Brownoll in Scribner's Magazine. Ailvantngcs of Imperfect Health. Perfect health, whilo conducivo to mental serenity and soundness, lias not been shown to promoto or produco de cided nctivit of intellect. Tho abso lutely healthy man is moro likely to ex cel in the baseball field, moro apt to de velop into a being whoso extreme type of animal perfection is found in a Sulli van, than to becomo a Humboldt or a Horschcl. Perfect brawn has not been shown to lead to gifted brains. Tho man whoso body i3 a perfect machine, 'an swering to all demands upon lit, con ferring tho keenest pleasures in lifo upon its possessor, is tho man to win famo in Ileitis whero mero brain work is not tho desideratum.

Thcso ho will do bo cuuso therein ho finds a safety valvo for his sui-plus vitality. IIo could not cn- duro tho sedentary lifo which tho close student or tho successful merchant finds absolutely necessary for tho conduct of his professional or business duties. But, on tho other hand, tho man whose erratic liver or complaining stomach re minds him of tho shortness and uncer tainty of tilings mundane, will bo the prudent, thoughtful, calculating and generally successful business man. The man whoso imperfection of lxxlily health gives him no bono of enjoying lifo as ho otherwiso would, will, nccordlug to tho diviuo law of compensation, find, in the cxcrclso of his mental faculties, what his healthy brethren find in pleasures of tho senses. If his tastes lio in tho lino of money getting, his admonishing liver or btomach help to mako him shrewd, closo, calculating and prudent; mako him look ahead and prcnaro for roversca nnd tho ill fortuno that ho cannot banish from Ids mind as tho almost inovitablo end of tho battlo of life. Oboyinghis inward monitors, ho will ncsumo no risks whero tho healthy man would court such in tho fullness of liij self conlldenco and so tho chronic vfctim of n disordered body will achiovo success in business, and, though at no timo a brilliant man, will not end his days in poverty.

In Hindostan, whero thrco varieties of . 3acrcd monkeys enjoy tho freedom of ! ovcry town, those four liandcd pensioners often assist tho polico in enforcing the riot laws by charging en masso for tho scono of every dog light and schoolboy scuffle. They will rcscuo worried cats, and, for gi eater security, deposit them on tho next roof, or suppress rowdyism in general, tho stout Rhesus baboon, for instance, being physically as well ns morally qualified to quell tho aggressive disposition of tho lierccst cur. On tho platform of a public warehouse tho British residents of Agra, a few years ago, witnessed a sccno which put that character trait in oven a stronger light. A littlo street Arab had spread his pallet in tho shade of a stack of country pro duce, nnd had just dropped asleep, wlicn tho proprietor of tho Planter's hotel strolled up with a pet leopard that had learned to accompany nim in all his rambles. A troop of tramp monkeys had taken post on tho oppositoend of tho shed, and, liko tho beggar boy, seemed to enjoy a comfortablo siesta, but nt sight of tho speckled intruder the whole gang charged along tho platform liko a squadron of spahls, and, instantly form ing a semicirclo about tho littlo bleeper, faced tho leopard with bristling manes, evidently lesolved to defeat the suspected purnoso of his visit. Felix L. Oswald, ll. D., iu Popular Scicnco Monthly. A Wall Street Slan's Experiment. Tho bookkeeper of a Wall street bank, a man deeply versed in psychology, cm ploys his bparo timo in making practical tests of his researches. Thcro is a hu morous vein in hi3 composition, and theso tests are frequently ot n laughablo nature. IIo is a firm beliovcr in tho theory that man magnifies his own littlo troubles and will unconsciouslv put him self out of his way to avoid tilings that havo no existence in point of fact. Tho other day this philosopher carefully placed a sheet of blotting paper on tho edge of a desk in such n way that half tho 6heet hung over. Tho desk was in a narrow nassago that was much used by tho clerks, and tho philosopher had no end of fun watching them pass. Instead of shoving tho blotting paper out of tho way every clerk who passed would squeezo himself against tho wall in order to avoid knocking it down. Tho fat clerks had a hard timo of it, and ono of them cricked his spinal column in a par ticularly fino acrobatic feat. New York Evening Sun. noemjea.

Lato yesterday evening thcro was a strong excitement in certain quarters whonitwas known that another im portant failure had occurred in Waco.. Lovinski & Lowinc, jewelers, wero tho unfortunate ones. They executed last night a deed of trust to Mr. F. 0. Rogers for the benefit of creditors The following are the creditors, for whoso benefit tho deed of trust was given and tho amount duo each: Waco Stato Bank $1655 1)0 I. M. Poarlstono&Son.N.

Kirclinor 15G 45 Total $7785.08 Tho misfortuno of this firm will bo greatly regretted. Tho monibcrs of tho firm aro young men of fino business habits, indcfatigablo industry and grout skill in their respective lines. It is to bo honed that thnv nil! mnn be able to rcsumo business. Tho to- tal liabilities of tho firm are not known. Tho business was begun by Mr. Lovinski some seven years ago, who then occupied a modest corner in the storo of J. I. Taf t & Son. Tho ex tra fino skill of Mr. Lovinslvi as a workman soon attracted'attention and procured for him a profitable custom, while his knowledge of goods and tact as a salesman enabled him to sell his small stock of goo Is rapidly. His success was phenomenal in Waco and in a few years aided him in build ing up a flourishing business, in which ho was ably assisted by his present partner. It was during ono holiday that Mr. Lovinski suddonly from a watchmaker sprung into a jeweler, and tho inci dent serves to illustrato tho vicissi tudes of busMiess. With a reputation for skill, tact and fuir dealing, thero camo a rush of business during tho holiday season such as was never seen before nor sinco in Waco. It was sim ply prodigious. Evcryono shared in the prosperity. Mr. Lcvinski's shop was a jam for days from morning till night. How he managed to replenish his goods is not known, but he mado a stake in n few weeks on a ropiitation already mado and ability to take ad vantage of tho situation. Flro in Dallas. Dallas, Deo. 4. Last evening about 5 o'clock nn alarm was turned in from box No. 234 in report of a flro which was blazing in a two-story cotta-e on Pacific avonuo, occupied by Mrs. D. 1 Gilmoro. Tho flro department res ponded promptly, but on arriving nt tho sceno found that tho flro had made such headway as to leavono hope for tho salvation of tho building. They, therefore, largely dlreoted their oflorts to tho protection of an adjoining two-story structure used as a boarding-house, nnd thoy succed d in preventing tho flames from e g it. Mrs. Gilmore's houso which was valuod at aboutSlOOO, was burned to tho ground, and she lost furnlturo and efleots valuod at about $000. The flro had Its origin iu the ignition of a can of oil, which a littlo girl upset, tho oil splashing into a red hot Btovo. Tho littlo girl oscaped uninjured.
