A Plea For Egoism.

Ask yourself hard questions about
yourself; find out all you can about your
self. Ascertain from original sources if
you are really the manner of man you
say you are; if you are always honest; if
you always tell the square, perfect truth
in business deals; if your life is as good
and upright at II o'clock at night as it
is at noon; if yon are as good a temper
ance man alta fishing excursion as you
are at a Sunday picnic; if you are as
good when you go ont of the city as you
are at home; if, in short, you are really
the sort Of man your father hopes you
are and your sweetheart believes you to
be.-Panola (Tex.) Watchman.

"More Haste, Worse Speed"

Of all the tournaments" I ever saw,
one among the "dairy maids" at an agri-
cultural show was perhaps the last to
associate itself with that heroic proceed
ure which such a word suggests There
were about 40 of them armed with
"cAurns" and started at the same mo-
ment to make butter against time. Each
came provided with watch, and the
temptation was almost irresistible to
turn the handle of the machine as quick
ly as possible. But no, butter must be
"humored," not driven. The silent lists
were filed with the provokingly delib-
crate ''fip, flop" of 40 churns. One of
the slowest combatants won the race. l
never realized more plainly that ''most
haste is worst speed. ."-Cornhill Mag

Power of the Imagination.

81 never was more firmly convinced of
the power of imagination" said man,
ethan Twas by something that happened
to me on the occasion of a visit to friend.
1t had been an extremely hot day, and
when went to bed at night the heat
seemed almost insupportable. Itseemed
to me that if should open the door from
my room into the hall it would make a
little circulation and make the air more
comfortable, and felt safe in doing this
becauseI am an early riser, and knew
l could get the door shut before any
body was stirring in the morning. So
opened the door, with the pleasant result
that had anticipated, and when went
to close it in the morning found that l
had opened not the door into the hall,
but the door into closet. New York

AFTER HIS wATCa AND CHAIN.

New Jersey Creditors Seek to Attach the
Personal Effects of a Delaware Man.
Trenton, N. j., True American.
Some time ago Howard Hinckley of this
city, obtained judgment in the supreme
court of New Jersey against Lewis j..
Allen, formerly assistant supervisor of the
Pennsylvania railroad, for $3.50 for board.
After judgment was obtained Allen re-
moved to Dover, Del, where he now re-
sides. An execution was issued and re-
turned by the sheriff mo goods and
chattels." whereupon Messrs. Barton Il
Dawes, the plaintiffs counsel, applied to
Mr.. Justice Van Syckel for an order to ex-
anime Allen as to his assets. Edward w.
Evans, Esq, supreme court commissioner,
was appointed to take the examination.
Allen appeared and disclosed the fact that
a debt was due him for money loaned
amounting to $500 by a man in Colorado,
and he also possessed gold watch and
chain. presented to him last January by
and valued at $3.50.
The examination was adjourned before
its completion, and Allen refused to APP
pear at the subsequent sitting. The plain
lifts attorneys applied to Justice Van
Syckel for rule to show cause why re.
ceiver of the property admitted by Allen
should not be appointed. and he be at
tacneu Tor contempt IN refusing 10 appear.
Judge Chauncy II. Beasley appeared for
Allen, and the case was argued before
Justice Van Syckel, who filed an opinion
yesterday. to the effect that since Allen
had disclosed certain property he would
not be attached for contempt, but re.
ceiver would be appointed to receive such
property and apply it TO the payment of
the debt, and if necessary, go to Delaware
for the watch and chain, that being its
present locality. Upon presentment by
counsel, the receiver will be appointed.

TIE BRIDGE APPROACHES.

How the Approaches to the New Wash
ington Street Bridge win Probably be
Finally Fixed--The Public Annoyed Mt
the Delay. .Sfl-
The hating and delay in regard to
building the approaches to Washington
street bridge seem to be an annoyance
to the public. People ask why the work
was not finished before this. The bridge
is all ready for the public and yet the
most unimportant part of the undertake
ing, that would require but slight ex-
penditure and little time, remains I'M
done. 1t looks as if the cause Is some
unnecessary difference of opinion or
squabbling between the public bodies
or some one having responsibility in the
matter, in which the people who have
paid for the work are neither interested
nor care. The bridge constructor is not
to be blamed in the matter, for Oontrac-
tor Morrison has declared that his work
is finished.
On the north side all that is necessary
is the work of couple of teams for a
couple of hours, and then the north APP
proach would all be ready. The ques-
ton has been continually asked why
the north side grading has not been
done. There was an abundance of time
during the past three months Of fine
weather to accomplish the business.
Now it looks as if the big 60-feet wide
Washington street bridge is a most in
| viting passageway to green field and
woods beyond. That is exactly what it
is, for not sod of grass has been turned
and for all the public good 1t is, the
county, which has already expended
close to 100000 upon the enterprise,
gets no good Of the improvement. On
the southern side there is q gaping wide
ditch, dangerous aud capacious enough
to bury the neighboring Delaware Hos
pital. There is no decent reason why
some preparation for its filling in should
not have been commenced at least weeks
ago.
The grade along halfway of the
Brandywine frontage of the newsschool
building will be filled up to grade
Then there will be flight of steps to
the lower part of the lot, which will be
playground. This arrangement will
allow OF an entrance TO the school from
the parkway. tH M
