How 1t Generally Happens.

y. 4. Correspondence Providence Journal
We met the other day the reporter of q
society" paper. She assured us that the
thirst of the public for names was something
remarkable. The more names that filled the
columns of society paper the more enter
tanning it was considered. Her account of
her quest for society information was not a
little amusing, and showed curious side of
human nature. The scene is that of a bril-
liant party, all the remarkable dresses of
which are to be described in the columns of
the society paper. The following dialogue
takes place. Reporter to showily dressed
Flora McFlimsy: II would like to describe
your dress Will you allow me? am the
reporter of the Society News"
Flora-Oh, mercy. no; you must not do
anything of the kind; mamma would dislike
it so much.
Reporter, turning to go-Yery we'll, it
makes no difference.
Flora, Neutrality-suspicious. me, did you
really want to write about it?
Reporter-I had thought to make some
mention of it, but it is not necessary.
Fora-How awfully odd it would be to
stand up and have you look me all over, and
then write about my dress. No, l am sure
mamma would not like it.
Reporter bows and turns to depart-Very
well, just as you say.
Flora, fastening after the reporter-Come
back and write about my dress if you want
to. Ma won't care-anyway, 1 can't help
it if she does. 1t is thus that the public
learn the important information that Miss
Flora McFlimsey was at Mrs. Banks brill
liant ball and wore an elaborate dress, made
so and so and trimmed so and so.

silent Work.


have heard about the wonderful Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky. Did you ever wonder
how such a cavern could be found in the
earth? l will tell YOU
A little vein of water flowed underground,
making the earth above it moist and green.
1t flowed on and on, joining itself with other
veins and vejnlets. until it came to a place
where there was strata of limestone. Now,
limestone is easily dissolved by water.
As the little stream kept washing the
sides Of its limestone-bed, its channel grew
wider and deeper, cells were gradually
formed, grotesque figures were carved from
the lime, a series of chambers were followed
out, until after many years, cave was
formed in the earth, worthy to be called
''mammoth.''
A single polyp built its little castle of cal
careous matter in the ocean. Other polyps
built around him, until tribe of zoophytes
we're at work upon a structure which became
giant tree, blooming with thousand
flower architects. The unwarned ship sails
that way, strikes what is now cOral-reef,
sinks, and is lost.
A wharf is being built. The strongest of
timber is used for the work, and plank after
plank is laid with the greatest care, and the
whole is made secure with iron bolts Away
down beneath the water are millions of ire
dos, or little worms-so small that only the
microscope can detect them. These minute
creatures begin to bore the piles. They make
no noise but the work of destruction goes on
surely and steadily, until, in short time,
child's touch against the posts would cause
heir fall 50 rotten have they become.
In the world all about US, silent work is
ever going on. Boys and girls, there is a
work of vast importance being done in you,
of which you may be unconscious. 1t is the
formation of habits. The oft repeated act
becomes natural before one is aware of it.
In taking a journey southwark, may
cross the boundary-line that separates the
Arctic from the Atlantic Ocean; but l am
conscious of no immediate change. But. if
the days grow warmer, and the icebergs be-
gin to melt and the sailors lInger to bask in
the sunshine, know that the change must
have taken place some distance back.
You may form one wrong habit, and think
lightly of it; but, as the years go by and
other wrong tendencies develop, and the har-
vest of sorrow is reaped you will remember
how the boundary-line that separates right
from wrong was crossed years before, when
that wrong habit was formed.

One OF the strongest and most reliable

nently successful in introducing medicines
of merit to the people of Texas, is the "Dr.

The one to which it is now direct
ing most attention is "Dr. Harter's Iron
Tonic" remedy for debility and prostrs-

This remedy is nothing new; il Is well
known, endorsed by the medical profession,
and commended by them for many infirmi-
ties peculiar 10 women. The advertisement
of the tonic, which appears elsewhere, con-

sufferers, which are worth perusal. 'Dr.
Harter's Iron Tonic" is preparation OF iron
