The ThrinIessness Of Professional
Men

The laborer who has saved money is
better fitted perhaps than any one tn
employ to advantage the kind Of labor
in which he himself is versed. But the
LAWYER or the author who has saved
money has no way open to him of turn
ing, at the same time, both his knowl-
edge and his money TO account by the
successful employment of the talents OF
other authors in undertakings like unto
his own. Perhaps, indeed, something
of this kind happens when n very popu-
lar author like Dickens turns editor,
and collects round him a staff of clever
writers. who admire his genius and are
even disposed to copy his mannerisms.
But the ease is exceptional, and rs a
rule it so seldom turns out that the very
successful author happens to have the
qualities of a successful editor and jour
nalist, that exceptions of this kind may
be put aside as irrelevant. No doubt
one of the great reasons why profess
sional men are, on the whole, so thrift
less in proportion to their gains is this
that the occupation which absorbs
their energies is not one the gains of
which can be extended by the help OF
iudicious saving and investment. "A
man cannot be successful i'm commerce,
nor, indeed, very successful even as a
skilled laborer, without a strong motive
for saving i'm order to secure more sue
cess, either of the same sort, or at least
of a closely analogous sort. But pro-
fessional man who is very successful
rarely has strictly professional motive
for saving. The more his heart is alb
sorbed in his work. the less he thinks
of providing for himself in directions
which are in no way bound up with
his work.

EQUINE Eecentricfty.

In London, England, short time
since, a horse died suddenly, and on
being cut up was found to have large
assortment of articles i'm his stomach.
There were found 1000 nails of all
sizes, number of screws, large and
small, buttons and other things, not
reckoned as food for the noble animal.
At Yarmouth another horse, bolted and
threw his driver, and made a bee line
for nowhere. He was turned into a cul
de sac, at the end of which were some
stout iron gates. Every one thought
they had him sure, but not SO, he dashed
through the iron gates, and, liking it so
well, took another of great height in his
wav, scrambled over a stone wall, and
would have been going now, but brick
wall brought him TO, it being eighteen
feet high he thought he would take
that too, unchanged his mind. Strange
to say he was not injured in the least
from these athletic feats. An iron rail-
ing had run through his nostrils and
broken off, which had to be removed by
force. also another one from his throat,
but he never minded these trifles. There
is great deal of iron i'm him still, which
may work out in time. So much did he
embed into his hide that he may well be
called the iron horse.

The Tides Of the Chesapeake.

The subject of the tides has been one
of interest to mariners and landsmen
for a long time. \ curious fact As
stated, is that it is always ebb tide at
Cape Henry at moon rising or setting
is always low tide at Hooyer's Straits at
moonrise or setting, and high tide at
Sandy Point at the same time, and flood
tide at all points above Sandy Point
when the moon rises or sets. A vessel
entering the capes with strong fair
wind at the beginning of the flood tide
may carry the same tide to Baltimore.
But vessel leaving Baltimore fer the
capes will encounter three flood tides
on her way no matter how fast she may
sail. and il may be she vii have TO con-
tend against several more if she has a
dead wind. Every flood tide that en-
tiers the Chesapeake bay goes to the
head of every tidewater stream or tribu-
tary of the bay, while the same ebb tide
does not run more than sixty miles, and
sometimes a great deal less, so that there
are always two ebb tides and two Hood
tides in the Chesapeake bay at the same
time. and sometimes three of enc or the
other. The flood tide runs about six
hours, the ebb little longer, so that
twelve hours and forty minutes are re-
quired for a flood tide and ebb tide to
pass the same point. 1t is always flood
tide i'm the Wicomico river on the morn
ing of Easter, and the same at Whit
suntide.

suggested the Ionic volute. A blaze Of
coiOrs adorned the architecture and
charmed the eve, and picture was its
pleasure In sculpture the hardest
materials, the rose granite, the green
basalt, as well as the soft limestone,
were carved into required shapes, ad-
justed to rigid canon. The walls
swarmed with colored patterns, devices,
and hieroglyphs, miniature portraits Of
things in heaven, on earth, and under
the water. Architecture, sculpture, and
painting descended as mourners to the
grave. In the dark sepulchral passages
where no sunlight enters the torch re-
veals careful though unshaded painting,
and brilliant colors laid in tempera on
the walls by the artist, who must have
worked by the gloomy flicker of the
lamp. In chambers of the pierced and
tunneled hills lay the mummies of the
illustrious dead. For, from the earliest
age, the corpse was an object of solici-
tude; ii was expected to have a revival
Of the vital spark. No sooner had the
wall of anguish passed the lips of those
that loved it than the grim ministers OF
embalmment took it into their keeping.
The paraschistes or dissector opened the
side with an Ethiopian stone, the yiscera
and softer parts were removed: the
body was soaked in various salts stepped
in liquid resins. and even boiled in wax
or bitumen. No pains were spared to
make il retain the outward appearance
of its living FORM Bandages of linen
were then carefully wound around it,
ard hundreds of yards packed ii with
pledgets into a symmetrical shape. Ii
was then consigned TO its coffin or sar-
cophagus, gaily painted or elaborated,
sculptured with appropriate mortuary
scenes and funeral prayers, accompanied
with the paraphernalia of the tomb, the
boxes, jars, and other objects deposited
for its use. The service ef the dead was
then performed. Hired mourners
chanted dirges or simulated the tears,
the groans, and cries of grief, tore their
hair or beat their breasts in pantomimic
woe. Transported to the barge, the
Egyptian hearse, it fiOated down the
Nile to the site of some favorite cemetery
to the Pyramid fields of Memphis
the sepulchre of Osiris at Abydos-or
the rocks of Gournah in the Theban
quarter. Even the litanies or masses
continued to be said at intervals as long
as families could pay or the local priest
hood pray; and the tombstone invited
the passer-by TO recite a brief formula
for the dead that he might enjoy all the
good things of this life in the future
state, pass in and out of Hades, and the
soul transmigrate as it wished.-Birch' s

Losing n Dip.

al am sorry you were not at recita-
ton yesterday" said college profess
sor to one of his students, as the young
man rose to recite; - ''you lost dip by
your ABSENCE 'Lost a dip sir?
don't quite understand you," said the
student. "Did you never see tallo*
candles made by dipping?" asked the
professor .s1,he cotton wicking for the
candles is strung on rods, a dozen pieces
on a rod. One by one the rods are held
over a vessel of melted tallow, and the
wicks are dipped into the heated grease.
Then the rods are set aside for the tai
low to cool on the wicks. When all
have been once dipped, the process is
commenced anew. AT each successive
dipping the candles are a little larger
than before, and so they grow to COM
pletiOn. We are doing similar work
in this class day by day. Yesterday
the others of the class were dipped
again, and trust their minds took on
something more of our subject of study
and are the larger in consequence. You
lost one dip by your absence, and !
fear you will not easily overtake your
classmates who were here. If you
want your mind to grow you must be
careful not to lose a single dip which
would expand it," The student never
forgot that illustration. 1t may be sug-
gestiye to people of all professions.

fine Points.

1t requires nice discrimination to
Justly draw lines of demarkation be-
tween firmness and bigotry, prudence
and meanness, bravery and arrogance,
fearlessness and recklessness, caution
and cowardiee, dignity and Indifference.
When low nature, or an ignorant ma
ture. has suddenly become rich, he only
widens the channel and stream of his
wickedness or folly. When a gambler
wins he does not buy library, nor
build a cottage, but he doubles his
stakes and plays again, because the
gain of money did not bring him AN
increase of character. An English
satirist sang years ago, that when an
epicu-e finds his fortune doubled he
Immediately doubles the quantity and
expensiveness of his food. His sudden
riches have marked out no new path.
All he can do is to intensity the old life.

DROUGHT.

For rain, for rain the pArched lands cry,
Reproachful to the cloudless sky.
The hot white fields in light are blinking.
The rivers in their beds arc shrinking
For rest, for rest the weary cry
That watch from dark to dawn the sky;
A little sleep their limbs are craving.
A little rest from ceaseless raying.
God gives in His good time the rain.
And sends the sick man peace for pain;
But while we wait His gracious sending.
Alas, the sad days seem uneDding.
Yet, when the evening comes, the dew
Brings to the fields . fragrance new;
And loving smiles at days returning
viii soethe awhile the sick mans yearning

The Egyptian OF the Time OF Pharaoh.

The Egyptian sat either on chair or
else on the ground, often on the knees.
sometimes with the legs crossed. In
PRAYER he knelt or stood, but always
raised both hands, with the palms out
ward before him. Slaves and interiors
sat to hear the words of their superiors,
or even prostrated themselves on the
belly before them, and the sandals were
taken off when approaching the royal
presence. The head was either shorn.
covered with wig or else close fitting
cap, according to the caste and sex.
Great politeness was observed, spirit
of hospitality prevailed, and the scribes
often inveighed against the abuse OF
wine and beer, freely INDUCED in by
youth. For amusements, jugglers, aero
bats. and pantomimic dances helped to
shorten the weary hours, with the game
of draughts or robbers, that of the base
played with many pieces, and mora.
Women sported at ball, danced, spun,
and sewed. The youthful aristocracy
INDUCED in the pleasures of the chase,
harpooned the crocodile or hippopota-
mus, shot, with arrows, gazelles and
other game or animals, trapped the
hyena, netted fish or waterfowl, and
angled in the pond or stream. At an
early age the military caste went to
barracks and were drilled to Egyptian
arms, the bow and arrow, the dagger,
lance, mace, and shield, or were in
structed in the management of the horse
and chariot, although it was usually
driven by groom or coachman. The
art of writing was early taught, and the
education extended TO the circle OF
Egyptian literature. Elegant furniture
adorned the house: chairs and foot
stools, couches and head-rests, orpillows
In shape of lune upon stand, with
cushions and pillows Of feathers of the
waterfowl. The public architecture
was on the grandest scale, and dwarfs
the Greek on comparison. Gigantic
columns with lotus or papyrus capitals
lowered to a height of sixty feet. Others,
the models of the Greek Doric, appear
at the early period ofthe twelfth dynasty
while, at later time, the lotus capital

Life and its Ends.

Remember for what purpose you
were born, and, through the whole OF
life, look at its end. Consider, when
that comes, in what you will put your
trust. Not i'm the bubble of worldly
vanity-it will be broken; not In
worldly pleasures-they will be gone
not in great ccnnectisns-they cannot
serve you: not i'm wealth-you cannot
carry it with you; not in rankin the
grave there is no distinction; notin the
recollection of a life spent in . giddy
conformity to the silly fashions of a
thoughtless and wicked world; but
in that of life spent soberly, right
eously and wisely in this present world.

The Color Eye.-A series of five in
yestigatiOns has been made by kunkel
on the dependence of the sensitiveness
of the eye to colors, upon the duration
of light. The results may be summar-
lied as follows The, various cOlOrs of
the spectrum require different times in
Order:to bring about an impression:
This time is shortest of all for red, and
greatest for blue. For the same cOlOrs
the maximum impression peculiar to
the color is reached in shorter times in
proportion as the intensity of the color
Increases. By these results of Kunkel
we are reminded of the similar inves-
LEGATIONS of HemhOltz and of Mayer,
the latter having shown that, in the
case of sound, the ear is more sensi-
tive to sounds of high than of low IN
