Smoking rs a Gentleman.

There is no one thing, perhaps, in
which the difference between the we'll
bred man and the ill-bred man more
appears than in the manner in which,
the place where, and the tine when
they smoke. The well-bred man does
not smoke, nor does he seem to smoke,
to show off, whereas the ill-bred man
very often smokes In q self-conscious
manner that seems to say: Look at
me! see how skilfully my lips hold this
cigar; how / can shift it from one side
of my mouth to the other without touch
ing it with my fingers, and how well L
can articulate with it in my mouth in
short, look you what perfect control /
have over my labial muscles, and,
having seen, admirep In short, there
are many low-bred young men-very
many-that appear to smoke only to
display observation-disclosures and
skill, when, in fact, in smoking as they
do, where they do, and when they do,
they but publish their vulgarity. Such
men are certainly not of the sort that
Shakespeare accuses of having vault
ing ambition" AS they smoke chiefly
for show, a poor cigar answers their
purpose as well as a good one; con-
sequently, they usually buy of the kind
that are sold at the rate of two tor q
cent.
The well bred man, on the contrary,
the gentleman, the man that smok 8
only for the love of it, puts but as much
of his cigar in his mouth as is necessary
in order to draw it, keeps it in his
mouth no longer than is necessary, and
never fails to remove it when he talks,
or passes any one toward whom he
would be respectful, especially lady.
Further, our best-bred men never smoke
in any street at an hour when it is
much frequented, nor in any public
place where smoking is likely to be
offensive to others.-"The Mentor" by
Alfred Ayres.

Wonders Of Plant Life.

Lord Lindsay states that in the
course of his wanderings amid the pyra-
mids of Egypt, he stumbled on a num-
my, proved by its hieroglyphics to be
at least 1000 years old. In examining
the mummy after IL was unwrapped, he
found in one of its closed hands tuber-
Gus root. He took it from the mummy's
hand, planted it in sunny soil, allowed
the rains and dews of heaven to descend
upon it, and in the course of few
weeks, to his establishment and Joy the
root burst forth, and bloomed into a
beauteous dahlia-
The roots of many plants retain their
vitality under intense temperature.
Those of the viter ag1lats cdstrus will
not be affected though immersed in
boiling water, and boiling water may be
applied to many others without their
sustaining injury. Certain plants also
may by their roots absorb some poisons
which would be destructive to others.
The longevity of the spores of ferns
is well known. Some have grown when
taken from herbarium specimens after
having been gathered many years. A
recent writer, Mayer, says he has had
them grow at twenty years; but he be-
ieves this is about the limit. 1t is now
known that pollen has also O surpris-
ingly long lease of life.
A remarkable instance of confirm ned
vitality of seeds has just come to light
in Greece. In cleaning away the ref
use from the ancient silver mines of
Laurium, lage number of seeds were
found, unknown to modern science, but
described in the writings of Pliny. The
seeds took root, budded and blossomed,
bearing beautiful yellow flowers after a
burial of at least 1900 years.
Somewhere in the State of Maine q
few years ago, we'll was dug, the
earth, which was thrown out from a
great depth, being left on the surface
Of the ground. The followin spring,
strange vegetable growths made their
appearance, unknown in that part of
the country. Who can tell for how
many ages the seeds had slept in their
deep, dark beds?

Mourning for the Dead.

There are few things in which men
and women show themselves SO ir-
rational as in prolonged and consum-
ing grief for the dead. 1t is not in
human nature to be philosophic when
the earth has closed over one we love,
but to nourish agony of remembrance
and sorrow is nearly an abdication of
reason itself. The God who orders our
births orders likewise our deaths. All
must die. To die is as common and as
natural as to live. Being common,
universal, certain, it cannot be an evil.
Those who have gone before, however
long their days, seem to have lived and
vanished as creatures of an hour, so
that even over the death of the young
we should not lament at the seeming
untimelessness of their taking off. 1t
is indiscreet to assume that the death
of the young is q peculiar calamity and
hardship. How can we tell what they
have escaped, or de ,ide that they are
not singularly fortunate? Who finds
life such an unmixed blessing as to
grieve long over the translation of those
who are yet innocent and happy TO
serener spheres? IL is vain and un-
availing to grieve at what has hap
pened and cannot be altered. It does
no good to the dead and it INJURIES the
living. 1t is also mutiny against the
Presiding Judge of us all. To honor
the dead Alright is to cherish fondly the
memory of good dispositions and deeds,
and make that memory guide for our
own spiritual attainments. This is
Al IL n
memorials, or devouring pangs of fruit
less woe. The ancient world never
clothed death with the terrors which
came in with the church OF the middle
ages. Who grieves forever has no faith
in reunion. Such tears silently pro-
claim the fear of annihilation, the
despair that forgets God.-Pittsbsirgh
Telegraph Chronicle.

There dwelt, in far Cathay. q man
rich in gold, silver, and lands; he had
two sons. The mother had long been
sleeping meath the roses and lilies. Al
length the father fell sick, and his two
sons gathered around his dying couch
to receive his parting blessing. To the
eldest son he gave all his possessions,
except small. rocky piece Of ground,
containing few acres, which he gave
to his youngest son.
After the last sad rites were paid 70
the departed father, the youngest son,
crest-fallen and detected, turned to his
poor Inheritance; but he found it SO
barren and unfruitful that he left il
and became a wanderer in the land. AT
length, weary and foot-sore, he came to
ripping brook, where with its crystal
waters he quenched his thirst; and
meath the friendly willow he laid him
self down to rest. The fragrance OF
the flowers, and the soft murmur of the
brook lulled him to sleep. During his
rest beautiful water-nymph came to
him and said: take the bulbs of the
flowers which grow so plentifully
around you to your home, plant them
in the rocks, tend them we'll and you
shall have your reward
He awoke with a start, looked around
for the nymph he had seen in his dream,
but she was gone. He arose, laughed
at his dream and started on his journey,
but his dream so haunted him that he
turned and went back, gathered the
bulbs and laden with them returned to
his home, planted and watered them
well and screened them from the rays
of the scorching MONDAY sun.
His companions gazed at him In
amazement, and said among themselves
"Surely no good can come from these
senseless roots" But he, continued
his care of them, and was at last re-
warded for all his labor by seeing the
fower-buds make their appearance.
And as the Chinese New Year APP.
preached, what year ago was but 9
bare and rocky knoll, now appeared to
be a fairy table spread with snowy
saucers and golden cups filed with
creamy pollen.
Now young and old came in throngs
to buy the lovely flowers for their New
Years festival. At the close of the
day, in beholding his harvest, he felt
amply rewarded for his trouble.
In every Chinese dwelling, however
humble. you find the narcissus growing
in dish of stones, and if they blossom
before the dawn of their New Year, il
is considered a good omen. And to
this day the narcissus, or Chinese lily,
is their favorite flower.

THE common tradition that the timber
of old churches was frequently of chest
nut seems to have been exploded by the
researches of the French chemist, M.
Payer, who procured a large number of
pieces for examination, and pronounced
that they were not chestnut, added to
which chestnut trees, whatever their
abundance in old times, are now ex-
tremely rare. We are told that if let
tiers are drawn upon oak and chestnut
planks, by means of pure sulphate of
iron dissolved in distilled water. the
characters appear at once N black upon
the oak and in deep violet upon the
chestnut, while ammonia produces a
short-lived red upon the chestnut, which
is much paler and less distinct upon
the oak. Another mode of examination
is by making sections of the wood,
which cannot we'll be mistaken, as
chestnut timber possesses only con-
centric layers, while all French and
American varieties Of oak show the
medullary rays crossing the woody
fiber from the center across the cir
conference.

When an Indian Battles.

People often wonder why it is tina. q
fieshy Indian is so seldom seen. A
scientist has discovered that it is water
and not food that makes people fat.
Whether this holds good with the noble
red man or not is hard to say, but if an
Indian were to depend on the water he
uses in washing to become fat it is safe
to say that he would be the thinnest
man under the sun. The only time
that an Indian ever gets bath is when
he rides his pony across q stream or gets
tipped out of boat.-Peck's Sun.
