to approach river for the first time
since the baby was horn and they were,

Business Maxims.

Choose the kind Of business you un-
derstand.
Capital is positively required in busl-
ness, even if you have real estate out
side and credit ever so good.
One kind of business is as muth as
man can manage successfully. Invest
ments on the outside do not generally
pay. especially if you require the money
in your business.
Buy cautiously and just what yor
want, and do not be persuaded 10 pur'
chase what you do not need; ifyou dc
you will soon want what you can't buy
Insure your stock insure your store
insure your dwelling, ifyou have one
If The rate is high it is only because th'
risk IS great, and of course you should
not take the risk yourself. A business
that will not pay for lusurlng will no
justify running.
Sell to good, responsible parties only
Sell on a specified time, aud when your
money is due demand it; do not let th'
account stand without note or lnteres

Sell at reasonable profit and neye

Calling the Doctor.

One morning, as a belated member
Of the Owl Club, of Louisville, was
steering through the dense fog, which
hangs over that city at 3 p. M, he
passed the. house of a well known
physician. The vestlbule OF his resi-
dence was open, and on its side the dim
rays Of the moon, struggling through
the gloom produced by the efforts OF
the city gas company, disclosed the
mouth of an acoustic tube, underneath
with the inscription, whistle for DR..
Potts.
The physician, who was awakened
by the resultant shrlll whistle near his
head, arose and after wondering at the
singular odor Of whisky in the room,
CROPPED his way to the tube and shouted,
'Well.'
Glad to know you're WE'LL was the
reply but beng doctor, L s'pose
you can keep well at cost price, can't
you?'
What do you want p said the man OF
pills, not caring to joke IN the airy
nothing of his nightgown.
WELL said the party at the other
end of the tube, after a moments
meditation. oh, BY the way, are you
young Potts or old Potts
L am Mr.. Potts; there is no young
Potts.

There never was any. 1 have no
son.

What do you want p snapped the
doctor, who began 10 feel IS though his
legs were pair of elongated icicles.
You, know old Mrs. Peayine, who
lives in the next block?
Yes, is she sick? what's the matte :?
DO you know her nephew, too-Bill
Briggs?'
Yes. WellP
'Well, he went up 10 Bridgeport

Genius and Drunkenness.


We read every few days in our ex.
changes that some man has died from
intemperance who was unusually capa-
BILE in his particular line, and would
have done something remarkable but
for his unfortunate habit. That sort oi
statement /, so common that one might
believe the clever men have a natural
tendency to dissipation; but it Is apt to
be erroneous. 1t is no longer the fash
ion for genius TO be p:odigate, wildly
eccentric, lawless. Genius nowadays
is regulated by common sense-indeed,
common sense is The foundation Of real
genius-understands cause and effect;
is apprehensive and takes notes Of all
facts adapts means to ends; is a
word, clear headed, any.sided, pract-
cal.
The old notions Of genus largely date
from the Byron nania- because Byron
wrote strong, beautiful, often licentious
poetry, and got drunk from time 10
time, he had many imitators SO FAR as
drunkenness was concerned, and the
crop has not yet been quite gathered.
The lmitators did nothing like Childe
d arold or Manfred, or the GiaOur, to
be sxre, but they drank more gin than
their author; therefore, in their view,
they were more than half as gifted as
he. They forgot that when he wrote
his best things lie was entirely sober,
and when they did their worst things
they were, no doubt, entirely tlpsy. II
is al mistake. Irnot restrained By
moral, they are prudential considera-
tions. They know that they can't
afford it, that drunkenness inn no sense
is Identifying.
When you see man habitually in
toxlcated, be he mechanic, accountant,
artist, journalist or author, you can
safely conclude that, so far from being
a master Of his calling, he Is a terror if
not bungler. Dissipated fellows very
frequently get a name for proficiency
and skill from the mere fact Of theiy
dissipation. 1t is the worlds way Of
distributing justice. It's willing to ad
nit that man is intellectually capa'

ally disqualified. Any one may ac-
quire reputation for capacity by show
ing that he is chronlcally in a condition
not to exercise his capacity. Whether
reputation is worth having at thai
price, may be a question; but al sensi'
bic people will decide in the negative.

OUR FLooRs.-As long as we are
obliged to tolerate poorly made floors,
which shrink aud warp and are un-
slightly TO the eye, we must therefore,
use carpets. But carpets in daily use
can nut Dc kcpg clean except by ire
quent beating, and they DO much to-
ward corruptng the air by retaining
impure gases, hiding the finest, most
penetrating dust in their meshes and
underneath them, and by giving off par
ticles of fine wool into the atmosphere
with other dust, as they are swept OF
walked upon. There is demand fol
better floors; not necessarily ..inlaid OF
mosaics, of different kinds Of precious
wool, but made double, Of strong sea-
soned wood that viii not shrink Oh
warp (spruce, however well seasoned
is almost sure to warp,) and then care
fully flushed so as TO be darable anl
clean. Carpeted floors seem a relief t.
the housekeeper when once the carpets
are procured. fitted TO the room and
tackled down, because they DO not show
the dirt as the bare floors do. But oh,
when they do get full of dust, how dir
ty they are. With warmly made floor;
and large, warm rugs, which can be
taken out and shaken as often as neces
sary, how much cleaner houses nigh
be. But in that case we must pay
more atteRtion to our aOOrS-have
them painted, oiled, Or laid with boards
of different colors, as the case may be.
