DIDN'T KNOW CATO.

A little knot Of men got into dispute
in Deadweod regarding some of the
ancients. A part Of the crowd held that
Cato was great poet, while others as
serted that he was an orator, and it was
finally agreed to leave it to grocer
around the corner who was supposed to
be we'll posted on most all matters. The
crowd therefore proceeded to his store
in body, and the spokesman brusquely
queried:
essay, Jim, can you settle disputea"
eyes, sir" was the prompt reply.
"WeD, then, what was Cato's best
holdp"
"Cato- Cato-hold on a minute, re-
Piled Jim, as he started for his desk.
He opened his ledger, ran down the in
dex to 30" glanced over the names
and then returned and said:
"Don't find him here on my books,
and I reckon he was some scrub who
jumped in here awhile, got down to
roots and then took the cross-cut for
Gunnison. Did he go through any of
you?"

Il BRIGHT BOY.

An editor Of an Illinois paper took
BOY to learn the printers trade. He was
careful to impress upon his mind the ne
cessity of obedience and of doing every
thing thoroughly. After preliminary
instruction the Lad was given a stick
and rule and was taken to case to
wrestle with piece Of copy. The ed
itor went off to a political convention.
The other boys in the Office paid but lit
tie attention to the new recruit, and
when the editor returned half day later
he found the boy down upon his knees
searching for something on the floor.
"What's the matter, Johnny" said he.
"Why I dropped type before I got
the first line sci" replied the boy, "and
you told me before went to work that
whenever I dropped type I must stop
and pick it up before I did anything
else. I've been looking for that con-
founded type all day and I can't find it,
Need we say that boy succeeded in
business? He grew up, went West, and
became President Of an editorial asso-
citation.

4 VISIT TO HENRY CHAPS TOMB.

IL
Here we visited Ashland Farm, the
home of the "Great Harry of the West. T"
All of that eace magnificent farm Tex
cept that portion owned by James Clay
and on which he now resides) was
bought by the State of Kentucky. A
portion has been set apart for an Agri-
cultural and Mechanical School. The
old residence, ON account of its dilapi-
dated condition, has been rebuilt by one
of his sons on the same model. A good
many of the trees planted by the hands
of Mr.. and Mrs. Clay as ornaments to
the grounds have been cut down and car
ried way. He is buried on one Of the
elevated spots in the Lexington ceme-
terry. The State of Kentucky has erect
ed over his remains very imposing
monument of granite and marble, cut
from its own quarries. In the basement
of the monument, through a glass door,
is seen his tomb, on which is inscribed
one of those eloquent sentences, taken
from one of his speeches In Congress, in
which he calls on God to bear him wit
ness to the purity of his motives and the
absence of any desire for self-aggrand-
Nement that prompted his advocacy Of
the pen1ing measure before Congress.

EATING WATERMELON.

instruction in eating watermelon is
given by the Baltimore american,
which should be good authority, as it is
published in the melon region. The
hotel plan of cutting a watermelon Like
a tulip, and putting lump Of leo in it
is condemned, because ice should never
touch the pulp, but burial of the I'M
cut melon in ice for two days is wise.
Then cut lengthwise and eat between
meals. "People deal uniustly with this
fruit sometimes by eating hearty din
ner first and then topping off with a
melon, and then If moral earthquake
sets up in the interior they charge it to
the melon. The watermelon was in
tended as an episode-an interiude-a
romance without words-a noeturne in
green and red-not to be mingled with
bacon and green's"

THE ORIGIN OF THE Pillow.

Not only the beginning of agriculture,
but the invention of the pillow itself, is
prehistoric. The pillow was known to
the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians,
and the very existence of these nations
points to previous thousands Of years of
agricultural Life, which alone could have
produced such dense, settled and civil
lied populations. 1t was with sense
of what the pillow had done for them that
the old Egyptians ascribed its invention
to Osiris, and the Vedic bards said the
Acvins taught its use to Manu-, the first
man. Many nations have glorifed the
pillow in legend and religion, perhaps
never more POLITICALLY than where the
Hindoos celebrate Sta, the spouse of
Rama, rising, brown and beauteous,
crowned with corn-ears, from the plowed
fields; she is herself the furrow (sata)
personifed. Between mans FIST rude
husbandry and this advanced state of
tillage lies the long interval which must
be filed in by other than historical evi.
dence. What has first to be looked for
is hardly the actual invention of plant
ing, which might seem obvious, even
to rude tribes who never practice it.
Every savage is practical botanist,
skilled in the localities and seasons of
all useful plants, so that he can scarcely
be ignorant that seeds or roots, if put
into proper places in the ground, will
grow. When low tribes are found not
tilling the soil, but living ON wild food,
as apparently all mankind once did, the
reason of the absence of agriculture
would seem to be not mere ignorance,
but insecurity, rowing Life, unsuitable
climate, want of proper plants, and, in
regions where wild fruits are plentiful,
sheer idleness and carelessness. On
looking into the condition of any known
sewage tribes, Australians, Andamaners.
Botocudos, Fuegians, Esquimaux, there
is always one or more Of these reasons
to account for want of tllage. The
turning point in the history Of agricult-
ure seems to be not the first thought Of
planting, but the practical beginning by
a tribe settled In one spot to assist
nature by planting a patch of ground
round their huts.-PopuLar Science

THE PLACID PAST.

As sailors watch from their prison
For the long gray line of the coasts,
look to the past rearisen,
And joys come over in hosts,
Like the white sea-birds from their roosts.
I love not tn indelicate present.
The futures unknown to our quest,
To-day is the life of the peasant,
But the past is q haven of rest
The Joy of the past is the best.
The rose of the past is better
Than the rose We rayish to-day
'Tis holier, purar and filter
To place on the shrine where we pray
For the secret thought we obey.
There, are no receptions nor chane~s,
There, all is placid and still:
No grief nor fate that estranges,
Nor hope that no life can fulfil,
But ethereal shelter from i'll.
The coarser delights Of the hour
Tempt and debauch and deprave;
And We JOY in poisonous flower,
Knowing that nothing can save
Our flesh from the fate Of the grave.
But surely we Leave them, returning
In grief to the weliloyed nest,
Filled with an infinite yearning,
Knowing the past to be rest
That the things of the past are the best

A MICHIGAN avenue confectioner
thought it would be rare sport to put
cayenne pepper in the straw through
which buxom maiden from the cOun-
try was about to suck glass Of cooling
lemonade. She sucked vigorously, and
then, aster she recovered from the wild
surprise that took possession Of her. she
reached for Chat joker, snatched him
over the counter, and for about i've
minutes used him ON the floor of the
shop as she had often used the fail on
the floor of her fathers barn. He is
willing to admit, considering all the
circumstances, that some things do not
pan out as much innocent mirth and

To the young lady whose intricate
overskirt is held. in mnumerable folds
by many pins, it may seem hardship
that her yearly allowance Of pins is only
about 40. Such, however, is the case
with each individual in the United
States on an equitable division of the
pins yearly sold in this country. But
the Indians in the West are not sup
posed to use their full allowance, and
collar buttons have go far done away
with the use of pins by gentlemen gen.
orally that the young Lady may perhaps
provide herself with some one else's
allowance. The pins used in the United
States are made by fourteen factories,
somewhat scattered as to locality, but
chiefly in New England. Their annual
production for several years past has
been about 1000, 100000 pins. This
number has not varied much for some
years, tho demand remaining about the
same. A few Of these 1000, 100000 are
swallowed by children, number are
bent up in schools and placed in vacant
and inviting chairs, and some millions
get into the cracks Of floors, an2 the rest
for the most part are scattered along the
byways and highways, where they have
dropped from dresses and been left to
work their way into the earth.
Two years ago the competition among
the nine principal companies then ex-
listing for the manufacture of toilet pins
led to such cutting Of prices that the
business became improbable, and the
market was flooded with goods. Dealers
who were shrewd laid in stock, and fam
lies even bought in wholesale quantities
for future needs. A year ago COM
bination was formed Of three wire COM
panies, and now all of the pins made by
them are shipped to New York, and han
died by tie head agency in this city.
From their common warehouse they are
sent to every part Of the country in
quantities varying according to the fe-
male population.
The importations of English pins are
small, and the expectation of pins from
the United States is confined to Cuba,
South America and parts Of Canada,
where, however, but few pins are sent.
England supplies almost the whole
world outside of the United States. al
though it is claimed that tie American
pins are not inferior in quality. Quality,
however, is a matter which but slightly
concerns the retail buyer. To him a
paper Of pins is a paper of pins SO long
as they don't have heads on both ends.
The raw material-the brass and iron
wire from which all American pins are
made-is from the wire mills of this
country, and much Of the machinery for
their manufacture is of American inven-
tion and patent.

EARNING a PENNY ROLL.


The poverty of Scotch lads is one OF
their best schoolmasters. It compels
them to be on the lookout to make an
honest penny, and to use it iudiciously
when earned. Two lessons are thereby
learned, thrift and enterprise. The re-
suit is that Scotchmen, all the world
over, rank among the successful men.
An illustration Of the stimulating effect
of poverty may be seen in the case Of an
eminent Scotchman, who united in him
self the double work of editing and pub
fishing Chambers Journal.
When William Chambers was an ap-
prentice to bookseller he worked from
early morning to late at night for shil-
Gngs week. One of his duties was the
oversight of the board carriers, who bore
through the streets show-b boards on which
young Chambers employer advertised a
lottery Of which he was agent.
One of these, a broken-down baker,
whose love of whisky had forced him to
become on advertising perambulator,
helped his youthful overseer to earn
daily, during several years, penny roll
for his breakfast.
The mans old employer had a passion
for reading, but without leisure for it's
qualification. He sent through the
board-carrier a proposition to Chambers
that if he would read to him, early in
the morning. while he was preparing
the batch OF bread, he would reward
him with a penny roll hot from the
oven.
The proposition was accepted. Every
morning he rose before 5 o'clock. Walk
ing mile to the bake-shop, he descend
ed into the cellar, and sat on folded-up
sack, with penny candle stuck in a
bottle in one hand and book in the
other. There and thus he read two
hours and a half to the baker and his
two sons, and then went to his appren-
ticeship work Of opening the store and
cleaning lamps.
The baker stipulated for something
droll, and the young reader led him
through "Roderick Random" and other
works Of Smollet, the novels Of Fielding,
and "Gil Bias"
An American boy would have thought
himself badly used if compelled to work
from s to half-past 7 every morning for
hot penny roll. But young Chambers,
looking upon it as so much earned in
addition to bis weekly wages, thought
himself fortunate boy.
Early in life he was thus taught that
he who would thrive must be both en-
-rrising to earn and thrifty to save.

A DEADweoD man saw another reach
for his hip pocket, thought the fellow
meant to draw a revolver on him, and so
shot him dead. Then he found the man
was about to draw flask to treat him,
and he much regretted his hasty act.
But he remarked that the last wishes of
the deceased should be carried out, and
took a drink from the flask.
