Do Thy Best.

Though the majority of people never
rise above mediocrity, this is no excuse
for sighting ones work or for doing
nothing at all. The injunction to all is
to act, and anything worth doing at all
is worth engaging all the energies of
the doer, and he who conscientiouslv
attempts the highest, and labors the.
best he can, gains in the action a salts
faction that is his highest reward. Not
only is this true, but it is usually the
same kind of labor that leads to pros
perity. A young painter was directed
by his master to complete picture on
which the master had been obliged to
suspend his labors on account of his
growing infrmities. 81 commission
thee, my son, - said the aged artist, ito
do thy best on this work. Do thy best.n
The young man had such reverence for
his masters skill that he felt incompe-
tent to touch canvas which bore the
work of that renowned hand. But
do thy best " was the old mans calm
reply; and again, to repeated solicita-
tons, he answered, edo thy best"
The youth tremblingly seized the brush,
and, kneeling before his appointed
work, he prayed: " 1t is for the sake of
my beloved master that l implore skill
and power to do this deed" His hand
grew steady as he painted. Slumber-
ing genius awoke in his eye. Enthusi-
asm took the place of fear. Forgetful-
ness of himself supplanted his self
distrust, and with a calm Joy he finished
his labor. The" beloved master" was
borne on his couch into the studio to
pass judgment on the result. AS his
eye fell upon the triumph of art before
him he burst into tears, and throwing
his enfeebled arms around the young
artist, he exclaimed: "My son, paint
no more!" That youth, Leonardo da
Vinci, became the painter of {" The
Last SUPPER" the ruins of which,
after the lapse of three hundred years,
still attract annually to the refectory
of an obscure convent in Milan hun
dreds of the worshipers of art Young

A Journey to the Planet Venus.


Let us for moment suppose certain
railways to be built-one round the
world in a perfect circle, others to
various points in the solar system.
And we will further suppose that the
trains on these railways could be kept
going at the rate of sixty miles an hour
for any required length of time; that
their passengers could do without food
or could be supplied with an abundance
of it; that the bodies of such passen-
gers could be made capable of enduring
the various changes of air, temperature
and other climatic conditions to which
they would be exposed. In order to
visit any but very few of the nearest
bodies in space the travellers on our
celestial railways would need to have
their lives very greatly prolonged.
Were they to set out for any distant
part of the system they all would die
before they had fairly begun their
journey. A voyage to the moon, to
Venus, or to Mars would, under the
above conditions, be possible; to any
other body in the system it would be
impossible. The journey to the moon
would be comparatively short. Our
companion is distant about 100000
miles. Travelling at the rate of sixty
miles an hour, and never stopping, it
would take between 1865 and 1877 days to
reach the journeys end. Compared
with other heavenly distances, this is a
mere nothing; but compared with the
distances actually traversed by the

was in a florists, not long ago, and
saw beautiful thing in the shape of a
square vase with small Sits in the sides.
Out of these grew luxuriously lycopo-
dium, and in the top a maidenhair
fern. The whole thing was lovely, and
if | had possessed SO, the price it was
marked, | should have bought it then
and there, carrying it home in triumph.
But my rich neighbor drew up in her
carriage, came in, saw and carried off
the prize, and actually envied her for
being able to buy such a beauty. Co
ing home / saw a withered branch of
the wild thorn-apple tree, all crooks
and turns and zigzag lines, just the
thing for plant support, so l tucked
it into a corner Of shelf and placed a
pot of maurandia close to it. The vine
just caught hold of those jagged ends
and covered it, looking like light
green veil thrown over the brown
crooked twigs. " 1t was beautiful"
So said my rich neighbor who had
bought the maidenhair and set me to
envying. She came into my modest
conservatory and had eyes for nothing
else but the crooked thorn branch and
its green veil. 81 just envy you,"
said she. C. have nothing half so
pretty in my whole collection" And

Ruled by Women.

Just before the war Oskaloosa, Kan
sas, was a smart little village, filling up
with the tents of immigrants. There
was school-house, we believe, but no
church building. 1t was situated on
the edge of the Kansas Indian reserva-
ton and the chief and only industry of
the place was cutting-shall we say
stealing-oak, black walnut and white
wood lumber from the reservation.
Morning and night the air was smitten
with the shouts of the teamsters driv-
ing their ORLEANS to and from the river
bottom, while the day was silent but
for the ceaseless buzzing of the steam
saw-mill. There was not a garden,
much less an orchard, in the place.
Every one was camping out, as it were,
waiting for the chance to settle on his
claim when the "reserve " should come
into market. The "reserve " was at
last thrown open to settlement and the
town suddenly evaporated, everybody
disappearing to his g claim" But the
town grew again and became the county
seat and a city. The city, however.
lost its boom again. The city govern
ment was blamed for incapacity and
dishonesty. At last the citizens de-
termined to reform things and, hoping
to recall the population that was drift
ing away from it, took the extraordinary
measure of electing an experienced and
intelligent married woman as mayor
and five others like her as members of
the council. Their majority was small
and the worse element, which had
voted against them, had very little fear
of what they might do. But that
mayoress and those CONDITIONER have
proved themselves possessed of inteli-
gence, honesty and grit. The city has
never had such a governmental eco
nomical, so business-like and so sue
cessful. The laws have been executed
without favor to any one-liquor laws,
Sunday laws, laws against immoral
shows-and the needed improvements
in sidewalks and paving begun. In
deed. every one believes the good
times hoped for are coming, and the
women seem sure of reelection if
they will take it. We in New York
with our two or three lonesome women
school commissioners, look West with
envy.-Erchange

fined and cultivated, but had never
been much in society in large towns,
and actually did not know what was
expected of her until it was too late.
She said that just before returning to
her home she heard lady in the
house where she was boarding ask
another, " Have you made your party
calls?" The matter was a puzzle to
her. At the first opportunity she
asked friend to whom she was not
afraid to betray her ignorance the
meaning of the expression, and found
that by the etiquette of society it was
the polite and proper thing for her to
make a call at each of the houses
where she had been invited. Imagine
her chagrin on being told what {" party
call " wasl She did not wish to be con-
sidered crude or rude, but as crude or
rude those hostesses must regard her.
In some cases, like hers, it is ignor-
ance, and in others it is negligence; but
the lady who has invited you will be
likely to set persons down as underbred
or illbred who fail of this small
courtesy. A good many instances have
come to my knowledge since then of
young girls who have been honored by
invitations to choice garden or in
door party and never afterwards took
the trouble to call have known even
more discreditable thing-it is in
credible, but true, that young people
have actually left such party without
taking leave of their host and hostessl-

Natural Ice-Cream.

The people of Siberia in winter buy
their milk in chunks instead of quarts.
For convenience it is sometimes al
lowed to freeze about a stick, which
serves as handle to carry it by The
milkman leaves one chunk or two
chunks, as the case may be, at the
house of his customers. The children
in Irkutsk, instead of crying for a
drink of milk cry for a bite of milk.
The people there in the winter-time do
not say, " BE careful not to spill the
milk" but " Be careful not to break
the milk" Broken milk is better
than spilled milk, though, because
there is an opportunity to save the
pieces. Irkutsk people hang their milk
on hooks instead of putting it in pans,
though, of course, when warm spring
weather comes on, they have TO use
the pans or pals as the milk begins to
drop down from the hooks.-St. NichO-

WINTER HYACINTHs.-It is an easy
matter to secure beautiful hyacinth
blooms in winter. 1t is only necessary
to remember the fact, and act upon it,
that the roots must get good start be-
fore the leaves are put forth. BY pot
ting in rich earth and setting them
away in a cool, dark place for about
six weeks, the roots will form inside
without the leaves starting. Then they
may be brought into the light and
warmth, and the beautiful blooms will
shortly appear. BY use of the regula-
ton hyacinth glasses, simply filling
them with water so that the roots of
the bulb will rest in it, and following
the same method as for potting above
mentioned, we get an effect that is pre-
ferred by some, but we like them best
in the old red MISREPRESENTATION

average man, it is very great indeed.
Let us now take trip to the planet
Venus, our next nearest neighbor.
This will be much more formidable
undertaking. A succession of the
longest journeys over this earth would
form but short and passing episodes in
a lifetime. On one of our imaginary
railways the traveller could circle the
world in less than three weeks. Not
only is a journey to the moon quite
possible to the passengers by our
celestial railway, but equal and even
greater distances are often travelled on
earth. But trip to Venus would be
very different matter. Venus is about
26,000,O00 miles away; or, at sixty
miles an hour, without stopping, she is
distant a journey not of three weeks
or six months, but of some ffty gears.
On the imaginary railway such a
journey would be possible, for great
many persons live longer than fifty
years. But in real life no one ever has
travelled, and no one ever will travel,
anything like so far. No human be-
ing ever has travelled 5000, 900 miles;
and it is safe to say that no one ever
will. To complete this measure of
journeying would require an average of
100000 miles year for fifty years.
Some few, perhaps, in all their lives,
may have travelled 100000 miles, but
these are probably very rare exceptions.
So we see that no one has ever lived who
has travelled more than a small part of
the distance to Venus. Yet, compared
with other bodies in the system, this
star may be said to be almost next
door neighbor.- Nicholas.

THE Poppy ASA BANK PROTECTOR
The Scientific american suggests the
poppy as an excellent bank protector.
AT first we entered a mental protest,
for the poppy, being an opiate, would
send the banks Waterman to sleep.
On second thought it is clear the burg

Party Calls.

There are certain small things all girls
ought to know about-little forms of
etiquette, the observance of which
is expected among all well-bred people.
Some understand by instinct, or inner
itance, or by observation, but others

The hollyhocks so admired in Paris
the past season were the Violet Ponceau,
which is of unusual size; Gem of Yellow
and Fleur de Pommier. Double ones
are rather in favor. Their season in
France lasts nearly three months.
When most roses are resting comes
this graceful, stately flower, with
blooms and half-opened buds, which
will continue to disclose their beauty
for days after the stalk is cut.
