Ouickness of the Looms.

The loon is the quickest living crea-
ture. A loon that has had experience
can dodge the flash of gun. You see
loon on a lake, but long before you see
him he sees you and your belongings.
If you have no gun, you may perhaps
approach within one hundred yards be-
fore he laughs at you with that horrid
shrek which gives him his name, and
disappears under the water, but show a
gun, and he does not stop to laugh; he
goes instantly. When in sportive
mood be sometimes waits until he sees
you about to fire, when, at the flash,
he dives, and you see the shot spatter
the water where he has just gone
down.-Boys' Brigade Courier.

Hard to Suit.

Cob, mamma" said Mary, at the
breakfast table, 81 don't like to eat
fish with 80 many bones in it. | wish
l could have fish with no bones in it,"
Very WE'LL" said her mother, who
had become quite used to Mary's COM
plants and had resolved at last to teach
her lesson. 81 will bring you one,
then" So she came in presently,
bringing Mary large clam.
Mary could not bear the taste of
clam, and so began to pout.
I'll not eat any fish," she said, in a
whining tone, " if l can't have what l
want"
"This is the only fish without
BONES" said mamma, "and l brought
you Just what you called for. l will
try to give you everything you ask for
to-day, and see if that will make you
happy"
Mary clapped her hands at this, and
was sure she should be the happiest
girl in the world
And so she was until she came to
hunt her school-bag. "Oh dear" she
cried; "why could not some one know
enough to make book-bag that
ways be in place"
She heard a sewing-machine rafting
for few minutes, and then mamma
came out with Mary's cloak and it had
pocket sewed on the outside large
enough to hold all her books and her
slate.
"There," said mamma, dis Just what
you wished for. How delightful it is
to have things as you want them"
But Mary didn't look so highly de-
lighted. Her gloves went on hard, and
she fretted as she tugged at them, and
she began to wish that gloves didn't
have provoking fingers to bother one
so. Almost before she got it out
mamma was ready with pair of yarn
mittens, which looked so clumsy beside
the kids. "The very thing" said
mamma, as pleasantly as though she
didn't guess Mary was provoked at the
thought of wearing mittens.
Anyway" said Mary, now almost
ready to cry, " it looks just as if it Were
going to rain. 81 don't see why peo
pie need to have been so much worse
off than ducks or animals in the rain
Why couldn't they have been made
with waterproof covering?"
Her mamma went very gravely into
the hall, and raising her school um
brella, said, Here it is, you have only
to carry it, and the ducks have to d.
that with theirs"
But am sorry to say Mary was no
pleased yet. But she was hard to suit
don't you think?-HarperS Youn!

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.
Use the Plumb-Line.

Stone-masons, bricklayers, and car.
penters in the building of houses make
use of a very simple instrument to &C.
cure that the walls are perpendicular
The instrument consists of little more
than a cord, to one end of which piece
of lead is fastened. Standing on the
wall, and letting the line drop beside
it, the architect or workman can see at
once whether the wall recedes or
bulges, whether it leans inwards or
outwards, or whether it is absolutely
straight. The instrument is called
plumb-line, and in vision the ancient
prophet Amos saw one in the hand of
God. The sight was solemn and sug-
gestive. The plumb line is
the most impartial of instruments. In
deed. you cannot construct it, though
you try, 80 as to make it tell false. The
workman uses a great variety of tools,
any of which may be more or less de-
fective; his planes, saws, rules, squares,
levels-any one of these may be faulty
or imperfect; but mere infant with
piece of cord and bit of lead can make
plummet of unerring accuracy, for it
is simply obedient to the great law Of
gravitation. The religion of the
blDle lnslSJS tnau man 3 urSI DuSlneSS
is to be right with God, and then keep
according to the line: " Do justly, love
mercy, and walk humbly before Him."
1t is popular notion in these days that
man may construct his religion of any
fashion he pleases. AS though stone
mason were to say, "Of what use is the
plumb-line to me? That old-fashioned
thing l have no need for my own eye
is sufficient for me-" He would not be
long in discovering his mistake. Re-
member if the wall shows any bulge or
detection, it is not an easy matter to
put it right when it is finished. Down
the whole structure must come, and be
commenced anew. There are those
who built up the fabric of their reli-
gion years ago, but built it aslant, and
they have never been able to get it
right since. They had unbounded
confidence in the correctness of their
own moral vision; they kept looking
at the edifice as it arose, and satisfied
themselves that it was strictly vertical !;
whereas, the instant the Divine plumb
line was applied, the whole structure
was conference.-the DAVIDSON, u. d.

Save and Keep Saving.

Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, in an
address to the graduating class of the
Pierce Business College at its COM
mencement in Lancaster, Pa, made
the following remarks: Now, then,
saving. Whenever l have talked to
young men on the duty of saving, my
newspaper friends have come out after
wards and said, "Mr. Depew, you are
preaching the doctrine of sordidness."
Well, have no respect for man who
family in his old age. You say it is
hard to save. That depends on how
many cigars and cigarettes you smoke.
1t depends upon how many beers you
drink. 1t depends upon how often you
are in the saloon playing pool and
drinking at the bar. ANY man whose
habits are right, whose health is good,
who can work, can save. 1t is aston
fishing how money grows. 1t has been
my habit for the twenty-seven years i
have been with the New York Central
railroad, during all that period as its
counsel, to have all departments of the
road come in touch with me. Every
once in while during The whole of that
period these men would state their
conditions and want advice. l don't
know why | should be able to give adj
vice any better than anybody else. But
if you practice doing anything you get
handy at it. l recall now two men
whom | have met-and won't locate
them in the New York Central, because
any body should mention in the New
York Central, would be known-but
two men came to me twenty years ago
for advice. They were getting the
same salary. They had very much the
same kind of positions and the same
opportunities in life. l said to both of
them, "The time has come when you
should begin to save. You have fam.
lilies, you may die at any moment, and
your families would be left without a
dollar. That is calamity whose hor-
rors no tongue can describe, especially
young and helpless family. You will
grow old, and when you grow old the
service wants you no longer, and you
are laid aside useless" They said
How can we saver" said, BY max
ing rule that you will, no matter al
what sacrifice, cut down your expenses
so that within certain time you will
bring me thousand dollars" One Of
them followed II, and to-day the income
from his investments is the same as his
salary, and he can live on il. The
other one, as his salary increased, in
creased his methods of living, wen
into a more fashionable neighborhood
went more frequently to the theatel
and had craving for society, began tC
give pretty little dinners, with cham
paign and what not, sported a carriage
and to-day one, as l have stated, look
serenely upon old age, which is upor
him, because he has enough to carr,
him comfortably through without carr
and without anxiety, with enough tt
leave his loved ones in comfort, Will,
the other one is in despair for fear thu
axe may fall on account of age and in
competency, and he will be at tn
mercy of heartless world.

A MINING WAGE DISPUTE.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec 5.--The coal oper-
ators and miners of the Pttsburg district
failed to agree on a settlement of the wage
difficulty at the joint convention here to-
day. q committee of the operators and
miners reported a resolution recommend
ing the adoption of a 65-cent rate, but af-
ter a long discussion it was voted down
The men want 20 cents. The operators
then Withdrew from the convention, aud
declared that henceforth they would have
nothing to do with the miners OrganiZa-
tion. They also said that the men would
be working for much less in short time.
The men then reconvened, and after
three hours wrangling decided to go back
to the pits with the operators proposition,
and asked for further instructions. An
other convention will be held on Friday.
During the joint convention of the coal
miners and operators today, Secretary
Mcbride of the miners association, made
an appeal to the operators for better
wages, in the course of which he said:
''If this thing does not stop, l look for

AS TO THE VETO POWER.

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 5.-The supreme
court decided an important case yesterday.
in denying the right of the governor 90
veto an item of salary OF a stenographer
by striking it out of the general approprla-
tons after the legislature which passed
the bill had adjourned. Suit Was brought
by maudamus by the stenographer
Charles Z Pickley. against State Comp
troller McC,ll to compel pay yment. The
supreme court holds that il has original
jurisdiction in the matter; that the execu-
tive and the legislature cannot have at the
same time power over a bill or part
of bill; that the governor having first
acted upon the bill before the adjourn
ment of the legislature. it was incumbent
upon him to reject or approve it as an
entirety or in part. The constitution does
not recognize the power of the executive
to exercise the veto rs to items in an APP
preparation bill while the leg stature Is iD
session and after its adjournment to
exercise it with reference TO other items.
Judgment is rendered for plaintiff.
