MODESTY.

Modesty is word generally APP
piled to the conduct and character of
women. Man, being kind of cha
rumscarum" in his acts, not much is
expected of him in the line of modesty.
Man may occasionally shrink from
unpleasant duties and experience
now and then transient emotions of
bashfuilness, but as to modesty- that
is a quanity he only admires in the
opposite SEX Modesty as term is
most generally applied to females and
flowers. 1t is sort of delicate shy
ness which seems to shun public no.
tice, and seeks to avoid impressing
its own individuality upon others.
1t should be the browning grace in
the character of woman, the cardinal
virtue which renders her more price
less than rubies. No man will adj
mire masculine woman. What he
most esteems is feminity in its most
exclusive and divinest forms, and
the highest and hottest elements in
true womanhood is modesty. There
are what are known as romping girls,
and this symptom is not necessarily
an immodest one. 1t is often but
childish freak, an out gushing of re-
dundant nature, which is easily
thrown off as sweet Is approaches and
the bud develops into the flower
There is, however, a precocious ten
dency on the part of some girls to as
simulate the girl ef.the period" man
ner, and this Otter. proves hurttul to
such girls themselves, and often OBJ
jectionable in the eyes of right think
ing men. 1t is true there are cores
ponding types manhood, and "birds
of feather will flock together" But
right thinking parents, who desire to
rear their daughters as models of true
womanhood, should strive to repress
that propensity for ''fastness" which
brings reproach upon the names and
characters of many girls who other
wise are possessed of numerous
charms. The society man may be fas-
cinated by the social pertness of gilt
tering belle, but when he wants mate
he looks elsewhere. The modest,
blushing flowers will not long be com
PEELED to waste their sweetness on
the deesrt air. Men of fine sensibili-
ty, who want companions for wives,
will not choose the bedizzened and
heartless hirts, whose realm is ever
amid the gay and festive scenes of the
pleasure seeker, but look for them in
the privacy of the home circle, where
woman if true to her name, shines
most conspicuously. That phase of
social training which seeks to dispense
with modesty, in order that the rising
female may shine in society, is de-
structive to one of the purest and best
safeguards of the sex.

The name of a person is something
that the editor, printer, or proof-read-
er cannot guess at successfully. If
there are any words in the copy pre-
pared by correspondents carelessly
and illegibly written, they are, in two
thirds of the cases, proper names. If
there is anything that makes an indi-
vidual mad it is to have his name mis-
PEELED or distorted into something
else, yet in ninety-fve instances out
of one hundred it is the fault OF the
person writing the name.

A GOOD ONE ON ALAwYER.

Colonel Charles Spencer, counsel
or-at-law, some years ago had to de-
fend one Marshall, charged with lar
ceny, against whom there was very
strong evidence. Before the trial,
Spencer went to his client, and told
him his only chance was the :plea of
insanity and advised him to play the
lunatic, and to answer all questions
put to him with the word spoons. !"
The day of the trial came on, and
Marshall took his place in the dock,
pale, haggard, and Withholding
Guilty or not guilty ?" asked the
clerk. Spoons" drawled the priso-
ner, with blank stare. "Come,
plead guilty or not guilty." the clerk
responded. Spoons" was the re-
ply. prisoner, will you answer the
question put to your Spoons" he
bawled. At this point the counsel
for the prisoner interferred, and told
the court the prisoner was insane,
and not responsible for his actions,
etc. ''Do you understand what is
said?' asked the judge of the priso-
ner. "Spoons," was the reply. The
judge discharged him, as he was
evidently insane. Counselor Spen-
Ger congratulated him on his escape,
and suggested it would be a good
idea to pay him. His client stared,
and moved away with the simple re-
mark, Spoons"

A bashful young man who was
afraid to propose to his sweetheart,
induced her to fire at him with pis-
tol, which he assured her was only
loaded with powder; and after she
had done so fell down and pretended
to be dead. She threw herself wild
ly upon the body, calling him her
darling and her beloved; whereupon
he got up and married her.

CARS RUN BY SODA.

Street cars in Copenhagen are
Grawn by locomotive without fire.
Steam is created by hydrate of soda.
The technical explanation is as fol-
lows:
The boiler of the locomotive con-
sists of two parts an upper one, the
steam boiler, and lower one, the So
da boiler. These two parts are CON
nected with several metal pipes, and
enclose a quantity of hydrate of soda
at temperature of 800 deg. c. in the
soda boiler. The water in the pipes
will become boiling and develop
steam with pressure of from 4 to 7
atmospheres say, Is pounds to the
square inch. Five minutes after the
hydrate Of soda is put into its place,
the engine is ready to start. During
the ride the steam is carried into the
soda boiler, and is there absorbed by
the soda, and thus still more heat is
created and in this way the same
pressure can be maintained until the
soda is completely saturated with
steam-which again is indicated by a
counter pressure in the soda boiler.
The locomotive is then brought to the
tanks at the depots. One tank re-
ceives the saturated soda; from the
others is taken fresh condensed hy-
drate of soda and thus the engine
again is ready for another trip-all
within a few minutes. The engine
can run without any interruption for
four hours.

WONDERFUL FISH.

A WONDERFUL fish is becoming
numerous in Goose Lake, Oregon.
1t is called by some the greenback
fish, for it is certainly an inhationist.
1t has the power to fill itself with air
until it becomes very much like a
round ball. Of evenings about sun
down they may be seen playing on
the surface of the water. They will
swell up by taking in the air, and
the wind will blow them over the
lake. They reflect all the colors of
the rairbow, and when sporting over
the lake are grand sight. A hun
ter several weeks ago saw a crane
swallow one Of these fish when in it's
normal condition, but before the
crane had got more than fifty feet up
above the lake the fish had taken in
enough air to explode the crane,
which, at the sound of a report like
that of a gun, flew all to atoms, and
the fish came lightly down on the wa
ter, no worse offtor the short ride in
the air.
