Philosophy Up to Date.

Many of the disappointments Of
life come from mistakiny acquaintan-
ces for friends.
The desire for social supremacy is
one OF the most pitable weaknesses
in human nature.
Distrust makes miserable those who
cherish it. Confidence is good thing
no have, even ii it is sometimes
abused.
The esotist is, in most cases, the
man who has the least reason to be
one.
Revenge is sweet, but foregoing it is
sweeter.
a quarrel between man and wife as
sumes its most serious aspect when q
third party interferes who has moth.
ing to do with it.
In friendship between Two women,
there is either q man at the beginning
orat the end of it.
The waves OF woman's handker-
ceief have wrecked many q man.
Ii you have 4 handful OF truth you
wish to communicate to recalcitrant
friend it is discreet only to open one
finger at q time.
Victor Hugo put it very felicitously
when he said that 40 was the old age
oiyouth, but that so was the youth
Of old age.
A woman too often reasons from
her heart. Hence two-thirds OF her
mistakes are troubles.

Origin of TapeStry,

Tapestry came originally from
Byzantium, where its weaving was
brought to high state OF perfection.
Its expense, like that OF all wall car
wing and stucco, was very great.
Stamped leather, which in a measure
superseded it, was also costly and
possible only to the very wealthy.
This stamped leather consisted OF the
skins OF goats and calves cut into rec
tansular shapes and covered with sill
Yer leaf, then vanished with yellow
lacquer to give the appearance OF
gold.

Famous Poets Losing Ground.
Many OF the poets are fast losing
their popularity. Macaulay long ago
testified to the fact that Bvron's fame
was waning and has waned still more
perceptibly in our line. His fair and
sensuous frailties are nauseating to
modern taste. His pessimism is cheap
now. His moral leprosy permeated
his poetry, making sentiment deiormf
ed and inverting the proper conception
oflife. His apostrophe ITO the Ocean,"
the elsie of Greece" the "Battle o,
Waterloo" will live as long as litera-
ture' but his poetry, for the most
part, will die because it deserves to
die. AS for the other poets who are
approaching the Valley OF the Shadow
at least Campbell, White Chattetdon
are no longer giants, and the martial
odes OF Macaulay are very tasteless
reading.

WHAT ARE DlA7OMs2
Curious Little Plants Which Cannot
Be Seen Without the Aid Of the
MICROSCOPE,

Curious, Little Plants Which Cannot
Be Seen Without the Aid Of the
Microscope.
The plants in question are so small
as to be seen only with the aid OF the
microscope; those OF ordinary size,
when magnitied about three hundred
and fifty diametcrs, appear about a
quater OF an inch long. Others are
much larger. They are curious little
plants with q silica shell, which, in
certain places, is provided with little
apertures through which living parts
OF the plant protrude. In this way
they are enabled to move about freely
in the water by which they are gener-
ally surrounded, for, though they are
not all strictly water plants, they all
need considerable water to enable
them to thrive, and so are always
found in wet places.
Owing to their freedom OF motion
they were at one time supposed to be
ANIMALS. Now it is known that they
are plants: as they can perform all
the functions OF plants, and no ami
NAL, with all his superiority, high ma
ture, ETC., is able to do this. They
are found everywhere in all inhabited
countries, and in fact all over the
seas, soft may be readily granted that
q plant so common and widespread
IS this should be quite familiar to
every one.
Again, not only are the living plants
SO widespread and common, but the
shells OF the dead ones remain intact
for many years; and in certain locali-
ties these tiny shells are so numerous
as to form a large portion OF the soil.
Some OF the best known OF these To-
calitles are the sites OF Richmond,
Va, and Berlin in Germany.-Emily
L. Gregory, in the Popular Science
Monthly.

DANTE AND BEATRICE.

His footsteps guide up from abysmal Hell

Why Lost People Walk In Circles.
The fact that people lost on a des-
ert or in a forest invariably wall1in
circle is due to slight inequality in the
legs. Careful measurements OF a
series OF skeletons haye shown that
only 10 per cent had the lower limbs
equal in length; 35 per cent had the
right limb longer than the left, while
in So per cent the left leg was the
longer. The result OF one limb being
longer than the other will naturally
be that q person will, unconsciously,
take longer step with the longer
limb, and consequently vii! trend to
the right or to the left, according as
the left or right leg is the longer, unless
the tendency to deviation is corrected
by the eye.
The lett leg being more frequently
the longer, as evidenced by measure
ment Of the skeleton, the inclination
should take place more frequently to
the right than to the left, and the
conclusion is quite borne out by
OOSefEaUlOLS lutue Oh a. numOer OF
persons when walking blindfolded.
Further, on measurement OF the arms,
it is found that in 70 per cent the
right arm is longer than the left;
while in 81 per cent the left arm is the
longer, showing that a considerable
majority OF persons are right-handed
and left-legged. The inequality in
the length OF the limbs is not confined
to any particular sex or race but
seems to be universal in all respects.

CINCINNATI, Nov. ID. The t:ial of Rev.
Mr.. Smith, professor in the Lane (Presby-
terian) theological seminary, on the charge
of heresy, began here this morning. Prof.
Smith made objection to Messrs. Drawson.
Robertson or Francis sitting as jurors or
judges, these ministers having publicly de-
olared they believed him guilty. His OBJ
lection. however, was overtuled. Prof.
Smith then began to present his case. lie
argued against the regularity of the pro-
ceedings and charged that the committee
was preiudiceu, appointed to represent one
opinion only. This, he declared, was
avowed in open presbytery by the moder-
ator in making the appointment, and it
was further evident from the form of the
report itself Tue professor set forth sew
erai other reasons why the proceedings
were irregular, and reminded the court OF
the necessity for extreme caution in deter
mining questions presented to it, No pre-
viously formed opinions should overrule
the process of reason. He alleged that tn.
charges against him were insufficient anc
asked that they be stricken out.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-William c. Whitney,
of New York, will be premier of President
Cleveland's 8 second administration. Benja-
min L. Gable, of illinois, will be rendered
the navy portfolio. In case he does not
care to assume tho responsibilities Of the
secretaryship, he will dictate the appoint
ment. but there is little doubt that the dis
tinguished Illinoisan will take place in
the presidents official family. The fore
going statements are made on the higheht
authority, and come direct from the presi-
dent-elect to a gentleman now in Chicago
and high in the party's councils.
Mr. Cleveland's prompt decision to rec
opnize the claims of Illinois and Mr.. Cable's
effective work during the campaign was
received with unbounded satisfaction by
the few party leaders who were tonight
made aware of it. No less praise was given
for the selection of Mr.. Whitney for secre-
tary of state.
Mr.. Cables aid in the democratic cause
in Illinois and tho northwest was not con
fined to the direction of the branch COM
mittee's work. The money was needed
and Mr.. Cables personal contribution to
the 100000 fund promised in this state In
the event of Adlai +. Stevenson's nomina-
ton was exactly $60.0O0 But $1,000 of the
remainder promised $780, 600 was paid over
to the committee. Throughout the entire
campaign Mr.. Gable was embarrassed by
the need of funds. He was forced to draw
continually on his own personal account
This he did uncomplainingly. His disln-
| terestedness and loyalty to his party deeply
moved Mr.. Cleveland and he hasteped tc
make known his determination to suitably
express his appreciation. In communica
ton received in this city tonight Mr.
Cleveland indicates his wishes in terms tina
cannot be mistaken.
