PROMPT PEOPLE.

Dou'tilMe a single hour of your life
without doing exactly what is to be
done in it, and going straight through
it, from heginping to end. Work,
play, study, whatever it .is-take hold
at once, and flush it up squarely and
Clearly; then to the next thing, with
out letting any Momepts drop pc
tween. 1t is wonderful to see hoy
many hours these prompt people con-
trive to make of day; it is as if they
picked up the moments tshat the
dawdlers lost And if ever you find
yourself where you have SO many
things pressing upon you, that you
hardly know how to begin, let me
tell you a secret; take hold of the first
one that comes to hand and you will
find the rest fall into file, and follow
after, like company of well-drilled
soldiers; and though work may be
hard to meet when it charges in Il
squad, it is easily vanquished if you
can bring it into line. You may have
often seen the anecdote of the man
who was asked how he had accom-
plished so much in his life. MY faith
err taught me- was the reply, when
| had anything to do, to go and do
it," There is the secret-the magic
word, now!

NOT TO RLAME.

Sir Walter Trevelyan, who died in
1879 at the age of SO, had inherited an
immense cellar of wines, said to have
been then the rarest collection In the
world. Some of the wines were bot
tied in 1852, and others in 1777.
But the baronet was himself total
abstainer, and bequeathed his wines
to DIR. Richardson, his colleague in
temperance agitation, to be employ
ed for scientific purposes"
Sir Walters wife would have wine
ON the dinner-table. A visitor, after
a glass of port from bottle bought
by the baronet's father in 1884, offer
ed to purchase the whole at a guinea
a bottle.
"No, SIR" said Sir Walter, 81 mean
to have the whole carried out some
day and empted into the Wansbeek.
One night Sir Walter had such a
severe attack of the govt that he was
obliged to ascend the stairs on his
knees-he was too self-reliant to per-
init a servant to carry him. A friend
suggested that he might console him
self by rejecting that he was not to
blame.
"No!" he answered, my father
and grandfather drank the port, and
] came in for the govt"

At half past 3 Philippini ran up.
He was breathless, and his shoes were
dusty from walking in the country.
At once he effected an entry, amid
scene of great excitement. Amoment
later he appeared at the window and
cried in a terror stricken voice:

Els mad Look out for yourselves ~
And he leaped from the window.
The crowd fled in all directions, and
two boys were all but run over by a
cart which was being driven rapidly
from the railway station to the bank.
''All right" said Dick to the signor
''bring up the wagol.." And then
with great difficulty and consummate
courage the signor and Dick brought
an iron cage up to the window and
drove Atlas in.

TO MI DOG, BLANCO.
BY FRANCES POWER COBB.

BY FRANCES POWER COBB.
My dear. dumb friend, low-lying there,
A willing vassal at my feet,
Glad partner of my home and fare,
My shadow in the street.
1 look into your great brown eyes,
Where love and loyal homage shine,
And wonder where the difference lies
Between your soul and mine!
For all of good that have found,
Within myself or human kind,
Hath royalty informed and crowned
Your gentle heart and mine.
l scan the whole broad earth around
For that one heart which, loyal and true,
Bears friendship without end or bound,
And find the prize in you!
trust you as trust the stars;
Nor cruel loss, nor scott of pride,
Nor beggary, nor dungeon bars,
Can move you from my side!
As patient under injury
AS any Christian saint of old,
AS gentle as a lamb with me,
But with your brothers bold.
More playful than happy boy,
More watchful than a sentinel;
By day and night your constant joy
To guard and please me well
clasp your head upon my breast
The while you whine and lick my hand
And thus our friendship is confessed,
And thus we understand!
All, Blanco, did worship God
As truly as you worship me,
Or follow where my Master trOd
With your humility!
Did sit fondly at His feet,
AS you, dear Blanco, sit at mine,
And watch Him with a love as sweet,
My life would grow divine!

CHICAGO, Oct. lS.--The bankers con-

Hilary, opened at the art institute this
morning with an address OF welcome by
Mayor Harrison, followed by President
Rhawn of the American Bankers asso-
ciation. Reports of officers and other

How nrnyItation Varies.

That changes involving the displace-
ment Of immense masses are going on
within the earth is one of the suggested
explanations of some observations re-
Gently announced in France. 1t has been
found at the Pare st. Maur observatory
that the force of gravitation, or the
weight of bodies, undergoes daily varia-
tions. These are rendered sensible by
placing in the earth a tube containing
column of mercury balanced by thepr
sure of hydrogen contained in closed
vessel connected with the tube and reg
istering by means of photography the al
terations in the level of the mercury.
After all corrections have been made
for the effect of changes of temperature
it appears that certain sudden variations
in the level of the mercury are only to
be explained ON the theory that they
are due to change in gravitation. These
variations last from Is minutes TO an
hour. They are of course very small,
amounting at maximum to only one
twentieth OF millimeter, but they may
imply very great displacements of mat
ter in the interior Of the globe.
1t has been suggested that similar ex-
periments should be conducted in the
neighborhood Of active volcanoes, where
liquefed rock is moving beneath the sur
face, and other disturbances of the strata
of the earth are taking place.
Such facts as these present to the i'm
aginaticn a very formidable picture Of
the gigantic connections that accom-
pany the slowlcooling and contraction of
the globe, ON whose hardened crust we
rear our edifces, wondering, when some
of them are occasionally shaken down
by earthquakes, at the instability Of a
planet that is apparently SO solid.-
