PATHS CiaAgrin.

A German paper tells II good story
of how Patti made mistake in Paris
some years ago.
She was called upon at il private en-
t.rtainment, to which she had been in
vited, to sing Il couple Of songs. She
did So and the company overwhelmed
her with praise.
Next morning the gentleman who
had given the entertainment sent her a
magnificent pair of diamond earrings.
They were worth not less than 5000
francs.
The prima donna expressed her
thanks in note, for the present, but
she added a postscript to the effect that
he had omitted to enclose her 5000
francs, which was her regular price for
singing at private entertainments. The
gentleman was very much shocked, but
he got even with her reatly. He went
to jeweler, and bought another pair
of earrings for eighty francs. He sent
his servant to the diva with these cheap
earrings, and a check for the amount
she claimed. The servant SAID
my master received your note this
morning, and he finds your demand
perfectly reasonable Here is a check
for it. He also sends you a pair OF ear
rings, but those which left here yes
terday were intended for another per-
son. They were sent you by mistake.
Will YOU have the kindness to return
them, and overlook the mistake.
Patti saw too late that she had made
q faux-pas. With face as red as fire
she returned the magnificent diamonds.
but she sighed heavily as the servant
put them under his arm and went oil
with them.

Why Life is SO Slsorr..

DR.. Hitchcock, says the Boston Her.
aid, who is believed to be the professor
of atheletics at Amherst College, an
swers the question, why we live no
longer, by showing that we are con-
suming our energies as people at such
a rate that the physical and mental
work which used to be distributed
through 70 years is now substantially
accomplished at 40. Mems heads are
prematurely bankrupt; their stomachs
are worn out; their hearts, kidneys and
muscles are overworked; and then as If
to put y climax upon the present plan,
he says: IF the use of tobacco in
creases during the present as it has
during the past twenty-five years, we
shall not only know Of sudden deaths
from heart and brain injuries conse-
quent upon it, but we shall see in the
Anglo Saxon race, men emasculated
and sorely deficient in .1uacular
strength. A lack of control over our
bodily and mental functions is one
reason why we live 40 instead of 70
years" This is plain language, but it
comes to the point. Or. Hitchcock
SAYS of our youth who are allowed to
follow their impulses, and are but par
TALLY checked in their appetites before
manhood or even youth comes on, that
"the tender and growing organs are 50
debascd and abused that a dyscntery,
diphtheria or fever is forced in life and
is forced ont before the natural limit Of
life Again, he alludes to the use of
tobacco by youth to the extent chat all
at once an arteriale in the brain sub
stance breaks open and life is given up
in the teens rather than in the Scores
The records OF our public schools can
be searched to show that the cramming
and overpressure are making terrible
mischief among young girls at the age
when they are least able to bear the
strain. The private remarks of long,
settled clergyman in this city, that he
had buried too many girls from one of
our schools ever to send his daughter
there, makes one open his eyes, In
every direction we are making life
short-by our vices, by our careless use
of physical force, by our pushing hab-
it's, by wrong methods in our public
schools, by the attempt to- get double
portion Of satisfaction out of life as it is
dealt out to us. Boys and girls are
yielded up to death simply because in
the homes of the people there is no one
to teach and compel the young to use
the force Of life moderately.

The Habit OF Waste.

Said a most successful merchant day
OF two since to "A lad who was opening
parcel, young man, unite those
! strings-don't cut them"
1t was the first remark he had made
to a new employee. 1t was the first
lesson for the lad to learn, and it in
volved the principle of success or failure
in his business career. Pointing to a
well-dressed man of thirty years behind
the counter, the merchant said There
is a man who always takes out his scls-
sors and cuts the strings of package
in three or four places. He is a good
salesman, but will never be anything
more. l presume he lives from hand
to mouth, and very likely is always
more or less in debt. The trouble with
him is that he was never taught to save.
I told the boy just now to unite the
string instead Of cutting it, not so much
tor the value of the string as to teach
him that everything must be saved and
nothing wasted. If the idea can be
firmly impressed upon the MIND of u
beginner in life that nothing was made
to be wasted, you have laid the founda-
tion of success.
The moral of this little incident is
self.eviaent. The young man, we'll
brought up, with fair education, SCI ks
employment IN business house. The
habit of waste in little things IS no
ticeable, and becomes draw back on
his value and usefulness to his employ
er. The disregard of saving strings
and paper develops into a carelessness
that runs through all his habits, He
does not get on in the world because he
is wasteful. Small sums of money slip
through his fingers almost unconscious.
", because they are small. He wastes
time by the minute, without thought
Of the old adagc: Take care of the
minutes and the hours will ia ke care of
themselves So
Sitting in the counting room of one
of the oldest and most successful mcr-
chants the other day, we noticed that
he cut off the blank sheet of the letter
he was engaged in filing. The name Of
the man is synonym of charity and
benevolence, and his liberalty in all
good works is almost uubounded. His
attention being called to what seemed
an unusual proceeding, he said
"Yes, it may strike you as singular
to save these half sheets of paper, hut |
commenced life poor boy in country
store, and this was one of the first les
sons in saving little things that was
taught me by my emp loyer. He has
beer, ncarl half century under the
sod but | never do this without think
ing Of the good old man. | believe it
was the secret of my success in life
Thi, saving Of little things does not
imply stingincss or meanness. Its the
habit of saving instead Of simply vast
ing. | is embodied in the motto,
Waste not, want not.
