Where Do You Live P

knew man and his name was Corner.
Who used to live on Grumble Corner;
Grumble Corner in Cross Patch town,
And he never was seen without n frown.
He grumbed at this, he grumbled at that.
He growled at the dog, he growled at the cat,
He grumbled at morning. he grumbled at night,
And to grumble and growl was his chief delight
He grumbled so much at his wife that she
Began to grumble as well he:
And all the children wherever they went.
Reflect their parents discomfort
If the sky was dark and betokened rain,
Then Mr.. CORNER was sure to complain;
And fthere was never cloud about,
He'd grumble because of a threatened drought.
His meals were never TO suit his taste;
lie grumbled at having to eat in haste;
The bread was poor or the meat was Tough,
Or else he hadn't half enough.
No matter how hard his wife might try
To please her husband, with seornful eye
He'd look around, and then with a scowl
At Atsomething or other begin 10 growl.
One day as loitered along the street,
My old acquaintance CHANGED to meet,
Whose face was without the look of care.
And the ugly frown it used to wear.
u may be mistaken, perhaps" said,
AS after saluting, turned my head;
"But II is and it isn't, the Mr.. Corner
Who lived for so long on Grumble Corner!'
met him next day, and met him again,
III melting weather and pouring rain.
When stocks were up and when stocks were down
But n smile somehow had replaced the frown,
II puzzled me much; and so. one day,
l seized his hand in friendly way
And said Mr.. Corner, I'd like to know
What can have happened to change you so?''
He laughed a laugh that was good to hear;
For 1t told of conscience calm and clear,
And he said. with none of the old-time drawl
"Why, I've changed my residence that is all -
Changed your residence?" Yes said CORNER,
"It wasn't healthful on druRble Corner,
And so l moved; twas a change complete;
And you'll find me now on Thanksgiving Street !!
Now, every day, as move along
The streets so filed with busy throng,
watch each face, and can always tell
Where men and women and children dwell;
And many n discontented mourner,
Is spending his days on Grumble Corner,
Sour and sad, whom long to entreat
To take house on Thanksgiving Street.

WESTMINSTER MD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 2e. 1893.

90, John bound him by the most solemn
pledges never to reveal the true nature of
the proposal to either Clarissa or Mrs.
wilkins. And on palting he remarked
in would-be cheerful tone, while the ex-
preston on his face was like that of "Pa-
tience on monument, -
"Many man has marched with a firm
step up to the seafold, and l shall pray
for strength to carry me through the or
deal of the marriage cermony."
John Ainswor his marriage created
more than a nine days wonder, but once
enrolled in the list of married men his
extreme bashfulness wore off, aud the big
white house on the hill, with its pretty,
brown-eyed mistress, became one of the
most hospitable places in town; and | can
not recall among my circle of friends a
single instance where marriage has proven
so free from failure as the one which re-
suited from John Ainsworths mistake.

The Central Peruvian Railway across
the Andes starts from sea level at Calico,
1t crosses the Andes Range to Oroya, 136
miles from the coast. Atthe seventh mile
it is 500 feet above the level of the sea.
At the fifteenth mile the elevation is about
5000 feet, and the ascent is steady and
rapid until it reaches its highest point at
the one hundred and sixth mile, when the
the height is 1865 feet.

Two Kinds.

A Scotch minister surprised his congre-
cation one morning by saying: "I fear
when explained to you, in my last charity
sermon, that philanthropy was the love of
our species, you must have understood me
to say specie, which may account for the
smallness of the collection .You will now
prove, I hope, by your present contribu-
tion, that you are no longer laboring under
the same mistake"

The Fox Came Back.

A red fox stole FIVE hens from Climpsou
Kelley, of Franklin county, Indiana, the
other day, ard the farmer lay in wait for
the despoiler, thinking, perhaps, the rascal
would return for the remaining rooster.
Sure enough the animal reported, but he
kept just out of gun-range, and he led the
farmer a chase for mile OF more and then
suddenly disappeared. When Kelley re-
turned to his poultry yard he found that
Reynard had beaten him back and had
killed the rooster.

The Green Cap of the Bankrupt.
From Philadelphia Ledger.

There was law in force in France for
a century or more that compelled bank
rupts to wear green caps. This was done TO
prevent tradesmen from being imposed upon
by such as were unable or unwilling to
pay Successive edicts enlarged the priv
ileges of bankruptcy, but they forfeited
them if they appeared in public without
green caps. If those who cannot or will
not pay their debts were compelled to wear
such caps at the present day, the streets Of
most of our cities would have rather ver-
daut appearance.

How to Clean the Face.

From the Boston Gazette
Theatrical people know that oil cleans
the skin better than water. Generally
other people do not. If actresses under
took to get their makeup off with water,
they would need soft soap and scrub
brush to do it, and the skin would inevita-
bly, come with it. They used once cocoa
butter now they use cocoa oil, which is a
better preparation of the same thing.
Drug stores keep it. Some keep it fresh,
and some keep it rancid. Take care not
to patronize the second class, and in cocoa
oil you will have the most delightful of
all emollients for the oil bath. If you
want to see how effective it is, come in
from a railway journey on a hot day, when
the windows have been up, and you have
had as much benefit of the smoke and
SCOT as the fireman. Take the most vigor-
GUS bath you can derise or endure, then
spread some cocoa oil on your face, and
wipe it off. The blackened towel will tell
the tale of failure for the bath and tri-
umph for the OIL

The Story of Zero.
From london pnblic opinion.

rTOm LOuuoH IuDilC OftiulOu.
The word "zero" is from the Spanish
and means empty, hence nothing. 1t was
first used for thermometer in 1895 by a
Prussian merchant named Fahrenheit.
From boy he was close observer Of
nature, and when only 10 years old, in the
remarkably cold winter of 1903, he ex-
perimented by putting snow and salt to-
gether and noticed that it produced de-
gree of cold equal to the coolest day of
the year. And that day being the coolest
that the Oldest inhabitant could remember,
Fahrenheit was the more struck with the
coincidence of his little scientific discovery,
and hastily concluded that he had found
the lowest degree of temperature known in
the world, either natural or artificial He
called the degree zero and constructed a
Thermometer, or rude weather glass, with
scale graduating up from zero to boiling
point, which he numbered 212, and the
freezing point 80, because, as he thought,
mercury contracted the thirty second of
its volume on being cooled down from the
temperature of freezing water to zero, and
expanded the one-hundred- land -eightieth
on being heated from the freezing TO the
boiling point

Lake Assal, one of the finest salt lakes
in the world, in the district of 0bock, East
Africa, only few miles from the head of
the Bay of Tavjouiah, has been bought by
Mr.. Chefneux from the French Govern
ment. All along the edge of the lake,
which comprises only sixteen square miles.
is bed of nearly pure Salt about a foot in
thickness. The water of the lake is so
surcharged with salt that it is impossible
to sink in it. The bottom is apparently
bed of solid salt The heavy waters lave
the base of jagged and precipitous noun
tains which descend to the edge Of the
lake, making it almost impossible to travel
around it. Mr.. Chefneux will probably
carry on his work by floating machinery
on the lake and dredging in the salt bed at
its bottom.

Honest men are often made the -lupes

carry out their schemes for selfag-

then there is always danger that the innO-

Peaches are a tonic, an aperient, Il food
and drink combined; or, to put it briefly,
they are meat and medicine. A good
meal may be made on cut peaches, with
sugar and cream, bread and butter. After
meal of this variety person will feel
more like attending to the duties of the
afternoon than if he OF she INDUCED in
heavy foods. Peaches are good before
breakfast and after dinner; they are good
for the digestion, good for the blood and
good for the complexion. Some people
eat them without cream or sugar and with
good result. The fruit is so rich in sugar
and acid that it preserves its favor long
while, but to get the full benefit it should be
eaten as soon as lis cut. Redness ofthe nose,
due to congestion, infamed complexion,
scrOfulous and bilious tendencies are said
to be materially influenced by a liberal
consumption of this luscious fruit Mixed
fruits are always advisable, but the peach
in season, used as an alternate with plums,
cherries, melons and berries, will vanquish
the enemies of the complexion. This is a
peach year.

PoTDERLY's NEW DEPARTURE

Terence Y. Powderly has ans
nounced his intention to retire from
the leadership of the knights #
Labor at S. 900 year to become
a lawyer at whatever his clients
will Pay him,
1t is qnite probable says the
Philadeiphia zSmaeS, that Mr.. Pow~
derly will put money in his purse
by the change, for he possesses
what Mr. W cller characterized as
"the gift Of CAB very gailopin', y
and his experience as the manager
of the greatest assortment of nus
man nature ever banded into an
organization should haYe sharpened
his wits amaz'ng'y.
With his practical knowledge OF
men and his vigorous power OF
speech, added to a fair knowledge
Of law, which, it is presumed, e
has or will acquire, he viii be
equipped for bis new profession far
above the average of lawyers. But
the public will be not a little curl,
Gus to know what led to the change
of heart which has caused Mr..
Powderly's charge of profession.
No lawyer can belong to the
Knights OF Labor, and III becoming
lawyer Mr., Powderly will be
compelled not only to retire from
the cffice OF Master Workman, but
from the order itself.
I, Mr.. Poverty ont of love with
organized lab: or has he only con-
Guided that be is out of pace in its
ranks? Or is it becoming more
d difficult to salaries for himself auC
bis scciates by assessments upon
the workingment W ho really work
Mr.. Powderly's change of proiee'
sion suggests several curious in
quiries.
