The GROWTH OF CHARAcTER.-
Many people seem to forget that char
acter grows; that it is not something
to put on ready-made with womanhood
Or manhood; but day by day, here a
little and there a little, it grows with
the growth, and strengthens with the
strength, until, good or bad, it becomes
almost a coat of mail. Look at a
man of business-prompt, reliable,
conscientious, yet clear-headed and en-
ergetic. When he was boy! Let
us see how a boy of ten years gets up
in the morning, works, plays, studies,
and we will tell you just what kind Of
man he will make. The boy that is
too late at breakfast and late at school,
stands a poor chance to be a prompt
man. The boy who neglects his du-
ties, be they ever so small, and then
excuses himself by saying, 81 forgot,
don't think !" will never be q reliable
man, and the boy who finds pleasure in
the suffering of weaker things, will
never he a noble, generous, kind man,
"a gentleman.

Collecting a Dividend.

In the early days of railroading in
Missouri u siy-ioot stranger, with n bad
look in his eye, Que day entered sta
ton on the line of the Blank and Dash
Road pulled out ten shares Of stock in
the company, and inquired of the sta
ton master it there were any dividends
on the stock.
Never heard of any was the reply.
didn't anybody ever try to collect
dividend!'
III they did they didn't get anything
This stock ought to pay 10 per
cent, continued the stranger. Here's
n $1,000. Ten per cent n year would
he 500. I've held these shcers three
months, which would be Sl5. Pard-
ner, want my divy'
But Pvo nothing to do with It'll
must go to st. Louis
TOO fur away! I'm going to COL
lect here and save time! Pilgrim,
count out my dizzy"
The above peroration was followed
by the sight of six-shooter and an
expression which meant business, and
the agent didn't consume three minutes
counting out the money, which the
stranger took and walked out with the
remark that he never invested in any
stock paying less than 10 per cent, and
didn't believe in cumulative dividends.
This was the only dividend paid by
that road for thirteen years, and the
agent on salary ofs4O per mo nth had

and Green countless and elsewhere Throughout,
looked for with interest. There was, at the
election of 1890, 3,17i Republican majority in
the district. which shrank 10 .922 at the State
election IN 1881. The margin seems large
one and sufficient to secure a Republican under
any circumstances But the loss of 1000 tenn.
the counties composing the district, and q
change of big fraction of the German Re
publican votes would make trouble.
A strong feature OF the canvass recently
developed is the fact that the Prohibitionists
are very anxious for the Democrats to nomi
nate prominent temperance Democrat. In
case the Democrats make such a nomination
the Prohibitionists will hold convention and
make him their nominee, also. This idea is
receiving no small amount of attention from
the Democrats. OF course they understand
that by doing this they will lose good many
German votes, but the Prohibitionists tell
them that their strength in the district is much
greater than that of the Germans as they
gave, in Dane, Grant, Green, Lafayette and
Iowa $500 votes last fall. If q Democratic
and temperance alliance is not formed. sep
crate TEN perance candidate will be certainly
in the field.
Here is the only part of the dis.
trict where the running of tenn
perance candidate seems to be con-
sidered. The question that the
Prohibitionists hope for the nomi-
nation of a prominent temperance
Democrat will provoke a smile
Such nominee would receive about
as many Democratic votes as Ka-
mouse did in the same counties last
fall. They might properly be count
ed as scattering"

A New HAMPSHIRE man who lost
his legs in a railroad accident few
weeks ago complained, after the legs
were buried, that his toes panied
him a great deal. The undertaken
unearthed the limbs, found the toes
badly cramped, Strengthened them,
and the man suffered no more from
this cause. The undertaken seems
to have had much experience with
severed limbs, and on doubt being
expressed as 10 the possibility of a
man being affected by The position
of an amputated limb, he unlocked
the store-house of his memory and
told several wonderful stories. One
man who lost an arm suffered be-
cause the member-a mile away at
the undertaker's-was in an unnat-
ural position. A friend went to the
undertaken, who turned the arm, and
the patient became easy at once. 1t
is widely believed that this sort of
thing is of frequent occurrence, and
few men hesitate to dig up an ampu-
tated limb in the expectation of re-
lieving the discomfort of its former
owner. The explanation of the pain
which the patient believes is from
the aml'utated member is simple,
and of the relief patients feel after
the manipulation simpler still-this
is, there is no such relief, save where
the Imagination is impressed. The
nerves which convey impressions
from toe to the sensorium will, if
touched in any part above the toe,
give the impression that the irrita
ton is at the extremity. All such
stories as these from New Hampshire
are entertaining, but they are also as
absurd as the stories about the hair
changing from black to white in a
single night.-M Republican.

A GooDLY portion of the ancient
city of Alexandria is in ruins, the
result jointly of the shells from the
British fleet and the torch of the
Bedouin Arabs, to whom it was
abandoned by the Egyptian authori-
ties and troops. Not only did these
pillaging sayages plumber and burn
the town, but mercilessly mastered
all the Europeans and Christians
they could find, hundreds of them
in number
And now the British operations in
Egypt change from the navy to the
army, Arab Bey, at the head of
his forces, has retreated from Alex
andria into the interior of the coun-
try, and thither the British will pres,
emily march and give battle. 1t is
safe to predict that England will
discover very soon that her war in
Egypt has but fairly begun, instead
of being ended, with the capture of
Alexandria.
