AphOrisms.

1 find nothing in physiology which in
dicates that the woman's intellect is
organically inferior to the mans intel
lect. 1t has simply drifted, without the
highest self-control and direction; yet
there is no manifest deficiency of vol
untary power.I In morals and in the
practical conductof life the self-guiding
tendency has been ever greater in women
than in men.-Antoinette B. Blackwell.
Alas it is not till time with reckless
hand has torn out half the leaves from
the book of human life, that man begins
to see that the leaves which remain are
few in number; and to remember,
family at first and then more clearly,
that upon the early pages of that book
was written story which he would fain
read over again.-Longtello'o.
1t is very easy to pick holes in others
work, but it is far more profitable to dc
better yourself. Is there fool in all
the world that cannot criticise? Those
who can themselves do good services
are but as one to a thousand compared
with those who can see faults in the
labor of others.
To put ourselves in a passion, in con.
sequence of the misconduct of others
is unquestionably very weak behavior
but it has also something generous about
it; for we are very clearly annoying
and Furnishing ourselves, when the of
tenders only ought to have been the suf
ferers.
We both read and hear bitter com
plants about the uncertainty of hu
name affairs; and yet it is that uncer
tainty alone that gives life its relish, fo
novelty is the real and radical cause o
all our enjoyment.

Coal Mines in Kansas.

The Coal Trade Revieac says: The
Western country is fast being settled,
and the first need, almost, is fuel. In
Lynn, Bourbon, Crawford and Cherokee
Counties there is little use for timber,
except for stock-shelter, for nearly their
entire area is underlaid with the famous
Cherokee coal measures. The coal fields
of Bourbon, Crawford and Cherokee
Counties are among the riches in the
whole Missouri Valley. Fort Scott and
Cherokee Goals are mined on a large
scale, and from the shafts and drifts of
Carbon, Pittsburg and other mining
points, one hundred car loads are daily
raised and shipped all over Kansas and
Nebraska. With the rapid development
of the vast non-coal-bearing country to
the west and north these fields will be
more and more developed. The veins
are from thirty inches to four feet in
thickness, and from Outcroppings along
the ravines and streams, to depth OF
forty and sixty feet on the higher
grounds, are easily and cheaply worked
by drifting" and shafting, and, in
deed, very often by " stripping" off the
earth as stone quarry is stripped.
Their prospective value is vastly en-
chanced by their near relations to the
great open prairie region west and
north, wherein the fuel market is be-
coming almost unlimited. Right here
at home, too, in the very midst of the
coal field, are the richest lead mines in
.America-the Shot Creek lead mines
(only discovered last Year,, of Cherokee
County, are already found to be richer
than those of Galena and Mineral Point
while half dozen miles beyond, jus
over the Missouri line, are the famous
Joplin lead mines, covering thirty square
! miles of country.

Something About Fat Men.
(Rocbester union \

An enterprising reporter, in writing
Mr.. Lambert's obituary, said Nature
had endured all the trespass she could
admit; the poor mans corpulency had
constantly increased until the clogged
machinery of life stood still, and this
prodigy of mammoth was numbered
with the dead. His coffin contained
one hundred and twelve superficial
feet Of elm, and was six feet foGr
inches long, four feet four inches
wide, and two feet four inches
deep, and the immense substance of his
legs necessitated its being made in the
form of a square case. 1t was built
upon two axle-trees and four cog
wheels, and upon these the remains Of
the great man were rolled into the
grave. A regular descent was made to
the grave by cutting away the earth for
some distance. The apartments which
he had occupied were on the ground
floor, as he had been long incapable of
ascending staircase. The window and
part of the wall Of the room in which he
died had to be taken down to make a
passage for the coffin. Another great
man was grocer named John Bright,
living at Maldon, in Essex. He may
have been said to have been born great,
and he was of family noted for the
great size and appetites of its members.
Bright enjoyed good health, married al
the age of twenty-five, and had five
children. He was cheerful compan.
ion, a kind husband, a tender father, q
good master and an honest man. He
died in his thirtieth year at the net
weight of six hundred and sixteen
pounds. . His coffin was three feet
three inches broad at the shoulders
and more than three feet deep. A
way was cut through the wall and
staircase of his house to let it down into
the shop. 1t was drawn to the church
ON a low-wheeled carriage by twelve
men, and was let down into the grave by
an engine fixed on the church for that
purpose. After his death wager was
laid that five men, each swenty-one
years of age, could be buttoned in hi,
waistcoat. 1t was tried, and not only
five men, but seven men, were inclosed
in it without breaking stitch or strain
ing button. Navarro has not quite
reached the proportions of either oi
these men, but he is quite young vet
and if he increases in the next ten year
as much as he has in the past ten, h,
will go down to history as the fattes
man on record.

The Printer and His Types.

Perhaps there is no department of en-
terprise whose details are less under
stood, by intelligent people, than the
cart preservative," the achievements of
the types.
Every day, their life long, people are
accustomed to read the newspaper and
find fault with its statements; its ar
rangements; its looks; to plume them
selves upon the discovery of some
roguish acrobatic type that gets into a
frolic and stands upon its head; or of
some waste letter or two in it; but of the
process by which the newspaper is made
or the myriads of mills and the thousand
of pieces necessary to its composition,
they know little and generally think
less.
They imagine they discourse of won
der indeed, when they speak of the fair
white carpet, woven for thought to walk
on the rags that futtered on the back of
the beggar yesterday.
But there is something more wonder
full still. When we look at the hundred
and ffty-two little boxes, somewhat
shaded with the touch of inky fingers,
that compose the printers " case" noise
less, except the click of the types, as one
by one they take their places in the
growing line-we think we have found
the marvel of art.
We think how many fancies in frag-
ments there are in boxes; how many
atoms of poetry and eloquence the prin-
ter can make here and there, if he had
only little chart to work by; how
many facts in small handful" how
much truth in chaos.
How he picks up the scattered ele-
ments, until he holds in his hand d
stanza of " Gray's Elegy," or monody
upon Grimes. "All Buttoned Up Be
fore" Now sets Puppy Missing" and
now paradise LOST" he arrays bridge
| in small caps" and sonnet in non
pareil; he announces the languishine
live in one sentenee-transposes the
work and deplores the days that are few
and " evil" in the next.
A poor Jest ticks its way slowly intC
the printers hand, like the clock jus
running down, and its strain of elo
quence marches into line letter by let
ter. We fancy we can tell the differ
ence by hearing by the ear, but perhaps
not.
The types that told wedding yestsr
day announces burial tomorrow
perhaps the same letters.
They are the elements to make worlt
of. Those types are world with some
thing in it as beautiful as spring, a
summer, and as imperishable as au tuml
flowers frost cannot wilt-fruit tina
shall ripen for all time.
