Rhode Island No Place for Polite Studies

Rhode Island No Place for Polite Studies
Mrs. Apphia Howard relates in the
Providence Press that when Prof Geo.
w. Greene, whose death has just been
announced, returned from Europe years
ago he went to visit II. w. Longfellow
at Cambridge, and was introduced by
Prof. FELTON, to Josiah Quincy, who was
then President of Harvard College. Mr..
Quincy inquired what Mr.. Greene had
been doing while abroad.
Pursuing my studies,'' was the re-
ply:
"What were your studicsP' continued
the President.
Mr.. Greene hesitated moment, and
replied:
'Polite literature.
':And pray, Mr.. Greene loftily in
quired Mr.. Quincy, '.what do you intend
to to, do with your ~, polite literature in
''There spoke Massachusetts," cried
Longfellow, while FELTON, and the others
roared with merriment.
In rehearsing the story, afterward,
Prof. FELTON, always declared that he
never could tell which was the most
comical, the serene Inconsistencies Of
the President that he had said anything
out of order, or the overpowering sur
prise of Greene at the fact that any hui
man being had asked him, native born
Rhode Islander, such question.

CAREFUL WITH HIS CLOTHES.
An Austin journalist put in an ap-
pearance at the inaugural ball. There
was mixed mob there, it is true, but
the journalists coat was so shabby that
one Of the committee whispered in his
ear:
Haven't you got another coat at
homeP''
eyes, I have another one.''
"Why didn't you put it on?''
Because it amt near as good as this
one.''

A Funny Mistake.

Some time ago an editor had what was
called "a cystic tumor' in his throat,
and one OF his contemporaries stated
that "Mr. Blank is suffering from q
sciatic tumor on his neck" Of course
this was an error; but a greater error
is the mistaken idea that prevails among
some people that sciatic pains cannot be
cured. Not only those pains, but Rheu-
matism, will yield to the action OF Sal
icylica, one OF the most reliable remedies
of modern times.

siderable bill, and with an air of deep
detection, called for a toddy. After
drinking it he remarked to the bar
keeper:
"Don't you feel sorry that l was de-
feated yesterday -
"Not a blamed bit" replied the vi
vacious saloon-keeper.
''But, don't you see, if had been

the saloon keeper, "but if you had

''Great Heavens! Can this be
true? Alas, too late l have discover.

Sweet Minded Women.

So great is the influence of sweet
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. 1t is to her
that friends come ir season of sorrow
and sickness and for help and comfort;
one soothing touch of her kindly hand
works wonders in the feverish child
few words let fall from her lips in the
ear of sorrowing sister do much to
raise the load of grief that is bowing
its victim down to the dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out
with the pressure of business, and feel
ing irritable with the world in general
but wher he enters the cosy sitting
room, and sees the blaze of the bright
FIRE, aud meets his wife's smiling face,
succumbs in moment to the soothing
influences which act as the Balm of
Gilead to his spirits. We all are weak
with combating with the stern realities
of life. The rough school boy flies in
rage from the taunts of his compan-
ions to find solace in his mothers
smile the little one, full of grief with
its own large trouble, finds heaven of
rest on its mothers breast and so one
might go on with instances of the in.
fluence that sweet minded woman
has in the social life with which she is
connected. Beauty is an Insignificant
power when compared with hers -Es.

so for in the city of Panama there is
not to be found lightning rod. There
