WISE WORDS.

Persistent putting has fllel many q
sale.
Avarice is the vice of declining
years.
That which is everyboiy's business is
nobody's business.
In this world the elect a-e very in,
frequently elected.
The wires Of opportunity transmit few
repeated messages.
A man of means, in extreme cases,
means q mean nau.
It's a wise dog that will chase only
the neighhors' cats.
Behavior is a mirror in which ever one
displays his image.
One dosen't need to get a skate Ga to
glide on a banana peel.
There is no fool like an old fool, yet
we're never too old to learn.
If you would abolish a~varice, you must
abolish the parent oil it, luxury.
What a man cannot believe can neqer
at bottom be of true interest to him.
The only really successful liar is the
man who does it IN a matter of fact way.
A wife who IS only the soul Of neat
ness should do a little materializing at
once.
A sweet, unselish life, radiant with
usefulness, never grew out of a heartIess
profession.
A rolling stone gathers no moss, yet a
mossback is without honor save in his
own country.
Tine and tide wait for no man,
although the proper thing IS to learn to
labor and to wait.
There is no surer sign Of a had heart
than for a writer to find delight in de-
grading his species.
No matter what his rank or position
may be, the lover OF books is the richest
and happiest Of men.
Heaven sometimes hedges a rare char
acter about with u%ngainliness and odiurn,
as the burr that protects the fruit.
Good books are always of use, particu-
larry in a family which docs not enjoy
the advantages Of first rate schools.
A social life which worships money
and pursues social distinctions as IFS aim
is, in spirit and fact, an aristocracy.
Business IS the rub of life, perverts
u aims, casts off the bias, and leaves
us wide and short OF the intended mark.

The American bark Hesper, lately ar
rived at San Francisco from Japan, re-
lates some remarkable experiences en-
route. When she was some seventy-fve
miles out from Kobe, japan, the sea,

nomenon. Great blasts of hot air began
to belch forth. AS they enYeloped the

It is interesting TO note, confesses the
Chicago Nens, how electricity is pene.
trating, 10 some shape or other, every
corner Of the civilized globe. At the
annual soldiers exhibition at poona,
India, one Of the exhibits was q small
electric punkah for hanging inside mos
quito curtains. Those who have lived
in the tropics have lively recollectioas of
sleepless nights in which the question
uppermost in the mind wa whether the
sitting heat inside the mosquitS curtain
or the mosquitoes themselves were the
most uncomfortable, and to such the idea
Of the tiny electric puukah will appeal
with grateful force. Attached to it is a
small clock aid an electric light. The
instrument is the invention OF auaoficer.
Among the other exhibits was a remark
able clever model of a stationary engine,
made in India by a British private, and a
sowar Of the Second Bombay cavalry con
tributed some very handsome designs for
electric lamps, constructed Of bent brass,
alter English models, in which tina
workmanship was excellent.

The data collected by insurance com

The data collected by insurance com
panies often bring out curious facts
which otherwise would be likely to es-
cape notice. Among these may be classed
the statistics recently compiled by COM
panies who issue policies on cattle,
which show that a distinct increase in
risks is caused by the use of wire fences
on farms. The number of cattle re,
ported as killed by lightning is very
large. In the majority of cases the cat
tie were near the wire fences at the mo-
ment of being struck, and so convinced
are the companies that the metal strands,
by acting as conductors of electricity,
increase the chances against the life of
the cattle, that they are making a mod
ifcation of the conditions on which such
insurance is given.
