But don't be so saving of your youth ful strength that you will have all of ■left at sixty, may will time when you must work tho hardest, hilt as I told you a little while ago, hard work won't hurt you. Improve your time, iny boy. Put every minute in honest hard work, tranquil meditation, or healthful recrea tion. That is all I ask you to do. "you believe you'll select meditation a profession,'' then, do you? It strikes you tiiat it is easy work to sit and think. Now, my boy, if you want some thing easy, you had much better stand and chop wood. Wo don't think half so mneh'as we want to make people believe we do. In fact, we don't think nearly so much as think we do. Busy though t and aimless idleness are often verv similar in external appear ance. Edison, sitting before his tireless brge, with his hands folded listlessly his lap, looking at nothing, may lie ap parently as idle, even idler, than the mail perched on the end of a cottonwood log, watching his cork bob lazily in the yellow water of a sluggish creek, the results are in one instance the tele phone anil the electric light, and in the other the ague and a soft-mouthed sucker and a eat-fisli four inches long, The one dreams out marvelous inveti it:eas that thrill the world witii wonder »nd multiply commercial activity, and gives them to the eager, waiting world; or at least he sells them to Jay Gould and Jay Gould sells them to the world, and the other contracts a malarial fever and gives it to his family. It is not easy to think we waste more time than we use, and the hours slip away so noise lessly and easily, we don't know where they have gone. T have sometimes thought,Telemachus, if a man could only have always present witii him some constant reminder of the flight of time; if he could have in his room a great hour glass, laden with just the equal and exact sands of his life, if he could every dav watch the steadily dropping grains, and knew that when they all ran through the last grain would just complete his grave; if when he closed his eyes he knew that all night long the priceless grains ran through; if iu the silent hours of darkness when he awoke, he could hear them dropping, steadily as the drip, drip, drip of a water clock; if when he c one in from a journey he could see how much of the sands of his life had run out while he journeyed for pleasure or profit; if, sometimes, he could stand before it ai d watch the swiftgrains running awav with his life; and he could feel that ajf way and ahvay, nighWand day, sleeping waking, fasting or feasting, working or resting,- wherever he went or what ever he (lid, no faster, no slower, stead ily, pitilessly, the sands run ^trough, and alway every hour the life heap above fell away and the grave below piled up aud up: if he could realize that thought or care, or skill or learning, could make them run more slowly by and' by, or add one light grain to the measure meted out and sealed against his life by the inexorable fates, I wonder how many of the dropping grains he would turn to gold by the alcliemv of Uis industry? Pshaw, my son, if you hail such a glass the novelty of sueli a thing would wear away in thirty days. Some night, when you came in late from a toilsome game of "draw," so to speak, walking match around a billiard table, or some popular nightmare known as a brilliant spectacular drama, you would look at your warning hour-glass and say: "By George, it seems to me sand is getting distressingly searoe in the up per story. Je-roo-salem! How these bouts do hurt my feet. I'd like to kill tho man that made 'em." And you would be sound asleep in twontv min utes. Reminders?

Among the Jews they were made of leather, linen and wood. Soldiers) wore them of brass and iron, tied with thong*. To put off the shoes was an act! of veneration. The Asiatics and Egypt ian.s wore shoes made of the bark of the papyrus. Among the Greeks the shoes generally reached to the mid-leg, like what we now call "hoofs," Ladies, as a mark of distinction, wore sandals—a sort of loose shoe, something like a modem slipper.

Ladies of rank wore white and some times red shoesy other women wore black. The shoes of some of the Roman Emperors were enriched with precious stones. It is generally regarded as a mark of effeminacy for men to wear Bhoes. Cato and other noble Romans had no covering for their feet when they appeared in public. In the ninth anil tenth centuries the greatest princes of Europe wore wooden shoes, or wooden soles fastened with leather thungs. In the eleventh century the upper orirt of the shoe was made of leather and the sole of wood. The Saxons wore shoes, or scoh, with thongs. In the year 10y0, in the reign of William Rufus, the groat dandy Robert was called "the horned" because he wore shoes with long points, stuffed, turned up, and twisted line horns. Shoes of this kind became fashionable, and the toes continued to increase in length until, in the time of Richard II., in 13 0, they had attained such an enor mous extent as to be fastened to the garter by a chain of silver or gold. Tho clergy declaimed vehemently against this extravagance; but the fashion con tinued, even for several centuries. In 1493, the Parliament of England passed an act prohibiting shoes with pikes more than two inches in length, under penal ties to maker and wearer, and those who would not comply were declared excom municated. Even at a late period shoes were twice the longth of the foot or so long as "to prevent kneeling in devotion at God's house." In the year 1655, a company of cord wainers was incorporated in old Boston, England. By their charter it was ordered "that no person shall set up within the said borough as eordwainers until such time as they can sufficiently cut and make a boot or shoe, to bo adjudged by the wardens. * * » That if any for eigner, or person who did not serve his apprenticeship in the said borough shall bo admitted to his freedomi he shall thenpayto the wardens £3 2s. 8d. * * ■* Anil that no fellow of this corporation, his journeyman or servant, shall work on the Sabbath day, either in town or country."

Winiata was tried and condemned, and executed on August 4. He protested li is innocence to the last. .

Uai* ing his eyes to Heaven, he continued: "I am delivering my soul into Thy hands; remember me when I como into Tiiy kingdom. This is all I have to say."

Lieutenant Neville Chamberlain sends to Field the following description of an encounter lie had with a bison in the woods of the Maharajah of Mysore: "I had no companion; so "took with me one of the local shikaris, named Kampa and another man to carry my spare rifle. My battery consisted of a D. B. 8-bore ritle and a D. B. 12-bore rifle. I took the 8-bore myself, and giv ing Kampa my 12-bore, crawled up to the herd through the grass. Out of somo hiwh grass just in front of splendid old bull. mi) rose a He was only about twenty yards off, and just moving be hind a clump of bamboos, when 1 fired at the point of his shoulder with the 8 bore. A great stampede took place. The smoke hung in the long grass— which as I knelt was nearly up to my neck—and I could not sec to give him the second barrel. I ran forward, but could see nothing; so, still running, I opened the breacli of the ritle, threw°out the empty cartridge, anil was In the act pushing a fresh cartridge home, when, from behind a small thiek lump of bam boos, some live yards from mo, and about thirty yards from where I started, heard a loud snort. Kampa gasped out, 'Karti!' (bison) and vanished; and once the bull came charging down at me. I only had time, as he hurled him self at me, to spring behind a small tree on my left. He whizzed past like a bat teriug-ram, cutting a large slab of bark out with one of his boras, anil turning almost in his own length, was round at mo again. This occur red four or five times, but my atton tion was so fully taken up indodgino- him that I could notgettherifieready foruse. To mako a long story short, it ended by my catching my foot in a creeper. I fell over backward, and as I rose he ran and tossed me. One horn—I suppose left one—fortunately went clean through my breeches and flannel shirt, tearing them to ribbons, and, as far as I can remember, I seemed to sit on his head; while the other horn passed under my right arm. He threw m« a long way, and I fell on my back under some bamboos, the rifle dropping out of my hand from the shook of being tossed I was a good deal shaken and out' of breath, but I think my first thought was that now he would leave me if I keDt still; Imthc ran up again and stood over bodv, shaking his huge head over chest I thought then that it was hopeless. I could think of nothing bet to do to protect myself, so sat nn and struck him four or five times witE my fists on one eve which 1 could in«t reach when his head was down. J He shook his head and pushed me back with nose. 1 managed then to nlant sev ral severe kicks on his muzzle with my heavy hob-naded boots, and ho com meneed sparring at my legs with his horns. I did fny best to keep them out i the yvay, but got a few bruises on the shins. iThis began to get monotonous, l I knew another toss would not find friendly pair of pants. Ho was still standing over mo when I got in r, good volley of hobnails on his nose, shouted at him, aud sat up to hit him again; then, to my intense relief, he gave bellow, left me, and went crashing off down the hill.

"Did you ever see the like of it?" Regetta commenced again, "even the raisins just try to torment me; I'd like to know what I have to thank for?" "Mamma says we ought to be thank ful that wo have the raisins to fix." I "Hear it! Listen to it! Does she say Peggy Hopkins ought ful for the rheumatism?"

"Well she don't have to boil herse'f to death cooking it; somebody else does : it for her; and .as to pain, 1 guess she's ! too old and tough to feel much of that." and Kegetta laughed at what she thought, a bit of pleasantry, chucklin'* to nerself as she tossed the raisins she had been gathering up into the bowl.
