Wise Words

Do not speak of your happiness to a
less fortunate man than yourself.
There is class of men ever ready
to pump you to any extent, if you only
give them handle
Independence and self-respect are es-
sential to happiness, and these are new
er to be attained together without
work.
You may safely commit the child's
clothes to the servant, but the rest of
the little one you had better take care
of yourself.
Smiles are the higher and better re-
sponses of nature to the emotions of
the soul. Let the children have the
benefit of them.
1t is little troubles that wear the
heart out. 1t is easier to throw bomb
shell mile than festher-even with
artillery.
Nothing is so dangerous as that self
sufficiency which comes from compar-
ing ourselves with companions who are
inferior to us.
Mental pleasures never clog, unlike
those of the body, they are increased
by repetition, approved by reflection,
and strengthened by enjoyment
The world deals good naturedly with
good-natured people; and we never
knew sulky misanthropist who quar-
relied with it, but it was he, and not it,
that was in the wrong.
Good manners declare that their pos
sesor is a person OF superior quality, no
matter what his garb, or however slen-
der his purse. They prove his respect
for himself, and also proves his re-
spect tor those whom he addresses.
When we become exclusively alb
sorbed in one pursuit, however legitl
mate it may be in itself, it draws the
mind and interest away from all other
things, and causes us to neglect them,
though some OF them may be distinctly
defined duties as itself.

The Law all on Both Sides.

"Mr. Lawyer, l want to ask you a
question: said countrymsn with a
bandage about his head, to one of our
most honorable lawyers.
Eyes, sir; take seat. What is the
nature of the case y
"Waal, eff you wer huntin' on your
naber's premises an he'd tell you to git
off or he'd knock you off, and you
wouldn't go, and then he'd try to knock
you off, could ye bring suit agin' him
for tryin to knock you off I"
The lawyer then looked at the band

in an emphatic way
"Most assuredly; and collect heavy
damages

Pearls of Thought.

A little kindness goes good ways.
God pitics where mortals only blame.
1t is foolish to be obstinate over tri.
hes.
Few things are impossible to dill
geuce and skill
Faith is the medium between despair
and presumption.
II is not SO difficult to know ones
self as to confess the knowledge.
Each departed friend is magnet
that attracts us to the next world.
The serene, silent beauty of holy
life is the most powerful influence in
the world.
No fault can be as bad as the feel
ing which is quick to see, and speak of
the faults of others.
One of the best rules in conversation
is never to say anything that any one
present can wish unsaid.
Fully to understand a grand and
beautifulthought, requires perhaps as
much time to conceive it.
We should never wed an opinion for
better or for worse; what we take upon
good ground we should lay down upon
better
A cheerful way of talking will soon
chase away gloomy feelings in our
own minds, and we all know how in
spring to us are such words from
another.
1t is a mistake to suppose great
mind is inattentivc to trifes, its capa-
city and compre hension enable it to
embrace everything.

What Is Made from Paper.

One Of the most remarkable uses to
which paper has been put of late years
is the manufacture of zylonite, a sub
stance which at the will of the manu-.
facturer may be made in imitation of
horn, rubber, ivory, tortoise shell, am
Der and even glass. The uses to which
zylonite are adaptable are almost inf
mite. but perhaps the most extraordinary
is the manufacture of cathedral win
dows. The discovery was made about
fifteen years ago, but it was only with
in the last two years that company
has been formed for its manufacture.
The basis of zylonite is plain white
tissue paper made from cotton or cot
ton and linen rags. The paper is treat
ed first to q bath of sulphuric and 9th
er acids, undergoing chemical change.
The acid is then carefully washed out
and the paper treated with another
preparation of alcohol and camphor, as
snmlng an appearance very much like
parchment. 1t is then capable of be-
ing worked up into plates of any thick
ness, rendered almost perfectly trans.
parent, or given any of the brilliant
colors that silk will take. 1t is much
more flexible than either horn or ivory,
and less brittle. Combs or other arti-
cles made of it in imitation of tortoise
shell are said to be so perfect as to de-
ceive the eye of the most practiced
workman in that substance. The diff
ference in the material can only be
detected by tests.-Indust,i iaI Nelos.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Soft hay makes strong wool.
Strong meadows fill big barns.
Flush pastures make fat stock.
Fat pastures make fat pockets.
Sweet pastures make sound butter.
The fattening hogs will relish few
small potatoes.
The farmer who lets everything go
to waste about him will generally be
one who complains that "farming don't
pay
One of the hardest Of all crops ''to
raise in the financial sense, is mort
gage, but it is easy to plant. The less
one plants of mortgage the better.
The adage (aud it is older than the
Christian era,) no grass, no cattle, no
cattle no manure, no manure no crops,
is as true to day as when first spoken.
Hay water is a great sweetener OF
tin, wooden and iron ware. In Irish
diaries everything used for milk is
scalded with hay water. Boil hand
full of sweet hay in water, and put in
the vessel when hot
Whenever farmer gets labor-sav-
ing implement for himself, let him
think if something to save hi, wife
from Kitchen labor cannot also be Sc
cured. If so, he might postpone the
day of his widower-hood.
An orchard which is 80 large that
manure cannot be had with which to
fertilize it is seldom profitable part of
the farm. 1t pays to raise only so
many trees as one can raise well. We
occasionally hear of good farmers cut
ting down part of their orchard SO
that they can put more manure and
more attention on the remainder.
The wild hawthorn which are every
where common makes excellent hedges
but they are attacked by the apple tree
borer, and are therefore unsafe TO
plant. 1t is even doubtful if they
should be tolerated as ornamental trees.
They are so nearly related TO the culti-
waited apple that insects which attack
one plant will usually attack the 9TH

Talking to Millions,

An improved telephone has been
placed in Dr. Talmage's church in
Brooklyn, to enable admirers of that
clergy man who cannot attend his dis
courses to hear his words in their own
distant homes. This is new inven
tion, not yet patented, and it may not
be entirely successful at first but all
who are familiar with all the possibili-
ties OF the telephone unite in declaring
that speaking, singing, and instrumen-
tai music will in time be heard in one i
own home with almost as much salts
faction as in the halls where the
speakers, singers, or performers exer-
cise their several gifts. Time was
when the orator was everything, and
the writer of little account, out the in
vention of printing made it possible to
multiply books without number, while
the speaker was necessarily confined to
the few thousands his voice could
reach. But in the whirligig of time
the orator and preacher threaten to
WELD greater influence than the wri.
ter does now. The Beecher of the fu.
ture, by means of the telephone, will
speak TO millions, while the PATHS and
Maternas will thrill their melodies, no,
alone in vast halls, but in hundreds OF
thousands of homes throughout the
country. What an education it will be
to the masses when the gifted lecturer
and preacher in the distant city can be
heard in every hamlet in the country
The great cities will no longer have +;
monopoly of the noblest strains of mu
sic, for the telephone can communicat,
them to the poorest as well as to tn,
richest lovers of music. AS yet tn,
telephone transmits only a muffie,
sound but experts say there is no rea
son why the distant echo may not b,
made AS resonant as the voice from tn
speakers lips,-Demorest.
