The skill which Mr.. Clay learned In
boyish encounters was of use to him after
ward, for statesmen in Kentucky were
addicted to fisticuffs. The Hon. James
G. Sprigg, a member of the Kentucky
legislature, and afterward elected to con-
gress, had been very fortunate in such
affairs He once, when in his cups, COM
municated to Mr.. Clay the secret of his
success. 1t was to advance upon hE.
enemy with pleasant expression of
eountenance, and, having thus thrown
him off his guard, to strike him a heavy
blow in the face, and keep at it until he
was beaten. Messrs. Clay and Sprigg
afterward quarreled, and met by accident
at the hotel, in room occupied by a
number of the members. Gas soon, :"
says Mr. Clay, ''as Sprigg, who was evil
IDENTIFY awaiting my arrival, saw me, he
advanced past all these gentlemen toward
me, with pleasant look, without speak
ing remembered his methods, and
when he got within reach, without word
IN either side, 1 gave him a severe blow
in the face and brought him staggering to
the floor" AS often as Mr.. Sprigg would
rise, Mr.. Clay would repeat the blow, and
hus easily beat his antagonist. Mr..
Clay speaks of this as comic; most of his
affairs, however, with knife and pistol,
we're of the tragic order.-The Argonaut.

Hindoo Pagoda at Singapor,


Through the open doors of the sanctuary
may be seen burning hanging lamps.
Gods, with great terrifying heads, appear
at the farther end of the edifce, surround
ed by mysterious symbols, the floor before
them being strewed with stemless flowers
that diffuse far and wide the fragrance of
iessamineS and tuberoses
Three or four Hindoos are there, on
guard, young men scantily clad in short
cotton drawers, with hair like a girls
falling to their shoulders; they have a saw
age aspect, and the white of their eyes re-
;embleS enamel. Their faces are hand
some and their cheeks are beardless; but
On their round bosoms grows disgusting
black fur; their appearance is astonishing
md repelling; we might imagine that they
we're part woman, part monkey and part
Wild beast.
There, although In close proximity to
gods, they talk and laugh as if the divini-
ties were their boon companions. One of
them takes an armful of jessamine flow
ers, strung together as a garland, and
crosses the court beneath the roseate
moon. He goes to p small, solitary
chapel, where stands an idol which seems
more ancient than any Of the others. 1t
Is a divinity with six arms, high head
dress and big glass eyes Of ferocious as
pect. He is there alone, small lamp
that through respect has been lighted in
front of him being his only company.
Without even casting a look upon the
god, the youth places his jessamine flow
ers in a dish on the floor, just as one
would put food before abeast.-Singapore

''Have you seen the latest novelty in
watches?' asked a Broadway jeweler of
reporter.
The reporter hadn't, and said so.
''WelI, - resumed the jeweler, "I'll show
it to you 1t is worn on the little finger of
the left hand. You don't believe it? Look
here
He reached into the showcase and
brought forth seal ring.
"Now," said he, that looks like the
ordinary seal ring 1t isn't, though"
A spring just beneath the setting was
touched and the stone flew open like the
cover of watch and revealed miniature
dial with tiny gold hands. The reporter
raised it to his ear. The little timepiece
was ticking away with the regularity OF
its bigger brethren. From the top of the
stone setting projected a very small bev-
eled stem FOR winding.
''How long will it Iast?'' asked the re.
porter.
'sIt is miracle of invention said the
ieweler. 'fThe works are reduced to the
smallest possible compass, and they'll last
as long as those in the ordinary watch.
They are worth $40, but they are hardly
we'll on the market as yet. New York

of stopping just before sunrise and allow

argue that if dog goes to sleep while it

Wichita eagle., 1888-11-16

Games have good influence on the char
acter of boys They cultivate good temper,
self control, endurance, quick Judgment ard
pluck in adverse circumstances There is
sometimes an outcry against certain school
games on sccount of accidents and ''cold
catching As fact, however, there are
not more accidents from well organized
games Of baseball or football than occur dur
ing the BY play Of an equal number of boys;
and, as regards "colds," they can be often
prevented by proper dressing in flannel,
changing after playing, and by avoiding
standing about watching the games The
spectators who stand in rain and cold winds
are really the sufferers from cold
Parents should remember that If the boy is
not playing, he is probably occupied IN pur-
suits not innocent or healthy. Tie idle boy,
who lounges about, soon apes his elders, and
beconss unhealthy, morally and physically,
a nuisance and corrupting influence to all
around him. For realiy dsiicate boys useful

Concerning Mercenary Marriages.

We find number of women thrown oa
the world to earn their own living in the
face of every sort of discouragement. Com
petition runs high for all, and even were
there no prejudice to encounter, the struggle
would be hard one; as it is, life for poor
and single women becomes mere treadmill.
1t is folly to inveigh against mercenary mar
riages, however degrading they may be, for
a glance at the position of affairs shows
that there is no reasonable alternative. We
cannot ask every woman to be heroine and
choose nard and thorny path when COM
paratively smooth one tas it seems offers
itself, and when the pressure Of public opin-
ion urges strongly in that direction.
A few higher natures will resist and swell
the crowds of worn out, underpaid workers,
but the majority will take the voice Of soci-
ETY. for tho voice of God, or at any rate Of
wisdom, and our common respectable mar
riage-upon which the safety Of all social
existence is supposed to rest-will remain, as
it is now, the wc4st, because the most hypo-
critical, form Of woman purchase. Thus we
have on the one side a more or less degrading
marriage, and on the other side number Of
women who cannot command an entry into
that profession, but who must give up health
and enjoyment of life in losing battle with
the world-Mona Caird in Westminster

A Girls Toilet Articles.

A sensible girl will not keep lot Of cos
metics and drugs on her toilet table, but there
are few articles she should always have in
a convenient place. She should have an ar
ray of glass stopped bottles containing alco-
hol, alum, camphor, borax, ammonia and
glycerine or vaseline. A little camphor and
water may be used as q wash for the mouth
and throat if the breath is not sweet. Pow
dered alum applied to fever sore will pre-
vent it from becoming very unsightly or
noticeable. Insect stings or eruptions on the
skin are relieved by alcohol A few grains
of alum in tep;d water will relieve people
whose hands perspire very freely, rendering
them unpleasantly moist. A few drops Of
sulphuric acid in the water are also beneficial
for this purpose and are also desirable for
those whose feet perspire freely. We should
always recommend care in the use of scented
soap; in many cases the perfume is simply q
disguise for poor quality. A good glycerine
or honey soap is always preferable. OF
course one may rely on scented soap from q
high class manufacturer, but 1t usually costs
more than it is worth In addition to the
soap for bathing, white CASTLE should be
kept for washing the hair. Occasionally a
little borax or ammonia may be used for this
purpose, but it is usually too harsh in its
effects.-Rural New Yorker.

create about themselves an ever widening

TO be drafted to make populous other para
discs, it is possible only as we SO train them
that they shall have paradise spirit and fit

nobler or greater than home building! What

Taste in the Household.

Edmund Russell, the artist and lecturer,
says: "Don't emblazon your front door with
nrnored knights and rampant lions, because
they don't belong or grow here. Don't put
your initials or your name over everything
you possess, so that people who pick up fork
or look at pillow sham will read John
Smith, my property It's all right to mark
things Of use in some such away, but not
things Of beauty, and if you must SO mark
them make the letters small and put them on
the back of the object, not the front. The
lady who wears her initials in diamonds on a
brooch is vulgar. The man who prints his
monogram on his china does useless thing,
for nobody is going to run away with his
dishes
'Don't assert too much at the table. Don't
be too snowy and complex. Don't make
your napkin rings too emphatic and obtru-
sive. Put flowers on the table, but place
them loosely or in glass, for if you put them
in china or any other opaque substance you
conceal half their beauty, namely their stems
Don't entirely cover your wall with pictures,
and when you have a picture don't let the
shop keeper kill it with big gold frame.
Try bronze or something that will relate to
the picture on the wall and not make it stand
out like big shiny spot of color and gilt

Society's Pet FoibIc.

The cynic wants to know what is gained
for any rational being when a city full of
women undertake to make and receive for
NAL visits with persons whom, for the most
part, they do not wish to see. What is
gained, he asks, by leaving cards with all
these people and receiving their cardsl When
a woman makes her tedious rounds why is
she always relieved to find people not ina
When she can count upon her ten fingers the
people she wants to see, why should she pre-
tend to want to see others, Is any one de-
ceived by iti Does anybody regard it as
anything but sham and burdenl
Much the cynic knows about i'll Is it not
necessary to keep up what is called society9
Is it not necessary TO have en- authentic list
of pasteboard acquaintances to invite to re-
ceptionsl And what would become of US
without receptionsa Everybody likes to give
them. Everybody focks to them with great
alacrity. When society calls the roll, We all
know the penalty Of being left out Is there
any intellectual or physical pleasure equal to
that of jamming SO many people into house
that they can hardly move, and treating
them to q Babel Of noises in which no one
can make herself heard without screamings
There is nothing Ike reception in any I'M
civilized country. 1t is so e1hilaratingl-
