Act From Principle.

How few persons there are whose
livessare entirely governed by principle
rather than inclination. Even those Of
us who may be endeavoring to live for
high purposes come far short of our as
pirations; alasl how very for short.
How often we find ourselves debating
with our convictions of right and duty,
questioning if it might not be as well
for us to yield to inclination just for the
time, promising. our disturbed con-
sciences that we viii make UP for the
present indulgence, by more rigorous
self!denial and strict attention to, duty.
Vain, fallacious reasoning of a weak
nature! We can never make up for
one neglected opportunity unimproved,
one misspent hour, one wrong, selfish
act. Once past, the opportunity unim-
proved, the hour wasted, the actacom-
mitted, it is beyond our reach or recall,
except in thoughts or regret. We may
atone for it, but we can never change
the past. Alas! how painfully are we
aware Of the fact. Then should we all
endeayor, the more earnestly to make
our lives ornaments Of, principle; .for we
all know that after all, the path of duty,
though sometimes rugged, is not with
out sweet pleasure; and let us never
follow our inclinatiens if they would
lead us away from right. Then shall
we be permitted to look at the last back
upon our lives with satisfaction, feeling
that we have "done what we could"
and that our Father regards US with
smiles of approval, ,,,raA,ra.

Joke ON Gould.
From the Little Rock Gazette


Yesterday man went into Littl,

IN expensive meal, he remarked to the
proprietor: ' c.''- 30 t|.',

with evident lack of interest. ssos "a
'"Good joke on Jay" continued the
customer. "All the newspapers pub

another quail-he went into an eating
house, and actually had to borrow
money to pay for the meal. Icouldn't
keep from laughing at him. He VOWS
that he will get even with me. Such
thing is likely to happen to most any
body. J Don't You think so2",oA 0Qo,
The proprietor yawned and said he
had never studied the subject, and
looking suspiciously at the customer
added he didn't care, any way. The Gus.
tones kept handling kind of endless
chain of words until he finished eating,
when he took up the ticket which i'm

owed the house so. al' aros
"By George" he exclaimed, search
ing his vest pockets, Hanged if old
Jay hasn't turned the tables on me. I

that huge joke. Haw, haw, left my
money at the hotel. I'll be back" O..
"Don't be in a hurry" said the pro-
prietor. I can appreciate the joke.
Bill, tell policeman to come here. I

The Mother Of Forty.four Children.
Boston Transcript.

Xxx 4 Ia
If the Great Napoleon's famoussdefi-
milton Of superlative female excellence
may be accepted as correct, DR.. Mary
Austin is unquestionably the most ad-
mirable woman in France. This lady
has just completed her thiry-third year
of welded life, during which period
she has presented her husband with no
fewer than !forty-four' pledges of her
wifely affection. In the spring of 1853,
four years. after her marriage, Mary
Austin, nee Kind, passed her final ex-
aminations at the Medical College of
Orleans, and obtained diplomas author
izing her to practice in both branches
of, her profession. As sooni as the
Franco russian war broke out she
Joined the army of the q Union with
her husband, and the prolific pair served
with extraordinary distinction through
out the four years struggle-Dr. Aus
tin in her surgical capacity and Col.
Austin as an active militant. The for
mer, whilst attending to- the hurts sof
her comrades under fire, was thrice
wounded in action-the latter five
times. At the conclusion of the. war
the valiant doctor, having lost her left
eye in the service of her country, but
in other respects none the worse for
her injuries and fatiques, returned to
her private practice covered with glory
and in the enjoyment of staff officers
pension. Since then she. had lived IN
peace and honor,the pride of aher fellow
citizens, and indefatigable in her en-
deavors to render her warrior lord the
happiest of fathers. -

Cleanliness.

AS rule, every boy and girl, every
young man and woman who will can
have clean clothes, a clean body, clean
face, hands and feet. clean teeth and a
clean, sweet breath. Now, in your own
mind, contrast cleanliness with its OPP
posite. If we were only seeking to
please the eye, the former is worth all
the care necessary to secure it; we go
farther than this, however. Noone can
be careless of his person and -unclean
in his habits without producing and
perpetuating like disorder in mind and
in all he does. 1850 T."

WHERE STOCKINGS ARE MADE.
From the Chicago Times.

From the Chicago Times.
As nearly everybody wears stockings-and /
advise those who do not to give them trial
nearly everybody will be interested in knowing
wherethey come from. ChemnitZ is the greatest
stocking manufacturing and exporting city In
the world. 1t is possible-yes, it Is highly pro-
bable-that you, my fair north-slder, have on q
pair Of stockings, in two cOlors, which were
manufactured in one of the big factories here.
You think not, for they came out of a box
which had French label on, and you bought
them for the latest Paris sensation. True
enough, but the best French hose are not manu-
are made in ChemnitZ, Saxony. And. my dainty
friend. with your feet hanging out of the win
dow Of a south side club room, you are admiring
those beautiful silk embroidered Balbriggan
socks OF yours. These were sold to you for the
genuine Irish goods. They were never on Irish
soil they were not manufactured by Irishmen.
They were made i'm ChemnitZ. The best Irish
Babriggan hose in the world are purchased
here. And. my jOvial west-sider, the English
regulars or half regulars which you purchased
the other day, and which you told your wife
were the easiest-litting and most comfortable
you ever had on your feet are not English
stockings at all. They are the product of
Saxon loom. and are all the better for it. French
Irish and English hosiery, in cotton, half cotton,
wool, half wool and silk or half silk, plain,
striped. or embroidered. for ladies' children or
gentlemen, are manufactured in Chemnitz in
quantities that amaze one, and constitute one of
the greatest industries of this industrious city,

THE VIENNA POLICE AND THE
CHICAGO POLICE.
The Two SysteIllss

From supt. McGargle's Report
Vienna has population twice that Of Chi
cago, and to care for this number it has a police
force which numbers about 1850 men. The
city is divided into II police districts covering an
area of about % square miles, This gives
little over 40 policemen to each square mile.
The governing force Of the department is rather
cumbersome, there being president. vice.
president 20 boards Of police members and a
large number of commissioners, both chief and
private attorneys. inspectors clerks. bailiffs,
and other department officials. The sub
divisions of the force include the regu-
lar patrol the vault police and those who
give attention to sanitary matters. The patrol
police consist of general inspector, 4 chief in
spectors, II precinct inspectors. 12 district in
spectors. 100 inspectors of the first grade ard
the same number of the second grade and 2. 100
patrOlmen. There are 116 men in the vault
police and 46 in the sanitary police. In addition
to these there are 65 mounted policemen. The
duties OF the Vienna force include many details
They regulate the sale of books papers Journals
and the like, and issue licenses in cases Of ap-
prOval. They have the regulation of clubs, So
cieties and meetings; they have the control of
the issuing of passports and their examination;
they regulate intelligence offices and servants :;
they attend to trades and to the giving of H.
censes; they have the oversight of hacks ex-
press wagons and the inspection of theaters and
other public buildings in addition to their regu-
lar patrol duties on the streets. The members
of the force are fine body of men in appear
ance. They have dark blue uniform helmets.
and are armed with swords.
comparison of some of the points of the
Vienna and the Chicago police forces may be Of
Interest," The population of Vienna at the last
census was 1.072 7753; that of Chicago 5J3,2OS;
the numerical strength of the Vienna police
2, 795, that of Chicago sos. The last annual re-
ports of the two cities show the ratio OF the
police to the population to be, in Vienna one
policeman to each 3S7 and in Chicago one to
each LOCO. The number of arrests made by the
Vienna nolice during the last year reported was
1896, tie number by the Chicago police 81, 7l3.
In Vienna the average number of arrests by
each policeman was 81 by each Chicago police
man 6234. These differences are very marked
and are. think, deserving of close examination

Unendurable Pains.

He sang.
From the London telegraph.

From the London telegraph.
Swollen feet and ankles. sharp and at times
almost uncomfortable pains in the knee-i Oints,
in the hips and the back were chief among the
patients ailments, but two or three, though
less seriously were perhaps much more tor
mentngly afflicted. There was one poor girl
of robust habit and sturdily built who came in
shuffiing along and fiinching at every step like
person with govt. and who was suffering from
corns on the sOles of her feet, and the doctor
informed me that this was a common result Of
standing and walking many hours day in thin
shoes on a boarded floor. The poor patient in
question-she was about eighteen years old
could not refrain from crying. She had
tried every remedy that had been sug-
gested to her, including caustc and extraction.
but as fast as her cOrns were destroyed they
came again. She had lined her boots with wad-
ding. she said, and with layers of oiled flannel;
but come the evening. when her feet grew tired,
the cOrns began to burn and thrOb: and to use
her own words. it was like walking on hot
spiinters of glass. and the only way she could
get rid OF the pain, so as to able to sleep when
she went to bed, was to immerse her feet in
warm water for half an hour or so. hardly
know whether she was most to lee ptied, or the
young woman who was with her and who was
employed at the same drapery establishment
Instead of cOrns. she had bisters on the soles of
her feet. and which of late had SO incapaci-
tated her from getting about briskly that she
had been threatened with discharge from her
present situation.
1t is only just to say that of all those talked
with this was the only ShOp-girl who complained
of harsh treatment on the part of the employer.
The female employees as rule, seem to be lib
orally paid. fairly fed and comfortably lodged.
and have nothing to find fault with excepting
the many hours a day they are kept at work and
the cruelty inflicted on them by denying them
the privilege of sitting down in their brief spells
of leisure from counter duty. But the poor girl
with bstered feet seemed to have fallen into
the hands of exceptionally hard taskmasters.
1--WE can't have you here. you know, limping
about the place like cat on hot bricks" was
the unfeeling remark, as she informed us the
shop-waKer had addressed to her on the pre-
vious day, land we expect our hands to appear
lively and pleasant. not to look cross and sulky
at every customer they have to serve after 8
o'clock or so, as though they resented their COM
ing at all at that hour. Customers don't like it,
and don't like it, and l won't stand it, but
it is not that am cross and sulky," said the
poor creature. at is because my feet ache SO
and am SO tired
