Don't Give Up Your Boys.

One of the most eminent pulpit and
platform orators of this continent has
all his life been troubled with seri-
GUS impediment of speech. A peysi-
clan, whom few surpass in fame,
skill, and patronage, had st. Vitus'
dance till he was twelve years old.
Another professional man, whose
name is familiar to thousands who read
these words, had epileptic fits till be
was past ten years of age. The Cheii
Justice of one of the suprem ecourts OF
the county, is almost dwarf. A
noted architect is so unpreposessing in
appearance, that hardly any one would
take him for person of ordinary in
telligence, and a chief railway law.
yer has miserable voice. OF lame
men in the higest positions. there are
many, and the partly deaf earning
prosperity are all about us. Don't give
up your boys who have some impedi-
ment. And do not let them give them
selves up. Encourage them to noble
ambition; help them with discretion:
they may honor your family name and
and comfort your old age beyond those
whose perfect form and rapidly matur.

A SaEaciOuS Dog.

I have little silver-mounted ma
walking out with the dogs. This stick
Smith a Dachshund is never How
ed to carry, as his teeth would leave
too manp traces behind; and his most
eloquent pleadings to have it" Just
once" are always met with Il steady de-
nial. One day accidently left this
cane lying upon the lawn, and ! saw
from an upper window struggle OF
Smiths cOncience over his wishes that
really did him the greatest credit AS
he was playing about the lawn by him.
self,he suddenly came unawares upon
this lCng-coveted treasure. He stop
ped and stared ut it eagerly, and then
looked carefully round him. / was
hidden behind the window curtain,
and there was nobody in sight. Then
began the battle with himself He
looked At the stick; he smelt it care
fully all the way long; he drew back
a little to gaze at it, and licked his lips
with the delight of the anticipation.
Then he approached and smelt it once
more, and it seemed just as if he must
take it and pull it to peices, as he loves
to do. But all of q sudden his better
nature came 10 his aid. He turned his
back upon temptation, and sat down
with his head the other way guarding
the treasure till his mistresi should
claim il, but not touching himself
what he knew he was not allowed to
have.
This may seem a small victory to
those who do not know Smiths pas
sion for a stick, but such of his friends
who are aware of this trait will appre-
ciate his self.restraint.
Smith is very unselfish too, and
gives many proofs of this in his deal
ings with other dogs. We have little
visitor with us Just now, very small
pure-bred Dachshund, called Fritz,
whose master and mistress are abroad.
Little Fritz has not much character of
his own, and the chief individual trait
he has developed is an alteration of
Smith, which is little overpowering
to its object. Whenever Smith lies
down to sleep, Fritz snuggles himself
beside him, and makes pillow of his
broad back. He follows him like a
shadow, sits By him at meal-times, aud
devides his food with him, Smith yiel.

extends this this infatuation to Smiths
possessions, and looks upon them as
his. Smith has treasured kennel of
his own-a kennel that he loves with
his whole heart. 1t is a small brick
cask, that stands raised upon bricks
under the mounting platform in the
yard. 1t has south aspect, gets all
the sun, commands the stable yard,
and from its elevated position gives to
its possessor a pleasant sense of dig

Electric Course Indicator.

The purpose of the electric holophote
course indicator, recently invented by Lord
Justice Clerk, is to provide means by
which ships may be able to indicate their
courses to one another, SO as more effectu-
ally to avoid risk Of collision.
It consists Of powerful electric light,
under the control of the ships officer.
When a vessel is on port helm the re-
f1ector behind the light is moved round by
a handle, so as to cause the pencil of light
to pass over the water from amidships to
the starboard side. This sweep of light
will necessarily move over that part of the
water over which the ship, on it's port
helm, will pass, and will thus give to any
vessel coming in an opposite direction dis
tinct warning of the helm the vessel is on
and the part of the water it will pass over.
The converse action of course takes place
when the vessel is on starboard helm.
This is the most effective preventative of
collisions that has yet been devised.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

The Fault Of the Typewriter.

l must tell you how my typewriter came
near losing me one Of my best friends. He
had written me asking me to do certain
thing if could do so without too much
bother. He assured me in the letter that
he didn't want to put me out in the least.
1t happened that could not do what he
asked me to do, although it was not on
account of any lack of disposition on my
part. In addressing him reply I did so
on my typewriter. met him few days
after and he said that had not disguised
the fact that his request was annoying and
he desired to apologize. I saw that he was
hurt and upon my pressing him for the
reason he pulled out my letter and handed
it to me. He directed me to read the first
the address portion. I did so. I had
addressed him "My Dear Bother" That
typewriter had dropped out the "r" in the
address. had meant to address him my
Dear Brother" 1t was long time before
I could make that man believe that !
hadn't considered him a bother instead of
brother.-Interview in Chicago Tribune.

An Ancient Manuscript.

NJ. Pozdneef, professor Of Oriental Ian
guages at the University of st. Peters
burg, has discovered in tho National
Library Of Paris Manchu manuscript
which is probably the most ancient known.
1t consists of 161 leaves of Chinese papyrus,
contained in four portfolios of yellow silk,
a circumstance which has led scholars to
believe that it belonged to an imperial
library. The heading on the title page has
been interpreted to mean "Book of Words

Some Things About Women.

A woman never forgets the people
who speak we'll of her husband or
praise her baby.
The first thing a woman notices
about a man is the color of his eyes.
She then looks to see whether he
blacks his boots.
Nearly every woman would rather
have YOU think well of her mind
than of her biscuit.

the house before they will begin tc

Iron as a Filtering Material.

A process of manufacture Of filtering
material is described as consisting essen
TALLY in reducing ferric oxide by heating
it in contact with gaseous fuel. Small
pieces of iron ore, preferably hematite, are
packed into a retort heated externally,
preferably by producer gas. When the
charge is at cherry red heat gaseous fuel
is admitted into the retort, and brought
into thorough contact with the ore. At the
end of four or five hours, if the exit gas be
inflammable, the process is finished and
the charge raked out and allowed to cool.

Lang on Rudyard Kipling.
andrew Lang's recent criticism of

Andrew Lang's recent criticism of
Rudyard Kipling, of which much is
said, includes this passage: "Mr. Kip
ling's latest novel, ''The Light That
Failed" is history of England and is
practically all slang. The men and wOm-
eli never for one sentence, never by
any chance, talk pure English. The
whole conversation is a mere jargon,
which, to a foreigner not we'll skilled in
the English vernacular of daily life,
would be hopeless puzzle out of which
no dictionary could help him. 1t is
all very clever, very spirited, very much
like the real English life of the class
the story describes and Of to-day, and
in its very realism an American might
find the easiest answer to Mr.. Kipling' S
charge about the OVERRIDING of slang in
the United States. If Mr.. Kipling's
dialogues were not true to life in certain
English society then Mr.. Kipling would
be still entitled to find fault with certain
American society. But if Mr.. Kipling's
English slang is genuine-andit is-why
talk of America as if it were the one
country on the face of the earth from
the lips of whose children comes forth
the language of slang ?"

PROGRESS.

1t is very important in this age of vast
material progress that a remedy be pleas
ing to the taste and to the eye, easily
taken, acceptable TO the stomach and
healthy in it's nature and effects. Possess
ing these qualities, Syrup Of Figs is the
one perfect laxative and most gentle
diuretic known.
The watermelon has got to be one of
the staple crops of Georgia, and the
reports Of acreage planted this year are
staggering to credulity.

of our readers TO the advertisement of the
CheSebrOugh Manufacturing Company,

known all over the world as the best
emollient, and the most valuable family
remedy in use. Their goods are sold by
druggists throughout the country, but we
wish to caution our readers, when buying,
to accept only goods in original packages,
and labeled Chesebrough Manufacturing
Company, as sometimes INSCRIPTIONS deal
erS try to substitute preparations which

Cultivating the Mustache.

A st. Louis man, says the Globe
Democrat, has for several years been
annoyed by a curious circumstance.
One side of his mustache grows about
twice as fast as the other, and if it is
neglected for a few weeks he will
suddenly notice that it is half an inch to
an inch longer on the left than on the
right. He is obliged to keep cutting it
off from time to time to make things
even. He had not the faintest idea
what caused the greater luxuriance on
the left until, some day ago, he asked
barber about it, and the man asked
him how his desk stood in relation to
the light. He replied that for years he
had occupied desk with a window on
his left, which at once explained the
difficulty. Hair, like vegetables, grows
best in the light, and ascertain1ng the
fact my friend at once had his desk
changed to the other side of the window
in order to give the right side Of his
mustache a chance to develop. He is
awaiting the result with some interest,
and if the change in growth shifts
with the light he is going to face the
window

On the Gate Post.

Abraham Lincoln was perhaps the best
man in the country in his day to re-
member men and to place them without
hesitation in the environment where he
last saw them.
When he was a comparatively young
man and acandidate for the Illinois Leg
islature, he took dinner with SangamOn
County farmer, and after the meal the
two stood at the barnyard gate talking
and whiting. Lincoln's knife needed
sharpening and the Yankee in him
prompted him to sharpen it.
He walked to a tool box the farmer
had nailed Just outside the wagon shed,
took from it milestone and then came
back to the great gate, where he stood
again and began sharpening his knife.
One post of the gate was very high,
and a rod from the top supported the
extended weight of the gate,
A man came along the road in wagon,
going in the direction Lincoln wanted
to travel, and the babe his host good
bye and clambered into the vehicle,
intent, no doubt, on getting another
vote.
Years afterward, when he was a resi-
dent, a soldier came to call upon him at
the White House, and at the first sight
the gaunt chief ex ecutive said:
les, remember you. You uSeu 10
live on the Danville road. l took
dinner with you one time when 1
was running for the Legislature.
Recollect we stood together out at the
barnyard gate and | sharpened my
knife?"
"Ya-as," drawled the farmer soldier,
''and wherever did you put that whet-
stone? Hooked the whole place over
dozen times, but | never could find it
after the day you used it. We lowed
mebby you had took it along with
you"
'No," said Lincoln, looking as serious
as the matter were as important as the
recent defeat of Pemberton, "no, |
put it on top of that gate post-the high
one"
"Wellv' exclaimed the visitor,
"mebby you did. Couldn't nobody
else have put it there and none
OF US ever thought to look there for
it."
He went on home, and when he got
there one of the first things he did was
to climb up ON the gate and look
for the milestone. 1t was there, right
where 1t had lain for Is years. The
honest fellow, adoring his chief, wrote
a letter before his fU1rlough expired
telling the President the milestone was
found and would never be lost again

Enamoured of man who-unwisely,

his admiration for the pretty type

he intended to marry the latter, and
vowing vengeance, had taken up her
abode in the same house with the inno-
cent girl, where, had it not been for the
fortunate circumstance of my meeting
her on the stairs, she would certainly
have carried out her scheme of vile and
secret murder. The poison she had
bought in another city, and the hole in
the partition she had herself cut. This
had been done at first for the purpose
of observation, she having detected in
passing by Miss Wilcox's open door

as to hide any aperture which might be
made there.
Afterward, when Miss Wilcox fell

glimpses through her loop hole that the
