The cause of the formation of gallstones
Is not known. Age and sex have some
thing to do with it. Most cases occur after
the age of thirty-fve, and women are much
more liable to the ailment than men. Prob
ably high living and sedentary habits are
in some way determining factors.

VACATION.

The summons of the evening calls
Across her silences the bird,
And homeward ere the cool dew falls
Winds slowly back the joyous herd
Through grasses deep. And homes are riff
With faint commotion; footsteps go
Like little bars of music; life
Is rising to its purest flow.
/ catch the voices and the CLEANS,
And, half unconscious, hnger late
Amid the dust, and fashion dreams,
And hear my angel murmur, Waltz

HOW Ham1in Converted an enemy.


Hannibal Hanlin had avery strong politi-
cal enemy at Hampden, whose political op-
position was carried to the extreme of per
sonal hate. When the rebellion had be-
come fact and military lines were estab-
lished requiring passes to cross from the
north to the south, this enemy of Hamlin
found himself in dilemma. A daughter
of his lived near Fortress Monroe and he
was extremely anxious to visit her. He
knew that he must get pass from the Sec
rotary of war to crafty his wish. He knew
nobody to whom he could apply for it ex-
cept Hamlin, and he did not wish to ask
aid of the man he had done so much to in
jure. There was no alternative, however,
SO with fear and trembling he approached
the then vice president. Hamlin heard his
request and then said in his characteristic
way:
'Jim, you know you have done every
thing to injure me. You forget the old
school copy that we used to write from
1T is long road that has no turn How
can you ask me to help you?"
eyes, squire" was the abashed response,
81 did quite wrong. / am sorry, but"--
"Well, Jim," Hamlin interrupted, am
going to do you Bible justice. am going
to heap Goals of fire on your head Come
with me-"
They went to Mr.. Stanton's house and
the vice president procured the pass and
gave it to Jim, telling him he need have
no further anxiety as he could now get
his daughter up to her Maine home. Jim
broke down completely 1t is needless to
say that Mr. Hamlin made a convert for
himself by that act.-New York Times.

The Typical Modern City.

Paris is the typical modern city. In the
work of Transforming the labyrinthine
tangle of narrow, dark and foul medieval
alleys into broad, modern thoroughfares,
and of providing those appointments and
conveniences that distinguish the well or
ordered city Of our day from the oldtime
cities which had grown up formless and
organizes by centuries of accretion-in this
brilliant Nineteenth century task of recon.
structing cities in their physical charac-
tiers, dealing with them as organic entities
and endeavoring to give such form to the
visible body as will best accommodate the
expanding life within, Paris has been the
unrivaled leader.
Berlin and Vienna have accomplished
magnificent results in city making, and
great British towns-Glasgow, Birming-
ham, Manchester and others-have in a
less ambitious way wrought no less useful
reforms, but Paris was the pioneer. French
public authorities architects and engineers
were first to conceive effectually the ideas
of symmetry and spaciousness, of order
and convenience, of wholesomeness and
cleanliness in urban arrangements.-Dr.
Albert Shaw in Century.

Pneumatic Tool Driving.

The application of pneumatic power to
calking, stone cutting and similar uses
has resulted in great economy of time
and labor. Rotary cutting tools driven by
compressed air have been used to consid
cradle extent by stonecutters in this coun
try, and in England both stone cutting and
the calking of ship and boiler plates are
very largely done by tools of similar
character.
For ship and boiler work very ingenious
tool is used, in which the calking tool is
given vibratory back -and-forth motion
at the amazing speed of $1,000 strokes pei
minute. The motive power is compressed
air at a pressure of forty pounds to the
square inch. This acts on a plunger vary
ing from one to three inches in diameter,
according to the power of the tool and the
purpose for which it is intended, and a
very rapid vibratory motion is given by
alternating the admission of the air to the
two ends of the plunger.-New York Jour
nal.

St. Louis Not a Literary Center.

'"This is strange old city in a literary
way" said St. Louis man. st has only
few book stores whose proprietors con
template more in the light of patriots than
as practical men expecting profits from
sales. Very few st. Louisians buy books
They wait for the cheap editions to reach
the public libraries and then make rush
for them. And the libraries of eof our
homes are frightful to contemplate. Think
of a library without dictionary or an en-
cyclopedia in it.
''The average St. Louis library is made
up in this order: First, complete set OF
Dickens works; second, complete set of
Thackeray's works; third. Motley's His
tory of the Dutch Republic fourth, Pres
colts histories; fifth, Byron in several
kinds of fancy binding and gilt edges,
sixth, Shakespeare in ditto; seventh,
Moore and Scott, ditto. Here the list prac-
tically ends, and all the rest can be classed
as unknowable miscellany, odds and ends
Of old trash brought down from gener
atoms or received as holiday pregents.
''And the worst of it is, the prime object
of a library appears to be the ability to say
we have one, for l have noticed that most
of our people who have these adornments
lock them up and borrow Southworth and
Braeme from the public libraries. Yet we
are all critics!''-St. Louis Republic

A Human lightning Calculator"

Mr.. W. P. White, living near Liberty
square, who ia twenty-three years of age,
has been surprising the people of Lancaster
City by some wonderful exhibitions of his
skill as lightning calculator He can
solve any problem in addition, multiplied
ton or division mentally almost instantly,
and the city dailies have been publishing
some of his wonderful calculations. When
asked to multiply 6,7s9 by 457 he answered
3,102, 573, and those who resorted to pencil
and paper to test the accuracy of the young
mans reply found it was correct.
He had no trouble in instantly telling
that 14.646, $50 is the product of %, 4S4 null
tiplied by 625. When asked to multiply
47.S65 by 3,697 he hesitated. After study
ing a moment he said it must be about
17,000000. II can see," said he, $500 in
the multiple very plainly, but the last fig
ures, 81, bother me-" Finally, however, he
said that the correct answer must be 176,-
956, 905, which was right.
Fractions do not discomfort him. When
asked to multiply 9S 1-3 by 65 Is he gave
the answer without hesitation. He was
also asked to multiply 217 by itself, then
multiply the product by 218 and that prod
uct by "a. More quickly than his inter
rogator could put the figures on paper he
gave GHc COIIcCb answer, w., 44S, DOC, oUO
Whites capacity for manipulation Of
figures is abnormally developed He is
mathematical phenomenon. His precocity
was first observed when he was nine years
old. His father, George White, of Liberty
square, this county, was ciphering at the
value of quarter Of beef, when Willie,
hearing how many pounds there were and
the price, promptly gave the correct
amount.
The young man does not undertake to
explain the process by which he almost in
simultaneously arrives at results which Or
dinarily are reached with the aid of pencil
and paper and the expenditure of consider
able time.
In reply to a query he said, 'sIt is nat
ural gift; that is all l know about it."
The figures propounded appear to his mind
as a picture on canvas, and more quickly
than it takes to tell it the answer is mir
rored there also. In other processes of
mathematics aside from multiplication
White evinces no special aptitude.-Little
Gazette.

A senseless Though Courteous ouestie

A Senseless Though Courteous Question.
SIS this seat engaged" Every one who
trayeis mp and down the suburban railway
lines is familiar with this senseless phrase,
asked, in all probability, thousand times
day. When a person who has paid his
or her fare sees vacant place in the car
he or she has as much right to occupy it as
a chair at home. There is no need to ask
the other person if the seat is engaged, for
it is not, and cannot be, though bundles
and wraps are piled mountain high on it.
People who believe they are showing GER
tain courtesy by the question are singularly
at fault.
Even custom does not sanction foolish
ness, and IL is foolish to be polite" in the
wrong place and atthe wrong time. If the
seat is engaged and the temporary owner
is absent, there is not the least doubt that
you will be informed by the other occu-
pant. Therefore, take what seat you hap
pen to fancy in public conveyance and
don't be silly and ask. SIS this engaged~

TEXAS.

A sea of land There is no restful shore,
M dear green tree to glad the straining eye;
But, stretching till it cuts the arch Of sky,
The plain In pillows rolls; and evermore,
Like rush Of mighty pinions, sweep and soar
The winds from vast gulf fields; while swing
ing high
The white sun pours his light till earth Is
dry,
And pale wild grasses shrivel to the core.
Far lost from cooling streams green leas
Huge bleaching bones lie scattered wide
about;
Mysterious as the serpent of the seas,
The two black rails sweep up and vanish out.
Mirage of orchard slopes, the gnarled mesquite
Makes mockery of homes and hopings sweet.
