God Owns the Church."

A small New Yorker. while on g
visit to his aunt, who lives in New
Hampshire town. Was taken to church
and Sunday school. As he entered the
church his aunt said:
Now. Georgie. ynu must remember
to be very quiet while in church. You
know that it is Gods house. and ht
would not like it if you did not behave
well"
The young man needed this admoni
ton and was quiet as lamb
Later he was taken into the Sunday
school room. Then again he was eau
toned.
''You must be very good while you are
in here, Georgie." said the aunt, "be
cause Elisha Brown, the superintendent
does not like little people who make any
noise"
Again the caution was well received
and young George was model of pro
priety.
When he reached home his mother in
quired how he had liked the church and
if he had been good boy
He behaved beautifully" said the
aunt, and the mother was much pleased
Young George said nothing just then
but a little later he amused everybody
by remarking, THE church belongs &c
God. but the Sunday school belongs u
Elisha Brown. ."-Chicago News

Count Pulaski's Horsemanship.

In the American army of the Revolu-
ton there were few who could equal
Count Pulaski either in horsemanshir
or as a swordsman. his feats were TIE
wonder and envy of his officers, and
many were the serious injuries received
in trying to initiate him. 1t is related
of him that, with his horse at full gal
lop-and he always rode magnificent
charger-he would discharge his pistol,
toss it in the air and catch it by the bar
rel, then hurl it at some object in ed
vance; and then, without in the least
checking the speed of his horse, he
would slip one foot from the stirrup,
and, bending over toward the ground,
recover his pistol and wheel into l.ne
with as much precision as though lie
were engaged in ordinary exercise

Stylosraphic lax.

Not every one knows the difference
between stylographic ink and ordinary
black ink. The stylographic ink i;
strained, so that all the minute particles
which are found in ordinary ink are re-
moved and it will flow freely through
the point of the pen in which it is used.
This process of straining also renders il
valuable in households where careless
people are likely to spill ink, and where
children go away to school in white
aprons, too often returning from their
writing lessons ink begrimed. Stylo-
graphic ink will wash out without diff
Guilty in clear cold water. It is the mi
mute particles of matter in unstrained
ink which become clogged in the fiber
of cloth and which render a stain from
it practically indelible
There are great many kinds of stylo-
graphic ink, but we believe they all pos
sess this excellent quality of washing
out if taken care of at once. Certainly
the first bleaching viii bring out all
remnants of the stain in white goods

An old Revolutionary landmark that

many years has attracted much atten
ton, is the Unruh House, standing south

red brick tiles of the roof, which were

GRAINS OF GOLD.

The only real good is the good of ali.
If you haven't much, you can double
it by being thankful.
Practice flows from principle; for as a
man thinks, so will ne act.
The pleasure of doing good is the only
one that never wears out.
The credit gained by lie lasts only
until the truth comes out.
The reward of doing one duty is the
power to perform another.
Don't talk much about yourself when
you want to be interesting.
Diversity of opinion proves that things
are only what We think them.
The man who has never been dissatis-
fed can never realize contentment.
The surest way to become poor in
earnest is to try to keep all you get.
Prepare for little trials, and you won't
have much trouble with the big ones.
Everybody who tries to make others
happy gets paid for it in heavens money.
The whole world is put in motion by
the wish for riches and the fear of pow
erty.
The people who would have done so
and 81, if they had been there, never get
there.
Little minds are tanned and subdued
by misfortunes; but great minds rise
above them.
How much easier it is to tell others
how they ought to walk, than 1t is to
step right ourselves
Advice is like snow; the softer it falls,
the longer 1t dwells upon, and the deep
er it sinks into, the mind.
If there has been no temptation, there
can be no merit; if there has been no
struggle, there can be no victory.
Action and care will wear down the
strongest frame; but guilt and melan-
choly are poisons of quick dispatch.
If people would stop looking in the
wrong place, they would find 1t great
deal easier TO stay in the right place.

Swiss Diamonds.

According to NJ. Daubree, the well
known French mineralogist, the dia-
mond issues from the infragranitic re-
gions of the earth's crust where periodot
is prevalent, for it arrives at the surface
along with that mineral and certain ser
pentine masses which result from the
transformation of the latter. The ini-
tation of this gem has reached great
perfection. A material named strass,
after its German discoverer, which is
made from rock crystal, boracic acid
and caustic potash purified by alcohol,
is now used for the artificial gems. They
are mostly made in Switzerland. Cool

Not So Safe After AL.

| "Do you see that tall. spare man lean
ing against the rail over there:" said
James Vance. steward of the Athenian
club. well, I'll tell you a little yarn
in which he played an amusing part.
Some years ago Haquette & Haggeman
got in a big safe, all gorgeous with paint
and glorious with impossible landscapes.
Ernest Haquette was very proud of it,
and in his busting. eager way would
show it to all old patrons of the place,
expatiating upon its merits.
''One evening he was engaged in show
ing party of gentlemen the wonders OF
the safe, and ran on: No burglar could
ever get into that, I tell you. He couldn't
open it in a week It's the safest safe III
this town, for money
"Oh. | don't know about that said
that tall man, who was then leaning on
the bar just as he is now leaning on the
rail. i don't think its so safe.
This startled Haquette a little. No
one had ever questioned that safe before
in that off hand way. He flushed lit
tie while the stranger regarded him non
chalantly. Haquette felt nettled and at
last biurted out:
I'll put $500 in that safe and if you
can get it out in six hours you can have
it. Axes. jimmies and all tools are al
lowed, but dynamite barred
"'TIl go you, said our tall friend.
Well just make it half an hour and no
tools however
"Haquette promptly dumped $500 into
a bag, put the bag into the safe and
turned the combination. There you
are,' he said defiantly.
The tail man got down on his knees
put an ear against the safe where the
tumblers work and began turning the
knob of the combination. He didn't say
word, but steadily clicked away. Ha-
quette began to sweat and step around.
''In twenty-three minutes the safe was
open. Our friend over there took the
bag of money, handed it to the dunn
founded Haquette and said cynically: i
don't want your Nancy. They salted
me for little job like that once. My
name is Ensign. '"-San Francisco Ex-

The Ancient Manufacture of Copper.

The ancient Syrians and Phoenicians
are well known to have been active
traders in copper, and they manufac
tured this metal into bronze by melting
it with tin. Learned antiquaries assure
us that the Phenicians actually came to
England ana to Ireland in search of tin
for this purpose, and a few years ago
some curious bronze articles were found
in several of the old mine workings in
Cornwall, which are believed to have
been left there by that ancient people at
time when no bronze was either made
or used in England.-ChamGers Jour

THERE are certain occupations which
predispose to the occurrence of con-
sumption. 1t is common among stone
masons, grinders and polishers of steel,
dressers of flax and feathers, straw plat
ers, iron and coal miners, tailors, anG
seamstresses In many of these the in
halation of foreign particles into the
lungs sets up irritation, which proves in
furious and deteriorates the constitution;
in Others the result is occasioned by the
combined operatisn of sedentary en-
ployment, impure air, exhaustive work,
and bad food. On the other hand, cooks,
butchers, tanners, tallow chambers, and
soap boilers enjoy to a great extent an
immunity from this terrible scourge.
They get good wages, and as conse-
quence have plenty to eat and drink,
whilst the constant contact with oil and
fat is probably not without its influence.
A consideration of these facts may in
some instances be of service in deciding
on the choice of an occupation.

A MANS occupation or condition has
a good deal to do with making his facial
expression. Intellectual pursuits, like
studies or the scholarly professions,
when coupled with temperate and moral
habits of life, brighten the face and give
n person superior look. Magnanimity
of nature, or love of studies and arts,
will make bright, glad face; but, con
frary to this,a man may have face that
does not please anybody, because of a
love of self to the exclusion of all others,
notwithstanding his learning and worthy
shrewdness. Soldiers get hard, severe
look, overworked laborers constantly
look tired. reporters look inquisitive,
,nathematicians look studiOus, judges
become grave even when off the bench,
the man who has had domestic trouble
looks all broken up.
