A Story with a Moral.

Near railroad crossing where trains frequently waited for connection berries were very plentiful. Two women con. ceived the idea of making little money by selling fresh berries to the hot and dusty travellers. They forthwith put their idea into execution, and were soon passing through the waiting trains offer. ing the fruit for sale. One invariably made ready sales, selling out before she had gone through @ train; the other all ways had berries left unsold, and some times she failed to sell any. One made a handsome little 'pile" by the end of the season; the other questioned whether she had been paid for her time.
 The reason for the success of the one and the failure of the other was not hard to find. It all lay in the manner of ser vice. One of these women was careless and untidy in her appearance the other was scrupulously clean and neat; one measured her berries from her basket in a cup, filling it with her hands as she passed through the train; the other made up little paper holders lined with fresh green leaves, and these she filled with berries before the train arrived. No one wonders which would sell the best.
 Probably some baker or confectiOner nay suspect small sized moral lying around loose ereabouts.-American Gro-

The Number of the Stars.

The total number of stars one can see will depend very largely upon the clear ness of the atmosphere and the keenness of the eye. There are in the whole ce. lestial sphere about 6,00O stars visible to an ordinarily good eye. Of these, how ever, we can never see more than frac- ton at any one time, because half of the sphere is always below the horizon. If we could see star in the horizon as easily as in the zenith, half of the whole number, or 5000, would be visj- ble on any clear night. But stars near the horizon are seen through so great a thickness of atmosphere as greatly to ob. scre their light, and only the brightest ones can there be eeen. As result of this obscuration. it is not likely that more than 1000 stars can be taken in at sin. gle view by any ordinary eye. About 5000 other stars are 60 near the South pole that they never rise in ours latitude. Hence, out of 6,000 supposed to be visi ble, only 4,000 ever come within range of our vision. unless we make a journey towards the equator. E. 5 Holden in The Century.

The Vineyards of France.

The prize of $6o,000 offered some years ago by the French government to any one who should invent a remedy for that destructive disease of the vine, phylloxera. has not yet been awarded. although experiments with some Of the remedies proposed have yielded encourag- irg results. The losses caused by this disease are enormous. About one-half of tue vineyards of France have been totally destroyed by it. MT. Roosevelt, par consul at Bordeaux, reports that the loss caused directly by the destruction of vines fig thus far LAO, ,000, 900, to which should be added more than $760, ,000, ,000 expended for wine and dried grapes i'm ported to make good the shortage, raising the total loss $2, 1000, ,000,00 The value of wine imported into France, to be "doctored' in various ways for use at home and sale abroad as the product of French vineyards, has risen from $1,- 870, ,34s in 1875 to $109, 900, ,0oO in 1887.

Cosmetics Sure to Show.

''Is there any powder which can beput on so as not to show?'' asked, when the black robes had huttered away.
 ''I never saw any which l could not Ietect," was the reply.
 ''Is the use of cosmetics increasingf" vas the question put to the proprietor.
 Certainly it is, he said. ''All sorts of women use complexion remedies. We don't have much to do with the stage people, who have their own ways of making up, but every otl,er sort of wo- nlan comes here. In the winter we make up even buds in their first season, when they haven't bloom enough for a ball room. The washes and enamels come in play then. In summer women who have been shopping step in to get dash of powder SO as not to go home to dinner in precipitation. Some times one of our attendants is sent for post haste to fashionable watering place to make up regular customer for hop or to repair damages after a yachting day in the wind. Shop girls make up quite generally. don't believe their em- ployers require it, as some say, but they poWueI anu EOuSc Us ulucH dS sOCiety folks. No, we don't often use cosmetics on children, though once in while there is a call for that sort of thing in prepara- tion for child's party or ball. There is one little tot of 6, whose mother is a rich widow, and terribly disappointed because the child hasn't inherited her beauty, who is brought here to be made up about as often as children's festivities go on."- Eliza Putnam Heaton.

Charles Summers Charming Letters.

Senator Sumner had a happy way oi writing to any one whose work pleased him as author, orator, painter, sculptor or musician. Many authors have been made happy by his expressions of appreciation. IAngfellow, Whittier, Holmes, Lowell, Motley, Prescott, ct id genus omne, have t4en laid under contribution by the sena- h,r's biographer, and the letters Sumner vrote them while hot from their works will make very interesting reading There are those across the water who can con- tribute to his biography charming letters of appreciation, and among them Jran Ingelow, who received several of great force. He had an especially warm side for young authors of merit, and many a one of them, now of established reputa- Ion, owes much to his discriminating praise, and his encouragement to press on, to elevate and purify their taste, and, above all, Ito work, work, work" To o..e he wrote: "Who shall say that the power to work is not itself genius9"
 It was his way to write to speaker inn medately after he had heard or read his speech. Schuyler Colfax came to the front in a speech on the Kansas question, which showed him to be man of mark. Sumner on that same night wrote him Q letter of thanks, couched in such terms that the young orator showed it to doubt Ing friends as an evidence that at least one leading man did not deem him too rash The letter found its way into print, and soon it was regarded as happily voicinG the views of the party, and Republicans generally indorsed Summers indorsement, and Colfax was @ made man.
 So thoroughly necessary was it deemed to have Summers stamp on rising repu. tation that he was sometimes importuned to do for others what he had done for Col fax. "Let him." Sumner said to one suitor, "make such Q speech as Colfax made, and will write him such letter as I wrote Colfax. ."-Arnold Burges John. son in The Cosmopolitan.

Specialization of Carbon.

Attempts have been frequently made to crystalline carbon so as to form the dia- mond; but, though carbon can be crystal Gzed, it always appears in the finished state as graphite (black lead), and not the diamond. These two forms are the most common, and, in fact, the only two where carbon is known to be crystallized. A discussion by MT. l.. Fletcher on nodule of carbon from a meteorite, which fell in western Australia, develops the discovery of carbon, black, and possessing all the attributes of graphite, but crystallized in sinall cubes. No such precedent has been established, and therefore this may be re- garded as third crystal form for carbon. The discovery has particular interest, az this form has never been obc.rved on aD terrestrial specimen of carbon, but on In this nodule of extra terrestrial oriG

The Impulse to Write.

As to authorship itself. I believe Q writer should have natural impulse to write, just as the bird has a natural de- sire to sing. This impulse comes from a great variety of motives. If it is a mere sentiment, or petty ambition to see his name in print, why, he will write his book, the public will give its verdict and there will soon be an end of it. Among all this throng of writers one will be found here and there who will have the power to interest, win and hold an audi ence. No one cen pick out the man or woman who will do that; the writers themselves do not know how it will be; they must make the trial before they can know whether they will succeed or not. Young writers should rely on the liter ary judgment of honest friends, and not ask busy authors with whom they are not acquainted to criricise their manu- scripts, as many of them now do.-E P. Roe in The Epoch.

Old Women in Canada.

Another point that has often been inn pressed upon me is that all the old dow agers in Canada look precisely like Queen Victoria, and this resemblance is aug. mented by the ugly fashion in which they dress their hair out of compliment to her majesty. There is much more deference in the manner of those in hum ble walks of life toward their superiors than with us. Polite and civil shop girls are not an effete institution in Canada, nor are respectful servants unknown. The street car conductor, who touches his hat respectfully when you signify your stop to him, was such surprise tc me that did not recover from the shock for days.-Edith Sessions Tupper.

Negro Cabins in KentNoky.

Looking out the doors ard windows of siIe cabins, loungiRg in tn, doorways, :efaling over the low frame fences, gath sripg into quickly forming, quickly dis. SOlking groups in the dusty streets, they swarm; they are here from mIlkwhite through all deepening shaAes to glossy elackness; OctOrOOns. quadrOons, mulat' 2 es, some with large, liquid, black eyes, refined features, delicate forms; working, rossip;ng, higgling over prices around vegetable cart. discussing last nights sf.urcn festival, today's funeral or next weeks railway eXcursicn, sleeping, plan ninp how to get work and how to escape 1t. From some unseen old figure in fam. boy ant turban, bending over the washt"h in the rear of cabin, comes crooned song of indescribabe pathos; behind h If closed front shutter, a Moorish hued ~muroso in gay linen thruns his banjo in measure of ecstatic gayety, preluding the 0lore passionate melodies of the coming night. Here fight; there the sound of the fiddle and the rhythmic batting of hands, Tatters and silks flauur them- selves side by side. Dirt and cleanliness lie down together. Indolence goes hand in hand with thrift Superstition dogs the slow footsteps of reason. Passion and self control eye each other all day long across the narrow way. If there is any where resolute virtue, all round it is a weltered muck of low and sensual desire. One sees all the surviving types of old negro life here crowded together with and entrusted with all the new phases of
 'colored" life, sees the transitional stage of a race, part of whom were born slaves and are now freemen, part of whom have been born freemen but remain so much like slaves.
 It cannot fail to happen as you walk along that you will come upon some cabin set back in small yard and half hidden, front and side, by an almost tropical jungle of vines and multiform foliage; patches of great sunfowers, never more leonine in tawny magniflcence and sun loving repose; festoons of white and purple morning glories over the windows and up to the low caves; around the porch and above the doorway trellis of gourd vines swinging their long necked, grotesque yellow fruit; about the entrance flaming hollyhocks and other brilliant bits of bloom, marigolds and petunias-- evidences of the warm native taste that still distil guishes the negro after some centuries of contact with the old, chast- ened ideals of the Anglo-Saxon.-James LsDe Allen in The Century.
