Wealth may bring luxuries, but
luxuries do not alwaj s bring happiness.
It is more from carelessness about
truth than from intentional lying that
there is so much falsehood in the world.
Johnson.
i There are people who think so
much of themselves that others are shut
out and think nothing of them. O.
Ficayune.
Nothing goes so fast as time, so
they sa'; and yet there are plenty of
men who find no trouble in passing it.
Charlestown Enterprise.
Hyperbole "What an outrage to
cram so many into this railway coupe."
4T should say so! Why, a sardine is a
hermit in comparison." Flicgende
Blatter.
i Lady (in St. Louis bookstore) "I
will look at some books, please." Pro
prietor "Yes, ma'am What color and
size?" Lady "Blue and gold, I think,
and something about nine inches long
and five inches wide." A7". II San.
' "I never complained of my con
dition but once," said an old man,
"when my feet were bare, and I had no
money to buy shoes; but I met a man
without ftjet, and I became content."
Western Plonqhman.
I -A cynical old bachelor said: "Ideas
are like beards; nobody ever has any till
he's grown up." And how is it with
women?" asked a lady; "they never
have any beards at all." "Nor ideas
either," answered the ruffianly old bach
elor. Ar. Y. Ledger.
According to the Globe, "Short men
prefer tall wives, because they desire to
rise in the world by proxy." Rather
say they desire to rise in the morning by
proxy, neighbor; the real reason for
'short men preferring tall wive3 is that
they want women they can respect look
up to, as it were. Boston Transcript.
When a popular young woman quit
Worcester the other day she was ac
companied to the railway station by
twenty other young women and one
young man; and after the train arrived,
and while the conductor waited for her,
she calmly kissed everj' one of the
t we nt3-one friends and then quietly got
abroad.
"Did you see my picture in the
paper to-day, dear?" inquired a young
traveler who had taken quite an interest
in politics, as he came into the house
the other evening. "Yes, I did and
and " Here she burst into tears.
"Why, what's the matter? Why does
it make you cry?" "Why, Jack, I'm
so disappointed. If I had known you
looked like that. I'd never have married
you." Merchant Tra veler.
ungiu or 'jomets.
While agreeing in general with the theory
that comets have their origin beyond the
limits of the solar system, Professor Daniel
Kirkwood finds proof, he avers, that some of
those of short periods are minor planets,
whoso orbits in the asteroid zone have been
changed through the jterturbing influence of
the large planets. The third comet of 1SS4,
for instance, seems to have been drawn from
the Asteroids by Jupiter in May, 1875.
Adulteration of White Lead.
To ascertain if white lead has Wn adulter
ated by permanent white or sulphate of
baryta the commonest adulterant, boil a
Email quantity of it in a glass test tube with
nitric acid diluted with an equal measure of
water. The white lead dissolves, but the
baryta remains as a whit residue. This
should ha allowed to settle, the clear liquid
poured off and the deposit again treated with
nitric acid and then boiled with water.
Desiccated Uodles From Dakota.
Five bodies taken by a miner from a cave
In the Bad Lands of Dakota and sent to the
Smithstonian institution, are simply dried up,
not petrified. They are, however, in a re
markable state of preservation. Scientific
men who have seen them say they belong to
a race which existed 2,tXX) 3'ears ago. This
will b a vtry important addition to the col
lection of desiccated lodies now on exhibition
In the national museum.
How Vultures Find Carrion.
The methods by which vultures find carrion
Is disclosed by their habit of distributing
themvelves like sentinels over wide tracts of
countr-. Their keen eyes, as they circle over
mik-s of territory, scan every object, tele
graphing to tbe adjoining sentinel, many
miles away, the discovery of prey. In this
ay, during the Crimean war, it 13 said that
the vultures of northern Africa flocked in
scores around the contending armies, corning
from thousands of miles.
