Preparation the Inn mpOrtant Factor

The discovery by Edison of the carbon
with which heperfected his electric lamp
seems happy accident, but such acci-
dents never happen to common men,
The great inventor scraped some SCOT
from the blackened chimney of his lab
oratory lamp. and in sriri. of curios-
ity tested its properties. 1t proved to be
the thing for which he was searching,
but behind this fortunate discovery was
a series OF exhausting and exhaustive ex-
periinents with all kinds Of likely mate
rlais, absorbing the energies of many
months. The lucky hit rewarded the
persistent will of a patient workman.
So with the young and obscure lawyer
who conducts and wins difficult case
as did Thomas Erskine in his elders i'll
ness, or the struggling surgeon who has
sudden chance Of distinction offered to
him. he must have had long anl la
borious preparatory training before he
can profit by such an emergency. In
short, great o;nortuiity il wo.th to
man precisely what his antecedc::. 8 have
enabled him to make Of it, william

Casting Great Statues.

Stiglmaye-, a German goldsmith in the
first part Of this century. having an am.
bition to attempt larger works than any
he had accomplished, went to Naples in
order to see the casting of Canova statue
of Charles III. but was denied the sight of
certain secret technical processes. Stigl-
mayer found them out for himself never
theless. and as soon as he went home
made his first experiment on statuette
OF Venus. Many delays occurred. and
the excitement increased as the end drew
near. By some mistake one of his assist
ants poured his molten metal into the
airhole. Then the casting came to a

The Poetry That Paws.

A poet, to have Il successful sale for a
book Of verse. should bear in mind one
potent fact-that the poetry for which
there Is tie greatest general demand TO-
day is that which appeals to the heart,
rather than to the mind That is the Sc
cret Of the greater sale of LCngfellow's
books over those of Walt Whitman: that
why Whittier outsells Browning, why
thousand copies of DR.. Holmes poetical
works are sold to one Of Swinburne: WHY
Will Carleton outoells Thomas Bailey

poems sell as fast as they are put Oh the
shelves. While those of Andrew Lang and
Austin Dobson stand year after year

PrOdigality Of Life In Ancient Epxu

The reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandered away the labor and lives of
the people is perfectly startling. In this
respect, as the monuments yet remain
ing abundantly prove. they stand alone
and without rival. We may form
some idea of the almost incredible waste
when we hear that 1900 men were occu-
pied for three years in carrying a single
stone from Elephantine to Sais, that the
canal Of the Red sea alone cost the lives
OF 10000 Egyptians. and that to build

The Suicide of n King

The late King Louis of Bavaria saved
himself from deposition by timely
death, being found drowned in the fish
pond Of one Of his palaces. He had no

his crazy expenditure cost his subjects

nearly bankrupt, they resolved to dis
place him, and the knowledge of this no
doubt drove him to self destruction.

A Learned Irish Woman.

Edward HARDWOOD, in his work on the
Greek and Roman classics, mentions a
Dublin edition OF Tacitus, dated 1880, and
says: This is the celebrated edition of
Tacitus which Mrs. Grierson published. |
have read it twice through, and it is one Of
the best edited books ever delivered to the
world. Mrs. Grierson was n lady possessed
of singular crudition and had an elegance
of taste and solidity of judgment which
justly rendered her one of the most won.
derful, Us we'll as amiable, of her sex. Pre-
fixed to this edition of Tacitus is a dedica-
ton to Lord Carteret by Mrs. Grierson in
most elegant Latinity."
This eulogium is quoted by DR.. Dibdin
in his book on the Greek and Latin classics,
and a note is added respecting Mrs. Grier-
sons son, a young man of extraordinary
attainments, who died at the age of q, and
who received the highest commentator
from DR.. johnson. For his mothers sake
this young man was appointed kings
printer in Dublin. According to one &C.
count, Mrs. Grierson was a native of Kill
kenny, the child of poor parents, and in
debted for her instruction to the parish
clergyman. Considering her attachments
and circumstances, she mus have been a
most remarkable genius and deserves a
fuller record than SO brief Il note as this.
1t is stated that she was not 30 years of age
when she died in 1873.

Artificial Aids to Beauty,

One may be disposed to forgive the wom-
an who has been beautiful if, in her des-
perate attempts to retain her beauty, she
paints and powders and chooses to make of
herself a thing Of borrowed shreds and
patches. But when women tell us-as some
of them do tell us now and then-that men
like 4 woman to c%aricature her own wom-
anhood; that they prefer-it comes to that!
imitation beauty to the real article, they
require Of us a faith too great for ordinary
human nature. To be told, as I was told a
little time ago-and by a %lady-that men
do not care for women unless they paint
and powder, is to have too strong a strain
placed upon ones natural civility. That
this same informant was guilty of a per-
haps %pardonable feminine exaggeration
when she declared that, nowadays, all wom-
en- used both paint and powder, I am as
sured.
Had she confined herself to the state
ment that a very large number of women
are indebted for what they call their
charms to anything but nature, she would
have delivered herself of an utterance on
the literal veracity of which she might
safely have staked, as our transatlantic
cousins have it, her bottom dollar" The
lady of fashion may not be aware that she
is guilty of u reversion to savagery when
she calls in artificial aids to the help of her
natural attractions, but she is. Among
savage peoples it is an almost general Gus
ton to revert to such auxiliaries.-Au the

her northern sister. The former cares more
for prettincss than style, though, and wears
more dainty little curls and bows and ban
giles and gewgaws than a northern girl
would don in a lifetime. 1t isn't exactly
good form, we think, but she doesn't know
that, and II she did, she wouldn't care, for
"the boys like it," and then her voice is SO
soft, and her southern pronunciation is sim

Absolute Truthfulness.

There is nothing that Il parent should so
fully realize as the fact that in order to
have truthful children she must be abso-
lutely truthful herself. Little minds are
quick to realize the absolute stability of
mothers statement and are just as ready
to detect flaws in her armor of sincerity as
well. DO not promise anything that you
do not mean to carry out. If you cannot
answer any of their little questions truth
fully, do not make up some reply that they
will later discover to be incorrect, for such
proceedings will have u tendency to instill
In them a carelessness in regard to their
own statements that will soon make it easy
for them to tell ~falsehoods without n uualm
of conscience. Remember, the mother is
the pattern that the little ones will follow;
therefore make that pattern as nearly per-
feet as it is possible for you to do.-Phila-
