The Boy Who Wins.
Tho boy who's always wishing
That this or that might be,
Lbit never trids his mettle,
Is tho boy that's hound to seo?
His plans all come to failure,
His hopes end in defeat,
For that's what comes when wishing
And working fail to meet.
The boy who wishes this thing
Or that thing with a will
That spurs him on to action,
And keeps him trying still
When effort meets with failure,
Will some day surely win ;
For he works oat what he wishes,
And that's where "luck" conies in !
The "luck" that I believe in
Is that which comes with work,
And no one ever finds it
Who's content to wish and shirk.
The men the world calls "lucky"
Will tell you, every one,
That success comes, not hy wishing
But by hard work, hravely done.

Postmaster General Clary Greatly
Interested in a Helioiuo for Its
KHtahliHlinteiit.
Washington Ktar.
Postmaster General Gary is greatly
Interested in tho scheme for estab
lishing u postal savings bank system
and is getting facts about the work
ings of such systems in foreign coun
tries. Ho has just received from tho
postmaster general of Canada a full
explanation of tho system adopted .
there, and is most favorably impressed
with tho system in vogue there. Ho
has received letters in regard to the
system from prominent men all over
the country ami farmers, especially as I
banking facilities for the latter are
oxtremoly limited. Savings banks in |
connection with tho post ollioes, there
fore, it is tbough^ would be of great
bonelit to thorn especially.
The New Zealand Host and Tele
graph Guide, published at Welling
ton, New Zealand, containing the rules
and regulations of the postal savings
bank system as applied there, has just
boon received by tho postmaster geu
crai. In that country deposits of one
Shilling or any multiple of ono, may
bo mado at any postottiee savings
bank. Interest is allowed to each
deposi;.?/r at the rate of '.\\ per cent per
annum, when the balance at tho credit
of his account does not exec (d ?2U0,
and at tho rate of IS per cent wnen it
exceeds that amount, but no interest
is allowed on more than ?500. The
calculation Is mado from the first day
of tho calendar month next following
tho day on which a complete pound
has been deposited up to tie: last day
of tho calender rnontn proceeding the
day on which tho money is withdrawn.
Tho interest duo to each depositor is
calculated to tho Jtlst of December in
each year, and is then added to and
becomes part of tho principal due the
depositor.
Upon opening an account the deposi
tor Is required to furnish his or her
Christian name or forename, and sur
name, and occupation, and residence,
and must also sign a declaration to the
effect that he or sho is not directly or
indirectly entitled to any sums stand
ing in his or her name or uames of any
other poison or persons in the books of
tho post otliee savings bunk, unless it
bo as trustee of another person, or as
a member of a friendly or other so
ciety, and consent must also be given
by the depositor for the amounts to
bo managed according to tho regula
tions of the post oOloe bank. It is re
quired that such a declaration must be
witnessed by tho postmaster or by
some person known to him, or by a
justice of the peace.
The postmaster general v. ill decide
upon tho best Individual feature*, of
each system in vogue throughout the
world and will embody them in his
coming annua1 report, and will request
that favorable action bo taken as soon
as possible. It is thought most of tho
details will be copied from the Cana
dian system, tbough there are a num
ber of others which are considered ex
cellent. ,
BILL AKl* ON MATRIMONY.
He Tli i n k.s Muy und December Should
Not Wed?Whon They Do I he Old
Mun Ought to Die Soon.
"Whenever there is trouble and I can't
give any relief or remedy, it distresses
mo. especially when the trouble is of a
domestic character. Now here is a let
ter from a man who says, "I know a
man?a neighbor?who is of a warm,
atl'ectionate, passionate nature, and
loves his wife to distraction, but sho is
calm and cold and conservative by na
ture and, therefore, Indifferent to his
earessos, and whenever ho venturos to
kiss her and put his arms about her
she repels him with such expressions
as, "Oh, Tom, get a away, don't bother
me." Sue is a pure, good woman and
loves her husband in her way, but she
never meets him at tho door when he
comes homo tired or disappointed with
his day's work. The poor f< How is
really pining away and languishing for
lack of love?for reciprocity, as it were,
and can't get it. Now, what is tho
remedy? Can't you bring your univer
sal philosophy to bear upon this case
and solve the problem?''
No, I cannot. I am helpless. Noth
ing but time will equalize and har
monize, that couple. 1 am afraid their
union was a mislit, but ho took her for
bettor or worse and must be reconciled.
In fact, ho ought to bo thankful in
these degenorato days that ho has found
a pure, good woman, oven if she is not
as tumultuous in her lovo as he would
like her to be. Hut tlmo is a good doc
tor. Time will assuage him down some
and will tone her up some, for a man
and his wlfo gut moro and more alike
as the years roll on. There woro some
good friends at my houso last night and
I seriously read to them this letter and
asked for advico about answering it.
Thoy all agreed that the man was not
writing about his noighbor, but was
relating his own pitiful condition.
>\ marrlod man said: "Write him to
got away and quit bothering her whe'j
she says so."
A bacholor friend said, "Wiito him
to tlirt a little with anotho: man's wife
and she will come to her senses mighty
quick and return his caresses."
"That Is all you know about It," said
another damo. "Tho llirtations of a
husband destroy lovo and happiness,
too. Thoy are moro apt to bring con
"tempt and oven scorn. A truo woman
will Buffer and onduru any fault or fall
ing except that."
A young married woman said timidly,
"She must bo a very strange kind of a
woman not to like caressing, but I do
think sho ought to meet him at tho
door and givo him a smile or two when
he comes homo."
"He must bo a right good man and I
am sorry for him," said a lassie in her
teens. "Or m-iybo ho Is eo horrid, coarse
and ugly that nosolf-respoctlng woman
would want him bothering hor for
kisses and caresses every tlmo ho camo
about," said a lussio out of hor toons.
"Maybe ho smoked and his breath
was dlsagncable," said a bonedlct who
never used tobacco.
So I got hut little comfort from this
goodly company and my wife continued
the discourso by remarking in her quiet
way, "Well, I think your frierd had
better have kept his misery to himself.
Let him stick to his promises that ho
mado at tho altar."
"Or apply for a writ of mandamus
and make her kiss him according to
law," said a lea"ned judge who was
present. "I would make hor reoipro
oate if tho case was in my court. Tho
writ of mandamus is a far-reaohiug and
effectual process."
Well of course, the conversation
drifted to tho topic of May and Docom
bor marriages, with grooms of more
than three score anu ton and brides of
tender years. Wo all agreed that if
such a groom bad anything to leave
such a bride besides his name and
would depart this life In a reasonable
time, she was justilled in marrying
him. Hut in the lirst place, tho prop
erty should bo in sight tho "quid pro
quo'* ?nd it should bo lixed, sottled,
dowered, dovetailed, clinched upon
her, and there should bo an implied
contruct that bo should dlo in strict
accordance with tho death rate, the
expectation laid down in the lifo insu
rance tables. Indeed, if the late fre
quency of old men marrying young
women is to bo multiplied to an alarm- |
ing extent, there should be established
a death insurance olliee so that tho
young girl could go to it and get a pol- |
ley insuring the old man's death in a
limited time, and if he didn't die with
iu the time, the company should pay
her so much as she insured for?say
1 $.">,000 or $10.001) or $20,000 as the case
I may hu. With the money of course
sbo could live decently and even secure
u divorce on tho ground of fraud?
fraud in not dying uccording to hope
and expectation and an implied prom
ise. Why, 1 know a lady who married
im old man twenty-eight years ago.
Ho was sixty and she but twenty and
as sweet and pretty as a pink. He was
rich and sickly and agreed to settle ou
her $."{0,000, to bo paid at his death.
Ho looked like no would die in a year,
but, bless your souls, my sweet young
sisters, he is living yet and she looks
nearly as old us he does. Her bloom of
youth is gone. When she married she
was an orphan and soon became worse
than an orphan, and she is childless.
What a mistake she made. What a
fraud wns perpetrated upon her. What
u wreck of earthly happiness. Young
girls, beware 1 These unions are not
according to nature and they shock
tho judgment and the sentiment jf
mankind. There are widows enough
to take these venerable widowers, but
let the maidens remain single if they
cannot get a young man of their
choice.
MODE OF Tit IVEL IN CHINA.
An Interesting; Account of tho Several
Ways in Which Travel is Managed
in the CclctUial Empire.
Correspondence of the Mountaineer.
BOOCHOW, China, Aug. 10, 18U7.
The principal modes of travel lu
Sooohow .nay be described as follows :
First in importance is by "house
boat." Tho house boat is usually,
from fifteen to thirty feet long, varying
iu width?generally according to
leugth?from four to eight feet. Tho
front part consists of a platform, whero
tho boatman stands to manage the boat
when passing through narrow places.
The central part, or body, of tho boat
is usually divided into two apartments
in smaller ones, and ou larger boats
sometimes you may lind six, eight or
even ten, berths, or places to sleep.
Tho back of the boat is where the boat
men work, eat and sleep. This part is
usually protected by a mat cover from
the raiu and sun, und in winter the
same kind of mat protection all around.
They do not propel their o^^ts with
oars as we do, on the side, but use .one,
two, or throe long bent ores fastened
generally on tho back, and tho boat is
propelled hy a sculling motion, two or
sometimes four men at work on it at
once. Under this part of tno boat,
down in the bottom of tho boat, they
do their cooking and iu the winter
sleep down there. The wholo country
is cut up by canals, just as our coun
try is cut by roads. You can gjt one
of these boats and go to any part of the
Province you please. All of tho coun
try ncghborhoods havo small canals
going into these. If a man wishes to
take a trip he calls a boat of a certain
size for a certain price for each day,
including a certain number of woi le
mon, clearly stated, if you wish to
travel night and alay. Also, it is bost
to have it clearly stated how much
"wine cash" tho workmen; are to have,
and when and whero it is to bo paid,
for after all is clearly written it will
take all your spare time on the trip to
keep them at work and from worrying
you out of your lifo trying to got you
to do more for them and oftenor than
tho agreement calls for. Eaoh traveler
provides himself with a "i'u Kao," or
bedding such as he proposes to sloop
on and under?wrapped in matting and
tied with u ropo. At night you spread
it down and sioep; in the morning roll
it up again that you may have room on
the boat to get about during the day.
The boatmen are fairly reliable about
taking earo of what you have on the
boat, while under contract. Tho "tug
of wai" comes when you havo como to
the end of the trip and time comes to
settlo, as it generally takes at least
ono hour to settle and get rid of them
They are never of tho opinion that
you have paid them all you wi;l if thoy
can jus?, manage to worry you enough.
In tho last few years small "tug
boats" have been introduced in China,
anil now between all tho largor cities
in tho southern provinces you may
most any week got passage on them.
These "tug boats'will p dl from one
t? eight, and somotimes ton of tho
"house ,boats" from ono place to an
other. This has greatly facilitated
travel in our part of Cbinu. There
now are "tug boats" going and coming
from Soocbow to Shanghai, a distance
of eighty American miles.
Country travoling is confined almost
entirely to boats. Tho government
couriers travel on horseback along the
canal banks, or tow-paths.
2nd. Chair travel. Tho Sedan chair
la made of bamboo and wood. Tho
chair framo, seat, top, foot-rost and all
are mndo of bamboo, covored genorally
around with cloth. At the back and
sides is a small glass window. The top
is covored with oil cloth of a native
manufacture. On each side are shafts
about twelve foot long. Tho chair Is
placed about midway, and tbuso shufts
have a cross pleco at tho ends, which
holds thom together and by which It
Is carrlod, rostlng on tho shoulders of
tho bcarors.
An ordinary person Is not allowod to
havo more th?n two b.jarers. A
mandarin ';an have four, in many re
spects % ?'nlght-maro" ispioforablo to
h?.*. ing to settle with those men aftor
using them. Thoy try so hard to choat
foreigners. They havo no conseioneo,
shame or decency, but are only inspired
with ono mot ,1 vc, and that to gouge
every ono who happens to bo so unfor
tunute us to have to uso thom. With
vory fow exceptions they aro misera
ble opium smokers.
3rd. Horseback riding is vory popu
lar in uud near tho cities. A horso
which costs in tho Kastern States $80
to $100 in gold, can bo bought for $30 to
$10 now, somotimes raoro, Bometimes
loss. A morning or afternoon horso
back ride and horso boy included (for
tho Chinese aro bo mean that should
you hitch your horso and go In a houao
without a boy to watch him, you may
not find him on your roturn) costs 3(50
cosh, which amounts to about twenty
live, cents In gold. Ono member of our
mission keeps a horse at a stable, and
his feed and grooming coBts $3.(50,
Mexican*, a month, which is a very
cheap way of travoling. A horso boy
costs him 5 cents Moxican, or '3 cents
in gold, for an afternoon's service.
4th. Hlcyolos. Wbon I arrlvod here
last January two years ago, as far as I
know, bieyolos wore not known on
tho streets, and tho missionaries did
not think it possiblo, but as I Intro
duced thom in Greenvlllo omong pro
fessional mon (although I wa9 told I
would ride out of my praetlee) I proved
by actual experiment that it was a
.(real, help tO health and patients for
a doctor to havo a quick method of

most wonderful and useful Invention of
tho nineteenth century can be made a
f:reat ihelp to tho missionary In his
aborlous work In the cities. Now wo
have three active workers on whoels,

CHEWING GUM FACTORY.
Description of un liultiHtry Which
Hm Made Its Owner Rich and Mae |
KueouraKctl a Silly Hnblt.
Only a few years ago tho" owner of
tho largest chewing gum factory in
the world was a poor man, says tho
Cleveland Leader, making his gum in
tho husement of an old buildlug, olTor
lng in vain his whole business for a
few hundred dollb.u, ami with his wife
his ?olo assistant. Now, his IlOO em- .
ployes make profits for a millionaire.
Tho gum-making begius in Mexico,,
its foundation being ehielo gum, tho
chocolate-colored exudonco of tho uaso
berry tree. The natives gather, pack
It in barrels and seud it north. At
tho factory it is picked over, crushed,
then placed in largo kettles together
with sugur and Havering extracts.
While cooking tho revolving eylinder
within the kettle keeps the mass con
stantly stirred. When cooled It is
carried to a table whore a group of
girls knead tho ginger bread-looking
stuff, mixing in sugar until it uttalus
tho needed dryness. Transferred to
another table it is rolled out to thick
square cakes, worked as a cook would
pastry, but with sugar taking the
place of Hour. These cakes are then
passed back and forth uuder a steam
roller until each is in thin strips about
eighteen Inches wide and a yard long.
A grooved roller cuts it into squares
which aro laid on a tray and left for
twenty-four hours. After tho day's
drying, another grooved roller marks
it into the shape in which it is sold,
when it is broken and sent in boxes to
the packing room. Hero h is wrapped
In paper, packed in dainty boxes, tbon
sent to tho inspecting room, whert
each box is opened, examined and
missed.
Tho factory is comploto in itself and
has many departments. Tho top tloor
is given up to tho manufacture of
pasteboard boxes for the gum. Tho
basement is a light, airy printing of
fice, where many hands aro busy with
tho labels and advertising matter. A
railway switch loads and unloads
everything at tho door. Six brande of
gum aro made in tho building. Of one
b'-und alone tho bookkeeper told mo
50,1100 milos had been sold in ten years,
that in each day of tho lust ten years
thirteen and one-half miles had been
the average sales.
the limbless COTTON.
Tho Government Instruct** an Olliclal
to Investigate and Report upon tho
New Variety.
Atlanta Journal.
Tho famous Jackson limbless cotton
has assumed a national importance.
Yesterday the Unitoi slates secretary
of agriculture telegraphed to Weattior
and Crop Official Mar bury at this
place, to go out to tho JaOKSOU farm
anl make a thorough and exhaustive
examination of tho plant, and then re
port to tho government otlieial at
Washington.
Mr. Mar bury at onco went out to the
farm near tho barracks, where the
wondorful cotton is growing, and
through tho kindness of Mr. Jackson
was euabled to go through tho six acres
of magnificent cotton, lie spent quite
a while at the place and looked all
over the Hold. After making his ex
amination ho was allowed to bring
some of tho cotton to town with him to
include with his report.
Mr. Marbury was enthusiastic over
the limbless cotton. He said it was the
finest crop of cotton ho had ever seen.
He said that some of tho cotton was so
tall that it could hardly bo reached
with an umbrella. The plant is thickly
studded all tho way up with large
bolls, and tho lowest estimate is that
tho six acres will yield four bales to tho
acre.
The weather ollieial will make a very
full report on the condition and pros
pects of the cotton, and will entor into
its propable commerical value. lie
will givo as full and complete a report
on tho subject as could be desired and
when tho report is filed the govern
ment will then be in a position to act
as it may consider proper.
That tho government ollielals are
evincing considerable interest in the
remarkable cotton is not a surprise.
It is an entirely new variety of cotton
and is tho best species that has been
grown in this country. The govern
ment will probably buy up large quan
tities of the seed and distribute tiiem
among tho agricultural cIusscb so aB to
insure a wide distribution aud a spread
of tho now variety.
Tho seed retails at $200 per bushel,
and tho present owners of the six acres
at Jackson's farm have been offered
$25,000 for tho product of tho held.
Tho cotton does not have a limb on tho
stalk, and has many advantages not
poasossod by othor variotios.
Mr. Marbury will tilo his report in a
few days, and tho government will
probably tako early action in order to
si euro tho sood Miat is now boing
grown.
Mr. T. A. Jackson, whoso address is
P. O. box 215, Atlanta, Ga., is receiv
ing thousands of letters about his fa
mous cotton.
What is Yellow Fever??In view
of tho excitement occasioned by tho
outbreak of yollow fever, on our gulf
coast, it is pertinent to make uomo in
quiry into tho nature of this foul mal
ady. Dr. C. U. Tobault, of Now Or
leans, who has boon Idontified with the
treatment of yellow fovor for more
than thirty years, contributes to Tho
l'icayuno, of that city, a thorough
diagnosis of tho disease. This able
authority says :
"Yollow foveris'.,u infection.*, acute
and eruptive 'over. Tho eruption is so
faint in f.ome casos that it is over
looked beforo tho physician sees the
ea.-.e, but if seen early and a eloso in

membranes of tho mouth and fancos.
Tho eruption indicatos that there is
somothing of an irritant character in'
tho blood, and is do-ubtloss tho cause I
of the changes found in tho internal
viscera, especially tho stomach and
kidnoys, producing in tho stomach
that softened condition found in its

A MUIIOKHKK'S CONFESSION.
Grady IteyunldH Doolaros that lie
Murtlere.dl M. U. Muni?Brooks Con
less* -, timt II? I'I:inn< 11 tho Crime.
?' i senvtlle Mountaineer.
Tho brutal murder of M. 0. Hunt,
which took pluoo last winter in .lack
son County, (Ja., will bo recalled by
our readers. Crady Reynolds and Hud
i Brooks, two white men, were tried and
convicted of tho murder at Jefferson,
I (Ja., and were sentenced to bo bunged
on Friday 24th of September. Tho
I Atlanta Journal says that Grady R >y
| nolds made a full OOnfesalOO on Wed'
? nesday night, and now ad ml.'s that ho
I alone and unaided murdered Morohaot
Hunt. Brooks confesses that he planned
tho murder, but fays that R ynolds
did tho bloody work ulone. After in
ducing Merchant Hunt to go with him
to Widow Butler's farm bird bunting,
Reynolds says that Hunt boca no sus
picion* that something was wrong, and
soon uftor leaving the house turne*!
around aud said to him :
'"Look horo, Grady, this is a suspic
ious looking place to carry a man bird
hunting and 1 don't like it."
Reynolds says ho then picked up a
largo rock and struck Hunt on the head
and stunned him. Before Hunt recov
ored Reynolds sei/.ed his gun, jerked
it out of his hand, and struck him throo
heavy blows on the head with the butt
of tho gun.
This knocked . i unt down, and Roy
nolds then robbed him of all money ho
could lind, which he hid under a ruck
close hy Reynolds then wont down on
. river, where Brooks was cutting cross
tics, and told Brooks lie had about
' killed Hunt ami asked Brooks to go
back and help finish tho job. Brooks
I refused to do so, but went back with
Reyuolds to tho place where Hunt's
body was lying, weltering in bis lifo's
blood. By the time thoy got back Hunt
had drawn his last breath. They then
picked up the body and carried it to
the river, where Reynolds undressed,
waded out and cut Hunt's body Open
and sank it in tho river. He then loaded
it down with heavy stoucs.
This is Orady Reynolds' lust confes
sion, and ho says he makes it with bis
doom staring him in the face and that
every word In it is true. This free and
full confession of Reynolds has greatly
rejoiced Brooks, as it piaoos the exe
cution of this terrible crime, entirely
on Reynolds. Brooks admits that he
planned Uio crime, assisted in conceal
ing the body and shared the money and
is equaliy as guilty as Reynolds, except
that he did not strike tho blows.
Both prisoners declare they have
made peace with (Jod and are prepared
to die. A doublo gallows has been
built and tho murderers will dio to
gether. The sheriff has purchased a
strong hemp ropo which has beeu fully
tested ana feu ml to work smoothly and
satisfactorily. A now suit of clothes
has been purchased for both prisoners,
two black cups made ami lilted ami
every precaution for the execution is
complete. The death watch has been
sot over Brooks and Reynolds and
never a moment from now till the gal
lowo docs its deadly work will they bo
free from ttie eyes of the guards.
Throughout this whole trying ordeal
tho citizens of Jackson County, like
law-abiding people, have patiently
waited for the law to take it-* course
and for justice to be administered
legally.
Tho confession of Reynolds dilt'ois
considerably from tho testimony
brought out at the trial. The follow
ing is a brief history of the remark
able case as bro fht out at the trial.
The points of difference can bejseen i
During the latter part of last Feb
ruary, M. C. Hunt, a merchant at Hel
ton, was inveigled by Reynolds to
Jackson County, under the pretense of
bird hunting and to procuring money
to pay Hunt for his stock of goods.
While hunting, Runt's atton 00 was
called to a bird. As lie turned to look,
ho wus dealt a mortal blow on the
bead. To rob him was short work,
and the bleed thirsty murderers out
the body open with an ax and buried
it in tho river.
Reynolds and Brooks then divided
Hunt's money, two thousand dollars,
between then*, Brooks going toward
Madison County and Reynolds to B?l
ten. There, with unparalleled cold
ness, ho commenced selling Hunt's
stock of goods, so low as to attract at
tcntion. Suspicion aroused, 1".'ynolds
was arrested. When charged with
tho murder of Hunt, ho confosed and
implicated Brooks. He, too, was soon
caught and both lodged in Jackson
County jail.
At tho August term of court they
were botli convicted after u trial, Roy
nold's confession alone being sufficient.
?An amusing story is told of the
meeting of the lOpworth League at
Cha-tanooga. Ono of tho visiting
members was entertained by a hospita
ble family and at dinner was asked to
carve the chicken. For Iiis own con
venience ho transferred the bird from
tho platter to his own plate, whereup
on the young hopeful of the family,
who had heard of tho Methodist fond
ness for chicken and had been anxi
ously watching tho proceedings, cried
out to his mother, with tears lo his
voice, "Ho's going to tako it all!"
Fxplanations wore made, and tranquil
ity reigned again.
?"By tho death of a eat, the Tem

Transcript, "receives a legacy of 10.
000 francs for its elementary school.-,.
Tho cat's mistress who died in lv.>2,

well for the honesty of the trustees

The average clergy
man is not ft healthy
man. There are many
reasons that contrib
ute to make him dcli
,cate. He leads a
ledeutary life.
He doesn't take
sufficient exer
cise. Just the same
lie is a hard working
man. lie takes too
much trouble about
other people's troub
les to trouble much
about Ids own. lie
thinks too much
about ottier sick peo
ple to look after his
own health. The re
sult is that the hard
working clergyman
becomes a send - in
valid early in life.
There is no ?ccessity for this. A clergy
man adds nothing to his usefulness, but
greatly detracts from it, by neglecting his
health. If a inan.be he clergyman or layman,
will resort to the right remedy just as soon
as tie feels out of sorts, and knows that he
is a little bilious, or that his liver is torpid,
or Ids digestion in oie of order, tie will re
main healthy and robust and add much to
his usefulness and many years to Ids life.

?corgo Dolby, manager of Clurles
Dickens on one of Iiis reading tours in
this country, is still living, aud the
London corroRpoudent of the Ohiongo
Record reports at length some of Dolby's
remini8coucc8 Among other things the
qnoudnm managet nays: "Ho was the
kindest henrt? d man I ever havo known.
Many and many a time while on tour

who were down on their luck. Dickens
WOnld say to mo after tho reading,
'Joey, lot me have ?20 in crisp, new
bank notes, and I want, to be alone to
morrow from 12 to 2.' I knew what
this meant. Ho had invited his old
friends to call upon him at this hour,
and such friends didn't go away
poorer. * * *
"Dickens was fond of reading Iiis
own books. Once at Liverpool, where
we had an off night, I was obliged to
leavo him to himself for an evening.
He asked me to call at a bookseller's
and send him something to read. I
asked bim w hat bo would like, nml bo
replied, 'Anything of Sir Walter Scott's
or my own.' I purchased'Old Curiosity
Shop' aud look it to him myself, where
at ho was delighted, saying ho had not
read tho book for years. I was curious
to see tho offoot of Ms own work on
him, and upon my return was amused
to find him laughing immoderately at
certain Incidents in tho book. Ho ex
plained, however, that he was not .laugh
ing at his own creations as much as at
tho recollections of the circumstances
under which certain passages and inci

A Blender Thread of Mercury.
While almost any one knows about
the prinoiplca on which an ordinury
thermometer operates, th"ro are a num
ber of things about this apparently sim
ple little instrument which are not gen
erally known, and w hich aro of a good
deal of interest. One of the most pecul
iar of these is the question of tho
length of tube which tho moronry in the
bulb of an ordinary thermometer would
fill if it WOro all stretched oiu in a sin
gle column tho size of that in the tube.
Most peoplo, when asked bow long
this would be, would probably say from
5 to 15 foot, while as a matter of fact
this column of mercury would in an ex
tremely delieato instrument be miles in
height. The reason of tins is that tho
column of mercury, while it appears
quite largo, is really of almost iuflu
ltosimnl size. If tho tube of a ther
mometer is broken one is at first at a
loss to SCO w here the mercury goes in,
but a close examination will disclose a
fine line, much thinner than a hair,
running across the end of the tube, and
this is one cud of a little slit in w hich
tho moroury rises. As it has its flat side
toward tho eye it appears to be quite
large, and the convexity of tho outside;
of the tube, through which it is seen,
magnifies it and gives it that rounded
appearance which is so deceptive. The
reason w hy tin; slit is made so small is
to give tho greatest ratio of result for
the ONpnnsiou of the mercury in tho
bulb. ?Hosten Transcript.
An o?ld Profession.
A London firm which rents wedding
gowns to brides also furnishes a
"father" to give the bride away when
tho marriage takes place too far aw ay
from home to admit of parent i and rela
tives being present. This professional
father, as he might bo appropriately
called, is an ex-major in tho army and
a member of a line old family. Hut ho
is poor and willingly gives away a bride
for a small money consideration. Ho is
said to look like a model lather, with
snowy hair and a kind and lovable ex
pression. Sometimes ho is called upon
to manage a wedding breakfast, and he
is said to bo a charming spoakor, Sure
ly this is one of tho oddest professions
of advanced days.
Wellington and Napoleon.
There are some interesting stories in
the recently published reminiscences of
Mr. Corbould, the drawing master to
Qneen Victoria's children. Hero is one
of them: "On reaching tho palace one
morning the Prince of Wales showed
me a drawing he had jllfil finished. Na
poleon was dopiotcd on horseback level
ing a pistol at the Duke of Wellington,
who was advancing to cut down his
great enemy. While I was looking at
the draw ing, who should come in but
tho duke himself. 'Why, the very man
who can best criticise my drawing!'
orled the prince. 'Now, can you tell mo
who that is on the left?' ho went on,
presenting Iho skotoh to tho duke.
' Well,' replied tho latter deliberately,
'Judging from the waistcoat ami the
cocked hat, I should say it was meant
for Napoleon.' 'Right,' said the prince.
'And who is tho other figure?' 'By the
cnt of tho jib,' returned the duke calm
ly, 'I should say it was myself.' 'Hight
again. Well, now, is tho drawing ac
curate? That's what I want to know.1
The duko rose, put down tho sketch and
thus impressively addressed the Prince
of Wales: 'My boy, I'm going to toll
you something that the English people
don't seem to realize. I was sent out to
keep Napoleon in check, but never in
my life have I sot ( yes on him. Once,
in tho midst of n battle, some ono cried:
"Look I There's Napoleon I" Hut before
I could get the glass to my eyo the
smoke from a field gun had enveloped
him.' "
Tho Lubrlciitlon Tost.
Very few of tho millions of people
who curry watches rcalizo to what a
wonderful extent lubrication is dovel
Oped and what an extraordinary num
hor of turns tho balance wheel makes
with ono oiling A Chestnut streit
watchmaker, whoso knowledge oftluse
wonderful pieces of mechanism is not
exceeded by any man in this city, has
made up an interesting table of com
parison to show tho perfection of lubri
cation in a watch.
A watch will run on one oiling from
n year to a year and a half Every
minute tho balance wheel turns on its
nxis -ITm turns and 27,000 times in an
hour. / cet ptilig a year as the time the
ordin?r;' watch will run with one oil
ing, he finds that if the driver of a lo
comotive WU3 us well oiled as a balance
wheel of a watch it ought to run (iO
miles an hour day and night for (1-iH
days, or well on to two years, with one
oiling In that time it would traverse
a distnnco equal to nearly 10 times tho
oirenrnforoneo of tho earth
In view of the fact that .jn reality
few locomotives will run ono day with
out reoiling, h<i maintains that tho
wntohinaker has developed his art to a
far greater degree than tho loeomotivo
builder has yet been ablo to roach.

"no horse, no review." And thoro was

"It was off Cedar Keys," said lie. "I
had been shark fishing ami was talking
of sharks to an old time sponge fisher
When lie told me that he had found,
some 20 miles off the keys, the largest
Shark it had ever been his foituno to
see, floating belly upward, starved to
death. 'Why, the shark was as thin as
a poker,' said I be sponge flslior, 'and I
determined to lind out what ailed him.
I pulled him aboard and cut him open.
There, in his stomach, open end toward
the head, wtifl half of a barrel which
had contained mess pork. The half bar

hoard from staue vessel and the shark
had gobbled it up as it hit the water,
without looking to see what it was. It

A tyrannical and universal secret
surveillance blights all Russian na
tional life. Tho clergy preach hut little,
the great majority never attempting
to deliver a sermon, chiefly becauso an
unguarded or misunderstood word may
be so r< ported as to lead to severe pen
allies. All public meetings uro prohib
ited, and so ridiculous is the extreme to
which the suporfluo bureaucracy pushes
its operations that nobody is at liberty
to give oven a dinie r party without tho

ThO policeOlllcC! is tho god of Russia.
If permission is granted lor a party, a

lectures are all but unknown, for the
law sternly forbids thorn. Seeing that
education is rapidly spreading, and that
by the efforts of the authorities in this
land of endless paradoxes, it is manifest
that the elements ol sonic fearful social
