When Men are at Their Best.

DR.. Beard states that from an analysis
of the lives of thousand representative
men in all the great branches of human
efforts, he made the discovery that the
golden decade was between 30 and 40,
silver between 40 and so, and brazen be
tween 20 and 80, and the iron between
80 and 60 The superiority of youth
aud middle life over old age in original
work, appears all the greater when we
consider the fact that all positions Of
honor and prophet and pres,ige-pro
fesserships and public stations are in the
hands of the old. Reputation, like money
and position, lis mainly con6ded to the
old. Men are not widely known until
long after they had done the work that
gives them their fame. Portraits of great
men are delusion statues are lies
They are taken when men have become
famous, which on the average is at least
twenty FIVE years after they did the work
gave them their fame Original work re
quires enthusiasm. If all their original
work done by men under forty five were
annihilated, they would be reduced to
barbarism Men are at their best at that
time when enthusiasm and experience
are most evenly balanced this period on
the average is from thirty eight to forty.
After this the law is that experience
increases, enthusiasm declines In the
life of almost every old man there comes
point soner or later, when experince
ceases to have any educating power.

Butter that Should be Avoided.

For some time past an article has been
sold in this market as butter which is
nothing but compound of animal fat,
suet, milk and oil. 1t is alleged that
many reputable dealers in butter have
been induced to purchase this vile article,
and to sell it to their customers as pure
butter. Large quantities of the article
have been sold to the mill operatives in
Patterson and to the miners in Penn
sylvania, aud it has been shipped to the
West Indies, thus destroying the cha
racter of the New York market The
spectators in this compound have already
established manufacturers in this city, in
Brooklyn, New jersey, Hoboken, Newark
aud Boston, and employ persons to collect
grease and fat from butchers shops and
private dwellings, The matter has been
brought under the notice of the Butter and
Cheese Exchange, and the members have
pledged themselves not to purchase the
article, aud to do all in their power to
rid the market Of it. A sub committee
has been appointed to examine into the
matter fully, and to report the best means
TO be adopted to prevent the introduction
Of "oleonargariue," as the new butter is
called, into the market. The new article
can be manufactured for about forteen
cents per pound, and it is disposed of at
thirty cents, realizing handsome profit
for the manufacturers N Y Times.

About Spring Styles.

The day of the redugote is over, and
a favored style one has only to look in
the largest and most stylish importing
houses to be assured Never were there
lovelier patterns, and so elaborately en-
broidercd. CamePs hair cloth, vigogne,
cashmere, drap d'ete, and for summer
wear the batiste and Mexicaine. While
some are embroidered in darker shades
of silk than the material, others are done
in colors most exquisitely shaded as, for
instance, a gray garment is embroidered
with wreath of blue Canterbury bells,
the flowers shaded exactly to nature.
The effect is exceedingly lovely. Wo
men of sense, rejoice /. the demi train is
bauished from the street, and the dress
in walking swings clear of the ground
Even il the dress is cut long, it is pro
vided with buttons and loops, or drawing
strings across the back breadths, so that
it can be lifted on leaving the house. 1t
is considered the heig hit of bad taste and
vulsarity to allow the skirts to sweep the
ground. Fashion again has come TO the
rescue Of cleanliness and common sense,
and rishtfully and judiciously banished
long draperies from the street, ouly to
produce them fresher aud more graceful
10 the drawing aoom. Shrrs aud puffs
in trimming have taken the place of rui
fes and pleates. Some of the gowns are
trimmed with loose lengthwise pufs, with
two or three shirrs between. from waist
band to tip of the train. Vests are shr
red and pufcd, sometimes entire bodies
and sleeves This is a nice fashion for
the tall, slim beauties, but their shorter
sisters must periorce cling to draperics,
albeit they are not of the first mode
Thin materials will be especially pretty
made 10 this fashion white grenadines
and the cool grays in particular = Boston

A Lesson for all.

Look most to your spending. No matter
what comes in, if more goes out you will
always be poor. The art is not in max
ing money, but in keeping it; little
expenses, like mice n a large barn, when
they arc many, make great waste Hair
by hair heads get bald straw by straw
the thatch goes off the cottage, and drop
by drop the rian comes into the cham Der.
A barrel is soon empty if the tap leaks
but drop minute when you mean to
save begin with your mouth many things
pass down the red line The ale Jug is
great waste. In all other things keep
within compass. Never stretch your legs
further than the blanket will stretch, or
you will soon be cold In clothes, choose
suitable and lasting stuff, and not tawdry
Gneries. To be warm is the main thing,
never mind the looks. A fool may max e
money, but it needs wise man to spend
it. Remember it is easier to build two
chimneys than to keep one going II

nothing left for the savings bank. Fare

NO. 80.

All housekecpers have some time real
lied the difficulty of lighting fire in
still, damp morning, when the chimney
will bot draw, and vigorous blowing proves
Intellectual Science explains the trouble
as "caused by the difficulty encountered in
overcoming the inertia of the long column
of air in the pipe or chimney by the small
column of air that can be forced up
through the interstices of wood and coal.
at the bottom of which the FIRE is kindled. :"
This may be remedied by first lighting
few bits Of shavinss or paper placed upon
the top; thus, by the heated air forcing
it self iuto the chimney and establishing
thee an upward current, the room is
kept free from the gas or smoke which
is so apt to fill the room, and the fire can
then be lighted from below with good
success.

The first report of the Lehigh and

that they will be able to transport coat

rate realize a fair margin of profit

advantage, for coal can be delivered at

man who had adopted him as a child when
but twelve years old Gus. had left
home and come west to grow up with the
mou ouutains, long after Saeger's flight. and
he knew all the circumstances of the
crime. Potter is nephew of Pheiffen,
who was Saeger's right hand bower in
the robbery, and who is now serving out
fifteen years term in the Pennsylvania
Peuitentitary. He stayed with the Pot

his horse and rode out to the camp. Then,
again, he was EcGee. He made no at

to bribe the Potters into silence, and so

separation Potter notified Deputy Sheriff
Cook OF the unexpected and amazing re

The distinguished criminal suecumbed
to the officer like a little man. For the
first time in six years, he said, he was
without his pistols and bowie knife, and
resistance was useless But, he coolly
observed, that had he been armed. as
usual, somebody, and as not the officer
himself, would have bit the dust. His
herders, who were desperadoes every one
of them, would fight for him at the drop
of a bar, and fears are rife to night that
they may be bold enough to undertake

prove futile, as the Jail is strongly sen
