Potentially of the Human Mind.
[Dr. Paxton in New York Tribune.l

The potentialities of the human mind
are something which a perfect environ
ment alone can develop. Every man has
some good in him The real mischief
of life is that we predicate of the whole of
human character what is true only of a
fractional part The result is that two
biographies are possible of every man, the
one eulogy, the other a defamation.
Wholesale condemnation is a illogical as
it is absurd. AS the author is greater than
his book, so the man of genius is greater
than his whim. Because Johnson would
not enter a room except with his left foot
foremost, or Marshal SAKE abide the pres
ence of cat, or Augustus Caesar the
reverberation of thunder-they are not,
therefore. to be relegated to the coterie of
fools. They are simply to be turned lit
tie, and at the proper angle we will see
the divinity in each.

A Prospective Calico Boom.
Detroit Free Press.l

Henry NJ. Stanley, the explorer, has
been calculating what the effect on the
calico trade would be if the people of the
Congo, who are now clothed chiefly in
sunshine, can be induced to wear
that if every inhabitant of the Congo
basin should have one Sunday dress every
year more than 800 600, 900 yards of cot
ton cloth or calico would be required; if
two Sunday and four every day dresses
were used the enormous total of $500, =
900. 900 yards, of the approximate value
of $50. 600. 006 would be required. He
estimated that a trade of $4,000 600 an
nually could be secured, and said that it
was the easiest matter in the world to in
duce Africans to wear cotton, when the
basin of Congo would be more profitable
to England than even India.

Our Opium Eaters.
Inter Ocean Interview.

Americans constitute about IS per cent
of the opium eaters. This may be ac-
counted for in more than one way. The
Germans and Irish find relief from their
troubles in the anesthetic effect of beer
or whisky, while the American prefers an
agent WI Sc effects, while equally power
full, do not at first incapacitate him from
business. Besides this consideration there
is another: Americans, and those for
eigners who become AmericaniZed, are
more highly neurasthenic, that is. their
nervous systems are such that they bear
their pain badly and demand relief.

Profanity Among Women.

More women swear than is generally
supposed They try to be alone when
they indulge in this sort of relief, and,
therefore, proof against them is hard to
obtain Many husband would be aston
ished if he could hear some of the ex-
pressions that once in a while escape his
wife in moments of severe domestic trial.
Few women begin with regular swear
words. They become profane gradually
When woman begins to say "confound
It" and "durn it, let any person over
hearing her administer at once strong
caution. From these comparatively limo
cent outbursts may grow round, plump
oath that will get fatter and fatter, and be
followed by others, until the poor woman
becomes as bad as her husband. Let all

scending the hill.
While doing this Mr.. Carter became entang-

'the bulwarks by the shore and the fort on the

shadows of behring's oaks" the islands that

everything in the scenery of "the beautiful
town that is seated by the sea" owes its prnci-
pal charm to the fact that it has been set in
the transparent amber of his verse.
Besides this local gift, which the memory

the place of his birth, the whole country,
whose legends he has tranformed, whose seem
cry he has described, the heroic action of
whose brave men he has celebrated, owes him

its appointments, there is bleak rawness
about it that affects and depresses. 1t has
