Be Independent.

There is nothing in this world that in
sures success SO completely % docs perfect
independence. People who uro ulways
waiting for help may wait n long time as a
general thing; itt!o assistance little cou, >.
mcndation, little Influence, is not to be
had for asking; but is always something one
can do for himself Do it, whatever It is,
and do it with will. One thing leads to
another.
If you are girl, don't sit still and hope
that rich man vii! marry you, while
your old father tolls for your daily bread
Lean how to help yourself, and take
oaro Of yourself as much as possible.

you or suffer-
Two hands, two feet sight and

aud healthy.
We like men who can defy adverse cir.
cumstsnocs, and could earn living in any
quarter of the world in which they were
dropped down; who can roll up their sleeves
and set to work at almost everything that
offers, and who can even scw on their own
buttons aud make cup Of tea when de-
ptivcd Of the help of womaniiind.
We like women who arc not annihiatcd

could preside at the White House or scrub
the kitchen floor, if either unpleasant effort
were necessary; who orc not afraid TO travel
few miles a'ouc, and who can split kind.
ling wood and unoork btttlc with the
scissors, if nothing better is at hand; md
who, moreover, if plunged into the depths
of poverty, would fight their own way out
of it, asking help of no man.
Independence makes no woman less low
ing. The most helpful women are fondcst
aud truest, wo think; and MS for q man,
never trust him 10 any capacity if hc has
not WITHIN him the true spirit Of indepop,
dcncc, without which neither strength nor
sweetness may bc hupcd for.
In the battle of life there is but ono way
to succeed: fight it out yourself Give the
helping hand when you may. Take it if ia
some sore strait it is offered freely; bu,
never as.; Tor it; be independent as far as
man may be, if you would honor yourself
or be honorod by othors, or be happy

History Of tho Tomato.

a good many years ago man who had
recently arrived from tho Bermuda Islands
was sent to York County, Po., Jail for some
ohense committed ngninst the laws of the
common wealth. lie had with him few
the Jail yard. Before the plants which
sprong from the seeds reached maturity, he
was discharged, and no one kncw tho nano
or nature of them They grew 'nxur;antiy
bearing fruit Of a large size aud unusual
appearance. AS that strange fruit ripcncd, },
its color changed from green to brilliant
rcd, and became an object of wonder and
admiration of all the inmates of tho Jail.
Mrs, klinefeior, the lady keeper, cautioned
all the prisoners against eating any of tho
fruit, as she was sure it was poisonous, and
besides planted the seeds, MS she would on.

just when tho fruit was fully maturcd

asked to sec the pl ant. This request
granted, he next called for salt, pepper and
vinegar, and to the horror of tho good lady
commcrccd to cat Of the supposed poison
GUS fruit with rciis!, that as.onishcd the
bchoIdcrs. After enjoying the strange re-
past, he informed Mrs. *. thot the fruit or
vegetable was the tomato, or love apple,
and it would be found wholesome and nu-
tritous. The seeds of the remaining toma--
toes were carefully preserved and distrib~
utcd among the friends and ncighbors of
tho lady, and thus this now popular cscu-
lent was introduced into the ancient and

The search for pearls in the musscs Of
Ohio has been a considerable industry for
years. The Nashville 1mericdn reports
an outbreak of pearl hunting in Stones

less than 500 people were engaged daily
in raking the bottom of that stream, dclv-
ing down in the mud for musscls, which
arc piled along tho banks, opened, critically
cxamiu cd for tho treasures contained in
many Of them. Ono pcarl.is reported for
which $50 was paid in New York. Tho
general range Of value, however, is Raid to
be from so cents to $25.

in an opinion rendered January 8, tho
Supreme Court of tho United States des
cidcs that the bonds and stocks of ono State
may bo consttutionolly taxed in another.
Whether State bonds arc taxed or aro cx-
prcssly exempt from tnxatiou at home, the
fact in either case, tho court holds, does
not prevent them from being taxed else
where, for tic reason that no State can ex.
cmpt property from taxation out of its own
jurisdiction.

Judah ?, Bcninmin who vns Secretary
Of tho Confederate Government and ought
to know az much about tho subject rs any
one, has written !cttor from London on
tho subject Of Confederate bonds cold in
I;ngland. Mr.. Benjamin does not bcicvo
that one penny is to be found anywhere
in Europe Of the assets of the defunct
Confederacy." lie also asserts that if any,
thing can be recovered by the bondhodcrs
''it eau only be by Government action in
the United States.'' This shows plain
cnough-for Mr.. Benjamin knows what he
is talking about, being one Of the first law
ycrs of the English bar--that tho recent
boom in Confederate bonds was wild bit
of speculation aud that tho holders of this
species Of paper in the South who took
advantage Of the occasion to cell out were
wise in their their day and generation.
Among the nations the United
States has by far the largest mile
age Of railroads in proportion to
population. Sweden comes next
and tho British empire third.
Great Britain sends thc largest
proportion Of letters and postal
cards, the United States next and
switzerland third. Switzerland
is most liberal in the use Of the
telegraph. Belgium has the largest
mileage Of railroad in proportion
to area. The improvement OF
means of travel, transportation
and intcrcommunication has been
marked by an extraordinary in
crease in the tendency Of popula-
ton towards great commercial
contcrs. There arc various opin~
ions as to whether this is q
healthy tendency or not, but those
impolled by it will never be con-
tent till thoy have tried it, and

Dealing With q Liar.

The only way to deal with a liar
is to beat him at his own game.
That is, of course, unless it is the
editor of plous newspaper. What
started this item was reading about
an Americad who had been to Europe,
and who was telling a friend, who
knew he was liar, about his trip
across the Atlantic, and how, on the
25th of the month, "they encountered
swarm of locusts, and the locusts
carried away everey stitch of canvas
off the ship" The listener looked
thoughtful moment, and then said,
hesitating, Yes, guess we met the
same swarm of locusts the next day,
the 26th. Every locust had on pair
of canvas pants" The first liar went
around a corner and kicked himself.

What Would be Left.

Said an Austin teacher to one OF
his highest pupils:
"If your father gave you a basket
of peaches to divide between you and
your little brother, and there were
forty peaches in the basket, after you
had taken your share what would be
left"
"My little brother would be left,
for I'd take all the peaches. That's
the kind of a Congressman I'm 90
ing to be when I grow up."-Teras

Lending to the Lord.

A Georgian was one day honored
with a call from a local clergyman,
who stated that he was soliciting
subscriptions for the erection of a
new church edifice, and added;
1.-THE Lord will surely prosper all
who aid u.s."
"Do you honestly believe that"
"Why certainly l do"
The other subscribed $500, and as
the clergyman rose to go, he said:
81 have no doubt the Lord will
repay you for this inside Of six
months"
Only six weeks had passed when
the liberal hearted subscriber called
upon the clergyman and said:
"You remember I subscribed $500
towards your church building. l
now want to go $500 more for the
seats and carpets"
HAS the Lord prospered you. as l
predictedp

year or so ago he became enamored with
handsome and accomplished Eastern
woman, wooed and won hor. The honey
moon was all that loving hearts could
make it, and their future gave promise
OF great continuous happiness. The
lady was blessed with more than ordi-

and TO perfect the divine art she was
sent abroad by her husband. She visit
