THE SHORTEST WAY.
And 1t Afterwards Proved the Safest Way

rs " Gti'
The most direct course is generally
the safest in all relations of life. An
anecdotc given of a young French Off
Ger in memoirs of Count Segur' illus
trates this truth, as well as his bravery.
At the time of the recognition of the
Frenchman named Linch distinguished
himself, particularly at the memorable
siege of Savannah.
NJ. d'Estaing, at the most critical mo-
ment of that sanguinary affair, being
at the head of the right column, di-
rected Linch to carry an urgent order
to the third column, which was on the
left.
These columns were then within
range of grape shot from the enemy's
intrenchments, and on both sides d
tremendous firing was kept up.
Linch, instead of passing through the
center or in the rear OF the columns,
proceeded coolly through the shower Of
shot which the French and English
were discharging at each other.
1t was in vain that NJ. d'Estaing and
those who surrounded him crisd to
Linch to take another direction; he
went on, executed his order and re
turned by the same way, while his
friends watched, expecting to see his in
slant destruction.
why did you choose such a road as
that?" said his general on seeing him
return unhurt. ''You must have ex-
pected to perish thousand times"
''It was the shortest way" answered
Linch, and without another word re-
turned to his usual position.
He was afterward promoted to the
rank Of lieutenant general.-Youth's

And the Children Know That Nurse Can

There is household in this city
where the father is sole administrator

away on visit to some relatives for a
short stay.
The neighbors have commented upon
the order which reigns among the ju-
veniles, who are in charge of nurse,
while the father is down at his Office
during business hours.
Discipline is maintained, however, by
an intermediary-the telephone.

WORE OUT HIS WELCOME.

The Reason Why"a Host Thought His
Guest Would Never Come Again.
When a visitor overstays his welcome
the people of New England say: ''iIe
makes US twice glad; glad when he
comes, glad when he goes" A worthy
citizen of Westfeld, Mass, once put it
even more strongly than that to d
guest.
One of the Deweys of Westfeld re-
every fall he was accustomed to bring
his family back to pay long visit to
his well-to-do relatives.
On one occasion after a prolonged
stay he was surprised to see his host in
the corner, weeping.
why, Cousin Tim," said he, ''what
ails you?"
~''You'l never come down to see me
any more!' the host replied.
"Oh, yes, I will, Cousin Tim: I'll sure
ly come down next fall"
mo, you won't. Something tells me
you won't"
''Nonsense.' said the visitor what
has put such a notion into your head?
Haven't we always come down and
spent the winter with ye? Come, cheer
up, Cousin Tim! C.eer up, and tell me
what makes you think SOP"
The grieving host blew his nose.

face to his sympathizing guest, said:

LOVE is HEAVEN.

Have you ever looked into eyes whose depths
R;yaied the mysteries OF heavens blue,
Til you almost thought you could see the soul
That shone through the orbs Of ethereal hue?
Have you ever clasped the hand Of q friend
Whose simple touch, SO graciously given,
Made you ask yourself il it could be true
1ha. earth had trespassed some Thing from
Heaven:
Have YOU ever heard the sound Of q voice
Whose music was swectcr than trill OF bird,
And all because, though you knew it not,
The music of soul was the sound you heard?
The depths of the eye, the touch Of the hand,
The voice, suggcs stive of music above,
These, and all kindred commnions Of soul.
Have another name, and we call it love.
Ard what is love: A dream of fulfllment
4 promise. a token to mortals given,
4 foretaste of happiness yet to be,
For love is of God, and love is Heaven.

A person crossing the ocean in the

The WeIcnme Guest.

The ''good-dinner woman is one
who aims to listen well, and avoids the
mistake of being smart. She must be
endowed with that quality which in its
highest form amounts to genius
namely, tact. This is, probably, the
hardest grace to cultivate in the cata-
logue of virtues, for it embraces all the
others. 1t is really the spirit and the
letter of the golden rule, and its corner
stone is unselfshness. The popular
woman knows that every human being
is happier to tell a good story than
to hear one. 1t belongs to the gen
eral principle of being more blessed
to give than to receive, and the good
dinner woman" has this written as the
first law in her daealogue Chicago
Mail.

Globes for Arc Lights.

1t is well known that Opaque globes
absorb very large amount of the light
OF arc lamps, and whatever present
style of globe is used dark shadow is
cast directly below the lamp. To avoid
these difficulties a new style of globe
has been brought out in France made
of transparent glass, with circular de-
pressions having such faces as to form
lenses (similar to the well-known light
house lenses), the curvatures of which
are SO calculated that they refract and
reflect SO as to diffuse the light.-Ghi-
