THE PHILOSOPHER.

The web of human fortunes is woven for
eternity.
The art of life is to know how to enjoy
little and to endure much.
The race Of mankind would perish did
they cease to aid each other.
1t is good to have the brain packed full of
images from the healthy past.
1t is to live twice when you can enjoy the
recollection of your former life.
Never do anything concerning the recti-
tude Of which you have doubt.
Doubts are not overcome with violence,
but with reason and understanding.
Love is the only thing that has a peren-
NAL root and that death cannot touch.
The two most precious things on this
side the grave are our reputation and our
life.
The time spent in brooding over troubles,
IL properly employed, would enable you to
surmount m.-Montreal Star.

listening with attentive ear.

They felt assured you knew nothing of

have succeeded even better than they
planned, for they have drawn off father,
too, and four of our best men into the
bargain. But to think that this old
scoundrcl Moreno should be in it!
We've always suspected the Ccralvo

Moreno, practically built his ranch for

the promptinss OF q depraved heart,
so everlastingly associated with that

aag insane, and he is now, no doubt,
doubly so that the jury have agreed

we will notice tie article, ard then
dismiss the erstwhile distiGg uished
gentleman with due contempt. In
speaking of his campaign against
Fitzhueh Lee, he describes the oppo-
sition ticket as broken down thor
sougl.bred in the lead. rascally old
=deserter in the shafts, and a "yaler
dog trotting under the wagon. 1t
may lie Of some interest to recall a
portion OF that fight. and especially
that part in reference to the "yaller
dog" The ''yaller dog was Mr..
Rufus a. Ayers, then candidate for
Attorney General. Mr.. Wise took
it upon himself, assisted by man
from Scott county. who was very
much meancr than Wise, to rake up
everything he could against the
"yalIcr dog" They succeeded in
scraping UP bunch Of lies, SO very
black and Infamous, that the black
est negro from the wilds Of Africa
| might blush for shame, and then,
when the gentleman whom Mr.. Wise
calls the "yaller dog" on the ticket
wrote to the Editor of the Richmond
IVhag and denounced the charges, o.
rather lies, as lies, Mr. Wise became
the ycrtiblc cur, not a "yaller dog,

This fact was noticed and spoken OF,
when one said that the rose would look
no other way save toward the light.
Experiments had been made with it, it
had been turned away from the window,
its face toward the gloom of the interior,
but in u little time it would resume its
old position. With wonderful persist
ence it refused to keep its face toward
the darkness and insisted on ever look
ing toward the light. The rose has its
lesson for us.
We should never allow ourselves to
face toward life's gloom. We should
never sit down in tho shadows of any
sorrow and let the night darken over us
into the gloom of despair. We should
turn our faces away toward the light
and quicken every energy for drawer
duty and truer, holier service. Grief
should always make US better and give
us new skill and power; it should make
our hearts softer, our spirits kindlier,
our touch more gentle; it should teach
us its holy lessons, and we should learn
them, and then go on with sorrows sa-
cred ordination upon us to new love and
better service.

The Tornado's Twist.

The tornado and the cause Of it's for
nation seem to be less perfectly under
stood than even the ever mysterious cleo
tricity. That a tornado has a violent
spiral motion and distinct ascending
movement is well established. The rapid
rotary motion tends to form vacuum
in the center Of the funnel shaped vol
ume, and this sucking force brings about
devastation. When tornado surrounds
a house, the air inside of it forces the
walls asunder instantly.
But the inception Of tornado and the
causes which lead up to it have not yet
been discovered. The scientist tells us
that the air of valleys becomes heated
and rises, cold air rushes in to take its
place, the wind hits against a hill, is
changed in its course and goes cavorting
down the valley, and that makes tor
nado. But what gives it the twist2 And
there are no mountains in the Missis-
sippi valley, but cyclones form there.
Weather bureaus, with all their costly,
delicate instruments, have never yet
satisfactorily explained what gives the
tornado it's twist. The world is looking
for man who can discover the tornado
in its native lair and definitely define,
distinguish and describe it. All this is
for the benefit of our neighbors of the
east, for the tornado never visits Cali
fornia.-San Jose Mercury.
