THE OLD LADY,

One SO seldom sees a genuine old
lady nowadays. The devices of the
perruquier, the complexion specialties
of the beauty doctor, the dress aids
and skill of the modern modiste, all
tend to keep the sweet, motherly crea-
ture with snowy hair and oldworld
courtliness of manner in the back
ground. Frequently one wonders
what sort of memories the little folks
of to-day will have of the grand
mother who looks as young and dresses
as gay as her daughter, and insists on
the children calling her auntie. In
comparison with this extremely frivo-
lous elderly person we think of our own
grandmother, who long years ago was
laid to rest in the country burying
ground. How sweet and aristocratic
were the silvery locks surmounted by
the cap of real lace. No French twists
and false front pieces at variance with
the color of her hair for this dear old
lady, who wore gowns becoming to
her years, and whose face, with it's
wrinkles unhidden or filled in by some
time-destroyer of modern invention,
looked out upon the world from eyes
long used to spectacles which she was
not ashamed to wear There was
more of dignified beauty in the grow
ing of sucha old woman than in the vain
strivings after vanished youth which
leads so many women to dress like
their own young daughters /; to accept
| every device towards the artificial re-
production of the faded charms, and
which leaves in the world to-day so
few of those lovely, womanly women
who have no desire to ape the manners
and dress of the young, and who pos
sess a dignity and lovableness that the
pitiful struggler after departed days
will never possess.

BETTER THINGS.

Better to smell the violet cool than sip the

Better to bark hidden brook than watch a

Better the love of gentle heart than beauty's

Better the roses living seeds than roses in a

Better to live in loneliness than to bask in love

Better the fountain in the heart than the

Better be fed by another's hand than eat alone
at will;
Better to trust in God than say. my goods my
storehouse FILL"
Better to be little wise than in knowledge to
abound;
Better to teach a child than toll to fill perfec-
tons round.
Better to sit at masters feet than thrill lis

Better to suspect that thou art proud than be
sure that thou art great.
Better to walk the real unseen than watch the

Better the "Well done" at the last than the air

Better the twilight of the dawn than the noon

During a cruise of the ships of
our white fleet the guns are fired with
full charges once a month. But it
costs hundreds of dollars to do this,
and for purposes of drill between
times block is fitted into the barrels
of each large gun. This block is per-
forated with bore not much larger
than a rifle barrel, and to fire blank
cartridge through that costs only q
cent. At the same time all the me-
chanism of the gun has to be used,
as in firing heavy charges, so that the
sailors get the benefit OF the practice.

LIFE AFTER FORTY

The best half of his life is in front
of the man of forty, if he be any
thing of a man. The work he will do
will be done with the hand of the
master, and not of raw apprentice.
The trained intellect does not see
"men as trees walking" but sees
every thing clearly and in lust meas
ure. The trained temper does not
rush at work like blind bull at a
haystack, but advances with the
calm and ordered pace of conscious
power and deliberate determination.
TO no man is the world so new and
the future so fresh as to him who has
spent the early part of his manhood
in striving to understand the deeper
problems of science and life, and who
has made some Roadway toward com
pretending them. To him the com
monest things are rare and wonderful,
both in themselves, and as parts of a
beautiful and intelligent whole. Such
thing as staleness in life and it's du-
ties he cannot understand. Know
ledge is always opening out before
him in wider expanses and moro COM
handing heights. The pleasures of
growing knowledge and increasing
power make every year of his life
happier and more hopeful than the
last.

HE SPOKE SPANISH.

A writer in Harper's Magazine says
that General Donaldson, himself a
veteran of the Mexican War, used to
tell an ancedote of General Zachary
Taylor. The incident occurred dur
ing hostilities with Mexico, and while
present at an advanced outpost.
A Texas scout in the employ of the
United States Government, a man
who spoke nothing but Spanish, rode
headlong into camp, and leaping to
the ground and rushing up to the
General, whose uniform showed him
to be an officer of high rank, and, in
the most excited manner, began to
pour forth a torrent of Spanish.
General Taylor, who knew nothing
OF any language but English, was
completely taken aback, so plainly
did his face express his feelings that
a sentry on duty near by burst into a
laugh. Noticing this the General
frowned, and called to the sentry:
Fellow, come herer'
Trembling for the consequences of
his ill-timed mirth the soldier obeyed.
Fellow" said the general, do you
know any one around here who speaks
Spanish p
YES" replied the abashed soldier,
pointing to the scout; that man

THRESHING EVERY DAY.

In their occasional trips to town,
farmers sons are very apt to receive
the impression that young men in
cities not only have less rnonotonous
life than they, but work neither as

One who had very decided opinions
in this respect came to town in Au-
gust, and secured a position in the
fruit department of an extensive deal
er in family supplies" During the
unprecedented rush of the next few

an ordinary days work, and two or
three additional ones were not unusu-

GOOD ROADS,

One of the best arguments for good
roads is contained in a calculation re-
Gently published in one of the engi-
neering papers. 1t states that ON the
worst earth roads, not muddy, but
sandy, a horse can draw only twice as
much as he can carry on his back on
a fair, earth road, three and a half
times as much on good macadamiz-
ed road, nine times as much; on a
smooth, plank road, twenty-fiv times
as much, on stone track-way thirty
three times as much, and on metal
rails, fifty-four times as much. The
men who use the country roads can
therefore make money by improving
the roads, rather than by buying new
horses every wear or two
