Aged.

An Irishman was ordered to make a
coffin, which he did; and to paint the
inscription on the lid, which he did after
fashion that caused a little excitement
in the churchyard.
By dint of following the written copy,
he managed to get as far as "Michael
O'Raferty, aged -" but, try as he
would, he could not initiate the Is.
At last he remembered that he could
write 7, and that four rs made 2S. So
he finished the inscription, "aged 7777."
When they came to bury Michael, the
coffin stood at the grave side, and the
priest spoke as follows:
"Ah, he was fine lad. He's lying
there so still, taken away in the very
prime of loife. Young he was, too,
only Here the priest looked down
at the coffin plate to see hsw old Michael
was.
HE was only" said his reverence
again, and he put his glasses on and
went nearer, to see how old he really
was HE was only" he continued,
'seven thousand seven hundred and
seventy-seven years!" - Christian at
Work.

Not Angels Yet.

The reformers are not angels yet-not
quite-and it is possible that they may
make mistakes and are responsible for a
good deal of injustice and unnecessary
suffering. The trouble is that we go
upon the theory that we are always
right and that the other fellows are al
ways wrong; that orthodoxy is our
doxy, while heterodoxy is the other fell
lows doxy.
As was limited little way back, per-
haps we had better goslew in our alleged
reforms, and be very considerate and
charitable and tolerant while we are
about it.
The will of the majority embodied in
q statute will not change human nature,
and policeman's club never convinces
its victim that what he believes is right
ismorally wrong. Atlanta Constitution.

"Now," said the passenger sitting with
his feet on the Other seat, "this Bible of
yours says the very hairs of your head
are numbered. Do you mean to tell me
that some divine or angelic being actually
went to the trouble to count the hairs of
my head?"
"Of course not" replied the parson
who was not such a meek man as he
looked to be; "the text doesn't mention
bristles, even by inference"

had been riding on the wood box, got a

CONFIDENT
Governor Lee is Sure OF Democratic
Success in Virginia This Year.


RICHMOND, Va, July 25.-In con-
versatiOu with newspaper reporter to-
day Governor Fitzhugh Lee expressed
perfect confidence In the ability of the
Democrats to carry the State, this year.
Indeed, the Governor does not enter
tain the slightest doubt that the Demo-
Gratis will elect the whole State ticket
and retain control Of both branches Of
the Legislature as usual. He considers
IL highly important that the Democrats
shall make wise selection In their
choice Of chairman Of the State Com
mittee to succeed Hon. John 8. Bar
bour, who has held that place since 1888.
Abiding to the Presidential contest
of 1893, Governor Lee said he thought
the Democrats should give Don Diekin-
son place on their ticket.

SUGGESTIONS FOR BOOK SHELVES.


Wood carving, that most delightful form
of decoration, is rapidly becoming abused.
Too much carving vulgarizes hopelessly a
piece Of furniture that half the amount Of
ornamentation would have enriched. A
carved border or mo1ding around the edge of
table gives fine effect, but have lately
seen tables the entire tops of which have
been carved. Now table is meant to put
things on, and the carving completely spoils
its usefulness, besides defeating Its own pur-
pose lof decoration; for thedecorated edge
would look richer by contrast with the plain
center.
Care must be taken not to have the carv-
ing sandpapered down to perfectly smooth
finish. and the background should be irregu-
lar and not speckled all over with little holes.
The beauty of carving is to feel the touch of
the carver, to see tool mark here and there.
1t is web to use carving rather sparingly.
Rather have little and have 1t good than
much shat is second rate. In some of the
Italian work nearly every molding was en-
riched and panel carved. But in the best ex-
amples the saving is 5udiciously disposed and
some plain surface used as foil
