THE Fort Worth Gazette remarking
upon supreme bench probabilities
and possibilities, says:
The president is said to be consider
ering Cooley and Miller for the SUI
preme bench, and so far unable to de-
eide between them. If Miller is the
peer of Cooley as a lawyer he has been
remarkably successful in keeping the
fact hidden from public view.
None the less is it denied semi-offi-
cally from Washington that Miller is
TO get seat on the supreme bench.
That matter seems about settled.
Cooley would make first class JUS
tice and Gresham would fill the bill
admirably. Either appointment
would be creditable to the country.

KEEPING HE HEART YOUNG.
Old People who Are Young In Their
Ways, and Those Who Are Not

Old People who Are Young in Their
Ways, and Those Who Are Not
Dickens says: IF all had hearts like
those which beat so lightly in the Boz
som of the young and beautiful, what
a heaven this earth would bel II,
while our bodies grow old and with
cred, our hearts could but retain their
youth and freshness, Of what avail
would be our sorrows and sufferingsf
But the faint image of Eden, which Is
stamped upon them in childhood,
chafes and rubs in our rough struggle
with tho world, and soon wears away;
too often to leave nothing but a
mournful blank remaining"
How true and beautiful this senti-
with the rough side of the world that
it not too often the indulgence or bit
ter feelings of envy and discomfort
that and turns TO NORWOOD and
gall many of the sweets OF lifei Be
cause we do not prosper as well rs our
neighbor, we fret and imagine our lot
harder than any one else, and look
upon it rs luck" and are therefore
bitter in feeling against those who are
more fortunate than ourselves. It is
the yielding to evil passions and tenn
pers that makes the heart grow old;
the inclination to look on the dark
and gloomy side of everything, or to
use a familiar adage, crossing the
bridge before we get to itn This
seems TO be the nature of some people,
and consequently they grow old be-
fore their time, and the heart is scared
and hard and nothing truly but a
''mournful blank remains"
Why not keep tho heart young7
Why not have the earth a heaven,
and keep childhoods faith and happi-
ness in our hearts, even though the
bodies will grow old and witheredH
II is a fact worth record that when
you meet q genial, happy old person
you find they have a youthful heart
n heart of love and good will; a heart
that sympathizes and enters into the
pleasures and every day enjoyments
OF the young and are willing to make
any sacrifices that tho young people
may enjoy life; such old people al
ways have pleasant faces, placid ex-
p~ressions, and a light in the eye that
reflects the emotions Of the heart.
One is involuntarily drawn TO such
people. But there is another class of
Olu people kdltLS, 100 uuInerOuS), whose
faces are as our and Grabbed as posi-
BILE; they never SEQ any good in any
one; the young never do right, every
thing has degenerated since their
young days, and tho whole world
moves different; is it any wonder that
the hearts of such people arc as with
cred and bitter rs their faces indicated
The face is the true index of the
heart, n mirror in which its emotions
are truly pictured; the face may grow
old, and time may leave its impress in
heavy lines and wrinkles, but from
beneath them all there beams n light
that Is a reflection from a heart kept
young and fresh, while the body has
grown old beneath the weight of
years-a heart that has cherished none
but love, peace and contentment, and
has gathered only the sunshine of life,
keeping the faint image of Eden,
which was stamped upon it in child
hood, sven down unto old age.-At-
lanta Constitution.

for Men.

The bonnet, once upon n time, was
an article of male as well as female
head dress. Fine old English gentle
men down TO the early part of the Six
teenth century wore bonnets of cloth,
silk or velvet, more or less ornament
ed, according to the rank or the taste
of the wearer. These coverings, how
ever, were superseded by the bat In all
the lengths and breadth of the king
dom, save in Scotland, where it still
retains its ancient name.
The good old ''braid bonnet" was
broad, round and flat. 1t over
Swallowed the face and neck; it could
be slouched in front, behind or sido-
ways, as a protection against the ''cold
blast" or any ''airtn the wind might
choose to blow. 1t was made of thick
milled wooden stuffs without seam OF
lining; it could be folded up, sat upon
or put in the pocket; it was water
proof and kept warm when it was wet
when dry it was as good as ever; and
it was 20 exceedingly durable that q
good dark blue bonnet with a red tuft
like a cherry on the top, and worth
some two shillings sterling, would,
with reasonable care, last a man a life
time. Rural proprietors of n small sort,
such as owner Of cottages and an acre
or two Of land, wore it as a badge OF
distinction and were called bonnet
lairds. Millinery Trade Review.

III On one OF the white marble stones
in the wall near the southeast corner
was n minute picture OF nude female
traced in the natural veining of the
stone. Tho figure was standing up
right, with arms stretched aloft and
hair streaming down the back, very
lifelike and quite artistic. There was
no little discussion of how the sketch
got there. Some ,wero inclined TO lay
the blame on ono of those wicked
street arabs who had failed to catch
the spirit of Anthony Comstock's
teachings. But it was nature that did
the work, and there the slender female
will stand as long as does the city
hall, unless tho slab Of marble shall
DO removed or n coat of whitewash
covers II. But it gave the groups of
oilers lots of wonderment yesterday.
Men, women and children waited
until their eyes had caught the Curl
GUS figure, and then they passed on
TO let others get n sight and go in
peace. Other lffelike figures are traced
in the marble of the city hall, and if
the curious got to work there is ma

A surnrIsed L

A laughable but rather embarrassing
case of mistaken identity occurred the
other day in one of Boston's largest
retail stores. A gentleman who is a
little too fond OF joking entered the
store for the purpose OF meeting his
wife at n certain counter. Sure
enough, there stood a lady dressed,
to his eye at least, just like the woman
he was after.
Her back was turned and no one
was near her; so he quietly APP
preached, took her by the arm, and
said, in n voice of simulated severity:
well, here you are, spending my
money as usual, chi"
The face turned quickly toward him
was not his wife's; it was that of an
acrid, angry, keen eyed woman of
about so years, who attracted the atten-
ton of everybody in that part of the
store by saying, in a loud, shriu voice:
mo, / amt spending your money
nor no other mans money, and Iu"-
81 beg your pardon, madam" cried
the confused gentleman, II supposed
you were wife, and"-
"Well, l just amt your wife, nor
DO jawed at every timo / buy a yard

no more, but made his way out of tho
shop amid tho filters and sly chuckles

fusion.-Youth's Companion.

An Extraordinary Drcn,n.

A girl at Hackney, aged 10, with
her two brothers and a younger sister,
was left in charge of the house while
their parents attendeda funeral in the
country. In the evening the girls
sweetheart called. AS she was alarmed
at noises which she fancied she heard,
he stayed at tho house all night TO re-
assure her. During the night he
dreamed he saw tho girl walk past
him, reckoning him to follow. He
awoke, and becoming alarmed went
into tho passage. Having dressed he
went to the door of the girls room
and knocked. Receiving no answer
he then awoke tho others. On tho bed
room door being opened tho girl was
found lying on the floor with blood
issuing from her mouth. From n doc
tors examination it would seem that
the girl died at about the timo that
her sweetheart dreamed she beckoned
him.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The Worlds Greatest Lumber Region
A lumber pile made of boards, each
100 feet long and @ feet in width,
would DO an unprecedented sight In
the east, but q gentleman recently re-
turned from q visit to the coast of the
North Pacific ocean says that piles of
timber such as that arc common at
the mills ON Puget sound. Boards
100 feet long and G feet wide, with
out a knot in them,h he says 'tare
common cuts from the gigantic fir
trees of the Puget sound forests.
These trees grow to tho enormous
height of 250 feet, and the forests are
SO vast that although the saw mills
have been ripping 800, 0oo, 600 feet of
lumber out of them every year for ten
years, the spaces made by these ire
mendous inroads seem no more than
garden patches. Puget sound has
1900 miles of shore line, and all along
this line and extending thence on both
sides miles and miles further than the
eye car see, Is ono vast and almost I'M
broken forest of these enormous trees.
There is nothing like it anywhere ON
the Pacific coast. An official estimate
places the amount of standing timber
in that area at 500, 900, 900, 900 feet, or
a thousand years supply, evon at the
enormous rate tho timber is snow being
felled and sawed. The timber belt
covers 80, 600, 900 acres of Washington
Territory, an area equal to the states
of Vermont, Massachusetts,, Connect
cut and New Hampshire. The markets
for the Puget sound lumber arc en-
tirely foreign, being South America,
Australia, Central America and the
Pacific ocean islands. philadelphia

Giant Glacier. Of Ain.ta.

The southwestern face of st. Elias, 1t
Is safe to say, will never DO climed; it
presents q mass of broken snow, beauti-
full, yet forbidding. We estimated the
summit to be about 1000 feet above US,
making Its total height 1880 feet. 1t
seemed to us that the coast survey in
giving 1t 1880 feet was too liberal in its
figures. The day was cloudless; the
whole scene was one that battles descrip-
ton It surpassed in grandeur, though
not In pi~cturesqueness, the very best that
the Alps can offer. Roughly speaking,
the eye encountered for miles nothing
but snow and Ice 1 had never before
thoroughly realized the vastness of the
Alaskan glaciers, though during the past
fortnight we had spent many a weary
hour In crossing immense moraines.
One Of the glaciers we looked down
upon was not less than sixty miles long,
while another attained q breadth of
twenty-five or thirty miles. From below
l had gained the impression that ice
covered with debris predominated over
white ice. 1now saw that this was not
the case, and that the ratio of debris to
clear ice was probably not greater han
that of ten { one. When standing at q
considerable height one appreciates for
tho first time the beautiful curves
through which the glaciers alter their
course. We noticed this In particular In
looking down upon the Agassiz glacier.
1t appeared Mt n point to describe
three or four arcs of ~concentrio circles
with radi varying from eight to ten
miles, each arc being indicated by a
light coating of stones, the whole resem-
bling an immense race course. Through
the middle of the Tyndall glacier, and
for n distance of several miles, two light
streaks of moraine ran parallel to each
other, presenting from above the appear
ance of q huge serpent crawling the
length of the glacier. -Scribner's Maya
