Hereditary Tricks.

A case is on record of man who possess
ed the habit OF sleeping on his back with the
right leg crossed over the left. His daughter,
while still an infant in the cradle, exhibited
the same popularity. The possibility of imi-
taiion, conscious or unconscious, is here OBJ
viousy excluded A case has been reported
TO the writer of a man who had the habit of
alternately flexing and extending his great
toe while lyingin bed. His grandson develop
ed the same habit, though quite ignorant OF
his grandlather's peculiarly. Ribot records
a curious instance of domestic servant who
exhibited an incurabe vice Of loquaciiy. She
talks necessarily to any one who would
listen, to animals, to inanimate objects, and
even to herself. When upbraided with her
folly, she said ii was not her fault, as her
father had possessed just the same habit, and
had almost driven her mother distracted.

The Mourning Of the Poor.

Nothing is more pitiful than the emblems
OF mourning of the very poor. On one side
OF the doorway of one of the most poverty
stricken and repellant tenement houses bit
OF white mourning fluttered in the bitter
winter air. 1t was cheap mourning, and
therefore more mournful than any other.
Composed OF a rosette of coarse muslin, with
a painfully small knot of the poorest white
satin ribbon, it told its story of restitution
more forcibly than language could possibly
portray it. The hall was mass OF snow and
ice. Its door stood wide open, and no tun-
mel could be colder. Every window In the
miserable building was dark and dirty as a
coal mine. Yet, within these hideous walls
human beings lived, suffered and died. Who
could help looking upon that pathetic bit of
mourning and keep from saying: at is well
with the child, He will walk In no evil WAYS;
lie will know no evil thought; he will do no
evil deed"

venerable New Yorker recently adyer-
Used asking any one who wished to 90 to
Europe under pleasant auspices to apply to

was seen late one night by a young man who
had been dining freely. Negotiated awhile
and then told the club porter to call cab
Into which the porter hoisted him. He told
the man to drive to the address given in the
advertisement, Arrived there, lie was as
sisted to the sidewalk, and with much dignity
ordered tie cabby TO practice on the knock

The Great Porcelain Tower.

Nothing made Marking so much celebrated
abroad as the Porcelain tower, which was
one of the wonders of the world 1t stood
prominently beyond all similar buildings
for its completeness and elegance and the
quality of material of which It was built. 1t
cost $40QQ000, and was ninety years in
building, Deing completed in A. d. 1880. The
outer face Of this unique structure was coy
cred with slabs of porcelain Of various colors.
At every one OF its nine stories there was
projecting roof covered with green tiles, and
bell was suspended from each corner.
There were 152 bells in all, which gave sweet
sounds when there was brisk wind. One
hundred and twenty-eight lamps were hung
on the outside.

LENTEN THOUGHTS.

Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile"
o. thou who feelest life's journey long,
Aud fain would'st with a listless song
The time begule.
Leave now the world. its gain, its loss,
Come sit beneath the Saviour's cross
And rest awhile.
Oh. thou poor, weary, anxious one.
Toiling from morn to set of sun,
Nor yet one smile
To soothe that dull and aching heart,
o, come now from theyself apart
And rest awhile.
Thou child of pleasure. bright aud gay,
Happy and thouRhtless day by day,
Thou, too, needst rest,
Lest in thy joy and selfish pride
Thou shouldst forget the One who died
To make thee blest.
And thou, cen though thy life has been
One long and unrepented sin,
So dark, SO vile;
Though all the'world Cypress and hate,
He calls thee now ere tits too late,
To rest awhile.
To every true and faithful heart,
Christ says Come ye yourselves apart
And rest awhile"
He knows the laborers are few,
And surely thou hast much TO do,
Yes, rest awhile.
Rest now from all thy toll and care,
Rest meath the Saviour's cross, for there
Shalt thou be blest.
u, God, when life's long day is done.
When through Times glass the sand has run
o, grant to every weary one
Heavenly rest.

The Appeal eulogizoss highly, the
speech of Col. A. S. COlyar before

things, lays: Mr.. ColYar, who has
clearly defined views on most qusE-
tions, was never as happy in all his
long career as he was last night, lie
never spoke or appeared to better
advantage, and this because he was
definite. Broad, liberal and pro
or essive, he is a man the DsmoC
cratic party would delight to hOnor
if he was only in line with ali its
policies and in harmony with all its
purposes. No man has a clearer
comprehension OF the place Tsnnes
see occupies ir the industrial ran ks,
no man has a clearer view Of her
resources, and few men at any tina
her history have done
as much to make her
resources and advantages plain to
the outside word. Ia this good work
he has made speeches, but non e
more effective or pointed than tn at
Of last night.
Now Fit 1t is a fact as the APP
peal saYs(and there can be no doubt
Of IT'D that Col Nolyar understands
the interests OF Tennessee SO well
and has done so much to fur ther
those interests, VII should not the
Democracy honor himl and why
should not the party join HIM in his
efforts to increase the prsspe itY of
til state, instead of throwing obtsa-
cIes in hB way?' The Appeal says

mental in building up the resource 5
