The lambs on the wold Are seeking the fold As shadows grow somber and gray: While the firefly's spark ulearns in the dark To show thee to dreamland the way.

Marks of Gentility. Thero arc many curious personal habits nml usages that originally marked gentility, if not aristocracy. The practice observed among Spanish hidalgos of allowing the finger nails to grow into claw like forms was to show that they had never done any work. The same tiling is done by the Chinese for the same purpose. Among the ancient Romans the wearing of long sleeves, which came down over the hand, was the fashion in the upper circles. This advertised to the world that the wearer did not engage in any labor, and freedom from employment was, according to their crude notions of worth, thocondition of
respectability.
The height of absurdity is reached in the fancy of the Chinese leaders of fashion who have gone to the extent of inducing shapeless deformity in women’s feet, and rendering the vic- ■ tims cripples for life, to prove that I these could afford to get alone; withI out doing anything for themselves. Yet wo cannot afford to laugh at the | Chinese in this matter. English boots ' and shoos have been designed more or I less for the same absurd purpose. As

POPULAR BOOKS.
ft Ik Impossible to Tell Why Some Hook)*
I'iiil ami Others Succeed.
It would probably furnish the maVvial for not a little amusement if the readers of the popular books of the day were forced to tell exactly what they thought of them, why they liked or disliked them, and what they regard as their strongest and their weakest points. In the majority of cases it would doubtless be found that the readers of the class of literature generally known as popular have never taken the trouble of defining to themselves what they do think concerning what they read, and it is not unlikely that in many cases the humiliating discovery might bo made that they had no thoughts with which to acquaint themselves or anybody
else.
It is a truth so trite that one has to apologize for mentioning it that the people in general do not think at all, and it is at best into the class of mortals who think they think that the majority of mankind must bo put. This is, however, very much a matter
....... of education. The world over, it has early as the time of William Rufus always been the danger of educational
‘ ‘ systems that they would substitute the easier trick of teaching facts for the legitimate end of education than of teaching pupils to think. It is so easy to induce students to take up witn scraps and remnants of other people's

It can attain a speed of ten miles an hour, but in crowded streets it can bo made to move as slowly as an ordinary vehicle. A quart of benzine is sullicient for an hour's trip.—Detroit Free Press.

! you tig men and women of leisure that V\i-\ it is difficult not to regard it as a dis- ' ! tinct calUng. The player of the highIvtjI est grade is a sad and earnest person whoso whole life is spent in trying to get “fifteen better” than anybody else; and when ho or she at length attains that exalted position, sleepless nights and laborious days are spent in the
effort to maintain it.
Those innocent pennons who look upon lawn tennis merely as a pleasant pastime would ho met by a smile of contemptuous pity from a crack player. Morning, noon and night, all the year round, the stars do nothing but | practice the game. In the summer

It is plain that the purpose of this fashion wa$ to show that the privileged wearer was not dependent on any kind of labor or llcetness of foot for his
daily bread.
The practice of wearing tight fitting ImoLs and shoes is an oki one, for Chaucer, writing of them in his day,

“Ladies and gentlemen, I would draw you a caricature of the gentleman who is now to address you except for the fact that the Almighty has preceded me," which vastly tickled the audience as well as Dr. Henson, for ho naturally prides himself on the homeliness of his countenance.

neglected.
All this, however, is only indirectly connected with the reasons why popular novels are popular. The causes in many cases really seem past all finding out Of novels like “Assur Tigleth” it is easy to see that the mingling of sentiment and theology was the fetching thing; of “There” it is evident that the secret lay in its unadulterated sensationalism; “Cupid's Back Parlor" was evidently popular simply because its nastiness got it talked about; and so on for others. Thero still remain many of the hooks which sell most largely, in which one sees no reason for a second glance, which yet achieve a popularity that if bi’ief is most astonishingly wide. They seem to have all the faults that a book can have, and even not infrequently to add that crowning, unpardonable sin of being dull, and yet there is the publisher's account with the author giving statements, backed up by the irrefutable testimony of a check for royalties, showing that they sell in
multitudes.
Even the experts cannot tell why such and such a book succeeds and such and such a book fails. Of many a hook they can with certainty predict the fate, but the phenomenal works are apt to prove too much for their sagacity. “I have been in the- pub-

Gigantic Ghost In White. It is said that a ghost was seen in tho ridges of Walker county, Ga., by some parties returning from church. It appeared in tho road, about as near as tney could guess, 100 yards ahead of them, it was in tho shape of a human when first seen—eyes looked like two great balls of tiro, teetli as white as snow, hair almost trailing on tho ground. As they neared the object it appeared ns a woman dressed in white and of giant size. Tho party became scared, and, but tor fear of being laughed at, would have turned and run. A few moments’ consultation with renewed energy caused them to advance. They had moved but a few steps when tho gliost commenced moving backward, all tho time appearing larger to tho frightened party. It moved on about 200 yards, when very suddenly it appeared to explode and throw Us fragments in every direction, resembling tho explosion of a coal oil lamp. Every fellow made for his respective home, scared within an inch of his life. No explanation of tho apparition has been offered.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Let each consult the other’s feelings. Let each realize tho fact that they are one. Let tho husband frequent his home, not tho club. Let his having “to see a man” wait till next day. Let his latch key gather unto itself rust from misuse. Let him speak to his wife, not yell “Say l” at her. Let him ho as courteous after marriage as before. Let him confide in his wife; their interests are equal. Let him assist her in beautifying the home. Let him appreciate her as his partner. Let her not worry him with petty troubles. Let her not narrate Mrs. Next Door's gossip. Let her not fret because Mrs. Neighbor has a sealskin. Let her make her homo more pleasant than tho club. Let her dress as tastefully for him as strangers. Let her sympathize with him in business cares. Let her home mean love and rest; not noise and strife. Let her meet him with a kiss; not a frown.—New York Mail and Express.

One Way of Trade.
People who aro deeply interested in “business” aro sometimes accused of talking “shop,” and bringing questiocs of trade into tho parlor. A certain author has a son, Rob, who is greatly interested in traffic, and who, when no is not “swapping" an article, is conjuring up some other possibility
of trade.
One day Rob was walking with his father, when an acquaintance met them, and asked. “H . where can 1 get tho last book you published?" “At any book store,' 1 was tho answer. “Buy it, do, and increase tho

It is probable that there is n.ot a man, woman or child in Georgia who never heard tho song “Good-by, My Lover, Good-by." It is a jolly plantation ballad, used by serenading parties ia tho rural districts until it has become tho midnight reverie of tho sleeping citizens in many places. During a recent revival in the alethodistchurch at Milledgeville its tune was introduced to that sublime hymn, “There is a Fountain Filled with Blood,” with a refrain, “By and By Weil See the King." Night after night this now interpretatidn rang out from the hundreds of throats that attended tho services, causing a smile to those who saw its comical side, until its novelty wore otfj and it was established os a fixture in tho song service of tho church.
