Hear what Gail Hamilton says
about good manners: "What shall
he the education of young wo-
man! First, gool manners. And
last and all the way between, good
manners. Reading and writing
Are often convenient, often ObnOx,
ious, never indispensable. Good
manners imply every saving grace
known under heaven among men
and women. Good manners are
the absolutely transparent meli-
um of conveying to the world the
bencvolence of a good heart; music
is u matter of throat and ears;
painting is matter of eyes and
fingers, dancing isa feat Of feet.
Good manner involves and
include every department of the
human being, body, soul. and spirit
heart and mind, imagination and
conscience, discrimination and
moral judgment. The whole duty
of ,nan--tO man-is embraced in
good manners, and if bad mannefs !
were admitted into heaven it would !
cease to bo heaven.-YOuth's Com

Remarks Oh Sleep.

Never eat after going to sleep.
Always sleep with your eyes shu
A person should never get up il
the morning just before waking.
| Never sleep with your head tt
the east. The yeast makes things
rise too soon.
Babies ought to sleep twenty-foul
hours per day. But We never knew
one that would do it.
Men, women and other children
require just so much sleep, and il
they don't get it they lose it.
Uuless you wash your feet very
often, never sleep with flowers in
the room. It is unhealthy-for the
flowers.
IfyOu are in the habit ofsn0ring,
and can't breath without snoring
don't breath. It is better to stop
your breath and die than to snore.
A man should lie in bed at least
eight hour oat of twenty -four. All
except lawyers. they lie SO much
all the time it don't make auy differ.
ence if they sleep or not.
A man should never jump out of
bed very sudden. 1t starts the Cir.
too quick. He ought to
turn over and stretch, and yawn,
and cape. and scratch, and lie still,
and wait till some of the women
folks gctup and make tie fire.

attached to the parachute. 1t
looked like an immense umbrella
! The balloon went over the Schuyl-
kill in a soutlwesterly direction,
and after it had reached an altitude
of about 5000 feet began to slowly
descend. Then the parachute be-
gan to expand. when within a bout
5000 feet of the earth the cord was
cut and the parachute rapidly de-
scended, with GODDARD hanging OH
to the bar. The balloon shot up
ward again. The descent of the
parachute was keenly watched by
the thousands of spectators, and
many expected to see the daring
man dashed to the earth in the
twinkling of an eye. 1t was ob-
served, however, that the nearer to
earth the parachute came the de-
scent was slow and easy. At last
the man aud his big umbrella IA
ded out OF sight over the hills. and
We LEARNED next morning that he
came down all right Oh his feet,
like Il cat, about a half mile west of
the old Bell tavern, OH the Darby
road. The balloon landed in Del
aware county, near the Philadcl-
phia line. GODDARD and his brother
were Frcnclmen. They returned
to their native country, and were
valuable to their cou ntrymen du-
ring the Franco -Prussian war.

My good old man to see this day, who all

But then, would not bring him back, not

Nor change one crook that's in my lot, for
what God does is right.
But as sit alone and think, ( see some

From making thoughtless, sad mistakes, to

So inst remember, Hannah, dear, that,
though you're pretty bright,
1t may be very possible you'll not bc always

Perhaps when you arc frctting oet some
other body's sin.
You'll find the fault was all Your own ifyou
would look within.
As when We washed the window pancs to-
gcthcr face to face,
So that the smallest spot or stain would
find 40 resting place.
Yon would insist, however hard to make
you sec tried,
That every spot was my fault when twas
really on your s,lo.
And Hannah, oh : lc patient if you find
Will sometimes slow;
Your wits flash out like lightning strcaks,

Vow, lightning isa handy thing in stormy

from Suakim for Bombay, has been

in sending the coolies back to India
was to have them man the monitors

Ruil I'm RepIevln.

A suit in replevin was instituted yester-
day by the Europa Consolidated Mining
Company against the Bowman Mining
Company to recover 2s IONS Of ore, claimed
10 be worth $50 q ton, aud delivered to the
Eureka Consolidated furnaces, aud which
the plaintiffs claim was extracted from
their ground. This action will in no way
interfere with the work now going on in
the Bowman, as that company will at once
give bonds TO the Sheriff for the amount
claimed.
Il, appears that some time ago the
Europa Company expressed a desire to
Superintendent McAulay of the Bowman
TO sell their property for an amount stated
but a. Mr.. McAulsy did not consider the
proposition favorably nothing on his part
was done In the matter. Recently some oil
the owners Of the Europa claimed that the
ore being extracted by Superintendent
McAulay was from their ground. 1t was
proposed that one or more surveyors go
underground in the Bowman and make a
survey in order to ascertain the true state
of affairs, but this, ii appears was not
agreed to by the Europa owners. Nothing
further was said or done in the matter
until Yesterday, when the suit mentioned
was commenced. 1t 10 hoped that the
action in court will in no way interfere
with any development or other work now
being prosecuted there.

Nearly IO5 Years Old.

SYRACUSE, Dec. 26.-Thomas Van Valin,
q pensioner Of the war OF 1912, died this
morning. On January IL he celebrated
his 104th birthday, and he was, conse-
~quently, within q few days Of being los
years old. He claimed to be the Oldest
Democratic voter in this State. Mr.. Van
Vslin was born in Duchess county, and
was the son OF Abel Van Vain. who was
accidentally killed at the age of los years.
His grandfather lived to be lis and a
brother of his grandfather lived TO the
age Of 112 years. The latter left three
sons, each OF whom was also q centena-
rian. John Van Valin lived to be 100
years old. Isaac ITO, and Joseph 10S. The
mother of Thomas Van Vslin died at the
age of Ga years. In conversation with a
reporter recently Mr.. Van Valin said;
Don't you know why the present gen.
GRAFTON doesn't live as long as they did
some sixty or seventy years ago2 Well,
the reason is because the children nova
days are generally brought up on delics-
cies and handled with too much care. In
my day we were made 20 rough it. Why,
l remember that when / was a young man
l traversed the State of New York, Penn
s~ylvanis and Connecticut, and that afoot,
too, I used to make the old Catskill Noun
tains my hunting grounds. Many q time
have l travelled the entire length Of these
woody regions in search OF game. l once
was told by a fortune teller that / should
live to be as old as my grandfather, and
unless the injury that l sustained to my
hip a few months ago plays havoc with me,
/ still cherish the hope TO see that prophecy
fulfilled"

NeyAda,s Cattle Interest.

Nevada has a vital interest in tho great
productive pursuit of cattle growing
Her hills and valleys, says the Reno Jour
nal, are fast being utilized by the growing
herds of improved stock. Her superb eli
mate, pure water and nutritious grasses
stand approved in the admitted superior
health of her herds OF horses, horned cat
tie and sheep. In all directions cattle
ranchss are sought after, and the business
is growing in large proportions. Blooded
stock from the East and West has been i'm
ported, and in the near future the sdvan-
tages TO which we have referred will result
in the production Of as fine stock as the
bluegrass region OF Kentucky can furnish.
The recent organization of cattle growers
ia a step in the right direction, and one
which must result in great advantage in
every way. The agricultural, mineral
and stock interest of the State embrace
a wide and inviting field for capital and
labor, and to it we invite the idle funds
and unemployed laborers Of the u
try.
