Infiammable Goods.


"My business here is to sell things. +"
remarked middle aged salesman to his
friend; as he made memorandum of a
cash sale in his book; "and of course |
expect to sell whatever goods people ask
for, if have them in stock. But do
wish they wouldn't come here and buy
Canton flannel for curtains and draper
les. There is nothing that l sell that
makes me SO uncomfortable as this.
have had some frightful experiences
with these goods, which l suppose have
made me unusually nervous about them.
There is nothing in the whole range of
dry goods SO infammable as the fine
grades of Canton flannel / have had
the house set on fire, repeatedly because
some one lighted a lamp in the vicinity
of avCanton flannel drapery. I used to
be very fond of this sort Of goods, but
there is nothing that would induce me
now to put up a yard of it in my house.
II you want to understand the occasion
of my fears, just take bit of the stuff
and hold it near the flame of a lamp.
The blaze will travel over it faster than
a prairie fire. have sometimes thought
l would positively refuse to sell the
goods, but people want them; and sup
pose no one would thank me for advice
on the subject. New York Ledger.

THE LIBERTY BELL

Where Congress met and Freedom flung
Its starry banner to the breeze,
Exultingiy its iron tongue
All thro' that summer morning sung
Our new born liberties.
1t told the ending of the night,
The happy dawn of freedoms day,
And overland there flashed light
OF Brotherhood and human right,
The end of kingly sway.
Oh. how the good old bell sang out
OF liberty and freedoms birthl
From east to west. from north to south
The message of its metal mouth
Rolled all around the earthi
It told the birthright of the race.
The glory of the brave and free,
And pealing from its sacred place
It set the whole wide world ablaze
With dreams of liberty.
Alas. it utters now no sound,
AA But vet its echoes ring sublime.
Its resting place is holy ground,
Where Freedom stalks in solemn round
,a Until the end of time. --asasa,sss .s..s.sss

Phosphorescent Infection.

The curious discovery has been mado
that the phosphorescence frequently ex-
hibited by many species of the crustacea
is infectious. A French naturalist, NJ.
Giard, has traced the phosphorescent
light in Talitrus to bacteria in the mus
cles, these muscles always showing
signs of disease. On inoculating healthy
individuals the same luminous appear
ance was produced. Each and every in
oculated specimen, however, died within
seventy-two hours.-St. Louis Republic.

Descendants of Some Noted Men.

1t is noteworthy what number Of
men eminent in the era 1S61-65 are now
represented only in the female line OF
descent. Neither Abraham Lincoln MOI
Jefferson Davis has living grandson
Neither has Andrew Jackson, Thurlow
Weed nor Horace Greeley. General
Hancock's one son left behind him only
a small daughter. There is no represen-
tative of General SCOTS name. A sin
gular parallel runs betwixt two Confed.
crate generals, Stonewall Jackson and
John Morgan, prince of raiders. Each
died before the war ended, leaving one
fair daughter. The two girls grew up,
married happily, bore each a daughter
and died soon after giving birth toa
second child.-New York Press.

College Girls After a Great Game

The Smith college girls were different
ly affected by Yale's victory over Har-
yard at the annual football game. Some
draped their rooms in black and went to
the church the next day dressed in deep
mourning, and one tasted all day Sun
day. Those who bet on Yale gave a
banquet, where the dishes were blue. all
the table decorations blue and the wall
paper one of solid blue, bought and put
up purposely for the occasion.-Boston

One Of the leading criminal law
yers in Atlanta says that nineteen
out of every twenty of the criminals
that have passed through his hands
during his torn have been led to
commit the crimes they were charg-
ed with through the use of liquor,
and he further states that forty. nine
out of every Fifty at present in the
changing got there solely through
drink. This is an awful showing.
Think Tor a moment. II it was not
tor the cursed saloon our Jail would
be almost empty and hundreds OF
homeless ard starving mothers and
children would not need to walk our
streets barefooted and in rags.
Think of the many happy homes
that would be again unltei if this
awful plague was only cleared from
our lair land. Southern Star.

LOVE OF MONEY.

The writer sat in crowded court
room the other day where a man
was on trial for most fiendish, dia-
bolical murder. He was man of
distinguished appearance, OF intelli-
gent face had moved in respectable
society, was physician, and at the
time the crime was committed far
past middle life. After long and
searching investigation he was toupd
guilty and brought before the judge
to receive sentence ofdeath. What
could have brought this man to
commit such crime? 1t was that
which inspires countless other sins
and crimes every day-the love of
money. How many thousands of
men there are who are ready to lie,
cheat or commit any sin to get
money They have undertaken to
live upon the extrayagant social
plane which makes more money than
they can honestly get an absolute
necessity, They have accustomed
themselves to round of costly in>
dulgences, to maintain which they
must defraud others of their earn
ings. They have begun to build
their social tower ambitiously, with
out counting the cost, and to CONF
plete it feel compelled into dishon-
est courses. Society, with its artifi-
cial demands, its show Of wealth, its
adulation of money, its contempt for
work, its heartlessness, its sneer at
conscience, its love of dissipation, is
the cause of untold crirse, as well as
of untold misery. If the temper
ance and simplicity of life inculcated
by the gospel were practiced by
those who are the protested follow
ers of Christ, much of this crime
would be abolished. How much |?
Would it be extravagant to say at
least one half?-Christian Standard.

Advice from Confucius.

That the use of tea was universal very
early in Chinese history is borne out by
one of the maxiins of Confucius, the
wisest man of China, when he said: "Be
good and courteous to all, even to the
stranger from other lands. If he say
unto thee that he thirsteth give unto him
cup of warm tea without money and

horror of horrors, lifted up her pretty face
to be kissed!
Mrs. Blessington's Indignation boiled
over She raised her skirts and hounced
into her carriage, mutterng what sounded
like 'disgraceful conduct and took her
seat Mrs. PrOtheroe was choking. but con-
trOled herself sufficiently to say, very
sweetly, with her foot on the step:

Not word was spoken by the occupants
Of the brougham for some time. and then
Mrs. BleSSington said. plaintively: YOa
told ME his name was Carpenter. 1t wasn't
fair"
His name is Carpenter" replied Mrs.
Protheroe. He had to take the name when
he came Of age two years ago and inherited
property from his great uncle. Yes, you
may be incredulOuS. but assure YOU he is
my son. born when / was 10. He is now
more than %. so you can make a calculation
and see that l was quite justified in telling
you that | might be a grand mother by

Mrs. Blessington herself could hardly have
surpassed she added: Il should have told
you this long ago but that | saw from the
very first, almost before You even knew my
name, that you had formed harsh aud I'M
just opinion of me and my conduct. Was
that fair? You saw my Johnnie and saw
his brother going about with US every
where. Can You, could any woman with
pure mind, suppose that ] could look
into Johnnie's frank, innocent eyes and
at the same time be guilty of conduct
that would ever cause him to blush
for his mother? You may have meant to
be kind, and TO do good. but cannot help
thinking that the exercise of small amount
of the charity that 'thinketh no evil would
do more to counteract ill-doing among your
fellow-creatures than the make believe of
fTlendlness which consists in giving hints
and warnings and words of advice
against behavior ia which only an impure
aud narrow mind could see anything wrong

demands"
Mrs. Marmaduke Blessington said never
WORD. and next day found urgent business
calling her to town. But from that hour
whenever there vas a question OF youthful
appearance she quoted Mrs. Protheroe:
WAS past 40, my dear. and looked eight and
