It is very common for young men, l
think, to determine the quality Of their
work by the price which they are paid for
1t. l only get, says such a one, s. q week
and am sure that l am giving 50 worth
of service; if my employer wants more. let
him pay more; if he wants better, let him
give better wages. This is specious reason
ing, but it is false; and it is destructive to
the best work, and therefore TO the best man
hood. No man can afford to do anything
less well than his best. He who always
strives to do his best work, in the very pro.
cess Of striving, viii grow better and better.
Not only will he grow more skillful in that
particular workmanship, but he will be bet
ter equipped for other workmanship This
is an absolutely universal law. it is the abso-
iutely universal road to promotion.
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 he strikes, who mixes all
his work with brain and conscience, who
studies to render the largest possible service
regardless of the compensation which It
brings, sooner or later viii find his yyav on
and up The world learns his worth and
calls him TO higher service Nor Is this all
By stirring himself up TO do always the best
that he can, he grows into power 30 do Bet
,er and ever better

Mrs. Ulysses s. Grant.

OF the living wives OF presidents Mrs
Ulysses S. Grant leads as quiet life rs aay.
She has gone to Florida now With the family
Of Ex-Governor Leland Stanford. with whom
she is very intimate She has Of late been
writing "reminiscences. When Col. Fred
Grant was asked if she meant to publish them
in u book he replied that her work in that
way was entirely matter Of impulse, and
that there was no certainty as yet whether
it would ever be printed. 1t is sure that size
will not lack opportunity Uncounted pub
fishers are bidders for the manuscript. bui
they are told that she has nothing to sell.
The probability is that Mark Twain's firm,
having done 50 well for her and themselves
in the issue Of Gen. Grants memoirs, will be
able and willing to outbid their rivals
Nevertheless, when Ulysses S. Grant, Jr..
went into The Cosmopolitan Magazine as
vice president and stockholder, it was thought
in literary circles that Mrs Grant would
help him by putting her "reminiscences into
that periodical Col Grant denies strenu-
ously that his brother is being backed in any
other way than by loan Of money from his
mother, and the authorized assertion is thAt,
shares Of the stock stand in young
Ulysses name, be is trustee for her. That is
a legal technicality to protect him as a bank
rupt from the Grant & Ward failure. Nv
careful prediction is that Mrs. Grant will
publish something within the year.-Clara

There was a vast amount Of kindness shown
by the correspondents who wrote about the
empere's appearance in his cofin. On my
way from Dublin to Berlin-a Journey bv the
way which / made in the noticeablv short
time Of thirty-seven hours-I was struck bv
the fact that all the newspapers said the dead
kaiser looked serene and happy, and that
there was no signof suffering to be seen in
his face. He was 81 yeGr; old when be
died, and it seemed incredible to ME that
the appearance Of the face could be as de
scribed. I joined a multitude Of nearly
100000 people, was wedged in and
Ia the course Of seven hours / came 10

and distorted. The upper lip had dropped
into the mouth apparently. 1t was not as

An EMBARRASSING Situation.

One night last week at Albaugh's a
young man filed in and down the middle
AISLE accompanied by seven girls. When
they reached the row which he had re-
served the girls passed in and took their
seats, but the young man stood and looked
at them in state Of puzzled perplexity.
There were eight seats besides his own,
and only seven girls were there to fill
them. He counted them over carefully
and he couldn't make the count come out
right to save his life. The girls were
bothered, too, and they began to count
noses and compare labels. Finally one of
them sung out, so that everybody could
hear: ooh Clara Baker" Here the
young man smiled in a relieved and salts
fed way, nodded his head and rushed out
of the theatre. In half hour he came
back with the overlooked girl, put her in
the vacant chair, sat down comfortably
himself, and the whole party enjoyed the
show

Events of More Than Usual Interest
Yesterday.
Yesterday was "children's day in all
the Methodist Episcopal churches in the
city, and instead of the regular services
for and by the old folks the young people
had entire charge. The Sunday schools
conducted the services alone, and they
were a very pleasing variation, too. The
pulpits were prettily decorated with
flowers in most of the churches. AT the
Metropolitan Church Bishop Newman
baptiscd ten children. The day was OBJ
served in McKendree Church, Mt Yer
non Place Church, Foundry Church,
Hamline Church, the Fourth.Strcet
Methodist Church, Waugh Chapel, and
also in the Fourth Presbyterian Church,
the Assembly Presbyterian Church, the
Metropolitan Presbyterian Church and
the Eastern Presbyterian Church.
The services at the Congress Street NJ.
f. Church last evening were conducted
by Superintendcnts John II. Cox and G..
W. Browning. The church was taste
fully decorated with flowers. The col.
lection for the mission amounted TO SID.
The ceremonies at Dunharton. Avenue
Church were conducted by j. w. Kirk
ley, the superintendent of the Sunday
school. The church was mass Of flowers
and exotic plants. At the morning serv-
ice $50 was raised for the SundOy.school.
The ceremonies ut the other churches
were all of an interesting nature and the
churches were tastcfully decorated.

WOMEN WHO WEEP.

Why So Many Ladies Cry Clearly Ex-
planned and How 1t Can BE Avoided
Carefully Described.
1t is safe to say that not one woman in
ten thousand lives a single week in which
she does not either cry or feel like crying.
The cares Of life, disappointments and,
more than all else, weaknesses and pains
make all women more or less miserable.'
p This is all wrong. Women were made
for happiness, not for misery, When wo-
man Is weak she requires strength. Her
body, her mind and all her faculties and
functions must be put in healthy condi-
tion or she cannot secure strength. Ma
ture is always ready TO do this, but nature
almost always requires assistance, and the
question therefore is, "How can we best
assist nature ?"
The finest physioiansin the medical pro-
lession have agreed that nothing so surely
and easily does this as pure spirits taken
in moderation, either before meals or be-
tween meals. The effect is TO gently and
healthily stimulate all the faculties to
vigorous action, and thus nature Is as
sisted and strength given. There are
hundreds of thousands of ladies in Amer
lea to-day who are growing stronger,
healthier and more attractive in appear
alce ny lhe Juulcious use ol Dully fufe
Malt Whiskey. Many of these ladies are
the wives of Ministers and Professors, and
hundreds of them are Temperance wo-
men. They realize that Duhys Pure
Malt Whiskey is medicine, not a drink
and that il furnishes the best and only
positive help to weakened bodies that has
ever been discovered. Great care should
be exercised, however to secure only the
genuine, which is absolutely pure, for
there are very many so-called whiskies in
the market that are positive injury to
assert, however, that not one woman in
five hundred who will carefully use this
great aid to health in moderation will
continue 10 suffer from weaknesses; but,
on the contrary, will find renewal, not
only of youthful vigor, but Of color,
brightness and all those qualities which
indicate the presence VT perfect health.
