Wise Sayings.

After reading the doctrines of Plato,
Socrates or Aristotle, we feel that the
specific difference between their words
and Christ's is the difference between an
Inquiry and a Revelation.-Dr. Joseph
Parker.
"A man who depends on the riches
and honors of this world, forgetting
God and the welfare of his soul, is like
little child that holds fair apple in
the hand, of agreeable exterior, prom
ising goodness, but within It's rotten
and full of worms. Martin Luther.
Moody, speaking at Cork, Ireland,
said, in his characteristic fashion, that
the way to get room illuminated is
not to send a hundred men to bale out
the darkness, but just to let in the light.
1t is the same with our hearts. We
must let in the light.
If you want to spoil all that God
gives you; if you want to be miserable
yourself, and maker Of misery to 9TH
ers, the way is easy enough. Only be
selfish, and it is done at once. Think
about yourself, what respect the people
ought to pay you, what people think of
you, and then to you nothing will be
pure. Charles Kingsley.
The human heart has gone so far
astray as to have lost almost complete
" the sense of gratitude. We eat and
are full and abound in numberless
blessings, end then feel few, if any,
emotions of gratitude for them. 1t is
said that soma races and classes of men
are peculiarly ungrateful, but it hardly
seems worth while to investigate this
matter, as we all have enough to repent
of at home. Would it not be well for
us to take lessons of what we ought to
be and to do from some Of the lower or
ders of animal lifep Even a dog often
shows much more gratitude and kind
ness than we do, and he seems to have
no sense of shame about confassing it,

THE MANY MANSIONS.


Heart of mine, canst thou be troubled
When the Master, in His grace,
Has prepared those Heavenly dwellings
Where shall behold His face2
shall know mine from all others,
Mid those palaces of light,
Shining like the sun upon me
As enter from the night.
When reach that happy mansion
Home, my home, forevermore--
May find my absent, lost ones
Standing in the open door!
May feel restoring kisses
On my weary cneek and brow;
May see the love-light shining
That only dream OF now!
o, the all-pervading sweetness
OF that blessed future life!
o, the deep repose TO follow
All this wasting care and strife!
Heart of mine, then oear thy burden
Up the hill, through dust and heat
Any turn may show that City
Lying right beneath thy feet

in the course of the day, and what he
does with his money. For the latter,
he does not spend more than seventh
part of it. He puts it in bag and then
in long, low, chest in his room,
to save till he has enough to go
back to southern Italy and live at
ease. More often he joins every night

Gigantic Fossils.

Most people of San Luis Obispo are
familiar with the large fossil oysters
that are found in various localities in
the country, but few have ever seen a
more perfect one than that brought to
town from Santa Margarita by Rev.
Mr.. Summers, few DAYS since. This
measured sixteen and half inches in
length, eight inches broad, and TWEEN
ty-three inches around the thickest
part. 1t was complete bivalve, the
upper and lower shells being entire,
and when opened presented smooth
inner surfaces almost as if the oysters
had lately been taken out to furnish
The meal of some family The general
appearance was that of gigantic
human foot-the broad part of the toe,
the hinge at the heel, and the thickest
part at the instep. The locality where
it was found is on the Santa Margarita,
near the residence of General Murphy,
in the upper valley of the Szlinas, the
elevation being 97S feet above the level
of tho sea, as shown by the Pacific
Railroad survey of Lieutenant Parkes.
These fossils are scientifically called
Ostreatitaus Obispana, and are found
in vast beds in several parts of the
county, at attitudes from few hundred
to two thousand feet. Formerly they
were quarried and burned for lime.
but latterly are only noted as curiosi-
ties.-San Ltis O6ispo Tribune.

What Can Be Done at a Soap
Bubble Party.

As about forty guests were expected,
forty pipes were decorated, each with a
ribbon bow and streamers-fve pipes
with one color, and five with another,
and so on till eight colors were appor-
toned. Besides these decorations,
there were forty rosettes, five of a
color, which Were distributed among
the guests by little girl
The girl then called out the color,
and the five blowers who wore it took
their places around the bowl. She
next named color for umpires, and
they also took their places at the right
and left of the circle, where each could
gee plainly. 1t was the aim of each
blower to make the largest bubble
Each was allowed five minutes at first
to practice, but had the privilege of
devoting all of his time to one bubble.
But when one of their umpires called
''Timer' all were obliged to 60 on
with the one they begun. Some by
blowing too hard exploded their bub-
bles, but could not begin another after
the word Time" had been spoken.
Others were so careful that their bub-
bles were small. The umpires, of
course, awarded the prize to the one
making the largest bubble that ex-
ploded last.
Afterward, the grand trial for the
chief prize was announced; and the
fortunate winners of the minor prizes
one from each group-surrounded the
bowl and prepared for the contest.
Great interest was felt IN the trial
Among so many of the best blowers,
the rivalry was very close, but, after a
merry struggle, the champion was at
last decided upon, and was made the
happy recipient of the grand prize,
which vas delivered to him with a
| fowery speech.
Between the dances, some quiet con-
tests were tried by few players, to
see which could make bubble that
would outlast the others, using their
own Judgment as to size.
Another party found much amuse-
ment by competing to see which player
could touch the ceiling first with a
bubble, under the same regulations as
before. But the bubble must remain
unbroken; none would count which
simply touched there and broke by the
contact George B. Bartlett, in st.

The Brain of an Ant.

Well may Darwin speak of the brain
of an ant as one of the most wondrous
particles of matter in the world. We
are apt to think that it is impossible
for so minute piece of matter to pos
sess the necessary completely required
for the discharge of such elaborate
functions. The microscope will no
doubt show some details in the ant
brain, but these fall hopelessly short of
revealing the refinement which tie
ants brain must really have. The
microscope is not adequate to show us
the texture of matter. 1t has been one
of the great discoveries of modern times
to enable US to form some numerical
estimate of the exquisite delicacy of
the fabric which we know as inert mat
ter. Water, or air, or iron may be
divided and subdivided, but the process
cannot be carried on indefinitely.
There is q well defined limit. We are
even able to make some approximation
to the number of molecules in a given
mass of matter. Sir w. Thomson has
estimated that the number of atoms in
a cubic inch of air is to be expressed
by the figure s, followed by no fewer
than twenty ciphers. The brain of the
ant doubtless contains more atoms
than an equal volume of air; but even
if we suppose them to be the same, and
if we take the size of an ants brain to
be little globe one-thousandth of an
inch in diameter, we are able to form
some estimate of the number of atoms
it must contain. The number is to be
expressed by writing down 6, and fol-
lowing it by eleven ciphers. We can
imagine these atoms grouped in so
many various ways that even the COM
plexity of the ants brain may be in
telligible when we have so many units
to deal with. An illustration will
perhaps make the argument clearer.
Take million and q half of little
black marks, put them in certain
order, and we have awondrous result
Darwin's Descent of Man. This book
merely consists of about 1900, 900 let
tiers, placed one after the other in
certain order. Whatever be the COM
plexity of the ants brain, it is still
hard to believe that it could not be
fully described in 10000 volumes,
each as large as Darwin's work. Yet
the number of molecules in the ants
brain is at least 400, 900 times as great
as the number of letters in the memoir

SCROFULA

and all scrofulous diseases, Sores, Erysipe-
las, Eczema, BIotches, Ringworm, Tu-
mors, Carbuncles, Boils, and Eruptions
of the Skin, are the direct result of an
impure state of the blood.
To cure these diseases the blood must be
purified, and restored to healthy and ma
tural condition. AYERS SARsAPARILLA has
for over forty years been recognized by emf
nent medical authorities as the most pow
erful blood purifier in existence. 1t frees
the system from all foul humors, enriches
and strengthens the blood, removes all traces
of mercurial treatment, and proves itself
complete master of all scrofulous diseases.
A Recent Cure of Scrofulous Sores.
"Some months ago l was troubled with
scrofulous sores ulcers on my legs, The
limbs were badly swollen and inhamed. and
the sores discharged large quantities of
offensive matter. Every remedy l tried
failed, until L used AYERS SARsAPARILLA,
of which L have now taken three bottles
with the result that the sores are healed,
and my general health greatly improved.
i feel very grateful for the good your
medicine has done me-.
Yours respectfully, Mrs. ANN 0'BRTAN.'

of this lady, but in his own case and

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Herald says that there are 1896 actors on
the road. The expenses for car fares,
hotels, salaries, etc., foot up yearly
total of $13. 08l. 900, which must be taken
in at the box Office before there is any
profit. It is doubtful whether that
amount is realized. The question natur-
ally arises: "On what does the manager
live2" to which the now historic reply of

turning at Newport, arrived at his home
in this city last night. After retiring
he dreamed that the telephone bell
rang, and he stepped to the instrument
to reply. He put the cup to his ear
and called Hello, central. What's
the matter? Be you all asleepp" Just
then the clock in his room commenced
striking, which caused the young man

Take the old ballads of any people,

bilious young writer must produce
something like this: "a hard, fiendish
laugh, scornful and pitiless, forced it's
passage from his throat through the
lips that curled in mockery at her APP

and gush and whirlwind of Sorrowing
agony burst forth in her irresistible
