WISE WORDS.

Behavior is mirror in which everyone
shows his image.
The society of women is the element
of good manners.
The wise men of old have sent most of
their morality down the stream of time
in the light skif of apothegm or epi,
gram.
No woman can be handsome by the
force of features alone, any more than
she can be witty only by the help of
speech.
Strong minds, like hardy evergreens,
are most verdant in winter; when feeble
ones, like tender summer plants, are
leafess.
Right habit is like the channel which
dictates the course in which the river
shall flow, and which grows deeper and
deeper each year.
1t is impossible to make people under
stand their ignorance, for it requires
knowledge to perceive it; and, therefore,
he that can perceive it hath it.
Love seizes on us suddenly, without
giving us time to reflect; our disposition
or our weakness tavors the surprise; one
look, one glance from the fair, fixes and
determines us.
A good memory is the best monument
Others are subject to casualty or time
and we know that the pyramids them
selves, rotting with age, have forgotten
the names of their founders.
The beautiful laws of time and space,
once dislocated by our inaptitude, are
holes and dens. If the hive be dis
turbed by rash and stupid hands, instead
of honS will yield us bees.
Infinite toll would not enable you to
sweep away a mist, but by ascending a
little you may often look over it alto
gether. So it is with our moral improve
ment; we wrestle tiercely with a vicious
Aabit which would have no hold upon us
if we assembled into higher moral at
mosphere
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1884-10-22

We used to think sometimes that Beth
shirked her share Of the work, but she
was the sweetest-tempered creature liv-
ing, and always willing to make amends.
Then we had to hold tight rein on
Kate, who was apt to want luxuries out
of season, at exorbitant prices; and 1
was sometimes trial about cooking, be-
ing absent minded, and apt to burn
things up. As to Mamie, she was never
anything but comfort. We didn't keep
her long, for one day, toward our first
Thanksgiving, there was an unusual
f1utter in. the house. We trimmed the
rooms with flowers, and tied a white
satin ribbon on The Climax; the minis
ter and few friends came in and almost
before we knew it, Mamie and the young
architect had gone off together in hack,
with The Climax wailing in basket on
the front seat.
But this did not break up the society,
for another good friend stood ready to
fill the vacancy, and stepped promptly
in. And did we not find the work too
hard2 Well, sometimes it seemed a
bother, but, divided among four, it was
not oppressive; and if the larder got
empty, or other work pressed, we took
our dinners out for day or two.
And we did not get tired of it, but
after three years trial of the plan, are
more and more satisfied, for it is
home. We leave tin the morning with
regret, and return to it gladly at night,
feeling that it is ours, that we are not
there on sufference, but by right. And
this sense of security and permanently en-
courage us to add comforts and even
luxuries to our surroundings, and think
you might hunt up and down the city
and not find more contented and COM
Portable set of people than the members
of the Home Cooperative society. .-Har-

The Cowboys FavOrite Gun.

I dropped into large store on Ell Paso
street, which enjoys the reputation of
selling more arms than any other house
in the city, writes a correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat. While in
specting the glittering array of pistols of
all kinds which filled half dozen show
cases, young fellow of about twenty
three entered. He was dressed in ap.
proved frontier style, sombrero it would
take three days to walk around the rim
of, white handkerchief tied loosely round
the neck, blue shirt, pants stuck in his
boots, and large Mexican spurs upon his
heels, jingling as he walked. He wished
to buy 'gun." In the expressiveness
and laconic tongue of the frontier o
"gun" is a revolver; a rife is called by
the name of the maker; and the weapon
of the sportsman, uncurtailed of its fair
proportions, is known as a shotgun.
Selecting from the case handsomely
mounted Colts forty-fve calibre revol-
yer, the clerk said: "How would you
like this? 1t is the newest thing out
a double action forty-fve." "Ain't worth
a row of beans No man 'cept he is a
tenderfoot wants that kind of thing.
Give me old reliable all the time. You
see a man that's used to the old style is
apt to get fooled-not pull her off in
time-and then he'll be laid out colder'n
a wedge"
He was handed single-action Colts
of the same model, which, after carefully
examining, he proceeded to cock and
fire, twirling the pistol around his fore
finger and pressing the trigger the mo-
ment the butt came into palm of his
hand. After some little "kick" about
the price the weapon was paid for and
the customer left the store.
"There are few men," observed the
clerk, as his customer left, that can do
that trick. have been ten years on the
Southwest frontier, among the worst
classes, and don't know more nor half a
dozen. Bill the Kid could do it; so
can Pat Garret, former sheriff of Lin
coin county, so can Dan Tucker, deputy
sheriff of Deming Curly Bill could do
it best of the lot, and that's how he
killed Sheriff White at Tombstone.
"How was that2"
"Well, you see Curly Bill was trying
to paint the town ,Utl, and White heard
of it, and going up to him, covered him
with his six shooter, and told him he
had got to give up his gun. Bill handed
the gun out butt first, but kept his finger
inside the guard, and as the sheriff
reached for it he gave it that twist you've
seen, turned her loose, and the sheriff
passed in his checks"

(Which means, " said Kate, " dropping
her official manner, "that we have had
all this good time, and don't owe cent
for anything, and have siK dollars and
seventeen cents apiece coming back to
us !" and she counted out four little piles
of money.
"And coal in the bin, and food in the
larder," added Beth.
The next month we paid five dollars a
week each, and had a surplus, and after
that, four dollars week usually covered
all expenses.
When we started, though we asked no
advice, we had floods of it, and no end
of dismal predictions. "You'n quarrel, 4"
''You'll run in debt" "You'll find the
work too hard, you'll get tired of it, "
and, most dreadful of all, "You'll be
talked about
"Well," said Kate, when this was
brought up, ''if good name in the past,
and orderly living in the future won't
save us, why, let them talk. They must
talk about something, and while we are
under discussion somebody else will es-
cape" So that was disposed of. And
we did not run into debt, and we did
not quarrel. It would be too much to
say that we never differed, but our diff
ferences were never bitter.

Center of Earthquake Trouble.

Though some terrible earthquakes
occur in Europe and Asia, South America
seems to be the center of trouble. In
1912 the city of Caracas, in Venezuela,
was destroyed in three shocks, each of
which did not occupy twenty seconds.
In 1859 the city of Callao was also com
pletely demolished, this being the second
time. The first time a wave came in from
the sea one hundred feet high, and with
out warning burst upon the city. In
1922 an earthquake produced some
strange changes in the Andes. Noun
tains were leveled, others were raised,
and tract of land one thousand miles
square was bodily elevated about seven
feet.
1t has been learned from old records
that the destruction of Herculaneum and
Pompeii was nearly accomplished by an
earthquake sixteen years before the ashes
of Vesuvius covered them from sight.
Biblical records tells us that earthquakes
were felt in Syria in the time of Ahab,
900 BIC, and also in the reign of Uzziah,
800 B. @. In Josephus there is mention
of an earthquake that desolated Judea at
the time of the battle of Actium, 81 B.
c., destroying over 10000 people. An
tioch has been visited by some terrible
scenes. The worst visitation was in 526,
A. D., when over 300, 900 persons were
destroyed. Sixty years later another
shock destroyed go, 200 more.

SELECT sIFTINGs.

The bread eaten at table in Turin is
a yard long and an eighth of an inch In
diameter, of pipe stem form, very crisp,
and exceedingly palatable. 1t is called
'grissini," " after the doctor who invented
it on hygienic principles.
The business of monarchy promotes
longevity. Witness the ages of the fol-
lowing rulers: The emperor of Germany
is eighty-seven; the king of the Neither
lands, sixty seven; the king of Denmark,
sixty-six, and Queen Victoria, sixty-tive.
Church bells from Baltimore foundry
are in demand in England. Already
China, West Africa, Nova Scotia, New
foundland, the West Indies and parts of
South America have drawn upon the
same establishment for its silver-toned
bells.
A great plague, called the "black
DEATH" beginning on the plains of West
ern Asia, swept over Europe during the
years 1348-1351, destroying probably one
third of the whole population. This, by
diminishing the number of people, dou-
bled the price of labor
1t is said that no watch will keep the
same time with two people. This is ow-
ing to the temperature of The wearer,
and it is claimed that even the mere
physical difference in gait and move
ment between different people will affect
the time-ketping of watch, which is
probably also affected in some degree by
the magnetism of the wearer.
An Australian has devised scheme
for bringing down rain to order. The
| concern is in the form of balloon, with
charge of dynamite underneath it. The
balloon is to be sent into the clouds, and
the dynamite is to be fired by a wire
connecting it with the earth. 1t is the
intention of the inventor, it is stated,
to make trial of the apparatus on the
dry districts of New South Wales.
Statistics show that the tendency to
suicide is much greater among the regu-
lar gamblers from losses than among
business men. The sharp strain of the
! gaming-table, short though it may he,
spoils the nerves, and weakens fortitudC
more than the strain of business. Ca
your, one of the most serene of men, wa
within an ace ON one great gambling
night of throwing half his fortune ava.
rather than call card, and only called
it, as he relates himself, because droI
of perspiration rose on his opponent
forehead.
The origin of the trade dollar is thu
explained. The Chinese are paid for thei
tea mainly in silver. In 1878 the United
States coined 35. 200, 900 of the trad
dollars for use in India Previously tn
Mexican dollar had practically monopo
lized the field The American dolla
was heavier and possessed more intrinsic
value, but it was found that for som
mysterious reason the Chinese merchant
preferred the Mexican to the American
coin, fact probably due to their hered
itary dislike of novelties, and now n
trade dollars are shipped to China. TIL
The Chinese heard some years ago, tina
our government intended to redeem
these dollars at par, and being shrewC
enough to see an opportunity for specu
lation, they boarded the coins and sen
them to this country. At all events
they are said to have disappeared i
China as we'll as in this country.

A Cireus Elephant in a Rnge.

Coles huge elephant Sampson severed
his chains at Haley, Idaho, and started
to pulverize his keeper, who made a
hasty retreat A cage Of lions stood in
the way of the infuriated animal, which
he picked up and hurled to one side,
killing two horses. The circus people
called on the crowd to shoot the monster,
and livcly firing began, but without
appreciable effect. Finally a party of
men succeeded in roping the beast and
he was quieted. Thirty bullet holes
were found in his hide. The damage
done by hisa amounted TO $40, 900,
