Know Something.

DR.. Holmes says well-educated
man is one who knows everything
about something and something about
everything The wise doctor does
we'll to put this in the order he does ;
for the man who begins at one thing
and learns all about it, before he tries
to master anything else, is the man
of power and consequence in this
world, while the one who dabbles a
little in everything gets left far be-
hind in the race. Mr.. Burdette puts
the idea very neatly in the following
paragraph:
"Mr. Vanderbilt pays his cook
$4,000 a year, my boy, which is a
great deal more than you or / can
earn, or at least it is a great deal
more than we get, because he is q
cook. That is all. Presumably be-
cause he can cook better than any
other man in America. That is all.
If Mons. Sauceangravi could cook
tolerably well and shoot little, and
speak three languages tolerably well,
and keep books fairly, and could
sing some, and could preach fail
sort of a sermon, and knew some
thing about horses, and could tele-
graph little, and could do light
porter's work, and could read proof
tolerablv, could do plain house and
sign painting, and could help on a
threshing machine, and knew enough
law to practice in the justices court
in Kickapoo township, and had once
run for the legislature, and knew
how to weigh hay, he wouldn't get
$40, 700 year for it. He gets that
just becaure he knows how to cook.
and it wouldn't make a cents differ
ence in his salary if he thought the
world was fat, and invent round its
orbits on wheels. There is nothing
like knowing your business clear
through, my boy, whether you know
ANYTHING else or not"

Good Byes.

Every now and then, as we journey
through this vale from the cradle to
the grave, it becomes necessary for
us to say goodbye. Generally it is
said with sadness and with sigh.
We wiring the hand of the departing
| friend, the sorrowful tears are shed,
then the bell rings and the train goes
around the curve. This is the good
bye that sticks in the throat like a
three-cornered lump and persistently
refuses to be swallowed. After this
kind of farewell we 60 home feeling
that something has gone out of life.
We are like the man who puts his
foot for another step at the top of
the dark stairway and finds suddenly
it isn't there.
Then there is the farewell that is
said with hilarious chuckle of joy.
We say it to the bill-collector, whom
we have always with us or have
had for a long time. We say it
to the bore, the spring poet, to the
man who reads the exchanges and to
the writer who invariably refers to a
bear as bruin.
We say it hurridly and with a ris-
ing infection to the book-agent, male
and female. We say it to the man
who tells us the funny story the nine
hundred and forty-seventh time in
one day. To the impecunious friend
and to the man who is ever loaded
with gratuitous advice. Very often
we yearn for chance to say it long
before the opportunity is presented.
Distinctive are the good-byes of
the dude, the giggling girl and the
gibbering idiot. Deliver us from the
long drawn out farewell of the fe-
male of our species, unless, per-
chance, the said female is young and
fair.
Tha casual goodbye is used more
generally, perhaps, than any other
variety. 1t equals in significance the
how-dye-do of our everyday life and
is about as useful as would be hat
rack in Heaven.
A welcome goodbye is that of the
man who pushes, with difficulty, the
eighteen-caret odor of his breath In
front of him, and who longs to con-
fide in his friends and in the same
category may be listed .the man who
guzzles the red-hot demon, rum.
The sweetest goodbye is that of
the girl at her fathers front gate,
when only you OF l and the girl and
twinkling stars are present. To some
of us it is only memory that will
remain fresh and green long after we
have passed that callow age.
The saddest goodbye is the one
that is said by the side of an open
grave Richard s. GrdUes.

How the Brownies Missed Their
Thanksgiving Dinner.

Thanksgiving Day was nearing,
And jolly Brownie band
In woodland dense appearing
For turkey dinner planned.
Through the forest softly stealing,
OF a turkey roost in search,
Soon the Brownies, joy revealing,
Came upon crowded perch.
From the place in wild confusion
Fled the birds before the elves,
Who with weapons in profusion
For the fray had armed themselves.
Suddenly, and without warning,
From the fleeing flock appeared
A huge gobbler, brave and scorning,
Who no Brownie rabble feared.
Then ensued a furious battle,
With the turkey gaining ground,
And with swelling wings and waffle
Fiercer growing with each round.
With such vigor warred the gobbler
Soon the elves he put to route;
Then like many warrior nobler
Strobe he grandly all about.
Thus the Brownies, mischief loving,
For the first time met defeat,
And at least for one Thanksgiving
Had no turkey meat to eat.

The Four Winds.

In winter, when the wind hear
/ know the clouds will disappear;
For it's the wind who sweeps the sky
And piles the snow in ridges high.
In spring, when stirs the wind / know
That soon the crocus buds will show;
For tits the wind who bids them wake
And into pretty blossoms break.
In summer, when it softly blows
Soon red / know will be the rose
For tbs the wind to her who speaks,
And brings the bushes to her cheeks.
In autumn, when the wind is up,
l know the acorn's out its cup;
For tits the wind who takes it out
And plants an oak somewhere about.

The Origin of the hot-Tower.

There was once mechanic at
Bristol, England, who had a queer
dream. Watts was his name, and he
was by trade a SHOEMAKER. The
making of the little leaden pellets
was then a slow, laborious, and con-
sequently, costly process. Watts
had to take great bars of lead and
pound them out into sheets of a
thickness about equal to the dame
ter of the shot desired to make.
Then he cut the sheets into little
cubes, which he placed in a revolving
barrel or box until the edges wore
off from the constant friction and the
little cubes became spheroids.
Watts had often racked his brain
trying to devise better scheme, but
in vain. Finally, after an evening
spent with some jolly companions at
the alehouse, he went home and turn
ed into bed. He soon fell into deep
slumber, but the liquor evidently did
not agree with him, for he had bad
dream. He thought he was out again
with the ''boys." They were all try
ing to find their way home when it
began to rain shot. Beautiful glob-
ules of lead, polished and shining,
fell in a torrent and compelled him
and his bibulous companions to draw
their heavy limbs to a place of shell
! ter.
In the morning, when Watts arose
he remembered the dream. He
thought about it all day, and wonder
ed what shape moulten lead would
take in falling distance through the
air. At last, when he could rest no
longer, he carried ladleful of the
hot metal up into the steeple of the
church of st. Mary, of Radcliffe, and
dropped it into the moat below. De-
scending, he took from the bottom
of the shallow pool several handfuls
of perfect shot far superior to any he
had ever seen. Watts fortune was
made, for he conceived the idea of
the shot-tower, which has ever since
been the only means employed in the
manufacture of the little missiles sc
much used in war and sport.
