The OltiNn Things.

Az We grow older, says Oliver Wendell
Holmes, we think more and moro OF old
persons and of old things and places. Az
To old persons, IL seemed M IL we never
knew how much they had to tell until we
are old ourselves and they have been gone
twenty or thirty years. Once in while
we come upon some survivor OF his or her
generation that we have overlooked, and
feel Ms il We had recovered one Of the lost
books Of Livy or fished up the golden
candlestick from the ooze OF the Tiber.
So IL was the other day after my reminis
cences OF the old gambrel-roofed house
and its visitors. They found an echo in
the recollections OF one OF the brightest
and liveliest Of my suburban, friends,
whose memory is exact about everything
except her own age, which, there can be
no doubt, she makes out a score or two
of years more than il really is. Still she
was old enough to touch some lights and
a shadow OF two-into the portraits l had
drawn, which made me wish that she and
not l had been the artist who sketched
the pictures. Among the lesser regrets
that mingle with graver sorrows for the
friends of an earlier generation we have
lost, are our omissions to ask them so
many questions they could have answ cred
so easily, and would have been SO pleased
to be asked. There | say to myself
sometimes, in an absent mood, l must
ask her about that. But she of whom l
am now thinking has long been beyond
the reach of any earthly questioning, and

One OF the subjects talked and written
about good deal nj tho present time,
is-lIow to live Cheaply. Prices of all
the great staples of life are high. Rents
are enormous. Fashions are exacting,
Wants multiply, while resources dimiu-
ish. How TO make strap and buckle
meet. is the problem which presses ON
hundreds Of housekeepers Of the middle
class. The difficulty in the problem is
to reconcile irreconcilables. The mid
die class family generally wants all the
fine things, all the style and display OF
wealthy neighbors. The problem would
simplify itself at once, would the middle
class family cease trying TO appear what
il il not, and be content to appear and
be thought Just what il is. Ii is what Is
done to keep up appearances that de-
stroys the equilibrium between outgo
and income, and makes life drudeely
and vexation. How to live cheaply is n
question easy enough to answer il one
will be content with cheap living.
Substitute comfort for show. Put con
venience in the place of fashion. Study
simplicity. Refuse to be begliiled into
style OF living above what Is required
by, your position in society and is iusti-
fed by your resources. Set fashion OF
simplicity, neatness, prudence, and IN
expensiveness, which others will be glnd
to follow and thank you for introducing.
Teach yourself to do without a thousand
and one pretty and snowy things which
wealthy people purchase. and pii de your
self on being as happy without them as
your riehneighbors are 'itlHtAm, Put

partments than most Of Weir 1lthy
neighbors are in their spl91 did esd lish-
ments. 1t does not follow that in tnler
TO live cheaply, one must live meanly.
The great staples of life are not costly.
Taste, refinement, good cheer, wit, and
even elegance are inexpensive. There is
no trouble about young people marrying
with no outfit but health and love and
honest purpose, provided they will prac-
tise the thrift and prudence to which
their grandparents owed all their sue
cess, and make their thought aud love
supply what they lack in the means Of
display. Those who begin life Mt the
top of the ladder generally tumble off,
while those who begin at the foot acquire
steadiness, courage, and strength of arm
and will as they rise. -GOlden Age

A MEDICAL MIsER. anecdote is
related of Velpau, the eminent French
surgeon, who was a misery, disagree
able man, and died some few years ago.
He had successfully performed on lit

and said Monsieul, my son is saved,

my gratitude. Allow me, however, to
present you this pocket-book, embroid-
cred by my own hands. "Oh, Madame, y
replied Velpau, sharply, my art is not
merely question OF feeling. Ny life
has its requirements ike yours. Dress
even, which is luxury to you, is neces-
sary for me Allow me, therefore, to
refuse your charming little present in
exchange for more substantial remu-
neration." "But, Monsieur, what re-
Enumeration do you desire ? Fix the fee
yourself. Five thousand francs.
Madame" The lady very quietly opened
the pocket-book, which contained ten
thousand francs in notes. counted out
five thousand, and after politely handing
them over to Velpau, retired Imagine

SOLDIERS HoMEsTEADs.- recent amend
ment to the Homestead Act, under which the
veterans of our late Army and Navy can secure
free homesteads of 100 acres near the lines of
the great land grant railroads, by one or two
years residence instead of five, is very natur-

Living on SOciable Terms with Tigers.

Colonel Gorden Cumming, in his work
on "Wild Men and Wild Beasts" tells
the following amusing anecedote
"While sitting at breakfast, We were
alarmed by hearing cries of distress pro
ceeding from the Jagheerder's hut, and
on running out to ascertain the cause,
we found "old Kamah in Il furious state
of excitement, his left hand firmly fixed
in the woody pate of the hopeful scion
of his house, and beaboring HIM sound
ly with a stout bamboo. We inquired
what crime young Moideen had been
guilty of, to bring upon him such storm
of parental indignation, and learned to
our establishment, that it was all owing
to his having killed tiger One of his
fathers tame butialoes having been kill
ed by tiger on the previous day, the
young savage had watched for him dur
ing the night, and shot him from tree
when he returned to feed upon the car
cass. This, most people would have con-
sidered very gallant ard meritorious
exploit on the part of lad of fifteen,
but the old forester was of a different
opinion.
1t was all very well, he said for
us who lived in the open country to
wage war with tigers, but with him, who
lived on sociable terms with them in the
Jungle, the case was different. | have no
quarrel with tigers | never injured
one of them, they never injured me, and
while there was peace between us, went
among them without fear of danger
But now that this young rascal has pick
ed quarrel and commenced hostilities,
there is no saying where the feud will
end >"

POISONOUS CoLoRs. tar colors
are frequently the cause of distressing
SYMPTOMS in the human economy. Ami
line itself is a poison, and all colors that
contain it in an unchanged state are con-
sequentlv more or less toxic in their ac-
ton. The agents employed in the prepa-
ration of aniline colors are in many in
stances very deleterious. Among these
are the compound of arsenic, zinc, tin,
anthony, lead, together with by drochlo-
ric and picric acids. The common or
inferior colors prepared from residues
are especially dangerous, and are. on ac-
count of their cheapness, employed in
coloring paper-hangings, wooden toys,
matches, India rubber articles, and con-

are also extensively used, and sewing
