LUCKY FRENoHMEN Louis Napoleon's
friends have profted largely, it is asserted
by the success of the Emperor. Haussmann,
who was bankrupt previous to 1851, is now
worth twenty million dollars. Rouher,
who in 1913 owned forty thousand dollars
worth of real estate, is worth at least one
million dollars. Walewski, who was very
poor.ip 1913. owns real estate worth eight
hundred thousand dollars, and as much
more in four and half per cent State loans.
Persigny, who in 1S4S was elected from
several Paris hotels for non-payment of
board bills, is not only a duke, but owns
four large country seats. two blocks Of husi7
ness houses in Paris, and about four hun
dred thousand dollars worth Of the stock Of
the Credit Foncier. Pietri, a starving adj
venturer in 1871, has now an income Of six

CosoEu Hardly anything is more onn-
temptible than the conceit which rests mere
ly upon social position--the conceit of those
who imagine that thus they are divorced
from the clay Of common men, of those who
shrink with horror from the idea of work,
as something which degrades by its very
contact, and yet who, very likely, owe their
present position to some not remote ancestor,
who recognizing his call to work, lived more
honestly in the world than they do and was
not ashamed of soilcd thumbs, It is one Of
the meanest things for people to be ashamed
of the work from which they draw their in
come, and, which glorifed their ancestors
more with their soiled aprons and black
gowns, than themselves with their fine rib
bons ank flash jewelry, 1t might be fine
thing to be like the lilies, more gloriously
clothed than Solomon, and doing nothing
if we we're only lilies. Advantageous posi-
ton is only more emphatic call to work
and while those who hold the advantage may
not be compelled to manual drudgery, they
should recognize the fact that manual drudg-
cry may be performed in the same spirit as
that which characterizes their own work, and
therefore that it is equally honorable. -Re0

ligence last night from gentleman running
on the Chattanooga railroad that an i'm
mense segment of Lookout mountain was
detached from near the top and rolled down
toward the Tennessee with terrific noise.
He assures us that one solid piece alone must
have weighed five hundred tons. 1t is
thought that some internal forces are at work
disintegrating the mountain. The people
in the neighborhood are apprehenslve Of some
impending disaster, and are all foeking into

A JUn1c1ous WIFE "A judicious wife is
always shipping from, her husbands moral
nature little twigs that are growing in wrong
directions, She keeps him in shape by con-
tinual pruning, If.you say anything silly,
she will affectionately tell you SO. If you
declare that you will do some absurd thing,
she will find means Of preventing your doing
it, And by far the chief part of all the
common sense there is in this world undues-
tionably belongs to woman. The wisest
things man commonly does are those which
his wife counsels him to do. A wife is the
grand wielder of the moral pruning knife.
If Johnson's wife had lived, there would
have been no boarding up of orange peel,
no touching all the posts in walking along
the streets, no eating and drinking with a
disgusting voraeity. If Oliver Goldsmith
had been married, he would never have worn
that memorable and ridiculous coat When
ever you find man whom you know little
about, oddly dressed, or talking absurdly
or exhibiting any eccentricity of manner,
you may be tolerably sure that he is not a
married man; for the corners are rounded
of-the little shoots are pared away-in
married men. Wives have generally much
more sense than their husbands, especially
when their husbands are clever men The
wife's advices are like ballast that keeps the
ship steady they are the wholesome sheers,
shipping off little growths of self conceit. .

The K1ssoMETER.-On of the peculiar

The K1ssoMErER.-On of the peculiar
arrangements in connection with gas has
been christened the ''kissometcr. By
driving gas under pressure through long
but fine burner, very slender fame some
two feet long is obtained. This, from some
cause yet unexplained, is sensitive to the
slightest sharp or sibillaut sound, even at
long distances. Jingle a bunch of keys at
the other end of a long room and the fame
will dodge as if shot, lowering to only eight
or ten inches in height II you stand near
and talk to it it will remain perfectly quiet
down she goes. AS yet is an unexplained
curiosity, and the only practical application
proposed is that it should be used by anxi-
GUS mothers to sound the number Of KISSES
between the young folks in the parlor; for
kisses are articles of which it seems to be
peculiarly afraid .-NashuiNe Banner.

from potato bugs are reported in the papers,
One woman in Minnesota lost her life by
eating her dinner in the field where she had
no opportunity to wash her hands before

They say ''there should be no doubt of
Grant carrying at least these" They hope
for others, Of course, but venture to count
only the above. This estimate, therefore, is
a concession and admits the failure of Radi-
calism in the great States that have hitherto
given it force in the nation. ...-.
But what right have they to count even
the States they name ?, They count them on
the strength Of past votes but this is a time
in which people 60 completely over from one
side TO the other Of political divisions, as we
recently saw in Oregon From the fact that
we are reasoning for such period we should
be very slow to project the future from the
past. New York is not counted for Grant,
because of recent changes but how can any
man say that changes of the same tendency
will not drop from the Grant list several

THE HEARTS, GUESTS

When age has cast its shadows
Ger life's declining way,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day,
There we shall sit and ponder
On the dim and shadowy past;
Within the hearts still chamber
The guests will gather fast.
The friends in youth we cherished
Shall come to us once more,
Again TO hold communion,
AS in the days of yore,
3 They may bestern and somber,
They may be young and fair,
But the heart will have its chamber,
The guests shall gather there.
How shall it be, my sisters
Who, then, shall be our guests
How shall it be my brothers,
When lifes shadows on us rest?
Shall we not midst the silence,
In accents soft and low,
Then hear familiar voices, M $500
And words of long ago?
Shall we not see dear faces, IN
Sweet smiling as of old,
Till the mists of that still chamber
Are sunset clouds of gold,
When age has cast its shadows
Ger life's declining way,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day!

The Armenian inhabitants of Turkey are
taking into serious consideration the propri-
ETY. of emigrating to the United States. Very
recently an Armenian gentleman has arrived
in this country with the view of finding a
proper location in the Southern States for a
colony of two hundred Armenian families.
At meeting of a number Of his countrymen
in New York, this gentleman stated that
there was in Constantinople a considerable
body of Protestanized Armenians, who en-
tertained desire to find land of religious
liberty where they might settle, and said that
the American missionaries had pointed to the
Southern States of America as the promised
land, and also as region having a climate
similar to that of the countries bordering on
the Mediterranean. ..lr sIy .y.Hg5 ,X
