tslat the man above him stands one steu
higher on the social ladder merely to
oveslook him. This one, however, has
his eye less upon the man beneath than
upon ts'e back ofthe one preceding him
and thus it is, up and down. The mid,
die man receives from the higher no
other forgetfnlness than he again throws
upon the one beneath him.

-Woman'S mission IL that OF peace.
charity, and love, and the brightest Jewel
in her coronct is that entle-heartedness
which would rather extenuate than set
down aught IN malice Good temper
would recommend any woman to the al,
w
to her the proud distinction of being
honored and respected. If Ia lies were
to respect themselves more, an not TO in-
dulge III yagaries Of disposition and ex-
hlbltlon OF character, they would COM
mand the loving esteem of those whom
thew like best in their hear Of hearts.
-Camals are being successfully bred
in Texas. 1t is said TO be no more
trouble to raise them than it is to raise
horses or cattle. The colts for the first
three or four days require close atten-
ton, but after that take their chances
with the herd. They feed on cactus and
brush, cschewing all grasses that cattle
and horses eat if the favorits cactus can
be had Almost any well-broken camel
can travel more than hundred miles
ina day.
- Did YOU ever know any body te
stick 10 amy kind of business. no matter
how untomproml~ing, ten years :it most,
who did moi prosper? No one, no mat
ter how bad i might be IN the beginning
If he stuck TO il earnestly and faith
fully, and tried noth .ng else; no matter
how hard he might have found il some
times to keep his head above water !;
still, if he perseyerea, h. always comes
out right in the long run. A certain
amount of opposition is !. great help to a
man. Kites rise against, not with the
wind Even i head-wind IS better than
nothing. No man ever worked his vov-
ay.A i. dead calm The best wind Tor
everything in the long run, is a side
wind. If it blows aft, how is he TO get
back
One Of the most popular laales'
wraps IS the camels-halr shawl. These
shawls are made of the wool OF the
Thibet goat, which is a native IT the
mountains and valleys Of Tartary. From
the mountain goats come the coarser
wool. while the tlecces from all the AMI
mails are sent TO Cashmere, where they
are hleached, cleaned, spun, and dyed.
After the yarn has been carefully sorted
il is given to the weayers, who are fur-
nished with the designs TO be followed,
and these designs have been changed
bu, little during the lapse OF ages. 1he
labor upon single shawl IS very great,
rs sometimes shop full OF operators Is
busy upon it for an entire year, ana
though the district Of Cashmere can pro-
duce 10000 shawls in 4 year, the ylcld
from its looms falls far short OF that
number
The Chinese carte de pisite is curl
osity. II consists Of bright scarlet
paper, with the owners name inscribed
in large lerters-the larger the more
exquisite. For extra grand occasions the
card is folded ten times; the name IS
written on the right hand corner, with
the humihating prefix, like Your very
stupid brother "Your unworthy friend,
who bows his head and pays his re-
snects.n etc, etc. The words "ionr
stnpid.' taking tire place Of Yours
respectfnllv.' 1t is etiquette TO return
these cards to the visitors, It being pre-
sumable that the expense IS too great
for genera. distribution.
