Sayings Of the Sases,

You will find in your work that the
less you have to look at the better you
attend. You can no more see twenty
things worth seeing in an hourthan you
can read twenty books worth reading
in a day. No book is North anything
that is not worth much, o is it SER
viceable until it has been read, and
reread, and loved, and loved again,
and marked SO that you can refer to
the passages you wanti in it as a SOL
dier can seize the weapon he needs in
an armory.-Ruskin.

The eason why great men meet
with 80 little pity or attachment in adj
versity would seem to be this: The
friends of a great man were made by
his fortunes, his enemies by himself,
and revenge is a much more punctual
%paylnaster than gratitude. Those
whom a great MAJ has married rejoice
at his ruin, and those whom he has
made look on with Indifference, be-
cause with common minds the destruc-
ton of the creditor is considered, as
equivalent to the payment OF the debt.

Fun on an Electric Car.

The electric street cars between this
place and Birmingham have always
been a source of pride and wonder as
well to the people of the two towns.
Never a country visitor comes to see
his relatives but he is taken for a ride
on the 'lectric cars, and the workings
are explained to him. Some of the
cars ''leak," and the metallic parts
are highly charged with electric fluid.
One car especially is noted for this.
The conductor and those who know
the secret have lots of fun seeing the
look of painful surprise that spreads
itself over the faces of those who are
shocked. Yesterday a lady got on
the car as it started, and as her feet
touched the iron doorsill she gave
startled scream, and a look of blank
amazement spread over her features,
as she remarked: "Something is the
matter with my Limbs; I can't
move them" The conductor gave her
q little push into the car, and sigh
of relief escaped her as she sank into
q seat, and blushed like an Italian
sunset.
The next one to enter was big
Irish washerwoman. She was fat and
Jolly, and her size required an effort
on her part to squeeze through the
door. She planted both feet on the
iron plate and then screamed: Glow
ly Moses! Me legs is full of pins!"
The conductor didn't laugh, He had
too big job to push her off the sill.
There came a gentleman, whose little
dog followed him. The dogs feet
struck the door sill, his tail dropped
down, the hair on his back rose up,
and with a pitiful howl he dropped
back, jumped off the car and has not
been seen since.-Ansonia Dispatch to
the New York Sun.

The Time to BE Careful.

New York Tribune: Now is the season

And that is just the hard part of it in this

nothing stops; q week OF absence from
school or college means harder work later
on. Therefore, unless the need is urgent
we cannot take our children out of the
treadmill of daily work, but it behooyes US
to be all the more careful to watch their
diet, to see that they have sleep enough and
exercise enough, and, If necessary, to give
them some tonic adapted to their constitu-
tons and needs.

SENATE.

A resolution from Senator Stevens direct
ing the insertion of maps of the new con-
grcSSiOnal apportionment in the legislative
manuals not yet distributed was adopted.
In the order OF committee reports Sena-
tors Day and Leavitt reported back the bill
asserting the state rights to the Pickerel
lake land with substitute for everything
after the enacting clause. The bill is
simple assertion OF the claim of the state
TO the land i'll question.
The veterinary practice bill landed unex-
pec1cdly back in general orders. IL was
first defeated, % yeas to % nays, then re-
considered, and finally turned over to COM
mittee OF the whole.
When the cal endar = 2alshed four bills
were introduced by permission of the gov
ernor, and then adjournment was taken
until 10 o'clock this morning.
HOUSE
The Currier bill, II. F. 9O1, was the eighth
in order on the calendar and when it was
reached there was large house, only nine
members being absent from their seats,
namely: MesSrs. Bowman, Campion, Coates,
Doyle, Gallagher, Lloyd, Sinclair, Wacek
and NJ. Walsh.
KILLING THE BILL.
After the bill had been read, Mr.. Scarle
offered an earnest protest in behalf Of
Stearns county and the city of st. Cloud,
the interest OF which he believed would be
injurou>ly affected by the bill, against the
passage OF this bill. Without further de-
liberation or discussion re roll was called
on the passage of the bill, and it WVs de-
ieated by eight votes.
There was quite a battle over the worlds
fair appropriation bill, made mainly by the
Alliance members of the house. AS this
bill! came up for consideration just a ter the
Currier bill had been defeated, there was a
aint suspicion existing that they were feel
ing sore and perhaps little revenge.ul, but
all who spoke disclaimed any such feeling.
Nevertheless, they insisted upon the amount
being cut down tom $4,000 to $50. 600, and
as the author of the bill would not yield
they located the bill altogether. Seeing
this MIR. Reeve offered to accept $50, O00 it
the Alliance members agreed 10 pass the
bill without opposition, which they con-
sented to do, and the bill as amended was
passed.
Mr.. Reeve remained obdurate, and the
roll was called on the bill, with the result
ofits being de. Gated by SO negative votes to
IL affirmative,

The Art Of Story Telling.

The habit Of telling stories is apt to
grow into avice. 1t is easy enough for
q bright man to raise a laugh and aid
in the entertainment of a company
by the relation of some bright Incl
dent, but unhappily he is apt to de-
generate into q monopolizer of con-
versation. Some one once defined a
bore to the man who persists in talk
ing about himself when you want to
talk about yourself. There is good
deal in this, even when the desire is
not to be so personal as ones own
affairs. 1t is only human to desire
to have q fair share of the converse
ton as of every other social privilege.
sat at the ia ole of a very cultivated
family living in the east, and only a few
months since.
Among the guests at the dinner was
a professional story teller with a wife
who knew exactly when to make a
suggestion, and played foil for him
from the soup to the walnuts. After
the meal the men went into the smok-
ing room, and / complimented this
gentleman upon his marvellous MEM
DRY. At that he produced small
memorandum book in which were
notes sufficient to suggest every story
he knew. In other words he had a
repertory, and deliberately selected
the stories best suited for each occas-
sion, thus monopolizing the atten-
ton of the company and running the
conversation.-Detroit Free Press.

Self-DiScipIine,

cal Burton, the great gambler, who

quit backing his judgement with his
money, is o peculiar man, said we'll
known travelling man yesterday. "He
is a great big fellow, over six feet, and
weighing over 200 pounds. One of his
peculiarities is Furnishing himself
when he loses his money or does any
thing that after-thought suggests to
his mind as foolish. l remember a
story l heard some time ago. Burton
had been playing faro-bank and had
lost quite q sum of money. He went
to his room, and the man who occu-
pied the next room declares that he
spent the night marching up and down,
and at every step swearing at himself
something after this fashion: You
thought you knew all about faro didn't
you? You-- old fool, that's
what you are,' and so on. Finally, he
laid himself out on the table, folded
his arms and rolled off on the floor.
This is q favorite way he has of
Furnishing himself, and, being such a
large man, it is doubtless very effect

The Story of Henry LaYina.

Detroit Free Press; Henry Lavine was
the only son of the alderman from the Fifth
ward, and he was known to all the neigh
bors as good boy. He was kind to cats
and dogs, used no bad words, and was very
indignant when some bad boys offered him
10 cents to let them hold a dog fight in his
fathers barn.
One beautiful morning in August Henry
asked his fathers permission to go fishing.
His father looked upon him kindly as he
rerliedi
i would give my consent quicker than
wink, my son, but for the love bear you.
This warm weather is melting the snow,
and I'm raid the ice will go out of the
river to-day with a rnsh. fit does go there
will be great danger Not to-day, Henry,
but sometime in December"
sitting on log in the back yard when Hi
Davis came along with fish pole on his
shoulder and called out:
"Come on, Hank-come with me. The
suckers are running to beat all creation"
my ather won't let me, replied Henry.
"ThGn run aYayl I'd like to see my old
man stop lie trom going where l wanted

But feel that l must do as my dear
father says Should disobey him could
never look him in the face again."
Then you are baby, and kin lick you
with one hand tied behind mcl'
Henry turned away in sorrow, while Hi
proceeded on his way to the river. During
all that forenoon, as Henry weeded in the
garden or helped his mother make oltsoap,
the tempter kept whispering in his ear:
Don't be spring chickenl Run away
and have good time! Your father is mean
to order you to stay homel"
But Henry resisted the evil advice with
all his strength, and when noon came he
i - ~
rewarded, VIII e the bad are sure to meet
with mis- ortune. His mother not only
gave him cent for having been SO indus
trious and cheerful, but the ice went opt of
the river, just as bis father had feared, and
Hi Smith went along with it: The last seen

hen COOP with great cakes Of iGc grinding
and dashing about him, and no one could
extend him help. Nothing was ever found

poised his bright lance for moment,
then sent it deep into his heart.
With tremendous roar and a des-
perate final struggle of scarcely O. min
ute's duration, our prize gave up the
ghost, and, after sinking momentarily,
rose again to the surface, lying upon
his side, just as whale does when ne
dies.
His companions had left us, and we
now, giving three cheers for victory,
towed the carcass to the not far-dis-
tant shore. 1t wss luckily high tide,
and we got the body up to high-wAter
mark, where the speedily receding tide
left it ashore.
On measuring, we found our prize to
be few inches less than fifteen feet
long, from his head to the commence
ment of his short hairless tail We
could not measure his girth, but his
bulk was enormous. His legs were
disproportionately short, giving him,
conformity with his short neck and
very large head, an awkward stolid
appearance, which the agility he dis
played in the water by no means JUS
titled.
We had not been long on shore,
when several natives made their APP
pearance. They testified much Joy at
the sight of the prize, and went
through a most lively pantomime,
from which we gathered that the
beasts were great plague to them,
that the meat was good to eat, and
that they would like portion. The
hint was not lost upon us, who had
not tasted fresh beef for six months.
what say you, boys; will you try
q piece of hypopotamus steak?' pro-
posed the mate; and as no one dis
sented, we got the axes, and after con-
siderable chopping and hacking, got
off the head, when we were enabled to
cut ourselves about twenty-five
pounds of what appeared to be toler-
ably tender meat, off the fore-quarter
of the animal.
Our steaks were cooked for supper,
and whether it was that we we're
blessed with an unusually good appe-
tite or that the meat was actually
well-favored, certain it is that they
tasted delicious, and that we ate
heartily of them.-From a Whaler's
Note Book.
