W 0rds or Wisdom

Never worry or overwork.
Learn to pu, truth forcibly.
Watch the methods thst win.
Keep your eyes and ears wide open.
It is strange salt fish that no water
can freshen.
A capon eight months old is fit for a
Kings table.
The vicious reproving vice are like
the raven chidiug blackness.
Choose brave employment with q
naked sword throughout the world.
Live to-dav-to>morrow may be toe
lste-the wise lived yerterday.
Truth is as impossible to be soiled by
any outward touch as the sunbeam.
Contentment swells a mite into a tal-
ent. and makes the poor richer than the
Indies.
y good trade is something which
bank failures or commercial panics do
not destroy.
When we fail to faithfully reproye a
sinful act, we lose our power over the
one who commits it.
II you have built castles in the air
your work need not be lost that ia
where they should be. Nov put the
foundations under them.
Strong thoughts are iron nails driven
In the mind that nothing can draw out
Although it is dangerous to have too
much knowledge of certain subjects, 1t
is still more dangerous to be totally ig-
norsnt OF them. Rest satisfied with
doing well, and leave others TO talk of
you as they please.

Electric Watches TO Run Year.

a patent for watch to run by electrici>
" and has almost completed the forma-
tlon OF company to manufacture his
electric clocks and watches. He has
been working eleven years on his four
inventions, which inclnde a marine
clock. The popularity about them is
the gravity movern ent, which, aided by
a small electric current, moves the pen

A Canadian Game Fish.

In appearance fresh.run salmon and
fresh-ruu winanishe do not differ
much more than salmon from different
rivers. The back of a winanishe is
greener blue, and in fish just out of
water can be seen to be marked with
olive spots, something like the yermi-
culations on trout the silvery scales
are more iridescent, the Y marks are
more numerous and less sharply defined /;
the patches of bronze, purple and green
on the gill.coyers are larger and more
brilliant, and with them are several
large round black spots. As the water
grows warm the bright hues get dull,
and toward autumn the rusty red color
and hooked lower jaws Of the spawning
salmon develop. AS the winanishe, IN
like the salmon, feeds continuously, and
in much heavier ard swIfter water
than salmon lie in, 1t has a Simmer
body and larger fins, so that fve-pound
winanishe can leap higher and oftener
a grilse and fight like tenspound SAL
mon, The variety OF its habits, which
are a compound of those OF the trout
and those of the salmon, with some pc
cuiiarities Of its own, gives great charm
to Misunderstanding, and opportunity
for every style from the floating ny"
on tiny hooks TO the 'sink and draw"

In railway and hotel prOspectuses the

pounds. In Lake St. John and the De-
charge the average is two and hal:
four>pounders are large and not too
plentiful while six-pounders are
scarce.

Natural Gas in Indiana.

Some idea Of the vast importance Of
the natural gas interests of Indiana
may be gained from a study Of the re-
port recently made by the state geolo-
gist. He has been collecting all the
information he could possibly get con-
corning the subject, and from the re-
suits OF his investigation we learn that
the gas area Of Indiana Is lG5 miles in
length by Gj miles in width; alto
gether there are 3sl paving wells in
the district. The entire ilow of gas is
placed at 600, 900, 900 feet Of which, il
is calculated, something like 1000, 900
feet go 10 waste. The average flow Of
gas from each well is stated as being
about $50, 900 feet. The report further
mentions the fact that during the past
two years seventy-nine manufactures
have located in Indiana, simply and
solely because of the fact that they
could obtain this fuel. Thcircombined
capital Is stated, in Fire and Water as
reaching %, 500, 900, and it is saul that
they viii employ $500 men.-5eicn-

A Famous Trio.

They were all Boston boys, and
neighbors. playmates and constant
comrades Appleton was a man of re-
markable wit and quaint originality,
with strong literary and artistic tastes,
which, however, did not reach the
point Of high creative power. A syb-
aritic temperament, favored by pros
porous circumstance, held him salts
fed all his life within the conservative
circle of the most delightful social
companionship, in which the wonder
was that the latent forces OF his nature
took no definite and enduring form,
so that Tom Appleton" remains only
q marvellous memory, a man tenderly
beloved in life, and now atfectionately
remembered.
Butt in him, asin the others, weret the
stern old Puritan conscience and truth
fulness, a scorn of dishonor and indi-
rectness, yet blended with such suavity
and accomplishment, such grace OF
mind and rectitude Of life and delight
in refined enjoyment, that in no other
groupof friends in New England, prob
ably, were the characteristics and en-
gaging qualities Of Puritan and Cava-
Tier more happily combined. Their
careers were widely severed, although
Boston was always their home. Phil
lips passed on TO the renown Of a great
orator and leader in n Of the noblest
causes in history; Motley won the
highest laurels of literature in the
works which record the defense and
development of liberty in Holland;
Appleton placidly drifting with the
current of his time, watched with the
keenest interest and admiration the
cause of both, and if perhaps he some
times felt, with Browning's Pictor
Ignotus,
I could have painted pictures Ike that youths
men praise So
there was no hint in word Or manner
that he regretted any prize ne had
not won. Long after the college days,
and after Motley's first u~nprosperous
literary ventures and his diligent study
in Europe, he sent Appleton the sheets
of his History Of the Dutch Repub-
lie" Appleton received them in New
port where hs read them With De-

Sound sleepers.

Mr.. Boyle says that il is one of the
amusements of West Africa 10 show
strangers how a Fantee boycan sleep.
A friend of his wishing to rouse some
servants and send them 10 close the
shutters and lock the doors, said to
him, ''Ill show you something which
you wouldn't believe on hearsay."
Thereon he grasped a boy by the
heels, dragged him a yard or so, turned
him over, and roughly lifted him to a
sitting posture; the youth sat up, rub
bed his eyes, scratched his head, and
went to sleep again as he lay. To an
other he did the same, with a like re-
suit.
Having thus got the two alongside,
fast asleep, he dragged one on top OF
the other, and left them a moment;
they slumbered plscidly in that posi-
ton. He then ran amuck at them, be-
ing in slippers, and upset the pair, and
ordered them loudly TO close the shut
tiers. They both got up, eyes wide
open, and apparently conscious; one
walked gravely down stairs, the other
retired, with all semblance OF reason,
to the pantry alongside.
The one who went down came up
again in two minutes, still with his
eyes wide open, and leisurely lay
down to sleep again; the other we
found fast snoozing in the pantry on a
stool. We took them up, and shook
them violently; they rubbed them
selves, and went to sleep again.
Dragging them into the dining
room, without a word, they silently
set about their work, fastening shut
tiers and doors.
