HEED YOUR WORDS.

That the tongue is not steel, yet
it cuts. That cheerfulness is the
weather Of the heart. That sleep
is the best stimulant, a nervine
safe for all to take. That it is
better to learn to say "no" than to
be able to learn to read Latin.
That cold air is not necessarily
pure, nor warm air necessarily i'm
pre-. That a cheerful face is
nearly as good for an invalid as
healthy weather. That there are
men whose friends are more to be
pitied than their enemies. That
advice is like castor oil, easy
enough to give, but hard enough
to take. That wealth may bring
luXuries, but luxuries do not always
bring happiness. That grand tenn
pies ale built of small stones. and
great lives of trifiing events. That
nature is rag merchant, who
works up every shred, and rag, and
end into new creations. That an
open mind, an open hand and an
open heart would everywhere
find an open door. That it is not
enough to keep the poor in mind;
give them something to keep you
in mind. That men often preach
from the housetops while the devil
is crawling in at the basement be,
low. That life's real heroes and
heroines are those who bear their
own burdens bravely, and give a
helping hand to those around them.
That hasty words often rankle IN
the wound which injury gives, and
that soft wor1s assuage it; that for
givness cures, and forgetfulness
takes away the scar.

at a single operation the finished
goods. By the ordinary method
the plate must be turned for every
nail cut, whereas by the improved
process plate fully thirtneen feet
in length can be placed in the ma
chine, the latter feeding itself; and
while at present there are required
four feeders and one mailer to run
four machines, by the new method
two feeders and one mailer easily
operate four machines. Formerly,
in turning out ten-penny nails,
four machines and five men were
accustomed to make 1000 pounds
per day, the amount of waste be-
ing four per cent; while according
to the new arrangement the opera
ton of four machines by two men
results in the production of 10000
pounds per day with no waste.
The same proportion thus indicated
is also said to be carried out, by
this means, in all kinds of nails
except borse- shoe nails, the latter
being more difficult to make.

A TRAIN SAVED BY A TRAMP:

The train which should have arr
rived from Louisville at 4:35 last
night did not get in until nearly 2
o'clock. The delay was caused by
a huge rock weighing nearly ton
falling across the track troIa one
of the cuts that are so plentiful til
the region Of Dawson. The stone
was near curve. so that the train
men could not have seen it in time
to prevent serious accident. A
tramp, YEARLY trudging his way
along the road, counting the rail-
road ties from Louisville to-
Paducah, saw the obstruction, and,
not knowing which way to look for
a train, sat down on the store and
waited untifh he heard the south
bound train. He then ran quickly
forward and tagged the train.
His kindness was rewarded by a
free trip to Memphis, and the pas
sengers made up a very handsome
purse for him.-Paducah Standard.
