Have an Object in Life.

Young man if you want to succeed
you must have an object. If you go
on through life in a ship-shod, aimless
sort of way, the chances are that you
will die, as you have lived, a mere
cipher soon forgotten in this world,
and if in the merciful province of God.
you succeed in getting into the next,
you will have to sit around on the:
ragged edge unable to join in the
smallest song which the celestial choir,
is said to sing. There won't be any
place for you and nothing for you to-
busy yourself about. You won't even
have the satisfaction of being allowed
to assist in taking up the collection,
because you would 60 to sleep beforei
you had got half way around.
Have an object! What does it mat.
ter if you do fall short of it? Aim
high and blaze away. Suppose you
don't hit the mark,-you are no worse
off than hundreds of others! But let;
me tell you, if you aim well and keep
on firing, after a. while something is
sure to drop. Of course if you shut
your eyes and pull off both barrels at
once, you may hit something, but the
probabilities are that you won't, and
if you do it will very likely be some
odoriferous turkey buzzard or HARM
less little pee-wee, that it would have
been much better for your reputation
had you left alone.
Have an object, young man, and,
stick to it. You may never be Presi-
dent or even Governor, but if you
keep some worthy object in view and
work hard, we'll wager lead nickel
that some day you will be able to take
your best girl to the circus, without
skulking around on the back streets
for fear of meeting your wash-woman
whom you owe for your last three
weeks washing.-CALEB CORKsCREw,
ia st. Louis Magazine.

The Rhythm of Marching Men.

M. Marcy, experimenting and study
ing the march of French soldiers. dis
covers that low heels have favorable
influence on the pace which person
makes, and that the rhythm of the
step has an important influence on the
speed. The rhythm was studied by
means of an electric bell. actuated by
a pendulum of variable length, to en-
able the subject to keep exact time.
and the distance travelled was recorded
on the odograph by electric signals
sent along the line every fifty meters
traversed. It was then found that the
length of the steps increased little until
sixty-five steps pei minute are taken;
it then increases until seventy-five.
and afterward increases as higher
rhythm is reached. The speed of
travel increases with the acceleration
of the rhythm up to eighty-fve steps
per minute, and decreases at higher
rhythm.-,St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Large Yorkshire Swine.

There is a tendency to vary in all
breeds of animals. 1t is as much law
Of nature applicable to all living things,
as the more widely recognized law
that like produces like Every
breeder of swine, in particular, oh
serves that there is great variation
in size, though in other points there
may be uniformity. Thus among Berk-
shires, some are very large, others are
of medium size, and others again, fine
and small. Each size has its merits,
particularly the extremes. The same
thing, as might be expected, occurs
with the white breed of Yorkshire,
was originally large and coarse; bat
instead of inter-breedipg and refining
the large ones by the use of small fine
pigs for crosses, each has of late years
been separately bred, and improved
rather by selection than by introduc.
ing the blood of the finer and smaller
animals. This has given rise to the
two distinct breeds of Yorkshire pigs
which are now established. They are
similar, but quite distinct in form, and
it is rather remarkable, that with the
VI Jul III
something not only big but odd, they
have produced breed that is very
profitable. The large Yorkshires are
undoubtedly the best formed, the
smallest boned. the quickest feeders, Of
all the large breeds. They are exceed
ingly deep il body, with short, broad
heads, fine bones for their weight,
with good hams, shoulders, ard sides.
They are not extraordinary for length
of body, but In this they are iInprov-
ing. A point of weakness sometimes
found is a depressed chine-the weight
of the body in old hogs. causing hol-
lowness of the back. In this respect
too, there has been great improvement
of late. The Yorkshire is preeminently
a lard-maker, but when crossed with
the Berkshire. the quality and GUAM
tity of the meat is much improved. AS
economical feeders and rapid growers,
the large breed is only surpassed by
the small Yorkshires, and for crossing,

THE LITTLE KNIGHT.

The knight Of olden time, they say.
went bravely out TO battle,
And sto serene amid the strife,
The din and rosr and rattle,
Because he carried on hts arm
a ribbon or glove,
ana fought and won, or fought and fell,
All for his lady-love.
VIC boys may be like knights, they saw,
Although our lives are quiet,
And though we may not ride to war.
With martial clank and riot,
Yet We may still be brave and true,
AND light against the wrong,
And, like the gallant knights Of old,
Help other lives along
80. Cousin Alice you. / see,
Wear ribbons with your dresses:
Please, will you spare one pretty bow,
From of your braided tresses,
just To remind me, day by day,
i must be good and true,
valiant knight to serve the right,
Because-I 'am fond of yous
Then, Cousin Alice, LET me wear
Your pretty colors gayly,
Ana they shall make me kind and true.
And brave and gentle, daily;
For, like the knights of olden time,
promise, "honor bright"
II you re my little Valentine,
To be your faithful Knight

Keeping WatermeIons and SGuashes.

We ate the last of our watermelons
December Sth, large one, descend
ant from seed brought from Virginia
a dozen years ago or more. This fruit,
as usually managed, lasts only three
or four weeks in the northern states.
The season. may be prolonged through
October and November with a little
painstaking. Specimens for late use
should be picked about week before
they are in their best eating condition,
carefully handled, and placed in
cool, dry room, where there will be no
danger of frost. By the last of Octo-
Der they should be packed in dry saw
duff, clean, dry hay, or cut straw,
kept in a dry room and used as want
ed. The old-fashioned way of keeping
crook-neck squashes, hanging up in
the kitchen by loop of wooden list
ing, IS still in use, and is effective
when the room is safe from frost.
When the coal fire is not suffered to
90 out. they keep well through the
winter. The Hubbaris and Marble
heads are good keepers under similar
conditions. Where there are closets
against the chimney, these and other
hard-shelled squashes, keep well. The.
great secret of success is in very care
full handling. As table vegetable, and
in pies, these winter squashes are
hard to beat.-Wm. Cliff IN AmericaR

The Female Form Divine.

A stay-maker. asked by a reporter III
he ever thought of studying womens"
figures with respect to their nationali-
ties, delivered himself of the following:i
eyes. the study is an interesting
one. English women, when they are
young, have the noblest figures, so far
as have Observed" said the manu-.
facturer, after a pause, ''but they get:
corpulent and dowager-like after mar
riage much sooner than American
women, after which they may be SAID
to have no figure at all. English
women, as a rule, are less ashamed of:
their figures when stout than most
other fashionables, and seldom resort,
to tight lacing. Mrs. Langtry, who
has been in our store several times,i
is superbly shaped woman, say what
they will, and is fine specimen of
English women in general, though L

defects that it is hard to judge of
them. There are some pretty figures

The few Holland and Belgian ladies L
have seen are rotund, and essentially,
well built. The best shaped woman in
every respect who comes into the;
store is a Hungarian, wife of musi-'
clan in one of our theater orchestras.i
Her waist, bust and shoulders are
like sculpture. She is tall, willOwy
and statuesque, and her walk is the:
melody of motion. She doesn't walk
at all, in the ordinary sense, but floats

excellent figures, but there are no.

stood in the doorway and prevented
his passage. Then summoning all her
courage, and with look of infinite
disdain, she took him by the coat
sleeve and led him to the bedside of
the dying girl. All through this scene
the occupant of the room, who was
none other than the unfortunate Mary,
gazed vacacsly aTSGhd as if bewilder-

me for all the wrong 1 have done.
Heaven bless you, William These
were the last words she uttered. In
few seconds she was corpse. For
moment all remained quiet as the
grave. Then. as if moved by a sudden
impulse, Farlow made one dash for the.
door, and ran hastily down stairs and
into the street. i
The Powers family never saw him
after that night. Through his attor-
ney he withdrew his interest in the
firm of Powers, Farlow & Co., and it
was understood that he had gone
abroad. Miss Powers, after making
provision, as well as her condition,
would allow, for the burial of her.
dead friend, was taken with C severe.
lit of illness which lasted many months,
and, the physicians say, was caused
by extreme nervousness.

seen, in one of the daily papers, the
notice of the marriage OF Augustine
