PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The courageous swim, the coward
sinks.
Judge charitably and act kindly to
each other.
A wise man is not in quisitive about
things impertinent.
In order to show your grandeur don't
reduce your fellow being.
Silence is field which is sowed by
one and owned by another.
No man can be providcnt of his time
who is not prudent in the choice Of his
company.
One good act done to-day is worth
thousand in contemplation for some
future time.
Whosoover speakcth Of another's fail
uro with pleasure, shall hear Of his own
with shame.
Talents arc best maturcd in solitude,
character is best formed in tho stormy
pillows Of the world.
Let friendship gently creep to
height; If it rushes to it, it may soon
run itself out of breath.
Manage all your actions and thoughts
in such a manner asif you were just
going out Of the world
Thinking mon are always critics.
There is lut short stop to take TO
make critic stickler
II one tells you that the world has
hardened his heart do not believe him;
he was born hard-hcarted.
Order is the sanity of the mind, the
health of the body, the peace Of tho
city, the security Of the state.
Many men claim to be firm in their
principles, when really they aro only
obstinate in their prejudiccs.
Light as gossamer is the circumstance
which can bring ujoymont to the con
science which is not its own accuscr
Every man has his secretsorrows which
the world knows not; and oftcntimss
we call man cold when he il only sad.

An Inventors Romance.

NY father was the master machinist

Our home was unpretentious, though
comfortable. My brother and l were
impressed with the idea that the height
of mans ambition was attained when he
became a master mechanic
Having been graduated from school
at IA, / was ambitious to enter the
Summervile Academy, where the higher
branches were taught and young meu
were prepared for college. My father
could not afford it, as he had six mouths
to fill, and very capacious mouths they
were, to judge by the rapidity with
which they emptied the flour barrel /

of the village school, and he recommend

academy, who wanted boy around the
place to make himself generally useful,
for which he got tuition free. I was
soon installed as general utility at the
academy
Charley Rawson and l formed the
primary Latin class, and we quickly
became fast friends. Charley and his
sister had been left orphans at tender
age, and were adopted by a childless
uncle, whose wealth was to revert to
them. l envied his advantage in having
Judge Rawson to assist him when he
got stuck in his translations. Night

Shooting Wild Geese in Dakota
From the Minneapolis Tribune.


In Dakota there prevails among the ma
tives a most Inspiring method of pursuit.
When at distance you perceive flock of
geese garnering the golden grain in blissful
Inconsistencies of approaching evil he tacks
up toward them in most unconscious and
innocent sort of way, just as though he had
some funny business 10 attend to in that
particular field. The geese feed on uncon-
sciously, doubtless connecting the approach
ing team with plows and oxen and farm
work, to which they have long been accus-
toned. Finally, when the team is nearly
in range, they become somewhat suspicious
and prepare for fight, Tapping their tails
and stretching their neckS toward the other.
This is the vital moment. The jehu APP
plies the wimble good and the broncho's fly
over the prairie with the wings of light
ming. The hunting wagon sails over the
plowed ground, occasionally striking the
solid ground to get a new start while the
hunters hang desperately to the seats. and
are filled to the eyes and ears with stubble,
plowed ground and chaf. A goose al
though generally keeping up with the in
teliectual procession upon such an occasion
as this, is reduced to a lamentable state of
desuetude. Filing the air with incoherent
lamentations, they rush about hithor and
yon, undecided whether to fly or fall nobly
in the breach. Now, a goose has to get
run to give it start when it rises, and, as it
can only rise against the wind, if you ap-
proach on the leeward side, the goose is
compelled to meet you half way. Thus
one has ample opportunity to ruffie the
plumage of such a bird before it can get
well out of range.

MEDICAL HYpOCHoNDRIACs.
Doctors Who Become Cranks Regard
ing the State of Their own Health.
Physician in Globe Democrat.


Physician in Globe Democrat
So many people are hypochondriacs that
a physician expect: to find one-third of his
patients laboring under imaginary ills. II
is easy for people to exaggerate symptoms,
and, by giving themselves into the hands OF
quacks, become confirmed victims of i'll
health What is not at all unusual is to
find physicians who have become thor
oughly hypod. Many of them, with great
reput alton and large practice, and capable
of diagnosing any case, become cranks con
corning their own health. They exagger-
ate the slightest symptoms into dangerous
cases, and believe they have chronic
troubles when they would know that, in a
patient, it would be but slight lndlsposl-
ton. Most physicians are not competent
to treat themselves, and many OF them are
confirmed hypochondriacs.
Medical students begin early to imagine
themselves afflicted with the various dis
eases they are studying. / remember when
at college had roommate who became
hypoed after entering the course. One day
he caught cold, and that night suddenly
informed me he believed he was going to
die. as he was certain that he was afflicted
with new malignant fever which we had
been studying that day. l went lmme-
diately for one of the professors, and he not

friend some simple remedy, and later the

he lifted the almost insensible Lindwall
back over the counter with a savage kick
and sprang after him in his haste for re-

By this time quite crowd had collected,
with several policemen among the number;
These rushed to the rescue of Lindwall, and
after fierce struggle with Carver succeeded
in holding him until the fearfully punished
operator could be borne away TO place OF

When Mr.. Carver had time to catch his
breath he put on the new operator in Lind
wallis place and gave orders allowing traffic
on the railroad to be resumed.
1t is hoped that Lindwall will be able to
be out in couple of weeks. When the ma

A Fortunate Song-Writer.
From the MdianapoLis Neics.


Probably the most fortunate of all popu-
lar song writers, from financial point OF
view, is Frank Howard, whose income from
his first song hit, "Only Pansy Blossom, "
is said to have been more than $4,000 In a
he IS a well-known negro minstrel singer,
and, therefore, has unusual opportunities
for introducing his songs to the public and
making them popular. This fact is thor
oughly understood and appreciated by his
publishers, who, who on that account pay
him royalties much larger than they other
wise would, and probably much larger than
any ever given to any other composer of
popular ballads. Howard is the son OF an
iowa clergyman, and in a hayward mood
left home at au early age. He was singing
in the streets TO draw crowd around the
wagon Of liver-pad pedGler, in western
city. when Mit Barlow, the well known
minstrel manager, discovered" him and
put him on the minstrel stage.

upon the latter like an enraged tiger, and
proceeded to wipe the cobwebs from of the

of United States army discipline. A
certain commanding officer in one OF
our lonely military outposts entertain
ed a great aversion to q subaltern I'M
der his com mand. 1t was an open
secret that this commanding officer
had, on moro than one occasion, ex-
pressed his intention of running the
young fellow. The threat was not
needed; but sometime afterward the
little post was astOnished to learn that
it was the intention of the command
inc officer to hold a court martial upon
this officer for having been drunk
while on duty. This amazed the civil
liam and soldier. rs it was well known
that the accused was no more guilty
of drunkenness than any of the other
officers. But the fiat went forth, and
officers from other garrisOns were sum-
moned to attend the court martial.
They assembled at this post and all
proceeded to get most uproarOusly
drunk. Their sprees lasted so long
that it was impossible to hold the court
martial. and, as far as could learn, the
proceedings were summArily dropped.
