Human Labor for Others.

Maj. Powell, the able anthropologrist,
says in his recent lecture on "Evolu-
ton" that "all honest men are working
for other men. If a man works exclu-
sively for himself he Is a counterfeiter
OF forger, or a sneak thief or a high
wayman. All love of industry, all love
OF integrity, all love OF country and of
humanity is expressed in labor for
others. One man is trying to make
better houses for his neighbors; another
man is trying to make better laws for
his neighbors, and another man is try
ing to make better books for his neigh
bors. Every man is thus forever dwell
ing upon the welfare of his neighbors
and making his best endeavor for their
good. So the habit grows from gener-
alton to generation, until at last some
men forget there is private or per-
sonal reward, and labor for their fellow
men because of their love for their fell
low men,"

How Inventions are Made.

Great achievements are generally ac
complished by gradual steps, and by
patient, persevering effort rather than
by some sudden brilliant stroke. II is
an utter mistake, for instance, to sup
pose that notable inventions spring full
fiedged from a few unusually gifted
brains. 1t is true that certain names
are associated with the great historical
inventions-as that of Fulton with the
steamboat. Stevenson with the rail-
way, and Morse with the telegraph
but study of the subject always shows
that the way for these master minds
had been prepared by series of expe-
riments and gradual advances made by
their predecessors.
The most fertile and promising Held
for the inventors genius at the pres
ent time is undoubtedly the develop
ment and improvement of already ex-
isting inventions. Many useful and
profitable ideas OF this kind have been
worked out by mechanics or artisans
who are constantly using the original
devices, and who. through long ac-
quaintance with them, gradually dis.
cover ways in which they might be i'm
proved.
This illustrates the fact that the first
step toward introducing an improved
method In any art, manufacture or pro
cess whatever, Is a thorough practical
knowledge of the subject.

To my mind the Joke most deserving
of yeneration Is the one which con
Germs itself with the chicken who Is
evidently on the wrong side of the
street. This is the way in which 1t
used to shape itself in the old days:
''Why does a chicken cross the
street?n

'To get on the other side, of course?"
OF course there are great many
chestnuts which run this one pretty
close so far as antiquity is concerned,
One of the old chestnuts on this SUBJ
ject ran as follows:
''Pompey, we got berry modest gal
down to our house. Mlssus wanted
her to sleep up in her sewing room last
night aud de gal objected to do so.

indefinitely. One OF the latest forms
of 1t is, as the gallery boy Will tell you.
Is about the girl vino Is so modest in
the presence of her lover that she in
variable goes into the next room when
she wants to change her mind
One of the oldest chestnuts that the
minstrel and variety stage know any
thing about used to be told in this way:

the deacon, don't you? Well, de oder

chase he got kinder exhausted, and

ACELESTIAL ANlESTHETIC

MISUNDERSTANDING for Cocaine

1t is my pleasure and privilege TO be
the friend of an amiable and intelligent
gentleman OF the Chinese persuasion.
whose occupation IS to ''washee, wash
ee. two dollars and a haluf dozen.'
His prices are somewhat eXorbltant,
but he is a great lavatory artist, and,
like Melssonler, he can afford TO ask

that he was very unwell and my wash

also that he would Ike to see me. i

head wound about with long and
sIIken queue and industriously occu-

Exercising Care In Drinking.

An exchange notices as wise pre-
caution the act of a Philadelphia ply
slcian, who, while riding in a railroad
car, gave one of his children drink of
water by spreading a clean handker-
chief over the top of the glass 10 pre-
vent the contact of the chIld's lips
with the tumbler- a still better ex-
pedIent with the same object in view
has often been resorted to by the writer,
and his children have been instructed
to practice the same precaution when
obliged to drink from mug or tumbler
on the cars, steamboats, or at public
drinking fountains. 1t consists in
bringing the lower edge OF the drinking
cup beneath the lower lip, instead OF
letting it come in contact with the
mucous membrane of the mouth.
Teach the children 10 stick the whole
bill into the cup when they take q
drink under such circumstances, for If
avoids real and considerable danger
Of infection from certain contagious
diseases.

He Was an Adopted Child.

A sad incident of the civil war came
to the notice of reporter the other
day. y young man well known in New
\ ork and other cities by large mum
Der of business men has had partic-
ularly unpleasant experience. For the
past quarter of a century he has lived
in town near that city with wealthy
family, which he had every reason to
claim as his own. The other day, for
the first time, he learned accidentally
that he had no claim upon the family
name. After touching interview
with his supposed relatives, he learned
the following story. At the close OF the
war, the needy widow of a Union
soldier was the mother OF an infant boy
whom she could not support. She de-
cided to secure her baby's adoption,
and after some hard work she managed
TO interest a wealthy gentleman in her
case. She signed papers giving the
child absolutely to his foste--parents
They had brought him up tenderly and
loved him as though he had been their
own offspring. They had, however,
carefully refrained from telling him of
his real parentage. Although his af-
fection is naturally not lessened for
those whom he has been taught to love,
lie has an ardent desire to learn more
about his mother. Whether he Will
ever find her or not is problematlcal as
she has not been heard from for years.

How the PIous Rebuked the Profane
Parrot

Once upon time, as they say in
fairy stories, a wicked Major in the
United States Army crossed the At
lanJic In a steamer. In the next room
TO his was spinster of certain age,
as thoroughly good as the Major was
wicked. Both OF them were accompan-
led by parrots of large conversational
powers. The Major was taking par
rot to England to present to friend in
the English army; the spinster appar-
emily had brought along the bird as a
travelling companion. Both birds were
exceptionally clever lInguists, but their
talents had been nodded In opposite
schools. The Majors bird swore like
trooper most OF the time, while the
spinster's was given to praying with
forty parson power.
And, to make matters worse, the Major
spent day in the forecastle with hIs
bird teaching it to objurgate the old
woman In the next cabin. The conse-
quenee was that the next evening the
spInstsr was a.tonished to hear a voice
stridently say: "Confound that old
woman next doorl''
But how can her disgust be pictured
when her own bird, devoutly quoting
from the Episcopal Litany, replied
Good Lord. we beseech thee to heal

It had grown very bad indeed, and now
the Chinese doctor was coming from
Mott street aud had suggested that IL
might be necessary 10 cut Of his finger,
which made his mental anguish greater
than the phy sical suffering. at this
juncture the doctor came, and the
solemn importance of his manner
would have done credit to DIR. Morell
Mackenzie himself. After examining
the finger he calculated to postpone the
amputation and endeavor to save 1t by
lancing and careful treatment. Lee
Loo shrunk from even this with great
fear, since the slightest touch to his
thumb appeared to be excruciating.
Here comes the point of this story
The doctor got out his instruments,
and while he was occupied thus sent
Lee Loo's partner to the nearest
grocery for a few table5poonfuls or
-four. He then took from one OF his
many mysterious pockets All odd look
ing glass box which contained live
frog; over the frog he sprinkled
the flour and then pricked him gently
several times with long pin Under
this provocatIon the frog exuded 4
viscid fluid which turned the dour into
paste. This the doctor carefully scrap
box The paste he dissolved in small
cup of tepld water and in this water
made Lee Loo place his afflicted finger.
AS the effect of this curious treatment
began to be felt the distortion of the
afflicted Celestlal's countenance began
to disappear, and in ten minutes the
doctor removed the finger from the
water and calmly operated upon 1t
without evidently causing the patient
any more pain than he would in trim
ming his nails. L stood by open mouth
