"Really now, did II Well, that proves

"But, John, you may be dead by next

EEARLS OF THOUGHT.

DO gentle and firm with children.
Beware OF the first disagreement.
Beware Of meddlers and tale bearers.
Who hath spice enough may season
his meat as he pleaseth.
He that waits on another man'a
trcncher makes late dinner
A mortgage on the mind will only BE-
cancelled at death.
In the race for fame there are more
heats than flashes
He who feels noble is noble; he who
feels mean Is mean.
1t is the what that is said, rather than
the who that said it.
Extreme prosperity may prove to be-
but gilded adversely.
Knowledge is port upstart, educa-
tion is modest genius.
Tho persons afraid their virtue will
be hidden often rake up vice for back
ground.
Who knows no has real worth can
afford to ignore tho laurels Of tho
envious.
Though reading and conversation may
furnish US with many ideas of men and
things, yet it is our own meditation
must form our Judgment.
Love is not altogether dclirium, yet
it has many points ia common there
with. Call it either a discerning Of
the infinite in tho flute, or tho ideal
made real.
Truth is the object of our understand
ing, as good Is of our will; and the IN.
Outstanding can no moro DO lighted
with lie than the will can choose an
apparent evil.

Unprogressfve Persia.

The Persians are very slow in adopt
ing modern implements and methods Of
work. The tools used by them today
in the field and for various other pur-
poses are exactly the same as those in
use by Abraham. The wheel barrow
when introduced recently created a
great sensation. Previous to that a box
similar to tho hod was used by the PEG.
pie for carrying stones and dirt. When,
therefore the one wheeled vehicle was
introduced tho people carried it on their
shoulders as they did tho boxes, and
when shown tho proper way to use
them they were much surprised.
Among the latest improvements in tho
land of Mohammed, says Mr. Stocking,
is the establishment of railroad and
the publication of newspaper. The
principal officer on tho rail is the
conductor whose costume resembles
that of frontiersman some what. Ho
wears fur coat and hat aad gorgcously
colOred leggings. The newspaper is
very much unlike tho American Jour-
mails. 1t is published moro seldom and
has few of the facilities for gathering
news that are in use in this or any Of
the European countries.

ooh, ycs!"Tcried the little fellow,
clapping his hands; then, interrogativcly,
a grave look gathering in his pretty blue
eyes. "And Bob, too2"
A glance passed bet ween husband and
wife, when the former sa d heartily:
"Suppose dame, you keep the little fell
low through the holidays, and, well, Pll
look to the lad. How is it, my boy!
Would you like to work for me?"
"Tip-top, sir" was the ready reply.
And so it came about that these two
waifs-Bob in neat suit, that his kind
benefactor had managed somehow to pro-
cure, and johnnie in little frock, long
treasured by mothers constant love
sat down to Christmas dinner that was
a series of astonishing delights, to these
small folks.
Tears had dimmed the eyes of gentle
''Nlrs. Sanity Claws" as she clothed the
tiny waif in garments tina. once belonged
to her little son, her one ycw lamb. Yet
somehow the touch of Johnnie's baby
fingers carried comfort to her lonely
heart and eased the regret that had long
dwelt there.
That evening as the rescued waif stood
en- Dying the blazing logs and quaint
andirons of the old fashioned fireplace,
Bob suddenly exclaimed:
"Hege we've been havin' no end of
shindy, an yer amt sad grace. Just
yer fire ahead now, an'-an' l'll shove in
prayer, an don't forget my old lady,
cause she started us in on our luck to-
day
Kneeling, the child, clasping his
hands, obediently repeated:
'For what us bout to 'ceive, Lord be
thankful. God bless Sanity Claws, Mrs.
Sanity Claws, the old la ly an Bob an
me, and please let us live here, amen"
"Amcn! An don't yer fcrgit it, lit.
tie 'un, " subjoined Bob, gravely.
AS the child knelt, the freight caress-
ing his golden locks, husband and wife
stole softly in and listened to the prayer
of his baby lips, till, stirred to Its very
depths was the mothers love of tn gen.
tie woman's heart, and so, c.asping her
helpmate's hand, she murmured eagerly;
"Our children, husband"
$50 be it, wife," was the earnest
answer, as, reverently bowling his
head, he added: "And Gods gift

The False Teeth Industry,

In talk the other day with gentle
man largely interested in tho manufac-
ture OF false teeth, some very curious
facts wero given to the Observer. The
number Of artificial teeth made in this
country is Increasing very rapidly.
Last year three OF the largest business
houses engaged in tho trade turned out
noarly 20, 900. 900 of teeth, and this was
not more than half tho actual product OF
the country. One peculiar feature of tho
business 1, that the houses in this coun-
try which do tho most extensive export
trade are obliged to prepare teeth Of
different colors for different countries.
Ia Canada, for instance, tho demand Is
for molars as white as snow, whilo in
South America no such teeth could DO
sold. There they require teeth that
are almost yellow, and the trade from
China. which 1, q very lucrative one, is
for nothiag bat black teeth. The plat
mum which enters 30 largely into tho
manufacture OF teeth all over tho world
h brought from tho Ural Mountains,
and the entire output Of the metal be-
leags to three families who have o.
come immensely wealthy through this,

Christmas In Many Chimes.

In Ireland and in Scotland, as well as
in the most of the British provinces, the
Christmas customs are very much the
same as in England, varied chiefly by
local customs and colored by the history
and habits of the people. The midnight
mass in Ireland, attended by torch
light procession, is very impressive.
Dancing and open-air games amuse the
peasantry on Christmas Day. In the
Scotch highlands the day is devoted to
feasting and drinking, ball playing and
open air games.
"The Americans" says the Two Re.
publics, celebrate Christmas with tree,
the Mexicans with a pinata. Every night
till the twenty fourth inclusive, the pin
alta is broken. 1t is large oaken vessel,
gayly decorated and filled with tooth.
some dulces or candies, hung from the
ceiling in the center of the room. The
children are blindfolded and armed with
sticks to break the jug. Many are the
efforts made by the laughing, rollicking,
joyous young volunteers to make them
selves masters of the situation, which
they finally accomplish when some men,
Der of the blindfolded brigade with a
lucky blow skaters the pinata. The
crash of splintered scattered cookery,
the rattle of bon-bons and the candies
on the floor, is the signal for the wrench
ing off of the mask, and the children
throw themselves upon the sweets,
knowing that Findings is havings.' >"
Presents are then passed AROUND, among
them China baskets, figures and silk and
satin boxes with candies. Dancing then
commences and lasts until morning.

UHEnotcn Sensations,

Sound is tho sensation produced on
US when tho vibrations of the air strike
on the drum of our ear. Whom they
are few tho sound is deep; as they in
crease in number, it becomes shrlller
and shriller; but when they reach forty
thousand in second they cease to be
audible. Light is the effect produced
on us when waves of light strike on tho
eye. When four hundred millions Of
millions of vibrations of ether strike the
retina in second they produce red,
and as the number increases tho color
passes into orange, then yellow,
green, blue and violet. But between
forty thousand vibrations in a second
and four hundred millions Of millions
we have no organs of sense capable Of
receiving the impression. Yet between
che limits any number of sensations may
exist. We have fvo senses, and some
times fancy that no others are possible.
But it is obvious that wo cannot meas.
ure the Infinite by our own narrow linz
itations.
Moreover, looking at the question
from the other side, we find in animals
complex organs of sense, richly supplied
with nerves, but the function of which
we are as yet powerless to explain.
There may be fifty other senses as diff.
feront from ours as sound is from sight,
and even within tho boundaries OF our
own senses, there may DO endless sounds
which we cannot hear; and colors As
different as red from green, of which
we havs no conception. These and .
thousand other questions remain for
solution. Tho familiar world which
surrounds US may be a totally different
place to other animals. To them it
may be full of music which we cannot
hear, of color which we cannot see, Of
sensations which VIC cannot conceive. -

fired, drums are beaten about the streets,
and every sort q noise is made until
