Rhubarb Wine.

Repeated efforts have been made
to manufacture rhubarb wine, and
some measure of success crowned the
labors of those who essayed making
a strong drink from the rhubarb
stalks; but the wine will never be
popular. 1t is pleasant, fragrant and
altogether a delicious liquor, but its
effects upon the digestion are said to
be harmful. Wine made of parsnips
is bad enough, but rhubarb wine,
especially to a man of sedentary
habits, is tolerably swift poison. =

Tine Best.

II we had only the larger vision that
can see all around we would perceive
that everything which happens to us is
the best that can happen. If it is some
thing very bad, then we learn from it to
avoid the mistakes and pitfalls that
tumbled US into the ditch the other time
Many a time, looking back in after
years to an unfulflled hearts desire of
long ago, we know beyond doubling
that it would have been our ruin if we
had obtained it. What we most wish
for is often the worst thing for US.
1t is absolutely certain that in the long
run the good and i'll of life are evened
up exactly. We always get precisely
what we earn, no more and no less. If
you stay poor it is because you have not
the executive ability to get rich. 1t was
Emerson who said that the highest test
of success was not wealth gaining, how
ever, but character building. This lofty
result everybody can secure. When all
seems to have failed you and the world
appears to be falling in fragments around
your head, do not rave or whine or de-
spair. Gather up your pluck and try
again, serene in the sure knowledge that
the best will come to you at last. 1t
surely will Whatever is best for US
fate sends to US. The failures we make
arise from the fact that we do not know
how to use the best when we get it. Rub
open your eyes, summon all your cour-
age and shrewdness and look for the gold
in the rock that has just hurled you
down. 1t is always there, dead sure.
Do your best; be honest and kindly to
all men. When you get down and are
inclined to despair, recall this from John
Burroughs:
Serene fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind nor tide nor sea;
rave no more 'gainst time fate,
For 10! my own will come to me.

wanted to dispose of some bees. So
as to attract purchasers he printed
the following placard: Extensive

trick succeeded to admiration, for
his stock brought high prices.-Phil-

Conductor Who Could and Would Fire
the General Manager.
Among the first railroads built in
the United States was a little line
about twenty miles in length, accord
ing to the Atlanta Constitution. In
the course of time a big tunnel line
was constructed through the same
country. The original line became
merely a branch. For many years it
was run in a cheap way, with one loco
motive, n engineer, and two or three
freight cars.
Finally a new general manager was
appointed. He had not been in office
but one week when he sent for the n
lone conductor, who had held the posi-
ton ever since the road was built.
Ct would like to have your resigna-
tion," said the general manager when
the conductor appeared.

ductor in establishment.

They Don't Have the Story-Book Kind OF
Love For Their Keepers.

They Don't Have the Story-BoOk Kind of
Love For Their Keepers.
Talking of elephants, you read a
good many fool stories about Them"
remarked Bill Newman, the veteran
trainer at the Madison Square Garden,
Yesterday afternoon. Stories that
don't go much on facts and a heap on
fancy"
The principal one of them, the n
you always see in the children's picture
books, is that the elephant truly loves
his keeper and will defend him at any
cost. I've been training the beasts for
over twenty-five years, and in all that
time I've met about five elephants that
would fight for the man who took car
of them.
kindness helps in a way, but the
only method to get and keep absolute
control over those animals is to use the
steel freely and for all it's worth.
"Once you earn their respect you're
safe as long as you choose to stay with
them, but once let them doubt your
| ability to control and punish them and
you'd better get your policy paid, for
you never know when you'll be sent
up the centre pole by a stamp or a
blow. Children are easy to bring up
compared with elephants. With the
former you can indulge in all sorts of
moods, but with the latter you must
preserve n tone at all times.
"a trainer who varies the treatment
of charges rewards them when they
ought to be punished, and Uice Uer8G,
won't live long. The beast unable to
reason out what's expected of him gets
worried, and generally ends matters
by laying out the gentleman who's an
noying him. This you can lay down
as a standard rule; if you ever let an
elephant get away with with a bluff no
matter how small IL is, you're never
safe after that.
Really bad elephants are few and
the majority of them have been made
so by dishonest trainers: These men
teach one particular animal In their
care to attack every one but themselves
and thus heighten their own value and
wide regulations for their valor in boss
ing an elephant that every body else
is afraid of.
do think that I will be killed in

N GIRLS WORK.

A few years ago a little girl applied
to a pastor in one of our large cities for
admission into his S~unday-school.
She was told that the classes were so
full there was no for her, and
that the church wasso small that no
more classes could be organized. Much
disappointed, the little girl began to
save pennies-her family was poor
for the purpose of ~enlarging the church
in order that she and other children
like her might be accommodated. She
told no one of her ambitious purpose.
however, so that when the pastor Of
this church was called to her bedside a
few months later, to comfort her in
her severe illness, he saw nothing unu-
sual, only a frail child of six and a half
years.
The little sufferer died, and a week
later there was found in her battered
red pocketboOk, which had been her
savings bank, f~ifty-seven perRiT, aud
scrap of paper that told, in g hldish
the story, of her ambitid n, and
he purpose of her self-denial.
