MEDIOCRITY IN PARIS.
1t Has Less Chance There Than ANY
where Else in the World.

1t Has Less Chance There Than Any
where Else in the World.
Paris is the chief receptacle of the
veriest scum of the whole earth. All
the Williams who can no longer remain
in their own countries, for they would
have to pay the penalty of their mis-
deeds, come here destitute and desper-
ate, ready for any uproar, hoping for
some profit by fishing in troubled wa
tiers. With these, less dangerous at the
outset, but finally corrupted to any de-
gree. are the disconnected provincials;
men who, through the want of brains
or want of energy or want of steadiness,
have failed in all they have undertaken;
who consider themselves prosecuted
geniuses, only to be appreciated in Par
is, where they come with large stock
of delusions. Any real and striking
talent will make its way in Paris, but
mediocrity has less chance here than
elsewhere. The standard is high, those
who rise above it are quickly noticed
and pushed on; those who remain below
(of course the vast majority can not
even get an opportunity of showing
what they might do-they are swal-
lowed up in the vortex of the struggle
for life.
Consciousness of mediocrity is rare
virtue; people always imagine that they
excel in all that they undertake, and
ascribe their defeat to any cause but the
real one; the more so as they have prob
ably possessed some superiority over
their local surroundings. Hence bitter
ness, fury against all who have sue
ceeded and who enjoy the fruits of their
efforts. Then, the example, still more
perniciously exciting, of the dishonest
prosperity attained by so many, the
luxury of swindlers, great gains by bad
means The last restraints of home
principles-early education, perhaps the
religious teaching of childhood-are
broken through one by one, and we find
men, not bad men originally. but now
frenzied with the desire of holding
prominent position and enjoying the
good things of this world. These are
the men who become the gilded Gen.
erals of the Commune, wearing smart
uniforms and imagining themselves
heroes; who eat, drink and are merry;
living in palaces and dreaming they are
Princes, till when suddenly awakened
to the stern reality, they turn into wild
beasts, with the one surviving instinct
of general destruction, that others may
not have what they have not-Murray's

SCOTCH CAKE LORE.
Superstitions WHICH Mako the House

Superstitions Which Make the House
wife's Duties Portentous.
Cakes in Scotland, we are told, must
always be laid on the trencher right
side uppermost; to serve them the other
way was formerly deemed nothing less
than an insult. The origin of this curl
Gus notion appears to be the tradition
that only to. the traitor who gave Wal
lace up to the English, and to his de.
scendants were cakes served up in this
manner. Hence the proverb: Turn
the hammock with fause Men teith."
Before the new year grand baking
took place in Scotch households and the
gude-wives with their bonnie lasses
were busy connecting ''soor cakes"
''cream cakes" ''facet cakes" ''soft
cakes" and "bannock." Besides
these. a cake was baked for each
member of the family, and from its
behavior during the cooking process
omens were drawn. If the cake broke,
the person for whom it was intended
would die during the ensuing year; if
only small piece broke of, he would
have an illness.
An unwritten law forbade the count
ing of cakes. law that must have
singularly favored the depredations Of
lawless and hungry BARNS. Anyhow,
s'There was nae thrift in coontit cakes,

WORKOUT MOTHERS.
How Many Women Fail and Grow Old Long
Before Their Time.

| Before Their Time.
There are a great many people who
break down in health and spirits and
fall into actual disease when a little
good sense would save them. AS rule,
American women are apt to err on the
SIDE of unselfshness. They are over
conscientious and are apt to under
estimate the value of their own health
to their families, or the tax which they
are making upon it to contribute to the
trivial pleasures of others. Justice to
herself is often the last thing the
American mother considers although
that justice to herself, in the matter of
maintaining her own health and mental
caliber is of the utmost Importance to
her family. No intelligent mother can
underestimate the Importance of her
own presence and work in her house
hold, but it is almost a universal rule
among even the most intelligent and
conscientious to take upon themselves
burdens they are untitled to bear and
to neglect in their own persons those
precautions and safeguards of health
which they so anxiously provide for all
others in the family, but which in their
own persons are of greater necessity
than in that Of any other member of
the family, not even excepting the
bread-winner himself 1t is won
der that women with families
so well maintain such health as
they have, in view of their per-
sistent omission of these precautions,
and it is slight wonder indeed that the
average of three wives are worn out in
an average life of one farmer.
A woman of fifty, like man of fifty,
should be in her prime of life. She
should take keen interest in the world
around her and live in the present, not
in the past, as too many WORKOUT
women do. When her daughters have
arrived at an age when they can take
the burden of her cares off her should
ers, she may yet reign as the queen of
her household, and should have more
time for intellectual pursuits than she
has ever had before. A great many
women fail and grow old and reminis-
cent because they make themselves
drudges and perform duties which it
would be far better for the children to
do themselves. From the excess of
work which SO many mothers take upon
themselves their appetites become
jaded, their compilations pallid, their
nerves unstrung, and in what should be
the prime of life they are old women,
untitled physically and mentally for
even the ordinary work of their posi-.
tions.-N. Y. Tribune.

The diameter of trees varies not

VIII 1t Give Place to the Electric Motor
the Near Future?

ton. 1t already moves passenger cars
over short lines of road, and the way to
move both passenger and freight trains
over long lines has been pointed out by
them. Electricity has accomplished
moro for transportation than steam did
in the same length of time.
In Maine, which has the most
abundant water-power of any State,
there is great excitement over employ
ing it to generate electricity for moving
trains and propeling machinery. It is
thought that cars may be moved on
most of the railroads in the State by
electricity generated by water-power
furnished by the streams and conduct
ed by wires. Most of the roads run near
streams that furnish water-power that
is not now put to use.
1t is also thought that this water
power can generate electricity that
may be employed to run machinery at
distance from falls. Mills built in
the immediate vicinity of rivers and
large streams are always in danger
when the volume of water is unusually
large. or when great quantities of ice
and logs are carried down in the
spring. By using water power to gener-
ate electricity the mills may be built in
places that offer greater security.
During the past few years electricity
has accomplished marvels in producin
light and in transmitting intelligence.
1t has converted vague dreams into
splendid realities. But it has other
worlds to conquer. Its mission will not
be entirely accomplished till it has re-
moved from our railroads the ponder
Gus, noisy and dirty locomotives and
has rendered the stationary engine IN
necessary for moving machinery in
mills and factories. Chicago Herald.

The common lot is one of sorrow

would otherwise BIO a bright existence,
is often Swallowed by some ailment
that overhangs it like pail, obscur-

would light the path. Such an all

nervousness, or in other words, weak

only lrremediable where inefficient or
improper means arc taken to relieve
it. The concurrent experience of ner-
