How 10 Lift The Burden.

MY son, put that log on the wagon"
"I cannot, father. 1t weighs many
tons, and exceeds the strength Of a hun
dred men,"
"You can put it on the wagon, and
will teach you how. Chop and split 1t
into lengths suitable for your strength.
Now let this be a lesson to you. All
through life you will find heavy bur
Gens to carry, heavy tasks to perform.
Do not inspect them in bulk and become
disheartened, neither grapple nor at
tempt to master them with one effort.
Perform what your strength will per-
mit-a little each hour-each day. You
will gradually become strong, and meet
with success in the end. By attempting
to lift heavy log at one effort you
might injure yourself hey ond recovery.
But by lifting little at time you
would, in a lifetime, move more logs
than could be stored In a township.
Great success in life is secured by know
ing your strength and lifting accord
ingly: by continuous and persistent ef-
fort rather than momentary struggle.
There is another way by which you can
move heavy logs. There are many in
ventions designed for this purpose, the
existence of which you do not suspect.
In some instances you are only required
to attach the graphing hooks and the
burden is borne wherever you desire.
Remember that in all undertakings in
life there is one way to proceed much
better than all others. Investigate
closely, assuring yourself that you are
working by the best method. Other
wise you will be lifting the log without
appliances. Only the best methods lead
to success in this progressive and COM
petitive ages. II you cannot discover
these methods } on will see your rivals
pushing ahead. You will be Outrun in
the race" 0. fgttg

Frightening Chiidren.

with painful frequency we hear Of
cruel practical jokes perpetrated
upon little children. Again and again
comes to US the old story Of n child
frightened into convulsions by 4 play
fellow who "only wanted TO have lit
tie fun." One would think that incl
dents like this had been enacted aud
told with gbastly iteration often enough
from generation TO generation TO warn
Of the most incorrigible fun-loyers aud
fools from the perllous ground. The
progress Of the witless PLOT is generally
the same up to certain point. There
is neither originality nor variety 10 the
fayorite mode OF execution. II sounds
trite In the telling. A figure wrapped
In the conventional sheet lurking In the
dark corner; spring upon the unsus-
pectiDg victim, selected because he IL
the most timor0us or delicate Of the fam
lily or school; dismay, sbrieks Of an
guish blent with goblin laughter-then
a difference IN the ending. Sometimes
no apparent harm Is done, unless that
one child IL made more timid, another
more cruel. Again, the nervous system

Poplins are coming again.
Fans are large and elaborate.
New evening gloves are longer than
ever.
Soutache braid Is In demand for trim
ming dresses.
Polonaises are cut long and plain,
with bouHant backs.
Tailor made dresses are being made
Of new diagonal cloths.
Flowers are more worn than feathers
on new bonnets.
For summer wear have been imported
silk stockings with feet of Escurial lace.
Bodices, pointed back and front and
quite long in the waist, are features in
new costumes.
Straw hats heavily trimmed with
cloth pinked out on the edges are among
millinery novelties.
Many Of the new straw bOnnets tit
the head closely. The favorite garnl-
ture appears to be French flowers.
The high stiff collars have again
brought a piece Of velvet round the
neck, into fashion with low bodices.
White dresses will be much worn this
summer. White cashmere dresses, with
long pointed drapery In front, will be
trimmed with rows Of silver braid.
The present fashion for sealing letters
has called into use all sorts Of devices
in way of seals. Seal rings are revived.
Seals for watch chains are ont in great
variety of patterns and then there are
all kinds Of seals for the writing desk,
including paper knives with seals In the
end of the handle.
PolOnsises are very long and OF Sc
we're shapes in front, either with or
without vest, and falling open from
the waist line down. The back, on the
contrary, is very full from the tournure
downward, and can dispense with all
punching up. If it is not sufficiently
bouffant, wide scarf or sash ribbon Is
added with long loops and short ends.

A Newspaper Death Watch.

The New York newspapers have set
on General Grant what they term the
death-watch. He may die at any mo-
ment and may be alive three months
hence. But whenever he does die the
newspapers must instantly have the
news; hence some one must watch the
house for the newspapers all the time.
The chief papers have therefore hired
a convenient room close To the Grant
residence, and there all day and all
night sit a group of reporters waiting
for General Grant 10 die. They have
books and card-table and the daily news
papers, and whatever occurs 10 them
that may be of any aid to help pass
away the wearisome hours. They are
well paid for their trouble, and among
them are some of the most trustworthy
newspaper men in the city. Ii is very
responsible work, and men who are Of
irregular habits and who drink are not
selected for it. At stated hours I'm the
day and night the Grant mansion is
visited, and Colonel Fred Grant tells
the reporters how the General passed
the preceding hours. Twice day and
just before midnight the physicians are
seen and they tell the reporters the condi-
ton of their distinguished patient. The
work speedily becomes reduced to a
system, and the plan renders both the
family and the physicians much more
freedom than when the bell was rung
twenty-five times day by the repre-
sentatives of the press in pursuit OF IN
formation. The newspaper headqusr-
tiers in Grants case has become noted
already, and is bound TO become more so
as time runs on. Probably IL will not
be kept open so long as was the room In
which the reporters waited so long for
the death of Commodore Vanderbilt.
There the watch was kept up for just
seven months and jolly time, indeed,
the boys had. The room became club
room known 10 half the newspaper men
in town, and they dropped in and out
and played cards, and had good time
generally. Charles O'Connor, too, gave
the press OF New York much trouble
and expense, and ended 1t by getting
well instead of dying. When, years af-
terward, he did die, at Nantucket, be
got very brief notice. Another nota-
BILE newspaper wait was in the long alb
sence of the Beecher-Tilton suit. There,
too, room was waiting for the verdict
that never came. The chief newspapers
have obituary notices of General Grant,
descriptive of his last days, headings
and everything save the bare announce
ment of death all set in type and made
up, ready TO rush out an extra with all
possible haste after the fatal moment is
announced. .-yournalist

Facts for the Curious.

The Egyptian farmer with ten acres
of land pays more tax than an Ameri-

Infants born Oh unlucky days among
the tribes Of Madagascar have pieces Of
cloth tied over their mouths and are
then buried alive.
In some parts Of Minnesota, one can
travel hundred miles aud find none
but Swedes; and some OF their congre-
cations number over thousand.
A huge lemon was recently picked at
Panasoffkee, Fla. 1t measured twenty
four inches in circumference one way,
twenty-five another, and weighed four
pounds, thirteen ounces.
In the bank Of France there Is an invis-
ible studio in the gallery behind the CASH

suspected customer will instantly have
his picture taken without his knowledge.
Two Maine lumbsrmen save both time
and strength in splitting logs by boring
a hole in one end, tightly inserting a
sawed of gun barrel heavily charged.
When ths trigger is pulled by a string
the log is cleanly halved and sometimes
quartered.
In Mexico there Is petrihed forest
covering three hundred acres. The pet
rified stumps, limbs, and in fact, whole
trees lie about on all sides; the action
of the water for hundreds Of years has
gradually washed away the high hills
round about. and the trees that once
covered the high table lands now Lie In
the valley beneath. 7sG

received his death wound, and the rob-
Der would walk or with the mail bag,
where Bob well knew reposed the mon
ey which energetic Dick Dorr had sent
to take his poor old mother from the
almshouse, and other trusts were in
that leather bag-the humble hopes and
dreams Of those who wrote the letters
twined around them.
The doctor and his infidel tract had
done Bob Lovic little good; but he was
honest and kindly yet.
"I'll fight while have a drop Of
blood left" he said to himself. And
help may come and the mail bag be
saved, even if die
He leaped from his horse and sprang
upon the highwayman with such vigor
that the man tumbled from his saddle.
Then Bob struggled for the pistol, and
gaining it, knocked the rufiian senseless
with the butt end, and sat down OH his
mail bag to keep guard, expecting to
die every moment, but praying that
help might come before the robber re-
covered consciousness.
About that time party Of young
men. who were out on coon hunt,
came up with flaring torches, and a
score of dogs at their heels. They all
knew Bob well, and the most Jealous
were TOR dispatching the robber; but
the voice of the majority was for hind
ing him and carrying him to the city,
10 meet his reward at the hands Of JUS
tice, and with this party Bob agreed.
He felt weak and his breast ached,
and he expected every moment TO feel
the faintness of death stealing over him !;
for there was the round hole just over
his heart, and the bullet must be some
where. A few unpleasant misgivings,
which proved that his opinions of the
future were not so fixed as they might
have been, troubled him, and he sighed
as the newcomers questioned him.
"TEe bullet went in here" he said +,
touching the hole. 81 don't feel any
pain, and must be bleeding inwardly if
at all, think"
He unbuttoned his coat cautiously,
and out dropped Annie Wesley's Bible,
with the bullet deeply imbedded i'll its
cover.
The tears came to Bob's eyes and the
others stared, for he had been in the
habit of 5oasting of his intidel opinions
and it was odd enough that he should
wear a Bible next to his heart. But
every one was too glad to find him un-
hurt to care for much else, and so they
gave him three cheers, and started to-
ward the city with their prisoner.
Bob followed, leading his horse, and
keeping his eye on the mail bag, and
on tho way lao ethought-whnt he thought
might be OWNED from the fact that six
months after, Annie Wesley found her
lover by her side ut church, and hear d
from his own lips that he had not half
so high opinion of his own smartness
and thatOf his doctor friend rs formerly
and he believed she was right after all.
And so they were married, and for
many years have been living very con-
tented in their cottage on the outskirts
of Madison.

THREE LESSONS.

There are three lessons I would write,
Three words with golden pen,
In tracings Of eternal light,
Upon the hearts Of men.
Have Hope! Though clouds environ ROUND
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow,
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith! Where'er thy bark is driven,
The calm's disport, the tempess's mirth,
Know this, God rules the host OF Heaven,
The inhabitants Of earth!
Have Love! Not love alone for one.
But man as man thy brother call;
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these words upon thy soul,
Hope, Faith and Love, and thou shalt find
Strength when life's surges maddest roll,
Light when thou else vert blind.
