Clara's Choice.

George Bovard. young Methodist
minister, went in 1878 to the conference
at Mercer, Penn. and there saw Clara
Shaffer, teacher in the soldiers
orphan school. They were mutually
enamored, and when George, actuated
by a noble spirit, went as missionary to
India, they kept up a lovers corrc-
spondence. He wanted her to come
out there, be married and Join in his
labors; she was willing to go, but
lacked the necessary funds. Among
her friends was Dick" Wright, cloth
ing merchant of Mercer, generous
fellow, and when Clara told him of her
unhappy position, he at once loaned
her all that she needed. and off she
started. Wright. as soon as he began
to miss her frequent consultations, dis
covered that he had fallen in love with
her himself, and as the steamer had not
left New York, he went flying over the
road and boarded the craft Just as it
was getting ready for start. Telling
his story with such abruptDess az was
necessary, she accepted him, and call.
ing for her baggage to be put ashore,
she followed it, and soon went with
Dick" to convenient parson and
was married. Poor Bovard will thore-
fore have to bear his burdens alone,
but he will probably be philosopher
enough to rejoice that he escaped being
mismated.

Marriageablc Women.

One of the great social problems OF
the day is to explain why there are 90
mauy marriaRcable women who never
get married. Some say that 1t is owing
to an excess in numbers of women over
men, in consequence of which there are
not husbands enough to go round.
This, hoxerer, is disproved by statist-
les. Take the world through, and the
figures show that there are as many
men in it as there are women. Others
attribute it to the responsiveness Of
modern life. Men DO not marry because,
it is said, they cannot aft ord to. BIT
the fact is that no man who truly loved
a woman ever hesitated to become en-
gagged to her aud eventually Il Try her
because Of poverty. Tn,.e are cold
blooded men, with no idea Of any
feeling for woman stronger than n
langnld admiration. who may lie
deferred from ASSUMING what they re-
gard az a burden in the shape of a wifi,
unless assured of "a liberal leone, but
most are not so calculating. Others.
again, attribute the evil to women's
fastiiiousness. They expect too much
in a husband, and, while Whiting for al
impossible sha low. let the possible
substance slip through their fingers.
This is libel on the sex. As rule
they are more fastidious than nep are,
and are just as susceptible az men TO
that enchantmept of love which invests
its object with every perfection and
covers up every fault. 50 far as men
and women themselves are concerned.
thew are as DrONp to marriage now rs in
any periol of the worlds history.
Nevertheless, there are women who are
waiting for husbands and not getting
them. They are pretty, they are accom-
plished, they are sensible. and under
proper training they would make ex-
cellent wives and mothers; but they
never get chance. What seems to be
needed is more thorough method Of
bringing men and women into social
contact with each other.

Absinthe Drinking.

Absinthe drinking is said to steadily
increase 10 the Il public, hut much less
speedily than III Switzerland aud
France, particularly in France. where
great efforts are made for its abatement
1t has grown to an enormous evil IN
those countries, notably in the large
cities, like Geneva, Zlrich. Berne, Mar
settles, Lyons and Paris. At the French
capital the practice has augmented
aldrmingly within eight or ten years,
officers of the army, business men and
professional men and journalists and
authors being especially its victims.
A French physician of eminence has
recently declared that it is ten times
more pernicions than ordinary intern
perance, and that it very seldom hap
pens that the habit once fixed can he
unloosed. The same authority says
that the increase of insanity IS largely
due to abslnthe. 1t exercises deadly
fascination, the source of which sci
entsts have vainiy tried to discover,
although they have no difficulty in as
pertaining its effects. Its immediate
use acts on the entire nervous system
in general and the brain in particular.
in which it produces actual organic
changes with accompanying deraDse-
ment of all the mental powers. The
habitual drinker becomes dull, languid;
is soon completely brutalized and then
goes raving mad. He is ut last wholly
or partially paralyze unless. as often
happens, disordered liver and stomach
bring quicker end. The liquor is
dangerously seductive, because 1t seems
in the beginning to help the digestive
organs, when it really hurts them, and
very seriously. Many persons have
been induced to take absinthe for in
digestion, and have thus fallen under
its baleful influences. The driuker is
in most cases in seeming good health,
having no thought of his peril, until
the hour when illness has declared it.
self. He is apt, indeed, to believe that
he is remarkably we'll. and consider all
the stories about absinthe mere bnga-
boos. The earliest symptoms of all
ment lead to an examination, aud to the
knowledge that his entire system is
deranged, usually beyond restoration.
His first illness is apt to be his last, and
death is welcome relief. Absinthe
has not long been known; in fact, it was
not made century ago. Some ninety
years since, French refugee, DR..
Ordinaire settled at the small village of
Covet, Switzerland, and acquired
very fine practice in the neighborhood.
He prepared his own medicines, one OF
them being an extract of wormwood,
which he held in high esteem and
compounded with his own hands. He
prepared it from a private recipe, and
administered it to his patients with ex-
cellent effect. Before his death he inn
parted his secret to others, and the ex
tract was extensively made and sold to
peddlers. 1t was prepared from the
yellow flowers of the common worm
wood, and it was gradually improved,
or rather deteriorated, upon until the
present liquor had been obtained. In
the Val de Travers, canyon of Nsuf-
chatel, about 10000 gallons are dis
titled of this most alluring poison

A Millionalre's Railway Model

Few of the visitors to the great Corn
wall iron estate, in this country, re-
ceive invitation to inspect the workroom
of the young millionaire, Robert Cole
man. Mr.. Coleman destroyed a palace
half built when his young bride died,
year ago, and her embalmed body was
brought from Paris to be entombed in
a mausoleum here, in the shape of an
Episcopal cathedral, that cost quarter
of million.
Since the death of the young bride, the
grief-stricken widower has paid much
attention to machinery and engineering.
He had building erected containing q
single room, with high ceiling and
frescoed walls. A circular roadway,
with double line of steel tracks, ex-
tends around the room. Patent safety
switches, electric crossing signals.
safety frogs, and the latest method of
fastening the rails, are in use on this
playhouse railway. The total length of
track is about $50 feet, double track
and two sidings. At one end is q
roundhouse, with turntables that op-
crate automatically. Three miniature
locomotives are employed. Every
piece of mechanism, every rod, bolt,
screw, lever, spring, tire, cock, pipe.
and pump are on these locomotives.
The boiler jackets. rods and drivers are
nickel plated. The cabs are of solid
walnut. and the boilers proper and the
ire-boxes are of wrought steel. The
tenders are of copper. and their water
supply is taken by scoops from watts
on the roadway while the locomotives
are in motion.
| The locomotives are about four feet
in length, including the tender, and
are models of beauty. They are of
English design, SO far as high driving
wheels are concerned; otherwise, they
are advanced American mechanical
ideas, ard have many original ap-
pliances OF NJ. Co,em 10 S invention.
The locomotives are fired up and set
in motion. Around the tracks they 60,
while the millionaire owner watches
the machinery. Hours are thus passed !;
all sorts of experimen ts are tried; high
speed and low speed are compared to
determine the comparative effect of
friction.
To develop his railway IDEAS, Mr..
Coleman has determined to build ana
equip road extending from the Corn
wall estate to tho Pennsylvania railroad,
distance Of about twenty miles. In
all probability this road, for its s;za,
will be one of the best equipped in the
country. 1t will carry the iron from
the Cornwall fp,nacls to market over a

AStrology.

This science pretended to discover
ones fortune in life by the planet, or
other heavenly body under which he
was born. 1t has come down from the
remotest antiquity. 1t gained sway
among the disciples of the great Gre
eian philosopher, Aristotle, from the
latter's teaching that the heavenly
bodies had souls, which were the source
of their movements. 1t is only little
over two hundred years since work
was issued entitled "Christian Astrol-
ogy."
Nor was it merely vague and idle
theory. Astrologers abounded who
lived on the ills and the credulity of
the unfortunate. They maintained that
all men, all substances, all countries
and llplaces were under the rule of q
particular planet.
They caused the sick to be removed
to a locality under different star from
that under which the disease origi-
mated. The celebrated Galer declared
that the physician ignorant of astrology
was guilty of homicide.

while the brindle cow bonny let down
her milk and fought flies.

the weary foot passenger.
"About seven miles" kindly replied
the woman, glad, in her charitable soul,
that the stranger hadn't asked for any
thing but information.
"What is the name of this place ?"
asked the weary traveller, still thirsting
for information.

sharply, as the brindle COW kicked at q

How to pay a Compliment.

To pay compliment Is to tell the
trath, and to tell it as though you
meant it. Aud the only way to do that
is to mean it. If girl is pretty or
accomplished, if she plays we'll, or sings
we'll, or dances well, or talks well; if
in word she pleases, why in the name
OF common souse shouldn't she be told
of it? Don't blurt it out before every
body. That will only serve to make
her feel uncomfortable and make you
appear ridiculous. Say it quietly when
opportunity otfars, but say 1t strongly.
Convey the idea distinctly and fully,
SO that there may be no mistake about
it. Bat don't do it " o1li;ially." For
mality is about the coolest thing known.
