Many persons have acquired a repu-
tation for cleveruess when they are in
reality only acute fault-finders. 1t is
true that there is power of practical
kind in being able to recognize the de-
fects of what We see around us; but, if
we are content to snatch a little cheap
credit for acumen by simply proclaim
ing those faults and nothing more. the
faculty is not likely to do us any lasting
service. 1t is not thus put to an honest
and thorough purpose. The gain of be-
ing able to Observation-Disclosures accrues
to the power of mending or avoiding
them. We do not mean mending them
in the character and work of others, but
in ourselves and our own doings. Most
expert finders of fault know how to de-
claim against them and expose the
weakness or worthlessness from which
they spring. To ''find fault" and to
''scold' are almost parts of the same
process; but, however good the scolding
may be for others, it does no good, but
rather harm, to the individual by whom
it is administered. The greatest sue
cesses have been gained by those who
have been clever in finding faults but
slow in exposing them, and who have
had the wit to profit by the lessons
these faults have taught them, so as to
make their own character and work the
more perfect. The gift of fault-inding
is not to be despised, but it should be
supplemented by the gift of learning
from bad examples how to make our own
lives good. When we can thus apply to
ourselves the experience of others we
have learned life's greatest lesson.
1t is not wise or right to be over-eager
to expose the faults we find. If we can
help those around us by telling them of
their faults, and if we have the tact to
do this discreetly, it is right to do so;
but it is not good policy to seek bub-
BILE reputation for acuteness by paradiny
the discovery of all faults given to man.
Meanwhile no one really will fal tJ
learn something to his own advanta .
from even the ungracious or impetuous
''fault-fnder. If others detect evils or
defects in our characters, we may be
very certain there is something for Us
to mend. The fault-fnder may be
Jealous" or animated by unworthy
motives" but it is certain that there
must be something faulty in our nature
or work if he complains of us; so. in
stead of feeling yindictive, We ought to
set to work to profit by his suggestion.
Society is very short-sighted to be il
tolerant of fault finders. They are is
best friends, even though it is not love
that impels them to criticise its short
comings. We should not busy our
selves with the motives of the fault-find-
er. That is a matter with which We
have no real concern. 1t is enough for
us that there are faults to be found with
and in us. Our business is to mend
these faults: and we ought to be thank
full to those who point them out, MOI
being too fastidious as to how they ac.
complish their work or perform then
service. That the Office they have
chosen is graceless exercise of ability
is their affair, not ours; and theirs viii
be the consequent unpopularity.

Colors OF the Different Races.

The color of the skin, that important
mark of race, may be best understood
by looking at the darkest variety. The
dark hue of the negro does not lie SC
deep as the innermost or true skin
which is substantially alike among al
races of mankind The negro, in spite
of his name. is not black, but deeI
brown, and even this darkest hue does
not appear at the beginning of life, foI
the newborn negro child is reddish
brown, soon becoming slaty-gray, and
then darkening. Nor does the darkest
tint ever extend over the negro's whole
body, but his soles and palms are brown.
The coloring os the dark races appears
to be similar in nature to the temporary
freckling and sunburning of the fair
white race On the whole, it seems
that the distinction of color, from the
fairest Englishman to the darkest Afri-
can, has no hard and fast lines, but
varies gradually from one tint to an
other.
The natural hue of skin farthest from
that of the negro is the complexion of
the fair race of Northern Europe, of
which perfect types are to be met with
in Scandinavia, North Germany and
England. In such fair or blonde peo-
pie the almost transparent skin has its
pink tinge by showing the small blood
vessels through it. In the nations of
Southern Europe, such as Italians and
Spaniards, the browner complexion to
some extent hides this red, which among
darker peoples in other quarters of the
world ceases to be discernible. Thus
the difference between light and dark
races is well observed in their blushing,
which is caused by the rush of hot red
blood into the vessels near the surface
of the body. The contrary effect, pale
ness, caused by retreat of blood from
the surface, is in like manner masked by
dark tints of skin
The range of complexion among man.
kind, beginning with the tint of the fair
whites of Northern Europe and the
dark-whites of Southern Europe, passes
to the brownish yellow of the Malays,
and the full-brown of American tribes,
the deep-brown of Australians and the
black-brown of negroes. Until modern
times these race-tints have generally
been described with too little care.
Now, however, the traveller, by using
Broca's set of pattern colors, records the
color of any tribe he is observing, with
the accuracy of a mercer matching
piece of silk, The evaporation from
the human skin is accompanied by a
smell which differs in different races.
This peculiarity, which not only in
dicates difference in the secreti ons
the skin, but seems connected with
liability to certain fevers, etc., is race
character of some Importance.

VOICES OF THE SEA.

Wakeful ! lay, al night, and heard
The pulsing of the restless sea,
The moaning surges
Sounded like dirges
From some fsr-back eternity,
Whose spirits from the deep are stirr'd.
Awaking with the morning light,
Again l listened to the sea.
But with its surges
Were heard no dirges,
But only life's activity;
Morning dispeled the gloom of night.
At noon / sauntered forth to view
The throbbing of that living sea;
Still it was surging,
But only urging
All men TO be both strong and free
Strong in the soul, with conscience true.
At closing day once more I stood.
Gazing across that mighty sea;
Far ships were sailing;
The light was failing;
Time, lost in immortality,
Was the reflection of my mood
II is the mind, and not the place,
Our moods, and not varying voice,
That fills with sadness,
Or trills with gladness,
A soul whose one grest ruling choice
Reflects in ali things its own face.

His Honesty of Purpose.

A lawyer, who has known Judge
Waldo for many years, tells the follow
ing story, which many will recognize as
characteristic: Soon after the narrator
was called to the bar he was opposed to
Judge Waldo, then well established in
practice and reputation, in case which
was substantially as follows: A had been
to B to ask him to sign a petition for a
new highway between the town in which
he lived and that next adjacent B
hesitated and said he wanted the road,
but did not want to run any risk OF hav-
ing to pay if the application was re-
fused. A said he would guarantee him
against any loss and B signed. The
application was refused and the costs
assessed on the petitioners. 3 resisted
and the case came to trial before JUS
tice, with the young lawyer for the de-
fendant and Judge Waldo on the other
side. As the gentleman who tells the
story says, 1 had three good witnesses
to prove the agreement that my client
should be saved from cost, but knew
that before that justice court where 1
was beginner and Judge Waldo man
of great reputation, the case would
probably go according to his argument.
and as the best, and in fact the only way,
took the bull by the horns, and instead
of making an argument. turned to Mr..
Waldo and asked him if he would claim
on the evidence that his client ought to
win the case. He hesitated moment,
but then he turned to the court and
said: "I must say that on the evidence
nv client has notestabished his claim.

Large Flooks of Fowls.

There are those who believe that the
poultry business pays alone, and no doubt
1t does; but much depends on the breed.
My experience has always been on a farm,
and there do know 1t Is an important
branch and bring in a large profit The
farmer can make a pound of chicken meat
easier than he can make pound of beef
and the price per pound averages higher.
Fowls should be celonized to be thorough
ly profitable. There should be no more
than 25 II place, Where bearded to-
gether In large numbers, the weaker ones
suffer and aIe improbable from beng
crowded. The stronger birds consume
the larger proportions of the food, running
over and soillDg the remainder, so that it
comes in an nnpala.able state to the weak
CT ones of the flock. Five hundred hens,
even of the smaller breeds, would require
a run of from ID to 20 acres. at the lowest
cal ulatiop; but 500 hens in one flock
could not be profitable. They should be
kept in small separate iocks. They are
thus easier tended. The sick or tine all
ing ones can be nursed and the weaker
members have their share. The cost of .
house to accommodate 90 hens Of the
small laying breeds would be somewhere
about $40 or $40, according to the taste or
ideas OF the builder. Much depends on
breed. Where large number of hens are
to be kept, separate houses or apartments
should be erected. with separate runs or
yards attached. The larger the number Of
fowls congregated together the greater liza
bi.ity to disease. Hence the necessity Of
keeping the quarters thoroughly cleaned
and in purity. This requires care and la
Dor. Without health there can be no pro-
fit and the food is expended In vain. A
bushel of any kind II grain (corn being
the staple) Is allowed to fowl for year.
A single bird of any breed will consume
that quantity during the year, and more
will be required by the larger breeds. If
one hen requires abushel Of corn 500 fowls
would take 500 busheis

What will Mamma Say?

Nettie C0rraz went TO play with her
three little brothers and two other
children on Indian Hill, Monday after
noon. She would have been 10 years
old next Sunday. Indian Hill is not
high, but its top affords fine outlook
upon Moffat's pond and Ridgewood,
n. J. When the six children got tired of
playing on the hill they went down to
play on the trestlework. There is no
structure above the rails, and no foot
path beside them, but there Is oppor-
tunIty for an agile person to take refuge
from the single track when train passes
on the projecting ends of the ties which are
only three or four feet above the shallow
water beneath them, and for the most
of the way the trestlework is built over
dry ground. Mr.. Wakeman, neigh
Dor, saw the children, and ordered them
of, and Mrs. Morris, another neighbor,
sent special word to the children that
the train which leaves Montolair at sos
o'clock would come along and kill them
all unless they went away. They were
near the south end of the bridge. At
sos the train thundered along through
the cut, around the curve, and down ON
the bridge. The engineer saw the
children, put on the brakes, and reversed
his engine, but it was impossible to stop
the train suddenly on such a grade
All the children except Nettie and her
brother George, who is about 4 years
old, scrambled out on the ends of the
ties. She saw that he could not be
trusted to cling to the ties, and that he
must be dropped through between ties
to the dry ground beneath. The little
fellow was afraid and clung to the timbers.
This delayed her only II few seconds, but
she di not have even a second to spare.
1t is doubtful even whether she pushed
him clear through. He was found after
ward alive and well on the ground be-
meath, but he says he touched the cars
when they went over him. When she
sprang away toward the end of tie it
was too late. Her body was beyond the
track, buther left leg was severed at the
thigh and the other was crushed below
the knee.
The train was brought to a stop a
afterward, and the engineer,
with tears in his eyes, helped pick her
up. She did not lose consciousness.
"Ohi I'm killed." she exclaimed. |
'What will mamma say?" She died one |
hour after the accident.

English Dinner andDrink.

1 thought the country folk the par
sons and their wives and innumerable
daughters, and the provincial aristoc-
racy whom we saw assembled at dinner
took the heat rather philosophically.
1 could not observe that it made the
slightest difference with the consump-
ton of claret and champagne, of which
they drank floods. Don't tell me about
the II, 900, 900 of bottles Of Zoedone
drank In Great Britain last year! I tell
you that England is thirsty for alcohols,
and that men, women and children
consume them in enormous quantities,
from morning to night, aad well into
night. How it would make a good
Massachusetts, Puritan who has never
travelled stare to see SIMS which an
English family of means will spend on
its dinner! And then after dinner they
trundle of, parsons and all, to theatres,
where they have paid g, 80 each for
seats at performances which begin a
little before 9, and are over before IL.
And then they come home to the hotel,
and have supper-xnd lots of it. No
ices, save now ami tnen at dinner; no
iced teas. waters, or sparkling thinnes-
ses; but wines with bodies and liquors
with "spirits" powerful enough to over
come the will of 81. Anthony. 1t SEEM
ed to me that the dinner was badly serv-
ed, but as the heat quite took away my
appetite, refused to be guided by my
impressions of that particular occasion.
The English initiate, to the outward
seeming, in these days, the Continental
fashion of dinners at fixed prices, served
in courses, but careful inspection shows
that the cooks regarded the entrees as of
no consequence whatever, and concen-
trated all their attention on the inevi-
table roast beef or mutton. The fish,
even at the grandest of these London
hotels, is almost always detestably sery-
ed; soups, divided for convenience of
the walters, I suppose, into "tbick'
and "clear," are rarely first-class; roasts
of game only fair. And in fruit London
is a century behind Paris,

While the fever of speculation lasted
those who picked up large amounts of
bonds for merely nominal sum made
money out of their dupes for we learn
that at TIER eliminating point some of
the bonds were sold in England at 10
per cent. of their face value. But when

no money held in the Bank of England
on Confederate account, and when from
other sources it was learned that if there
