in Italy as will soon place them in the van

eminently Methodist Churches, are social

The Cynic.

Texas Sifdngs.l
One Of the most disagreeable human be-
ings is the cynic who does not believe in
good or disinterested motives. He distrusts
everyone. He is skeptical as to the sinceri-
ty of ali men, and he believes that self inter.
est prompts al their actions.
Whenever you see one of these men, you
see one who ia 80 filled with selfshness that
there is not room enough inside him for it
and for all the egoiism he tries to carry,
and YOU will see it oozing out of him at
every pore. These two attributes crowd his
soul into small compass, press on his
heart until there is not room for it to de
velop generous impulse, and take posses.
sion o. his mind until liberal or noble
thoughts cease to exist there.
He is liberal enough in one wsy-liberal
in unbeliefs-but q narrow-minded bigot IN
his beliefs. When he hears of some appar-
emily unselfish act, he begins hunting for q
selfish motive, and should he fail to find It.
he says: swell can not understand what
he does It for, but he must expect to bene-
fit by It somehow" Certainly, he can not
understand DISTINGUISHED act of kindness,
because all his own motives are prompted
by self interest. He knows Of no higher
motives.
The cyn;c is simply what he believes all
other men--who a<e not fools-to be. bis

Mr.. Harris Inf1rmity.

Yesterday a crowd of persons stood
before the counter in an East Side store
in which an auctioneer was selling of
the goods to the highest bidder.
The auctioneer was offering some
silver spoons, when a man wearing an
alpaca coat and straw hat came in and
took a seat on box of palm-leaf fans.
Who'll start these spoons? Who'll
take them at three dollars? Say two
and a half, them" cried the auctioneer,
turning from one to the other of the
persons in front of him until his eye
rested on that of the man on the box.
100 an 'alf, 90 an 'alf. Here we are.
What's your name, please? Fine bar
gains?"
Harris" replied the man on the box.
"Harris, L. b. 81; .s.
"T. B. Harris" repeated the auc-
tioneer to his clerk. ''Half a dozen
spoons at two dollars and half"
Now, gentlemen, here are some fine
watch chains. Gold plated, heavy roll
plate. Who will give me two dollars to
begin? I'm offered only-Ah, all right.
I. b. Harris, one gold chain"
Mr.. Harris had nodded.
The clerk told man to ask the pur-
chaser to step forward and claim his
lLAANAOo- OAlN hO0oSA.
I'm going TO offer some superior
shaving mugs, with brush combined.
Don't all speak at once. The ladies
must keep quiet and let each man get
his mug" spoke the auctioneer.
These are worth seventy-five cents
each" r..
No one made an offer. The auc-
tioneer looked at I. B. Harris and re-
ceived a wink. .-.
"Gents, I'm ashamed of you. Mr..
Harris, one shaving mug, seventy-five
cents" interrupted the auctioneer.
The clerk wrapped it up in tissue pa
per while he explained to a colored man
that Harris was not a puffer, but q bona
tide purchaser. ..
"Well, gentlemen, since you are all
careless about shaving you must be mar
ried. I'll now offer you an article that
should be in every household" (here the
auctioneer smiled audibly;) ''yes, gents.
in every household. Joe, bring on them
baby carriages"
The man on the box nodded, while
two women remarked: What fellows
them auctioneers is, anyway"
"One at a time, now, gentlemen.
This is a carriage that was made es-
pecially for David Davis, when he was
a baby, but it was too small. It's worth
fifteen dollars. Who'll give me seven?'
The man on the box nodded.
"Mir. Harris is n married man, see.
I. B. Harris, seven dollars. Step up to
the cashier, Mr.. Harris, and get your
baby carriage" said the auctiOneer, in
a jocose tone.
Il didn't buy that carriage" said
Harris. ..
"What? You better say you didn't
buy the spoons and the chain and the
mug?" exclaimed the auctioneer, not
in a jocose tone.
mo, 1 didn't. never spoke. If a
man that's afflicted with ST. Vitus' dance
and blinking of the eyes that he was
born with can't come into an auction
room without being made a tool of when
he's trying his best to keep his head
from nodding and his eyes from blink
ing it's sad indeed" And he rose from
the box and went out into the world,
nodding his lead and blinking his eyes
at all whom he met--M T. World.

Vegetable spores I'm the Air.

Or. Foote'S Health Monthly.
\ French observer of atmospheric
conditions. Mr.. Nj p. MIGUEL, has been
endeavOring TO discover the ratio of
germs, spores or seeds of fungi Glow
forms of the vegetable kingdom) in the
air ut different seasons, and under
varying conditions. He finds. as we
might reasonably suppose he would,
that there are more such floating seeds
IN the air in summer than in winter
the maximum period being in June,
and the minimum in December. In
June there are. according 10 his obser-
vations, about 300 spores to the cubic
foot Of the air and in December only
about 200. lie found that heavy rain
puriiies the air for only short time,
and within twenty-four hours the
spores became much more numerous
than before. He remarks that ait is
Impossible to suppose that 800, 900
spores can be introduced by the act of
respiration into our bodies every day
without some being of noxious charac-
ter Doubtless some of these count
less thousands of spores are the exciting
cause of hayfever, others of consump-
ton, diphtheria, or of epidemic in
fluen2aS, etc; but probably the most Of
them are rs harmless to us as the many
minute forms Of marine animals and
plants with whieh we necessarily come
in contact in sea-bathing, and whether
they are harmless or not depends much
upon the individual and his suscepti-
bility to their various influences. If
ones blood offers no appropriate soil
for their development they fall inert
upon him rs seeds in stony ground.
Furthermore, the number and char
acter of atmospheric spores depends to
a very great extent on locality, climate
and the character of the soil or earth.
The reason subjects of hay-fever can
often find regions where the wicked
(spOres) cease from troubling" is sim
ply because there are places where the
hayfever spores do not exist. Every
form of vegetable life mas its habitat,
and naturally there are places where it
will not thrive; and as there are re-
gions where all large forms of vegeta-
tion are scant, so, doubtless, there may
be many localities where the air is al
most free from all of the minute spores
of the lower forms of vegetable life.
NJ. MIGUEL therefore suggests that
everywhere 9roscOpeS should be en-
ployed to observe and record the num-
Der and kind of spores that abound, as
weather stations are for the Observa-
tions of wind, rain, etc.

Prohibition IN Maine.

The Portland Advertiser plints the
following important testimony con-
cernjng the working of the prohibitory
liquor law in that state.
Count Grippenhurg, during a recent
visit Of attorney General Emory to the
Cmbria (the Russian ship in South
west Harbor Maine said:
1--WE are very much pleased indeed
with the workings of your Maine Law.
We never saw or heard of anything so
wonderful. Why, we send our men on
shore with the utmost freedom and
they are orderly and well-behaved;
they make friends TO the natives and
come back to Us at night all right. We
are glad to have them 90 on shore, for
the exercise and recreation they obtain
there are very much to their advant-
age. Now, if liquor were sold we
should be obliged to keep them on
board all the time, otherwise they
would become intoxicated, get into
trouble among themselves and with the
inhabitants, destroy property, insult
your people, and make them all their
enemies. Oh! assure you we are very
much pleased with your Maine Law
