Words OF Wisdom.

1t is better to wear 4 poor vest with q
ROYAL heart behind it than to wear a
royal vest with 4 beggar's heart in
side.
The temperate are the most truly lux
urious. BY sustaining from most things
it is surprising how many things we
enjoy.
Ambition often puts men upon doing
the mranest Offices; so climbing is per-
formed in the same posture while creep
ing.
Nothing is more saddening than IN
Intellectual and proud intercourse with
those Of whom we expect sympathy and
encouragement.
Good books are to the young mind
what the warming sun and the refresh
ing rain of spring are 10 the seeds which
lave lain dormant in the frosts of
winter.
There is nowhere an apology for de-
spondency. Always there is life while
life lasts. which rightly lived, implies a
divine satisfaction.
Happiness j. IKE mama; it is to be
gathered in grains and enjoyed every
day. It will not keep; it cannot be &C
cumulatcd. nor have we to 90 out of
ourselves into remote places to gather
it, since it is raincd down at our very
doors, or, rather. within them.
So deeply inheren: is it in this life of
ours that men have to suffer for each
otl,rr's sins. so inevitably diffusive is
human suffering, that even justice makes
it's victims, and there is no retribution
that does not spread beyond its mark in
pulsations of unmerited pain.

ALI About Pennies.

Pennies are scarce and the mint caa-
not turn them out fast enough to supply
the demand. Coins of this denomina-
ton are turned out only at the United
States mint in this city, and from here
the whole country is supplied. The
penny is a most important factor in the
commerce of the country, much more
than most people imagine. The mint is
six weeks behind its orders for the sup
ply Of these small coins, which is in
part owing to the fact that all the avail
able machinery is being used for other
purposes, and but a small part can be
put to penny making.
"Where do all the pennies gop" asked
q reporter of a mint official.
"Well, the horse car companies take
a good part of the supply, but we limit
each company to twenty dollars worth
per day. Then they are obliged to patch
out with three cent pieces, of which
they also secure large quantities. But
the merchants make the heaviest de-
mands upon us, the great retail dry
goods houses taking all they can get,
and then crying for more"
Where are pennies not usedP" ques-
toned the reporter.
"Well, there is no part of the United
States hardly where they are not used"
was the reply; " but there are some Sec
tions where they are strangers, and as
rare as gold dollars are here. In the
South the penny is almost unknown,
the smallest coin being a tive-cent piece.
Recently, however, there has been some
demand for them from merchants in
Georgia and Alabama. In the far West
there is but little call for the penny, but
when one gets to st. Louis, or east Of
that point, then the penny becomes a ia
miliar friend. Wherever there are six
cent fares on the street cars, there is a
demand from that city for pennies.
Now, Louisville seldom, if ever, calls
upon us, while Cincinnati is continu-
ally crying for the one-cent piece. New
York consumes a big lot, and so do the
Eastern States. The two-cent piece was
a good help to us for a time, but none Of
them have been coined for ten years
and all that are sent in and redeemed are
recoined into one-cent pieces"
cit is a somewhat remarkable thing
but such is the fact" continued the Of
fetal, "that competition in trade in
duces and increases the demand for pen.
MES. Whenever trade is briskest, ther
the penny is needed most-that is, retail
trade. What the banks take from US
although large, does not fuctuate likt
the calls from the tradesmen. Thu
Eastern States are the great penny cen
tiers, and it is only as the population o
the West increases that it wants pen
MES. The fve.cent piece is the STANDARD
coin in the West, but the penny is max
ing irroads on it, and great ones. too

The Long Lives of Fish,

Somes days ago, writes a Washington
correspondent, I had occasion to MAXI
some inquiry into the age of fish, ant
was surprised to find they lived so long
Thinking there are others who know a.
little about the subject as I did, I ap
pend a letter I received from Prof
Spencer W. Baird, of the Smithsonian
institute, who is also United States fish
commissioner. He is the best authority
in the world on fish, and this gives hi!
letter its value. He writes: There is
I believe, authentic evidence to show
that carp have attained an age of 20t
years. There is tradition that withis
the last fifty years a pike was living il
Russia whose age dated back to the fiji
teenth century. The fish is said to hav'
been eighteen feet long. This, however
is not considered very reliable. Blu
there is nothing to prevent a fish from
living almost indefinitely, as it has nj
period of maturity, but grows with eaci
year Of life. In species like mammal
and birds, where there is a limit, a def
mite term of years is generally the rule
There are now some goldfish here in tin
aquariums of the United States botani
cal garden that are fifty years old. A
goldfish dealer in Baltimore showed nj
some goldfish that he had kept in hi
aquarium for thirty years.
