Wit Of i RovsI inf.a,:

Some time ago an amusing little
anecdote was related about the Ger
man Grown Prince while having q les
son in grammar from his tutor. One
is now being told about the second son
OF the imperial couple, Prince Eitsl
Fritz. The Emperor is exceedingly
strict about his sons behavior at the
table. The other day little Prince
Eitel Fritze, using his fingers instead
of his knife and fork, was corrected
by his father several times to no pur-
pose. At last the Emperor's. patience
was exhausted, and he said: "Chil.
dren who eat with their fingers are
like little dogs who hold their food
with their paws. If you use your fin
gers again you must go under the
table, the proper place for little dogs" :"
The little prince did his utmost not to
forget this time, add used his knife
and fork like man, but all at once
he forgot again and began using his
fingers. March under the table,"
said his father. After a little while
the Emperor. thinking the prince very
quiet. lifted up the table-cloth and
peeped underneath. There sat little
Prince Eitel Fritz undressed. His
father asked him what he meant by
undressing himself. The child an
swered: 'Little dogs don't wear
clothes; they only have skim"

Close Your Month.

eyes"
"And your mouths open good deal
of the time-just as 1t is now-when
you are not talking, laughing or
snoring?"
'I suppose So"
"Well, that is what ails you. Break
yourself of the habit and your throat
will get well. Breathe through your
nose-that is what it is made for.
When you draw the air through your
mouth you receive it with all the dust
and impurities it contains. Professional
runners understand this; they know
they cannot hold out in race unless
they keep their mouths closed. If peo-
pie generally knew how many diseases
of the throat and lungs are brought on
by wrong habits of breathing l think
they would be more cautious. Why,
even horse can't stand it. l wouldn't
buy an animal that kept its mouth
open all the time, nor would any man
who knew anything about horses"

A Remarkable Canal,

The most remarkable canal in the
world is one between Worslcy and St.
Helcn's, in the north of England. It
is sixteen miles long and under ground
from end to end. In Lancashire the
coal mines are very extensive, half the
country being undermined; many years
ago the Duke of Bridgewatcr's mama
gers thought they could save money by
transporting the coal under ground in
stead of on the surface. So the canal
was constructed and the mines con-
nected and drained at the Same time.
Ordinary canal boats nrc used, but the
power is furnished by men. On the
roof of the tunnel-arch are crOss-pieces,
and the men who do the work Of pro-
pulsion lie on their backs on the coal
and push with their feet against the
cross-bars on the roof.

Winning a Fortune.

Cortland IN " Democrat, Maya
Learning that Mr.. Thos. Carly, Of this
village had drawn u 5000 prize in the
Louisiana State Lottery, ut their drawing
on the 18th of April last, the Democrat
despatched u reporter to learn the full par
ticulars. Mr.. Carly keeps restaurant on
Orchard ST. He received the reporter
pleasantly und gave the following history
OF the transaction: Some time during the
latter part OF March, he enclosed 81 la an
envelope and sent IT by U. S. Express to
tho address OF the company at New Or
leans. In due time he received by the
same agency onc-twenticth OF ticket No.
1854. About week after the drawing
he received from New Orleans o list Of the
numbers drawing prizes and found that
the ticket No. 1894 had drawn the second
capital prize Of 100000. He at once sent
the ticket to the company by U. S. Express
and on April 80, Mr. Robert Bushby. the
local agent, handed him the s5,0 900 In cash.
The money will be safely invested and will
serve to keep the wolf from the door for
many day.

Easily Won.

Nothing is more embarrassing to its
possessor than a reputation which he
has not deserved; laurel wreath
awarded by chance becomes absurdly
heavy, and the unfortunate wearer.
though he may long to toss it into the
nearest thicket, is usually unable to
tug it from his brow. When the late
Professor Moses Stuart Phelps was u
student at New Haven, he took walk
one morning with Professor Newton,
who lived in the world of mathematics.
Professor Newton, according to his
usual habit, began the discussion of an
abstruse problem. AS he went deeper
and deeper, Mr.. Phelps mind wander-
cd farther and farther from what was
being said. At last his attention was
recalled by his companion's remark,
(which, you see, gives us a."
sDoes it?" asked Mr.. Phelps, think
ing that in common politeness he ought
to say something.
"Why, doesn't it?" excitedly ex-
claimed the professor, alarmed at the
possibility that flaw had been detect
ed in his calculations.
Quickly his mind ran back over his
work. There had been mistake.
"You are right, Mr.. Phelps; you
are rightl" he shouted. "It doesn't
give us e, it gives us y."
From that hour he looked upon Mr..
Phelps as mathematical prodigy.
He was the first man who had ever
caught the professor mapping.
"And So" Mr.. Phelps used often to
add, in telling the story, "I achieved q
reputation for knowing thing 1 hate.
1t is the way many regulations are
made in this superficial world.'

Protec. the System from Malaria.

1t is possible to do this even in regions
of country where miasma is most rife, and
where the periodic fcvers which it causes
assume their most formidable types. The
immense popularity of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is very largely attributable 70 tho
fact of its efficacy US a remedy for chills
and fever. bilious reinittents, and Us a pre-
ventive OF the various forms Of malarial
disease. In those portions Of the West
and South where complaints OF this nature
prevail, and in the Tropics, It is particu
larly esteemed for the protective influence
which 1t exerts: and it has been very wide
ly adopted as substitute for the danger
Gus and comparatively ineffective alkaioid,
sulphate of quinine. Physicians nave not
been among the last TO concede its merits,
and the emphatic professional indorse-
ments which it has received have added TO
the reputation it has obtained at home and

on that point-I am widow"
It was unquestionably shock, but
Mr.. Plnkleberry stood it bravely.
tsNo matter for that" he said; "I
am widower."
"Mr. Pinkleberry, you once said
and not long ago, either-that all
widows should be burned on fnneral
pyre."
Mr.. Pinkleberry looked confused for
a moment. Then bright idea sud-
denly struck him.
ssBut did l never hear you say that
the death penalty ought to be passed
ON all unmarried men?"
1t came to the widows turn to be
nonplussed, and she was really en-
bairassed. Recovering herself with
something of struggle, she said:
"Before had ever seen you l made o
vow that ! would exert all my en-
deavors to lead you on until you made
an offer of yourself to me, and that
then would ignominiously reject you.
l wanted to prove to you that widows
were not the worst of their sex-that
wealth was not bait to catch a
heart-and that must be wooed and
won with love alone. Knowing all
this, dare you love mc!"
'I do, and"
tI made VOW to reject you and I
must keep it."
'sMay suggest compromise,
Violet ?''
"Violet? You presume; sir. Re-
member, 1 am widow"
''I must forget the widow and re-
member Violet. My compromise
would be that you reject the man who
stood before you on the day we first
met end accept the man in whose
heart you have renewed the image and
superscription of his Maker"
The witching widow was silent for
a long minute, then she turned with
wet eyelids, placed her hand in his and
said softly, 81 will"

'uLoCKSLEY HALL"
How 1t Mirrored the Hopes and Aspira-
-.sx--., tions of Its Time.


How 1t Mirrored the Hopes and Aspira-
-.x.-s, tions of Its Time.
The instantaneous and universal
popularity which the first ''Locksley
Hall'' gained was due in part to causes
independent of its form. 1t mirrored
as did no other work the hopes and
aspirations of its time. The period in
which it was produced was period OF
exaltation which reflected in faint out
lines the mood of men in the earlier
months of the French revolution. 1t
is hard for us now to conceive the
state of mind that prevailed at the
opening of the half-century that has
just closed. The optimistic view OF
the future was everywhere predomi-
nant. The race was at last emerging
from the social and political thraldom
which had cramped its efforts and
crushed its spirit Glass distinctions
were on the point Of overthrow, ancient
abuses of all sorts were about to be
uprooted. On another side there was
a prospect full as glorious. Man was
speedily to assert his full mastery
over the blind but mighty elemental
forces of which he had hitherto been
the plaything or the victim. His
career of conquest over nature had al
ready opened triumphantly. Steam
applied to locomotion was annihilat-
ing space. Electricity, though not yet
made fully captive, was revealing the
possibility of the humiliation of time.
An abstract personification called
science, with miracles already per-
formed, and with the promise of
greater miracles to be performed, was
the new deity to which we were to
look for the regeneration OF the race.
There was no limit to its beneficence,
no limit to its power, no limit, there
fore, to what it could and would &C
complish. To all the future looked
bright, for there was intoxication in the
air.
It was at such time as this that
the poet came forward in the original
''Locksley Hall'' to put into majestic
words the majestic but vague ideas
which had fired the imaginations OF
men. To their shadowy conceptions
he gave distinctness and grandeur.
He pictured for them the full glory OF
the coming day which had already
begun to dawn. Prof. Lounsbury, in
Scribner's Magazine.
