The N mister on the Newspapers.


DR.. Thompson, Of the Third Presby-
terian church. of Pittsburg, Pa, in q
recent lecture to the young on "What
and How We Should Read, had this to
say Of newspapers:
If you want to be well informed,
you must read the best periodical liter
ature of the day. Much of the bright
est and most stimulating thought you
will find there. Many people WHO
affect literary taste sneer at the news
papers. Possibly a few can afford TO
do this-those who live in the high
realms Of abstract thought or poetry ;
but to the practical people, who would
keep abreast Of the worlds general in
telligence, the newspaper is an abso-
lutte necessity. You will not be well
educated without it.
know, indeed, that there is much
time wasted over papers. Many things
that fill them are so partisan, or so I'M
important, or SO degrading, as to fur
nish no intellectual help. Good news
papers have engaged upon them some
Of natures best brain. They cover the
world, not only with their eyes, but
with their reflections. The man who
reads good newspapers will be thereby
nearer the movements Of this great
age than he could possibly get in any
other way. MIR. Hamnerton contrasts
the ignorance of French peasants with
the keen intelligence and the ability
for concerted action Of every kind
among the people Of the United States,
and finds the difference in the fact that
the latter read the papers and the
former do not. The same writer quotes
the effect of abstaining from news
paper reading in the case of Comte,
the great French philosopher, who so
isolated himself from the living world
and its shrewd common sense THAT, great
thinker that he was, he drifted into the
most absurd folIies. Since art is so
long and life SO short, every man should
read in the line Of his work. He should
never be so hindered by the glare of
his work as never to increase his hori-
zon and see the lands that lie beyond
But mans profession or trade must
be to him the largely absorbing thing,
If your calling is worthy your pursuit
at all it viii tax you to the utmost.
There is no end to the harvest it will
yield you if you cultivate it, There
fore since you cannot read everything,
read toward your aim. Do you say ?
"Then how about general culture ?"
You should not be ignorant OF the
worlds literature, but good deal Of
general culture is general nonsense.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

inclination and interest determin
the will.
Be deaf to the quarrelsome, and dumb
to the inquisitive.
Happily for little men the giants have
seldom any great wit.
One day is worth three to him who
does everything in order.
Frugality is founded on the principle
that all riches have limits.
No ashes are lighter than incense, and
few things burn out sooner.
Sow good services; sweet remem.
brances will grow from them.
Unbecoming forwardness oftener pro.
ceeds from Ignorance than inpudence.
To correct an evil which already ex-
lists is not SO wise as to foresee and pre-
vent it.
Evil would not be half so dangerous
If it did not often wear the semblance
of virtue.
The generality Of men have, like
plants, latent qualities, which chance
brings to light.
A couplet of verse, period of prose,
may cling to the rock Of ages as shell
that survives deluge.
In general there is no one with whom
life drags SO disagreeably as with him
who tries to make it shorter.
White men should exhibit the same
insensibility to moral tortures that red
men do to physical torments.
In this commonplace world, every
one is said to be romantic who either
admiresa fine thing or does one.
He who once did you kindness will
be more ready to do you another than he
whom you yourself have obliged.
The first etep toward making mau

he who bears failures with patience
is as much Of philosopher as he who
succeeds; for to put up with the world
needs as much wisdom as to control it.
The law of the harvest is to reap more
than you SOW. Sow an act and yov reap
a habit; SOW habit and you reap a
character; SOW character and you reap
a destiny.
He who makes baseless insinuation
against neighbor's integrity or honor
is guilty Of an injustice which is afro
cious and monstrous in comparison with
the petty depreciation Of the despicable
thief who breaks into his granary and
surreptitiously carries away his corn.

to meet" the swallowers Of false teeth.
Brunei, the great engineer, had q mar
row escape once upon a time, when
amusing some children by causing a
half sovereign to vanish from his mouth
and reappear in his ear, the coin sud
denly slipping down into his gullet. He
tried to cough it up without effect.
There it stuck. Every surgical device
was tried to get hold Of it without avail.
IL became evident that If the coin could
not be dislodged, fatal results would
ensue. In the dire dilemma into which
he had needlessly brought himself,
Brunei devised a wooden structure to
which he could be strapped head down
ward, in the hope that the half sever
eign would fall out of his throat by the
force Of gravity. He was fixed to the
machine head downmost keeping his
mouth open. To his inexpressible re-
Lief, the coin dropped from its lurking.
place and rolled to the floor. A Ger
man iuggler who had introduced vari-
alton of the sword-swallowing feat by
swallowing q bayonet and balancing
theron the musket to which it was at
tached, came to grief under even more
alarming circumstances, ss the weapon
broke short off and the steel slipped
down into his gullet. He acted on the
same principle as Brunei and promptly
inverted himself, and with the aid of
two friends stood feet upwards till, by
force of gravity, the bayonet dropped to
where it could be reached from the
mouth and drawn out. In March, 1887,
thesurgeons at the Edinburgh Infrmary
relieved woman of a brass paddock, an
inch and tWo-thirds long and an inch
in width, which she had swallowed.
Four years ago they were less fortunate
in the case of a boy who had swallowed
piece of brass chain, and in 1880 a
child in Devonshire was vainly treated
who had allowed small tin whistle to
slip from the mouth into the trachea.
Since the Introduction Of the balloon
whistles there have been several fatal
accidents from-by inhaling instead of
expelling the breath to fill the balloon
swallowing the whistle and india
rubber sack attached to it, about the
ugliest thing imaginable to deal with,
since the toy sticks in the windpipe,
and every attempt to breathe tends to
initiate the balloon, and so.the sufferer
is choked as promptly and inexorably
as if he were in the grasp of garotte.
The moral of all which is that people
should, be careful about putting solid
substances in their mouths. York

Hanuman's Rope as a TaIisman.

The popular pocket piece just now in
this city is piece of hangman's rope.
If all the hangman's rope were taken
from the pockets Of superstitious st.
Louisians, they would form rope OF
considerable length. The five hang
ings recently taking place in this city
have brought out again the superstition
that hangman's rope is a sure cure for
rheumatism. consumption, heart disease,
apoplexy and everything else. The
rope is sure cure for all the ills that
flesh is heir to, if properly applied and
adjusted; but that is not the way that
great many st. Louis men and women
look at it.
In the police stations nearly every
prisoner who is searched, carries bit
of rope, and great number of private
citizens treasure up the ghastly hempen
mementoes. Every tramp carries one.
and in the alleys frequented by the
colored populace, there are yards Of
rope with which Ellis and Ward were
executed. The supply is not yet ex-
hausted, and half an inch Of the execu-
tion rope sells for the phenomenally
low sum of five cents. A gentleman,
with whom reporter had converse
tion, stated that very nice lady had
asked him for piece Of the rope. She
was handsomely dressed, and pretty
too. With recklessness he promised to
procure her a piece, not thinking she
was in earnest. He met her again. She
asked for piece Of rope. He straight
way proceeded around among his
friends, but could not get any genuine.
He had to have piece for that lady,
however, and the brilliant idea struck
him that he could give her any piece Of
twisted hemp. She would mover know
the difference. He gave her piece Of
frayed and broken clothes-line, saying
that it was q strand of the rope, and
she put it in her purse and went away
happy. Several parties have been sell
ing the rope about town and taking in
the gullible people.-iS. Louis Repaid

When / Rains.

When It Rains.
When il rains, and with the rain
Never bird has heart to sing,
And across the window pane
Is no sunlight glimmering;
When pitiless refrain
Brings tremor to the lips,
Our tears are like the rain
As 1t drips, drips, drips-
Like the sad ,lnceasing rain as it dfips.
When the light of heavens blue
Is blurred and blotted quite,
And the dreamy day to you
Is but long twilight;
When it seems that ne'er again
Shall the sun break its eclipse,
Our tears are like the rain
As it drips, drips, drips-
Like the endless. friendless rain as it drips
When 1t rains weary heart,
Oh, be Of better cheer
The leaden clouds win part
And the morrow viii be clear.
Take up your load again,
With prayer upon your lips,
Thanking heaven for the rain,
As it drips, drips, drips-
With tie golden bow of promise as it drips.

Indigenous Potatoes in ARIZONA.
San Francisco Alta.

The California Academy of Sciences
recently held it's regular semi-monthly
meeting, with DR.. II. Herman Behr,
NJ. D., in the chair. John G.. Lennon,
member of the Academy, who has
just returned1from six months botan-
ical campaign in the rugged range ef
mountains in Arazona along the Mexi-
can frontier, gave an interesting syn
opsis of his seasons work, during all
of which he was accompanied by his
talented wife. Prof. Lennon made q
very important discovery in these hith-
erso unexplored mountain ranges. he
found two, and perhaps three. speci-
mems of native indigenous potatoes,
some Of which were growing in noun
tain meadows, whose surrounding
peaks were 10000 feet above sea level.
There these tubes grew abundantly as
large as walnuts, and he has brought
with him quite liberal supply, which
will be given to those who will engage
to plant and raise potatoes from this
stock, for six or eight years, or sufi-
GENTLY long to bring them up, by prop
or cltivation, to the size of our domes.
tic varieties. Ruiz and Pavon speak of
the early home Of the potato as yet
undiscovered, but it is generally be-
lieved to have been accredited to the
high lands of Peru, where some claim
it was reported to have been observed
as early as 1860. Humboldt, however,
failed to find it there, and as Sir Wal
ter Raleigh carried potatatoes from
Virginia to England in 1856, it appears
more likely that they were natives of
North America at some point further
north than the early Spanish settle
ments. California was early limited at
as it's native soil. This important dis
covery of Prof. Lennon, seems now to
fix it in the mountain meadows of
Arizona.

1913 chicks; of these eighteen died
leaving ll2 young birds. Seventy.
four OF of the birds were sold at three
months old for 9l6 each, and estimat.
ing the remaining forty-one birds to
have been worth only e12 each, q re-
turn is shown from one set of birds
of FL $40. The next year the same
set of ostriches laid llS eggs, producing
seventy seven chicks, and the first
six months of the third year they
laid ninety-seven eggs, producing
eighty-one chicks, being more than
80 per cent. After this the cock was
killed, bya thoughtless man, for its
feathers.
DIR. j. Protheroe, who owns the
twenty-five breeding ostriches now
in Central Park, and who brought
them from South America, to which
country they were brought a year
ago from South Africa, spoke briefly
on the subject of the care and breed
ing of ostriches. The speaker called
attention to the fact that young os-
triches required no artificial food.
They would feed themselves by graz
ing until they were separated for
breeding purposes. DR.. Prothero
expects to take his ostriches to CAL
ifornia very soon.
The Rev. ]. J. Lightbourn was not
in favor of raising ostriches for their
feathers. He said such anindustry only
fostered vanity and extravaganza, and
he did not believe in it. When he
plucked feather from a goose he
slept on it, but a feather plucked
from an ostrich did nobody any real
good. He would not raise tobacco and
would not raise ostriches.
