You maltreat an aged parent. You
begrudged him the room in your house.
You are impatient of his whimsicali-
ties and garrulity. 1t makes YOU mad to
hear him tell the same story twice. You
give him food he cannot masticate. You
wish he was away. You wonder II he

and shorter He is going to stop. But
God has an account 10 settle with you
on that subject After a while, your
eye will be dim and your gait will
halt, and the sound of the grinding will
be low and you will tell the Same
story twice, and your children
will wonder II you are going to live
forever, and wonder if you will never
be taken away. They called you
father" once; now they call you the
"old man" II you live few years
longer. they will call you the ''old
chop!' What are those rough words
with which your children are accost-
ing you? They are the echo of the
very words you have usco in the ear
of your old father forty years ago.
What Is that which you are trying to
chew, but find unmasticable. and
your jaws ache, and you surrender
the attempt? Perhaps it may be
the gristle which you gave TO your
father for his breakfast forty Yeas

The gentleman. outraged at this brutal
conduct, was about to punish the

Native Beneyolcnce.

Genuine politeness is always the
outcome of kind heart, and travellers
usually appreciate any thoughtful at
tention from their feilow-passengers;
but the author of 1.-TWO Years IN a
jungle" once found it rather difficult
TO receive courtesy from cOmpan-
ion on railroad journey
In the compartment with me we're
three old hindoo merchants. gray
bearded, diguitied and respectable,
who evidently were natives of the bet
ter sort.
Breakfast time came. We were still
many hot aud dusty miles from re-
freshment station, and from the depths
of some of their bundles the old gen
tlemen, who had evidently travelled
before, evolved supply of cooked
food.
1t consisted simply of large bowl
of "dal, like stitf pea-soup and pile
OF "chapathes," small, leathery uuleav-
ened pancakes made of Hour.
With my usual Indifference to the
wants of the inner man had neglect
ed to provide myself with luncheon;
and while ! was thinking of the nice
breakfast | should have in two or
three hours one of the old gentlemen
suddenly thrust his fingers into the
bowl of cookie "dal"-they had no
spoons, forks or knives -Scooped up a
generous handful, plaStered it over a
little pile of "chapathes, and with a
benevolent beam over his spectacles
handed it TO me.

instant, for the old gentleman's hands
were as grimy as possible; but ac-
cepted the food with my politest bow,
and ate it with every appearance of
gratitude.
| would have eaten it had it been ten
times as dirty as it was. The act was
as friendly as any man could per-
form, and | was pleased with its pure
charity and beuevolence, if not with
the food.

Intermittent Drinking.

There would be little use of my de
scribiug what | believe to he the cause
and the course of Intermittent drink
ing unless | set forth my experience ~
to the various methods i'm use to check
or cure the disease. 1t may be asked 3,
HAS not a man a will power and can
he not of his own yolition abstain from
what he knows to be simply self-de-
struction?" Ny answer, unhappily,
must be that a man who has once
fairly fallen into the drink habit,
whether constant or intermittent, has
scarcely any will power while the tit is
on him, as have said, each fit leaves
his will feeber and less able to with
stand the temptation of a sedatiye of
which he has proved the power and of
which he is too prone to forget the
danger, says a writer in National Re-
UielU
The intermittent drinker. az soon as
he has abstained for week, forge I
the disastrous effects of his last attack.
He believes himself rs temperate and
discreet a man as any OF his friends
who takes his pint bottle of claret at
dinner and seldom takes more. He
does not see why he should not do like
wise. 1t is the hardest thing to con-
vince an intermittent druukard who is
able to abstain for a period that he can
never by any chance become a mod
crate drinker. Nevertheless the prin-
ciple of his drinking IS distinct from
that of moderate man. If he tries
to return to his two or three glasses of
claret he is absolutely certain to 20 on
to his secret nip" Of brandy on whisky
and his "uips" will increase and he will
find himself back again in the old road
to ruin. The patient if he really
wants to be cured must clearly make
up his mind that it must be total alb
sunence or seli-destruction; Gradual,
perhaps, but not the less sure.

The sort.Hearted Governor.

It's told of old GOV. R Of Mas

material chair and listen so patiently
to the walls and woes of every body
that, by the time his visitors were

criminals. If any poor fellow wished
to oct out of prison and had a tolera-

would pardon him At last it got to
be a byword. Indeed, it was currently
reported that one day the governor

The Institution of marriage keeps
the moral world in being, and Sc
cures it from an untimely dissolu-
ton. Without IT, natural affection
and amiableness would not exist,
domestic education would become
extinct, industry and econou y I'M

learning and refinement would
expire, government sink into the

Nature and Art. in Greek Statues

Archeologists have observed that in
Greek statues the male eye is strongly
arched, while the female eve has rather
a ilattened surface; and referring to
accounts by the older anatomists who
have affirmed such a difference to ex-
list, they have seen in this fresh proof
Of the exact observation of nature by
the ancient Greeks. The rule is not
without exceptions, for the cornea in
the Zeus of Orricoli has quite a fiat
form. Herr Greet recently set himself
(Archiv fur Anat,) to inquire whether
such sexual difference actually eX-
lists, and from individual measurement
Of the radius of the cornea in the hori-
zontal meridian, he gets an average Of
7.S3 nm, for men and 7S2 nm. for
women (Donders gives 1853 and
1880, so the difference is 50 small as
TO be imperceptiole to the naked eye.

but minute differences also. The
author concludes that the Greeks

case follow nature Nature

In to testify as 10 the times Mr.. Dlggs, the
member OF the House from Hanover and
King william. voted In the caucus for q
senator. He did not think Mr.. Diggs
voted at all on the first ballot: he voted
for General Lee on the second and third
ballots and did not vote on the fourth.
nth. and sixth ballots. Tae witness
added that Mr.. Diggs asked him TO re-
cord him on the sixth ballot. but IL
was then too late.
Senator Conway r. Sands stated that
he had nothing to do with inviting Mr..
Diggs TO General Lees Headquarters
Neither had he authorized any one to de-
liver any message or send any request
TO anybody TO come to the headquarters
OF General Lee.
REPLIED TO Mr.. DAvIE.
The witness was followed by DR.. Knox
Thompson. from Dfnwiddie, who came up
to reply to the testimony of Mr.. Davie,
OF Petersburg. He declared that he had
been a Martin man all along. When the
people came 10 him with instructions for
General Lee and the nomination to the
House he declined TO accept with the
instructions. as he was known to be a
Martin man. The instructions were then
torn of and the witness was nominated
without them. DR.. Thompson declared
that he knew OF nothing improper In the
efforts Of any one TO secure votes for any
candidate for United States Senator.
The committee having heard all OF the
witnesses present adjourned TO the Clerk :
Office, where an executive session was held
and an agreement reached to report to
the Legislature that nothing had been
developed In the investigation TO prevent
the election Of senator.

CITY HALL MATTERS.
Mr.. Epps Glad He Voted for the waddey
Company-The New Armory.

There was a sort OF go-as-you-please
meeting Of the Committee on Grounds and
Buildings yesterday evening. Chairman
Taylor presided. and there were present
Messrs. Carter, Epps. Mountcaste, and
Noble. The Chairman was directed to
sign the warrants Of the F.. Waddey Com
pany and A. Gunst & Son for the balance
due them on account OF their contracts
with the city for certain City Hall work
as soon as the City Engineer shall have
examined this work and reported 1t to
be all right
Mr.. Epps here took occasion to say that
he had made an inspection Of the metallic
fe-cases furnished by the Waddey Com
pany, and over which contract there was
such a howl and an investigation He
declared that he believed that the city
had gotten a better job than IL had at
first contracted for. and was proud that
he had voted as he did in that matter.
Mr. Waddey, who was present, asserted
that he had put In the metallic cases
extra finishing at a cost OF N,WO more
than he intended In his original bid
that this work should cost him. In other
words his profits on the contract, he
said. were 1900 less than he at fist
expected they would be. He made this
additional outlay on the job that no one
could point a finger of criticism to the
| work.
The committee decided to meet at
O'Clock Thursday afternoon to inspect the
newly-buit Stuart Horse Guard armory'
| that the bill Of the contractor might be
approved as soon az possible.
on motion Of Mr.. Epps the report OF
the subcommittee on City Hall carpets
recommending that the contract be
awarded to Messrs Levy & Davis was
received and filed. After the transaction
OF some unimportant business the com
| mittee adjourned.
