SUBJECTS FOR THOUGHT.

Dressing conspicuously is confession
Of inferiority.
II l wanted to punish an enemy l
would fasten on him the torture Of con-
tinually hating some one.
Since I cannot govern my tongue,
though within my own teeth, how can l
hope to govern the tongues Of others?
Write your name in kindness, love
and mercy on the hearts of thousands
you come in contact with for year, and
you will never be forgotten.
Mankind worships success, but thinks
too little of the means by which it is at
tained-what days and nights Of watch
ing and weariness how year after year
has dragged on, and seen the end still
far off ; all that counts for little II the
long struggle does not close in victory.
Activity is life, stagnation is death.
Keep yourself actively occupied il you
want to be healthy husband your means
if you want to become wealthy. Be lib
eral if you want to have friends; remem-
ber that friendship is often of far greater
value than gold. To achieve great sue
cess, you must be courageous; a timid
man is defeated at the very outset.
A person who has. formed his temper
and disposition of mind after right
model, who is humble, meek, cheerful
and contented, can commonly find a
convenient shelter when overtaken by
the storms of life. 1t should therefore
be our early lesson to subject the pas
sions, appetites and desires to the con-
troll and guidance Of reason. The first
arc the gales to impel us in the voyage OF
life. but the last ought to sit at the helm
and direct our course.

Why He Did Not Sneak,

During the first part of the session
of the Fifty-second congress, speak

General Hooker said:
after being first elected to con-
gress, remained upon the floor of
the house two or three months with
out opening my mouth. My distin-
guished and lamented friend, Samuel
j. Randall, of Pennsylvania, was
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations. He had introduced GER
tain bill and it had been reported
back from his committee. I told
some friends that l would be glad of
an opportunity to discuss the bill.
They went to Mr.. Randall and said,
There is a member here who would
like to say few words on the mat
ter which is under debate
"Mr. Randall turned around,
closed one of his eyes, as was his
habit, and scrutinized me very close
ly. He looked me all over and asked,
Is that the man9'

wants to speak, Mr.. Randall.

Thirty or forty years ago, perhaps
even more than now, the queens
messenger was q parsonage of first
importance on the road, claiming
the earliest attention from guards
and portoIs, civility and expedition
at every customs frontier, and the
best places in train and steamboat.
In the present day, travelling always
by train among the ever increasing
crowd of tourists, the comfort and
prestige of journey with dispatches
is somewhat on the wane, and ex-
cept in times OF war the adventures
of the queens messenger are re-
duced to the possible chance of
railway smash.
Only a few years have passed,
however. since most of the habitues
of the mail route between London
and Paris must have been familiar
with the bluff and burly presence of
Major x, the Ajax of the corps of
queens messengers, and hero of
hundred tales. We can see him now,
striding from the train to the boat
at Dover, followed by two porters
bearing the dispatch bags. Passen-
gers scatter right and left as he calls
in loud, commanding tones, Broom
for her majesty's dispatchesl" and
the little procession, headed by the
major, steps across the gangway and
finds its way to the proper reserved
cabin. Quarterly Review.

Some of the rules proposed by an
English judge for adoption by the
council Of judges are: THAT judges
shall commence business at the time
appointed for the sitting of the
court, or at least not more than fif-
teen minutes after such time; that a
judge of tde court of appeals shall
not interrupt counsel more than six
times in the space of five minutes,
other judges not more than three
times in the same space of time /;
that judges when they adjourn in
the middle of the day for quarter
of an hour shall return to court at
the end of a quarter of an hour, or
at least not more than half an hour
after that time. The judges shall
not sleep when on the bench for
more than half an hour in the course
of the day; and when two judges
are sitting together they shall not
both sleep at the same time. "-Green

Estim ating Ago.

Two women, apparently returning
home from matinee performance,
hustled into the car and seated them
selves near the door They were
carrying on an earnest conversation,
and the radical difference in their
voices made the conversation anus
ing to the other passengers. One of
the women talked on very high
key and the other scarcely spoke
aloud. Every word uttered by the
high keyed talker could be heard in
any part of the car, but not sound
could be heard from the lips of the
whispering woman. just after they
had taken their seats every ear in
the car was saluted with the shrill
exclamation, well, let me tell you
that she is sixty if she is a day.
There was whispered response, ac-
companied by deprecatory facial
expression. Then came another
sharp and clear cut sentence, "Well
she certainly is fully forty-fve"
The quiet woman shook her head
at this and said something in an I'M
dertone which elected the shrill dec
laration, 'Pshaw! she is thirty at
any rate" The passengers were
deeply interested by this time and
they watched the face of the whis-
pering woman to see whether she
was willing to subscribe to the last
statement No, she was not, and al
though her remonstrance was in
audible it must have had weight, for
her loud voiced companion promptly
dropped off few more years and as
serted, Very well, you ought to
know, but don't believe that she is a
day under twenty-five. New York

A comical mishap befell a young
lady at her first dinner party. Nat
urally she was somewhat nervous at
first, but the awkwardness wore
away after little, and she was soon
quite at ease. The dessert was being
served, and the stately colored wait
ers were passing preCUy little pink
frosted cakes, to be eaten with the
iced creams. A plate of them was
held before the young lady, who
looked them over and said, II don't
care for any" The waiter was NOV
ing away when she saw, as she
thought, an eclair on the farther side
of the plate. She was fond of choco-
late. "Yes, l will, too," she said,
reaching over for the eclair; there
is one with chocolate on it," beg
pardon, miss" said the waiter, as
she tried to pick up the tempting
morsel; beg pardon, miss, but that's
my thumb. Rochester Democrat.

Helping Old Trees.

Old trees that begin t, show the
ravagcs of time may be helped in
various ways. A lady who loves her
trees as if they were human beings
says that when she secs one of her
favorites less fourishing tlan usual
she always administers a tonic of
some kind. To very old trees she
gives doses of sulphur by means of
holes bored in the trunk which are
filed with the powder and then
cemented. With younger ones she
tries various kinds of fertilizers; and
in the case of one gigantic old oak
that was hollow with age she filled
the decayed places with cement just
like a tooth, scraping out the ac-
cumulated rubbish and filing the
cavity to the surface. This she said
was a great success and evidently
prolonged the life of the old mon
arch for many years. New York

How a Bit of News Started.

A Scarborough Clergyman on open
ing his newspaper the other day
found therein an utterly unfounded
statement to the effect that his con-
sort had presented him with triplets.
He Immediately caused inquiry to be
made as to the source of this astound-
ing story, and he found it was as fol
lows: His married daughter and her
children had arrived at his house on
a visit; the event had been described
by one neighbor to another as an ad-
dition of three to the minister's fam
lily, by the natural law of evolution
that was transformed into a case Of
triplets, ard local correspondent
getting held of the story sent it in
that form to the newspapers. Lon

JAPANESE ASTRONOMY.
Their Queer Day and the ytrSJrdinary
Clock That Measured IT,.

Their Queer Day and the Extraordinary
Clock That Measured IT,.
Long before Japan was opened to
foreigners did the Japanese possess
eminent astronomical knowledge and
a zodiac of their own. Their year
began with or ist of February and
ddl twelve months. The day was
divided III different manners; the
military counted, like our sailors, by
watches !" the priests by divisions" "
which were marked by the striking
of very large bells suspended in their
high temples, a custom which is still
in vogue; and finally the lay ele-
ment, the population, rcckoned by
hours"
They began the day, which was di-
vided into twelve hours, at sunrise
and ended it after sunrise. Since the
length Of the day is a constantly
varying one each month was, for
simpli1ication calculated into mean
length, and this length of day estab-
Eshed for the whole month. The
Japanese evinced a high degree Of
science by these calculations.
Their clocks were of two kinds
the so called long clock, with hand
fastened to the descending weight.
and marking time upon an upright
dial, and the ''round clock" with
movable dial and fixed hand, or fixed
dial and movable hand. To regulate
the division of hours for the varying
length of the different months many
very ingenious contrivances and CON
st1'uctions were used. The matter
was comparatively easy with the
long clock.
Six dials, shortened according to
the falling height of the weight on
hand, were each divided into two
parts, corresponding to the length of
day and night; each of these parts
into twelve subdivisions, the hours.
Only six such dials were necessary,
since, by reversion, dial used for a
summer month could be used for the
opposite winter month. At the be-
ginning of every month the CORE
spending dial was inserted under the
hand connected with the falling
weight and replaced by the next fol
lowing at the end. The greatest
length of the day was fifteen and the
shortest nine of our hours, and,
owing to the contracted space of the
falling weight, it had to be wound
every morning.
To use the clock during the night
time, the dial was reversed, and the
weight wound up. 1t is singular
that the japanese, in spite of this
clock furnished with rachel wheel,
pendulum and weights, did not en-
ploy the spring as a motive power,
but simply used for striking on clock
bells. The round clocks were pro-
vided with weights working upon
levers, for retaining different length
of days. 1t is said that these con-
structions were very excellent, and
very reliable clocks were produced

In "She Stoops to Conquer" act
", occur the words spoken by Tony,
II have got you pair of horses that
will fly like Whistlejacket." | have
never seen this explained, but have
no doubt that the reference is to
a race horse, famous in its day,
named Whistlejacket, which be-
longed to Lord Rockingham. 1t ran
at York and Newmarket in l754, and
had a clean record of victories. AS
Goldsmith's play was not produced
till 1873, there would be ample op

Nh SCIENCE of tanoaiion.

There is TO science of education.
There are many theories, and there
is an ast of education. Every true
teacher is and must be an artist,
working on the most plastic of ma
terials, and changing her methods as
the state of the material gives notice
to her practiced mental eye that
change is needed. 1t is this fact
which makes experience of SO much
value in the profession, and this
which makes the problem of normal
schools SO difficult. 1t is only the
quickened insight of a mind original
ly fit for the work which can deter
mine the mcntal state to be dealt
with at the moment, and can then
select. out of all the means at com
mand, the very question or the very
explanation that will enable the
childs mind to take hold of the truth
to be conveyed.
The maker of Damascus blades
cannot tell you how be knows that
the steel has had exactly the re-
q,Ired amount of heat. He secs the
color and he knows; that is all there
is of it: If you do not see it, he can
not help you any moro than the
laundress can tell you how hot the
iron must be for the material she is
going to put it on. She holds it to
her face or touches it with wet finger
and decides. The cook puts her
hand into the oven and sGys that we
must wait little longer before set
ting the bread in, and she is right.
The problem of real teaching is of
this order, only more complicated
because of the material; for steel
and cloth and dough can be depended

the human mind has left to it free
