ABILITY R.ouIr.d To n. A Dude.

Not a little ability is needed 10 be a
dude. IL takes considerable force Of
character to be willing Ia pass for o
fool rather than To give up ones con
yictions. A striking illustration Of the
fact of what a dude may be- is fur
nished By Prince Ferdinand oi Co
burg. When he assembled the much
disputed throne - Bulgaria the world
laughed nj the idea that Il fop should
for a moment think of holding that
vcxed seat. Now it is dawning ON the
public that Prince Ferdinand has
us good a grip Of his sccptCr rs he had
on the fashions aforetime, and that To
get him off the Bulgarian throne moth
ing short of a general European war
would suffice. lie has gone quietly
and dcicrminedly forward, and, with
the persistence and concentration he
learned ms Il dude, lac has made him
self master Of the situation, He may
be regarded MS a type, and, while there
must still be those who consider the
energies of one of these elegant civa-
lures as misapplied, in the face Of
facts il seems foolish TO deny their eX-
istence. Boston Courier.

Insects Destroying Timber.

Ii is said that worms are often more
destructive to forests than fires or whirl.
winds. The insects lay their eggs under
the bark and they hatch in the darkness,
which is a necessary element for their
development. When they hatch into
the grub form they bore their way into
the sap wood and then make a circle
around the tree once, twice, and perhaps
three times, before it is time for them
to turn into perfect winged insects. This
stops the flow Of the sap and the growth
of the tree, and eventually the tree dies.
Large tracks Of dense forest in Maine
have been DESTROYED in this way, and
sometimes tracts in the Adirondacks.

thin out the trees and thus give light and
air to the earth and forest growth. These
insects will not develop where there Is
plenty Of air and light, and it would be
well for those who own q tract of wood.

The Luxury of iroday.

Now, the growth Of luxury for the last
half century has been very great and
very general. We do not merely mean
that the rate of living has advanced.
This of itself is noI necessarily TO be De.
plored in any class, and in some classes
is a matter for serious congratulation.
That an agricultural laborer, for instance,
should be able 10 procure more food. bet,
ter clothing, better housing, and better
education for his children than he could
fifty years ago is a matter TO rejoice over,
and a state of things To secure by every
proper means. What we mean is, that
the scale Of comfort deemed necessary by
every class has enormously grown. Take
the upper classes. The great houses
throughout the country are administered
in n style the increase Of which is quite
disproportionate to the growth of income
Of their owners. The expenditure on
far fetched foods and most recherche
wines, the most costly amusements. has
vastly developed. And the tendency is
ever upward. Young men beginning life
try TO start where their fathers left of.
Some quarter Of a century ago there was
a discussion in the newspapers as to the
prudence or otherwise Of young persons
in the upper classes marrying on an in
come of 300 a year. Three times that
income would be now considered made
quate by the critics who conducted the
discussion. Quarterly Review.

Indiyidusaf,I Of Yarious States.

When we study a state at its center,
its political action, its organization, its
spirit. the management of its institutions
of learning and of charity, the tenden-
cies, restrictive or liberal, Of its legisla-
ton, even the tone of social life and the
code of manners, we discover distinctions,
individualities, almost as many differ
ences as resemblance. And we see-the
saving truth in our national ife-that
each state is a well nigh indestructible
entity, an empire in itself, proud and
conscious of its peculiarities, and jealous
of its rights. We see that state bound
aries are not imaginary lines, made by
the geographers, which could be easily
altered by the central power. Nothing,
indeed, in our whole national develop
ment, considering the common influences
that have made us, is so remarkable as
the difference of the several states. Even
on the lines of a common settlement, say
from New England and New York, not
the difference between northern Ohio,
northern sIdiana, northern Illinois, Wis.
consin and Minnesota. Or take another
line ana see the ulHerence between
southern Ohio, southern Indiana, south
ern Illinois and northern Missouri.
But each state, with its diverse popu-
lation, has a certain homogeneity and
character of its Owl. We a under
stand this where there are great differ
ences of climate, or when one is noun
famous and the other is flat. But why
should Indiana be so totally unlike the
two states that flank it in so many Of the
developments of civilized life or in re-
tarded action; and why should Iowa, in
its entire temper and spirit, be so unlike
Illinois? One state copies the institutions
of another, but there is always some
thing in its life that it does not copy from
any other. -Harper's Magazine.

Lord Westbrook crossed the stile In
silence, and held out his hand to assist Va

TO her, for he knew she was doing this for
his sake, to enable him to compose his face
and manner before Colonel Beauregard and
his companion came up, and he was re-
mOrseful for his harsh accusation.

pause. 81 was brute TO say what | did"

"Only flirts with him. Westbrook is

Max thought of the sweet eyes that had

that had choked the pure nature, and he
could not bring his lips to traduce his idol.

The widow looked down.
"How many men would speak like that"
she said.

'In theory, Colonel Beauregard-in moth

Not in theory only; that is, there were
instances in which the theory was carried
into facts; and in rude and coarse ages
there was something even in the theory,

Light-built, lissome, sure of eye and foot
as a highlander, there were not many
climbs that would have proved insurmount-

steep and craggy hillside several yards in
an instant, and paused to see how Valerie
followed
She was close on his steps as he turned,

He went on, Valerie still following close,

Presently, Beauregard put his foot on

hand to Valerie.

her hand. 81 should want to be as tall as
you for that"
Put your foot there-thats it,"
In second she stood beside him, flushed
mot all with the climbing and painting a
little, looking down on Lord Westbrook
toiling upward, because she hardly cared
to look at her companion.
And he-he had dropped her hand, look
ing down, not on Lord Westbrook, who
might be an hour coming up for all he
cared, but on her, and feeling that he
Had given all other bliss,
And all his worldly worth for this

Upon her perfect lips"
'Lord Westbrook doesn't get on very
quickly" said Valerie, to break the silence,
which made her tremble inwardly.
'He is just below that shrub" returned
Beauregard, pointing to one that hid him.
"A little TO the right, WestbrOok-so.
