It Don't Always Pay.

1t is not always, perhaps not often,
that an important discovery particular
ly benefits the discoverer. The open
ing of the diamond fields OF South
Africa, from which $1,000, 900, 600
worth OF diamonds was taken, was due
to the pertinacity OF man named
O'Reilly, who was trader among the
natives and first conceived the idea
that the country was rich in diamonds
and gold. OReilly himself did not 60
to the diggings and did not profit by
them. On the contrary, the rush to tho
diamond fields ruined his trade with the
natives, and a South African CORE,
spondent says that he is now working
for his living. There is probably a
moral In this story II we could only
get at 1t.

In University place. the other day.
a boy picked up sparrow which was
unable to fly from having daubed its
wings with fresh paint from some cor
nice. He was carrying it away in his
hand when a poorly dressed man, who
was warming his back in the autumn
sun, held out his hand and ask ed for it.
The bird was passed over, and the man
took very ragged handkerchief from
his pocket, and began wiping at the
paint, saying, as he did so:
That's the way OF the world-go for
a Teller when he's down. Fifty would
wiring your neck where one would give
you a show"
He wiped aw y for minute or two,
and then continued:
"If somebody would give me an en-
couraging word and half show
could be man yet; but somebody
won't do it. IT'S easier to kick a man
down hill than to boost him up. There,
young chap. your wings are all right
now. Go and be happy. Next time
your nose smells fresh paint you shy
off,"
He gave the bird toss, and it flew
to the naked limb Of one of the elms
and then turned about and cried:
Peek! peekn as il in gratitude.
"All right! All rightm replied the
man, with wave OF the HAND. per

the Emperor OF Russia has had this
honor, but Prince Christian, as was
discovered during the Cars recent

THE IRONING MoyEMENT.

paratus, which the originators say is
equally well adapted for home and
gymnasium use, and which is warranted
TO cure us many ills as any patent
medicine. thas been given numerous
tests in the best gymnasiums, aud has
been pronounced a great success. 1t
seems to have been specially invented
for fat men, as its objects are the cure Of
ills that fat men most complain OF. The
machine consists OF bunch OF big
round wooden balls which are fastened
by a rod TO a standard that is placed
against wall. Inside the rod is
spiral spring which works automatical-
ly. Any fat man who wishes to reduce
his ponderous front has simply to lean
against the group OF balls when the
spring contracts and. in SO doing, turns
the wooden balls on the fat mans
stomach. The frequent use of this
machine is sure TO reduce any one with
an overgrown stomach TO his normal
proportions and will relieve him of a
great many other complaints besides.

a worthy deacon to open meeting
with prayer says the Lewiston

when the good man began his petition

Mortified pastor.
"Huhm calculated the surprised

The preacher repeated the correc-
ton, whereupon the deacon continued
his prayer to great length, and con-
cluded as follows:
Finally, Lord. bless our dedicated
parson. Stuff him with religion as
well as with words; break him OF the
habit OF fault fndin', II possible, and

THE QUARTER CIRCLE


The travelling parallel is another
machine which is constructed mainly
on the pulley-weight plan. II is q new
invention, adapting graduated weights
to the parallel bars. Upon this ma
chine can be executed a great many
OF the most valuable movements OF
The stationary parallel and without any
danger OF injury. The dip" and all
the other feats are possible, and there
is no possibility of straining, as is
sometimes the case where the pupil
has to sustain his own weight. The
travelling parallel is used to teach the
movements of the machine it initiates
before the pupil has acquired any
great amount Of strength. Rowing
machines are about as numerous in
gymnasiums as any other kind and are
OF great benefit. They are furnished
with sliding seats, and present all the
movements that are required in actual
rowing. The rowing machine
strengthens the back and stom-
ach, increases the capacity Of the
lungs and furnishes, more than any,
thing else, a hearty general exercise.
The quarter circle" a comparative
ly new piece OF gymnasium apparatus,
is rapidly growing into general use.
1t consists OF curved board attached
to pair OF standards with pully-weight
attachment. The board is now so made
that the circle may be graduated for
the accommodation OF the person using
it or for the amount of exertion he
wishes to use. The use OF the machine
strengthens the shoulders, the small of
the back and abdomen and elevates
and spreads the ribs. 1t affords most
useful exercise and is recommended by
physicians in strengthening the spinal
curvature. The use Of all the different
kinds OF pulleys has most healthful
effect. They are inexpensive and
occupy but little room and are quite rs
we'll adapted for the house as for the
gymnasium.
