How to Keep Your Friends.

y girl 1 know said: Pm a great
one for making friends.'' 1t sounded
as if she ought to be very happy, but
when l had a minute 10 think l won.
dered If she were good at keeping them.
Making friends is easy TO the girl who
Is bright and happy, whose society gives
pleasure and who is genial But the
keeping of them demands more than
this.
If you want to keep a friend, don I
get too intimate with her.
Have your own thoughts, and permit
her to have hers
Do not demand too much OF her in
the way of confidence
And do not be too aggressive, want
ing to know why she hasn't done this,
and why she don't think as you do.
If you think your friends style of
dress Is not beautiful, don't tell ler;
you only offend her, because deep in heI
heart she is convinced that she knows a
great deal more about il than you do.
Do not find fault with your friend :
friend, and do not expect to be the
only one given a corner in her heart.
BE as considerate of her feelings as i!
she were a stranger, and rememEe.
that politenesS is an every day gar
ment, and not one intended only for
high-days and holidays. To sum it VI
in one sentence, preserve the courtesy
of the beginning if you wish 10 keer
YOUR friendship TO the end.

PRESIDENT HARRISON, who was
himself volunteer soldier, recently
appointed three other volunteers to
high place, General Lewis ~ Grant,
appointed Assistant Secretary of War,
was the old commander OF the Yer
mont Brigade, and won the rank OF
Major General OF volunteers, though
his name was overshadowed by that Of
the commander OF the army. Briga-
der General Miles was also a volunteer
during the war who attained high rank,
and has since been prominent officer
in the regular army. lie has been pro-
NOTED 20 the rank Of Major General.
Colonel Benjamin ii. Grierson was a
cavalry officer during the war, and be-
came Colonel Of the Tenth Cavalry at
the close of the struggle. lie is now
promoted TO be Brigadier General.
Generals Miles and Grierson were both
in the line Of promotion, so there IS no
room for complaints from the graduates
Of the Military Academy at West
Point. The list OF war heroes IS rap
idly running out, and the future Cen
era's must be men of much less dis
tinctiOn on the field of battle.

HUMAN NATURE.
Weak Sides OF Mankind Revealed In
Many Habits and Movements.

Listening to some people tell a story
is equal TO judging view by what you
can see through dusty window.
Some people think that they pay a
debt by telling their creditors every other
day that they have not forgotten that
they owe it.
Extend sympathy TO some people and
they begin TO cough all the more
loudly, to show how bad their are.
Let tom rrow take care OF itself,
and you will find that il will let you
take care of yourself when it gets here.
Many girls get married because their
folks are not able to keep them, and
find their husbands II the same fix.
1t Is hard for a woman to please. III
she makes apple pie her husband asks
for lemon; II she makes pudding the
children cry for pie. II she bakes her
potatoes to suit the children her hus
band will not eat them. a woman WHO
has to cook to suit five or six appetItes
has hard time OF 1t.
The smaller the deposit a man has in
the bank the oftener he walks by TO see
If the banks doors are still OPEN
Every man believes that, though he
can count those he likes ON one hand,
it would take both hands To count those
who like him.
You see my mistake; see yours.

Always Get the Light from the Lett

Americans are great readers, and
hosts of them SPEND their evenings al
home eugrlssed in the work of some
fayOrite author, or IN many cases with
periodicals of every description. Gen
orally this occupation Is persued in a
rrcumbent position and without any re-
gard to lights and shadows, and the
reader is continually complaining OF
dull pains IN the head and loss of vi
sion. This can be remedied in a SIM
pie manner by holding the book or
magazine in such position that the
Ii ht from the gas or lamps Will fall
over the left shoulder, and there will be
no further cause of complaint by bad
eyes or sick headaches by readers. Ar
plying the rule on wet, dark nights
when crossing the streets it will be
found that hidden pools of water Will
be revealed and the pedestrians jour
ney made much more eudurable and
with less pTovocation iOr swearing.

Referring to the poem of "Sheridan's

ever met the author.
Yes" he replied, ~ knew him
well. l first met hin before the battle
OF Stone River. lie was a guest at the
headquarters of General Rosencrans,
and staid with Us good whiie.'
'Do you know how he happened to
wIite it?''
Yes. l have heard him tell about it
a great many times. There are num-
ter OF stories floating around, bit I'll
give you the true one, as Read told it
TO me. James L. Murdock suggested
tie idCa.''
"Murdock, the elocutionist?r
"Yes; he was an actor at one Of tie
Cincinnati theatres at the time, and a
great friend of mine. He lost d son at
the battle of Missionary Ridge-Mur-
dock did and came down here to get
the body. The enemy occupied the
place where the body was buried, and
the old man remained there a guest at
my headquarters. He used to ride the
lines with me, and always used the
black horse 'Rienzi,' that was after
wards called Winchester and became
very fond of him. Things were very
exciting down there, and Murdock saw
a good deal Of war. Sundays he always
read and recited poems 10 the troops
around headquarters, and there was
one poem of Browning's that was al
ways called for. 1t was a great favor
ite with the soldiers and with me, and
we never let him off without reciting
1t. 1t was the ride from Client to AK
you remember it. Well, after the
battle OF CeJar Creek there was pub
lished in Harper'S Weekly story of my
ride from Winchester, and a picture of
me on the black horse RienZi. Muir
dock saw it and took it up TO Read,
suggesting that it was good theme for
a poem. Murdock had just seen an
officer who was there, and gave him a
description of the affair, and Read
jumped at the idea. He shut himself
up in his room, wrote the poem that
afternoon, had his wife make a copy,
and sent it over to MurdOc> S house as
soon as it was done, to see how he liked
1t. huTdOck was very much pleased,
and that nigat read the poem between

ONE might suppose that in the
boundless West ground would lie cheap
enough to make it unnecessary to erect
high buildings, but nowhere in the
country are tall structures more popu-
lar than in such cities As st. Paul and
Minneapolis. The City Council Of Min
neapolis recently passed an ordinance
prohibiting the erection in that city OF
any bul ding over 100 feet high, and a
strong protest has gone up from the
architects against such interference
with their plans. There are only three
buildings in the city which exceed that
limit, but they are handsome structures,
and pay their owners a good return on
the investments mace. Real estate
dealers are said TO favor the ordinance,
because it will require more ground to
build upon for given amount OF Office
accommodation, but architects say that
the limitation is absurd, and will greatly
Interfere with contemplated building

and to have had the right kind Of help
meet. Tons OF rock having fallen on

sent her up the track in her night
clothes to flag an express train, while
he and his daughter tried to stop a
freight train coming in the other direc-
ton. The express was saved by the
wife, and, though the freight could not

Emperor Williams Proper Title.

There was a strange blunder in the

the par OF the Minister, and 1 hear
that it has greatly annoyed her Majesty,
who, like all Royalties, is a rigid marli
net on all trifling questions Of style,
precedence or etiquette. The
error III question is in the sixth
paragraph, where the Empe-

of Germany" whereas his title is Ger
man emperor, and experts in such
matters will tell you that there is vast
difference between the two styles.

The Census Counters.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August H.
The chiefs of the population division
of the census office celebrated the
completion of the count of the popula-
ton of the United States by little
dinner last night. Superintendent
Porter, in expressing his congratula-
ton upon the rapid and accurate COM
pletion OF this great work, said that
beginning with two or three thou
sand families, or 10000 and $1,000
persons per day, the operators
progressed in deXterity until last
Thursday no less than forty
three counted over 10000 families, or
SO, 900 persons each. One young lady
reached the astonishing total of 49,
OIL families, or about $4,000 persons.
On that day not only the highest av-
erages were reached, but the greatest
number was counted, the reports
showing 1912, 3lS families, or GIL ,l59
persons. This presents an average of
S,135 families, or 1865 persons per
clerk. "In this connection L think
it my duty to say that in
the general average the male
clerks, man like, hear some of the
young women whisper and seek ref
uge behind the petticoats of the gent
Ter sex. The average names counted
by the women clerks was $3.50 fami-
lies, or AZ $50 persons, and by the men
clerks 6,5S7 families, 92,935 persons.
Thus it will be seen that the women
average nearly one-half more than the
men. 1t is also worth noting that of
the forty-three of those who counted
more that 10000, thirty-eight were
women and only five men. The facts,
and indeed the record of the entire
SIX weeks, show that women are bet
ter adapted for this particular work
than men. They are more exact in
touch, more expeditions in handling
schedules, more at home in adj
justing the delicate mechanism of the
machine and apparently more ambi-
tious to make a good record. Esti-
mating the population of the civilized
world at Coo, 700, 900, we could count it
in 100 days, while the bright young
women and sturdy young men of our
population division could run through
the entire people of the earth, which,
including Asiatics and savages, is es-
timated at 1,30O,OOO,OOO, in less than
200 days.
