Value of Punctuality.

One cannot begin too early in life to
discipline himself to habits of the most ex-
acting punctuality in keeping every engage
ment and the performance of every service
be it little or great. Great men in all ages
have been noted for punctuality. They
believed an act to be well done, must be
done promptly Napoleon used to insist ON
absolute promptness with his marshals, say
ing:
'.Yoa may ask anything Of me but time
Washington was punctilious in exacting
promptness from all his officers.
On one occasion, when visiting Boston,
the column was ordered to move at six
O'Clock in the morning, Washington was
present before the time, but the marshal Of
the day, supposingthat the hour wastoo ear
" to start, was tardy in appearing Wash
ington looked at his watch neryously, wait
ed moment or two after six. and then or
dered the column to move Some time af-
ter, the marshal rode filriously to the front,
making many apologies for the delay.
Washington replied, pleasantly:
'sIt is our custom TO ask, not if the leader,
but if the hour has come.
John Quincy Adams, in his long service
in Congress, was never known to be late.
One day the clock struck, and member
said to the Speaker:
''It is time to call the house to order"
sNo," said the Speaker. AMr. Adams
is not in his seat yet.
At this moment Mr.. Adams appeared.
He was punctual, but the clock was three
minutes fast

Just the Difference,

Some men move through life as band
Of music moves down the street, flinging
out pleasure ON every side through the air
to every one, far and near, that can listen.
Some men fill the air with their presence
and sweetness as orchards in October days
fill the air with perfume Of ripe fruits,
Some women cling to their own houses ike
the honeysuckle over the door, yet, like it,
sweeten all the region with the subtle fra
GRANGE Of their goodness. There are trees
Of righteousness which are ever dropping
precious fruit around them. There are
lives that shine like starbeams, or charm
the heart ike songs upon holy day, How
great bounty and blessing it is to hold
the royal gifts of the soul so that they shall
be music to some and fragrance to others,
and life to all, 1t would be no unworthy
thing to live for, to make the power which
we have within us the breath Of other men 5
joy to scatter sunshine where only clouds
and shadows reign; to I'll the atmosphere
where earth's weary toilers must stand with
brightness which they cannot create for
themselves, and which they long for to en-
Joy and appreciate

weather Indications.

The following indications are furnished
BY one of the most experienced observers
in the Government Signal Service; '.lf. at
night, YOU observe remarkable clearness
of the atmosphere near the horizon, and an
unusual brilliancy or twinkling of the stars,
ii indicates an unusual humidity in the up
per regions of the atmosphere, and Is, there
fore, an indication of approaching rain.
Dew and fogs are indications of fine wealth
er; and halos, eoronals, etc, indicate rain
or snow. When the outlines of cumulus
clouds are sharp, It indicates dry atmos-
phere, therefore, fine weather. A light
scud driven across hazy clouds, indicates
heavy wind and rain. When the upper
clouds move in a direction different from
that of the lower clouds, or that of the
wind then blowing, the wind will soon
change

Intelligence reaches US ffum India Ia the
mechanically effect that the Siamese nation
has recently been plunged into mourning by
the untimely death of HIS Sublime Gran
deur the Court and Body Elephant Of the
King. Thus runs the Official title of the
albino paehydersn, who, in virtue Of his
abnormal color, IS the object Of divine wor-
ship for the time being in the kingdom Of
Siam His Sublime Grandeur. We regret 10
learn, departed this life in highly sensa-
tional manner, fraught with irreparable
disaster 20 the entire STAFF Of his household
One morning after hearty breakfast he
went mad quite unexpectedly aud trampled
Eve Of his attendants to death. To shoot
him would have been sacrilege. An at
tempt to tranquilire his perturbed spirit by
eneirciing him with huge ring of holy
bamboo, specially blessed by the High
Priest of his own particular temple, proved
worse than Intellectual, for he broke through
the ring and all but terminated the High
Priests career upon the spot He was
then with great difficulty driven into close
court Of the palace, where, after several en-
deavors to batter down the walls with his
tusks, he suddenly tOppled over on his side,
uttered last cry Of rage, and gave up the
ghost. Naturally enough this heavy calam-
ity was attributed to criminal carelessness on
the part of one or other of the attendants
intristed with the sacred elephants feed
ing. The King, therefore, interrogated the
members of His Sublime Grandeur's House
hold in person in respect to their treatment
of the illustrious defnnct, and failing to
elicit any individual confession of delin-
quency, decreed that they should one and
al be punished. Having thus vindicated
propriety, His Majesty assumed the garb
of woe, and is understood to be still incon-
solable for his loss.-Loadoa Telegraph.

The Year 1900 Not Leap Year.

The year 1900, although it u diyisiale
by without a renaineF, IS not leap year,
and il comes about in this way Under
the Julian period the solar year was con-
sidered to consist Of three handred and SIX
ty-6ve days and quarter of . day. hat as
the actual or civil year could DOT be made
10 inelade . quarter Of day, an additional
day was insertei in the calendar every
fourth year to make up for the four lost
quarters, and this is the 29sh of February.
But the Julian method Of intercallasion
made the year too long BY eleven minutes,
ten and One-thid seconds. This put the
calendar ahead of solar time one day in
about I29 years 50 to balance this, in the
adjustment Of the calendar known as the
..Gregorian, after Pope Gregory the Mi,
n0w universally adopted in Christian coun'
tries except Russia, one Of the leap year
Is dropped al the close of every century,
except when the figures Of the oenturial
year, leaving out the two eyphers at the
end, can be divided hy four without re
mainder. Thus 1000 was leap year, and
1000 win be, but 1T00, 1909 and 1900

Coming of Age.

1t is common to say that man ''comes
of age at one and twenty. This means that
he is old enough to manage his own proper
ty, to do business for and to be made do as
agreed also to vote Before he is twenty
one, if he has any property, his father or
guardian takes care of it for him; he is not
expected to do business on his own account,
and if he makes foolish bargains he can
say, II have changed my mind. There
are several other ages which are important
indeed, person may be said to be ''com-
ing of age four digerent times at his life.
From his very birth he is of age to be
owner of property, and to be protected
from violence and cheating. At seven he
becomes of age to be punished for crime,
if it can be shown that he was a bright, in
telligent lad, had-been- taught somewhat,
and knew that the thing he did was against
the law and would be punished These
things are not taken for granted until he is
fourteen. From and after fourteen it is
supposed that youth knows enough to
refrain from attacking people, or stealing,
setting houses ON fire, or things of that
kind. At fourteen. also, he is of age to be
asked, if his father should die, whom he
will choose as guardian, and of age to mar
~. This last does not mean that it Is right
or wise for a young man only fourteen to
marry, but that, if he does so, he cannot re-
tract afterward and say he was too young.
At eighteen he Is of age to be a soldier I;
at twenty-One he becomes independent of
his father and votes. These things are so
much more important than all of the others,
that reaching twenty-one Is commonly cali
ed coming Of age, as If it were magic
date for everything. At twenty-five he is
Of age to be Representative in gongress-
that Is, the people can elect him if they
choose; before that they cannot. At thirty
he can be elected Senator, and after forty
President. At forty-fye he Is Of age to be
excused from going as a soldier.
