when Men Gross Their Lsgs.

Men generally cross their legs when
there is least pressure on their minds. You
will never find man actually engaged 10
business with his legs crossed. The limbs
at those times are straighter than 1t any
other because the mind and body work
together. A man engaged In auditing &C
counts will never cross his legs, neither
will man who is writing IN article, or
who is employed in any manner where his
brain is actually engaged. When ct work
in sitting posture the limbs naturally ex'
tend TO the floor 10 perfectly straighs
line. A man may cross his legs II he ID

was doubtful OF his own ability, but bis
wife had her way. and before their welded
life was six months old Mr.. Randall was
engaged In his new business.
Spurred on by an honest shame that q
woman had better business head than
his own, he did what he never did tefore'
threw his whole soul into his business, and
WAS amazed himself to find how rapidly
he learned to guide it.
Every day filled his heart with deeper
love for the noble woman who was 30 true
and faithful helpmate to him; who with
oil the knowledge he lacked. never let one
clerk or employe guess her real position
At home in the evening she showed him
the result Of her days correspondence or
book keeping, and gave him clear instruc-
tions for the next days work. Learning
quickly, he had sufficient sense to let her
control the whole business, until she her !.
self after two years Of faithful work, said
You can do without me now, dear. l re

They had lived very economically in
those two years, Mrs. Randall governing
the small house and one servant as efiici.
emily as she had controlled her niece's
grand mansion or the affairs Of the factory.
But ambition once aroused In Joseph
Randall, he resolved to give his wife q
home as handsome as the one she left for
love Of him. Depriving her Of no comfort
be could afford to give her, he denied him
self all e1travsgances that had become
second nature.
Cigars we're thrown aside, clothing was
reduced to responsibility, ignoring the
many changes Of fashion, riding was eX
changed for an occasional drive with Mrs.
Randall, and year by year Joseph Randall
saw bis business increase, bis bank &C.
count enlarge. until he was master Of Q
fourishing business, and Of the magni6
cent home where Mrs. Randall had EN-
ployed me to paint the panels Of the bed
room doors.
And as years robbed the devoted wife
Of her strength ard the noble beauty o.
middle life. they took nothing from the
love Of husband, who knew that 10 her
be owed all his property. He realized
fully the life Of indolent luxury be would
have led. and contrasted it with the usefn
one to which she bad guided him.
A kind master, the families Of his worn
people knew they had always . friend il
the head Of the vas. establishment ID
which the husband and father toiled
Without children, both Mr.. and Mrs, Ran

and when gratitude met them, Joseph
Randall said,

Is knowledge Really Power?

Lord Armstrong in Nineteenth Century.
knowledge is not even an aid to power in all
cases, seeing that useless knowledge, which 10
no uncommon article in our popular schools,
has no relation to power. The true source of
power is the originative action of the mind
which We see exhibited in the daily incidents
OF life, as well as in matters Of the greatest inn
portance. The man who 10 said to have extri-
Gated little dog from the jaws Of q big one by
dextrously placing pinch Of snud on the nose
OF the larger animal exercised an act of power
by his mental resource, aided only by his cour-
age and dexterity. Had he been q mere re-
ceptacle Of knowledge he would have been
poweriess TO act; but when he exclaimed to the
admiring spectators, You see that knowledge
10 power. he said what was neither true nor
appropriate. And here am brought back TO
the Keynote OF former article, which was that
- mans success in life depends incompara-
bly, more upon his capacities for useful
action than upon his requirements in knowl-
edge, and the education Of the Young should
therefore be directed to the DEVELOPMENT Of
faculties and valuable qualities rather Than 10
the acquisition Of knowledge" None Of INV
critics have touched upon this cardinal point
and suspect they fear to do 30, being svare'
- everybody u. that men Of Capacity and pos.
sessing qualities for useful action are At = M.

THE NEW LOAN FAILURE AND THE PANAM
CANAL LIKELY TO COLLAPSE

A Paris dispatch to the London Daily Ne,es
says: During another exciting scene at the
Panama canal company's Office Thursday on q
call for NJ. de Lesseps, Charles de Lesseps his
son, appeared. He announced that only 1870 900
bonds had been subscribed for, and that the
company would therefore begin returning the
deposits to-day. Referring TO his fathers re-
marks on the previous day, he said: My father
is younger in spirit than l. His remarks were
made on the strength Of hopeful port that
made him. The result is bankruptcy or the
winding up Of the company" He urged them
to petition the government to come to the as
assistance of the company.
