WISE WORDS.

Choose brave employment with naked
sword throughout the world.
Genius follows its own path and
reaches its destination scarcely needing
a compass.
That state of life is the most happy
where superfuities are not required
and where necessities are not want
ing.
Discretion and hardy valor are the
twins of honor, and nursed together
make a conqueror; divided, but a mere
talker.
When Fortune comes smiling, she Of
ten designs the most mischief When
Fortune caresses a man too much, she is
apt to make fool of him.
Old age is the night of life, as night
is the old age of day. Still, night is
full of magnihcence; and, for many, tits
more brilliant than the day.
He is poverty stricken who is so alb.
sorbed in the little Enclosures of which
he holds the title deed that he loses his
grasp on the bending universe
Self control is promoted by humility.
Pride is fruitful source of uneasiness.
1t keeps the mind in disquiet. Humil-
ity is the antidote to this evil.
Money and time are the heaviest bur.
dens of life, and the unhappiest of ali
mortals are those who have more of
either than they know now to use.

their counterfeit money even in Newgate.
To show their skill they struck a medal

4 Pnthntic INCIDENT

A pathetic little incident connected
with the celebrated case before Congress
regarding the reduction of fifty dollars
per month from the pension allowed by
the government to the late General Ward
b. Burnett, for gallant services rendered
his country, occurred on the day of his
death. The congressional committee
were seated in their room discussing the
case, hotly arguing for and against the
brave old soldier, whether or not to re.
store the special pension, which to them
personally could mean so little, but to
him was fraught with such weighty in
terest, when suddenly all were startled
by the unexpected entrance of Mrs. Bur
nett. Gazing around for IN instant with
a dazed, sorrowful air, she advanced a
step nearer, saying grayely, with a won
drous pathos in her voice, "Gentlemen.
you can fight him no lenger he is gone. -
and then the ve-hearted wife, who,
through all the years of tlial and sorrow,
never once faltered in that helpful allie
glance to her husband, which was the
bright spot in the closing years of once
brilliant career burst INTO telrs. II Waai-

immense Continental Armies.

Colonel Hennebert, French professor,
has compiled some appalling statistics in
regard to the immense continental armies
that could be put into the field in case Of
a European war. Not mere armies, but
armed nations, he says, will hereafter
meet on the battlefield, and the battles OF
the future will be gigantic massacres.
BY the law of the I'd of May, 1874, the
German government is authorized to call
out, in case of war, 5000, 600 men. BY
the ukase of January 1, of the same
year, Russia is permitted to arm nearly
$1,000, 900. OF course, these numbers
are only on paper; but, deducting every
thing, taking the real number available
in the two empires, and it is positive
that Germany can put into the field 3,
100000, and Russia $500, COO fighting
men, thoroughly drilled and disciplined,
while, as Austria, by her law of Decem-
Der 5, 1868, is permitted to put on a war
footing 1865, 600 soldiers, an Austro-
German Russian alliance represents, in
round numbers, 1900, 900 combatants.
Join to these, as may be considered
certain, Italy's contingent, assured by
her laws of 1875, 1876 and 1872 at .,
$40, 900 men, and the quadruple league
can dispose of mass of troops of all arms
exceeding 10, 600, 900, with 600 batteries
of field guns.

An East India Version of the Flood.

In East India there is a legend that
ages ago mankind became so very bad
that God determined to destroy all ex-
cept just enough to begin with anew.
The exceptions were mostly preserved
along with pairs of all sorts of animals,
in golden palace on a mountain top.
A boy and girl, born of parents who
were 'neither good nor bad, had been
previously carried off by an angel from
the respective homes on the day of
their birth, and were brought up in a
crystal palace suspended in mid-air,
where they We're ieaded by a mute female
figure of gold. When they grew up they
were married, and girl was born TO
them. The destruction of the wicked
having been effected by fire, the earth
was thereby greatly smirched. SO giants
were sent TO wash it clean They used
so much water that deluge was pro
duced, and the water rose so high that
the golden palace and its inmates were
IN danger Of being submerged.

The Best Filter.

The-J Japanese use a porous sandstone
followed in the shape of an egg, through
which the water percolates into a receipt
acle underneath; the Egyptians resort to
a similar device; the Spaniards use por-
GUS earthern pot. But these and other
similar contrivances can not be thorough
ly cleansed; after the most thorough rims
ing, some impurities will remain in the
pores of the stone. Spongy iron and car
feral are open tothe same objection; they
will answer well for a short time, but
soon become contaminated by pollution
retained in their pores, Sponge, cloth,
and felt, unless cleaned every day or two
with hot water, will do more harm than
good, and the average servant-girl will
not clean them or any other filter unless
under the eye of her mistress.
The various forms of filters that are
screwed to the faucet have only to be
hastily examined to be discarded, as there
is no sufficient filtering material in them
to be Of much utility, and they very soon
become foul and offensive. Buck says,
''There is no material known which can
be introduced into the small space of a
tap-flter and accomplish any. real puri-
fcation of the water which passes through
at the ordinary rate of flow"
The various. complicated closed filters,
filed with any material which can not
be removed for cleansing, condemn them
selves. No amount of pumping water
through them at different angles, which
is at all likely to be used, can cleanse
them Of the impurities that adhere to the
mass and in the pores of the filtering ma
terial used. Parkes, in his manual of
Practical Hygiene" says, Filters, where
the material is cemented up and can not
be removed, ought to be abandoned al
together"
The various metal filters in which the
water comes in conGact with metallic
surfaces, either iron, lead, timed iron, or
zinc, are Objectionable from their appre-
cable influence upon the water retained
in them for any considerable time. Pure
lock-tin is the least Objectionable Of any
of the metals.
The aim of most filters is to remove
impurities from the water spee1ily-as
rapidly as it escapes from the faucet.
Experiment shows that effective filtration
can not be accomplished in this way, as
the water does not remain long enough
in contact with the fltering material
used to become purified of much that
might be removed bv slow filtration or
percolation through the same appliance.
Of all the filtering materials mentioned,
it seems to me that sand and charcoal
are the two that accomplish the best re-
suits, and of these vegetable charcoal Is

THE CHILD VOCALIST.

"He's a splendid card" exclaimed the
manager, enthusiastically.
"Is he, indeed2" said Vance Raymond,
rather abstractedly as he gazed at the
packeda auditorium.
They were standing in the lobby ofthe
Varieties. Raymond had dropped in for
a few minutes while making his nightly
round of the theaters. The manager,
eager for good notice in the daily on
which his companion served as a dra-
matte critic, was himself almost often
sively agreeable. ls f#st
"The hit of the show" he emphatically
affirmed. you'll wait for him, won't
You? He comes on next"
81 don't know whether can spare the
time" said Raymond, smoothing out the
play-bill that had been crumpled up in
his hand. And in type which stood out
holder than the rest, he read:
LITTLE DOTp
The phenomenal child artist, in his
wonderful character change"
by more terms of laudatory character,
similarly extravagant.
Raymond carelessly cast his programme
aside and watched the two upon the
stage. They were going through what
figured on the bills as an "acrobatic song
and dance" Presently they executed a
remarkable somersault that brought forth
a cloud of dust, and made their exit, fol-
lowed by the deafening applause of the
gallery. In response, they came out and
bowed, and the stamping of feet and
clapping of hands gradually ceased.
The quiet that fell upon the house was
broken by the tinkle of the prompter's
bell. The eyes of the audience eXpectant-
ly sought the wings. The musicians raised
their instruments and began to play one
of the popular airs in vogue.
"Watoh' him." whispered the manager
ga born actor, and no mistake"
AS he spoke, little figure, clothed IN
a black velvet suit, with delicately
striped pink stockings, appeared on the
STAGE. A crimson handkerchief prOtrud
ed slightly from his pocket and an eye
glass dangled at his side. In his hand he
held a light cane, which he tWirled fop
ishly at intervals.
Such pinched, wan face he tnrneC
toward the audience, as he began hi
song in the yellow glare of foot-hghts! 4
feVerish flush was on his cheeks and hi
ewes sparkled with unnatural brilliancy
RAYMOND felt his heart grow soft witt

voice that to his experienced ear aIread.
showed signs of breaking.
~ "Poor little chap" he murmured; he
scarcely seven, should judge" An'
somehow a tender thought Of his tw
little chicks, dreaming, perhaps, of thei
childish heroes at the time came to hin
He watched Little Dot through the mis-
that had gathered in his eyes.
The song soon came to an end, and tn
