Conserve Your Force,

Hamerton says: "It often happens that mere activity is a waste of time, that peo- pie who have morbid habit of being busy are often terrible time wasters; while, on the contrary, those who are judiciously deliberate, and allow themselves intervals of leisure, see the way before them in those intervals, and save time by the ac- curacy of their calculations"
 Another writer, unknown, says: Some men are in incessant action, early and late, and all through the day. They have no time for family or friends As for holidays, the less for them the better. They have inherited a nervous tempera- ment, and are doing just the wrong thing with it-allowing it to hurry them to m untimely end. They wear themselves out. Their brain Is ever in a state of morbid activity almost like that of an in- sane man. \ little careful planning, and a proper laying out of work, and especially doing everything in the proper time, would avoid all such hurry and worry, make work much easier, secure an abun- dance of leisure and greatly increase length of life.

Crossing the Muddy Street.

l stood at q corner on Main street She other day and watched the people making their way across the muddy street. Did you ever notice how differently this is done by different people
 There is the lady who pauses moment arily in dismay, then gathers her skirts with one hand and daintily picks her way, striving to step where some mans big brogan has left it's imprint, but failing be- cause the brogan took such long steps.
 Then comes the well dressed man who never deforms his shapely feet with over shoes. He glances down at his well pol ished boots, mutters an imprecation about the street commi. toner, and walks across on his heels maintaining his balance with difficulty and losing his temper altogether.
 The old resident who is used to this sort of thing, and who would not feel at home with a clean pavement in the spring time, does not permit the muddy crossing to delay him, but with skill, born of long experience, takes advantage of every pro jecting dry spot that the pavement affords, and doesn't get very muddy after all
 But the man who produced the strong est impression upon me, the man whom you will at once recognize, was the man whose unpublished boots and insensibility to dirt enabled him to disregard the mud. This man sets his foot down like a pile driver, or yanks it through the liquid mud like snow blow and literally bespatters everybody and everything within radius of five yards. You have met him; every body has met him. He has splashed you with mud; he has splashed everybody.
 He should be abated as a public nui- sance.-Kansas City Journal.

Enthusiasm Over Scotch Songs.

We met with several instances of how enthusiastic Scottish feeling exists in the midst of colonial life, which, with its prosaic features and struggle after ma terial wealth, is not always the best con- server of national sentiment. The feeling is apt to become eccentric, as was the case of the Scotsman of King Williams Town who had a portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots, hung in his bedroom, and who every morning on rising stretched his hands toward it, crying, "OhI my mur- dered queen" Once we overheard an enthusiast saying, My Ain Preside" t" ''Ye Banks an Braes," 'The Land O the Leal,-eh, body could be fit to gang to heaven hearing thae sangs sung" And was ever love of country more strongly expressed than in the case of the Fort Beaufort Scotsman, who exclaimed: "Gude save us! I'd rather gang hame an be hanged than dee here a natural deathp'-New York Times.

Light Depth of Arctic Shows.

The comparatively light depth of snow in the north frigid zone is tolerably easy of explanation, but the difference in con- sistency between it and the same material further south is not so easy to understand In the former case we really have but two seasons when the snow falls-the spring and autumn-the intensely cold weather of winter being as unfavorable for a snow storm seemingly as the summer itself; in fact, 1 have seen a snow storm every July and August l was in the Arctic, while there were number of months in each winter of which could not say the same, The Eskimo plainly recognize these two seasons of snow storms, and have two different names for the spring and fall SHOWS.
 During the winter there may be high winds, which carry the loose snow in drifting packs, so that person caught out in such a gale would think at first sight that he was in a first class snow storm; but, nevertheless, none has fallen. and although drifts have formed deeper here and there, this has been picked up from the ridges and hilltops and the average depth is the same as before. For this, too the natives have a name, and VIII 4HlolIh you GItI dO IldI temper ature and that time of the year no snow falls. In Greenland ob- servations have been carried on for many years by Danish meteorologists, and Dr. Rink, the best authority on that region, says that ''in north Greenland the amount of snow annually falling is in ferior to that of south Greenland," and this law seems to be general In short, the heaviest fall of snow is not in the frigid no more than in the torrid zone, but somewhere between the two.-Lieut. Frederick Schwatka.

A Cook with a Ceptrifupal Motion

A well known Paris scientist, Dr. De- launay, has made some curious discover les which show the connection between little and great things. To ascertain the qualities of an applicant cook he says it is sufficient to give her plate to clean, a sauce to make, aud watch how she moves her hand ill either act. If she moves it from left to right, or in the direction of the hands of watch you may trust her; if the other way, she is certain to be stu pid and incapable. The intelligence of people may also be gauged, the doctor further says, by asking them to make a circle on paper with a pencil and noting in which direction the hand is moved. The good students in a mathematical class draw circles from left to right. The inferiority of the softer sex, as well as the male dunces, is shown by their drawing from right to left. Asylum patients do the same. In word, says the doctor, centrifugal movements are characteristic of intelligence and higher development; centripetal are mark of incomplete evo- lution. A person, as his faculties are de- veloped, may even come to draw circles in different way from what he did in his youth.-Chambers' Journal.

A Relic nf fhn War.

The Listener witnessed recently an in- teresting little ceremOny-the removal of three charges from an old revolver, which had been borne, and evidently used, by an officer on the field of Cedar Creek, on Oct. 19, 1864. On that day, Capt c. F. W, of the Thirtieth Massachusetts, had, as he charged with his company the stone wall behind which the Confederates were entrenched, drawn this old five shooter, of the most approved ante war type, which looks about as much like the ordinary Colt or Smith 6 Wesson of this day as @ revolutionary firelock does like the latest pattern of magazine rifle. The revolver was loaded, but the captain had discharged two shots from it. Then he was himself shot through the heart, and fell. The men pushed on; the Confeder- ates were driven from their position, and defeat turned into victory; but when Gen. Sheridan rode before the reformed line, and complimented the troops upon their bravery, the gallant captain lay back upon the field, among the dead and wounded.
 His revolver, with the remaining three charges in it, was sent home to his family, and from that day to this the charges re- mained in it, like sheathed weapon ready for service. Occasion had arisen, how ever, to pass the old pistol on to a still younger hand, and it was deemed best to draw the old charges at last. So the three percussion caps, that looked as old fash toned as a flint lock itself to this genera ton, were removed. The bullets, with tseir paper c5Etridses: were carefully drawn; and the powder fell out of them, some of it as bright and doubtless as energetic, if one were to test it, as when the captain loaded his revolver before the battle of Cedar Creek. To one who was there, the sight of those old cartridges must have brought back grim and nov ing spectacle of as gallant charge as the war had known. - Boston Transcript "Listener."
