WATCH YOUR KETTLE.
A Ease and Stupid Proverb That Stands
in Need of Revision.

A Ease and Stupid Proverb That Stands
in Need of Revision.
There is bit of proverbial philosophy
afloat to the effect that "a watched ket-
tie never boils." False philosophy this,
whe ether taken literally or figuratively.
In the one case, it is an idiotic super
stition; in the other, stupid mistake;
in either, humbug and cheat.
Cease to watch your business kettle,
and what comes of leaving it to take
care of itself? It either becomes stone
cold or blows up You don't want your
enterprise over-done. and you don't want
it under-done. Your object is to strike
the golden mean between lukewarmness
and the explosive point, represented,
we will say, by 212 of Fahrenheit. How
are you to stimulate the contents of
your kettle up to the right mark-to
make them ebullient without turning
them into dangerous element-unless
you regulate the upward tendency ju-
diciously. 1t is only the neglected busi-
ness kettle that never boils to good
purpose.
Suppose Lord Worcester, Marquis Of
Somerset, had not watched his kettle,
and so had not observed the phenom-
enon of the Tapping lid, forced into mo-
ton by the pressure Of the escaping
steam? If the Marquis had not received
that hint from his watched kettle as to
tho latent force Of steam, who can tell.
what deprivation of motive power man
kind would have undergone?
Your moral kettle must be looked
after, too, or it is more likely to freeze
than boil Morality, without the
warmth Of feeling necessary to make it
active, is not of much use. In fact, all
the figurative kettles, individual and
social, included within the range of hui
man hopes and duties, require to be
closely watched.
The world is paved, as one may say,
with the wrecks Of kettles which would
have been of incalculatle utility If they
had been properly managed-reforma-
tory kettles, for example, which only
required the fire of zeal to keep them
going, and the guardianship of practical
common sense to regulate them, in Or
der to become valuable utensils in the
kitchen of Progress.
To watch your kettle till it boils, and
all the time that it is boiling. is tho
only sure way to provide against acci-
dents-N. Y. Ledger.

A Double TragedV.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 3.-One of the
most horrible tragedies ever occurring
in this vicinity makes the Sunday just
passed sadly eventful one in South
st. Paul. At 1890 yesterday morning
Benjamin F. Rogers, of the live stock
commission firm of Rogers & Rogers,
was assassinated by man named
George Robarge near the residence of
the latter, on the hill at point a mile
and quarter distant from the stock
wards. The trouble was over driving
some cattle of Rogers across Robarge's
land to pasture. AS socn as Rogers
was killed Robarge shot and killed
himself.

SWEET BELLS OF STRATFORD.

Sweet bells Of Stratford, telling slow,
In summer gloaming's golden glow,
hear and feel thy voice divine,
And all my soul responds to thine.
AS now hear thee, even SO
My Shakespeare heard thee long ago,
When lone by Avon's pensive stream
He wandered in his haunted dream;
Heard thee. and far his fancy sped
Through spectral caverns Of the dead,
And sought-and sought in vain-to pierce
The secret Of the universe.
AS now thou mournest didst thou mourn
On that sad day when he was borne
Through the long aisle Of honeyed lines
To rest beneath the chambered chimes.
He hsErd thee not, nor cared to hear!
Another voice was in his ear
And, freed from all the bonds Of men,
He knew the awful secret then.
Sweet bells Of Stratford, toll, and be
A golden promise unto mo
OF that great hour when shall know
The path whereon his footsteps go!

A VERY acrimonious discussion has
developed in Alabama in regard to the
mutilation of Rube Burrows body be-
fore or after death, many marks of vio-
lence being visible. Whatever mutila-
tion there was of the late Mr.. Burrows
must have been done after death, as he
took particular pains that nothing of
that kind occurred during his life-t time.
Indeed, his great ability to pre- vent any
thing Of the sort had much to do with
his long and busy career.

PROF. WILLIAM D. MARKEY, supervis-

sional reputation on his ability to build
a railroad and construct an electric mo-
tor that will carry a train from New
York to Philadelphia in thirty-six min
utes, that is at the rate of one hundred
and fifty miles an hour. He says he
would pour electricity into the rails
from four way stations with enormous
dynamos. The cars would proba bly, be
round. Special precaution would be
taken to obviate the powerful suction of
trains in motion. The road must be as
near straight as possible.
