A Hint to Young WRITER'S.

We all know how to talk. There n =
certain number of words r>lt on the
tongue of every human being, Just as
the song is given to the canary bird or to
the robin. But beyond tie song these
birds cannot go. And beyond the natu-
raj speech, or the words that nature
gives to every one, the illiterate human
being cannot go. His vocabulary is lin
tied until he becomes q student. Then
he begins to widen and there is no near
boundary line to its possibilities. The
writer who imagines that he can give
additional emphasis to q composition by
the use of large words is greatly mistak-
en-. The economy of the readers atten-
ton is absorbed in understanding and
applying these big words, and there is
little Of the mental energy left with
which to digest the idea that these long
words contain. The picture that is
brought before his mental vision is there
fore dim and uncertain.
If the writer would give more promi-
nence to the idea and less to the verbal
frame; in other words, If he would use
simple language which by contrast
would bring out the idea, he would not
only economic his readers mental ener-
gy, but would benefit himself by MAX
ing himself more easily understood. The
mind is not able to do more than one
thing at time and do it we'll. It can
not at once delye into the mysteries of a
many syllable word and comprehend the
thought in proper manner. Chicago

II pays to Get tn. BEST.

Some people think economy means
buying cheap things-articles that cost
the least money Of any of their kind.
True economy is getting the best for
the amount OF money yoa have tospen1.
A really serYiceable, wel,-made article,
even at good price, is worth a house
full of shoddy manufactures, made only
to sell. There is no greater fallacy than
to suppose that Except in rare instanees)
you can get dollars worthof anything
for less than dollar. Tradesmen do
not get rich by giving their goods away,
and it is safe to say that man is in his
business for the profits and not for
amusement. II you travel. it is economy
of money, of time, of comfort. to buy
your ticket over such a line as "The
Burlington" where speed. safety and
equipment are all mp to the very highest
standard and the utmost care taken to
keep them SO. For tickets, rates, maps,
etc. call on your local ticket agent. or

The Right Arm and Left Foot,

The right arm is always little larger
than the left, but the left foot is almost
always larger than the right. presumably
because, while nearly every man uses
his right arm to lift {. weight or strike
blow, he almost invariably kicks with
his left foot, while the lounger stands on
his left leg and lets his right fall easily,
because he has learned by experience
that this is the best attitude he can as
sumo to prevent lassitude and fatigue.
This constant bearing Of the weight
on the left foot makes it wider than the
right. and it often happens that man
who tries on shoe on the right foot and
gets close fit has to discard the shoes
altogether because he cannot endure the
pain caused by the tightness of the left.
If when riding on the street car you will
take the trouble to notice, you will see
that in laced shoes the gap is much
smaller on the right foot than on the left,
while with button shoes the buttons
have to be set back ten times on the left
shoe to once on the right.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

packages of refined opium, bottled speci-

caps, quantities of frecrackers and tor
pedoes, false teeth, corn husking gloves.
every imaginable sort of kitchen utensils,
carpenters tools, horns, tambourines,
banjos, harmonious, gold headed canes,
and even spirit photographs.
Many of the objects accumulated come
under the ..unmailable" head, being Of
glass or pointed instruments" which
might damage the mails. Bottles on
surgical tools are not carried by Uncle
Sam unless inclosed in wood or tin. One
hundred dollars worth of nuggets Of
virgin gold in a box came in a while ago
and are awaiting Q CLAIMANT. Likewise
damaged plug hat, which had no adj
dress, and a grotesque doll about the size
of baby. There are some gloves from
the steamship Oregon which were ia
days under water, though they seem to
be fairly respectable now and might be
worn at stretch. Some wedding cake
is exhibited in the museum that Is fiftv

The cobra and the Empty Can


The terrible cobra de capello, which is
feared and venerated in India as snake
god, is occasionally caught mapping when
he has encroached on the territory of
others
A resident in India says that he was
one day much astonished by hearing a
succession of reports, like the firing of a re-
volver, which issued from the goodwin
or storeroom. AS he opened the door a
strange sight met his gaze. A cobra had
managed to get into the room and had
been attracted by an empty biscuit tin
in American parlance tin cracker box
about 12 by 6, in which some crumbs
were still remaining.
The cover had not been well opened,
and the edges were jagged. The cobra
had pressed his head inside to lick up
the crumbs, but he could not get it out
again. The more he tried, the more diff
cult did it become.
In his rage his hood expanded and was
lacerated by the sharp edges Of the tin,
and upon this he began to lash about
with his tail. Pop, pop, went bottles Of
champagne and beer; these were the re-
ports which had been heard within, and
they had given the signal which brought
his executioners to the spot.-Youth's
Companion.

Rome No Larger Than Brooklyn.


The exaggerations of Vossius, Lipsius
and Chateaubriant, who give to imperial
Rome $4,000, 900, 100000 and 100000
of inhabitants are too absurd to deserve
notice. Hume, who, in his mastery es-
say on the "Populousness of Ancient
Nations" has discussed the question of
the population of Rome with his usual
learning and good sense, arrives at the
conclusion that Rome, when at her
zenith, might have been as populous as
London in 1760; in other words, that she
might have had from 700, 200 to 100000
inhabitants. Gibbon estimated the popu-
lation at 1900, 900, but it would appear
that the more moderate estimate of
Hume is the more accurate. The popu-
lation of Rome at its largest, therefore
did not exceed that of Brooklyn in 1891.

The Flight of the stork.

The stork is remarkably picturesque
bird; its snowy body contrasting with
the bright red beak and legs and black
quill feathers of the wings, make it a
striking object. The fight is magnif-
cent, holder and more buoyant than that
of heron. Like most large birds, its
powers of fight show best when it is at
a great height. When we were on the
Bastei rock, in Saxon Switzerland, pair
passed overhead, flying southwark.
Though high above us, we could clearly
see the black pinion feathers; and as we
watched the powerful beat of. the wide
spreading wings we though of the
angels in Zachariah's vision who had
wings like the stork. "-C Chambers Jour
