The Origin Of a Common Saying.

"The divinity students broke out
again." said the young man that
boards Oh South Division street.
1--WE were sitting at dinner today, and
Miss Stages she up and says one of her
pupils will never set the river on fire.
The divinity student looked up and
said: Il see that you like other good
people, are in error occasionally.
What do you mean?' said Miss
Stages, getting red in the face. I
mean,' said the divinity student, that
when you talk about setting the river
on fire you are using an old saying
that's got off the track. 1t used to be-
"He'll never set the Thames on fire" ,"
and people when they said it had in
mind the river Thames ; on the con-
trary it means a miller's sieve, called a
tense, which was used in the wind
and water mill days. This tense had
a wooden rim, which slid back and
forth in a wooden frame. If the man
that worked it was energetic in his
work he sometimes set the tense on
fire from friction. Hence it was said
of dull, slow person that he would
never set the tense on fire, and the
saying has been corrupted to its pres
ent fOrm.'n

Cheap Cigars and Cigarettes.

The gathering Of cigar stubs gives
employment to Il large number of Ital-
ian women and children. AS a report
er wended his way homeward early
one morning recently, he saw an Ital-
ian lad with bag strapped upoh his
shoulders walking III the cutters of the
streets in the vicinity OF the city, hall.
Tie boy WAS collecting burned lcigar
ends. At dawn the public thorough.
fares are thronged with industrious lit.
tie laborcrs, who before the sun rises
clean the streets of all discarded |cigal
stubs. Until all inquiry was made at
a local cigar store the reporter was at q
loss to know what became of the cigar
stubs gathered. The dealer in tobacco
said
"You would he surprised to know
the amount of money Italians llh hake
by gathering cigar stuEs. I do not
think put the figures high when !
state that 10 less than $4,000 cigars arc
smoked in Brooklyn daily. The NJ UNI
Der consumed may be more or less1 but
nevertheless the fact remains that nine
out Of ten men smoke. During: the
day larger part Of the cigars, W hen
wholly or partly consumed, are
thorwn into the gutter. In the vifini'
ty of the city hall, where large Gro Wds
of men gather at all times during the
day, the number Of cigar stubs found is
scarcely credible.
"The cigar stubs are utilized in
many ways. After being gathered the
butts, by which name cigar ends are
sometimes known, are sorted hnC
graded, and the dark and light sha des
of tobacco placed in separate heaps
The tobacco in the stubs is then pu} leo
out and thoroughly washed. The
washing process is done to eradicate III
ashes and burned tobacco. After The
tobacco has been dried and graded
again it is ready for sale. Cigar stubs
are sometimes made up into ch&al
quality Of tivc-ccnt cigars, or oftehel
sold to cigarette manufacturers, wjhc
mix the stubs with other tobacco"

Better BE Suve Than Sorry"

"I do not think there is need of COW
ering the tlower-beds tonight. l do
not believe there will be frost enough
to harm"
"Better be sure than sorry," the gar
dener replied "if the frost should nip
them, it would then be too late, you
know"
To the cavils of the sl1eptic and sneer
of the scorner, who do not believe be-
cause they do not understand. or think
there is no danger because they would
have it so, this same answer would be
wise :"Better be sure than sorry" If
there should be an eternity, then the
question, "Where shall I spend eterni-
ty ?" puts all other questions in the
shade. The frost may nip all the
springing hopes of the soul. "Better
be sure than sorry" Thousands OF
souls are hesitating about giving heed
to their immortal interests. "We do
not think there will be frost tonight" ,"
they say. "Better be sure than sorry"
If the frost of death should blight the
soul, it will then be too late forever

Touching Confidence.

The affairs Of Montenegro were con.
Quoted in a very peculiar fashion
when Lawrence Oliphant visited it,
some years ago. On arriving at the
little town of Cettinje, the capital OF
the principality, he found that it con-
tanned no hotel, but that room was
made for the rare stranger at a lodging
house containing one or two spare bed
rooms. Having been in one of the
chambers, he found it simply furnish
ed, and, as there was no table, his din
ner was spread upon a large chest
which it contained. While he was
enjoying his repast, the door suddenly
opened, and a stalwart Montenegrir
stalked in. Says the traveller:
He addressed me with great polite
hess in his native tongue at least
gathered from his manner that he was
polite, for I could not understand 6
word he said.
I rose, and bowed with much cere
mony, addressing him fuently in the
English language, upon which he
drew an immense key from his pocket
and pointed to the lock of the chest
thus giving me to understand that he
wished to open it.
In order for him to accomplish this
it was necessary for me to remove my
dinner, an operation which was speed
lily performed. AS he seemed frank
and engaging sort of person, without
any secrets, I looked over his shoulder
while he opened the chest, to see what
was in it.
To my astonishment, it was full to
the brim of bags of money. Not only
this, but my strange visitor opened one
of them, and poured out a handful OF
gold.
When he had counted out what he
wanted, he tied up the bag again, re-
| placed it. locked up the chest, helped
me, with many Sclavonic expressions
which I have no doubt were apologies
to spread my banquet again, and, with
a final polite salutation, vanished
leaving me alone with the untold
treasure which he had thus revealed
to me.
The absolute confidence placed in
me, an utter stranger, appalled, me-
and went to sleep vainly trying tc
unravel the mystery.
1t was not solved until next day
when I acquired the information that
the chest upon which I had dined
contained the entire finances Of the
principality, and that the Montenegrin
who had unlocked it, and vacated his
chamber in my behalf, was its Chan
cellor of the Exchequer.

Helping By Not ITindering.

There are people who only hinder
others. Instead of Tightening their
burdens, they add to them. Instead
Of being a comfort, they are a constant
trial to their friends. Instead ofgiving
cheer, they give disheartment. They
make life harder for others, rather than
easier. When such people would heed
the counsel, "Bear ye one another's
burdens" the first thing they must
learn to do is to help by not hindering.
If they will do this, even though they
give no positive help, they will be Of
much service to those who know them.
They will at least cease to be a burden
to others, will cease to discourage and
dishearten, will cease to impede and
tax their friends.
There are a great many hinderers.
There are those who are always seeing
the dark side. Nomatter how brighta
thing may he, they are sure to find a
gloomy view of it. You may paintyour
hope in most radiant colors, but they
will blotch ital with black when they
come to look at it. They are always
seeing difficulties in the path, lions in
the way. They do nothing but prophe-
sy evil, and find out andforetell difficult
ties and obstacles in the way of others.
Such people are grievous hinderers.
They chill ardor and quench enthusi-
asm in all those whose lives they
touch. Nobody feels quite happy after
meeting them for they manage, even
in moments hurried greeting, to say
some cherries word which leaves an
unpleasant impression that one CAN
notshake off. You try to say some pleas
ant and they spoil it by some unfavora-
BILE comment. You speak of some
bright expectations, but they have a
doubt ready to darken your clear sky
with clouds. You refer to some diff
cut task before you, which you purpose
to accomplish, not thinking of failure !;
but your hindering friend is prompt
with suggestions that make you feel
that you are not competent to its do
ing, and when you part from him you
have lost your courage and hope, and
perhaps you abandon the undertaking
which you might otherwise have
achieved.
So these people live to make life a
little harder for all whom they meet.
1t is impossible to estimate the intiu-
ence which they exert in retarding,
discouraging, and hindering their fell
lows. This is q miserable and sinful
use to make of horsepower over others.
Life is hard enough, at best, for every
one; and he who needlessly causes it
to be harder for any person is guilty of
wrong to his fellow-man. Instead OF
making life's load heavier, and the
spirits less brave for duty, we should
seek to tighten little every ones bur-
den, and to put fresh hope and courage
into every ones heart. We ought at
least to cease to hinder.

A Girl's Composition on Boys.

Boys are men that have not got as
big as their papas, and girls are young
women that will be young ladies by
and by. Man was made before wom-
an. When God looked at Adam, he
said to himself, "Well guess can do
better if try again." and then he
made Eve. God liked Eve so much
better than Adam that there have
been more women than men ever
since. Boys are trouble. They are
wearing or everything but soap. II
had my way, half the boys i'll the
world would be little girls, and the
rest would ,be dolls. My papa is so
nice that guess he must have been a
girl when nd was little boy.

How to Clean Paint.

Housekeepers should go to steam
boat for lessons on cleaning paint
work. The cabin of our steamboat,
painted clear white, now looks as if
the painter had just left it, being not
only clear, but having beautiful
polish. People generally who see it
think it has just been painted up for
the season, while it has only been
washed and rubbed up by the crew be-
tween meal times. To start with it
was dirty, black almost, covered with
smoke and SCOT, so that the nail heads
stood out prominently. All that is
necessary to accomplish the tran sfor
nation is little water, sponge and
pure CASTLE soap, and a smooth cloth
for rubbing after the dirt has been
washed off with the sponge. This
rubbing restores the polish. So many
people paint every year, whereas if the
paint is washed in this way it will
show clear and with high polish for
four or five years.

NOn-Breaking Lamp Chimneys.

Some person has studied out this.
way to prepare lamp chimneys so that
they will not break: With diamond
cut the bulging partao the chimney
with perpendicular lines at short dis.
tances apart. These cts are said to
give the glass the necessary room for
expansion and contraction when
quickly heated or cooled. If a dia-
mond is not available, put the CHM
ney in Il pail, for protection, and i'm
merse it in the reservoir of water on
your cookstove when the water is cool
in the morning, and let it remain all
day while the water is hot and all
night when it will slowly cool. This
is kind of annealing process that is
said to toughen the glass. The use of
soapsuds is to be avoided in cleaning,
and only clear hot water used.

Occasionally one hears All objection

Occasionally one hears All objection
to an expression of emotion in the pull
pit. The most popular and successful
misisters have been men of strong
feeling and deep emotion. Shepherd,
of Cambridge, Mass. said: GAS to my
self, l can say three things-that the
study of every sermon cost me tears
that before I preached a sermon I got
good by it myself; that 1 always went
up into the pulpit as if ! went to give
my account to my Master" II is re-
lated of DR.. Robert J. Breckenridge
that he was so overcome by emotion
once in preaching that he sat down i'll
the midst of his sermon and wept like
q child. DR.. James w. Alexander
says, "No man can be Il great preacher
without great feeling" and DIR. Lyman
Beecher wrote, 'If a man have no
feeling let him not attempt to preach. "
Payson said /: 81 never was fit to say
a word to Il sinner except when 1 had
o broken heart myself, when l was
subdued and melted into tenderness,
and felt us though | had just received
pardon to my own soul, and when my
heart was full of tenderness and
pity.n
