Golden Glory.

Time, the magician of the age, is at work

great, whirling globe, which is his laboratory.
the breezes like snowy cloud remnants in the
sky. From his right hand drift and float
back the departing glories of the summer. In
his left hand is the first sparkling, glistening
forerunner of winter.
Behold With mysterious gestures the
wr;nkled hands approach nearer together
Now they spread above the essrth as in bene-
diction, and again draw near together. Hist!
The winter and summer meet In the
alchemy of nature this is glorious combine
ton. A thousand flaming dyes stain the
foliage. The hills are crowned with glory
and the valleys are riotous in rainbow hues.
Green fields turn to gold. Orchards cast off
their verdapt mantels and expose their treas
pres of cleaning fruit. The husbandman
goes forth in the crisp dawn and returns in
the mellow twilight laden with the ripe prod
ucts of his industry. 1t is the time Of harvest
and busy content.
The clear air is alive with showers of gilt
tering leaves and the foot rustles in glowing
drifts which have been builded by the soft
winds. A sense of calm happiness and peace

Chinese Wisdom.

Forbearance is attended with profit
The straightest trees are the first felled.
Life is a journey, and death a return home
Causeless anger resembles waves without
wind.
1t is better to suffer an injury than to COM
NIT one
The loftiest building arises from small ac-
cretions
A discontented man is like a sake who
would swallow an elephant.
To prosecute the unfortunate is like throw
ing stones on one fallen into a well
If men will have no care for the future
they will soon have sorrow for the past
Kind feeling may be paid with kind feel
ing, but debts must be paid with hard cash.
Hear both sides and all will be clear; hear
but one and you will still be in the dark
While silent consider your own faults, and
while speaking spare those Of others.
The house wherein learning abounds will
rise; that in which pleasure prevails will fall
Those above should not Cypress those be-
low, nor those below encroach on those above
The people are the roots of the state; if the
roots are fourishing the state will endure.
The wisest must in a thousand times be
once mistaken; the most foolish in a thousand
times must be once right.
To be fully fed and warmly clothed, and to
dwell at ease, without learning, is little better
than bestial state.
When paths are constantly trodden they
are kept clean, but when abandoned the
weeds choke them up; so weeds choke the mind
in the absence of employment. - Chicago

The more highly developed the brain,
the more unstable probably is its
equilibrium. Every brain worker may
convince himself OF this BY rejecting
how sound and unbroken was the sleep

provocation- But of all tie ills for
which drugs should not be resorted &c

which restores the brain TO normal

viii have no difficulty in selecting a
spot for sinking its shaft. It begins
e1cavating by nipping Oft fragments
Of the soil with its jaws, which, in
stead of projecting straight forward or
sloping down from the head, as is al
most universally the case, slant up
wards, rising thus above the level OF
the margins of the concave head sur
face. As the burrow deepens, diff
Guilty arises as to the disposal of the
PARTICLES Of soil removed Then it is
that the object OF the peculiar struc-
ture OF the head becomes apparent.
While the animal is working with its
head down in its burrow and its body
projecting above, the fragments of
sand and earth, as removed by the up
ward sloping jaws, fall onto the con
cave surface of the head, which is
thrown back till it is at right angles
to the body, to receive them as in
shovel or saucer A load having been
thus obtained, the grub backs out of
its hole by means of its legs, carrying
its little saucerful of earth with it
These operations are repeated till the
burrow Is OF sufficient depth, the ami
NAL always working with its head
downwards. When, however, the
shaft is completed, the grub re-
verses its position, and drops into the
hole with its head upwards. 1t can
then work its way up and down this
vertical shaft, much in the same way
as the chimney sweepers' boys used to
climb chimneys, using legs and hooks
on the eighth segment to g i've it pur-
chase against the sides of the burrow.

A poorly clad woman holding q baby ON

.rface car yesterday and looked about her
II seat The baby held in its chubby fist
big silver dollar, and as the baby was chew

ooking for q seat every woman in the car
new instantly that the baby was teething
IS mother got seat finally, and the passen-
ers got interested In the baby and the silver
lollar. For a minute nearly the whole of the
DIN was in the habys mouth, when sudden
V, with gasp and with watering eyes, the
,udgy fist pulled out the dollar from the
puckery oriice and waved the money reck-
!essly in the face of an elderly lady along
side
This performance was repeated again and
again, and when the elderly lady seemed
about to make some demonstration of disap-
proval the baby's arm waved toward tho
window and the silver dollar dropped from
it's fingers into the space between the car
window and the seat and struck the floor Of
the car with PUNK. Under the front of the
long seat the space was boarded up and the
coin could not be reached
"Oh, baby" said the mother, with her
voice in tremble.
ou'd better go to the end OF the line,
mum, to get your money" said the conduc-
tor. The woman said she had to get off with
in block to get a washing. Several men
who had been listening Strengthened them
selws out and began to work their hands
down into their trousers pockets, and one
man whispered to another that collection
should be- taken up
Finally the conductor said if the passen-
gers didn't mind disturbing themselves he
would get the money. So everybody sitting
on the side Of the car where the dollar was
lost got up, and the conductor pulled out the
entire seat, reached behind it, got the coin,
gave it to the mother, and, after good deal
of difficulty with the sea-, pushed it back,
and the passengers sat down.
The mother said thank you, as she passed
out of the car, and the baby grabbed the dol
lar and was biting it for business when she
