Waddington, French ambassador, presid-
ing at . dinner in London to aid the French
hospital, welcomed the sentiment of the
lord mayor Of Loadon that cordialit7 be-
tween France and England should ever be
preserved. He spoke strongly in favor of a
closer knitting between the two countries
of the bonds of peace and good will, which
were SO IMPORTANT to their interests and
those Of the world. A rupture of relations
between them, he said, would be a calamity
beyond conception. All their recent quar-
res were transient. It was then, the duty
of civilization and humanity to maintain
gooi feeling. He knew that was the ssnti-
ment OF leading statesmen of England and
France.

Two Rich Mems Ha bits.

Somehow, very rich men never seem
to have merry hearts. | saw Wander
bilt the other day out at johnny Bar
rvs the well.known roadside house
near Macomb's Dam bridge. He was
sitting gloomily in a corner surround
ed by his toadies, who giggled and
cackled at every sad joke he essayed
and applauded every horsey dictum
that fell from his lips. The dingy
room, the vulgar surrounding and the
prevailing air OF sordidness made the
group very suggestive one. Fortu-
nately for the great millionaire, he
has one su ubstantial pleasure. Though
picture buyer, he knows and cares
little for him, and for art. Books have
no charm for him, and for what is
called society he has y distinct and
positive aversion. But in everything
that pertains to the horse he takes de-
light. Some of the sporting newspa-
pers refer to him questions 10 answer,
which with correctness, involves much
horse lore. His solutions are CAREFUL
ly written out, and it is evident that
he has spent time and thought in their
preparation. To be sure, horse fancy
ing, pure and simple, is not an enno-
bling amusement; but rich man who
has this means of diversion may be
said to be more fortunate than those
who have no pleasure in life but in
piling up dollars.
Jay Gould, on the other hand, has
taken pains to tell people long since
that he played at money-making for
the mere pleasure Of the thing. But
Gould is man familiar with books,
and has had very good education.-
He is said to have good library, ma
uy of his books being rare, scarce, and
valuable As he is what is known as
"a domestic man. presume that his
private life is probably far happier
than that of any other of our million
aires. The sages say that riches hard
en- mans heart. Nevertheless, if I
were expecting great public benefac-
tion in the interests of the liberal arts
from a millionaire | would bet on Jay
Gould rather than on W. H. Wander

Good Manners.

Good manners are among the great.
est charms a person can possess, and
everybody should cultivate them, es-
pecially young people. They are some
thing money cannot purchase, for
there is but one way OF obtaining
them, and that is by habitual prac-
tice. ,.lg r. sja.. ra.
We know good mother who used
to say:
always use good manners at home,
and then when you go among stangers
you need never be alarmed. for it will
be perfectly natural to be polite and
respectful '''
This is true, and we have always
thought that the best way to do any.
thing right was to get into the habit
of doing it right.
Hardly anything is of more corse.
quencc than good manners and polite.
ness in a boy or girl. They render
those who possess them favorites with
their relations and friends, and pre-
possess strangers toward them. Po-
liteness costs nothing, and at the same
time is of the greatest value.

He Had Enough of It.

Will Hampton, of the Cincinnati
Merchant Traveller, once clerked in
st. Louis hardware store in the day
time, and spent the greater portion Of
the night in broodlng over the woes
with which his life was frau2ht. He
once discovered that his landlady had
contracted the painful habit of send
ing to the store for everything, from
a tack hammer to a refrigerator, and
having them charged to his account;
thus, when pay day arrived. the cash.
ier always had to hunt around. for u
nickel to pay him off with.
. At last he rebelled, sought the pres.
ence of the landlady, and said, earn
estly:
Mrs. Smith, on divers occasions I

versity and loaned you my umbrella,

child opt of the well twice, and the

my soul revolts, and assume the garb
of war.

expense, the time has come for us to

..YEH'S CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgatiye Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, viii
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tons, where a mild but seffectual
cathartic is required.
