A Shoddycrat Sat Down Upon.

1t appears that Mr.. Ketten, says the
Sah Francisco Post, was invited to a
party at the house of one of our local
Plutocrats. large importing merchant,
and attended the same with his wife, as
would any other guest. To his surprise,
however, he found the company sitting
solemnly around as though in concert
hall, and himself pressed to "play some
thing" by his host. The courteous
Frenchman complied, and, in response
to repeated requests, continued to enter
tain the company for nearly two hours.
When at last he was thoroughly fa-
tigued, supper was announced, where

The astounded artist gazed at the
speaker (who was well known to have
been barkeeper in the "good old days'')
for a few moments, utterly dun ofound-

turned his back and began playing dance
music as requested. When the COM

There was an awful silence, and then the
shoddycrat, with CHASTITY attempt to
carry out the joke, prepared the drink
and handed it to the musician. The
latter drank the beverage critically.

He is native of New York, though Of

When boy of IA he leaped from q

over 100 feet. The leap would have
been made from a greater distance yes

He proposes to make leaps this Summer
from nearly twice the height from which
the leap was made yesterday. After
few minutes rest the leap was repeated.
His style is peculiar. AS he launches
himself into the air, Thomas fairly

Showed His Gratitude.

"Im goin' right in this river" said
he, staggering toward the string piece,
as the policeman clutched him by the
collar. "Lemme 60, tell YER You
femme so, Pm just goin' right in this
river and I'm goin' fer to drown my
sorrers. I've busted around 'syer coun-

But the policeman lugged him off.

the would-be suicide, as he knocked his
hat over his eyes. "Youre a square

The policeman said he had ten and

"Good huff That'll do. Gimme the

bill. "Gimme the ten dollars, ye'ear

Once more to humor him the police
man gave him the ten and took the
twenty. He didn't want the money, but
the exhibition of gratitude showed a
dawning interest in life that should be
encouraged. Then bidding him good
night the policeman walked of. If the
drunken man who was rescued from
death by tall policeman Friday night
will send his address to headquarters,
he will receive back his counterfeit twenty

Power of q Sweet Voice.

There is no power of love so hard to
get and keep as a kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of soft heart, and do it with .
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as sweet voice
to tell what it means and feels and it
is hard to get and keep it in the right
tone. One must start in youth, and be
on the watch night and day, at work
and play, TO get and keep voice that
shall speak at all times the thoughts of
a kind heart. But this is the time when
a sharp voice is most apt TO be got.
You often hear boys and girls say words
at play with quick, sharp tone, as if it
were the snap of Il whip. When one Of
them acts vexed you will hear voice
that sounds as if it were made up of .
snarl, whine and bark. Such voice
often speaks worse than the heart feels
1t shows more ill-will in the tone than
in the words 1t is often in mirth that
one gets voice or tone that is sharp,
and sticks to him through life, and stirs
up ill-will and grief, and falls like drop
Of gall on the sweet joys 1t home. Such
as these get sharp home voice for use,
and keep their best voice for those they
meet elsewhere, just as they would save
their best cakes and pies for guests, and
all their sour food for their own board.
l would say to all boys and girls: use
your guest voice at home. Watch it
day by day, as pearl of great price, for
it vill be worth more to you in days to
come than the best pearl hid in the sea.
A kind voice is joy like lark's song
to hesrth and home. 1t is to the
heart what light is to the eye. 1t is
light that sings as well as shines. Train
it to sweet tones now, and it will keep
in tune through life"

Uses of the Potato.

In France farins is largely used for
culinary purposes. The famed gravies,
sauces and soups of France are largely
Indebted for their excellence to that
source, and its bread and pastry equally
so, while great deal of the socallsd
cognac, imported into England from
France, is the product of the potatoe.
Throughout Germany the same uses are
comoD. In Poland the manufacture of
spirits from the potatoe is a most ex-
tensive trade. "Stettin brandy" well
known in commerce, is largely imported
into England, and is sent from thence
to many of her foreign possessions as
the produce of the grape, and is placed
on many a table OF England as the same,
whl'e the fair ladies of our country per
fume themselves with the spirit Of tho
potatoe, under dssi Snation Ct eau de
Cologne. But there are other uses
which this esculent is turned to abroad.
After extracting the farina, the pulp is
manufactured into ornamental articles,
such as picture frames, snuff boxes and
several descriptions of toys, and the
water that runs from it in the process
of manufacture is most valuable
