had discovered that there was only one
married woman on this street who

reflection: ~ wonder, now, who it can

Josh Billings recently explained how
he wrote his famous aphorisms. He
sad: "They come to me spontaneous
ly. may be walking down Broadway,
or in an omnibus, on II train, or talking
here to you, when they come like a
fash. 1t may be some days, however,
before determine the exact form they
shall have. One day. recently, | was
called upon to make i hasty decision.
Says /: of two cans choose the less
Then stopped to think. That isn't
right said |. 1T is as old as the hills
and has beena proverb in all languages
but it's not right You don't want to
choose either of two evils, do you? Sc
l said. that of two evils accept the less
That is better"

On platform like that of the Amcri
can Missionary Association at Cleve-
land the nativity of the speakers can
generally be guessed at by their pro
nunciation of the word Negro. North
erners all pronounce it as it is spelled.
While the Southerners called to that
platform no longer pronounce it Niger.
they do give it the sound Of Nig-rO. A
Southerncr has to be more thoroughly
reconstructed than grace can provide
for in this generation TO say Negro
easily. 1t is noticeable, however, that
DR.. Haygood has got so far as to be
able to give the pronunciation correctly
perhaps half the time. 1t takes a good
while to learn such lessoA.

Unity of action, concord, sympathy
and gOOdfelowship are admirable traits
in human character but they will not

effects or influence. In fact this mala-

stroyers, except Ely's Cream Balm.

Herbert Spencer had hardly done
with criticieing us in his friendly and
commonscnsr way before another Eng
H-hmau. Scym"u" laden, began TO
criticize the criticism, telling the ban
quetcrs at the Lotos Club that he had
never seen the least injury resulting
from Overwork, and putting his for
mula thus: " Honest work hurts no
body; worry overwork may hurt any
body. 1t is not overwork that hurts,
it is worry" This Is an added point
well worth thinking about. We have
no doubt that worry has Il much larger
army of victims than work; but the
truth of the matter lies between the
positions of the author and the artist
namely, that both overwork and worry
are what do us injury, and both are tc
be equally avoided.

Cheap Living.

1t will be extremely gratifying to the
thousands who have been receiving
scanty wages, and scarcely knew how
to make ends meet to find a steady
decline in the price of bread and meat,
the two leading staples of life. 1t has
been mystery to us how prices should
have reached such alarming figures in .
the face of a year of abundant crops. /
The largest crop of wheat ever grown /
i'll the United States was gathered; |
fruit was abundant, corn promising
and there has been during the last year
a large increase i'll marketable stock,
and yet prices ruled ruinOusly high,
striking terror to the hearts of poorly
paid labor. Arguments to prove that
these high prices were the results Of Il
scarcity Of crops prove futile. The
people know better There has not
been the failure Of single crop. These
high prices then have been the result
of rascally combinations of grain and
stock gamblers whereby the poor are
! the sufferers.
! 1t is sincerely hoped that some means
will be devised some law passed
! which will circumvent these gamblers
in the necessary commodities Of life
1t is Il little consolation, however, to
know that the darkness is breaking 50
far as high provisions are concerned.
The prices Of the necessaries of life are
falling. Meat and flour are cheaper
than they were Il year ago, and con-
stantly though slowly growing cheaper.
When they get down to five dollars a
barrel for good flour, twelve cents a
pound for beef steak and ten cents fol
! pork, then poor people can begin tc
live comfortably There are no gooC
and valid reasons why thrs" price.

Somc persons can wear cheap jewel
rywithout its furnishing. while on others
even gold ornaments soon change color.
The following explanation 81 the two
facts Is given BY the Jerciitr:
II is well known that the human body
contains humors and acids, similar in
action 70. and having like tendency
onward. baser metals. as nitric and sui
phuric acids have. namely. to tarnish or
dissolve them, varying in quantity in
different persons; Of this theory we
have abundant proof in the effects
which the wearing Of jewelry pro-
duceS On different persons. Thou
sands wear continually. without any i'll
eject. the cheaper class Of jewelry with
brass ear-wires. while il Others wore the
same article for a few days. they would
be troubled with sore ears; or. IN other
words. the acids contained in the system
would 50 act On the brass as 10 produce
III results. Instances have occurred IA
which articles Of jewelry of any grade
below eighteen carat have been tar
nished in few days. merely from the
abovc-named cause
True. these instances are not very fire.
qucnt: nevertheless il u well 10 know
them and they are sufficient ~ prove
that IL Is not in every case the fault ~
the goods not wearing a. Il Il gem
orally called but the result Of the par
sicular constitution By which they are
worn. -- Youths Companion.
