Squire Hobbs Precepts.

Happiness is the smile on the face OF
contentment.
In the bottom of pleasures cup are Bit
ter dregs
Imagination is the rainbow in the ho-
rizon of the soul
Every mans heart is graveyard, in
which are entombed the dead heroes of
his ideals.
As the flaw in the diamond is soonest
noticed because it is diamond, so the
fault of good man is soonest noticed
because he is a good man.
Our difficulties seem like huge powders
in our path, retarding our progress, but,
when once surmounted, they serve as
stepping stones to success.
A genius not only has a message for
the world, but he succeeds in whispering
that message into the ear of the world
and engraving it upon its heart.
Envy strikes at others and stabs her
self
You can invent a falsehood, but {
truth never.
To do as you please is to become tbs
slave of your own caprices.
| We can take nothing with us from thi
world except what we have wrough
into our minds and characters.

In the course of twenty-four hours about
1900 gallons of air pass through our lungs;
and we have seen that the air thus expelled
from them is unfit to support life-nay, even
that it is highly poisonous. 1t not only con-
tains carbonic acid gas, but some other organic
matters that are much more deleterious 1t
has been ascertained by direct experiment
that air containing respiratory lmpurity,
measured by an addition of only two parts of
carbonie acid per 10000 of air, is the limit of
such impurity that can be allowed to be pres
emit if we are to remain in health. But in
order to attain this standard, no less than
5000 cubic feet, or 10000 gallons of air per
hour must be available, and well mixed with
the air breathed. In other words, by our
breathing we spoil l20 times more of air than
we can use in our lungs, and instead Of only
1900 gallons, We need 100000 gallons OF air
every day Of our lives. Herald Of Health.

A Chance Silhouette.

Treasury clerks in Washington are being
treated to free exhibition of high art on the
walls of one of the corridors, the product Of
chance OF late workmen have been kept
busy on the walls, scraping off the old paint,
filling up the holes with putty and repainting
again One of the men at work on a panel
of wall opposite the office of the fourth au-
ditor in the first floor, west wing, happened
to scrape the old paint in such way that the
uncovered portion made perfect silhouette
of woman's head, with the face turned to-
ward the ceiling. The patch is long and ir-
regular in shape, and the resemblance to q
face does not become apparent until the
northern half is covered by some means,
when the face is distinctly recognized in a
moment.
The head is covered with jaunty, stylish
bonnet, of the genus known as poke" and
the hair is coiled in a bewitching knot at the
| back of the head, the features are beautiful,
/ pure and classic in their outlines, the nose
rather Grecian, and the lips and chin deli
cately turned Altogether, it is quite sigh
producing countenanee, and many u longing
wistful glance has been cast at this dull
brown patch, as though the gazers thought il
pity that such face should be but the
chance product of wall scrapers knife
| When the head is covered and the other enc
of the patch is shown, neatly booted foo1
appears as perfect in its outlines as the head
The scraper says that this queer combination
of outlines was done entirely unconsciously
by him as he removed the paint. ASKING

Polly as a Reformer,

Last summer there was parrot on Third
avenue that used to stay out Of doors the
greater part Of the day. In the next house
was a scolding woman She used to scold
every minute, either her husband, or the chill
dren, or the cat, and soon the parrot began to
mimic her. Between the two, the neighoors
rearly went distracted But pretty soon the
woman stopped She could hear the parrot
nocking her Cries Of stop your noise, "
"shut up, n"Mind me, sirl" I'm strap you,
made the air vocal, but as soon as Polly found
out that she was having the fun all to herself
she stopped, too. Now, not word OF scold-
Ing is heard in the Third street house, and
Polly sings and whistles her old time dittles.
She is looked upon as an apostle of peace BY
tbs neighbors. Free Press

Something About the History and Nature
of This Beautiful Evergreen.
Although the holly is one of the
most beautiful of our evergreen plants.
it is comparatively rare that it is found
domesticated and adjoining the lawns
either of our suburban villas or the
grounds of more extensive and remote
country places. Many forest compan-
ions of the holly have been removed
from their parent soil and made to
flourish in all their original vigor and
beauty near the abodes of men, but it
has for the most part maintained its
wild estate of savage freedom, and in
general is only to be seen in its full
| glory in the spots where it has been
planted by natures own hand. This
apparent neglect of a plant which is
| second to none of the evergreens in Its
! ornamental character is due to no want
Of esthetic appreciation on the part Of
arbor-culturists, but to the belief which
generally prevails, among amateur
gardeners at least. that the holly viii
not bear transplanting. and viii
languish and die when removed from
its native soil. Many country gentle
men and farmers have made the at

have been so frequent as to discourage

happy to have adorned their ground

The little daughter of Mrs. Mary A.
Goodwin, of Savannah residing on Guer-
ard street, owned a pet dog and cat.
The two pets entertained for each other
more than the usual affection known to
exist between such animals, and of
course there was happy family all
around, which was broken into by the
sudden death of the dog. The singular
thing in connection with the death of the
dog was the uncomfortable grief exhib-
tied by pussy, and in ten minutes after
the dogs spirit had fled the cat began to
stagger, and finally fell PROSTATE between
the fore paws of the dead dog and there
died.-Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.

A writer in the Congregationalist

DREAMS GO ev coNTRARlEs.


Experiments Made Upon French Rhyui-

From time immemorial dreams have been
the wonderland Of waking hours Hope and
fear have wrought them into their own fab

worked up curious ritual Of dreams that
go by contraries," Of dreams Of the n,Jrning
light Of dreams with signifcances, some Of
which seem natural enough, while to few Of
those apparently most arbitrary, science her
self has offered q certain amount Of explanar
ton.
Dreaming is an experience which may be
called common to humanity, though it varies
50 widely in different individuals that, in q
few exceptional cases, it is absolutely UNI
known A French Psychologist caused many
curious experiments to be made on himself
during sleep. These experiments took the
form of trifing physical sensations, which

aggerated effect on the sleeping mind Thus
a feather tickling the lips was converted into
