How difficult it is to break off from
habit which we have followed for
years. The force Of habit becomes
law to them who submit themselves to
it's influence. It controls and governs
their actions in neatly every circum-
stance and condition Of life. If the
habit is one that directs our wsy in the
line of public or private duty, it will
always be well with US, but if the habit
is one that leads us out Of The line of
dAty into forbidden and dangerous
paths, then will it not be well with us.
How careful, Len, should every yonng
person be in the formation Of habit.
The habits of an individual will determ-
iue his character. Bad habits, bad
character is the iEmutable Law. Be
careful, young friend,as to your habits.

British Breeding.


The other day a young and very
pretty woman. with eyes of the kind
supposed to be able to melt the typical
ice, was on the point of stepping into
an omnibus where only one seat was
left. A well-dressed. well-got-up man
of about so pushed her rudely aside as
he sprang up the steps and took the
vacant place At another time, on
coming out of the theater, while the
people were waiting just inside the
door for their carriages and cabs. a
man lighted a cigar and blew the
smoke into the face of lady standing
there with friend. She made a ges-
ture of repugnance, when the man
said, Gentlemen may smoke here"
You may smoke here. but you can
not be gentleman if you dc" said
the lady-one of these not easily put
down.
The annoyances to which young wo-
men travelling alone are often subjected
is again by no means proof that our
politeness is intrinsic. If lady meets
an ordinary young Englishman who
does not know her, she meets someone
who does not hold her worthy of polite
ness, who does not go out of his way
to show her any. If she is pretty be
stares at her. perhaps smiles. perhaps
speaks; if she be of no personal attract
iyeness. and has only her womanhood
as her claim, he leaves her emphatical-
ly to herself. Whatever she may be
about to do-to pass through a door
way, enter railway carriage. or an
omnibus. or a lift, he pushes past her.
though no one is hurried for time, and
lets her follow meekly after. The elder
men are more courteous. They retain
still certain flavor of the stately old
times when manners were part of
gentleman education, and politeness
was one of the points of distinction be-
tween courtier and boor. The Lon

Miss Cleveland's Earlier History.

Lebanon Volks Zeitung.
About sixteen years ago young lady
was engaged as teacher of a private
school in Lebanon. The publisher of
this paper paid the tuition fee for one
of her pupils, and the teacher passed in
and out of his house almost like one of
the family Of pure English descent,
she spoke English only, but out of regard
for her surroundings here she soon ac-
quired little German, which she used
on any suitable occasion. We looked
upon her at that time as lady of supe-
rior mental power, with noble principles
and self reliance. As a school teacher
of unassuming department, the world
in general took no more notice of her
than of such individuals as you will
meet by hundreds in every town. The
most inflated classes of Lebanon per-
haps never bestowed look Of recogni-
tion upon her.
After she had left Lebanon, about
fourteen years ago, she kept up some
correspondence with some of her friends
here, which, however, gradually ceased,
and she was almost forgotten by all ex-
cept few friends, who fondly kept her
name in remembrance. An event which
transpired in Chicago about year ago
brought the name of this school teacher
to the surface again, and she was sud-
denly seen in a new light. 1t was dis
covered that she was the sister of the
Governor of New York, who was then
nominated as candidate for President
of the United States. This elevated her
name at once to a high degree, yet the
fame was not firmly established, and it
was supposed it might come down again
to its former level.
But after Cleveland was really elect
ed, and the fact became known that his
sister (the Lebanon school teacher) was
really the leading lady of the country,
her fame went up at once like pillar
of fire. Now almost everybody in Leb-
anon claims her as a personal acquaint-
anee and friend, and now, since it is
also discovered that she possesses great
literary talents and is the author of a
great book, the enthusiasm for her knows
no bounds. Most everybody now claims
to have known her like cousin. Let
ters which have lain in the dust for
many years are brought out and valued
as fortune.

Statistics Concerning Women.
in Buffalo Exnress. !

Gen. +. A. Walker, in Buffalo Express.l
Almost all the Southern States have
nearly equal number of each sex. In
Massachusetts, the females between 20
and 90 years of age exceed the males of
the same age by about $4,000. In sew
enty eight cities the excess of females is
14S,000. That illiteracy prevails more
among women is due probably to the
foreign population. Women contribute
less to pauperism, the proportion being
81 900 to $4,000. The ratio of prison
inmates stands 5,06S women to 81, 100
males. Women are in excess among the
insane, men in excess among the idiotic,
blind and deaf mutes. The proportion of
women who engage in occupations outside
of the household is smaller in the United
States than in foreign countries, but in
no country is the proportionate number
engaged in superior industrial occupa-
tions equal to that in this country. OF
the 2,647 900 women in occupations,
595, 900 are engaged in agriculture, most
of them colored women in the Southern
States; 632, 900 are in manufactures, of
whom about one-half are in New York,
Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania; 2S2,-
600 are milliners, ETC., 50 900 are tailors.
OF the forty-four occupations recorded
as personal service" forty find women
in them. The 525 female surgeons of
1870 have increased to 2,473; the law
yers to IS; the 65 clergymen to l65.
The number of laundries has increased
from 81 900 in 1870 to l2s, 900, and of
the latter los, 900 are kept by women.
This large increase shows great light

Regulating the Elephant.

Everybody had heard that the great
elephant was loose, and several families
whose gardens he had torn up and whose
boys he had trampled upon were GER
tain of IL. There was great excitement,
and the town held a meeting to decide
what should be done. They did not
want to exterminate him; in fact. many
of them did not believe that they could
exterminate him, for he was a pretty
big elephant. Besides, he was useful in
his proper place-in shows, in India
and in story books.
"Our best plan is TO try and regulate
him" said an enthusiastic speaker.
LET US build toll gates all alongz the
route We find he is going to take. and
make him pay"
Yes. but that leaves him reaming
round, shrieked an old woman sAnd
| don't want my boy killed"
Keep your boy aways fromShim;
that's your business. Why, madam,
don't you know that an elephants hide
and tusks are valuable for mechanical
and surgical purposes, and that hesis
useful in India "a Besides there's ahe
toll he viii pay. We shall by this
means get money enough into the pub
nc treasury TO build schools for a good
many boys who are not trampled to
death" That's the plan. Regulate
him Regulate himp' shoutedS the
crowd. So they appointed great f1Sny
committees, and drafted constitutions
and bylaws, and circulated petitions,
and by the time the elephant had
killed several more boys and trampled
down quantity of gardens they had
erected very comfortable toll houses for |
the gate keepers and gates for the |
elephant and then they waited IN great |
satisfaction to see the anima3 regulated. |
Slowly the great feet trampled onward |
slowly the great proboscis appeared in |
view, and with a sniff of contempt, the
lifted the gate from its hinges |
and walked off with it, while the crowd /
stared after him in dismay
"Well!" exclaimed the keeper catch |

PRONUNCIATION and Character.

The pronunciation of English is oft
en- regarded as touchstone which re-
veals whether a person is well or i'll
bred, and to a certain extent the OBJ
servation is undoubtedly true. Pro-
nunciation is one of the outward and
visible signs which most quickly be-
trays the lack of culture, and which.
although the speaker may wear good
clothes. betrays also the presence OF
vulgarity. But there are two classes
of persons who can not be set down as
either vulgar or uncultured, yet who.
at the same time, entertain radically
different views concerning the pronun-
citation of numerous English words.
One of these persons occupies what he
is pleased to call commonsense posi-
tion. which may be explained as fol-
lows: A word in common use is popu-
larry pronounced contrary TO the me-
thod given by majority of the lexico-
grsphers, yet such pronunciation has
the sanction of one or two good au-
thorities. as allowable, although per-
baps not preferable. One common
sense man SAYS there is authority for
the popular pronunciation. and L pro-
pose to adopt it rather than make my
self conspicuous by speaking different
" from ninety-nine ont of hundred
of my eountrymen- The person who
represents the other class is strict
purist- The one person accommo-
dates himself to popular usage when
ever he can find reasonably good au-
| thority for doing so; the other is un-
bending. and claims that common use
has no right to acknowledge, but that
what he considers the best must always

Prohibition Does Prohibit.

a letter from friend in Bayou Bar
barry, Livingston Parish, Louisiana, tells
about the state of things there since the
enactment of the Prohibition statute by
the parish. He says.that he visited the
parish Jail and found the doors standing
open and the locks so rusty that key
could hardly turn in them He was
informed by the Sheriff that they have
had but two prisoners for the entire
time since whisky has been abolished.
This is buta sample of what results in
every place where the sale of liquor is
forbidden. The criminal docket almost
entirely disappears from the records of
the courts. Advices from Durant, Mis-
sissippi, state not only that the morals of
the place have greatly improved but
they also state that the leading mer-
chants and dealers have voluntarily given
their testimony that trade of all kinds
has materially increased since the pre-
valence of Prohibition and further that
the town never was so prosperous as at
present. Read and ponder, We misguid-
ed souls who think that whiskey-
selling is necessary to commericl pros

The Trade in Grindstones.

There are two mistaken ideas about
grindstones in the public mind, said
a dealer in those articles, whose place
was visited by reporter yesterday
.-One is that they are going out of use
and the other that they explode. In
stead of going out of use. just the con-
trary is the fact, for more are used
now than ever before. Why is this?
Because of improved cutting machin-
cry that requires the aid of grindstones
to keep ii in perfect condition. As for
their exploding. as you read about
every once in while, that's all nom
sense. They do not explode. But
they do break, scattering themselves
about some and hurting people. But
this is due to their being mounted
wrongly. not to anything of an explo-
sive nature about them.
Where do most-of the grindstones
come from?" was asked.
From Frnce and Germany chiefly
Some come from England and some
from the western part of this country.
They are found in Ohio, but not at all
in the east. The Ohio stones are good
for rough grinding, but the French
and German ones are the best. because
they can be used for finer work-for
fiat surface grinding and for cutlery.
/ send great many of them to people
in the far west, even to Nebraska and
California I also ship them to Central
America Canada, too, buys many in
this city. The largest grindstone /
ever sold was fifty-four inches in diam
eter and had an eight-inch face. The
size most generally sold is a twenty
four inch diameter with three to
four inch face
What do grindstones cost2'
.tThe smallest is a three-inch diam

of these costs 80 cents and 81 IS doz-
