There is no power of love so hard to
keep as kind voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough in
flesh and blood, yet do the work of
soft heart, and do it with soft touch.
But there is no one thing it so much
needs as a sweet voice to tell what it
means and feels, and it is hard to get
it and keep it in the right tone. One
must start in youth, and be on the
watch night and day. at work and while
nj play, to get and keep voice that
shall speak at all times the thought of
a kind heart. But this is the time
when sharp voice is most apt to be
got You often hear boys and girls say
words at play with quick, sharp tone,
rs il il were the snap of whip.
Ii any of them get veXed You VIII
hear q voice that sounds as if it were
made up Of snarl, whine, and a bark.
Such voice often speaks worse than
the heart feels. 1t shows more ill-will
in tone than in words. 1t is often in
mirth that one gets voice or tone
that's sharp, and it sticks TO him through
life. and stirs up ill-will and grief, and
falls like drop of gall ON the sweet
lows at home Such as these get q
sharp home voice for use and keep
their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere, just as they would save their
best cakes and pies for guests and all
their sour food for their own board. i
would say to all girls and boys, Use
your best voice at home" Watch it by
day as a pearl of great price, for it will
be worth more to YOU in the days to
come than the best pearl hid in the sea.
kind voice is a l4rk's song to heart
and home. 1t is to the heart what light
is to the eve. Anon

Yanderhilt'S Treasure Xanlf.

stood the other day in the vault OF
the formidable fortress of iron and
masonry on Forty-sec md street, where
last year the richest nabob in the world
locked up his 5000, 100000 in stocks,
bonds, and other securities. 1t is one
of the most redoubtable works OF
defense ON the American continent,
though you may not be entirely certain
of that by surveying the building from
the outside It's foundations were
blasted out Of the rock; the front wall
is five feet in thickness, and the side
and rear walls are three feet, the
materials used being pressed brick with
brown-stone trimmings. L beams,
girders, and main pillars are iron, in.
cased in fireproof material The doors,
windowframes, and minor partitions
are iron, marble, and glass. No wood
is to be found in the structure. The
great vault is 36x42 feet, of wrought
iron, steel, and Franklinite iron, is inn
posing in strength and propol tions, and
is situated on tho ground floor. It's
four outer doors weigh $500 pounds
each, and have every effective and
known improvement in defensive de-
vices. A massive wall of masonry sur
rounds the ironwork. The vault, which
is burglar, fire, and water proof, con-
stitutes a distinct building in itself.
The armed watchmen who guard the
building day and night are under the
strictest discipline, their hourly move
ments being recorded by an electric
clock connecting with various points on
each floor of the structure, and there
are also wires running to police head
quarters and the offices of the district
telegraph. In one corner of this great
vault, behind heavy iron bars, are the
heavier iron doors of the works contain
ing the Vanderbilt securities, which
can be opened only by skeleton-keys
held by the owner alone. | suppose
that a hundred men in this building,
with Calling guns, could easily defend
it against mob of 100000 assailants;
it could be reduced by nothing less
than the continued play of heavy artil.

over ST., 000,0 to his fortune within a
year, though it has been a poor year.
Thus rapidly does the stupendous
volume of his unparalleled pile enlarge.
Nothing like such growth of any mans
wealth was ever before known in the
world. Every year, in the nature of
things, the growth increases, so that
the estimate of the best-informed men
is that by the year 1890 he will be able
to pile up not less than $500, 900, 900 in
his great iron vault behind walls five
feet thick. john SiCinton's Paper.

How Senator Ewing Came to Be Called
s'SOlitude.

The nicknaming of prominent men,
particularly OF those mixing in politics,
is practiced in this country more, per-
haps. than in any other, and, as rule,
the recipient takes to it kindly. Thus,
Gen: jackson was as well known as
odd Hickory and more readily recog-
nized than if called President jackson.
Senator Benton, in his lifetime, was
almost as well known as "Old Bullion"
so called from his advocacy of gold
and silver currency and his inveterate
opposition to banks and paper money.
The late Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, while
a Senator in Congress, had his nick
name of Solitude" and it so stuck to
him that even now, long after his death,
the prefix is still given him, to dis
tinguish him from his son and name
sake, Gen. Tom Ewing. Senator Ew-
ing made speech in the United States
Senate which fastened the Solitude
upon him. It was during the national
bank agitation, when the supporters of
that institution were active in picturine
the ruin that would come upon the
country if the banks charter was not
renewed. Senator Ewing, in debate,
spoke of the mechanic being out of
work, and that the busy hum OF in
dustry is heard not in this, the busy
season of the year, and wound up with
the assertion that "our canals are SOL
itude, our lakes but desert wastes of
water" A number of congressman
several of them Senators, and more
than half of them Democrats-made up
party to return to their homes by the
way of the New York canal. The West
was then sending its produce to the
East via lake and canal, and the Con.
gressional party found that the canal
trade, if judged by the number of boats
met, was immense, and it was stand.
ing joke with the Democratic members
when fleet of boats hove in sight to
call Mr.. Ewing from the cabin of the
packet-boat to look at his solitude"
At the lower end of the canal there had
been break, and large number of
boats were usually in sight. or course
there was fun to see them and to point
them out to the Ohio member, but the
fun was not on his side nor to his lik-
ing. At Rochester, just as the packet
boat landed. freight-boat was dis
charging cargo, and Mr.. Ewing and the
other Congressman were lookers-on.
BY some accident hogshead filled with
molasses had its head burst in, and the
poured into the canal. An
Irish laborer standing near to Mr.. Ew-
ing, without knowing who he was, ex-
claimed: "Jabers. mon, that must be
swatened." The other Con-
gressmen roared with laughter, and
Mr.. Ewing was forced to join them.
The Democratic members told the Joke
and it got into the newspapers, and it
aided in perpetuating the sobriquet of
Solitude" on Senator Thomas Ewing.

The Religion Of the Future.

DO | believe that new religion will
arise in the far-off future that shall en-
brace all the excellences of the various
religions of to-day? Hardly. We hear
much talk about the conveyance of the
religions of to-day The Catholic and
the Protestant religions do not draw
nearer together. A Jesuit from Canada
visited Eliot, a strong Puritan, 300
years ago. When the Jesuit was about
to depart Eliot said My friend, am
surpr .sed to find how many things we
really have in common | do not think
Jesuit from Canada or any other
place could now visit the most liberal
of popular ministers, and find as many
things in common. Does the attitude
which Mons gnor Capel and other
Catholic prelates have taken toward
the Protestant Church look like an
amalgamation of the two churches?
Does the jew Worship on Sunday and
believe II the Trinity? Slid, believe
there are good times coming, when men
will not ftll out on account of opinion,
but will meet on a common basis of
manhood and int llig nee.

mean that the finest and most thought

bearing down more lightly on sinners,

are doubling the doctrine of the Trinity

trying to make the boundaries of their
creeds wider, more generous, to let
more sunshine into their churches,
There is going to be a great body, with

upon broader and more liberal inter-
probation of the whole body of the

and adopt new ones that are more

the characters that he would laugh and

Cui.iOsities OF the Stage.

The newest ground is, perhaps.
opened in "Stage Doors" since in this
portion of his work Mr. Dutton Cook
penetrates into the innermost sanctum
Of the manager, and teaches the aspir-
ant after honors dramatic or histrionic
what is In store for him should he ever
find himself in those mystical regions.
Sorry consolation is here for those who
hope to win a position as dramatists by
leaving their plays at the stage door.
According to this latest authority, the
doorkeeper receives the packets of
manuscript, which are stored in a tin
box, and ARE never looked at by a
manager, who, when he wants a play.
knows, or thinks he knows, where he
can obtain one, and addresses himself
accordingly to a playwright who has
previously produced plays" The ulti-
mate destination of the drama which
once finds its way into this "tin box" is
inevitably "the butterman's." Among
the devices adopted by managers to
avoid the duns, legal and literary, to
which they may be exposed on visiting
the theater, one plan seems sufficiently
ingenious. A certain famous lessee
succeeded during some time in getting
IN and out of his theater by assuming
the livery of his own coachman, and so
equipped driving boldly to and fro.
Under the head of Strange Players"
Mr. Cook describes some curious ex-
periments that have been made upon
the stage. Many play-goers still recall
Slgnor Donate, a one-legged dancer,
who appeared in the dress of a Spanish
bull-fghter, and danced with surpris.
ing agility. Foote furnishes, perhaps.
the best known instance of one-legeed
player. Such are, however, far from
uncommon on the stage; and we could
mention, were it not breach of conf.
dence, one well-known actor, who is
still favorably received on the London
stage by public ignorant of the fact
that he has lost one of his two supports.
Foote, it is known, lost his leg by an
accident. h wrote his comedy of
The Lame Lover" to introduce his
false leg, and as Sir Luke Limp, in a
vein of Rabelaisian pleasantly, dwelt
upon the advantages which attended
the sacrifice: "A leg! a redundancyi
mere nothing at all Man is from
nature an extravagant creature. In nv
opinion, we might all be full as we'll as
we are with but half the things we
have. George Vandenhoff mentions
his dismay in finding his Iago a man
with sleeve containing a simulated
arm. In Anthony Parquin's Life of
Forrest" mention is made of an actor
with paralyzed arm and a glass eve,
who used to play Richard LII. Mr..
Ira Aldridge, the African Roscius, was
a black. Buc' ne in his later years
was quite deaf, and learned from the
of the, lips when his cue ar
rived. Elliston, and many an actor be-
fore and since, squinted On one oc-
casion the hero of "Gdipus" was
performed at Drury Lane by a man
totally blind, and in a Staffordshire
company the heroes of tragedy and the
lovers Of comedy were all played by an
actor similarly afflicted. Mali Ga

Maple Sugar.

Maple sugar making was an impor-
tant matter on farms in the good old
times. The settler usually took posses
sion of his bit of wilderness in the early
spring, and rarely failed to have, among
his few household affairs, large iron
kettle to use in sugaring before other
farming could be begun. The kettle
was hung on a pole which rested ON
crotched posts, or living trees, if they
stood handy; and the fire was built un-
derneath without further arrangements.
Tapping the trees was then called
boxing" The farmer went at tree
with an ak as if he meant to chop it
down, and took out chip half as large
as his head, and of such shape that the
sap ran out at the lowest corner of the
cut. Through the bark, under this, he
made cut with rude gouge called
tapping iron" into which was driven
the end of wooden spout, of course
shaped like the iron itself. The sap was
caught in trough two feet long, made
from q small basSwood tree with the
ak, and carried in buckets with a neck
yoke, through the snow to the kettle.
There, it was boiled down, in company
with cinders, leaves, bits of bark and
miscellaneous foreign substances with
out end And finally came Swimming
and straining; and the product, black
as night, gritty, and of unknown flavor,
was still maple sugar But maple
sugar-making is entirely changed. Poe
try and dirt have given way to profit
and an edible substance. The old chop
ping of the tree is replaced by small
anger hole, the clumsy wooden spout
by little tube, and the wooden trough
which lay under the tree from year to
year 10y a tin bucket kept scrupulously
clean. The sap is hauled by teams, in
great tubs. to substantial building
then carefully strained, and boiled
down in a great evaporation with con-
slant attention to cleanliness, and as
rapidly rs possible, because cooking
tends to destroy the flavor which gives
maple sugar its charms and price.

Carholic Acid.

The Connecticut Farmer says: "A
hottie of carbolic acid should be kept
in every farm house, not only as dis
;nfectant. but as a wash for wounds and
sores. For any purpose it should be
d;Iuted with water. Its power to
destroy fungus growth makes carbolic
acid invaluable in pruning orchards OF
near. plum, or peach where blight or
disease is suspected. The pruning
shears should be frequently dipped in
carbolic acid water

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a gold watch case, and yet wpeople know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality Of them. naSoIID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the necss-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion Of the metal is needed
only to stifIcn and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the james Boss Gold Watch Case y Why
which saves the WASTE Of need : )

STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.
