There is not much future for a

Men suppose that their reason has
command over their words; still, it
happens that words in return exercise
authority on reason. Lord Bacon.
One must fall in love with duty in
order to do ones duty with content.
Such love is passionless. Duty gives
neither kisses nor caresses.
We are all of us made more grace
full by the inward presence of what we
believe to be generous purpose; our
actions move to a hidden music-''a
melody that's sweetly pitched in tune"
George Eliot.
Literature, a poor but widely-read
type of it, is responsible for some of
the fippant manners of American
youth. But, as the home must be
credited with the merit of intoxicating
good manners, so the lack of courtesy
must be a reproach to home training

NORWEGIAN BREAD.

Potatoes and Rye Mixed Together and
Baked in Thin Cakes.
Bread-making was another industry
which we had a good opportunity of
seeing while we changed horses at one
of the stations.
Contrary to our expectations, we
found white bread everywhere, but the
common bread is heavy bread, the
chief ingredient of which is rye 1t is
always sour; the good housewife in

Bread" made of potatoes and rye. 1t
was this kind of bread that the two
women whom we happened in upon
were making. They were in a little
underground room, unlighted except
from the door. The walls were of
stone and the floor was of
earth. They were seated on
either side of long low table,
upon which were huge mounds of
dough. The one nearest the door cut
off piece of this, and nodded it and
rolled it out to a certain degree of thin
ness, Uu0H lU0 OU10E OQS UOOh IL, anu
with the greatest care rolled it still
more. At her right hand was the fire.
place, and upon the Goals was a red
piece of iron forming a huge griddle
more than halt yard across. The
bread matched this very nearly in size
when it was ready to be baked, and it
was spread out and turned upon the
griddle with great dexterity, and as
soon as it was baked it was added to
the great heap on the floor.
The woman said she should continue
to bake bread for thirty days. She had
a large family of men, who consumed
a great deal; they had to bake very
often in consequence. In many places
they do not bake bread oftener than
twice year; then it is circumstance
like haying or harvesting. We heard
an Englishman say of this bread of the
country: Zone might eat an acre of it
and then not be satisfied. Cor Lon

MASCULINE JEWELRY.
The Signet Ring the Only Bauble of q
Well-Dressed Man.

WelI-Dressed Man.
THE fashion of wearing jewelry
among men is growing to higher points
than it reached even in 1884. 1t was
then, you know, the practice reached
high-water mark. 1t attracted good
deal of attention at the time, as prior
to that the jewelry of men had been
notable mainly by reason of its alb
sence. The dudes, who suppressed
watch-chains, scarf-pins and the like,
allowed themselves full liberty in the
matter of finger-rings, and from this
the general run of clubmen took their
cues. Many a fashionable man wore
five or six rings on his fingers. The
great design then was the snake-ring,
and after that what was known as the
glove-ring. The latter consisted of a
heavy band of gold, usually square i'll
design, in which were set q diamond
with ruby or sapphire on either side
of it. The stones were set well down
in the gold and were perfectly flush
with the top, so that man could pull
a glove on over the ring without diff
Guilty
Perhaps the greatest success which
was reached then was when the brace
let appeared as masculine adornment.
The natural result of all this fnery
was that the smaller clerks and cheap
Johns of the town followed the suit of
their leaders, and the market was
flooded with tawdry jewelry. After a
time a good healthy reaction set in
and men went back to the ring which
they always return to-"
"What is that?"
cit is the old signet ring. l am
more or less familiar with the history
of jewels, and it has struck me often
that this ring, which monarchs of two
hundred years ago wore on the first
finger of their right hands usually, is
the only one which has staple place
IN the affections of mankind. Not only
do men return to it after they have
been led astray by gaudy diamonds,
and the like, but it is very often the
case that the best dressed of those who
are the most exquisite about their jew
elry give up all sorts of precious stones
when they become fOrty-fve or fifty
years of age and settle down to the
plain signet ring on the third finger of
their left hand. Jewellers Gazette.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
THE FAMILY VALENTINE.

A pair Of dark eyes that are merry and bright,
saucv young nose just below,
And under the nose sweet pair OF red lips,
And two oval cheeks all aglow
With health, and with color that m0cks the
wild rose,
And soft little, dear little chin,
And hair like a cobweb of finest spun silk
When the sunshine is fast woven in.
The one daring girl OF mamma and papa.
The one daring sister OF boys,
Who tease her, and love her. and make her to
share
In all of their SORROWS and joys.
The one girLie- -grandchild of grandma so dear,
And grandpa so jolly and kind,
The one little niece of her aunties, who own
That to all of her yfd4yts they are blind.
Oh, do you not think she's an enviable lass?
The dear little maiden so sweet?
Who rules all the household, and fills every
heart
With the grace of her childhood complete?
When Valentines day comes around, no one
asks
pray, who will my Valentine bc?'
The choice of the fanily centers in on,
AS any can easily sec.
Love-letters from mother. from fither as well
Love-etters from brothers beside,
Love-lettcrS from grandpa, ana grandmemm2,
too,
And from aunties, and all OF them tied
With the da ntiest of ribbons in red white and
blue,
There's strength in the "7i07, they say).
Oh, how does she manage to read them all
through
Those billets of Valentines dayf
But who is haP Valentine, ask you? dear me.

the Spaniard went over his head. A
dull thud followed, and the next in
stant the Spaniard lay in the water,
floating away without movement.
A wild shout went up that rent the
very heavens. Casper still kept his
log. His rival was in the water, and
the victory was his, but amid it all a
strange feeling visited the young cham
pion. He realized what had happened,
if the others did not. The Spaniard' S
attempt to win victory by foul means
had cost him dear. His head had come
in contact with boomstick that held
the logs in place. Senseless, the treach-
erous man was floating away to his
doom. One glance was sufficient to
satisfy Casper Fall of the truth. He
plunged into the water, and, seizing
his rivals hair, dragged him to the
boom and called for help. This was
granted, and when the silent form of
Manuel Carr was laid dripping on the
shore, naked dagger was found
clutched in his right hand. Great was
the commotion that now ensued. After
the first shout went up over Casper
Falls victory the settlers gathered
about the PROSTATE form of the Span
lard.
''His skull is crushed-he is dead!''
declared Colonel Given, in solemn
tones, as he made an examination.
The Colonel spoke truly. Manuel
Carr was dead. The dagger in his
stiffened fingers was revelation of
his terrible purpose to win the contest,
even at the expense of his rivals life.
Dark looks W ere now cast upon Mr..
Cotton, who essayed to explain.
Il knew Manuel Carr had served a
term in the penitentiary," he said,
''but had no thought that he would
murder man if he could not fairly
beat him."
Nevertheless, the Chicago man was
frowned upon, and he found it conven-
lent to leave Crosscut at an early hour.
1t was a sad termination to the days
festivities and proved to be the last log
rolling contest in that region.
AS for Nell Given, the incident quite
sObered her. She admitted that she
had firted with Mr.. Cotton, but it was
Casper she loved, and in good time
the two were made one. Casper Fall
has proved the stuff that is in him by
forging to the front as a successful
lumberman. Colonel Given is proud
of his son-in-law.- M. Merrill, in

Danny Was Turned Loose.

About midnight the other night a
patrolman on Champlain street was
halted by woman, living around the
corner, who informed him that a
burglar was trying to effect an en-
trance by the back door. The officer
summoned help and proceeded to the
spot. Sure enough, a man was at
work at the rear of the house, and
while he was prying up window the
officers made a dash and collared him.
81 amt no burglar" he vigorously
protested as he was dragged along.
Don't let him get awayn' shouted
the woman from a chamber window,
and the officers took good care that he
didn't.
Next morning the woman appeared
at police headquarters and said:
Il guess Danny has been punished
enough, and you may let him 60"

geant.
'My husband. | warned him to be
home by ten o'clock. He didn't come
till midnight. Then 1 had the doors

Danny was allowed TO go, but that
jokeful wife got a piece OF advice
which kept her hair on end for two

A FORTUNE IN OIL.
How a Poor Irish Day-Laborer Became q

Persons who imagine the members
of the Standard Oil Company are the
only men who acquire more than ordi-
nary riches in the oil business are not
acquainted with the facts. The oil
country is full of men who have be-
come wealthy in the oil business, and
never had any connection whatever
with the big Standard. John Nc
Keown, of Washington, Pa, is reputed
to be the wealthiest oil producer, and
his figure is placed at $S,000,000 al
though it is likely to be much more
than this. Mr.. McKeown is native
of Ireland, and began his career in this
country in the oil regions, coming
directly from Castle Garden to the
Pennsylvania oil regions during the
early excitement on Oil creek, about
1864. He was entirely without
means, and began as a day la
borer, working for 81 day,
handling a pick and shovel for a man
who had contracts for grading oil-well
derricks and tank seats. He soon be-
