Catering to Hobbies.

A plainly but richly dressed gentle
man, of prepossessing appearance and
quiet, unassuming manners, boarded a
New York train the other evening. He
was recognized by reporter as one of
the best known and best paid "drum-
mers" in the country. There was some
thing in his appearance that was not
familiar, however. The inevitable ac-
compartments of one of his class, the
silk skull-cap and the '.grip-sack, :"
were missing. In their place he had a
formidable bundle of newspapers and
magazines.

the reporter of his friend, as he sat down.
"No"
"Going to become an editorP''
No; I'm still in the old line, selling
clothing for the million at prices utter
ly beyond competition.
n"What in the world are you doing

every week, and great n..ny more not

as many papers each week, in all prob
ability, as does the editor of any daily

when went into the business of
commercial traveller intended to make
success Of it. i made up my mind to
master the business. so that / could not
only get, but keep, customers. This
was score of years ago. I noticed that
customer was more pleased to meet a
drummer who could talk intellieently
upon some subject in which he was in
terested than one whose merits, outsi le
his sample trunk, consisted of his ability
to tell good story and to buy unlim-
tied cigars and drinks. So began to
read. The daily papers gave me SUI
perficial knowledge of everything, and
/ read both sides politically. The news
papers of those days didn't treat mat
ters so fully or intelligently as they do
to-day. Consequently supplemented
the information got there by reading
weekly papers or well-conducted month
ly publications and quarterlies which
treated special topics exhaustively. i
had both European and American poll
tics, and social, sectional, religious, fin
ancial and hundred other topics at my
fingers and tongues ends. If had a
customer in view l found out his pc
culiar hobby, called on him and talked
with him about his hob y. That pleased
him. He became good fly for this
very greedy spider. OF course, didn't
forget to mingle with my specially as
heavy man the low comedy element
that Is, the storytelling and joke-crack-
ing. Nor did / neglect the social part
of my duties-that's what wecall cigars
and drinks. The scheme worked ad-
.mirably and paid well. L got new Gus

Among the most recent inventions

The exceedingly delicate photo
graphs (coiored) on glass, which have
come lately into fashion, are produced
by fixing a paper photograph upon a
cushion-shaped glass with transparent
cement, and when it is dry rubbing
away two-thirds of the photograph with
sand-paper. The thin film left is then
rendered transparent by soaking in
melted paratfine wax, after which
transparent colors are applied, which
appear softened down when looked at
from the front The background and
heavier portions of the picture are then
painted in body color upon the face of
another cushion-shaped piece of glass,
which is afterward fixed behind the first
one. "iaa-

Says ones This child was born with
b proclivity Nr theft, for falsehood, for
anger, and can these original tenden-
cies be taken out of himp" Perhaps
not entirely, but right alongside these
evil tendencies may be planted germs
of principle, of impulse and action that
shall by proper cultivation develop and
overshadow and neutralize the evil ten
dencies. A gr at ambition win lift q
man out of thousand narrownessess
and meannesses. A great love will
consume in its fire the roots even of sell
fishness. Acquisitiveness may be
checked by the cultivation of benevo-
lcnce: exact conformity of words to
facts may be taught in great variety
of ways; and rs failure to speak the
exact truth is the commonest vice of
childhood (and Of all morally weak
persons) it may be we'll to enlarge here
on methods of teaching children to
speak the truth. In the first place, the
parent must set the example. If there
are degrees in wickedness, it is more
wicked to lie to child than to an adult,
yet many parents constantly deceive
and prevaricate when dealing with
tl.e.r children. In the second place,
the first and smallest departure from
the truth in the child must be noticed
aud corrected, gently, kindly and from
high moral conviction. The child
should never be driven to tell an un-
truth by fear, and should in every case
be made to know that his untruths do
not in the least deceive. Learning to
read with perfect accuracy will help a
child tell the exact truth, be ause it will
form in him the habit of calling words
what they are, and train him In observ-
ing distinctions between things that are
different, and between things that are
similar but not identical. Teachers will
observe that children who are careful to
speak the truth are always better read
ers and better scholars than those whose
word can not be depended on. Hold
ing children to hi Oh standard of reci-
tation in their various studies aids in
forming the habit of veracity. /,
1t Is only by the utmost painstaking,
continued day after day and year after
year, that great virtues grow from lit
tie seeds and great vices are choked,
little by little, till they are finally ex-
tirpated: How long the labor, but how
noble the reward! s'He that goeth
forth and weepeth, bearing precious
seed, shall doubtless come again with
rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with
him. IN Y. Tribune

Drawing the Line ut Snuff.

Mr.. C. o. Keach, of Johnston, has
separated from his wife under singular
circumstances. Mr.. Reach Is about
sixty-two years old. and at least twice
the age of his wife, who is fine-look-
ing woman. Mr.. Reach has never used
liquor, coffee, tea or tobacco in any
form during his lifetime, with the ex-
ception that he once took a swallow of
tea in New York State, but it made him
perspire so profusely that he never re-
peated the experiment. He used to be
very sensitive to the odor of tea, and
could not bear to be in room when
tea was being poured out though he
says that he has allowed his present
wife to drink tea and coffee. 1t seems,
however, that the lady also uses snuff,
and Mr.. Keach, on discovering the fact
several months ago, gave her notice
that any persistence in the habit would
bring about separation. Finding, a few
days ago. that she continued the use Of
the snuff-box. he took her into the city
to the residence of relative, and there
left her, saving that no woman could
live with him who used snuff. The af-
fair has caused no little talk in John
ston, and the general sympathy Is with
the lady.-houidenc Journal

The Growing Child.

The discussion of the formation and
development of character can not be
otherwise than interesting TO the
earnest mothers who turn to this col
umn, and who must daily have this
question in their own minds while
bringing up their families None
more than they feel the need of wisdom
to direct, of patience to labor untiringly
and to wait, of well-balanced Judgment
and imp partial dec sion in the duties and
responsibilities resting upon them. So
we offer no apology for presenting a
few thoughts on subject, trite indeed,
but in the nature of things as fresh as
each days need and incapable of being
worn out Are we not all childrenp
Are not the most ''grown up" OF us still
forming and developing characterp
Still trying TO "walk by the same rule
and mind the same thing" as when our
feet first sought the paths of virtue.
Must we not still keep "ohiseling away
to keep the fine lines fine," to keep the
inscr ptions on our souls clear cut and
clean from the MOSES that custom and
carelessness cause to grow over them?
We all know that the man who habit
ually and from principle speaks the
truth believes that there may be truth
speaking people in the world beside
himself The student of human nature
at once writes down one who is always
accusing others of falsehood as incapa-
BILE himself of adhering to the truth;
one who Is always suspecting the purity
of others Is himself impure. The hon
est man believes other men may be
honest, while the thief doubts every-
body. And this principle applies to
every one of the virtues and vices. We
are always ready to believe of others
what we know to be true OF ourselves.
The liar will find excuses for his living,
the thief for stealing, and even the muir
derer thinks his crime ought to be con-
doned. No sooner has a man entered
upon an evil course than he tries to ex-
cuse or justify himself, or palliate his
misdoing. After time his conscience
becomes scared, and he rests easy in
opinions that are conformed to his char
acter.
A child that is taught and trained to
tell the truth, to keep the Sabbath, to
refrain from taking things that do not
belong to him, to render unquestioning
and ready obedience to his parents, rev.
erencc to the name and worship of God,
will have very positive opinions con-
cerning the right and wrong of these
things. He can't help himself. His
character forms his opinions. "Even a
child is known by his doings, whether
his work be pure, and whether it be
right" just here comes in the work
of the father and mother, the teacher,
the guardian. Many parents say, 20,
hope when John grows up he'll see
the right way and come out all
straight" But when John. grows up,
his character be will formed. and he win
see the moral truth in the light Of his
