For the Journey of Life.

Never ridicule sacred things, or what
others may esteem as such, however alb
surd.. they may appea- to you.
Never show levity when people are ell
gagged in worship.
Never resent a supposed injury till you
know the views and motives of the author
of il.
Always take the part of an absent per-
son, who may be censured in company, so
far rs truth and propriely will allow.
Never think worse OF another, on ac-
count of differing with you on political and
religious subjects.
Never dispute with a man who is more
than 20 years of age, nor with woman,
nor any sort of enthusiast.
Never affect to be witty, or to jest so as
to.hmt the feelings of another.
Act with cheerfulness but without
levIty.
Never court the favor Of the rich ty
fattering theE vanities or their riches.
Speak with calmness and deliberation
on all occasions, especially of those cir
cumstances which tend to irrate.

BURN ese UmI,reiIas

In Sam and Burmah, China, AMMAN, an
Cochin China, the umbrella is not only the
necessary protection against the intrusive
rays of a vertical sun, but it has functions
of its own, to discharge, which are quite
foreign to it even in those countries where
1t is as it was, intended to be, "little
shade 1t is distinctive feature in the
lives and characters of the natives of those
parts, and their kings and emperors, when
writing TO one another, aliude to their sub
lects as '.wearers Of the umbrella" in con-
lrI6i slirction to the ignorant and mis-
guided people of other climes. Gold or
gilded umbrellas which in the Provinces
may be carried by anybody, are reserved
in the capital for princes of the blood
alone; ard red umbrellas are affected By
the gay sparks Of Burmese society as beng
the next thing most gaudy in appearance.
Etiquette has also fixed the exact number
Of umbrellas that Burmese mobiles may dis
play when they approach tbs "lord Of the
golden palace"

The Castle of Ch IIon

A correspondent writes, 10 day the Cas-
lie OF Chlllon was the point of attraction.
This was accessible by rail or by the lake.
and Is open TO visitors every day. We
crossed the bridge. passed through thf
gates, and were within the walls of the
castle. Our gu de led us across the court
yard into the dungeons. The castle walls
are built upon the rocky bottom Of the lake.
Or, to express il differently, the rocks o.
the lake intrude themselves into the founde
tion OF the castle, and may be seen, were
pointed on ito us. IL was in a small chamber
and was fiat and little inclined. Here the
doomed man passed. his last night, sleep
ing or not, as the case may be. \ step led
him into another little chamber, where
was the gallows, and, when this had per-
formed its office, door in the wall opened
and the remains were dropped into the lake
with little ceremony. The Geneyese pa
triot, Downward, was kept in one of these
dungeons for sever. years, and the ring to
which he was chained is still shown. Up
stairs IS the hall of justice, so called,
room OF ample dimensions, paved with
cobble stones, and furnished with a huge
iiepl zee some twelve feet across Fire
wood was cheaper then than II is at presnt.
The room adjoining the hall of justice was
the room OF torture, in which a pillar, said
10 be of the good old time, is still Standing,
furnished with the identical pulley-as We
were assured by which the accused were
drawn up when subjected to the torture OF
burning the soles OF the ieet. The oubliette
Is another OF ine essentials OF the castle
Three stone steps, and the last takes one
down no one knows how many feet. Here
and there knives projected from the wall,
Tor what purpose it would be difficult 10
conceive, since certain death would end the
fall without the help of knives Ii is un-
certain when the Castle of ChilllOn was
Quilt or who was the architect, but the evil
one him elf was at his elbow. Those who
doubt the existence of such being have
never been TO Chillon, or were there to lit.
tie purpose. The bedrooms of the duke
and duchess of Savoy were shown US. They
would hardly satisfy duke and duchess of
the present day, but the lovely, glurinOus
view of the lake and adjarent shores might
make any duchess content with the room.
One would think that the sight of such
loyeliness would have inspired those who
Deheld 1t with a little more compassion
than was current in those days, but, if all
accounts are true, the castle has been wit
ness to deeds, harmonizing very little with
its surroundings. The external appear
ance of the Castle must be familiar To all
your readers, or rather, they think it is,
Dut the painting aud drawings, which are
50 numerous, are much too iia,tering.
Neither in proportion nor in color has 1t
Ia I. L.
IS of dry, Oiugy color, while neither
fro = land or sea has the castle com
manding appearance. As a chrOnicier Of
days zone by, however, it will always con-
tinue to be an object Of great interest.

The Razor Clam

When the tide Is out, one may find the
razor fish, so called because the shell re-
sembles the handle of razor If land
hold Of suddenly, the chances are that be-
fore he can be drawn out he will slip out
of his shell, leaving that empty in the
hand, while the ''soul and essence Of him
has gone down half a fathom into the
ssrd. Yet he Is not more slippery than
many an individual, who, when pressed
to do some magnanimous deed in behalf of
the community, slips out of his shell, and
losing the grip, you can no more find the
soul and essence Of him than you can find the
soul Of this razor fish, which has gone deep
into the muck and sand. In either in
stance, the empty shell IS the only sign OF
the thing wanted

During the recent trial of the Whitaker
will case IN Philadelphia, it became
necessa. V TO show the differences between
d genuine signature and an imitation or
forgery of the same. For this purpose DR..
CreSsOn brodght into court powerful re-
1ecting magic lantern. The roon WIS
darkened, and images of the two sigma
tures, enormously magnified, were thrown
side by side upon screen before the
judge and jury. The false signature was
at once revealed. In the ordinary magic
liant IN, the object to be shown on the
screen is photographed or painted on Il
slide of glass, and the light posses through
the slide TO the screen: in the retectIng
lantern The light is thrown against the face
of the object itself, and as the reflected
rays from the object appear on the screen,
a stronge. light is required for the reflect
ing lantern than for the ordinary instru-
ment. In the present case the illumination
of the writing was affected by means of
two powerful calcium lights contained
within the lantern. A watch placed in the
instrument and reflected on finely ground
glass screen leads the spectator 10 believe
that he has suddenly cOaie in contact with
the city hall clock. The pores of the skin
on the cheek OF hand are shown with I'M
pleasantly magniied faithfulness, and to
see the face of your dearest friend through
the megascope almost moves you to tears,
under the false impression that he has been
riddIed with bullets. A piece of writing
which TO the naked eye, or even under
strong magnifying glass, appeared as If
each letter was made with simply one stroke
of the pen, on beng placed in the lantern
was easily dissected. The work of the
skilled penman IN painting" the letters
was laid bare. The ragged edges where
the shading began and ended was as plain
as were the letters themselves. Defects
in the paper. though ever 50 slight, by
erasure or otherwise, and even the texture
of the paper iIself, were presented as clear
as sunlight.

The Toilet of the Fly.

The toilet of tine fly is as carefully attend
ed to as that of the most frivolous Of human
insects. With contempt for the looking
glass-an article which he reserves for the
most ignoble uses-he brushes himself up
and wabbles his little round head, chuck
full of vanity, wherever he happens to be.
Sometimes, after long day Of dissipation
and flirting, with his six small legs and
little round BODY ali soiled with sirup and
butter and cream, he passes out OF the
dining-roo and. wings his way to the clean
white cord along which the morning -glories
climb, and in this retired spot, needless of
the crafty spider that is practicing gymnas-
tics few feet above him, he proceeds to
purify and sweeten himself for the refresh
ing repose and soft dreams of the balmy
summer night, so necessary 10 one who is
expected TO be early at breakfast. 1t is a
wonderful toilet. Retaining himsc on
his front and middle legs, he throws his
hind legs rapidly over his body, binding
down his fraIl wings for an instant with
the pressure, then Taking them over with a
back ward motion, which he repeats until
they are bright and clean. Then he pushes
tut tNO icEo diouS A4s pON- ohu+ LII
wings. giving that queer structure a
thorough currying, every now and then
throwing the legs out and rubbing them
together to remove what he has collected
from his corporal surface. Next he gOes
to work upon his van. Resting on his hind
legs and middle legs, he raises his two fore
legs and begins vigorous scraplng OF his
head and shoulders, using his proboscis
every little while to push the accumulation
from his limbs. At times he is 50 energetic
that it seems as if he were trying to pull
his head off, but no fly ever committed sui
eide. Some of his motions very much re-
semble those of pussy at her toilet. 1t is
plain, even TO the naked eye, that he does
his work thoroughly, for when he has fin
ished he looks like new fly, so clean and
neat has he made himself within a few
minutes. The white cord is detiled, but
Floppy is himself again. and he bids the
morning -glories very good evening.
