A Bankers Whim,

A Paris banker, self-made man who
had known the struggles of poverty in
his young days, had an old time piece
over his bed when he breathed his last
few weeks ago. When he was boy
he used to say to himself: "When you
are rich, you will buy picture-clock
representing a hamlet with its church
and in the steeple a clock and at the
foot of the village railroad, with train
in fnll motion, and on one side the sea,
with ships sailing BY" All these things
were made to work by machinery in the
clock which the rich banker bought.
The train whistled and ran along the
line, and the ships were tossed in the
sea; and the key which set them in mo-
ton was carried in the old gentleman's
pocket. The clock had the place of
honor in his drawing-room, surrounded
by paintings which cost their weight in
gold, and there it remained for years.
His wife and children did not like it.
They laughed at it. They could not
understand his within. They did not
know of all the old dreams which that
picture awakened in him. His friends
laughed at him for letting it remain in
The drswing-room. So he took it into
his own room. Whenever he wanted to
renew his youth he would wind up the
old clock, and then the steeple would
chime, the sea roar, the ships toss back
wards and forwards, and he would feel
as happy as in the old days when he
used to dream about the wonderful
treasure.

Curious Reservoirs.

One of the hottest regions of the
earth is along the Persian Gulf, where
little or no rain falls. At Bahrin the
arid shore has no fresh water, yet a
comparatively numerous population con-
trive to live there, thanks to the copious
springs which burst forth from the bot
tom of the sea. The fresh water is got
by diving. The diver, sitting in his
boat, winds great goat-skin bag around
his left arm, the hand grasping its
mouth; then he takes in his right-hand
heavy stone, to which is attached q
strong line, and thus equipped he
plunges in and quickly reaches the bot
tom. Instantly opening the bag over
the strong jet of fresh water, he springs
up the ascending current, at the same
time closing the bag, and is helped
aboard. The stone is then hauled M.
and the diver, after taking breath,
plunges in again. The source of these
copious submarine springs is thought to
be in the green hills of Osman, some
five or six hundred miles distant.

"The Blarney StOne.0

We all know, says writer in Cham
ber's Journal, What blarney is-that
soft, sweet speech in which the sons and
daughters of Erin excel. Such speech
is well named blarney, and carries us
back to the hero that made it a household
word. He was one "Cormuck Macar-
thy, who held the Castle of Blarney in
1902, and concluded an armistice with
Carew, the Lord President, on condi-
ton of surrendering the fort to the Eng
lish garrison. Day after day his lord
ship looked for the fulfillment of the
terms, but received nothing except pro-
tocols and soft speeches, till he became
the laughing-stock of Elizabeth's minis.

ney." The Barney Stone is triangu-

twenty feet from the top, containing on

endowed with irresistible powers of
persuasion, :

A DebatabIe Question.

While much has been written concerning tho
use of "put up" medicines, the question is
still an open one, and demands of the people a
careful consideration. The salient points may
be briefly stated, and answered as follows f:
1st-Are the sick capable of determining their
real condition, the nature of their malady, and
selecting the proper remedy or means OF cure
2d-Can physician, no matter how skllful,
prepare universal remedy, adapted to the
peculiar ailments of large class of people, re-
siding in different ATTITUDES, and subject to
various climatic intluences2 In answer to the
first proposition, we would say, diseases are
named and known by certain ." signs or symp-
toms, and, as the mother does not need a
physician to tell her that her child has the
whooping cough, or indicate a remedy, so peo-
Pile when afflicted with many of the symptom
concomitant to " impure blood" torpid
liver" and bad digestion require no other
knowledge Of their condition, or the remedy
indicated, than they already possess. Second
proposition-Ma physicians argue that dis.
eases arc sectionally peculiar, and that treat
ment must therefore vary, and yet quinine,
morphine, podophyllin, and hundreds of other
remedies are prescribed in all countries TO over.
come certain conditions. Is it not therefore
self-evident that a physician whose large ex-
perience has made him familiar with the many
phases incident to all impurities of the blood

pare a series of remedies exactly adap'ed tC

Debility, whether It be inherent, or caused
by overtaxed strength, or protracted illness,
has q most depressing influence upon the
mind, breeding an AFFECT melancholy nearly

Words of Wisdom.

luis but poor eloquence which only
shows that the orator can talk.
If what is said be not to the purpose
single word is already too much.
We can hardly learn humility and
tenderness enough, except by suffering.
AS nothing truly valuable can be OBJ,
tanned without Industry, SO there can be
no persevering industry without deep
sense of the value of time.
Too much reproach "o'er leaps itself,
and falls on t'other side." Pricked too
harply, the delinquent, like goaded
bull, grows sullen and savage, and the
persecution continuing, ends in rushing
madly on the spear that wounds him.
The most common error of men and
women is that of looking for happiness
somewhere outside of useful work. 1t
has never yet been found when thus
sought, and never will be while the
world stands; and the sooner the truth
is learned, the better for every one. If
you doubt the proposition, go around
among your friends and acquaintance
and select those who have the most en-
joyment through life. Are they oilers
and pleasure seekers, Or the earnest
workers. We know what your answer
will be. Of the miserable human beings
it has been cur fortune or misfortune to
know, bose were the most wretched
who had retired from useful employ
ment in order to enjoy themselves.
Truth will never die; the stars will
grow dim, the sun will pale his glory,
but truth will be ever young. Integrity,
uprightness, honesty, love, goodness,
these are all imperishable. No grave
can ever entomb these immortal princi-
pies. They have been in prison, but
they have been freer than before those
who enshrined them in their hearts have
been burned at the stake, but out OF
their ashes other witnesses have arisen.
No sea can drown, no storm can wreck,
no abyss can swallow up the everlasting
truth. You can not kill goodness and in.
tegrity and righteousness the way that
is consistent with these must be a way
everlasting,

Fashion Notes.

Rich articles of lace are growing into
favor.
Cut jet beads are very much in de-
mand.
Duchesse lace has taken the place of
point lace.
Sleeves are as small as may be worn
with comfort.
The plainest and simplest of draperies
are preferred.
Laces and fur trimmings are beaut.
fully studded with pearl beads.
Among the choice novelties of lingerie
are "Duchesse ends " on Null neckties.
The latest style of dolman has short,
square Hungarian sleeves and pelerine
front.
Yokes and pleated and gathered waists
are very becoming to tall, slender wo-
men.
Many polonaises are accompanied with
a pelerine dolman, to be worn on cool
mornings.
Half-blossomed flowers, with scant
foliage is the latest transition for bridal
garnitures.
Very fine colored embroideries are
seen on many of the newest styles of
handkerchiefs
Yokes, or trimmings producing yoke
effects, are very popular for very young
ladies' dresses.
Colored embroideries appear on many
of the handsomest sets of white collars
and deep cuffs.
Scarfs of crepe hsse, with the ends
embroidered in silks of Oriental colors,
are pretty novelties.
Handsome wedding dresses of corded
pearl white silk, are trimmed with pleat-
ings of English Grape.
Very wide linen collars and deep cuffs
are richly embroidered and trimmed
with frills of fine Torchon lace.
Yellow, of all shades, is very much in
vogue with blondes and brunettes, white
with yellow, is accepted, instead of black.
Tinsel galloons and "cloth of gold u
are trimmings now worn in Paris but
will not now appear here until the fall
season.
Macrame lace work, in the form OF
TIDES, bureau mats and chair covers, Is
the favorite fancy work for ladies at the
moment.
Gold embroidery, in fringes, lace,
tassels, balloons, passementeries, in ev-
erything, in fact, is worn in Paris, both
in the morning and evening, but it il
vulgar for all that.
Cardinal capes, dolman mantles, and
fichu mantelets are trimmed in many
cases with several rows of fiuted blnck
Spanish or French lace, headed with
moonlight and rainbow jet galloons.
Combination suits are very much liket
observe that in the imported suits o
this character, one of the colors is always
dull, while the rest are brilliantly dis
tinct and often of the most delicate
tints.
