Boss," suggested the elephant and the mastodon, both of whom were switching their tails viciously, "why not leave out tho flies and mosquitoes? They take up more room than we do,: Harperst

A Tireless Worker. Sir Walter Scott's career illustrates the ral 16 of hard work, even of drudgery, in early life jus a preparation for activity and productiveness when tho powers are matured. Sott had an aversion to the mechanical act of writing. His apprenticeship at the law helped him to overcome that aversion, for he was obliged day alter day to copy dry law papers. The drudgery of copying declarations, pleas, replications, rejoinders and surrejoindeis, rebutters and surrebutters, made him f acile in the us: of the pen, and cultivated the dogped patience which no labor could irritate. He himself tells us that once during his apprenticeship he wrote 150 folio pages without an interval for food or rest. When he became an author, the habits formed during his apprenticeship enabled him to turn out an amount of work, year after year, which seemed almost incredible. The author of "Walter Scott at Work," published in Scrib'tier's, says : "In the year 1814 alone he wrote nearly the whole of the 'Life of Swift,' the second and third volumes of 4Waverley 'The Lord of the Isles, two essays for the sup2lement to the 'Encyclopedia llritanuica,' the introduction and notes to the 'Memorie of the Somervilles,' annotations to a reprint of 'Rowland's Letting Off the Humors of Blood in the Head Vefc 1,611, and kept up an unstinted correspondence with his fiieuds; and all this literary activity was interrupted by a two months' vcyago to the Hebrides, and by constant attention to the financial perplexities of the Ballantyne press and publishing house." Will, energy, patience, method, and an industry which never permitted him "to do nothing," enabled him to write "Guy Maruering" in six weeks, the second and third volumes of "Waverly" in tw enty-four days, and the first volume of "Woodstock" in fifteen, days. He did not wait for "inspiration," nor did he idle away the time between "inspirations." Before breakfast one morning he finished "Anne of Geierstein after breakfast he began his compendium of Scottish history. The greater part of "Ivanhoe" and of "The Bride of Lammermoor" was dictated during an illness, the pains of which set him "roaring like a bull-calf." Laidlaw, his amanuensis, begged him to stop dictating. "Nay, Willie," replied the sick man, "only see that the doers are fast. I would fai:a keep all the cry as all the wool to ourselves; but as to giving over work, that can only be done when I am in woollen." Youth's Compare ion. Legends from the Far North. Strange legends hover over these regions ; the mountains were trolls (giants), who at one time had been courting, and who, when rejected or when driven to jealousy, pursued each ether, rolled mighty rocks-upon each ether, or hurled tbem over each other's path, and ended by being enchanted into stone themselves by some mightier trolls. These legends are immense, as if they treated about folding the cfry of New Ycrk together with a carpet, carrying it off across the Atlantic, and unfolding it again upon the plains of Normancly, without a bouse, a chi'd, or a cup be:.ng broken on the way. These regions had at one time a poet, Peter Dass (contracted from the Scotch Dundas), who died in 1708. He described in original verses this part of Norway Nordland arid the love and the imagination of the people have clung to him to such a degree that now the worthy Nordland clergyman is to them as a giant of Solomon's height in the tales of the East. He tied down the devil as yon would bind and tame a dog. Satan was always at his beck and call, and had to bring him everything he wished for and to carry him wherever he wanted to 50. One Christmas Eve Peter Dass sailed on a millstone down to the Ring of Denmark, where he was right royally entertained, but next day he delivered hi3 Christmas sermon in his little parish church in the North, hundreds of miles away. In the same way that they have endowed him, these people whose, imagination has been reared by the wild, weird nature around th?m during several months of continuous light, night and day, during an equa'ly long period of continuous darkness, with the wild restless ravs of the aurora borealis across

the canopy of the Hea vens, and in the fantastic life at sea, w.th the fish shoals under them and millions of birds hovering above them, they will probably in a century or two similarly endow those who to-day have won their love or their hatred. Bjormtj em e JBjorn&ont in Harper's Magazine, Material Resources of Japan. Most remarkable statements are those made by Prof. Rein, a scientist who has been investigating the material resources of Japan. They reveal a national frugality and econony of a marvelous typi. The area of Japan is less than that of California. Its cultivated land is less than one-tenth of its total acreage, vet its products support about 33,000,000, The United States has about 00,000,000 popiiation. In Japan 2,500 persons subsist from each square mile of tilled land. A people existing under such circumstances must from necessity of preservation be provident, painstaking, hard-working, ingenious, and frugal. The Japs appear to deserve all these adjectives. Agriculture with them is literally market-gardening, because the soil is required to produce more tuan any other place in the world. The Safest Explosive. Wet compressed gun-cotton is the safest high explosive j et produced, says Mr. Karl llohrer, U. S. N. It can be readily and safely transported by any convej r.nce, aud is eminently convenient to handle or, store. It can be sawed, turned, cut and bored easily and safely;; and the turmngs, euttings, and borings may be worked over. Dry compressed gun-cotton, which need form only a small percentage of any charge, is safer than gunpowder. Whisk the wind stops to fan a gnat into oblivion it is net so fan-gnatical as it may seem.

MAKING GOLD THREAD.

A "Wonderful IIluKtr&t on f the Prvelima Metal9 Mai lability. The silver is brougiit from the Bank of England in cakes weighing atout one thousand ounces. To secure the necessary degree of tenacity a certain proportion of copper is added, and th 5 alloyed, metal in th form of cylindrical bars, -s next thoroughly heated. The hammer process fellows, and the bars originally about two feet in length and two inches in diameter, but now half as long again and proportionately thinner, are in the next pla?e filled and rubbed until their surfaces are perfectly even. What we may call the second part of the process begins with the laying on of leaf after leaf of gold in the proportion of 3 per cent. Afterward each bar is wrapped in paper and well hes.ted in a charcoal fire. A sort of vice stands ready, and in it, bar after bar as it comes from the fire, is fixed and thoroughly burnished. All trace of its silver original has now disappeared, and the bar is ready for conversion into wire. This is iccomplished by drawing it from 100 fo 150 times through ever diminishing holdes in steel plates; and finally, when the capabilities of this metal have been exhausted, through apertures in diamonds, rfcbiesi, or sapphires. The delicate wires thus obtained must now be passed through the steel rollers of one of Herr Krupp's "flatting mills." This brings us to the final process the spinning of the flattened wire round .silk to form the golden thread of commerce. These spinning machines are worked by water, although two steam engines are to be found in the factory; for water power is considered more regular and even in its action. There is a small home demand for the adornmont of epaulets, etc. ; but the bulk of the manufactured article finds its way in silky gold thread oi India, and the far East generally, where it is converted by skilled native labor into those gorgeous cloths and tissues ia which the Oriental delights. What a wonderful property does gold Kssess in its malleability! It is asserted that very ounce of the bars whose fortunes we have iolhmed with no little interest,, each containing only 2 per cent, of gold, will run to the length of from 500 yards to 2,500 yards, and the amazing figure 5,000 yards is oti record. This latter thread would be finer than human hair, but the extreme limit is not even yet reached. Chambers? Journal. Ericsson and the Monitor C. S. Burikne'il in the New Haven Palladium: Mi. Ericsson, soon after our acquaintance , let me take the Monitor plans.. He had vowed that he would never go to Washington with the plans because the Government owed him $12,000 for his engineering work in constructing the propeller Princeton, the first propeller ever built, but would not pay it, I took the plans to Mr. Wells, Secretary of the Navy, and also to Mr, Seward, Secretary of State. Mr. Seward gave me a note to President Lincoln, and the following day I called on the President. He said he did not know much about vessels, save flatboats, but he agreed to meet me the next day with the Board of Naval Com missioners. Well, at this meeting President Lincoln heard a great deal oi adverse criticism on the part of the naval officers, but he said that the idea reminded him of the expression of the girl who, when she put her foot in hex stocking, said: u There's something in it" Then I requested the board to make a favorable report, that there might be a vessel constructed from the plans. Two were in favor and one was opposed, and 1 could not persuade him; to consent. I was rather discouraged, and I saw but one way to secure adoption of the plan, and that was to bring Ericsson before the board. I !teft Washington for New York that nigat. I saw Ericsson the next morning, aad, by the way, I was admitted by a servant girl, Ann, who has been in Mr. Ericsson's service from that time until the present, I succeeded in persuading him to break his vow and return with me to Wash ington, telling him that all that I believed was in the way of the acceptance of the plan was the f act that one of the members of the board did not think that he understood the idea well enough to give it his approbation. So Mr. Ericsson returned with me, and under the influence of the man'A enthusiasm and eloquence the loard became convinced of the feasibility oi the project and gave

it hearty approval Thus approved the plan was carried out and the Monitor was built. How to Rear Children. One great point is to lireat them kindly. Do not preach politeness and propriety to them tvnd violate these laws yourself. In other words, let the ex ample you set them be ft good one. Never quarrel or have any unpleasantness between yourselves or vdth others in their presence. If you m ast quarrel, wait till the -children are gne to bed; then they will not see you, and perhaps by that time you may not want to quarrel. Never speak flippantly of neighbors before children; they may meet the neighbors' children and talk about it. Teach them to think that the little boy in rags has a heart in spite of the rags, and a stomach, toe. Teach them, as they grow elder, that a respectful demeanor to others, a gentle tone of voice a kind disposition, a generous nature an honest purpose and an industrious mind are batter than anything else on earth. Teach them these things, and self-reliance and intelligence aud capability will come of themselves. Teach them these things, I say, and your boys and girls will grow up to be noble mea and women, , And Used It With Every Han He Met 'Sweet is pleasure after pain How beautiful those words of Dryden are, she said sentimentally.
