If you are wise thou knowest thine

knowledge, economy and labor are
the shining virtues of civilized man.
They form the most enduring basis of
society, and the surest source of nation
al and individual welfare.
-Notoriety is not influence. When
man becomes famous for his eminent
usefulness among his fellows, rather
than for his eccentricities among them,
his influence is likely to correspond to
his distinction.-Ch Leader.
Russell Sage says that the young
man taught in fashionable college is
house-plant, while the young man who
cultivates himself is an outdoor growth
and better able to stand severe drought
or severe storm, which all are subject
to in the variations of life.
How foolish is selfishness! How
marked by unwisdom is that spirit
which would absorb all about ones self,
fancying thereby to attain greater
happiness, but succeeding only in bring

self.-United Presbyterian,
Every word we speak is the medal

"A sympathetic spirit is one of the
chief prerequisites to all good conversa-

man may have, what depths of thought,
or breadth of knowledge, or brilliance

their standpoint, share in their feelings,

REPRODUCTION NOT ART.
why It VIII Not DO to Paint Things as
They Really Arc.


The instantaneous photograph bids
fair to become very potent aid to artists
who seek to teach their pupils that re-
production is not art; for it is clearly
demonstrated by this means that the
real is in nowise like tho apparent. For
example, an instantaneous photograph
of man in the act of running never
looks as much like man in the act of
running as the pen drawing of q true
artist does. The reason is that the pho
tograph reproduces the one exact position
of the runner at the instant the picture
is made, while the artist pictures several
positions in one and makes his man seem
to be moving. Art always has dealt and
must deal with things, not as they are,
but as they seem to be. We sit and look
at a runner. He seema simultaneously
to bend forward his body, throw one leg
away forward and the other far to the
rear, with both knees ut almost an acute
angle. At the same instant he seems to
swing one arm forward while the other
is drawn back, both being "shut"
tightly at the elbows. So it seems, for
the eye of the observer is not keen
enough to see the position of each in
slant separately-it sees the positions of
q group of instants, and the observer
thinks that these positions are stimuli
taneous. The instantaneous photo
graph shows they are not simultaneous,
and in doing this presents picture that
does not look like man in the act of
running. This photograph is going to
be-indeed, already is--a great aid to
science, but the only thing it can do for
art will be to prove that reality does not
seem as true as the ideal. What is true
of the painters and the sculptor's art is
true also of the writer's. He who de-
scribes things as they really are may
be a scientist, but only he who describes
things as they seem to be is an artist
We frequently hear readers say of char
acters created by an artistic writer that
they have seen just such persons. They
think they have, but they haven't. 1t
is the writer's art that makes them
think they have. If he had actually de-
scribed the persons they have in mind
Aey would say there were never such
beings on earth. Thus it comes about
that truth [reality is stranger because
less commonly observed than fiction"
and that 'fiction the ideal hath a
nobler end than fact. - Washington
Post

AN ODD SLOT MACHINE.
Crude Prototype of the Financial Auto
maton in an English Inn.


A gentleman writing from Sheffield,
England, says: In a grimy little inn of
this place | found the landlord quietly
smoking his pipe. 1 wanted to smoke,
but had neither pipe nor tobacco, but
that mattered not. The good landlord
brought from his collection a pipe of the
''churchwarden" variety, so long that
the stem once in my mouth had to slip
forward yard or so to reach the bowl.
For tobacco he placed a tin box on the
table. 1t was about foot long, eight
inches wide, and perhaps six deep.
There was slit in the cover. Into this
the landlord dropped big English
penny, whereupon the lock was released
with click, and having raised the cover
we filled our pipes with the tobacco ly'
ing loose inside. 1t was crude but
effective example of the nickle-in-the-
slot machine.
This box" said the landlord, sis al.
ways in the smoking-room for the con-
venience of the guests who are out OF
tobacco, and the pennies dropped in to
secure pipeful just about pay for keep
ing the supply undiminished."
~ should think" 1 suggested, "that
the box once opened all the tobacco
might be extracted by some conscience
less vagabond. Your box isn't modern.
1t ought to be so contrived that only a
limited supply could be obtained for
each penny"
81 don't think" he responded, "that
the box has suffered much from dishon
est users, and as for being modern, of
course it isn't. That box has been in
use in this hotel for more than one hun
dred and fifty years, and is probably the
forerunner of all the penny-in-the-slot
machines now so common all over En-
gland and America, too, as understand. 2"
The box was certainly battered and
dusty enough to have been in use that
length of time, and there seems to be no
reason to doubt the landlords statement
with regard to toit.-Inventive Age.

Respaot to the Church.

In Russia it is customary for all lay
men, the Emperor himself included, to
show their outward respect for the
church by kissing the hands of its min

experience of such exalted personages,
hesitated to offer him his hand; the
Grand Duke, getting impatient, is re-
