Ny OPINION OF "SoME FoLE."-"Abovc quar-
reling!" Indeed! Well, like you none the
better for that, if you have cause for quarrel.
hate your cold and frozen folk, too good to be an
cry or indignant, or too dull to be enthusiastic
over anything; people who arc never proud OF
anything they do, or ashamed of anything they
have done who have no sense of fun, and never
express any realization of the tragedies of life ex-
cept by reproving others for feeling them keenly.
Give me person with a temper, with emotions,
who will quarrel or say things to make one an
cry, perhaps quito unreasonably, but will always
he willing to kiss and be friends again-to own
to having been wrong. Rather this that cold,
toad.likc animosity, and way of grimly insult
ing offender by refusing to say any more, after
saying one onragng thing with a calm smile, and
leaving tho innocent victim to SHOW temper
alone. l hate people who pretend to be saints
when they arc only naturally erring mortals.
Oh your hot-tempered person is never IAN ene-
my" to any ono. He or she has an hour of wrath,
which passes, and serenity follows; and in any
real emergency the late offender would find a
friend rs warm and helpful rs ever in the offend
cd one. 1t is the being whose anger expresses
itself in frozen SMILE aud who never uses any
expressive language when in rage, who would
quietly wait some fourteen years or SO, and then
put arsenic in your tea cup, or Paris green in your
coffee, by way OF revengng himself for having
been called donkey, or not having boon invited
to tea party. At least, that is my idea OF human
nature.-M. Il. d.

A letter to the american EraclHs from Baltimore
lamcnts the growing neglect Of homo for club life.
1t says:
ITO illustrate what mean shall relate what
was said to me by an old gentleman "a GENTLE
in reference thereto. The gentleman, in speaking
about tho different factions among us, laughingly
remarked that tho young men do not take much
pains interest in Judaism that they do lot
observe the laws, and that they devote themselves
to having good time generally. In regard to
the holidays he mentioned the following circum-
stances, which, am not 10th to say, brought the
blush of shame to my face. At one time when he
visited 4 certain public beer garden he saw night
y assembled about forty old Jewish gentlemen
engaged in occupations of gambling and drinking.
Happening to 90 there on the great fast day. as
he called it, he failed to SEQ the old men, but was
surprised to notice the place filled with young
men who were displaying great imitativencss in
following exactly in the paths of their paternal
ancestors He closed with this remark: The
young ones take care to keep away while their
fathers are present. This is but one instance
bearing upon the matter under discussion"

Do not violently disturb sleepy child by lift
ing it suddenly out of bed before it is fully awake
Do no violence to your own sleep either if it is
possiblcto avoid instantaneous rising at the first
waking moment. There are professions the
soldiers, the doctors, the :nursc's, where wake
fulness to order and on the jump is required. But
all persons are not under such bonds to attention,
all young folks not West Point cadets to start
up at the "rcvcille." The words OF al expert
are worth quoting: Fifteen minutes spent in
gradually waking up, after the eyes are opened
and in turning over and stretching the limbs do
rs much good as sound sleep, because the opera
ton sets the blood in motion by degrees, tending
to cqualizc the circulation, for during sleep tho
blood tends to stagnation, the heart beats feebly
and slowly, and to shock the system by bouncing
up in an instant and sending the blood i'll over
whelming quantity TO the heart, causing it to as.
sumo gallon: where the instant before it was a
creep, is the greatest absurdity. This instanta-
ncous bouncing ont Of bed as soon as the eyes are
open will be followed by a long WEAKNESS before
noon "-iHiiddcphiu Ledger.

No EASY PLACEs.-A young man writes
letter asking us to obtain for him SOME
easy position aud he will pay for it. You
bet. A man always pays for easy positions,
and he generally pays more than the posi-
ton is worth. Ia useful lifo there are no
easy positions. At least we never found
one nor have met man who had one that
did not cost him more than he got from it.
All useful beneficial things are won by work.
Ten dollars earned brings to lis more COM
fort, happiness, strength to make farther
efforts than would a hundred dollars found.
All there is useful Of man is what comes
from work in some wellintended direction.
He who seeks to live without work educates
himself to dishonesty. His greatest object
in life is to eat potatoes better man has
planted and dug. If you are in mental and
bodily health never ask for an easy place.
Rather ask for one that requires stubbed
stuff to fill. One that will call forth and
develop the better qualities of manhood,
viz: courage, patience, kindness, endurance,
and Indifference to public opinion, so long
as you feel that you are Of use to yourself.
Easy places are never useful. .Shun them
nd those who seek them.--Erchangc.

CHIMNEYs.-In the year 1900, chimneys

CHIMNEYs.-In the year 1900, chimneys
were scarcely known in England. One
only was allowed in religious house, one
in manor house, and one in the great hall
of castle or lords house; but in other
houses the smoke found lis way out as it
could The writer's Of the fourteenth cen.
tury seem to have considered them as the
newest invention of luxury. In Henry
Wills reign, the University of Oxford had
no fire allowed; for it is mentioned that,
after the students had supped, having no fire
in winter, they were obliged to take good
run for half an hour to get heat in their feet
before they retired for the night. Holinshed,
in the reign of Elizabeth, describes the rude
ness of the proceeding generation in the arts
of life There were," says he, "very few
chimneYs even in the capital towns the fire
was laid to the wall, and the smoke issued
out at the door, roof, or window. The
houses were waited and pastered over
with clay, and all the furniture and utensils
were of wood" In 1859 tax Of two shil-
lings was laid on chimneys.

A INGENIOUS CORRESPONDENCE cor
respondence with hair was once attempted
between notorious Partisan thief in du-
rance vile and his comrades outside. A
letter was sent to the prisoner from his
sweetheart, containing thereby a lock of
hair wrapped in the leaf of book. The
jailer did not consider the souvenir impor-
tant enough to be delivered, but in few
days there came similar Enclosure, and yet
another. This aroused suspicion, and tho
governor took the matter in hand. He ex-
amined the leaf of the book it was that of q
common novel, twenty-six lines on q page.
Then he studied the hair and noticed the
small quantity of the gift. Counting the
hairs he found them of unequal length and
twenty-six in number, the same as the
lines on the page. Struck with the coinci-
dence, he laid the hairs along the lines on
the page which they respectively reached,
beginning at the top with the smallest hair.
After some trouble he found that the end
of each hair pointed to different letter, and
that these letters combined, formed slang
sentence, which informed the prisoner that
his friends were on the watch, and that the
next time he left the prison to be examined
an attempt would be made to rescue him.
The Governor made his plans accordingly.
The attempt was made, but the rescuers fell
into their own trap.

A St. Louis undertaken tells Globe DEM
ocrat reporter that there are probably eight
or ten undertakes in that city who are COM
petent to properly embalm bodies after
death, although all undertakers attempt it,
and only one is opposed to it. The excep-
ton is very prominent undertaken, and he
thinks embalming is wrong and icing is the
only true and successful way of preserving
remains. The cost of embalming is $40 for
a mere injection, and S25 when the work
went so far as to remove superintendent
gases. Tho cost of putting on ice $40. Only
about one person in every ten who die is
embalmed. The method employed most
generally is to open a brachial artery and
pump in the preserving fluid.
