Regularity of Habits.

Very few persons understand how
greatly health and happiness in this
world depend upon regularity OF their
daily habits. The constant recurrence
Of those events which we are apt torcfer
to as tiresome and monotonous.@D During
the earlier and later periods of.onr life
this "even tenor is essential to our we'll
being; and though We may feel like
kicking the traces when at zenith OF
power and activity, and sometimes fly
off at tangents or get RID OF our super
tluous energies in odd and eccentric
ways, yet we usually come back, or at
least try to come back TO our mOollng,
and gladly accept the thieadmill path OF
daily duty, which OF itself brings no ecs-
tatics of pleasure, leaves no remorse..
Every one can understand how dis
agreeable it would be not to be able to
make sure of ones dinner; to be deprived
of bed and sleep |; to lose the enjoyment
of abundance OF good water and a daily
paper, but upon the recurrence OF many
more and much smaller minutiT do We
deDend for our daily comfort. We like
certain kinds of bread at every meal; we
want meat always cooked certain favor
ite ways and expect TO find it SO as natu-
rally as we expect the sun to shine. We
get to seeing certain things in certain
places, and Wescould not miss them upon
any account; "a tree, a bush, a picture,
or a chair which occupies the same place
for years acquires a value to our con-
seriousness which only the habit of Sec
ing it can give it. The. world seems
very large Ia graWth, apd full OF many
and varied interests, bat it contracts as
we grow older, and the objects OF
value to us narrow themselves down TO
those which we know to be real, and
which form .our. lives. Naturally, as
these grow feHas ala.iailmber they grow
dearer, and the more we nisllke TO miss
them from our sight and sense. 80
lives are so happy as those which are
so well ordered that there is little to re-
sigu, and to which, therefore, every
year brings added interest and added
enjoyment il the regular discharge Of
individual and social DUTY,

He Must have Felt Silly.
louisville Courier-Journal.I


Last night young man took lis
sweet heart to the exhibition with q
cold -biooded determination. He showed
her the dog show.
" This" said he, " is one of the best
things in the exposition
He conducted her to the place where
beautiful Borneo Appollos hold forth.
This" said he, lis one Of the sights
here which is very Interestingly
He then explained the two great en-
gines seen in the Industrial part Of the
building.
He showed her the art. gallery and
that pretty picture in the press room
which is called Farewell to the
Forest and which every lady who sees
it wishes to carry off.
"This picture,' he explained, "exbi-
bits gem of female loyliness, and few
things could be prettier. The greatest
attraction / have reserved for the last.
1t is by far the most unique thing in
the building" The young lady be-
came very much interested as he led
her up stairs and expatiated on the
beauties of the unknown object. "a
Soon they stood before the large mir
ror; he paused, and so did she. Then,
with a cold-blooded explanation wor-
thy of a better cause, lie pointed into
the mirror at the young lady's retiec-
ton, and said: "That, | think, is the
boss attraction in the exposition"
"lt is strange" she murmured, among
her blushesa THAT one glass should
mirror bot1 the greatest and the least
attraction at the same time.1

Death from Heaven.
A MAN KILLED IN THE FIELD IN KANSAS
BY AN AEROLITE.
TChicaoo TrihunC.l


KANSAS. CITY, Mo, Dec. ia gentle
man who arrived this evening from
Ne1naha county, Kan, furnishes the
particulars of the tragic death of David
MeisenthaIer, q we'll known stock man,
by being struck by falling meteor OF
aernlite- The man was driving. some
cattle from a field, and it appears as If
the meteor had come from direction a
little west of south, and fell obhqueiy
at an angle of about sixty degrees, for
it passed through tall maple cutting
the limbs as clean as if it had been a
cannon ball, and then struck him APP
parenty on or under the shoulder, pass
ing clear through him obliquely from
below the right shoulder to above the
left hip, and buried itself about two feet
in the soft black ground. The poor
mans head and legs are uninjurcd, but
the greater part of his body seems to
have been crushed into the earth be
meath the terrible aerolite, which is
about the size of Il common patent
bucket and apparently of a roughly
round shape. 1t appears to be formed
of what is called iron pyritcs.

tons to their agents on the line to ad-
vance work on the road as fast as pos

The pile-driver was showed to this

A force of about forty men is EN-
ployed in grading the road bed on the
west side of the Bayou, which is i'm

Another force is at work on the east
side of the Bayou. The track is laid
within eight miles of town, and judg-

How They Do it in Frisco.

One Of the most prominent young

out of court the other day, just after
having secured an acquital regarding
his latest job by prompt and business

A STEAMER STOPPED BY JELLYF1sH.

A STEAMER STOPPED BY JELLYF1sH.-
A correspondent of the Western Morn
ing News gives an interesting descrip-
ton of the, voyage Of the Crocodile.
In the course of his observations he
says: "On September21 the ship crossed
the equator early in the morning. On
the following night a most curious cir
cumstance occurred, which would hardly
be credited. The ship was stopped by
jellyfsh, which, shortly after / o'cloek,
appeared in myriads asfar assthe eye
could reach, and the thousands of -lu-
minons bodies floating upon the water
gave the appearance of scene from
fairyland. Some Of the fish got into the
strainers of the condensers and blocked
the holes so that the water could not
enter. and the result was that the va
cHum went doWnentirely. The conden-
sersi afterwards became so heated that
we had to stop steaming altogether. take
OH the strainers and clean them. Three
attempts were made to steam, and each
failed from the same cause. In this
way we were delayed no less than five
hours but at daybreak the fish sank,
anu the ship was able to proceed. The
same thing occurred again on the follow
ing night; the ship being delayed four
hours."-lLondon Telegraph.

From THE NOVEL OF THE FUTURE
There was a loud noise like the re-
port of an overcharged cannon, the
burst boiler sent the splintered iron
and steaming vapora high sin the sair.
Marianne, the engineers lovely daugh-
ter, was carried with the debris, and
assembled with frightful velocity in the
direction Of the clouds. As she flew
heavenward,. the employees held their
breath and closed their eyes-the spec
tacle was fearful to witness. But
Young John, the assistant, who had adj
mired Marianne from afar, was alive to
the emergency. Selling a flying ma
chine, upon which he had just obtained
a patent that morning, he strapped it to
his broad, manly back, and, spreading
the wings of the machine, vowed he
would rescue the girl OF his heart or
die. On he flew in the direction his
loved one had taken. Il He reached her
just as her red head had plunged
through cloud. 1t was but the work
of q moment to clasp her to his bosom.
Saved came from the crowd below,
who had been watching the scene
through telescopes" etc.
