An authentic incident in the career ot
General Robert E. Lee is told as an evi
dence of his sweetness of disposition and
natural kindliness. One day he was in.
specting the batteries over the lines be-
low the city of Richmond, and the sol
diers had gathered in a group to wei
come him. This action drew upon them
the fire of the Union guns.
The general faced about and advised
the men to go under shelter. But he
did not do this himself Walking on,
although in apparent danger, he picked
up and replaced an unhedged sparrow
which had fallen from its nest near by.
The act was instructive, but perhaps
indicates really higher endowment
than ability to conduct notable cam
paigns-Y Youths Companion.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

There is no religion in a long face.
The price of knowledge is disenchant
ment.
If you want to get happiness try Il
give it.
We often weep before we had tim,
to smile.
Failure mars the fool, but helps tC
make the man.
Manners are not gloves to be put on
and off at will.
A thousand men say too much where
one says too little.
More tears are shed in the play-hous-
eS than in churches.
1t is less pain to learn in youth than
to be ignorant in age.
We hand folks over to Gods mercy
and show none ourselves.
1t is hard to remember the good quail
ties of those who forget us.
The future destiny of the child is al
ways the work of the mother.
More people laugh at us than with us,
how ever it may at the moment.
The man who is true to the best he
knows will do to trust anywhere.
A judicious silence is always better
than truth spoken without charity.
Repentance that is brought about
through fear hardly ever lasts very long.
Be careful what you do to-day; for to-
day will become yesterday and cause
you many regrets.
The man who expects to say good bye
to his sins, one at time, will never get
the devil behind him.
There is no virtue in doing what you
have to do. Even the devil will behave
himself when he is chained.
The gloomiest knell that rings over the
fall from virtue must be to hear of the
lost esteem of those We love.
Old men who have loved young COM
pany, and been conversant continually
with them, have been of long life.

Why Women Should Helm Govern

The eternal and ineradicable distinc-
ton of sex is one principal reason why
women in a representative government
should be directly represented. If law
yers alone cannot safely be trusted to
make laws for mechanics, if merchants
alone cannot legislate for farmers, if
every well defined class in society is en-
titled to its own authoritative expression
through the ballot, surely women, who
are the wives and sisters and mothers of
men, should give expression to the do
mestic interests from the feminine point
of view. If blacksmith cannot fairly
represent physician, how much less can
a man represent womanl-Henry B.

Force of Habit.

A lady who wished to weigh her baby,
two months old, but who had no scales
at hand suitable for the purpose, took
the child to a neighboring butcher shop.
The butcher put the baby in his spring
scales, looked at the dial, and remarked:
with the bones and all, mum, it's
fourteen pounds and a half. Shall IY'-
"How dare you make such sugges-
tion," screamed the woman, as she
snatched her baby and rushed out of the
shop.-Youth's Companion.

WOMEN NOT ANGELS.

7. W. Higgins0n, in Harper'S Bazar
1t is evident that women as we now
find them are very far from being per
feet and angelic beings. In the matter
of pucuniary honesty, while they are far
above men, they have hitherto had far
less of temptation or opportunity than
men. In lawless races, as the English
gypsies, where women have great free
dom, this distinction does not exist.
On the contrary, while the mems range
of action in this respect goes no farther
than cheating in a horse trade, to the
women alone is intrusted what is known
as 1.-The great trick by which all the
silver of an unsuspecting family is ap-
propriated under pretence of changing
it into gold. There is no reason to sup
pose that women are not capable of be-
ing dishonest; and there is every rea-
son to suppose that whenever they be-
come so, the recognized sharpness of
the feminine wit will place them high
up in their chosen vocation. Experienced
critics declare that no swindling device
ever contrived in this country was more
skillful than the "Woman's Bank" long
conducted in Boston. Nay, it will be
that after its frauds had
been thoroughly exposed, magazine ar
ticles were still written in its defence
by perfectly upright women, and those
who had aided in its exposure were Sc
verely censured. Without doubt there
are women who still believe in it, and
regard its protector as being the unap-
preciated philanthropist she called her
self

A Great Walker.

Henrick Ibsen is methodical walker.
So fond is he of his daily walk that he
takes it rain or shine, and the cotton
umbrella which he always carries has
become part of his individuality. His
favorite time for walking is an hour be-
fore twilight. He writes incessantly all
day and adopts this method of resting
his tired brain and body. His well knit,
muscular frame attests his good health,
and he can stand any amount of literary
work. 1t is said of Ibsen that he writes
one year and walks the next.-Washing-

A Poets Advice.

A Dervish, lazy and hungry, met a
Sufi poet, and he begged of him aims,
but the son of songs and the father of
sayings said, 81 have only the wisdom
of God, the advice of the dead and the
songs of men,"
"Will song fill my paunch?' cried the
other. To whom made answer the poet:
Sing song of sixpence, and that
will fill your pocket with rye, and scat
ter the rye, and that will fetch silly
blackbirds to make for you a pie-and
any girl will cook it."
Thanks, said the eman.-Ceptury.

New Rules of Politeness.

In certain private schools of Brooklyn
new rules of politeness are enforced 1t
is no longer proper for the little pupils
to say: Eyes, sir" mo, sir" Eyes,
ma'am," and "No, ma'am,' to their
elders. Now the correct thing is: ''Yes,
Mr.. Brown" mo, Miss Smith," and
SO on.
If the child happens to be addressed
by strange lady or gentleman the child
is instructed to reply, Eyes, mister" or
eyes, lady"
AT first this strikes the uninitiated as
an unpleasant innovation, but it has OBJ
tained a strong hold on the children
and they are rapidly making their pa
rents converts to the new system.-New

REFRIGERATION.

Harper's Weekly.
The latest elaboration of the ref iger
alton process is a new thing entii ely. A
plant has just been established nea
Washington Market, from which ther,
is to be supplied current of cold thai
will chill all the refrigerators in the stall:
of the market-over three hundred in
number. The system of piping is worth
word of description. As one of the
men who have worked for some years
to perfect the scheme has said, 1.-THE
company proposes to do what the great
steam distributing companies are doing
with difference. What we are doing
IS to distribute and sell minus units of
heat"
The only sense in which this is new is
that it is done on larger scale than ev-
er before. 1t is like applying the prin-
clples of the telephone to the long dis
tance telephone. AS has been already
explained, the idea of refrigerating an
ice-box or house in not new. Theidea
OF doing it from central plant, and
supplying minus heat or positive cold
through pipes, is new. 1t does away
with the handling of ice at each box
owned by customer, and enables the
butchers and other dealers in the mar
ket to keep their wares as long and as
well as if they were packed in ice. In
one uptown hotel where the plan has
been put in operation for nearly two
years, the saving has been found to be
over seventy-fve per cent of the former
cost. 1t is distinctly one of the great
steps forward in modern progress.

which fills the heart with all human

Others and severe to himself is an object

mankind hates the lust of power when
it is veiled under the garb of piety; they
hate canting and hypocrisy; they hate

love to tear folly and impudence from
the altar which should be a sanctuary
