The Proper Spirit.

Christ gives one excellent rule. which,
if acted on, says The Quiver, would
prevent, in large measure, the small
ill-fcelings that SO much embitter soeie-
ty. IF thy brother offend thee, go and
tell him his fault between him and thee
alone" If that were done, how many
otfenses would be smothered down, and
how many more wouldivanish away al
together. To do that sometimes needs
delicacy and tact. but the pleasantness
OF reconciliation makes it well worth
while, MOTTO speak of it as our bound
en- duty. Whether others do their du-
ty towardus~ orinot we are to do our,
duty to them. But pride and coward
ice stand in the way. and instead of
seeking the offender alone in a kindly
and generous spirit, we don't go to him
at all, but we go andtell others of his
misdeeds, often with ill-natured embel-
lishments. until by much talking a very
small matter becomes avery greattone.
Besides, it gratities our vanity to,make
a black background of others, against
which our own whiteness may show to
adyantage-sham virtue. All this
shows spirit. no do1bt--improperssplr-
it. And besides being wrong, it, is not
a very pleasant arrangement; to be
ready to take offense, to Keep spites.
to cherish bitter thoughts, of: othars,.
does not make paradise within any
more than around us, however COM
mon It may be and, howevar spirited it
may seem. "Ye.fools anM blind!,"

Why They Had to Kill Another
Chinaman.

One of the best known mining
engineers in the United States, in fact
the man who built many big mines and
tunnels on the Pacific coast, and whom
we will call Smith for the sake of the
story. told the Casual Observer the
other day that while experimenting the
construction of mine at Virginia City,
on which mostly Chinese labor was
employed. the foreman of one of the
tunnels came to him one morning and
said: ''Mr. Smith, Chinaman was
killed this morning by fall of rock in
the tunnel. Wen have to kill another
before night" .'Why sop was the
inquiry in reply. "Well," said the
foreman, as he took fresh chew of
tobacco. "it's easier to carry two dead
Cinnamon out of camp than one"
The engineer got mad at this and pro-
hibited any reckless exposure of life.
But sure enough before the night fell
another Chinaman had been gathered to
his fathers. The manner of carrying
the dead Cinnamon out of camp was
to hang one body on each side of y
mule. If ,here was only one dead
Chinaman it took two men to carry
him Off one at his head and another at
his heels. s.-NeW York Graphic.

A Back-Seat for Mustangs:

When you compare,a mustang pony
to.a Georgia mnle, it is. as moonlight is
to sunlight oras water is to. wine. A
Muscogee County farmer claims that
he was recently breaking a Young
mnle. A stalwart negro man mounted
the mule in the middle of the lot and
the spectators mounted tho fence. The
mule began to buck and dance at the
same time. A cloud of dust enyeloped
him and his rider. and unearthly noises
came from the midst of the dust cloud.
When the cloud of dust cleared away
the mule was quietly eating out of the
trough in his stall, ard one of the
negro's knit suspenders was wrapped
tightly around his loft hind leg. No
other portion Of the negro has yet been
discovered. = Columbus (Ga.) Enguir-

In the Old Piaca.

1t is the same old place. There are
few changes, but to him, sitting in
the shadow, the little nook on the
rivers bank is just the same as when
he spent the happy hours here in boy
ish dreaming. Splendid were the vis-
ions that he knew before life was
marred by any thought of care. Here
he was a conqueror on fiery steed.
Before him ran the heralds, and behind
did there ever such host follow so
great leader9 Were there ever such
joyous shouts upon the air? Was there
ever so happy people?
Here it was that he first spoke words
of love. Here he had vowed eternal
friendship. 1t was on this very stone
that he sat that evening when, after
long years Of absence, he had returned
to make her his bride. These two tall
trees We're saplings then, and parted to
let pass the friend who came and sat
beside him.
All, SO hard it is for friend to say to
friend, "She is Dead" that those cruel
words were long unspoken. Yet he
heard them at last There are some
whose agony spends itself in violence
and tears, and it is better so; they can
forget so soon. From his lips came
only "1t is hard but how terrible were
those words.
He is living it all over again now.
He can hear his friend answer softly,
''9cs, it is hard" and then he knows
that he is gone. His hands reach up
and grasp the branches above him.
They break; they are nothing. AS he
stares into the water, how calm it
seems How peaceful would be a rest
ing place beneath it! Surely it is best
TO be there, Best-but it must not,
cannot be-.
Now, not only in memory but in real
ity, he walks deeper into the woods. as
he did before. 1t comes upon him that
it was long ago that he was here. It is
with difficulty that he can go the same
way that he went then. Here too is a
tree riven by the lightning stroke. 1t
was long ago that he laughed at her
fears for him as he climbed among its
topmost branches. He touches it ten

:Going down together. 1t cannot be
long. The way is bright and lovely.
There are those who arc waiting to
welcome me. And you-you have

How to Keep the Hands Soft.
A little ammonia or borax in the wat
er you wash your hands with, and that
wafer just, luke-warm, will keep the
skin warm and soft. A little oatmeal
mixed with the water will whiten the
hands. Many people use glycerine on
their hands when they go to bed. wear
ing gloves to keep the bedding clean;
but glyccrine makes some skins harsh
and red. These people should rub
their hands with dry oatmeal, and
wear gloves in bed. The best prepara-
ton for the hands at night is white of
egg, with grain of alum dissolved in
it. Roman toilet paste is merely
white of egg, barley flour and honey.
They say it was used by the Romans in
olden time. Anyway, it is a first-rate
thing, but it is mean, sticky sort of
stuff to use, and doesn't do the work
any better than oatmeal. The rough.
est and hardest hands can be made soft
and white in a months time by Doctor
ing them little at bedtime; all the
tools you need are q nailbrush, bottle
of ammonia, box of powdered borax
and a little fine, white sand to rub the
stains of, or cut of lemon, which will
do even better, for the acid of the
lemon will clean anything. Manicures
use acids in the shop, but the lemon is
while the acids are. e.-New York An-
