WATERFOWL, y. Y, July "a What
seems TO have been an attempt to wreck
passenger train oh the Rome, Watertown
and Ogdensburg railroad occurred in this
city. Two switches were opened in the
freight yard and the lights put out by
some persons unknown. A train due from
Syracuse and Utica, and heavily loaded
with passengers, was half an hour late and
was running unusually fast to make up
time. The engineer, missing the lights
and fearing danger checked the speed, SO
that the locomotive and all of the train ex-
cept one coach left the track, but did not
capsize or telescope, and no one was hurt.
Railroad officials are inclined to believe
that discharged cmploye sought revenge
In this way.

rs PROGRESSIVE LOVE:

1remember fair Florence, my very first love.
And all that told her was true, every word,
But my love was as swift as the wings OF q
dove,
And ere she loved me in the distance heard
The sweet voice of dear Blanohe-she was best
of them nll
And l keep her blest memory fresh in my
heart.
But the roses Of summer must fade in the fall,
AS the night follows day, so we met but to
part.
Then Emma md Isabelle, Mary and Name,
Each In turn were loved lightly, and Agnes
and May.
My song every summer would bear new name,
But these, like the others, soon drifted away.
And then came n season Of sadness for me,
A season In which tried hard 10 forget
Tho marvellous musical voico of Marie
And the furaway, oceanlike eyes Of Lizette
Fen as the gay candle fly firts with the flame
played round the hearts OF the maidens
knew.
My song every season would have new name,
And others would fade from my mind like
the dew.
Now look nt the past as 'twerc all in a mist,
For my bosom's own queen Is enthroned on
my knee.
lrcmemhcr one name, one alone In the list,
AS gaze In the beautiful eyes of Marie.

The earliest mode of writing was
on bricks, tiles, oyster-shells. stone,
ivory, bark, and leaves of trees, and
from the latter the term "leayes OF a
book" is probably derived.
Copper and brass plates were very
early in use; and a bill of feoffment
on copper was some years since dis
covered in India, bearing date 100
years before Christ.
Leather was also used, as we'll as
wooden tablets. Then the papEus
came into vogue, and about the eighth
century the papyrus was superseded
by parchment.
Paper, however, is Of great antiq-
uity, especially among the Chinese;
but the first paper-mill in England
was built in 1858 by German, at
hartford, in Kent Nevertheless, it
was nearly century and half
namely, in 17l3-before Thomas
Watkins, a statiOner, brought paper
making to anything like perfection.
The first approach to pen was the
stylus, kind Of iron bodkin; but the
Romans forbade it's use on account Of
its frequent and even fatal use in
quarrels, and then it was made OF
tone. Subsequently, reeds, pointed
and split, like pens as in the present
daV were used

bouts engaged in removing the de-

as smooth as dressed mahogany and
not much larger than broom

The queer relics are as hard as
emery and as heavy as iron aud were
for long time supposed to be the
cores from diamond drills. 1t has
been proven, however, that they were
originally heavy solid oak timbers
12x12 inches square and of varying
lengths. But, you say, why are they
now no longer than walking stick?
Simply because the weight of the
mountains bearing upon them in every
direction, perpendicularly as well as
laterally, has wrought the lwonders
seen in the polished stone stick.

tempted by hobbies. Ten years ago
her little opinions were listened to
with gay raillery OF tender serious
ness and respect. Now, If she is at

sistent In introducing these same
themes to which she has given mature
thought, her conversation becomes
wearisome. She must avoid hobbies.
in society at least, particularly If
they run counter to fixed opinions.
But the single woman may saccess-
fully cultivate a certain brightness OF
appearance which results from being
genuinely interested in the great
world and all its happenings. Read
ing will do much for one, but reading
alone is not sufficient. Interchange OF
thought, the ready expression of
opinion, a certain flavor Of Keeping
in touch with all bright and pleasant
things, will serve the older maiden in
good stead when the little day of
youth goes by. There is no assump-
ton in this. Her happiness comes
from the cultivation of this spirit,
and a happy woman is sure to have
friends. Cheerfulness wins its way
anywhere. A cultivated and avowed
talent almost invariably wins pla e
in society for its possessor, and age
has little to do with its enjoyment.
A lady who can and will render a
fine musical selection on the piano,
harp, or guitar, or whose sweet voice
can and will lend its power for song
for the pleasure of Others, finds hers
self appreciated and sought after. A
pleasant story-teller, who has the
discretion to tell short stories and
adapt them with tact to her audi
encc, is a winning companion. The
grand thing to remember is this: If
you wish TO be still beloved in society
and to find your invitations still
numerous, you must have something
to give in return for social favorS.
Some people have good looks, an hon.
ored name, long purse, talent for
being agreeable, or a distinguished
grandfather; but tact and kindness
are fair rivals for the distinguished
grandfather, and often win in the race
for social popularity.

There Is many mother who feels
disturbed and anxious because her
child either exhibits small interest in
school, or else is unable to shine
among the other children there, or
perhaps even to keep pace with them.
She is haunted by a horrid specter OF
dunceshin and backwardness, and OF
her darling cutstripped and lett be-
hind in All the other struggles OF life
as we'll.
But do not let her be too soon dis
couraged. Ii her child has no aptl-
tude for learning exactly what the
others are learning, perhaps there IS
an aptitude for something else quite
different and apart, and of just 40
much value Let her scrutlnize and
discover and help the child along ac-
cordingly in the ways where nature
directs.
Our system of graded schools is, in
deed, lifting all children to broad
tableland of general information, but
however excellent its mental diSci-
pline it allows no space for individual
growth in individual ways. Every
child is being run in the same mold;
there is no place for idiosyncrasy nor
for development upon original llnes
and there is an ever present danger
of capitalization, of becoming fixed
at given point or ceasing all develop
ment.
Ii her child has a rooted dislike for
certain thing. or positive inability
in the direction OF another, the
mother would be wiser to make an
effort to have those studies set aside
and to let him give himself to those
which he does like, and where, If he
cannot possibly distinguish himself,
he can at any rate expand what power
he has Surely if his strength and
time are dissipated on those studies
concerning which he is hopeless. there
is no strength or time left for those
where he might do much.
1t is probable that the great men
of the past developed themselves as
their tastes and inclinations led; they
did not learn all they learned, be-
cause some one else had learned it,
even if certain branches were a fore
gone conclusions; and that which they
did learn they learned because they
felt the impulse and the need.
1t is not the man who is just like
every other man who helps the world
along the most, but the man whose
different training and growth makes
him individual and gives him cogn
Of vantage that he would miss if he
went slipping along just like every
one else.
Give the backward boy" his chance
then at that which suits him best,
and be sure no harm can happen
