WORDS OF WISDOM.

THE world is his who can see through
its pretension.
MUCH time is necessary to know peo-
pie thoroughly.
ANGER makes dull men witty but
keeps them poor.
MAN is cold as ice to truth; but hot as
fire to falsehood.
Coon fortune seldom comes pure and
single, unattended by some troublesome
or unexpected circumstance
In art, oratory, music, mere loudness
or demonstration is not sign OF
strength; it is rather proof of weakness.
A PoMPoUs man, when he smiles at a
lest, takes moro credit TO himself for
his appreciation of tho joke than he al
lows to the wit for uttering it.
THE living get credit for what they
might be quite as much as for what
they are. Posterity judges man by
the best rather than the average of his
attainment
WHEN we have reached middle life we
say of ourselves, if only we had our
lives to live over again. The wish is an
idle one, but it is left us TO make good
use of the years that remain to US.
Whether many or few, they may be hon
OIable,

A SPENDTHRIFTS END.
After Squandering Half a Million He Die
in n POor-House,

After Squandering Half a Million He Dies
| in POor-House.
John Eagan, a second "Coal-oil John
n.y." and an individual of many eccen-
tricities, died at the Hillside poor-house
not long ago. Eagan was the only son
of Patrick Eagan, who located in the
Lackawanna valley forty years ago.
The father bought forty-acre farm,
which afterward turned out to be
mint. There was coal underneath, and
one day Eagan received an offer of $780,
900, which he accepted. He did not live
long to enjoy his fortune, however. The
next year he died and his great wealth
reverted to his son. The latter was
brought up Woodworking boy on the
farm, and his sudden acquisition OF
fortune evidently turned his head, as he
took to drinking and carousing and
spending money in a reckless manner.
He thought nothing of spending $500 IN
an evenings enjoyment among friends
and boon companions, which he had IN
plenty at that time. Many stories were
told of his queer escapades. One OF
them was of his riding down Lacka'
wanna avenue, Scranton, one summer
night about ten years ago. He was go
ing along leisurely playing on the viO-
lin, on which he was an adept, until he
esped the open door of a saloon. He
drove his horse through the opening into
the bar-room, still playing on his favor
tie instrument. He ordered drinks for
the whole crowd, wheeled about and
drove out again. This is only one OF
the queer and amusing actions OF this
poor unfortunate, who squandered
enough money to keep him
self and friends living in af-
fuence for the remainder OF
their lives One day he went out in the
country and gave farmer 81, 900 to set
fire to his barn. He said he wanted to
see the hay and straw burn. On another
occasion he gave 500 to Ted McNulty to
let him punch him in the eyes until they
we're black. One Fourth of July he got
tired waiting for regular train to carry
him twenty-eight miles. He paid the
railroad management $500 for special
train to carry him to his destination.
When the Mollie McGuires were con-
demned to the gallows Eagan went to
Harrisburg with a certified check for
500, 900 and offered it to Governor Hart
ranft if he would pardon the Mollies.
He had two locomotives built at ma
chine shop and had them shipped to his
farm. He built a track 300 feet long,
and after both engines got up good
head of steam he caused the two throt-
ties to be opened. The two engines
came together with a great crash.
Eagan said the sight of seeing them
come together was worth what they cost
The locomotives were of no use after
wards. When his money was all gone
Eagan was a pitiable sight. His clothes
were ragged and no shoes adorned his
feet. No one recognized him, despite
the fact that in his days of prosperity
he helped many poor family in their
struggle with the world. His remains
now repose in the little plot of ground
back of the poor house without any mark
or sign to tell who slumbers in the
newl y-made grave.-Wilkesbarre pal

DELICIOUS BREAD.
How the Staff of Life Is Made by the
Bakers of Southern Spain.

The bread in the south of Spain is de-
licious; it is as white as snow, close as
cake, and yet very light; the flour is
the most admirable, for the wheat is
good and pure, and the bread well
k;leaded. The way they make this
bread is as follows: From large, long
panniers filed with wheat they take
out handful at a time; sorting it
most carefully and expeditiOusly,
and throwing every defective grain
into another basket. This done, the
wheat is ground between two circu-
lar stones, as it was ground in Egypt
two thousand years ago, the requisite
rotary motion being given by blind
folded mule, which passes around and
around with untiring patience, bell
being attached to his neck which, as
long as he is in movement, tinkles on,
and when it stops he is urged to his duty
by the shout of Gar mula" from some
one within hearing. When ground, the
wheat is sifted through three sleeves,
the last one of these being so fine that
only the pure flour can pass through it;
this is of pale apricot color. The bread
is made in the evening. 1t is mixed
with sufficient water, with little salt
in it, to make into dough; a very
small quantity of leaven or yeast
in one batch of household bread,
as in Spain, would last a week for
the six or eight donkey loads of
bread they send every day from their
oven. The dough made, it is put into
sacks and carried on the donkey'S back
to the oven in the centre of the village,
to bake it Immediately after kneading.
On arriving there the dough is divided
into portions weighing three pounds
each. Two long, narrow wooden tables
on trestles are then placed down the
room, and curious sight may be seen.
About twenty men, bakers, come in
and range themselves on one side of the
table. A lump of dough is handed to
the nearest, which he begins kneading
and knocking about with all his might
for about three or four minutes, and
then passes it on to his next neighbor,
who does the same, and so on success
lively until all have kneaded it, when it
becomes as soft as new putty and ready
for the oven. Of course, as soon as the
first baker has handed the first lump
over to his neighbor, another lump is
handed him, and so on until the whole
quantity of dough is kneaded by them
all. The bakers wives and daughters
shape the loaves for the oven, and some
of them are very small. They are baked

Uncomfortable People.

We all know them; they are in every
community, in every church, in many
families. They are always uncomfort-
able themselves, and they inf1ict dis
comfort on every body else. A really
aggressive and well-developed specimen
will overshadow a locality like a BAN
yan-tree, yielding the whole year
through all manner of fruit bitter to
the taste, and not to be digested with
out serious injury. These people supply
an ample stock of friction; they bring
out the latent possibilities of general
unpleasantness in large or small
circle; they sow seeds of discord, not
only in the fallow ground. but by the
wayside, and are followed by abundant
harvests of the kind that are sown with
JOY but reaped with tears.-N. Y. Led

UNCLE SANS MONEY.
The Largest Greenback, and Good Excuse
For Not Having One.

The Largest Greenback, and Good Excuse
For Not Having One.
How many people know how much
there is in this country of what people
call money" how much in gold and
silver coin, and how much in green
backs and other paper currency bearing
the stamp of the United States Govern
ment? Very few. Inquiry at the
Treasury Department discovers the fact
that there is, all told, just little over
two billions, or between $50 and $40
apiece for every man, woman and child
in the United States. OF this a little
over one-half is in gold and silver coin,
and little less than one-half is in paper
of various kinds. OF the metal money
about two thirds are in gold, and one
third in silver. OF the paper about one
third is in U. S. notes or greenbacks,
one-forth in silver certificates, one
sixth in gold certificates, One-ffth in
National bank notes, and the remainder
in various denominat' ons-
But the 81, OOO, 900, 900 of United States
currency are not all in circulation.
More than one-third is locked up in the
Treasury b uilding, and that is the nor
NAL state of things. One-half of all
the gold and three-fourths of all the sill
yer is locked up in the Treasury. The
circulating medium in dse among the
people is three-fourths paper, the larg-
est volume being in greenbacks, with
silver cert icates next then National
bank notes, then gold certificates But
we would not be doing gold justice II
we did not say that there was more gold
in circulation than any one kind OF
paper.
What a disproportion between the
amount of wealth and the amount of
money in the United States! All the
money in the country, including what is
locked up in the Treasury, would not be
sufficient to buy the real estate and the
personal property in the city Of Wash

on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb
which is in the midstof the throne shall
feed them and shall lead them unto
living fountains of waters, and God
shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes" Thank God for the glory span
ming the throne!
In our boyhood we had a superstition
that at the foot of the rainbow there
was casket of buried gold; but have
to announce that at the foot of the rain
bow of Heaven there is box made out
of the wood of the cross. Open it and
you will find all the treasures Of Heaven.
You go into the store, and it meets you
at your counting desk; you go into the
street. and it meets you at the corner;
you go into the house, and 1t meets you
at the door. Tears of poverty tears OF
persecution tears of bereavement!-a
deluge of tears! Gathered together
from all the earth, they could float an
ark larger than Noah's.
O, that our eyes may all look upon
this bow of promise, lifted by Christ's
own handi We shall trace the separate
lines of beauty across the armament
In the line of red shall see the blood
of my Lord; in the blue the bruises that
colored His cheek; in the green the
freshness of His grace; in the violet His
humility; in all that curve of beauty
the bend of His right arm of love swung
over all the redeemed.
But mind what told you at the be-
ginning and what tell Tou at the close
that none but Noah's family in the
ark saw the rainbow and that only those
who are at last in Christ shall discover
it and the glories of Heaven.
Except man be born again he can
not see the kingdom of God"

THREE ROSES.

And blent as though an unseen censor swung,
Their mingled perfume " it'll the NOR ming air
Not theirs the fate TO linger till decay
Strewed their sweet-scented petals on the

For ere the close Of that bright summer day
Each sister rose another fate had found.
Twined in the meshes Of a beauty's hair
One blossom faded slowly, hour by hour,
Until at parting some one in despair
AS memento craVed the withered flower.

Who pluckedi its leaves, and as they hutter-

I felt my face bathed with water, and
1 opened my eyes to see the lady and
gentleman bending over me, the lady
holding the silver cup which had been
sketching only short time before.
After little, felt able to sit up and
look about me. There lay my sketch
book with all the sketches fallen out
and spread around to view, no less than
seven of them representing these two
people too accurately to be unrecog-
nized, and the gentleman was slowly
gathering them up The sight restored
me, and l rose up with nervous laugh.
He finished, and, turning toward me,
said:
when you are sufficiently recovered,
we will assist you to get down from
here's" and then, as he pointed to the
sketches: "You must have spent great
deal of time over US, and you have rath-
err battered US, think"
This interested the lady, and she
begged permission to examine them for
herself. 1 could not refuse, and 1 sat
down and leaned back against the rocky
wall, while they looked them over to-
gether. The lady was greatly moved.
Tears were in her eyes, and as she re-
placed the last sketch she murmured:
Every one speaks eloquently of love"
Love true and exalted" added the
gentleman.
THE landlord called you two lovers"
began, alphabetically.
1--WE are two lovers" said he with
emphasis.
Why was this SO remarkable? Why
were these two lovers so fascinating to
me, and why had they the wondrous
power to restore my faith in real and
disinterested human love?
They had been married fifteen years!

FRIDAY FINDS CRUSOE.
Strange Meeting Between n Wild Man and
His Master.

Strange Meeting Between n Wild Man and
His Master.
A strange scene occurred the other
day in one of the booths at Paris fair.
The great attraction was an uncivil-
lied individual described as bona fide
savage of extraordinary ferocity."
This parsonage, who rejoices in the
name of ''Colo," was squatting in cage
provided with strong bars and bolts, and
the inhabitants of the Western town
were streaming into the booth to con-
template his visage and acquaint them
selves with his manners and habits
when his stern gaze was suddenly seen
to relax.
Tears soon flowed down his sable
cheeks, and, sobbing violently, he
rushed to the door of his cage, and,
pushing back the bolt, threw his arms
round a gentleman who had just walked
in. At first it was imagined that this
Child of Nature" had taken leave of
his senses, and the spectators started
back in fear and trembling, expecting
every moment to see the stern wild man
throttle the person he had singled out
from among the company for his atten-
tiOnS.
Soon, however, their apprehensions
were dispelled, for the gentleman was
also noticed to betray symptoms of emo
ton. 1t turned out that Colo had
been in his service for some time in
Martinique, and that four years ago he
had come to France in search of his
master, to whom he was much attached.
The faithful creature had proceeded
from one town to the other exhibiting
himself at fairs with this one object al
ways in view
His master was so much touched at
this proof of affection that then and
there he took Colo" once more into his
aervice Paris Letter.
