QUIET WAYS ARE 9ES

What's the use Of worrying,
Ofhurrying,
And scurryinc.
Everybody hurrying,
And breaking up their restI
When everyone is teaching us
Preaching and beseeching us,
Tosettle down AMI enl the fuss
For quiet ways are best.
The rain that trickles down in showers
A blessing brings to thirsty flowers;
Sweet fragrance from each trimming cup
The gentle zephyrs gather up.
There's ruin in the tempeSt's path;
There's ruin in the voice of wrath;
And they alone are blest
Who early learned to dominate
Themselves, their violence abat;,
And prove by their serene estate,
That quiet ways are best.
Nothiug's gained by worrying,
BY hurrying
With fretting and with Aurrying
The temper's often lost:
And in pursuit OF some small prizo
Werush ahead an1 are not wise,
And find the unwonted exercise
A fearful price has cost.
lis better far to join the throng,
That do their duty right along;
Reluctant they to raise fuss
Ormake themselves ridiculous.
Calm and serene in heart and nerve,
Their strength is always in reserve
And nobly stands each test;
And every day and all about
BY scenes within and scenes without,
We can discern, with ns'er a doubt
That quiet ways are best.

dwarfs frequently attain great age,
Richebourg, who died in Paris in 1885,,
was ninety years old. He was only
twenty three inches high, something less
than the stature of our own most cee--
brated dwarf, General Tom Thumb. The
first English dwarf of whom there is au-
thentic record, was only one and half
feet high till thirteen years Of age, though
he afterward attained the height of three
feet nine inches. This was Jeffrey Hud-
son, who was presented to Queen Hen
rlctta by the Duchess of Buckingham.
Hudson on that occasion surprised the
company by stepping out of a pie. He
Is said to have fought two duels, one.
with turkey cock and one with Mr..
Crofts, whom he shot and killed.
Nine. Teresia, known as the Corsican
fairy, was thirty-four inches high and
weighed only thirty-six pounds. She
lived to a good old age, though the ex-
act period is unknown.
When growth is attained, the skeleton
having reached its proportions, any ad-
verse influence affecting the Emphatic
system or nutritive supply in any way
tends to produce leanness. A we'll
developed man, having drunk lye by ac-
cident, after prolonged illness and. re-
covery found himself a living skeleton.
A dissection OF this man after death dis
closed the fact that the thoracic duct
had been nearly closed up.
On the other band, any influence
which stimulates the Iutritive mechanism
unduly degrades thu secretive and as
similative functions and tends to pro-
duce abnormal fat The living skeleton,
with his limited capacity for food and
assured income as a freak, enjoys some
degree of happiness, brt the fat person
deserves commiscrati7D. The statistics
of this class are quite extensive.
Mr.. Bright, an English grocer OF
Maiden, weighed a tr'as of GIG pounds,
and an Irishman, Roger Byrne, who died
IN 1904, was "sevcral stones heavier than
the celebrated Mr. Bright" Mr.. Spooner,
Of Tamworth, though Of medium height,
weighed ESQ pounds.

Mr.. Lambert had been keeper Of the
old county Bridcwell at Leicester, and
despite of his physical immcnsity, was a
very intelligent and octiyc person. A
Kentish innkeeper named Palmer, weigh
ing only $50 pounds, visited Mr.. Lam
bert, and appears to have been deeply
mortified at his own iuferiority, for, on
returning home, he wal suddenly taken

pounds just before his death.
Though rules for the reduction of fat
are more easily given than followed, we
sre assured by a once "lwavy" man, who
tried the experiment successfully for
twenty -four days, that absolute absti-
nence from food will cure it, and to
those who possess sufficient determina-
ton to follow his example this rule is

1t would show the most debauched and
venal campaign in the entire history of
American politics, 1t would disclose
the fact, humliating to all patriotic cit

In the Ohio Republican campaign Nc
Kinleyism was the big dog and Blaine
reciprocity but an insignificant stump of
n tail. To make the ticket "Blaine and
McKinleyn would be to present the ludi-
crous spectacle OF mere aplogy for n
tail attempting to wag a fat and stolid
dog.-l Plain Dealer.
The ticket should not be Blaine and
Mckinley. Mckinley should be at the
head of the ticket Already he has a
better place than Vice President 1t is
not much of an honor to succeed old
money bags Morton, while 1t is big
thing to be Governor of Ohio. McKin-
ley ID stronger than Blaine, because he
is stronger with the trusts and monop-
olists. These are the men who won
the Ohio victory, and these are the men
who put up the stuff that elected Har-
rison. The ticket should be Mckinley
and Jay Gould, or Mckinley and Car
negie, or Mckinley and Alger. Blaine
is nothing but sentiment, and the
Ohio campaign shows that public opin-
ion, and conscience have no show for a
hearing, when money music has the
ears of the audience. Jack the Ripper,
with Quay and his gang of boodlers be
hind him, would run much stronger for
President in the g. o. p. than Jim
Blaine, without the gang. We predict
that Jim Blaine will become 9 sallow

"TRUTB crushed to earth shall rise
again" AT least this is the view of the
Memphis Appeal Avalanche and many
other leading Democratic journals.
Here is an extract from the Appeal
Avalanche on Governor Campbell's
defeat:
Gle has been defeated, but he has
not been forgotten. The Democracy
of this section of the Union will en-
deavor to see that he is participant in
the great battle Of 1892. They wish to
see his name coupled with that of
Grover Cleveland at the head of the
National Democratic ticket. They like
the stuff of which he is made.
They admire his intellect and his pluck,
and they love him for himself. They
are determined that his services shall
not be forgotten. They will turn his
defeat into glorious victory. The
contest in Ohio has made him one of
the great Democratic leaders of the
country, and the Appeal. Avalanche is
prOphesying certainty when it pre-.
diets that new and greater honors
await him."

Our story of the Tower OF Babel is
known in Chaldean and Armenian ira
dition as "The Story of the Tower of
Tongues" It is one of the earliest recol-
lections of the o-Euphrates basin,
and is related by Berosus in tho follow,
ing manner:
''The first inhabitants of tho earth,
glorying in their own strength and size,
and despising the gods, undertook to
raise tower whose top should reach the
skies. This tower they erected in the
place where Babylon's ruins now lay
thiclrly strewn over the ground. In
erecting this monster roadway TO heaven
they toiled necessarily. But when it
had approached near unto heaven the
wind assisted the gods and overthrow
the work upon its contrivers; and its
ruins are said to be still at Babylon
And at about the same time the gods
introduced diversity of tongues among
men. who till that time had ell spoken
the one language. The place In which
they attempted to build tho tower is now
called Babylon, on account of the con-
fusion Of tongues, for confusion Is by the
Hebrews called bable."--St. Louis Re

would be very little sin in the world and
hardly any sickness"

the circus with which he Is connected was
exhibiting at an English town the other
day, he attempted to put particularly
Bayage lion through It's PAGES, The brute
at once fastened its teeth in Orenza's thigh.
A fierce struggle ensued. The assistants
mt the show enfeavored. with the aid of
pitchforks and red hot irons, TO save the
lion tamer's life. 1t was some time before
the victim managed TO drag himself out Of
the den. On examination 1t was found
that besides other injuries Orenza's right
thigh was laid open. This is the fifth time
the tanner has been attacked by this brute.
