Corn Gathering Song.

In general the negroes have greatly changed
since the war, for many of them have gone
to the cities and towns or have become smdli
farmerS; but on some OF the plantatlons Oh
the south, where no social innovations nave
been introduced, they are much the same; III
dress and peculiar characterstics, as lhey
were years ago when tile tap OF the over
seers bell was an order imperative. Ihese
people preserve their quaint trad1tlonS,mora
dialogues between animals, in which the RAD
bit is always the Socrates. They have song
for each kind Of work, whose author Is un,
known, but with whose words and tune all
are familiar The following is the corn dea cath Of
the effect with which it is rendered. ana tne
semi-weird tune, / am convinced, could not
be written by the most accomplished com-
poser:
Come er hitch up de wagin an dribe in de
Time fur ter gedder de con;

Nothing Doing on Top.

Here is an instance of good repartce.
They were two solid citizens. One was
bald, but rejoiced in fine luXuriant
beard The other had heavy growth
of hair on the head, but was very bald
as to his chin. The bald-chinned
citizen was a very talkative individual,
whose conversation was rapid and in
cessant. Meeting the bald,headcd
citizen one day in a company of gentle
men, he opened fire on him touching
the baroness of his sconee. ''What do
you suppose" said he, in his rafting,
vivacious way, "what do you suppose,
neighbor, is the reason that you have
no hair on your head, and SO much on
your chimp ''Well," said the other,
very deliberately, scientists say that
men who work with their brains create
such heat in the scalp that the hair is
worn off. ''That sounds like Il Likely
theory" chimed in the loquacious
citizen. eyes, it does" returned the
other, ''and think your case is str.k-
ing illustration OF its probability. Now
you have plenty of hair on your head,
but none ON your chin, which just
backs up the scientific theory, because
all your work is done with your jaws
there's nothing doing on top!"-

Sayings by DIR. Oliver Wendell
Holmes.

Memory is a net One finds it full
of fish when he takes it from the brook,
but dozen miles of water have run
through it without sticking.
God bless all good women. To their
soft hands and plying hearts We must
all come at last.
Put not your trust in money, but put
YOU money in trust.
When strong brain is weighed with
true heart it seems to be like
balancing bubble against wedge of
gold.
Controversy equalizes fools and wise
mon in the same Way-and the fools
know it.
If the sense of the ridiculous is one
side of an irrepressible nature, it is
very well; but if that is all there is in
a man he had better have been an ape
at once.
Travellers change their guineas, not
their characters.
There are three little wicks to the
lamp of mans life, brain, blood and
breath. Press the brain little, it's
light goes out, followed by both the
others. Stop tho heart a minute and
out go all three of the wicks. Choke
the air out of the lungs and presently
the fluid ceases to supply the other
centers of flame, and all is soon stag
nation, cold and darkness.
There are good many real miseries
in life that we cannot help smiling at,
but they are the smiles that make
wrinkles and not dimples.
We must have weak spot or two in
a character before we can love it much.
People who do not laugh or cry or take
more of anything than is good for
them, or use anything but dictionary
words, are admirable subjects for biog-
raphers. But we don't care most for
these fine pattern flowers that press
best in the herbarium.
Faith always implies disbelief of
lesser fact in favor of a greater.
| would have a woman as true as
death. At the first real lie, which
works from the heart outward, she
should be tenderly chloroformed into a
better world, where she can have an
angel for q governess and feed on
strange fruits which shall make her
all over again, even to her bones and
her marrow. {

Clara Morris Nerves.

ga friend of mine said Miss Clara
Morris the other day, remarked once
that carried my nerves on my sleeve,
so that everything touched. Well, one
cannot treat nerves as if they were gar
ment and hang them up until you need
them again. You must feel, or all the
pretty and pathetic language in the
world won't make other people feel.
One must cry themselves, and tears
alone won't do it. There must, as it
has been prettily said, be tears in ones
voice to bring ones hearers to tears.
Now never go on the stage but what
about O o'clock in the afternoon 1 begin
to suffer. My hands get cold as ice,
my face gets hot, and l am in nervous
tremor all because / am afraid won't
cry in the play. 1 spend an hour or
two with my company, making just as
much fun as l possibly can, SO as to
get all the laugh out of me. Then I
shut myself up and get up an artificial
agony. To do this think of some sad
incident or read a sad story. / get the
story fixed in my mind and look at the
most pathetic incident in it until my
feelings are thoroughly aroused, and
then I will cry the bo-hoos and the
whole thing is done. I only have to
look out for the other danger, and
keep from being overcome myself,
which is as bad as the other. All the
tremolo and false sobs in the world
will never take the place of real emo
ton. There must be real tears in eyes
and voice. Of course, after such an
effort I cannot throw the whole effect
off, and my poor nerves suffer-"

Novel Use of Greenbacks.

s'What becomes of all the greenbacks
and bank-notes after they have served
their few years of usefulness?" is q,
frequent query. A bank-note has its
life Just the same as all other things
useful, What an interesting story the
travels of greenback from the mo-
ment it leaves the press until it returns
to the macerating machine would
make The average life of bank-note
is about three years, perhaps Il little
longer. After serving its purpose as
currency it is metamorphosed into
rabbits, birds and other figures. The
process of the destruction of the notes
is an interesting one.
The readers will often see in the
daily papers a paragraph something
like this: National bank notes re-
ceived for redemption to-day, $780,
000." The next day those notes are
carried to the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing and placed in q machine
containing immense knives, which chop
the notes into fragments. The opera"
ton is conducted under the supervision
of three officers of the Treasury De-
partment, epecially detailed for this
business. No one is allowed to be
present at this daily maceration of the
notes except the officials and the men
who run the machine. They are COM
PEELED to remain in the room until
each separate note is destroyed. They
must account in detail afterwards to
the Redemption Bureau for each note;
and should one become lost or mislaid,
and afterwards find its way into cir
culation;:th result would be the i'm
mediate discharge of the three gentle
men who dali have in their custody
from $4,000 10 $4,000, 200 or So, 000,-
900 of notes and bonds. The shreds
are reduced to pulp, and then by a
patented process this mass is n .ded
into figures of birds and animals and
sold as menentoes to visitors. Often
it will happen that one little object
will be composed of what once was
800, 900, 900 worth of money. y.-Lfdrt-

Another st. Louis Girl.

A rich Chicago girl was visiting a
poor friend who was teaching school in
st. Louis, and the two girls were talk
ing over their respective situations in
life.
"You have to work very hard, don't
you?" asked the Chicago girl.
''Yes," was the answer, s'but find
great deal to interest and entertain
me-"

good time, and I enjoy it thoroughly

Physical Development.

Happening to be in Queenstown, Ire
land, one evening, many years ago, l
was invited to attend a grand ball on
the occasion of famous international
regatta. The number of ladies was
about $50. Their dress was like that
of American ladies on similar occasions
only a little more so--sleeves little
shorter, corsage a little lower. The
ladies were remarkably self-possessed,
quiet, and graceful, and / think, on the
whole, averaged prettier than | have
ever seen on another such occasion.
have written this to introduce the
physical development of Irish ladies.
The Irish girls in America have full
chests, large arms; they are plump and
vital.
When an American lady shows me
her arms-candle dips, No. 8, and asks:
How can | get such arms rs B:idg-
et's?n and | say, ''Work, work rs she
does, and you will have her arms, !"
then she says, ooh, that is not work,
it is climate! If had been brought up
in Bridgets climate | should have had
her fine bust; but this terrible dry air
takes all the juice out of us
My curiosity was on tiptoe to see how
Irish ladies brought up in this moist
even climate, but without work, would
| look | have said that there were 15O
ladies present, and that they were very
pretty and graceful, but now, taking
the witness stand, testify / have new
er in America seen $50 young women
together with arms so small or chests
so flat and thin. They belonged to the
idle class, and all the world over wo-
men of the idle class have spindle arms
and thin chests, unless they become
merely fat, which, with their weak
muscles, is a sad embarrassment.
Education, rank, aspiration, prayer
these will not produce strong, full,
muscular body. They are not the ap.
pointed means. Exercise, exercise
work, work this produces strong mus
cles, full chests and physical beauty.

crime. You have stolen q pair OF
boots! 1t is now incumbent upon me
to pronounce sentence upon youin pro-
portion to the enormity of your offense.
Had you deliberately taken the life of
your fellow man, II jury of your peers
would doubtless have found you inno-

Hints to Gentlemen.

Don't be untidy in anything. Neat
ness is one of the most important of
minor morals.
Don't wear apparel with decided col
ors or with pronounced patterns. Don't
we address here the male reader, for
whom this brochure is mainly designed
wear anything that is pretty. What
have men to do with pretty thingsf
Select quiet colors and unobtrusive pat
terms, and adopt no style of cutting
that belittles the figure. 1t is right
enough that mems apparel should be
becoming, that it should be graceful,
and that it should lend dignity to the
figure; but it should never be ornamen-
tai, fanciful, grotesque, odd, capricious
nor pretty.
Don't wear evening dress in the morn
ing, or on any occasion before 6o'clock
dinner. Don't wear black broadcloth
in the morning, or, at least, don't wear
black broadcloth trousers except for
evening dress.
Don't wear your hat cooked over
your eye, nor thrust back upon your
head. One method is rowdyish, the
other rustic.
Don't wear trinkets, shirt-pins, finger
rings, or anything that is solely orna-
mental. One may wear shirt-studs, q
scarf-pin, watch-chain and seal, be-
cause these articles are useful; but the
palmer they are the better.
Don't clean your ears, or your nose,
or trim and clean your finger-nails in
public. Cleanliness and neatness in all
things pertaining to the person are in
dispensable, but toilet offices are proper
in the privacy of ones apartment only.
Don't chew or nurse your toothpick
in public-or anywhere else.

At the inquest of the body of
William Everhart, of Philadelphia, the
Coroner's physician testified that the
man had been accustomed to eating
this food like wild beast and that
he had died from strangulation. 1t

he had refused to eat either meat or
vegetables except in their raw state.
When piece of raw meat vas
thrown him he would pounce upon it
like a hungry wolf and tear it apart

A HIGH-PRICED LUXURY.

Even ordinary whisky was twenty
five cents drink, but after you got
thoroughly acquainted with the bar
tender, as . general thing he would
look in. another direction while you
were drinking, and you had an oppor-
tunity of testing the elastic qualities OF
the glass.
The negro would not work in your
field half day for fifty cents, but
would carry bucket of water a mile
for drink of whisky. 1t was the diff
ference between labor pure and simple
and spasmodic industry with social en-
joyment as the prospective reward.
The latter always won.

EL PESO DEL HOMBRE.

De cuando en- cuando la balanza re-

Un comerciante de Londres tuvo Ia
idea de instalar en- sus almacenes una
balanza destifada a pesar los parro-
quianos. Sus hijos y nietos siguieron
en- la misma mania, Y desde meGiados
del siglo anterior hasta la fecha, Hevan
pesadas mas de 10000 personals, con-
signando minuciosamente sus pesos
respectivos en- registros especiales.
Hoy Ian sacado consecuencias de esos
curiosos datos. Sc sabe que el peso
del hombre crece hasta cierta edad, y

to anual medic era antes de unas seis
libras, en- los dltimos noEenta amos

Los ingleses de 1740 q 1859, llega-
ron al peso medic mucno mas pronto

medic q los II amos era de l66 ibras,
q los 80 de 176. q los 40 de 1e4;
q les so de 181, a los 20 de $50. De
1770 q 1870, ell peso medic d los IL
amos subl6 d 168, d los 80 All, fue
de 172 q los 40, de 184 q los so, y de
178 los go. De 1900 a 1880 ell Pc
SO medic era de los q los IL amos, de
III q los 20, de 175 d los so, de lSl
q los go, y de 18S q los 20.
De aqui Sc deduce que hoy pesa me-
nos ell hombre que antiguamente, y
que crecemos con mas lentitud, pues ell
termino medic superior llega q edad
avanzada. 7 como La duraci6n de la
vida media aumente, vemos confrma-
da en- ell hombre la ley general que III
ge todos los animales, que la durs-
ci6n de la existencia estA en- raz6n de
la rapidez del crecimiento.
Este es un asunto que seria curioso
dilucidsr con fuEdamento, y deberfan
abrirse nuevos registros en- los alnace-
nes y establecimientcs, donde Sc pudie-
Sc llevar cuidadosamente esta clase de
cuentas.
