WISE WORDS.

Custom doth make dotards OF us all.
Rumor doth double like the voice and
echo.
No thralls like them that inward
bondage have.
The education of life perfects the
thinking mind, but depraves the frivo-
lous.
The beam of the benevolent eye glveth
value to the bounty which the hand
dispenscs.
No life can be utterly miserable that
is frightened by the laughter and love
of one little child.
The forms required by good breeding,
or prescribed by authority, are to be
observed in social or official life.
Great effects come of industry and
perseverance; for audacity doth almost
bind and mate the weaker sort OF mind.
Hypocrisy is much more eligible than
open infdelity and vice; it wears the
livery of religion, and is cautious OF
giving scandal.
Consult with him that is wise and of
sound judgment, and seek to be IN
structed by one better than thyself,
rather than to follow thine own inven-
tions.
Few people recover from the neglect
or obloquy of their contemporaries. The
public will hardly be at the pains to try
the same cause twice over, or does not
like to reverse its own sentence, at least
when on the unfavorable side.

The Bishop Of London has recently.
made public some interesting statistics
on the religious life of the great city.
According to. his figures, the average
number of communicates at communion
services of tho established church was
l7,714. At Easter tho number rose to
90, 600. The average attendance at Sun
day morning services was 200, 800; at
Sunday evening services 205, 496.
London is remarkably church going
city, but this exhibit shows that it has
about four million inhabitants who
don't attend the services Of the estab-
lished church, and that those who do
constitute only about one-ninth of tho
population.

Wild geese hunters are having fine
sport on Dakota prairics. A sportsman
writes from Newark, Dakota, that he
frequently sees flocks of gees extending
over acres, giving the ground an APP
pearancc Of being covered by an immense
snow bank. A good way to approach
them is by horse and wagon; as the
birds cannot see man in a wagon they
will not rise until the horse is very
near. By urging the horse into hard
run, the hunter is carried directly under
the birds by the time they are fairly up
in the air. He then bangs away with
telling results.

Gruyere cheese, which has been made
BY the farmers of Jura Switzerland,
under system by which each in turn
made cheese of the milk of the whole
community given to him every day, is
now made in a factory to which all the
farmers take their milk, and the pro-
duct of which is common property in
stead of each cheese being the individ-
nal property of the man who made it.
This makes the cheese moro uniform
and Of better quality, and increases the

A Curious Nurse.

by his mahont almost as one of the
family, the grateful animal makes re-
turn for the kindness shown it by voun.
tarly taking care of the baby. It will
patiently permit itself to be mauled by
its little charge, and will show great
solicitude when the child cries. Some
times the elephant will become SO at
tachcd to its baby friend as to insist
upon its constant presence. Such case
is known where the elephant went so far
as to refuse to eat except in the presence
of its little friend. Its attachment was
so genuine that the child's parents would
not hesitate to leave the baby, in the
care, knowing that it could
have no more faithful nurses And the
kindly monster never belied the trust
reposed in it.--St. Nicholas.

A Gifted PuZzler.

Gilbert Stuart, the painter, was rare
humorist. Once, while he was travelling
in u crowded stage-coach in England,
! his mpanions, curious to know the
man who amused them by his witty
remarks, questioned him closely. In
those days gentlemen wore powdered
hair tied in queues, and ladies built upon
their heads pomatumcd top knots.
Stuart gravely replied to his first ques-
toner: II sometimes dress ladies' and
gentlemen's hair"
''You are hair dresser, then?" said
one of the company.
"Whatl Do you take me for bar
ber." exclaimed, Stuart, in serious
tone.
81 beg your pardon, but l inferred as
much from what you said. May ask
what, then, you area"
"Why, / sometimes brush gentle
mans coat or hat, or adjust cravats."
ooh, then you are valet to some noble-
man."
"Indecd, am not! am not ser
want; though, to be sure, | make coats
and waistcoats for gentlemen"
"Oh, you are tailor"
'Tailor Do look like one2 / as
sure you that never handled goose
that was not roasted"
"What are you, then?" asked half q
dozen voices; for by this time all were
laughing uproariously.
''I'll tell you," said Stuart. "What I
have said is literally true. l dress hair,
brush hats and coats, adjust cravat,
and make coats, waistcoats and breeches,
and brush also boots and shoes"
'.Ha ha! A boot and shoe maker,
after all!''
Guess again, gentlemen. l never
handled boot or shoe save for my own
feet Yet al have aaids isstrne. 4.
I'VE may as well give up guessing, d
said one Of the company. 7ss 81 Hefs too

snow, gentlemen, said Stuart, taxi
ing pinch of snuff, "Ill not play the
fool with you any longer. Upon my
word of honor, get my living by max

countcnance that the stage-coach shook
with laughter.
''Therc, just as thought!" exclaimed
one, ''the gentleman is comedian"
81 never was on the stage, and Iseldom
see the insds of a playhouse" answered
Stuart.
The myst;fed company looked at each
other with astonishment.. Just then the
stage-coacb stopped at the place where
Stuart was 10 get Oft.
"Gentleu.en," said he, ''you will find
that all l have said of my various en-

The year 1887, so far as the South is
concerned, was, in many respects, the
most remarkable year in its history, as more
was accomplished for the progress and
prosperity of the whole South than ever
before in the same length of time.
From Maryland to Texas, progress was
remarkable, covering almost the entire
range of industry, and there is scarcely q
line of manufacturing or mining business
in the whole number of new enterprises
reported during 1887, that is not more
than twice as large as in 1886. OF the
fourteen Southern states there are only
four in which the capital invested in new
enterprises was not double the amount in
vested the year before.
The amount of capital, including capi-
tai stock of incorporated companies

invited him into the cozy reception room in
her apartments at the New York hotel.
There We're two paths open to me, jour-
nalism or the stage, and l chose the latter.
1t is not alone my choice, but according to
the advice of all my friends-that is, with
few exceptions, one of whom wrote me a few
days ago to ask if it were true, and loudly
declaiIning against any such publicity. To
that kind of letters have but one reply

never having appeared upon the stage either
as amateur or professional, although some
newspapers insist that have. But this you
can say authoritatiyely, that with the excep-
tion of one occasion when l sang in an anna

NO. I am not strong enough for that vet:

wife laughed heartily at the appropriate
campaign cry.
Again, as the thought of her past troubles
came before her, the merry smile gave place
to saddened look, as she said:
"During my convalescence weighed the
matter thoroughly and felt that with return

266,Os4s6 During the Year.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-The report Of the
secretary of the treasury was sent to con
gress as soon as it opened. Here are some
figures:
The United States took in last year $370, :.
266, 074 76 He calls these 1.-THE ordinary re-
ceipts,n but they will seem TO most people
very extraordinary indeed. They amount tc
a little more than 81, ,000, 900 day, Sundays.
holidays and summer vacation included.
Uncle Sam collected $2l9, ,091, 17S6S last
year from his chain of branch stores scattered
up and down the 10, 600 miles of seacoast on
his farm, and along the 5000 mile fence on
the north and south frontier. That $780,
100000 was his profit ON the protection
system.
The next best customer for Uncle Sans
big store is called, for short, internal rev
enue. From this source was derived $l24,
296 S71 9S.
But this doesn't exhaust the story by any
means. Uncle Sam is also in the real estate
business In one way and another he ac.
quired an immense territory SO big he didn't
know what to do with it, and, although In
his good nature he gave much OF it away for
nothing, he sells a strip now and then, anG
last year made sll ,202. OF. % by this means.
Then he is banker from Bankerville, and
his profits on coinage bullion deposits and
assays were s., ,SS7 ,634 4S. Other sources OF
revenue, large enough to make an ordinary
millionaire's head swim, but insignificant TO
such a free-and-easy Millionaire as Uncle
Sam, swell the receipts to the sum already
named.
just to show the scale of the business we
may mention that from tax on sealskins he
derived $3l7 800, and from old navy hulks
$105,665 SO.
But this is only one side of the ledger
Uncle Sam is not a miser. Generally speak
ing he spends good share of his income and
he applies what is left TO paying off trivial
debt OF 81, SOC, 600 900 which he incurred in
stopping free fight ON his farm quarter Of
century ago.
More than half of this debt is paid already,
and he is vexed because those who hold his
notes won't sell them back as fast as he wants
to buy them.
Last year he paid interest on this debt to
the tune of $44, ,715, ,00747 Then in addition,
being no end generous, he paid $50. .2SS, sos "a
in pensions to the heroes of that big fight
just referred to- and to their widows and or
phans.
1t is big pile Of money, but Uncle Sam
claims the proverb lies which says that re-
publics are ungrateful, and puts up his money
to show it. Then there is the rent and clerk
hire, amounting in all to about SCI, ,00O, 600.
His army cost $3S 522, ,436. IL, but that in-
cluded civil engineering, deepening channels,
guessing at the weather. and a multitude Of
other specalties which go Ia the catalogue for
war, but have not much gore about them.
