Good living

doemf come from riebes. II comes first,
and brings riches. While the poor
man walks, he will stay poor. His
prosperity begins when he rides,
and eats a good dinner, and carries
good watch. A "poor" watch is
the very badge of poverty, worse
than none; but either condition is
too expensive for a poor man: he
can't afford to lose the time Of day.
Keeping that under his thumb, he
may yet be wealthy. Then comes
true economy: diamonds for his
wife; a man to guard them. But
still, for his own pocket, the same
trusty watch that made" him: the

Circuit Court.

On Wednesday L. r. Custer, formerly
agent of the United States Express Compa-
ny at Summit Point, and who was indicted
by the grand jury in May, 1891, on six
charges Of forgery, was tried on the second
Indictment and found guilty by a jury
He was acquitted on the trial of the first
indictment about year ago. The forgery
consisted in issuing bogus money orders
and signing names of payee and indorser.
These orders he would then deposit in bank
to his own credit, and when time of settle
ments came he would check on bank to
meet his shortage to the company. He car
ried on this system for several years before
it was discovered, and when the crisis came
he was short with his accounts over $1,000.
The punishment is from two to five years in
the penitentiary. Sentence was suspended
pending motion in arrest of judgment and

Devoted Dogs.

A writer in Our Animal Friends
relates a story of two fox terriers,
Tan and Tally, which belonged to q
physician in southern California,
and were the playmates of his little
daughter, Mabel They had been
her companions from her babyhood
and she was now five years old On
the day in question she and they
were frolicking in the garden, when
the little girls attention was at
tracted by peculiar noise in bush
at her elbow.
She peered into the branches to
see what had made the noise. In
stantly the head Of a snake reared
itself before her and the sound of its
rattles was repeated Mabel stood
as if fascinated. The gardener, at
work not far off, screamed to her to
run and hurried as fast as he could
to her rescue. Hurry as he might,
however, he would have been toe
late but for the dogs.
They saw the little girls danger
and threw themselves between her
and it, worrying the snake till the
man could come up and kill it. They
were quite aware of their own dan.

out with their master, they hac

away the land and made what is
called the Strait of Gibraltar Europe
and Africa were joined together and
animals roamed from one spot to an
other as they pleased. When the
time came, however, that the strip
of land was at last swallowed up by
the greedy ocean, the strong current
prevented creatures that were not
at home in the water from crossing
to and fro as they were won't to do.
Among the unfortunates whose wan

short were many African monkeys,

Rheumatic Rings.

Rheumatic rings, one dollar" is
the legend on card that lies in a
tray of lead-colored rings displayed
by New York jeweler. The belief
that such rings protect the wearer
from rheumatism has q pretty strong
hold upon a part of that community.
The rings, according to those who
deal in them, are made of seven
metals, and either the metallic com
bination or the magic number exer-
cises some occult influence unfavor-
able to the development Of RI euma-
tism. Policemen, soldiers and 9th.
ers much exposed to the weather
day and night are said to be the
chief purchasers of rheumatic rings,
and inquirers are soberly assured
that the rings have been known tc
give relief in many painful cases Of
the disease.

Popular Mrs. DoIph.

Mrs. Dolph, the wife of the SEN
ator from Oregon, is said to be one
of the most popular women in
Washington society. Although she
is middle-aged, and has a son and
daughter married, she retains much
of the beauty that made her belle
on the Oregon farm where Senator
Dolph met her. Her black hair is
unstreaked with gray, her dark eyes
have the brightness of youth and her
whole face sparkles with life and en-
ergy to which years have only given
greater depth and graciousness. AL
together, she is in appearance and
manner just what every patriotic
citizen thinks all middle-aged Ameri-
can women should be.

A BEAUTIFUL TALENT.
The Ability to Appreciate the Su-
perior Gifts of Others.
Goethe Has Given Us Two Maxims which
II Needed, VIII Be Fertilization
in One OF the Most Trying Re-
lations of Life.

There are two maXims Of Goethe's
which are the pure gold of truth in
one of the most trying relations of
life-our relation to those who, be-
ing of us and with us, are develop
ing gifts and capacities above us:
against the great superiority of
another there is no remedy but
love" and, "To praise a man is to
put ones self on his level" In these
brief and pithy sayings is contained
the whole philosophy of a noble at
titude towards superiority of all
kinds. There are many who cannot
meet the test of having friends
and associates pass them in
the race by force of greater gifts,
and who note the development of
talent in others, if not with envy, at
least with GOODNESS and silence. In
such an attitude there is not only a
confession of defeat, but the loss of
a great opportunity-the kind Of
loss that is always coming to the
egotist A gift of any kind is q re-
source added to life; new contribu-
ton to the capital which makes So
ciety rich. The right-minded man
rejoices when the common wealth
increases, and finds delight in the
work which brings in the added
riches; the fact that he lives in a
modest house makes him all the
more appreciative of the general
beauty of the metropolis in which
he is citizen. Moreover, as Goethe
suggests, we share in great gifts by
recognizing and honoring them To
keep Shakespeare a closed volume
because we envy his marvellous
power is not to harm Shakespeare
but to impoverish ourselves; to take
delight in Shakespeare is to partake
of his genius and.zput ourselves on
his level. In like manner, to be the
first to recognize dawning superb
GRITTY in some one who stands near
us is not only to give our own ma
ture a beautiful and worthy express
sion, but to share in the develop
ment Of q new and inspiring gift.
The power of appreciation is itself q
beautiful gift, and it's culture means
the possession of a talent as gener
Gus as it is beautiful. To possess il
is to drive out the shadow of envy
and to give swift hospitality t.
truth and beauty. We reveal oul
own natures by our attitude towards
superiority in others. Outlook.

Cotton Growing in Russia.

The production of cotton is rapid.
ly increasing in quantity in the
Transcaspian provinces of Russia.
Last year as many as 70, 1868 tons Of
raw cotton were transported across
the Caspian to Baku, and thence by
the Trans-Caucasian railway to Ba.
toum and Poti. After reshipment
at these places the cotton was con-
veyed to Odessa and Sebastopol,
and thence to the weaving mills at
LODI, Warsaw and those in the Mos.
COW district. 1t being cheaper than
either American or Egyptian cotton,
which pays very heavy import
duty, it may be that in a few years,
when the cotton crop Of the Trans
caspian provinces will suffice 20 fur.

claims had been legally adjudicated and
allowed by former Secretary OF the
Interior, that such action upon the part
of Secretary Smith is usurpation ana

In violation and disregard OF the vested

established, the pensions thus allowed
vest in the pensioner rights which can
not be legally disregarded aud annulled
