The EFFECTS OF WoRRY.-That the effects of
worry are more to be dreaded than those of
simple hard work is evident from noting the
classes of persons who suffer most from the ef-
fects of mental overstrain. The easement book
of the physician shows that it is the speculator,
the betting-man, the railway manager, the
great merchant, the superintendent of large
manufacturing or commercial works, who most
frequently exhibit the symptoms of cerebral
exhaustion. Mental cares accompanied with
suppressed emotion, occupations liable to great
vicssitudes of fortune, and those which involve
the bearing on the mind of multiplicity of
intricate details, eventually break down the
lives of the strongest. In estimating what may
be called the staying powers of different minds
under hard work, it is always necessary to take
early training into account. Ayoung man cast
suddenly into position involving great care
and responsibility, will break down in crcum
stances in which, had he been gradually hab-
ituated to the position, he would have perform
ed its duties without difficulty. 1t is probably
for this reason that the professional classes gen.
orally suffer less from the effects of overstran
than others. They have long course of pre-
liminary training, and their work comes on
them by degrees therefore when it does come
in excessive quantity, it finds them prepared
for it. Those, on the other hand, who sudden
ly vault into position requiring servere men
tai toll, generally die before their time.-Cham-

A SHARP REToRT.-A writer in the London
Sporting Gazette tells this good story of the late
Bishop of Winchester, DR.. Wilberforce, famili-
arly known as "Soapy Sam: "Havng drift
ed unconsciously into clerical society, before
leave it | may continue my gossip with an an
ecdote of the late Bishopof Winchester, which
is a pleasant illustration of his ready wit, and
also Of his sympathy with field sports, COM
bina3ion which. o. course. recommends bin. e
lne .,gard Of readers of the Sporting Gazette.-
The bbhop was not much of practical sports
man, ht when on visit at the county seat Of
Lord - during the shooting season he was
persuaded one day to join the shooting party.
He entered with considerable zest into the sport
and on ais return his host mentioned that his
game-koeper was Dissenter, and although he
did not wish to interfere in the religious opin-
ions of lis servants, still, he confessed that it
was an annoyance to him that this man alone,
of all his servants, should abstain from going
to churh it didn't look we'll, and he thought
that penaps the Bishop, if he would undertake
the task might talk the man over and induce
him to become church-goer. The Bishop
laughin@y consented, and went at once to the
keepers cottage. He soon put the good man at
his ease by those winning manners which
charmed all with whom he came in contact,
and gradually led the conversation to the point
atissue, Until quite naturally the question came,
"By-the-ty, how is it that l don't see you at
church? You know it's our duty to look after
these thirgs. Surely you don't find anything
in the Billie against going to church" "No,
my lord, "returnctthas sturdy Dissenter; "neith-
er do find anything in the Bi6reta warrant q
preacher of the Gospel in going out shooting
The Apostles never did" "No," retorted the
Bishop, not to be posed "true, they had nc
game in Palestine in those days. They went
out fishing instead"

LIGHT CAREs.-What a pity it is that young
married folks will not emulate the example of
japanese housekeepers They are troubled
very little by household cares. few mats, a
chest of drawers for clothing, two or three
quilts for bed on the floor, some simple kitch-
en- utensils, and their houses are furnished
They have never known the use of bedstead,
a chair, or table, as we understand these ar
ticles and yet, these people have all the vir-
tues of civilization, and perhaps not quito all
its vices. They are polite, generous, hospita-
BILE, perform their religious duties with exem-
plary piety, and if cleanliness is next to godli-
ness, they are much more godly than we are,
for they are the cleanest people on the earth,
according to the general testimony of travellers.
We have certainly much to learn before our
houses can be immacutely neat as theirs are
The habit of doffing street boots and assuming
slippers before entering a room does much to-
wards keeping houses cleaner than our own.-
poor Japanese housewife really enjoys more
ease, after her simple duties are done, than
many of our wealthiest danes who are weigh
ed down with the cares of an extravagant es-
tablishment. And as for young people ust en-
tering life-compare their lot with that Of the
people under discussion, and, if an ease loving
person, you will soon render verdict in favor
of Japanese housekeepers.

POSTAGE SrAMPs.-Small and Insignificant as
they individually, collectively they are
numbered by billions, and are worth many
millions of dollars. There are now in use one
hundred and three different classes of postage
stamps, and twenty-six thousand sheets of one
hundred stamps each are printed each working
day The number of stamps used annually is
about $50 OOO, 900, and their average is $4,000,
OOO 70 prevent error and fraud the sheets of
stamps are counted and recounted ten or twelve
times. They are distributed by mail to about
thirty-fve thousand post offices in the nted
States, and orders are received daily for about
13,OO0,OOO stamps. A government ageut gives
his receipt for the stamps and obtains cores
ponding receipts from those to whom they are
distributed. They are manufactured by the
Continental Bank Note Company, and during
the month of July the company had stock on
hand of 75,OOO,OOO stamps, valued at 50 ,2O3,OOO.
Of these 54,776, 800 were three cent stamps,
167 500 cent, and 5651 200 two cent stamps.

BY ETHEL LYNN

Hark the click of wire insensate,
Jotting viewless words of fate,
Speaking doom in nimble measures,
While its eager prompters wait,
Shading light, and lightning shadows,
Stamping notices coldly terse,
Listen to one single message,
This-"Come, quickly, mothers worse"
Daughter May fling down thy jewels,
Bride and bell, at revel bright
They will miss while May in sorrow
Faces home and coming night.
Night, that brings such sad to morrows,
Always to some mourner's reft,
Night, that may bring no tomorrow
In the land soul has left.
Harold close the open ledger,
Blot and blur the last amount,
Life that gave you life is fitting
Slowly to its last account,
Gentle Georgie-best beloved,
Leave the toll of brush and pen,
Lay the head with silver shaded
On your shoulder once again.
Hayward Will-forsake the wessail,
Stop and think as best you may
Of the love, whose like will never
Meet you till your dying day.
Yet her patient blessing waits you,
You-whose failing others curse;
Let the words bring quick contrition,
Will-"Come quickly, mothers worse''
Children, gather in about her,
So your meeting hands shall clasp,
Cradle her from earth to heaven,
Till the angels bending grasp
At her shining gar rrrvrIts SI..riiIx
On the path among the stars,
And before the soul triumphant
Lowered lie the crystal bars.
There is no wire electric yonder,
Where the peaceful spirits rest
For coming ill, nor wailing message
To the soul supremely blest,
But ever still when stars are watching,
Thrilling through the space between,
mother seems to send her greeting
By pathway all unseen.

A PUZZLED JURY.-In one of the towns of
Mississippi two colored men were arrested on
thecharge of burglary. The jury before whom
they were tried were all colored. After the
case was tried, they retired and made up YER
dict. which was announced to the court On
being called, the Judge asked for the verdict
which the foreman delivered as follows:
"Dis jury find dat one of the 'cuse busted in
the sto and stole dat air bacon, and dat de oder
didn't do muffin"
(Which one do you find guity?" asked the
juSgs
"Dat's de question, boss" returned the FORE
man; "dat's jes' what we can't find out, and
we recommend dat de honorable coat jes' have
annoder trial, and find out which oh dem two
niggers stole dat air bacon"

WOMEN IN GERMANY.-Frederick ecker, says
the Lancaster (Pa.) Express, the noted German
to whom we referred the other day as being on
his way home from visit to Germany, in a
recent letter, writes thus of the condition OF
women among the laboring classes there;
"The condition of the women among the la
boring classes in the country is really revolt
ing. will not speak of the cities, where wo,
men carry mortar up three or four stories, and
work in other respects like beasts of burden,
but will only mention what hundreds OF Ger
man Americans have observed as well as my
self. thought it bad enough to see father and
son lazily smoking on wagon, while the poor
mother on foot drove the oxen; but would
willingly have horse-whipped young fellow
who sat reclining on heapof grass with which
kind of wagon was loaded, while his poor
mother drew it along. But the worst OF all
was man guiding plow to which his wife
and a cow were yoked together! One is struck
with the number of women who have to per-
form the heaviest farm work, while one is no
less panied to see poor old men and women
bent with age, toling from sunrise to sunset
When questioned on the subject, the reply is,
MY son is in the army"
