Thin Mans Misery.

The Mammoth Cave has narrow, tortu-
GUS passage called Fat Mans Misery"
London seems to have one that proved a
thin mans misery:
Of Mr.. Murphy, one of the counsel for
the Times in the Parnell Commission, an
amusing story is told. Mr.. Murphy, who
is stout man, was once in the company of
some younger men of the law, among them
slim barrister. The talk was of the bar
rister's 1eetness of foot; and. to the general
surprise, Mr.. Murphy maintained that he
could race any man present if he got yard
start, and was allowed to select the race
course. When it was seen that this was no
mere joke. the barrister smilingly accepted
the challenge. Great was his humiliation,
however, for Mr.. Murphy chose as the
scene of the race certain narrow passage
in the Law Courts where his competitor
could not get past him.-Selected.

Engine Building as Described by a
Young Lady.

Young Lady.
We find in Power the following from a
young lady's description of how steam
engine is made. according to her study of
the subject during visit to the Payne En-.
gine Works at Elmira. N. Y:
You pour lot of sand into a box, and
throw lot of old stoves and things into a
fire. and empty the molten stream into a
hole in the sand, and the men all yell. and
it's awfully dirty and smoky. And then
you pour it out and let it cool and pound it.;
and then you put it in thing that goes
round. and try to break it; then you screw
it to thing that goes back and forth. that
you can ride on, and that scrapes it and it
squeaks; then you put it in thing that
turns it round, and you take chisel and
cut it; theu you put it in a thing that bores
holes in it. Then you screw it together and
paint it, and put steam in it, and it goes
awfully; and they take it up in the drafting
room and draw picture of it, and make
one of wood just like it. And, oh, forgot
they have to make boiler. One man
gets inside and one gets outside, and they
pound just terribly; and then they tie it to
the other thing-and. oh. you just ought to
see it 90!

Gleanings.

Certainly mans wicked angel is in money.
Fidelity is seven tenths of business and
success.
The world is hungry for genuine, kindly
sympathy.
The ground between right and wrong is
always battle ground.
Have you purpose and plan? Life is
never worth while till then.
Genius is only protracted patience: pa
tience that persists in spite of repeated fail.
ureS.
1t is very dangerous for man to find any
spot on earth that is sweeter to him than
his home.
Every day is little life. and our whole
life is but day repeated. If we live each
day as though it were our last. life can but
be grand success.
If you have friend tried and true, stick
to him. He may not be rich, or great. or
influential. but if he is perfectly reliable,
this quality is better than all others.
Energy will do everything that can be
done in this world; and no talents, no cir
cumstances, no opportunities will make a
two legged animal man without it.

he blandly assured them that he was taking
nothing away from his majesty's kindOm-
mot even the smallest regret" Though,
separated they still cOrrespOnded, and at
the opening of the Seven Years War Vol

lose whatever fame and territory he had
hitherto acquired. And indeed it was hard
to see how it could be otherwise surround

Lobositz. the first battle of the Seven
Years. War revealed to Frederick that it
was not the old Austrians he had to contend
with; and, although he won it, it was with
great sacrifice of his troops. The bat
tie of KOllD he lost by his own temerity.
His army was now so discouraged and him
self so respondent that all hope seemed
lost. He continually carried poison on his
person to put an end to his own life in case
of falling into the hands of the enemy.

the close of 1857 he won Leuthen-the

Kollin. Frederick camped right under::Daun's
nose and the latter fell upon the Prnssians
in the night with great slaughter. Next
followed KunersdOrf which he lost also.
Here he said that they had but to give him
the finishing stroke and he was done.
Nothing daunted. he next attacked the
allied armies numbering ninety five thou
sand men with his forty three thousands,
and won the battle of Liegnitz. Then fol-
lowed TOrgau. Burkersdorf, Schweidnitz,
and Freiburg. all of which he won.
Thus in 1862 this shaker of Kingdoms"
found himself triumphant over the malice
of POmpadour, the hatred of Maria Theresa
and the intrigues of Elizabeth of Russia, or
to give it in his own words as he afterward
wrote, 1.-The ridiculous Soubse and the
sleepy Daun, and the whole crowd of
princes and harlOts with their hundreds
upon thousands of soldiers we're not able to
get the better of me-" LACON.

There is often striking contrast between
a mans style of writing and of talking-for
which offer this explanation: He ponders
when he writes; he talks without system.
AS an author, therefore, he is sententious;
as cOnversatiOnalist. loose and verbose
or the reverse of this may be true.
Wisdom comes to us as guest, but her
visits are liable to sudden termination. In
our efforts to retain the wisdom we have
acquired, an embarrassment arises like that
of the little boy who was scOlded for having
a dirty nose. ''BlOw your nose, Sir"
Papa. I do blow my nose, but it won't stay
blowed."

We vince under little pains. but Nature
in US. through the excitement attendant
upon them. seems to brace us to endure with
courage great agOnies. A curious circum.
stance. that will serve as an illustration of
this. is told by an eminent surgeon of per-
son upon whom it became necessary to per-
form painful surgical operation. The
surgeon after placing him in position tav-
orable to his purpose. turned for moment
to write prescription; then. taking up the
knife. he was about making ian imminent
deadly breach" in the body of his subject.
when he observed an expression of distress
him. "What disturbs you?" he inquired.
"Oh," said the sufferer. ''you have left the
pen in the inkstandw and this being removed,
he submitted to the operation with extra
ordinary composure.

"A BUILDERS LESSON.

''How shall q habit break?"
AS you did that habit make.
As you gathered. you must lose;
AS you yielded, now refuse.
Thread by thread the strands we twist
Till they bind us, neck and wrist;
Thread by thread the patient hand
Must untwine, ere free we stand;
AS we builded. stone by stone.
We must toll, unhelped, alone,
Till the wall is overthrown.
But remember as we try,
Lighter every test goes by;
WadIng in, the streams grow deep
Toward the center's downward sweep;
Backward turn. each step ashore
;Shallower is than that before.
All. the precious years we waste
Leveling what we raised in haste:
Doing what must be undOne
Ere content or love be won!
First across the gulf we cast
Kite.borne threads. till lines are passed,
And habit builds the bridge at last!

A question for EDrll.h Iawy.r..

A correspondent raises the question
whether retired judge can practice at
the bar, and goes on to say: 'sThe point
is an interesting one, and IL report
speaks truly it is not unlikely to be
raised by the action Of Mr.. Justice
Hawkins, who, on his retirement next
month, it is said, win resume his old
role Of advocate. There is no precedent
for an English judge appearing again
at the bar after retirement, but it is not
an uncommon thing for an Indian or
colonial judge to resume practice when
he has left the bench. These officials,
however, are in an entirely different
position to their English brethren, and
their example counts for very little.
"The absence of.an English precedent
is much more to the purpose, and it
would probably be considered conclusive
by the bar committee If not by the
judges before whom the question might
be raised. Anyway, it would be decid-
edly unfair for judge who had received
handsome pension to enter into compe-
tition with his struggling professional
brethren who had yet career to make,
to say nothing of the awkwardness of
the situation which would be created. -

Life In Central New York.

One night about three weeks age
George Ceon, Frederick Shepp and Fred.
erick Colt, farmers residing near North
Manlius, had their harnesses and robes
stolen. OF course they were annoyed
and anxious to catch the thief, and,
somewhat inclined to believe in the mys-
terious, Shepp and Colt went to q SYRIA
cuse fortune teller for information. She
took their money and informed them
that they would lind the harnesses on the
premises of some one whose first name
was James, secreted in barrel. They
thought Of the Jameses in their Vicinity.
There was neighbor James Rich and
neighbor James Wright, the latter a
well to do farmer, and they got war
rant from a Collamer justice to search
the house Of the first James and one of
the barns Of the second James.
The officer who had the warrant did
80, accompanied by Mr.. Gott and Mr..
Shepp. But the harnesses were not found,
and now James Rich promises to make
It interesting for Gott and Shepp. He
claims they dug up his cellar, scattered
his potatoes around and did other mis-
chief Of this character, and made no
effort to put things in as good shape as
they found sthem. He wants damages
from the two gentlemen, and says he
win ask the court to grant his request
unless Gott and Shepp walk mp and pay.

A sswed Fish

A peculiar fish was brought into this
port Monday by the schooner Mildred
v. Lee. The fish is nearly oval in shape,
with very, short tail; is 81 feet in
length, 81 feet in width and weighed
l12 pounds. When taken from the water
it was Of a brightred color, and the, meat
is about the color of salmon. The body
except the head is covered by small
scales, and the back is covered with light
spots. On either side Of his back is a
peculiar line, resembling a scar, as if he
had been cut and stitches taken in the
wound. The fish was'taken on La Have
bank in trawl in 300 fathoms of water,
but nothing like 1t has ever been landed
here before, neither can a fish answering
its description be found in the publica-
tons of the fish commission. e Gloucester

NmmRIUI MuMMtLIMI IN AI~A-4Lt
The highest mountain in Iceland was
assembled last summer for the first time
The successful mountaineer was Mr.. r.
w. w. Howell, who was encouraged
when he started for Iceland by informa-
ton from the Royal Geographical 90
ciety that the difficulties In the way Of
climbing tho Oroefa Jokull were sup
posed to be insuperable. The mountain
Is near the southeast coast, and isan i'm.

made an attempt In 1890 to climb the
mountain. but was defeated by the

little settlement on the coast near the
base Of the mountain, at 4 q. M, when
Of course it was broad daylight in that
latitude7 He was accompanied by two
Icelanders as porters. He struck the
snow slopes at 10 a, M. and it took him
nine hours and half to reach the top Of
the mountain whose sides are quite steep
and covered with ice and snow.
Though this mountain is the highest
in Iceland, its elevation was found by
Mr.. Howell to be only $3.50 feet, but
owing to the latitude the phenomena Of
the snow slopes compare most favorably
with those Of mountains 10000 feet high
in Switzerland. Mr.. Howell says the
icicle galleries in the upper crevasses are
particularly fine. This is undoubtedly
one Of the most successful feats Of
mountain climbing Of the year, for the
mountain presents as many difficulties
as any Of the Alps, with two or three ex-
ceptions. It is comparatively easy to as
cend Mount Hecla. and the climb is
made every once in a while by one or
more tourists. New York Sun.
