A Mans Opinion of a Weman's Dress,

Said woman, the other day: 81
would rather have mans opinion
about my gowns, any time, than a
woman's. He does not know once in a
hundred times what the material is, or
what it is worth. He does know, how
ever, whether or not it is becoming.
Now woman will sit in your room and
tell you what beautiful gown it is.
All the while she is looking you over
from head to foot, saying to herself
that the gown cost so much, the trim
ming so much, and the buttons so
much more. You can see that she
thinks she could have bought the gown
for $50 less, and have it made up in
much prettier way. If the gown pleases
man, he shows it in his looks, and
perhaps says something pleasant about
it,. Whether he says anything or not,
if he likes it his look of appreciation is
more than satisfactory, while if the
gown is not pretty or becoming, he
simply doesn't notice it. That is the
way of man; he never sees a thing
that is not attractive, and is quick to APP
preciate one that is. "-BOStOn Gazette.

How to Prove That the Earth
Turns.

1t has puzzled the heads of a good
many youngsters to know how the earth
turns round. A German educational
journal published in Frankfort gives
the following directions for proving that
the earth does move -: Take good
sized bowl, fill it nearly full of water
and place it upon the floor of a room
which is not exposed to shaking or jar
ring from the street. Sprinkle over the
surface of the water coating of lyco-
podium powder-a white substance
which is sometimes used for the pur-
pose of the toilet, and which can be OBJ
tanned at almost any apothecary's.
Then upon the surface of this coating
OF powder make, with powdered char
coal, straight black line, say an inch
or two in length. Having made this
little black mark with the charcoal
powder on the surface of the contents
of the bowl lay down upon the floor,
close to the bowl, stick, or some other
straight object, so that it will be ex-
actly parallel with the mark. If the
line happens to be parallel with crack
in the floor, or with any stationary OBJ
Ject in the room, this will serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for few
hours, and then observe the position of
the black mark with reference to the
object that it is parallel with. 1t will
be found to have moved about, and to
have moved from east to west-that is
tie say, in the direction opposite to that
OF the movement of the earth on its
axis. The earth in simply revolving
has carried the water and everything
else in the bowl around with it, but the
powder on the surface has been left be-
hind little. The line will always be
found to have moved from east to west,
which is perfectly good proof that
everything else has moved the other

HOrsemanship OF Indian Riders.

Fifty fne-lookipg young men, mounted
upon poni s, drew up before the tents.
AT signal from the chief they began
their evolutions with loud yell. In a
moment they disappeared over neigh
boring hill. Then there suddenly rose
a mighty trampling of horses feet, and
they swept past again, so compact that
| only saw ball made of horses and
men. Splitting in two, one body swept
to the right and another to the left, and
again they disappeared. Presently they
charged each other in solid lines, and
while the spectators waited breathlesslv
for the shock of collision the files skill
fully opened to the right and left and
the lines passed through the intervals
without touching. Now came the mo-
ment for displaying individual horse
manship. Some of the riders APP
preached, each lying so close to his
pony's back that nothing but the horse
could be seen. Others stood erect upon
their animals backs. Some hung to
the horse by one foot and one hand,
so that their bodies were completely
protected by those of the ponies. These
young warriors also threw objects upon
the ground, and picked them up at full
gallop, and drew bows apd shot arrows
from beneath the horses necks. Some

How Much DO Doctors Know?

Not much for certain, that is certain.
Else there would not be so much dis
agreement among them, not only in di-
agnoslng or attempting to cure diseases,
but also in means for preventing them.
There is not an article used by man for
food, drink or raiment that has not
been both recommended and con-
demned by physicians, frequently with
out consideration for the varying ma
lures and environment of men. A few
years ago there was great pother be-
cause of the habit, among both men and
women, of holding up certain articles
of clothing by snugly- fitting waist
band, and all sorts of contrivances
were invented for women, patterned af-
ter mems braces. Now out comes an
English doctor with series of causes
for consumption, among which is this ::
" Braces are another curse of civiliza-
tion-by suspending the weight of our
clothes from the shoulder instead of
fast ening them in the savage and
natural way by grid round the
waist. "-BOStOn Transcript.

SpOnging the Tiger.

When Pezon, the lion-tamer, was at
Moscow with his menagerie, he had oc-
casion TO employ mouiik, a fine speci-
men of Cossack, to clean out the
cages of the wild beasts. The Cossack
did not understand word of French,
and the terms of the contract were set
tied in dumb show. BY way of instruct
ing him in his new duties Pezon went
through a sort of pantomime with the
broom, sponge and water bucket. The
moujik watched him closely and APP
peared fully to understand the details
of the lesson given.
Next morning, armed with broom,
bucket and sponge, he opened the
first cage he came to and quietly stepped
in, as he had seen his master step on
the previous day, into two cages of
harmless brutes, but this one happened
to be tenanted by splendid but I'M
tanned tiger, that lay stretched on the
floor fast asleep. At the noise made by
opening and closing the door the crea-
ture raised its head and turned its green
eyes tull on the man, who, all uncon-
sclous OF his danger, stood in the corner
dipping his big sponge into the bucket.
AT that moment PeZon came out of his
caravan and was struck dumb by the
terrible sight that met his gaze. What
could he do to warn the man of his dan
ger? A sound, movement on his part
might enrage the great beast and has
ten its attack on the defenseless Cos
sack. So Pezon stood awaiting devel-
opments, ready to rush to the scene
when the crisis came. The mouiik,
sponge in hand, coolly approached the
tiger and made ready to rub him down
with the stolidity of a military boot
black polishing his captains boots.
The sudden application of cold water
to its hide evidently produced a very
agreeable effect on the tiger, for it be-
gan to purr, stretched out its paws,
rolled over on its back, and compla-
Gently offered every part of its body to
the vigorous treatment of the mouiik,
who went on scrubbing with might and
main. All the while Pezon stood there
with his eyes wide open and as if nailed
to the spot. When he had finished his
job the Cossack left the cage as quietly
as he had entered it, and it required
the most energetic and expressive ges-
lures on the part of the lion-tamer to
prevent his repeating the experiment
on second wild beast.-London Times.

Resist and Overcome.

A mans besetting sin is the one that
jumps with his inclinations. Does he
love mirthfulness? Then he must be
careful lest he run into excessive levity
and play the harlequin. He will be
tempted to make jests of sacred things.
A minister ought not to be monk, but
neither should he be a social comedian.
Does man love ease? Then he
always interprets those providences in
his own favor which allow him to shirk
hard work and swing in his hammock.
Does he love flattery and eclat? Then
he is tempted to seek applause and to
imagine that he is serving God when
he is only burning incense on the altar
of self-worship. The worst enemy is
the one which wears an honest disguise.
Look out for SelfshnesS. 1t is the old
Adam " lurking behind every hedge.
1t will always keep pace with you if
you give it the upper hand. Keep no
league with it, for Christ will never
abide in the same heart with that sub
tile and greedy tyrant. A Christian is
never safe, never strong, never true to
Christ, unless he is constantly " collar
ing" every sinful and selfish passion,
and forcing it into unconditional sur
render.-Dr. T. L. Cuyler.

The Death Penalty.

Mr.. Ralph w. Pope, a New York
electrician, gives some reasons for
wishing that the legislature of his state
had not adopted electricity as the means
of executing criminals. He said
The principal element of barbarity in
the existing method was that of fixing
the day on which criminal was to be
executed. 1t was one of those DEGREES
of an all-wise Providence, that, in the
natural course of events, none of us
were aware of the time when we were
to terminate our earthly existence. 1t
might be to-day, or tomorrow, or next
week, and in the face of this uncertainty
our lives were passed in comparative
freedom from anticipation of the fatal
day. Had it been arranged otherwise
and had each of us been made aware of
our earthly career, life would have been
a period of continual misery. In this
respect we might prefitably follow the
French practice, where the day fixed
for execution is unknown 10 the vic
tim, that he is awakened from a sound
sleep. and in few moments all is over.
He believed that similar provision has
been made in the law under considera-
ton, but the use of electricity had APP
parently made it essential that certain
elaborate preparations should be made
which added to the many Objectionable
features of the whole business. If he
has been called upon for suggestions as
to the most humane method of execu-
ton, be would have said that the cell
of a condemned prisoner might be
sealed and filled with gas of some de-
scription, at an hour when he was
asleep, and upon date which bad not
been known to him.-Electricdl Rerie,U.

Universal Timekeeper.

The geochronoscope is the latest at
tractive feature fer the pharmacy. Mr..
James Anderson of the Dundee drug
stores has developed the idea from an
invention by a local clock-maker. The
geochronoscope consists of a round
cylinder on which is placed map of
the world. While examining this in
strument it struck Mr.. Anderson that,
If it could be attached to a clock and
moved by the clock in such way that
tha cylinder would revolve once every
twenty-four hours, the relative time in
a y part of the world would be shown
at glance. Mr.. Kelt took up the idea,
and has made an instrument which is
perfect in every particular. The clock
is mounted on the geochronoscope. A
thin, elastic cord stretches from above
to below the cylinder, acts as a meridian
index, and, as the cylinder revolves,
every part coming under the index is
noon. There are twenty-four longitude
lines on the cylinder, and these being
numbered the same as an ordinary
clock, the telling of the time in any
given port is as simple as an ordinary
clock.

Religion and Business.


1t is possible to put into ones COM
ing and going, into ones doing, a glow
OF reverence for God, and to make it
evident in every transaction that one is
trying to be obedient to the divine will
Men may be strictly honest, true in
speech and all that, and yet be worldly
How often one hears the remark that
business is business. Very true. But
business may be more than business; it
may be means of grace; it may be,
and ought to be, school in which the
soul grows in gratitude, in patience, in
faith, in love, and in all the qualities
through which soul comes into fitness
to fellowship, now and evermore, with
the Lord Jesus Christ. 1t is pitiable
sight to see "A man hard and cold in his
business, as though this were a great
section of his existence in which there
is no possibility of cultivating religious
principle and having the grace of God.
1t is refreshing sight to see a man
living in the world and doing with his
might what his hand finds to do, and
yet doing all in this spirit of loyalty to
the Master.-AdUance.

A Good Experience.

Christians might avoid much trouble
and inconvenience if they would only
believe what they professional God is
able to make them happy without any
thing else. They imagine that if such
dear friend were to die, or such and
such blessings were to be removed,
they would be miserable, whereas God
can make them thousand times hap
pier without them, To mention my
own case, God has been depriving me
of one blessing after another, but as
every one was removed, he has come
in and filled up its place; and now,
when | am cripple and not able to
move, | am happier than ever was in
my life before, or ever expect to be,
and if | had believed this twenty years
ago | might have been spared much
anxiety .-PGyson.

Friendship.

Friendship relieves our cares. raises
our hopes and Gains our fears. Friend
ship improves our happiness and abates
our miseries, by doubling all joys and
dividing all our griefs. 1t knocks at
the door of wretchedness and want and
gives comfort and encouragement. II
hovers over the fields of deadly strife
and unites the foes in sympathy and
kindness. 1t is an eternal and universal
fragrance. Friendship is flower that
blooms in every season of the year, and
in every cline; in the midst of the
snow-capped mountains of Russia, as
well as on the plains of sunny Italy 4:
in the midst of the pine forests where
the breezes sing among the branches,
as well as in the orange groves of the
south; in the midst of the regions of
the glittering pinnacles of perpetual
ice and snow, as well as in the milder
zones. No survey charts, no boundary
line, no mountain steep, no valley or
vale, can fix limit to it. Friendship,
true friendship, hourisheth only in the
soul of self-sacriicng heart; there it
has perpetual summer of felicity.
That was beautiful remark of Socrates
when he was asked the question, WHY
he built his house so small: "Small
as it is, | wish could fill it with
friends" Horace, the sweet singer.
said: A cheerful and a good-natured
friend is such blessing, that it ad-
mits of no comparison but itself -
While Cicero, the great old orator,
said 1t is no less an evil for man to
be without friend than the heavens
to be without a sun" -Enchange.
