We sometimes say we are going to
turn over new leaf, and lead diff
erent and better life. A very fine
idea indeed in fact it is the most ex-

New Year is the very best time to
start putting it into practice. But
you a0iH not do il. Now mind, If you
do not get outside Of yourself for a

would have brought you, aud the IN.

crossed this line, and it is very easy
matter to do this. To begin, it res

up your little set of rules, read them
frequently and unsparpgly, and if you
fail in point to-day, you will be all
the stronger in that same point TO-

amounts to absolutely nothing, Il is

EXPLOSIVE DUST.

A well-Defned Belief That Coal Dust is
the Cause of Colliery Explosions.
Explosions in flour mills have had in
numerous instances a well-ascertained
cause in the presence Of an impalpable
dust floating in the interior of the mill.
This dust, mixed with heated air in
confined and unventilated spaces, has
taken fire, whether from a match care
lessly struck, from a lamp or from
sparks emitted by the machinery, and
when thus ignited has proved as de-
%structive as gunpowder. But the the
DRY that q similar eau may exist for
explosions in collieries is a compare
lively new one, and owes it's rise to the
marked resemblance between flour mill
explosions-notably those which oc-
cured at Minneapolis some time ago
and the disasters of like character
which SO often take place in coal
mines, and are attended with such pc
culiar and distressing fatality. The
suggestion of an identity Of cause IN
these two classes of casualties has led
to numerous experiments in England
and On the continent of Europe; and
the results have been such as to lead to
a well-defined belief that coal dust, in
stead of the carburated hydrogen gas
commonly known as tire-damp, is the
principal source of colliery explosions
1t was found that the dust of certain
kinds of coal was highly explosive,
while that of other varieties showed
less liability, and some none at all, but
that ever where tire-damp was the chief
source of the disaster it was greatly ag-
gravated by the presence of coal dust.
The experiments were made by English,
French and Prussian scientists, and the
English and Prussian reports agree
substantially in the conclusion that
coal dust is the principal agency in
colliery explosions. So generally is
this view adopted in England that a
%coroner's jury, in their verdict upon
the Usworth Mine explosion, by which
some forty lives were lost, declared it
as their opinion that ''the explosion
was caused by a shot, the fire of which
acted upon the coal dust and a small
percentage of gas" The French OBJ
servers are inclined to doubt whether
coal dust alone is liable to explode,
however fine or highly heated: but
they admit that it increases the de-
structive effect of a tire-damp explo-
sion.-London Pail Mall Gazette.

paving their city customers what is
due thcm?" !
..Sometimes they do. I know of sew
eral cases where contracts have been
deliberately broken after it was found
that they were unfavorable to the bank.
On MAY IS, at 1890 a. M, Mr.. Wright
sold one hundred shares of Lackawanna
stock through the telephone to a pubs
lie stock exchange. The transaction
was called back as accepted. The con-
tract was closed at eleven a. M, with
a profit to Nh. Wright of seventy-five
dollars. At 1l:45 the telephone bell
rang, and he was politely informed that
his contract had not been accepted.
He applied to the manager for redress,
but did not get it. There have been
other eases where customers presenting
winning tickets at the cashiers window
in 'bucEet-shops' have received back
their original investments only, with
no explanation whateyer. There are
probably fifty thousand shares of stock
dealt in daily through the bucket
shops in this city,
Timothy waited to hear no more
about 'bucket-shops." He prevailed
upon Rose to return with him to their
country home, and there, amid the
lilacs and snowballs the young couple
roam contentedly, dreaming not of
stock speculations, but of love, of mar
riase, and of the broad piece of meadow
land which is to come to Rose as a we'd
ding gift from Farmer Blossom.-M Y.

The end or object of all Divine CON-

OF himself. Love is the all-inclusiye
grace that makes men Christ-like. #
includes both the sentiment of love to
God and man, and the conduct which if
prompts. Therefore, it is ''rhc end of

LAWN TENNIS.
The Remarkable Antiquity of a Very Popu-
lar Game.

The Remarkable Antiquity of a Very Popu-
lar Game.
Ages ago the III saw the beginnings
Of tennis. 1t is not quite certain
whether it was on the banks of the
Nile or the Ganges, or at Nineveh; but
somewhere this same sun saw a group
ofhalf-naked, bronze-limbed youngsters
throwing balls or dried gourds back
and forth, using their hands for bats,
and doubtless having quite as much
fun, after a barbarous fashion. as we
have nowadays with cork-handled
Franklin rackets, regulation balls, and
a set of printed rules.
Generations rolled by, however, be-
fore the pioneers of tennis had them
selves carved on stone slabs, and still
other ages before Gordian III. and
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus had coins
struck, in honor of the Pythian Apollo,
bearing devices which represented
athletes serving and returning balls,
and using their hands as rackets.
Even at that early day it was found
desirable to protect the hand by means
of gauntlets, but it was not until the
fourteenth century, so far as can be
ascertained, that bats or rackets were
invented. and the game grew into some
thing no altogether unlike that which
is played to-day.
The regular tennis court of the mid
die ages was a very elaborate affair,
with divisions and galleries and rail
ings and penthouse roofs" and a
carefully laid stone pavement, all OF
which made it a very costly game to
play, and only Kings and the richest
of the nobility could have tennis courts
of their own. These courts need not
be described here, but they were not
unlike the lawn courts of to-day in size
and shape. At first there was a line
stretched across the middle; then a
fringe was added to this line, and by
the beginning OF the last century ca.
d. 1900 the net was adopted much as
at present used.
The method of counting, too, was
not unlike that followed in our mod
ern lawn TENNIS Charles L. Norton,

KNEE DEEP.

They are calling "knce deep! len aeep!"

Down by the bank, where the rank sword

Like an army of s~ilversmiths, forging bells

And, keeping time to a rhyme, they work
thrO' the summer nights.
tStcadily up from their Swampy forge, the
sparks of the tire-tlieS rise
In the pools where the wading lilies make
love through half-shut eyes
To the whippoorwill who sco.ds, like a shrew,

While the nighthawk shuf1es by, like a monk

And the bat weaves inky wcft, thro' the

United States Minister keiley's Idea of
the Complaint.
You have travelled made the grand
tour-"rendered a tribute unto sea,
sir When, therefore, l pour out my
stor-1 mean sorrows-into your car,
l expect compassion and am assured Of
sympathy. The immortal genius who
announced that ''pins have saved the
lives of millions of men by not swallow
ing them," discovered a new world of
truth, but mis7ed the illustration. The
sea. he should have said, is the great
source of human happiness-by keep
ing away from it.
l am a punctual man. My virtues
being few, l cultivate them assiduously;
and, therefore, I am at Hoboken,
whence the Hamburg steamers start,
about an hour before the Wieland was
to leave.
At last the lines were cast off, and,
amid the shouts and good wishes of a
crowded wharf, we steamed down
North River and out into the Narrows.r
Soon the lunch-bell rang and we gaily
tripped to the well-filled table. My
friend, [ shall never look upon Bolog-
ma sausage again with respect. Before

Being by professional habitude accus-
toned to give every criminal the benefit

and bolted Bologna. l Shall never for,
get the moment when next | looked
upon the Bologna. An ocean of wretch
edness, wider and deeper than the
ocean OF nasty brine, enveloped me-
and nothing in the sausage's life so be-
came it as the leaving of me. I was like
the consort OF a bad sponge-wretched
with 1t; as wretched when it departed.
The evils of the internal complaint

RELIGIOUS READING.
EVER WELL.

IT'S ever we'll with those who know
Gods tender love, His ceaseless care,
How day by day He leads them SLOW
Meath clouded skies and sunlights glare.
To know He leads them-that is all.
And when through desert sands they tread,
Bold they advance, nor fear to fall.
While His bright star shines overhead.
They dwell in tents of pilgrimage
Like those who seek their rest afar,
And many a onfic dire they wage,
With many 4 triumph, many a scar.
Yet since they have this radiant hope,
A home eternal in the skies
The guidance of the Lord they serve,
TIL word OF Him who never dies
They can not doubt, they can not fears;
And while in earthly homes they dwell,
Their hearts are bright with Heavenly cheer,
And with them it IS ever well.
