Value of Little Things.

An instance of valuable investigation
of little things is told by Professor
Holden, formerly the astronomer at the
Wisconsin university, but at present in
charge of the greatest telescope in the
world at Lick observatory. The pro-
,fessor is blessed with some bright chill
dren, and watching, with fathers
care, their earliest attempts to formu-
late their ideas into sounds and words,
he became so interested that he kept a
record of their efforts, the age at which
made, and other collateral matters.
This record he finally had printed
for private circulation among friends.
Time few by, when one day com
munication was received stating that a
copy had by some chance reached a
French pathological society, and it, in
return for his interesting contribution
to their work, had elected him an
honorary member. And so disti1s
gpished sciesAst is enabled to write
aheraI initials after his name because,

an accurate account of his little ones

Tolu Tafy.

Chicle, as you may know, is the gum
of the topico tree, and is found only in
Yucatan, where it is collected by the
Indians and shipped to this country in
a crude state. Fifteen years ago it was
used only for luting machinery, and
could be bought in any quantity for
three cents pound. Adams, the New
York tolu man, first discovered that it
would make a good chewing-gum, and
began to use it. 1t was shortly adj
vanced to seventeen cents a pound, and
about five years ago the importers
formed combine and forced the price
to twenty cents. The profits in tolu at
the time were enormous. For long
time my factory yielded me fifty per
cent. clear profit. There is great loss
refining the raw material. 1t comes in
Jumps about the size of a mans head,
and is brittle, like camphor gum. 1t
flows from the trees hike sap, and is
caught by the natives in basins. In
order to make it weigh more the In
dams resorted to the trick of mould
ing it around stones or Jumps OF clay

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Be proud. A proud man cannot be
mean
Be bold. It is the only way to COM
mand confidence.
Accumulate. The more you own the
more power you have.
Be quick You can't use a minute
but onee-make the most of it.
Be clean. If your body and charac-
ter are spotress nothing can shame you.
Who, then, is unconquerablei He
whom the inevitable cannot overcome.
Be careful. A needless word or act
may cost you years work or a life
time ofpain.
Be honest. Credit is the premium
paid for honesty Run in debt only
when it is necessary; and never unless
you are reasonably sure you can pay.
A beautiful person is like fountain,
watering the earth and spreading fertil-
ity; it is therefore more delightful
and more honorable to give than to re-
ceive.
Multitude of jealousies, and lack of
some predominant desire that should
marshal and put in order all the rest,
maketh any mans heart hard to find or
sound.
Never look back. You can't help
the mistakes you have made. Don't
make any more. Don't think of what
you have achieved, but of what you
may accomplish.

A Reply to "Appropria tions.o

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
Your correspondent who signs himself "Ap-
preparations" unwittingly misstates the facts as
to the appropriations made for the various
charitable institutions of the District, for the
sake of defending caste prejudice. He at
tempts to show that while the colored people
constitute only one-third of the population thew
receive twice as much money as the whites
According to his figures the amount received
by the whites is S3l 500, by the colored
S64,575. To make the S64,575 for the colored
people he charges the S51 ,875 appropriated for
the Freedman's hospital to their account; here
in comes his mistake. The Freedman's hospi-
tai is not for colored people exclusively; it
admits all persons. 1t cares for annually about
200 white patients. Like the Providence, Gar
field, Columbia, Children's and Washington
Asylum hospital, it is for all who come. So the
S51,S75 will have to be deducted from the
S64,57 which will leave S12, 700 for the COL
ored home, an institution which would not
refuse a white child knocking at its door, By
the figures 1t will be seen that instead of the
colored people receiving two-thirds of the
amount appropriated for charity, they receive
about one-third.
Your correspondent iose. sight of the great
principle involved in this matter. Citizens are
citizens. Charity must know no color and
when the government is called upon to con-
tribute to its support it must see that there is
no discrimination made.
The Freedman's hospital is supported by the
government. By what authority should like
to know, could the surgeon-in-chief exclude
from 1t citizen who is sick ON account of the
accident of his complexion? He has no such
authority and would be ashamed to exercise it
If he had.
The institution is for the unfortunate sick,
and is governed by feelings Of humanity only.

Father Donnelly said that the southwestern
section OF the city should have representation
on the board Of Commissioners, for the one
reason, if no other, that the southwest had the
railroads to contend with, which the northwest
had not. "When we get District Commission
ers," said the reverend gentleman, ''who will

railroad companies, we may hope to accom-
plish something beneficial"

From the Chicago Tribune.
Can you guess the latest fad of the girl Of the
period?
You cannot Then IL is this: She wears bells
on her garters
Did anyone ever hear of the like? Who could
have started such . senseless and barbaric
idea? What il its significance and what will be
the outcome? But who is it proclaims that il
shall be 90?
Fashion-Dame Fashion-it is her invincible
decree.
The fad has just reached our midst, coming
has come slowly and perhaps reluctantly. but
It has taken the feminine fancy, and conse-
quently has come to stay.
Think of it! What jingling sound viii be
heard Saturday afternoon when women take
their accustomed promenade up State street.
How the fad ever originated history fails to
teli but hearsay has it that a certain ingenious
husband disliking the stealthy tread of his
wife, In that she often surprised him at his
reveries and dreams, conceived this plan of her
wearing bell that he might be always cogni-
can't of her approach like the cow-bells worn by
the pretty Attorneys. Little thought he that
in few short months thousands of grateful
husbands would be thanking him for the timely
| suggestion.
The wearing of these folly garters was first
brought to the writer's notice some few DAYS
since when duty required that call be made
upn one of society's relgning bellies As the
young woman entered the room a tinkling sound
was audible in addition to the gentle frou-frou of
her dress. Nothing particular was thought of
1t, however, at the time presuming some toy
terrier or household pet was following its mis-
trets, but as every movement on the part OF the
lady brought forth the same almost inaudi-

why, they are the latest thing in-ahem
garters. All the Eastern ladies wear them, but
Chicago women are just waking up to the fact
Cute idea, don't you think? 1t excites the
curiosity 80, besides being rather fascinating"
"No. you can't purchase them in the city,"
In answer to an inquiry, "but the bells can
be procured at the jewellers and sewed to the
elastic"
''Yes, they are worn on all occasions. OF
course, they make some noise, but it would
hardly be noticeable out of doors with the
rattle OF cars and carriages"
