Busting a Coincidence.

SURPRISE PARTIES,
A GoLd Old Institution Defended by Gar
rulous Old Gentleman.

A GoGd Old Institution Defended by a Gar
ruIous Old Gentleman.
II was reading in society paper
the other day." said a gentleman whose
healthful and rubicund visage bellies
the hint of age suggested by his frosty
whiskers, ian account of an alleged
surprise party The account, after
stating in so many words that it was
surprise party, went on to describe the
magnificent toilets of the hostess and
the guests, the elegant supper, the
costly cotillion favors, etc, etc. What
sort of surprise party was that, do
you think? The lady of the house was
no more surprised than l am at this
minute If it was surprise party, how
did the hostess get the tip to pile all
her good clothes on, prepare her cup
per and buy lot OF silly knick-knacks
to give to the dudes and dudesses who
came to surprise herP suppose that
that sort of thing is all the go now,
however. A person who should organ
ize a surprise party like those we used
to organize in our youth when every
fellow brought his own and his girls
supper in basket and the mistress OF
the house really aOGs surprised, would
be laughed at for an idiot or boor.
It's all very well for the young folks of
to-day to enjoy themselves in their own
way. It's their own lookout if they
want to get up swell party and fancy
that they are having a good time, but
when they choose to libel a good old in
stitution by calling their glittering
shindig surprise party it's time for
me to enter a protest " And the good
old gentleman wandered away, muir
muring softly to himself: Surprise
party. cshaw. Chicago Journal

FORTY MINUTES READING.
The Variety and Extent of Information
That May Be Easily Gained.

The Variety aud Extent of Information
That May Be Easily Gained.
The question of what and when to
read, and more than all, how to read.
is most important to every one. There
are no exceptions to this among those
who are old enough to read any thing;
they must all read something if they
want to keep above ground with live
people; the question is one Of choice.
The habit of reading is worth a great
deal; that of thoughtful reading is worth
more. By it one gains information,
discipline, power; and it is power we
are all struggling for. There are thou
sands of young men and women aim
lessly frittering away golden opportu-
mites. Some are doing it unconscious
lv, never realizing seriously the i'm
portance of thoughtful course of read
inc. and so their earlier years wasted,
they will find their later years poverty
stricken in mind and morals One 5
earlier years are seedtime for harvests
of rich and precious enjoyment In the
autumn of life.
A writer in the Troy Times makes
a strong appeal to the thousands
of young men and women to take
up some judicious course of read
ing. and thus enlarge their sphere
of life, and the power and enjoyment
of living. He recommends the Chau-
tauaua course of reading as having been
tested over eight years, and says; 10
day there are over one hundred thou
sand persons scattered all over the
world pursuing this with profit and de-
light. The school at Chautaudua Lake
is college in ones own house. 1t IS
for busy people who left school years
ago and who yet desire to pursue some
systematic course of instruction to keep
abreast of the rapid progress in all de-
partments of knowledge. 1t is for high
school and college graduates and for
people who never entered either; for
merchants, mechanics, appren-
tees, clerks. farmer boys, shop
girls, mothers, busy house-keepers, for
people of leisure and wealth, who do
not know what to do with their time;
for poor people who struggle hard to
make ends meet for everybody who
NAV have hunger of heart and mind for
som thing better than they now have.
The Chautauqua enterprise is pro-
test against the idea that scholarship is
the monopoly Of the professional
classes. Education is for everybody
who hungers and has pluck. Chautau-
qua protests against the idea that youth
is the only time that an education can
be acquired. The man and woman of
forty can get an education"
Nearly every one can so economic
time as to give forty minutes day on
an average to systematic course OF
reading Many a one who pretends to
be busy person wastes more than that
amount daily. And many read that
much time and more. whose reading
does not count much because it is at
random without aim or direction. 1t
is not wise to spend time and strength
this way, it week.-mrs. rather than builds
up. Life is too important and serious
TO fritter it away in aimless and in
different reading We need the help OF
the best minds and thoughts in all de-
partments of life and labor. Treasure

The Story Councc cd with a Hoosier Poll
tician's White Hair.
In a late number of your paper your
correspondent Burdette asks:
Say, speaking of Science with big S, will

thing? Did ever y5odys hair turn white in a
single night from terror or grief2 This is no

Now, | am not a ''learned medical

dette's question. Some years ago l was
in indianapolis, Ind, on business, and
made there the acquaintance of very
pleasant and intelligent gentleman
who was a member of the Senate of
Indiana, Mr.. John Coburn. He had not
reached middle life. With a fresh,
rudy complexion and healthy look
and vigorous step and bearing of early
manhood, he had an abundance of white
hair on his head that indicated man
of at least fOurscore years. | could not
understand how so youthful man in
personal appearance should have such
remarkably white hair. Curiosity led
me, after a very agreeable and social
acquaintance of several days to ask:
why is it, Mr.. Coburn, that as young
man as you are should have so white
a head Of hair?" He answered at once:
20, Mr. B., there is terrible story con-
uected with my white hair" And he told
it to me as follows: "A few years ago |

MOROCCO'S TREASURY.
1t Is Filled by Means of Exactions and
Authorized Theft.

1t Is Filled by Means OF EXactlOns ana
Authorized Theft.
The Moroccan soldier is not so much
q man of war as collector of taxes.
and from time to time his master senos
him, without law or rule, to visit those
whom he finds either too rich, or rich
enough for him, the Sultan, to claim
his share of the prize. Rapine is the
only resource of the treasury. Each
Pasha levies his share on all the bar
gains concluded on his territory. This
state OF affairs has, however, been i'm
proved since the Intervention OF Eu-
ropeans in Morocco. But not so many
years ago, and in the second half Of
this century, the most horrible fortunes
were inflicted both upon Mussulmen
and Jewish merchants in order to force
them to avow their fatal riches. Mr..
j. Drummond Hay, in the narrative Of
his Journey on the banks of the LeucOs,
relates dreadful details: men shut up
in ovens. wedges driven in under their
nails, children smOthered slowly before
the eyes of their parents, a man shut
up in the cage of a chained lion whose
chain was long enough to enable him
to come within an inch of the victim,
who could not make the slightest move
ment without being rent by the talOns
of the beast Doubtless the stories of Mr..
Drummond Hay are exaggerated
at the present day. and
perhaps they were when he
wrote But this fact remains, in essen
tial points at least; the treasury is filled
by means of exactions and authorized
thefts; and every official conscience
may be bought This is true from one
end of the social scale to the other.
When the merchant has tortured the
slave. and when the Pasha has ritled
the merchant, the Sultan employs SINH
lar means to relieve the Pasha of his
booty. Many a Pasha, after finally
getting rich, is betrayed by one Of
those around him and denounced to the
Emperor as a great capitalist. There
upon lie is sent for to court, and the
good sovereign spoils him of every
thing. even to the last piece of money
that eeps in his Golfers or in his pock-
cts, even to the last fon, to the last
rhGna, to the last terra-cotta vase which
is sold in the market-place. Then, a
second Job, the Pasha is sent back to
his subjects so that he may begin an
other period of oppression. If, how
ever, the Master has reason to suspect
that any portion of the treasure has
been kept back or hidden, he has the
Pasha beaten, and then sends him to
spend the rest of his days in the con-
tempative shades of a prison. -Benja-
min Constant, in Harper's Magazine.

1t was a favorite thought and con-
ceit Of the classical writer's that men
were divided into three classes: Men,
who themselves knew what they ought
to do; men, who did not themselves
know, but who are willing to learn
from others what they should do; and
men, who neither knew nor would
learn from others what was best for
them to do. If one can not belong to
the choice few who form the first of
these three classes. he ought, at least,
to see that he does not bolong to the
ignoble many who form the third. -
