An Influential Life the Result OF
Industry,

A Philadelphia paper, commenting
on the life of the late millionaire, Judge
Asa Packer, says: Between the young
mechanic from Connecticut who wander
ed into the Susquehanna valley on a
winter morning fifty,six years ago, with
his knapsack and kit of tools, seeking
work, and the distinguished citizen
whose death the whole commonwealth
mourns, there is more than the space of
half a century-there is the whole span
of American possibilities; there is the
whole story of an American fortune, and
of the success which was due to thrift,
patience, foresight, and, above all, char
acter. The story of Judge Packers life
is better than romance. Opportunity
OF no common order was his, it is true,
but how many other striplings Of Yankee
or Pennsylvania growth who were on
the road he Travelled by, had the discern
ment to see the opportunity in the first
place, the frugality and hard endurance
to grasp and hold it, and the rugged
truth of character that induced men to
hold fast by him when disasters were
threatened that overthrew lesser or less
steadfast men. There is a practical
value in this career, ending as it did in
the possession and dispensing of o CO.
lossal fortune, that ought to send all
theorists on the labor question to the
right about. Here was young fellow,
unfriended, except by the skill Of his
hands as a workman, who came into the
Lehigh valley and conquered it; subdued
its rugged mountain sides and its mar
row rivor-bed; laid bare its wedged-in
and countless wealth, and dispensed
prosperity to his fellow-citizens.

Unable 10 Anpreelate Flne Art.

The NOrristown Herald man truth
fAlly says that when you enter an art
gallery and see an admiring throng gaz.
ing at picture in which several COWS as
natural as life are wading in pool Of wa.
ter, beneath the outrageous foliage OF
trees sthat successfully counterfeit nature,
and CLEAN Of sunshine breaking
through O rift in q distance, you are
willing TO wager that the picture was
painted by one OF the oldest old mas
ters;' while the neglected painting on
the wall at the other end Of the room,
full of squre-bodied men, and about as
attractive as tea-store chrome, is Of
course by modern artisan American,
mere nobody, who should have en-
barked in the business Of peddling
clans. But when you read the crit.
cisms in the papers next day you are
surprised to learn that it is just Uice ver-
sa-the picture so much admired is by
a mere nobody-an American artist
and the cracked and smoky canvas with
the square.bodied men, is by celebrat'
ed old master-one OF his best-and
worth not less than fifty thousand dol
lars

Choosing an Occupation.

Doubtless there is many young man
living on farm who is more or less dis
posed to change his occupation for some
other, hoping thereby to better his con-
dAion. In considering the matter, how
ever, he should recollect that no matter
what calling he may choose, to be sue
cessful it must necessarily occupy most
Of his time and attention during the
greater portion Of his life. He must
expect it not only tofurnish himself and
family with the means of support, but
to acquire such competency as will
render him Independent in his older
days. He must recollect also that his
health is more or less involved, and that
his family are to share with him all the
advantages or Disadvantages attending
it. To come down to the point, lot him
look around and see what men, as class,
are the truly independent ones. He
will find them MOI certainly among those
who stand behind the counter and de
pend on the profits of what they sell for
q living and to meet the debts of daily
occurrence. Nor ia il the lawyer wait
ing for client, nor the minister waiting
for O call, nor the real estate speculator
waiting for property to appreciate, nor
yet the man who depends ON his daily
wages for support, and whose position
is subject to tho whims or caprice Of his
employer. But it is the man who lives
on his own farm and is out OF debt. He
it is that knows or cares very little about
the stagnation Of business. 1t matters
not TO him when the manufactures stop
running or how much the wages Of la-
boring men are cut down. II he prop
erly cultivates his land il will not only
bring him the necessaries OF life, but
render Linn perfectly independent ol
those disturbing influences to. which
other occupations are more or less sub
iect.

Raising Pigeons for Market.

A man named Yates, OF Buckman-
vile, Pa, makes a business Of raising
young pigeons or squads for the New
York market. He has about one hun
dred pairs Of pigeons, and during the
past ten weeks he has received over 800
for squads sold. They occupy but a
small space, and all about his premises
is neatness and order. Their nests are
in small, low rooms over wagon.house
or stable. Each pair Of pigeons has a
box, open in front, and containing two
nests divided by partition. The
pigeons live in pairs, one male and one
female mating and living together until
death doth them part. II by any acci-
dent there should be an odd one it is at
once mated or killed, for one minated
pigeon will cause trouble and confusion
in the community.
The nest is made up and fixed by the
pair, and the female lays twoeggs and
commences setting. When fairly under
way she hands the business over to her
mate, fixes up the companion nest and
lays two more eggs. Thus the business
is going on constantly. Every egg
matches, there are always two squads in
a nest, and pair OF squads hatchei to
pair Of parent pigeons every month.
These boxes are close together on all
sides of the little rooms where the
pigeons are kept. There are doors COM
municating with the outside air, which
are all opened and shut at one time by
drop gates controlled by rope. A per-
son can go into the house without dis.
turbing the pigeons. Some are setting,
some are laying, and in many nests were
the pairs of squads in all stages of in
fancy, from the featherless biped, just
out of the eggs, to the lazy.looking fel.
low almost as large as his parents.
Mr.. Yates sends his squads to New
York and gets three dollars dozen for
them. He feeds his fock on corn and
wheat, and has very simple and COM
plete arrangement to have supply of
clean food before them at all times, and
as they get all they want to eat, they
never leave his premises except to take
a circle through the air and return to
the roof of their home. How are the
young ones fed from the time they break
out of the egg until they are large
enough to eat? By pigeon milk &C.

At table the conversation fell upon
the subject Of politeness. The hostess
told Of friend OF hers, q little antique
in her manners, for whom a reception
was given by one OF the Beacon street
aristocracy OF Boston. At dinner the
guest poured out her tea in her saucer
to cool it---a method of refrigeration
which was quite an fast thirty years ago.
The guests looked surprised, and some
were inclined to smile at her simplicity
and ignorance Of high-toned propriety,
but the lady OF the house poured some
tea into her saucer and drank it there.

and the guest was Immediately placed

Europeans Using an Indian Method Of
Signaling.

The English in their campaign in AT.
ghanistan, employ the mirror as an in
stlument OF telegraphy. Their mode of
use is very simple. The mirror of the
heliostat is placed so as to reflect the
suns image to a distant station, and
when the instrument has once been set
the clock-work arrangement keeps it in
position. Tie distant station always
sees the dazzling ray reflected from the
mirror, except when purposely obscured.
The appearance, disappearance and
duration of the fash constitute the sig
nails. The ordinary Morse alphabet
supplies an ineligible code, and no one
out of the line OF signals can read OF
understand the message. The flash can
be seen at distance OF twenty miles.
Heliostat stations are now established
throughout Kbyber pass.

New use for the TeIenhOne.

The telephone, already great conve-
nience coming into general use above
ground, promises to be of special value
in underground and submarine opera
tons. Telephones have been introduced
in mines, and more recently have been
used by divers in New York harbor.
Now that one does not have to speak di.
rectly into the instrument, nor to strain
the attention in order to hear what is
being said, the divers have no difficulty
whatever in. conversing while at work
with the engineer directing their opera
tions. A great saving Of time is thus
effected, for heretofore when the diver
had anything to say that could not be
readily transmitted by rope signal, he
was obliged to come to the surface. In
the divers telephone the wires are car
ried into his helmet through the air
tube and are therefore amply protected.

The Little Woman.


Don't talk to me Of Olympus maids,
Divinity tan and fair
or Cleopatra's imperial form,
Or Junos stately air.
Those mighty danes, with redoubted names,
May orst have held their sway;
'Iis the little Womsn-bless her heart
Who rules the world to-day.
With her willful, winsome ways,
Her artful, artless smiles
Her airy grace, and her fairy face
Her wisdom, wit and wiles,
She mocks the pride and she sways the
strength,
She bends the will OF man,
AS only such despolic elf
A little woman-oai.
Though her pathway may lead thro' the darkest
ways.
She always finds light;
Though her eyes be dazzled by fortunes rays,
She's sure to see Alright;
Though her wisdom be of no special school,
Her lcgio-'just because
The first has settled & kingdoms fate,
The last has made its laws.
'Tis the little woman that goes ahead
When men would lag behind;
The little woman who sees her chance,
And always knows her mind
Who can slyly smile as she takes the oath
To honor love, obey,
And mentally adds the saving clause;
In little woman's way.
Would the diamond seem such perfect gem
II it measured one foo! round
Would the roseleaf yield such swesf perfume
If it covered yards Of ground2
Would the dew-drops seem so clear and pure
II dew like rain should fall?
Or the little woman bo half 50 great
II she were six feet tall?
'Tis the hand as soft as the nesting bird
That grips the grip Of steel;
'Iis the voice as low as the summer wind
Tat rules without appeal,
And the warrior, scholar-the saint and sage,
Msy fight aud plan and pray,
The world will wsg till the end OF time
In the little woman's way

Novel Method of Cooling a Ballroom

The French admiral, Pothuan, at a
grand ball given in honor of his daugh-
ter, Mile. Rose, conceived the idea Of
cooling his ballroom by erecting a grotto
OF blocks of ice in vestibule on which
it opened, and to light it up with the
Joblokoff chandelier. The crystal edi-
fee, which was adorned with pine
branches and Alpine flowers, had a
charming effect, and 80 we'll did it work
as refrigerator that between waltz
and polka Mile Rose, in showing it to
some of her young friends, met with o
sudden chill, which brought on infam,
nation of the lungs and of the pericar-
dunn. Her life hung on thread for
weeks. Maternal care alone brought
her through the virulent complication
of maladies.
