When Dignity Works All Right.

Col. Ingersol said at Omaha that he
hated dignifed man and that he never
knew one who had particle of sense;
that such men never learned and were
constantly forgetting something.
Josh Billings says that gravity is no
more the sign of mental strength than
q paper collar is the evidence of shirt.
This leads us to say that the man
who ranks as dignitied snoozer and
banks on winning wealth ard a death
less name through this one source of
strength, is in the most unenviable posi-
ton of any one we know. Dignity does
not draw. It answers in place Of intel
lectual tone for twenty minutes, but af-
ter awhile it fails to get there. Dignity
works all right III a wooden Indian or a
drum major, but the man who desires
to draw salary through life and to he
sure of visible means of support, will
do we'll to make some other provisions
than q naughty look and the air of pa
tronage. Col. Ingersol may be wrong
in the matter of future punishment, but
his head is pretty level on the dignity
question. Dignity works all right with
d Ildu WHO Is WOTbI ul1illOn uOllarS
and has some doubts about his suspen-
ders, but the man who is to get
large sum of money before he dies, and
get married and accomplish some good,
must place himself before his fellow
men in the attitude of one who has ideas
that are not too lonely and isolated.
Let us therefore aim higher than SIM
ply to appear cold and austere. Let us
study to aid in the advancement of hui
mainly and the increase of baled infor-
nation. Let us struggle to advance
and improve the world, even though in
doing so We may get into ungraceful
positions, and at times look otherwise
than pretty. Thus we shall get over
the ground, and though we may not
do it in the eccentric style Of tie

fore, and we will have camped and eaten

GRANDPA.

The grandpa is an Individual. AGED
somewhere between so and 100 wears.
OF promiscuous temperament, and is a
common occurrence in all welI-raon-
lated families. Next to a healthy
1mother-ln-law, they have more active
business on hand than any other party
IN the household. They are the stand

what they don't know about things
tnat took place sixty-ive years ago, or
Will take place for the next sixty-five
years to come, is damage for any man
TO know. Grandpas are not entirely
useless; they are handy to hold the
babies and feed the pigs, and are very
smart at mending broken broom-han-
die, and sitting ccal ashes, and are good
at putting up clothes-lines on washing
days. [ have seen grandpas that could

in his right mind, Josh Billings won't

are set Of conceited old fools who
don't seem to realize that what they
know themselves is a result of exper-
lence, and that younger people have
got to get their knowledge in the same
way. Grandpas are poor help at bring

A Monster Mountain of Clay in Montana.

We roll onward through the midst of
the grotesque and picturesque buttes
for hours; and their broken, Jagged
walls and towering peaks stood out
against the clear sky on either side to
the line of the horizon. Suddenly, On
our left, broad stretch of beautiful
grassy valley appeared, sweeping away
about q mile, gently curving upwards
to the very base of one of the grandest
and largest buttes of all, which rises
abruptly from the level plain to o
height of nearly 500 feet. This mon
ster mound stretches along parallel
with the railroad for q long distance.
It's spine is broken by one large en-
brasure or pass, separating a small por-
ton of it from the main body. It's bald
and barren heights are bleached by the
awful wintry tempeSts, and on its scar
red and rugged bosom is inscribed the
epitaph OF departed ages. To it great
cycles are bpt days, and centuries but
swift hours of time. But even now,
among the "hills, rock-ribbed and an
cient as the sun, and the wales stretch
ing in pensiye qlietness between" the
joyful voice of man and busy hum of
labor awake the torpid echoes of the
past, which erst knew no sound but ma
lures wild. This monster clay noun
tain stands on the very border of Da-
kota, and marks the line of Montana.
This is the great Sentinel buttes. -

A Unsuitable Homicide.

Patrick Mulcahy, son of the Emer-
aid Isle, was before Justice Ingersoll,
charged by Philip Mousaucker, cor
pulent Teuton, with entering the lat
ter's yard and shooting his dog.
Patrick, did you shoot this mans
dog?" asked the justice.
Faith, [ did, yer honor, but I want
that Dutchman to prove the charge"
"But you acknowledge it," argued
j. P.
lido not, that. did shoos the dog,
but I deny the charge until it is
proved"
What was your dog worth 7" asked
the perpls1ed justise of Mousaucker.

''Then what do you want done with
this man you have had arrested?" was
asked.
"Vat I want done nit him? I Just
wants to make him bay de value of dat

This confused the justice more than
ever. He declared the case was toe
intricate for him to try, and referred il
to Capt. O,Donnell. That official said
he thought it was "a justifable homi-
eide" and the prisoner was discharged.

LeatherOid Cans and Boxes.

Leatheroid is a new article which is
being made of paper. 1t consists of a
number of thicllnesses of cotton paper
wound one upon another over cylin-
der. The remarkable qualities of
strength and adhesion it possesses are
derived from a chemical bath through
which the paper is drawn on its way to
the cylinder. The effect of the chem
ical bath on the paper is said to be
wonderful. Leatheroid, for the pur-
poses it now serves, consists of about
twenty thicknesses Of paper; it is
shaped upon or around molds, while
wet, into the form it is to represent,
and will hold that form perpetually
when dry. When dried it is as difficult
as rawhide to cut with knife. Cans
made from this material are about one
fourth the weight of tin cans of equal
size; while tin cans are liable to get
bent, cans made from Ieatheroid are en-
tirely free from this objection. They
have the elasticity of thin steel, and no
amount Of kicking or handling will
break them.-BoSton Journal of
Chemistry.

Milk for the Mind.

DE- Clouston, of the Royal Edinburgh
Asylum for the Insane, says: "The
greater my experience becomes, [ tend
more to substitute milk for stimulants.
[ don't undervalue the latter in suitable
cases; but in the very acute cases, both
Of depression and maniacal eXaltation,
where the disordered working of the
brain tends rapidly to exhaust the
strength, l rely more and more on milk
and eggs made into liquid custards.
One such case this year got eight pints
OF milk and sixteen eggs every day for
three months, and under this treatment
recovered. l question whether he
would have done so under any other.
He was almost dead on admission, &C
tually delirious, absolutely sleepless,
and very nearly pulseless. It was a
hand-to-hand fight between the acute
disease in his brain and his general vi
tality. If his stomach could not have
digested and his body assimilated
enough suitable nonrishment, or if he
could not have been taken out freely in
the open air, he must have died. But to-
day he is fulfilling the duties of his DO
sition as well as he ever did in his life.
All acute mental diseases, like most
nervous diseases, tond to thinness of
body, and therefore all foods, and all
medicines, and all treatments that fat
ten are good. To my assistants, and
nurses, and patients preach the gospel
of fairness as the great antidote to the
exhausting tendencies Of the disease we
have to treat, and it would be well if all
people Of nervous constitution would
obey this gospel"

ESthetic COWbOyS.

Cowboys have their love of the beau
tiful in revolvers, if in nothing else.
This is apparent from an experience of
the Colts Arm Manufacturing Company.
Of Hartford. Two cowboys of Wyom-
ing asked for estimates of the cost of
tworeVolvers of elaborate workmanship.
The Hartford Post states that "from
the designs furnished the stock of each
revolver must be of pearl, a horse and
rider chased in gold on one side, and a
heavily-draped woman and birds, in the
same precise metal, on the other side.
The barrel and working parts of each
are also to be heavily chased and inlaid
with gold, so much so, in fact, that the
steel of the revolver is to be nearly hid
den from sight by the gold figures. The
butt of each revolver is to be of solid
silver, elegantly chased. At the least
calculation each revolver, made accord
ing to the designs furnished, but with
out the gold filling, would cost $62, and
with the gold filling, $500. The only
revolver ever made by the company in
any way similar to these designs was for
the founder of the company, Col. Sam
uel Colt. and was placed on exhibition
by him at the great London EXPOSE
ton"

DIR. Wild on Woman Suffrage,

This age is noted for women and
steam. The grandest question to-day is
whether to put women where God put
her, in paradise or not; whether to give
her the privilege of voting for the laws
to which she is subjected. It is ques-
ton that must be agitated until woman
must stand over against man as his
equal according to her status and posi-
ton. No government can much longer
keep her down. She has as much right
to vote for her own laws as I have. I
would sooner trust my own mother to
cast ballot than half hundred of the
politicians who drink and swear.
