Good TO Travel On.

There are three trades or avocations
that afford those engaged in them oppor-
tunity to travel and see the world, and
these the printers, the coopers and the
BARRIERS. In either case man, master
thereof, can visit any portion Of this
country and always BIO certain of work.
The typo can walk into any English
printing Office in the country, or the
world, for that matter, and earn his sup
per. He can shift from Maine to Cali
fornia, from Manitoba to Florida, and,
wherever he goes, find work. He needs
no letters Of credit, none Of recommen-
dation, for he has the available knowl-
edge. The same is true of the cooper
Where barrels are to be put together
there he can find employment. And
what with beer barrels, flour barrels,
whisky barrels and sugar barrels, there
are always barrels to make. Likewise
in Portland, Ore, or Portland, Me-; into
one at New Orleans or Duluth, it mat
tiers not, good barber can as easily
shave the attennated cheek of the Yam
kee as the dark visage of the Creole. and
need never want employment
The clerk, the cashier, the salesman,
the bookkeeper, the writer, all must have
longer time to manifest their capabili-
ties, must have a measure of acquaint-
ance, must have that which we know as
confidence; but these three, the printer,
the barber and the cooper, need no char
acter from their last employer. Toledo

The Worth of Silence.

Men great in deeds are often taciturn.
Does their taciturnity arise from the diff
fidence which fears lest words should ex-
coed deeds, or from conviction that
safety is promoted by silence? Wash
ington's reserve made him stiff, formal
and i'll at ease in company, but it also
prevented his plans from being betrayed
to an enemy and the country from being
deceived by his promises. William the
Silent was frugal Of words, because re-
serve that concealed his designs, even
from those acting with him, was neces-
sary to the independence of the Neither
lands. A writer in Leisure Hours says
that the most dramatic of silent men was
Wallenstein, the antagonist of Gustavus
Adolphus, and the commander OF the
emperor's armies in the thirty years
war. He insisted that the deepest silence
should reign around him. His officers
took care that no loud conversation
should disturb their general. They knew
that chamberlain had been hanged for
waking him without orders. and that an
officer who would wear clanking spurs
in the commanders presence had been
secretly put to death. In the room of
his palace the servants glided as il phan-
toms, and a dozen sentinels moved
around his tent charged to secure the
silence the general demanded. Chains
were stretched across the streets in order
to guard him against the disturbance OF
sounds. Wallenstein's taciturnity, which
made him shun speech, and his love OF
silence, that caused him to be irritated
at the slightest noise, were due to his
constitutional temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from any
one, and he could not endure to be gazed
at, even when giving an order. The sol
diers, when he crossed the camp. pre-
tended not to see him, knowing that a
curious look would bring them punish
ment.-Boston Budget.

CARLYLE a, His wife sketched Him

"a certain goosish man, my quondam
lover;" "the same sentimental looking
person with the open mouth, who used
to go about catching flies in Edinburgh"
she retired to his inn and yapored back
in the course Of an hour or so in all the
pride Of two waistcoats, one of figured
velvet, the other of sky blue satin, gos-
samer silk stockings and Morocco leather
slippers" HE is something
liker to St. Prcux than George Craig is
to Wolmar. He has his talents, his vast
and cultivated mind, his vivid imagina-
ton, his independence and his high
souled principles of honor. But then

The Duke of Wellington.

1.-The duke, being asked how he had sue
ceeded in beating Napoleon's marshals,
one after another, said: I will tell you.
They planned their campaigns just as
you might make u splendid set Of har.
ness. 1t looks very we'll and answers
very well until it gets broken. and then
you are done for. Now. l made my
campaign Of ropes. II anything went
wrong l tied knot and went on"
This, too, is very characteristic story,
"When asked what was the best test
of great general he replied: TO know
when to retreat and to dare to do it,"
Here is another anecdote:
1.-THE duke used to say that he attrib-
uted his success In some measure to al
ways being quarter of an hour earlier
than he was expected, and that the wise
course in action is to attack your enemy
at the moment he is preparing to attack
you" - Sir William Fraser's Reminds
cences.

encamped lies between glaciers of the
Nisqually and Cowlitz rivers, on the
south side of the mountain. 1t covers
probably four square miles and ranges
in altitude from 5000 to 1000 feet. The
meadow on the east side of the noun
tain, between the Cowlitz and Matches
glaciers, is about the same size and diff
fers but little in vegetation. The other
meadows on the main mountain are much
smaller and, with one exception, difficult
of access. The meadows on the summits
of the surrounding lower mountains are
quite extensive, however. The timber
on the meadows is confined mainly to
the crests of the ridges running up the
mountain. "-Garden and Forest.

A Queer Mine of Valuable Wood.

Forty miles above New Orleans is the
old bed of the Bonnet Care crevasse.
Fifteen years ago the Father Of Waters
burst his bolts and swept through there
to Lake Pontchartrain. Five years ago
the state of Louisiana, with the assist
ance of the Mississippi Valley railroad,
rebuilt the Bonnet Care levee, but it
could not restore altogether the condi-
tions prevailing antecedent to the Gre
vase. The river in the ten years 1t
passed through the swamp piled up its
sands against the big cypress forests
there. 1t has left behind buried for
est. The piled up sand has deadened
nearly all the trees, and single mill
is now at work there manufacturing
them into shingles with all the rapidity
with which that machine works.--New

Didn't Have n Ticket.

funny incident happened reo2a.ly
on the Providence division of the Old
Colony railroad. A large, raw boned,
good natured man entered the car as the
train held up at the Roxbury station.
The car was crowded, and people were
standing. The new conner stopped sud-
denly beside seat which was occupied
by young lady, who was buried in a
novel, and beside her reposed pet pug
dog. The other passengers had stood
from Boston to this point without pro-
testing, but the latest arrival took in the
situation at glance, and said mildly:
II would like to sit down, If you
please"
The young woman looked up dreamily
from the book, and replied, with dignity:
1.-THE seat is engaged"
by the dog"
"Yes."
HAS the dog a ticket"
No answer.
ooh, Pm sorry he hasn't ticket, be-
cause I'll have to bounce him off the
train"
And without moments hesitation the

to the window and dropped to the
ground, and the vacant seat was taken
by the stranger.
The young woman was paralyzed for
o moment.
The train was only moving slowly as
it left Roxbury, and the pug was not
harmed, scampering off for dear life.
His mistress, as soon as she grasped the
situation, screamed to the approaching
conductor to stop the engine SO that she
might recover her pet. The conductor
was soon informed as to the cause of the
sensation, and quietly told the young
woman that she might get off at the
next station il she wished to and hunt
for the dog. She did SO, to the delight
Of tho crowded car.-Boston Cor. New
