Something for Sunday-The Right
Way to Look at Life.

We are apt, says a noted journal
ist, to take life altogether too seri
ously. five should wake up in the
bext world and ina there was none,
we should have occasion to reproach
ourselves for many neglected op.
portunities for good time lost.
We are too ambitious to get rich.
And if there is another aud a hot.
ter world than this. those of onr
restless, oyer.reaching, toiling rich
men, who find themselves where
their gold is citing and water is
scarce, may regret that they did
not make better use of their money
in a country where it was current
and at II time when il was at par.
Ii was the evident intent of the
Creator to make the lite of his crea.
lures an enjoyable and n pleasant
one. To birds and bears and fishes.
He gave the air and water for their
enjoyment to them He gave but
little care-ihat OF procuring food
for themselves and their young
and the young are not too long per
mtted to depend upon tue PARENTS
care. To man He gave dominion
over the earth; and through art
and science, skill, labor and indus.
try he is TO subject it TO his use.
That use is for the advancement of
his pleasure, for tue beautiful, ia.
tional enjoyment. The man or wo.
man who does not make that use of
lite is as unnatural and ungrateful,
as wicked and absurd, as the well.
fed bird who sits in the sun and
will moi sing. And the parent who
does not delight in seeing children
enjoy themselves is IN unnatural as
the austere sheep who snlks aud
frowns when Landings sport upon
the meadow in the sunlight. There is
more sunshine than shadow, it we
only look for il; there are more gay
than grave things; there is more OF
music and melody, and joy and
gladness in the natural universe
than there is of sad and solemn
sound and gloomy sight. The
bright and glorions orb around
which our earth revolves has only
here and there a dark spot npou it's

half in light, and reflects more OF
sunshine than shadow; the stars

THE EGYPTIAN COMPLICATION.

course, as a war between England
and Egypt alone, there is but one
solution to the question. England
can whip Egypt with one hand and
her eyes shut at that. But there are
some other things to I've considered ;
questions that would discourage a
smaller person than "John Bull"
In the first place, Arab Pasha is
not a fool, and the Arabs are not
fools; in fact we would not be sur.
prised if some of them do not pos.
cess very near as much brain power
as the "curled and perfumed" pet
Of Pail Mall! In the second place,
there are more Mohomedans in the
world than any other sect or nation
aiity. They are as thick as "leaves
in Nallambrosia,7 when the old man
died, Al d have been growing ever
since. We think we may safely
say there are three followers of the
Prophet to Que well fed Britisher.
IN the third place, the Egyptians
have power on their side that is
said to never fail-the power Of
right. In the fourth place, John
Bull deserves u licking, aud if Arab
has half the sense We give him
credit for, he is going to get it.
Not from the Egyptians, but from
the united forces of the MohOmc.
dams. Arab is working slowly, but
very sure. Blu, England takes good
care that We hear only her side of
the story. No American cores
pondents are allowed in the lines;
80, of course, we hear w the truth (!
The old country always was famous
for trutbtulncss. Well, il we make
any bets we'll bet OH Arab every
time, for some day soon there will
be seen floating in the breeze a
green flag the flag of the Prophet;
the uprising of which has caused
wars unknown and covered the
earth with blood. Then will the
world see what Arab is after; for
with the raising of that banner its
followers will awake and answer!
Down from the sleeps of Russia;
up from the plains of Tartary; out
of the jungles of India they will
pour, till the sands of Egypt are
covered with their shadows, and
then-weIl, John Bull will have his
bands full! An Egyptian war is
very insignificant affair, but holy
war is not; and it We are not mis-.
taken that is what we are going to
see !-Erchonge.

humAH IiIe. buuOn was tue nrBt
one 10 France to raise the ques, ion
OF it's extreme limit. 1t was his
opinion that man, becoming adult
at sixteen, ought TO live to six times
that age, or nine,y-six years
The eminent French physiological,
Flonrens fixing the complete de.
velopmebt Of man at twenty years.
teaches that he should live Eve
times as long as it takes biln to
become an adult. According to
this author the moment of "a com.
plete development may be recog.
nized by the fact Of the junction of
the bones with their apophses.
This junction takes place in horses
at five years, and the horse does
not live over twenty years; with
the cat ut twenty.~ight months,
and that animal rarely lives over
ten Years. With man 1t is effected
ut thirty years and he only excep
tionally liv,s beyond one.hundred
years.
The same physiological admits,
however, that human life may be
exceptionally prolonged under Ger.
tain conditions OF comfort. s0briety,
freedom from care, regularity OF
habits and observance of the rules
Of hygiene; and he terminates his
interesting study with the aphor.
ism: "Man kills himself rather than
dies"
O:her scientists, who have paid
the greatest attention to this snb.
ject, hold the same views. The
German ply siologist, Haller, main,
tanned that man might live to the
age of two hundred years. A writ.
er in the Revue Scientifique, IN
treating this subject. teaches the
conclusion, from the information he
has been able to gather, that al.
though the great ages OF mankind
have diminished, yet the mean

creased.
There seems no reason to donbt
that all have, 10 great extent, the
power of proloDgiDg their lives.
Temperance, sobriety, and regulari

ing extremes and excuses. may
seem very irksome at first, but Gus
tom soon turns it to habit, thus se-
curing happiness aud comfort rs

A proof of the benefit OF
eft Of regular living is the fact tina,
old people who have once settled

not be unsettled therefrom, even for
a few days, without danger to

Miss Susan B. Anthony, who is sixty
two years of age, is hale and vigorous,
and capable of doing any amount OF
work. She will soon go to Boston to
see about the $780, willed to her by q
wealthy lady of the Hub, lately deceas-
ed. Her History of Women's Work, J"
consisting of 1000 pages, is now COM
pleted.
Anna Dickinson has withdrawn from
the stage and is living with her sister
and aged mother at Honesdale, Pa.
"She and her family" says a friendly
writer in the Philadelphia Press, "are
poor, but proud rs ever. Anna has been
importuned by her friends TO return to
the rostrum, but she will not listen to
anything of the kind The temperance
people are especially anxious to enlist
her services. Her disastrous theatrical
venture took her last dollar. She looks
careworn and somewhat sad. Her large
expressive eyes are rs eloquent as ever,
but it is impossible not to feel, after a
glance at her face, that disappointment
has embittered her life. She had count
ed much on the success OF her Hamlet,
and studied hard to make it such, but
finally retired from the field, broken in
health and financially ruined. What
she will do next is mystery"
Lolita makes money as an actress
rapidly and easily, but sometimes loses
in investments. She is out $4,000
on Il speculative purchase of play.
About the time that melodrama was
in great demand in this country, she
learned, while visiting in London, that
Charles Reade was at work with 4
dramatist on play in which an explo-
sion in a coal mine was to be feature.
She thought that the American right
would be n good thing to buy, and glad
ly embraced the opportunity of paying
$4,000 for it before it had been named
or half written. Consequently she is
the owner for this country of 'Love and
Money" which made so bad n failure
at the Adelphi Theatre, London, that
even the boys in the pit made fun OF it.
She is somewhat consoled. however, by
the fact that no manager in this country
would now touch the best melodrama
that could be written, so that the I'M
timeliness of her property saved her
from trying in vain to sell it. AS it is
not apiece in which she herself can APP
pear, she will ''lay it away back on the
top shelf, conscious thatno other actress
could lose so much money and feel it so

Restoring Faded Ink.

A valuable discovery has been recent
ly made, whereby the faded ink on old
parchmcnts may be SO restored AS to
render the writing perfectly legible.
The process consists in moistening the
paper with water. and then passing
over the lines in writing brush which
has been dipped in a solution of sui
phide of ammonia. The writing will
Immediately appear quite dark in color,
and this color. in the case of parch-
ment, it will preserve. Records which
were treated in this way in the German
ic Museum in Nuremhurg ten years ago
are still in the same condition rs i'm
mediately after the application of the
process. On paper, however. the color
gradually fades again: but it may be
restored at pleasure by the application
of the sulphde. The explanation of
the action of this substance is very SIM
pie: the iron which enters into the COM
position of the ink is transformed by
the reaction into the black sulphide.

The Bushel Value of Love.

What is lover Love is keeping ten
dollar family on a six dollar salary.
When young man kisses u girl and
calls it heaven, it shows plainly that he
doesn't know any more about heaven
than a gosling knows about Beethoveu't
9onataS.
Love is like beer, it gets flat when il
is uncorkcd all the time.
Some girls can't tell the difference be-
tween love and taily.
A baby is love materialized.
Whenever love has to play second i'd
die, it is time to break up the band.
Love will make man spit on his
hands and take another hold when ev-
cry other power on earth has backed
out and given it up as a bad job.
Love is worth two dollars and hall
bushel to any man or woman living.
49, The Drummer
