An Expensive Bit of Brag.

In leading restaurant in St. Peters burg six officers of the Imperial Horse guards S:lt recently, it is stated, drinking champagne. Not far from them sat an insignificant little man, with a shabby coat and an unkempt beard, and a glass of liquor in front of him. It was not long before ne became aware that he was being ridicule,i by the officers aforesaid. By and by, as they became more offensive in their remarks on his personal appear ance, the chcapness of what he was drinking, etc.. he called for the waiter and said: Bring me six bottles of your best champagne. The waiter hesi- tatcd. ''Did you not hear what said?" asked tine little man. The waiter brought the wine and six glasses. "Take these glasses away and fetch basin-one as large as you can find" The waiter again hesitated, but obeyed instantly at the peremptory repetition of the order. "A piecc of soap" was the next order. It w9s brought. "A towel" The waiter handed him one. "Now open the bottles." Tie waiter did so Tho little man now filled the basin with the con tents Of the six bottles, rolled up his sleeves, washed himself in the costly fluid, wiped his hands, laid e10 on the table, and, casting a look of whitening contempt upon the officers, strutted out of the room.-LsondOn Standard.

You gain nothing and lose much by calling on the editor personally with your articles, If he be an editor who amounts to anything, he is always busy in office hours. He has no time to talk with you or to listen to your explanations. He wishes you hadn't called, and he is pre- judiced against you and whatever you may have written. He may-probably will-read your article, and if it bo of great merit he may accept it, but he is no moro likely to than if it had reached him through tho mail. In fact, he is not so apt to look favorably upon it, because he reasons that if he does you will call on him again, waste his time and leave another article, and if this should be de- c!ined he naturally supposes that you would call for personal explanation. He would rather treat with you by means of the mail. It saves time and annoyance, and you are sure of being used as well.
 Remember, also. that the only intro duction to an editor that you need is an article which you have written and which he thinks good enough to print. All the friends you may have on earth, never mind how powerful they may be, can never put you on such footing with an editor as will this.-C. NJ. Hammond in The Writer,

Dc Your Best.
TThe Chautauqusn


 It is very common for young men, 1 think, to determine the quality of their work by the price which they are paid for it. I only get, says such a one, S5 a week, and I am sure that I am giving S5 worth of service; If my employer wants more, let him pay more if he wants better let hlm give better wages. This is spacious req soning, but it is false; and 1t is de- structive to the best work, and there fore to the best manhood. No man can afford to do anything less well than his best. He who always strives to do his best work, Tn the very pro- cess of striving will grow better and better. Not only will he grow more skillful in that particular workman ship, but he will be better equipped for other workmanship. This is an absolutely universal law. It is the aoSoiuJely universal road to promo ten.
 The man who is careful to give nothing more than he gets rarely gets more than he gives. The man who works for his own sake, who puts the best part of himself into every blow that be strikes, who mixes all his work, with brain and conscience, who Studies to render the largest possible servlce regardless of the compensation which it brings, sooner or later find his way on and up. The world learns his worth and calls him to higher ser vice. Nor is this all. By stirring himself up to do always the best he can, he grows into power to do bet ter and ever better.

Marriage fin Louisiana.
Newman Herald.)

Ever marry anybody in Louisiana? No. Well, marriage is mighty se- rious matter in that Commonwealth, and the young man who contemplates matrimonial incursion into the Peli- can State cannot be too careful. I know whereof 1 speak, having mar ried there once myself. In the first place a license costs S2.50, and before a minister is allowed to officiate you must not only present your marriage Incense, but are required to give bond and security in the sum of S2500 for the proper maintenance of your pros pective brlde during marrIed life. I'm aglne the dilemma of stranger who arrives in the night, knows nobody except his girl. and wants to get mar ried at early candle light and take the next train. Imagine his embarrass- plent, say, when he finds that he is compelled to go out among a lot of strangers who have all been apprised beforehand of the nature of his expo- dition, and are more or less jealous of him, and make a S2500 bond before the ceremony can proceed. It is wor- risome, 1 can tell you, but it is the Slswesnd zou must either comply or return home alone. No spirited youth will allow himself to be bafled on the brink of the nuptial altar, and of course he complies, even if he has to ask the Sheriff and Town Marshal to % on his bond.

Rocruit. for tho ConsorIntion.

But every picture has two sides, and the darker side of this one comes upon YOU in all its fullness the moment you begin to watch the sad faces of the mothers and sisters and betrothed brides of these poor boys who are going to their doom with such gleeful, minimizing gay ety. Little can it comfort these sorrow ing hearts to know that their darlings are being offered up to that Moloch of s.glory'' in whose honor France has made her children pass through the fire genera ton after generation. And when the news comes a few years hence that Pierre's bones are bleaching amid the rocks of Madagascar, and that the vul- lures have feasted upon Louis corpse in the voiceless solitudes of the Sahara, and that Henri has found an unknown grave among the hideous swamps of Tonquin, where the chill wkite fever mist, dead Her than all the weapons of the "Black Flags" streams up from the gloomy thickets against the red sunset-what then?
 Sauntering away down a quiet lane, as if to escape from the general hurly- -burly, a tall, olive checked lad and young girl, whose bright eyes look unwontedly dim beneath the jaunty scarlet hood that over shadows them. The mat talks hopefully of victory and renown, and a speedy re- turn to her with the honors and rewards that he has won. But the woman's keener instinct feels tho hollowness of these bright visions, and tho voice, which would make every pulse of her heart leap at any other timo, can give her no com fort now. Let'us pity, cveni if we cannot approve. this poor ignorant creature, ! who fails to appreciate theS blessings of war, and is actually benighted enough to regard it not as a civilized and Christian institution, but as bloody and barbarous folly. Perhaps, after all, she is not quite alone in this delusion. ''Would to God that every standing army in Europe could be disbanded tomorrow" said not long ago an old man whose name was Count Hellmuth von Moltke, speaking to another old man whose name was Prince Otto von Bismarck. But the latter had only too goo4 reason for the sinister smile that fitted over his iron face as he an- swered: "That, my dear count, will not happen in your time, or mine either. "- Pyrenees Cor.

Einnev,s Valuable Find.

Louis Banding says the generally ac- cepted statement that the largest nugget ever found in California was worth little moro than $21,0OO is an erroneous one. He says that J. J. Kinney, "Od Virginia, found a piece of gold about six miles from Downieville, Sierra county, on Aug. 21, 1866, that weighed 5000 ounces. The gold of that vicinity was worth SIS per ounce, which would make the value of tho nugget 800, ,OO0 This would make the Finney nugget the largest piece of pure gold ever discovered, so far as accounts go. Heretofore the Austra- lian nugget, found in the Ballarat gold fields, has been considered the largest. It was valued at SGO,000. Finney, or ''Old Virginia, a5 he was familiarly called in those days, afterward went to Washoe when the great silver discoveries were made there, and from him the town of Virginia City took its name. The man who discovered the largest nugget in California and gave his name to the rich est mining camp in the world died in ex- treme poverty.-Grass Valley Union.

At Durango, Colorado, the late city council passed an ordinance placing saloon licenses at $500 per year. When the new council came into office a few days ago, petitions were presented asking the council to reduce the license to S200 year. This caused big commOtiOn among temperance people, and they signed petitions urging the council to keep the license at S5Qe- Thereupon, seven of the principal sA Icon keepers signed a petition to place license at 1000.

Handy to Have in tho House.

A vcritable boon to harassed house. keepers has been discovered. This is the "Witch's Ladder, " "a charm of marvel lous power, says Walford' Antiquarian, from which we take the following trust worthy directions for its manufacture: Take four wheaten straws, tie two to- gethcr. top and bottom, for one side of tine ladder. Tie the other two in the same manner, and then insert short straws between for steps. Now take small feathers and place them up each side of the ladder, and the thing is done. Now, if aught go wrong, if fire will not burn, nor irons heat, let the ladder be waved to and fro in the air, while the re- quest is muttered, and all will be right, i" New York Post.

Before the revolution in France, when a gentleman was invited to din- ner, it was customary for hlm to send his servant with his knife, fork and spoon, or, if he had no servant, he carried them in his brooches pocket. as a carpenter carries his rule. The use of forks was not introduced into Eng land until the time of James I, having been brought from Italy. Their use was ridiculed by many as a superser- viceable piece of fnery Ben John son joined in the laugh against them in his play of "The Devils Ass" In some parts of the West to-day the fork is httle valued, the knife belng used to convey food to the mouth.
