Character the Key to Success.

Two fundamental psychological ele-
ments 10 be always studied among any
people are character and intelligence.
Character is infinitely more important
to the success of an individual or a
race than intelligence. Rome, in her de-
cline, certainly possessed more superior
minds than the Rome of the earlier
ages of the republic. Brilliant artists,
eloquent rhetoricians, and graceful
writers appeared then by the hundred.
But she was lacking in men of manly
and energetic character, who may per-
haps have been careless of the refine
ments of art, but were very careful of
the power of the city whose grandeur
they had founded When it had lost
all of these, Rome had to give way to
peoples much less intelligent but more
energetic. The conquest of the an
cient, refined and lettered Graco-Latin
world by tribes of semi-barbarous
Arabs constitutes another example of
the same kind. History Is full of
such.-G. Le Bon in Popular Science
Monthly.

Gratitude for nm Umbrella.

DO you know why Governor Cor

be Judge of the county court of Co

asked.
NO; was there any special reasona'
/. There was. 1t was on account OF
an old umbrella. When Governor
Gordon surrendered at Appomattox il
was raining hard. The water was run

with difficulty he made a little inn
promptu speech composed for the oc.
casion.
Seeing the generals embarrassment
Alvan Freeman, who was the owner
of the only umbrella in the Confeder,
ate army, raised it, and, stepping ur
close to the general, held it over his
head, protecting him from the rain
until his little speech was finished.
The general was very grateful TO Al.

presented itself proved that he had no.
forgotten the umbrella act by appoint

She Won the Umbrella

w. j. Norris, prominent merchant

nice thing, SO made her the follow

Main street certain distance and re-
turn, carrying 1t over her all the way,
that he would reward her with silk
umbrella. She at first hesitated, but,
after making numerous futile at
tempts, finally made off with the 1t
tie mushroom shaped concern held
aloft over her graceful form. She re-
turned in few minutes bearing q
note with the signatures Of O number
of the clerks attached stating that she
had passed by or arrived at their
stores with the parasol In position.
Mr.. Norris gracefully turned over the
umbrella to its rightfut owner, and
the young lady departed with two
umbrellas instead of one. Mr.. Norris

much In need Of a horse, and the sis

the money TO buy him the desired ami

an amount considerably below the es-

was proportionately deficient in the
qualities which make Bucephalus su-

One day when the horse was tied in

drove by and, seeing the outfit, stopped

say a word against the horse, "said the
parson Indignantly; that's a better
beast than my Saviour rode into Jeru-

looked at his teeth. As he closed the
horses mouth and turned away, he
laconically remarked:

Education in the United States.

The actual growth of illiteracy in
the United States in spite of the free
public school system is a problem not
to be evaded. 1t proves to be impos-
sible to execute the compulsory laws
to the letter. The present outlook is
that we must turn to industrial and
manual education as the only means
whereby the masses can be won from
illiteracy. Manual education involves
degree of intellectual training, and
with both we secure a fr1ner moral
basis and bias. Still there should be
a simplifying of compulsory education
laws, and they should be so modified
as to be sure of enforcement.-St.

How He Got His Lessons.

A school-boy in England hit upon a novel method of obtaining the answer to an arithmetical problem. He dropped into grocer's shop on his way to school, and said he wanted certain commodities at certain prices. After exhausting his list he said: ''Now, if give you half a sovereign, what change shall I get back?s The grocer told him, whereupon he thanked the shopman and turned to go. sWait for the things" called the grocer; and his disgust can be imagined when the ingenious urchin tcld him he was too late for school, and as he hadn't learned his arithmetic lesson he had adopted that method of getting the sum worked for him.

GOSSIP OF THE GREAT.

MENEL1K Ill.,, King of Abyssinia, is the son of beggar woman who took the fancy of his royal father.
 PRINCESS LOUISE, Duchess of Fife, is fond of drawing. and is said to be really meritorious artist.
 THE King of Bavaria receives an in- come of S1, ,OOo, 900 year from the profits of the Hofbrauhaus brewery.
 THE Grand Duchess Sergius, of Rus sia, is distinguished authoress, now writing the lives of tho Expresses of Russia.
 THE Shah of Persia begot peculiar passion in England. He became infat- uated with cape-coats and had large number made of all colors and from va rious kinds of materials.
 QUEEN VICTORIA doesn't wear a great deal of fur. She has an odd cloak, how ever, in which she comfortably incases herself when travelling in the cold weather. It is made entirely of ermine, and the ermine is outside. The cloak gives her a very regal appearance.
 THE Empress and members of the aristocracy of Japan have given up the idea of adopting the Western styles of dress for women. The Parisian models did not please tho people in general, and the historic costumes will again be worn exclusively. The great '1ady tailoring establishment" in Tokio, which has been under the charge of Parisian, has closed it's doors for lack of work to do.
 ACCORDING to the Vossiche Zeitung, of Berlin, ex-Empress Frederick took with her to England six large trunks filled with precious articles left by Elm peror Frederick. The Prince of Wales will receive tho Emperor's chronometer, and Queen Victoria the desk used by him from the beginning of his illness. Each member of the English royal fam fly will also receive a memorial of the deceased monarch. . THE rumor that the Prince of Wales is suffering from Bright's disease seems to be confirmed. There is no doubt that the English royal family is plunged in gloom, and that Victoria is worried about the succession. According to the latest reports the Princes physicians have informed him that he has not more than two years lease of life. His trip to Egypt will be undertaken to re- lieve, if possible, his mind of it's present despairing tone. He has always had a presentiment that he would never be King of England, and he is now con- vinced that his forebodings were cor rect.
 THE young German Emperor has shown himself most astonishing trav- eler during his short reign. He came to the throne in June, 1888. Since that time he has spent less time at homo than in travelling, having visited the following places: St. Petersburg, Den mark, Sweden, Frankfort, Sonnenburg, Dresden, Detmold, Stuttgart, Munich, Vienna, Rome, Naples, Hamburg, Leip- 1 zig, Breslau, Wilhelmshaven, Stettin, Buckeburg, Posen, Oldenburg, Schwedt, Weimar, Eisenach, Kiel, Brunswick, Sigmaringen, Norway, England, Bay reuth, Karlsruhe, Strasburg, Metz, Munster, Dresden, Minden and Han
