eral years after having reached our
majority, our neighbor's bay-window
swung by its leather strap just rs the
girl had hung it. She, at least, did not
miscalculate her resources. She knew
what material she had to build with
and built accordingly. She nailed that
leather hinge on there to stay, and it
stayed.
Last summer We took few weeks
vacation and wandered back to the old
neighborhood. A friend took us in
horse and carriage and drove US out to
the farm where We were raised. We
passed the spot where the old red
school.house used to stand, but it was
not there. In its place stood more
modern and better structure. We
drove on toward our old home until
We approached the farm of the great
man, our one time neighbor, and
the first thought that came to our
mind at sight of the familiar land
marks was of that bay window. We
wondered if il was there yet, and when
We arrived opposite the house peered
eagerly through the branches of the
trees, that had grown up since We left,
in an effort to get sight of it, and al.
most felt aggrieved when instead ofthe
swinging board We saw common
twelve-pane window, such as is to DO
seen in farm houses everywhere.
"Our neighbours bay window is gone,'
We said to our companion.
"Yes," was the reply, and our neigh

the place now and they have made the
changes which you see." The great
man of our childhood was learned
in some things, and was splendid car
penter when he could get down to
work, but he was always just going to do
something.
He could never correctly estimate
his resources, and always tried to do
about six times as much as the means
at command would justify him in at
tempting. That was his great weak
ness, and it prevented him from ever
accomplishing anything.

A Rem ark able story.
tChicago Herald

Professor Warren, of Dover, N. j.,
lectured in the high school hall at New
Haven recently, and told o remarkable
story concerning John Hancock, one OF
the signers OF the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence, who, he stated was under in.
dictment for smuggling 100000 worth
OF liquor into the colonies. A friend Of
the lecturer was engaged not long since
by the descendants of Hancock to
gather material from which to write
the history of Hancocks life. The
material was collected and read, when
members Of the family Immediately
offered the writer $1,000 TO hand over
the work and not make any further In,
vestigation. The writer took the money
and the book was never issued.

Oar Woods and Reads.
TIos Angeles Cal Herald /

Herr Lasker, however, found two
things to deprecate in the United
States. In the first place, he depre.
Gated the prodigal waste Of the forests
with which this continent is so prodi-
gally endowed. He pointed out the
fact that, while naturally We are so far
superior to Germany in this regard,
the older country was far more en-.
lightened in its policy as to forests.
There the people and government were
at the utmost pains to conserve and to
replace the occasionally denuded parks.
While there the grand, primeval trees
we're not encountered in anything like
the prodigous stretches characteristic
of the United States, there was the
most persevering replacement of every
tree which was compulsorily sacrificed
for fuel or other purposes. He sug-
gested that, while necessity would ulti.
mately compel us TO adopt the Europ.
can plan in this matter, IL would be
wise to anticipate the iron exigency of
the future, thus saving us much posi-
tive damage and vexation on the prin-
ciple that an ounce Of prevention is
worth pound Of cure.
The second regard in which Herr
Lasker found the United States vastly
inferior TO Europe was in our roads. In
the Old World, however great the sac.
rifice and inconvenience in despotic
forms OF government, the people had
splendid highways and byways. The
initiative set by the old Roman repub-
lie and the old Roman empire OF per.
feet roadways, culverts and sidewalks
was religiously adhered to by Ger
many and other nations of Europe. He
thought that in this respect, as in thu
other, we might we'll borrow o lesson
from the effste monarchies OF the Old
World.

Muffs for Mustaches.

Some person laughed and all locked
puzzled at the object which was con.
spicuous under mans nose, AS the
owner of the nose alighted at the door
of the Metropolitan operahouse on the
night Of the PALESTINE ball. What ex.
cited so much attention was something
resembling nm ear mufi, which rested
on the mans upper lip and dropped on
each side of his mouth.
A number of persons followed him 10

there. The gentleman first removed
his hat and coat. then he gave a pull
at each end OF his upper lip cover and

Remark able Cheaical Experinent.
lChicago Tribune.l

An event of considerable interest oc-
Cured in the chemical department Of
Amherst college Saturday. Once in
three years the experiment is made of
condensing carbonic dioxide. So diff
cult and dangerous is the undertaking
by this process that il is forbidden BY
law in all countries except in the United
States, and probably Amherst is the
only college where il h undertaken.
Two iron cylinders are used, one the
generator, the other the receiver. They
resemble howitzers fitted with strong
iron bands and peculiar valves. Bi-
carbonate Of soda and sulphuric acid
are placed in the generator in such Q
way % not to mingle until the cylinder
is securely closed. The union of the sub.
stances generates csrbonic acid gas with
terrific pressure being about ton to
every four square inches, and this
passes into the receiver which is packed
in ice and salt. The process is re-
peated twelve times, until the gas in
the receiver is forced by the pressure
and cold into liquid form. When this
is allowed to flow out II eyaporates SO
rapidly that it forms q solid snow.like
mass having the surprising temperature
of lao degrees below zero. Mercury
poured upon it freezes instantly, and
the effect Of touching it is the same as
handling q red-hot coal. The great
danger in the experiment arises from
the tremendous pressure and thus the
liability of bursting cylinder. The
experiment Saturday. which was in
charge of Inspector Pond and the
senior chemistry division, was of great
interest to the entire college.

THE REVELATION.
Coventry PatuorNl

An idle poet, here and there,
Looks round him; but, for all the rest;
The world, unfathomably fair,
Is duller than witlings jest.
Love wakes men, once q lifetime each;
They lift their heavy lids, and look;
And 10, what one sweet page can teach
They read with joy, then shut the book,
And some give thanks, and some blaspheme,
And most forget, but, either way,
That and the Childs unheeded dream
Is all the light Of all their day.

Self.SuppOrting Girls.

Girls, first make up your minds that
you will be something! All the rest
will follow. What you shall be comes
more easily and clearly in due time.
A girl of thirteen can not decide, with
any discretion or any assurance, whether
she will be sculptor or wash-woman,
farmer or poet; but she can decide
distinctly whether it is her wish or her
duty, after leaving school or college,
to remain dependent upon her parents
or to fit herself for providing life.
The education by which you mean
to get your bread and butter, your
gloves and bonnets, is very different
affair from that which you take upon
yourself as an ornament and an interval
in life. The chemical experiment which
you may some day have to explain to
pupils of your own is quite another
thing from the lesson that you may
never think of again. The practice in
bookkeeping, which may some time
regulate your dealings with live, flesh
and-blood customers, becomes as inter-
csting as a new story. The dull old
rules for infection and enunciation
fairly turn into poetry, if you hope to
find yourself a great public reader some
coming day. And the very sawdust of
the French or Latin grammar becomes
ashes of roses to the stout little fancy
that dreams of bravo work and big
salary, in some foreign department at
Washington, or tutoring girls or boys
for college. All over the terrible
ocean, among the lawless sailors, the
men with wives and children to work
for are those who lead the gentlest and
cleanest lives. So, on the great ocean
of school-life, the girls with aims to
study for are those whose labor is the
richest and the ripest. All! you viii
never realize till you have tried it what
an immense power over the life is the
power of possessing distinct aims. The
voice, the dress, the look, the very mo-
tons of a person define and alter when
he or she begins to live for reason. |

Law and Liquor.


In New York State it is nov proposed
to charge license of $3.50 year for
every seller of beer, and $500 year for
the privilege of dispensing spirituous
liquors. In this the New York legislat-
ors are intating what has been done in
Missouri, Illinois and Ohio. Public
opinion is not yet ripe in all the States
for prohibiting the sale of liquor. but
there is determination everywhere to
make the liquor-selling interest pay for
some of the damage they infict upon
the community. Meanwhile the pro-
dueion and consumption of spirits is
enormous. The distilleries turn out
100000 gallons every month, while
the consumption is over 100000 gal
Ions month. Last October the total
amount of distilled spirits in the United
States was lis. 949, 235 gallons; of which
the Government kept in its own store
houses in bond nearly 100000 gal
Ions, until the owners could find it con-
venient to pay the taxes upon it. The
distillers who have liquors in bond have
been trying to bully Congress into ex-
tending the time upon which they
might take their liquor out of bond. but

insist upon the payments of the dues

Quaking Italy.

1t would seem that the soil of Italy is
in incessant movement, there being
periods of excessive activity usually
lasting about ten days. Such period
may be called seismic storm. These
storms are separated by periods of rela
tive Gains. The storms have their
greater regularity in winter, and sharp
maximums are to be observed in spring
and autumn. In the midst of such a
period, or at its end. there is usually an
earthquake. Usually these storms are
closely related to barometric depres-
sions. To distinguish these movements
from those which occur under high
pressure they are called baro-seismic
movements. the latter being called vol
cano-seismic movements. The relation
of these storms TO barometric fuctua.
ton has been observed TO be very
marked during the time of a volcanic
eruption. At the commencement OF
storm the motions are usually small
and one storm lasting two or three days
may be joined by another storm. In
such case the action may be Ioc
one. 1t has been Observed that bar
ometrical depression tended to bring a

A New Disease.

Among the curious maladies which
advancing civilization seems destined to
bring in its train not the least remark
able is that on which Partisan doctors
are bestowing good deal Of attention
just now the obliquity of mind which
has been called peaT deS espdceS. The
sufferer is usually man in apparently
good health, and is affected by no pre-
monitory symptoms, although, on the
other hand, there are cases where the
malady results from other diseases, and
is introduced by a feeling of weakness
and sickness. 1t generally comes on
suddenly, when the patient arrives at a
particular place or is brought into the
presence of particular person. He
then is observed to be in mortal terrier
without any apparent cause. The earth
seems to him to open into chasm be-
fore his feet, or he finds himself isolated
by an immense and impenetrable space
from the rest of the world. If he is on
the pavement he dares not for his life
step onto the roadway, but stands stock
still to be jeered at by the street boys.
If he is on step, he is afraid to move
up or down for fear of being dashed to
pieces in some imaginary abyss All
this time he keeps his wits-or, at least
a great many of them-about him, and
is sensible of his absurd position. Some
times he has enough sense to avoid
places where the attack has come on
before, or seems likely to do so again.
Another popularity is that most Of the
liberal professions, and to the higher
ranks OF society. By examination into
a considerable number Of cases in the
hospitals, it was found that men more
often suffered than women. n prog.or-
