The Elements of Gentility.

A man may be a gentleman in appear
ence, in manner or in feeling, or in all
three. If he fulfills either condition he
has title to the name. If he fulfill all
of them he will be so fine a creature
that the name can do him no good, and
if his right to it is questioned it will not
disturb him.
Appearance is largely matter of at.
tire, which is to be bought for money;
but it depends, too, upon the taste, which
is much more difficult to purchase, and
upon natural gifts, which cannot be
bought.
Good manners are either disguise OF
they are the outward evidence of good
disposition. They may be acquired, but
it is not easy to buy them, though their
absence is readily pardoned in persons
who are very rich, very good, intelligent
or eminently powerful from any cause.
A man who has the feelings of gen.
tleman is usually born with them. TIC
him they are instincts by which he will
regulate his behavior in circumstances
where neither his experience nor his
reason can guide him. But they may
be acquired most readily by associatine
with persons who already possess them
and they are fostered by decent living.
A gentleman will have, first of all
self-respect. He will fear self-condem
nation more than anything else, except
perhaps, for different reason-selt
praise.
And, as he respects himself as mar
and exacts decent treatment of himself
so will he also respect other men as men
and use them accordingly.

Microscopic MarYels,

Crofut, the New York correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune thus describes
the display at Lyric Hall, where forty
eight microscopical subjects were on ex-
hibiIiOn:
A section of human scalp about as
large as pin-head looked like a map OF
the Grecian archipelago. The islands
were painted green and the intervening
canals red, and iberty-pole stood up
on rocky peninsula and disappeared in
the clouds. This, the exhibitor said,
was hair
The bacillus tuberculosis, the monster
that burrows in the lungs and causes con-
sumption, was said to be 1-6S, 900 of an
inch long. 1t looked like the air-cushion
that Peter Cooper sits down on.

log in two at clip.

a trout's egg and formenifera. The

two miles and half in the South Allan.
tic Ocean, had somewhat the appearance
of four-leafed clover; while the former
arranged itself symmetrically, like pan
cakes orginger-snaps waiting to be eaten.
Trichine, in pork, resembled gold
knotholes in the side of cedar-barn
but the more aged specimens looked like
those iron rings that are used for quoits,
with holes to put your thumb through.
A bit of quartz crystal looked like an
exhibition of fireworks on Staten Island
-petrified pyrotechnics, as it were.

he Wouldn't Quit, "Oause He'd Done
(tuit.n

A fresh cOuntryman came to Atlanta
a short time since to get situation on
some of the many railroads centering
here. He gained admittance soon after
his arrival, and commenced the follow
ing conversation with railroad official:
II want to get some work on the rail-
road"
what can you do?" said the railroad
man.
"Oh, most anything"
"Can you run q locomotivep"
"a loco-what?" inquisitively asked
the countryman.
San engine, 1 mean"
"Well, can't say l can, hut I have
rid on 'em and could mighty soon
know how
1--WE have no time to learn you. Prob
ably you can lay track. Have you
ever tried that?'
II can't say that can"
The railroad man studied while, and
remarked: 81 don't think you know
much about railroad business, but if
you want place just for the name of it,
You can report to Mr.. - and he will
tCll Jou W udO W w. IL WILL pay YOU
$40 per week when you learn to do the
work"
The countryman was delighted; the
wages were as large as he expected, ana
he hurried off to hunt the man he was to
report to.
About three days after this converse
ton the countryman came back to the
railroad official. His right hand was in
a sling, his left hand was black and
blue, and ought to have been wrapped
W. He was dragging his left leg be-
hind him as he walked, and piece of
his ear was gone, and the left side of his
face was a solid scratch Altogether he
looked as if he had been through q
thrashing machine. He inquired mourn
fully if he could get pass ticket to
Lincolnton.
''You are not going to quit?" asked
the railroad man.
"No, l amt gwine to quit, cause I've
done quit. l want to go home. This
business don't suit me. If / stay here a
week | won't be able to git home. I'm

A Lowers OATEOHIsN.
A Comparison of Conditions Imposed BY .
Young Man and . Manageable
Young Woman.

A Young man of this city, says the
Detroit Post and Tribune, who possesses
large share of presumption, has heen
paving close attention to very pretty
girl, who has given him no evidence Of
her feelings concerning him until very
recently. The denouement was brought
about in this way: He had decided to
make her formal offer of his hand and
heart-an he was worth-and then he
hoped to be INDUCED in some loverlike
demonstrations, the young lady so far
being coolly Indifferent in her manner
to him. He attributed this to maidenly
reserve, for it never occurred to him
that she was not in love with him. He
cautiously prefaced his declaration with
few questions.
Did She love him well enough to live
in cottage with him? Was she good
cook and bottle-washerP Did she think
it wife's duty to make home happy?
Would she consult his tastes and wishes
concerning her associates and pursuits
in life? Was she economical? Could
she make her own clothes, etc.?
The young lady said that before she
answered his questions she would assure
him of some negative virtues she posses
sed. She never drank, smoked or chew
ed; never owed a bill to her laundry or
tailor; never staid out all night playing
billiards; never lounged on the street
corner and ogled giddy girls; never
stood in with the boys for cigars and
wine suppers:
"Now,n said she, rising Indignantly,
81 am assured by those who know that
you do all those things, and it is rather
absurd for you to expect all the virtues
in me while you do not possess any of
them yourself. l can never be you
wife, :" and she bowed him out and left
him standing on the cold door step, =

A Leading Ohio Editor on the Prospects
of Florida.

Upon rejecting upon what Ihad hith-
erto seen of Florida, its new birth
with new people, new ideas, increased
capital, new productions, rapidly ex-
banding enterprise, its wonderful navi-
gable resources, hteriorly and coastwise,
its salubrious climate, and the immense
work of the Disston and Okeechobee
companies, was profoundly impressed
that a splendid future for Florida is
dawning. She is destined to be the
most productive and richest, if not the
most populous, State of the South, the
poor man s paradise and the rich mans
Elysium. / venture this prediction in
the face of all the discounts can mag
inc; the disinclination of all Northern
people to emigrate below the lines of
their nativity; the large area of swamp
lands that can never be reclaimed; the
liability of malarial diseases in reclaimed
territory, and the possibility of impair
ing the navigability of the lakes by deep
artificial bitches for the duplex purpose
of drainage and navigation. / have
not permitted fancy to run riot over
the peculiar destinations of a summer
land in winter, embellished with glitter
ing groves of fruits and flowers which
chase each other in unbroken circles
through the year, but have penetrated
the barren pine lands; run into the ap-
parently hopeless sand lots; recoiled
from almost boundless morasses, as dis
NAL as Dante's Inferno; shaken with
ague, wrestled with mosquitoes, and in
fancy fed in wild dismay from the hide

1t can hardly be questioned that the
best lands of Florida already developed
and to be redeemed by drainage, will
produce three-fold more than those of
ordinary northern farm land, or Louisi-
ana sugar land, with less labor and ex-
pense. They will produce about every
thing cultivated in the temperate zone
excepting wheat; and communication
with our bread regions is so cheap that
flour is only q trifie more expensive at
Jacksonville than in Dayton. The best

Entrance at Sunrise; Exit at Sunset.

AS an example Of the extent of the
fenced acres in the Territory, your cor

men in the Indian Territory on hunt

eastern gates of pasture field at s
o'clock in the morning, and travelling
westward during the day, passed through
one of the western gates at o'clock in

OUR BoYHOOD TOYS.
What the Youngsters Of the Last Genera
ton Amused Themselves With.

The boys of today would have very
poor opinion of the toys that amused us
when we were young We can hardly
find any of the old-time toys for sale in
this luxurious age. Our children would
doubtless turn up heir noses at the
primitive toys that amused their faith
ers-the Noah's ark, with its painted
windows and red roof that lifted up with
a hinge; old Noah, with blue coat and
a tendency to tumble down and damage
his wooden features, and his wife, with
green legs and figure built on the
churn pattern-we used to knock them
in endwise through the roof, and drop
them down into the cellar with the ele-
plant, the COW and the kangaroo, and
fasten them all up securely by locking
the roof with piece of wire. And then
there was the wooden sheep with wool
glued on his back, and the pasteboard
cat, and the spotted china dog, and the
tin cow with the wooden tail, and the
horse that was mounted on wheels; how
constantly they became unglued and how
rapidly they tottered into old age and
decrepitude; but We enjoyed the possess
sion of these monstrosities. and thought
them the perfection of human ingenuity.
We treasured these caricatures OF the
animal kingdom, and we honestly be-
lieve that we got great deal more en-
ioyment out Of them than the children
of to-day get out of the modern toys that
work by steam and electricity, and that
are constructed with some consideration
for natural appearance.
The little fiat books that had pictures
in red and yellow and green, of A was
Notwithstanding, and B was
a something or other that did something
else equally absurd. What treasures
this linen-paged literature seemed to our
unsophisticated minds, and it exasper-
ates us to see the calm indifference with
which our children treat the finest spe-
cimens of the photographer and wood
engraver's art that appear in the many
publications now specially prepared for
the young folks. This is an age of
progress and luxury, but we question
whether boy can get more fun out of
the self cooking toy-pistol, that carries a
real ball and cartridge, and will burst
and blow all his fingers off, than his
predecessors got out of the primitive
pop-gun, that discharged nothing more
dangerous than a paper wad.

The Mechanical Engineer tells a
strange story of the effect produced on a
wrought iron forging by human hair.
The forging was in a powerful cold
press for finishing the forging after it is
shaped. 1t was put between two hard
ened steel dies and subjected to pres.
sure of 200 tons to the square inch. A
hair was taken from the head of by
stander, placed on the face of the forg-
ing, and the pressure applied. The
result was that the hair was driven into
the forging and imbedded in it, the hair
itself remaining uninjured, and being
removed intact. If everybody's hair is
as unyielding as that, how are we to
account for various things that we see
and feel?
