BETTER THAN GOLD.
Better than gold is . peaceful home,
Whore ali the 6resids ohar.cters come,
The shrine Of love, the heaven Of life.
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
Tho blessings that never were bought or sold
And centre there are better than gold.

And leaves no impress deep or lasting;
Unless tits builded ON belief,
And nurtured oft by prayer and fasting.

Keen Observation.

A man is never SO much impressed
with his wife's power of discernment as
when he goes home drunk and attempts
to play sober. AS a rule, the man has
only taken one drink. He doesn't un-
derstand why one drink should make
him drunk, but after while he
acknowledges that he did take two
drinks, but the last one was SO small
that he had forgotten it.

She Never Cooked.

A handsome, young, and wealthy
married woman was visiting at New
port lady's residence, where was also
visiting an elderly married woman, who
endeavored to put on an elephant-load
of style. Indeed, and L must go
home" said the young visitor; IL must
get supper this evening"" "And can
you cook?" supposedly asked the old
'un. "Oh, yes; mother taught us all
how to cook" why, you don't tell
me! Do you believe it, never cooked
meals victuals in my life" Just
then the old servant-woman came into
the room from the kitchen, and, seeing
the elderly married woman, ran to her,
grasped her by the hand, and cried out ::
We'll, declare to gracious! Molly,
is this you? Faith, and 1 haven't laid
me eyes on we since me and you used
to work at the hotel in Cincinnati!

A Fact I'm Heredity.

Once more the force of heredity has
been illustrated in our city police
courts. A young man who had robbed
his employer of $50 and subsequently
made restitution, and presented letters
in his behalf by those who had known
him to be honest formerly, was let off
with light sentence. During the pro-
ceedings it was discovered that the
young man was the son of q noted
burglar alias "Goody," who had been
able to conceal his criminal name, life,
and record from his wife and children.

A detective sat on railing on Madi-

people passing to and fro. The de-
toctive appeared to be in thoughtful

by very slight nod and sudden
dropping of the eye. He was we'll

I'll tell you what 1 think, nevertheless.

finally he handed out big pile of let

q large Wholesale house, which deals in
goods similar to those he had with him.

With that he caved in all of sudden,
and began to cry and beg to be let off.
He said he had an old mother and q

Vanderbilt's Treasure.Vault.

/ stood the other day in the vault of
the formidable fortress OF iron and
masonry on Forty-sec ond street, where
last year the richest nabob in the world
locked up his $500, 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. Its foundations were
blasted cut 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. The beams,
Orders. and main pillars are iron, in
cased in fireproof material. The doors,
window frames, 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 proportions, and
is situated on tho ground fosr. It's
four oHter doors weigh 5000 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-
stitutcs 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. i suppose
that hundred men in this building,
with Gatling guns, could easily defend
it against mob of 100000 assailants;
it could be reduced by nothing less
than the continued play of heavy artil-
lery. 1t may be year since Wander
bilt, then worth" S200,000,0 900, put
the larger part of his possessions in the
vault. He could not, perhaps, put
more than 5000, 100000 under guard
here at that time, but he has added
over 81, 900, 900 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, 600 in
his great iron vault behind walls five
feet thick. John SiUinton's Paper.

A Good Opportunity.

The deacon had been threatening to
repair that well-curb for the last thir-
teen years, but something had always
occurred to prevent. He was not,
therefore, greatly surprised one day
when the boards gave way as he was
hauling up the bucket, and he found
himself going for the bottom. He
bumped around spell, lodged the
bucket as it followed after, and finally
brought up in good shape with his feet
under him, and the water up to his chin.
The well was forty feet deep, and the
house five rods away; but nevertheless,
the deacon called his wife by name
about 6,000 times before he got tired
of playing on that string, and began
abusing her relatives clear back for
seven generations. He had dropped
this and was threatening to mortgage
the farm and run away with the Widow
Taylor, when his wife appeared at the
well and called out Deacon, are you
down there?" "Of course / am, and

Training in the Art Of Teaching.

A successful school for the training
of young women in the act of teaching
Is in operation in Dcs Moines. They
are put into actual school-room work
and required TO discipline and instruct
In accordance with the principles of the
"new education" and under the con-
slant criticism and control of one of the
best primary workers in the State.
Three rooms have been set apart for
this young school, and two young
teachers have been assigned TO each
room. While one is teaching, the other
is studying the best books on the his
tory and science Of education, and dur
ing about half the time is present, pen
Gil in hand, noting all violations of
Pestalozzian principles, all faulty
methods, every petulant infection of
the voice, disregard of poor department
or anything else which would in;uTe II
teachers influence upon the school.
These criticisms arc read and discussed
by the training teacher and tho young
women at the close of tho session, and
prove a strong incentive to tho correc-
tion of errors and the establishment of
better methods. In the study of the
history and science of education, q COM
plete and appreciative mastery Of q few
well-chosen books is preferred to n
more extensive and necessarily mere
hasty perusal of the many excellent
works now accessible: and every mem
ber of the training class is thoroughly
examined by the principal of the high
school or Hle superintendent On the
subject matter of the books required in
the course. -NeaC York Tribune.
