WORDS OF wlsDOM,

Many think Alright, but few execute
their plans when matured.
He only half dies who leaves an I'M
age of himself in his sons.
Beware of little expenses; small
leak will sink whole ship.
The more you love yourself the less
you will be loved by others.
Nothing makes us richer that does
not makes US more thankful.
The one who has suffered has key
that can unlock many hearts.
The day becomes longer every time
a lazy man looks at the clock.
Some people love each other with
out thinking anything about it.
Man makes the conscience oftener
than conscience makes the man.
We do not count mans years un-
til he has nothing else to count.
1t is much easier to love some pe0-
pie than it is to agree with them.
There is long and weary step be-
tween admiration and imitation.
No man is so insignificant as to be
sure his example can do no hurt.
The harder a woman's heart works,
the less liable it is to 60 on strike.
No one is useless in this world who
lightens the burden of it for another.
We should never advise, unless we
first consider how it will be accepted.
He that has never known ill-fortune
has never known himself or his virtue.
The resolution of a moment, with
some men has been the turning point
of infinite issues to the world.
The first virtue is to restrain the
tongue. He approaches nearest to the
gods who knows how to be silent, even
though he is in the right.
It is an old proverb thathe who aims
at the sun, to be sure will not reach it, \
but his arrow will fly higher than j
he aimed at an object on level with
himself.
Life is made up not of great sacrii
fees or duties, but of little things, iI
which smiles and kindness and small
obligations given habitually are wha1
win and preserve the heart and securf
comfort.

"What is this?" demanded Simmons,
turning Livingston around, and striving
to talm him.

A VISIT TO A LONDON GIN PALACE.

4 mission visitor OF one Of the London
churches thus describes her visit to n gin
palace: "Without, III the narrow, dirty
streets, misery and squalor on every side,
but within, all bright and gay. A throng Of
men and women crowded tho bars, many OF
them scarcely more than children in years,
but old in sin and on looking around and
lower, even upon the floor, were to be seen
as many rs thirty or Iorty little children,
many OF them babies. L ut first thought they
were asleep and ptied their neglected condi.
tion; but this feeling was quickly changed
to horror when wns assured that they were
all drunk-dead drunk, stupidity drunk-and
that some Of them had never been sober,
having actually been born saturated with the
accursed stuff and fed on it ever since. tho
result being visible in their old, pinched
faces and miserable. half-starved bodies
with nothing of babyhool about them."-

1ypIA's LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Rov. Thomas Evans says Of the liquor
traffic in India "This frightful evil con-
tinues to spread under the fostering care OF
q so-called Christian Government, most
anxious to collect public funds from any and
every source that will yield profit; and as
the Abkari Department is Il very prosperous
one, it Is in great favor. The Central Prov
ince Is the smallest and the most backward,
and yet even there the revenue from liquor
as we'll as opium-is advancing by leaps
and bounds. About ninety per cent. OF this
liquor revenue is derived from native-'nade
LIQUOR consumed by the natives, most OF
them poor people. and the increase is gong
on more or less throughout the whole land. .

CHAPTER VI

Itwas broad daylight when Livingston
and Simmons separated.
In the meantime Simmons had accom-
plished wonders. His familiarity with
the city and the heads of the depart
ments he found it necessary to visit,
Livingston regarded as great factors in
his favor, but making due allowance Tor
these, Simmons "came out strong," to
employ the language Livingston used
when the affair was discussed in all its
phases afterwards.
In the first place, he knew more OF the
murder of Major Dabney than the re-
porter who wrote up the account Livings'
ION had corrected in the Record. Sim

DRINK HAS DONE IT.

The body OF young man was found in
one of our cities. In his pocket was paper
on which was written tho words: This is
the end OF wasted life. Do not ask my
name It is drink that has done It," After
tho inquest the coroner received no fewer
than 200 letters from fathers and mothers
asking if there were any signs by which the
body could he Identified. --Cu:nberland Pres

most OF the sex. L ieo i1oSSs
The polonaise idea gains favor but
slowly, and the long apron, slightly
draped, appears to keep it company.
A costume that has some good sugges-
tions is of bouroutte diagonal in
black, with flecks of blue and white.
This is made up with bell skirt, with
panels of light blue cloth with plain
surface. There is a half-walstcoat
also of the light blue, the color show
ing only from the bust to the bodice,
and in open slashings to the tops OF
the darts on either side of the front.
A small V in the cuffs is the only
color on the sleeves.
Among the attractive novelties of
the season are materials with figures
that appear to be appliqued on the
fabric. One elegant costume is
decorated in this way with sprays OF
fern. The design is embroidered on,
and 80 carefully cut out around that
only a most critical examination de-
tects that it is other than part OF the
goods. This work is done by hand
for Paris house, but little OF the
material has thus far been used. 1t
is of course, enormously expensive
and very elegant, and Is used with
nlain material of the same shade.
wv is a great fashion this year.
Bonnets are made entirely OF ivy, with
little tufts of rose-pink roses in the
front and back. Many of the brown
hats are trimmed with cornaower-
blue, interspersed with mignonette
and peoples, whether of the new
cyclamen shade or red, blended with
aicrettes, which, of course, are black,
and no hat or bonnet would seem TO
be the fashion unless the blooms rest
on the hair.
There is nothing handsomer in COM
bination material for summer dresses
than embroidery, and the wonder Is
that it ever goes out of fashion. 1t
certainly does not stay out for any
length of time, and the return to
favor is marked by enthusiasm among
women of all classes.
Fancy panels are to be worn and
the very rich and costly ones of some
years ago, with appropriate modifi-
cations, are among the promised
novelties.

When he was asked how he knew the
artist, he promptly replied that his little
aiece, who had posed several times for
Beauchampe, had pointed him out on
two occasions.
Livingston's feet were like lead when
they left this man.
Simmons was as brisk and eager as
huntsman entering the field.
Livingston was silent; moody. Sim.
mons was talkative. Livingston had not
lost faith in his friend-he had lost all
faith in the ability of the agents OF the
law.
There was a terrible wrong done

but there was not the least reason to be.

peared through the entrance Of dingy

Simmons found him in heated con-

at the intruders

Our knowledge Of the paleface was linn
tied, but we had learned that he brought
goods whenever he came, and that our
people exchanged furs for his merchandise.
We also knew. somehow, that his com
plexion was white. that he wore short hair
on his head aud long hair on his face, and
that he had coat. trousers and hat, and
did not patronize blankets in the day
time. This was the picture we had form
ed OF the white man. SO we painted two
or three Of our number with white clay
and put on them birchen hats, which we
sewed up for the occasion. fastened piece
of fur to their chins for beard and al
tered their costume as much as lay within
our power. The white Of the birch bark
was made TO answer for their white shirts.
Their merchandise consisted of sand for
sugar, wild beans for coffee, dried leaves
for tea, pulverized earth for guDpowder,
pebbles for bullets, aud clear water for

these goods with skins Of squirrels, rabbits

Two small boys signaled a street car,
and when it stopped it was noticed that
the one boy was lame. With much solic-
itude the other boy helped the cripple
aboard the car, and after telling the con-
ductor 10 90 ahead returned TO the side
walk. The lame boy braced himself up in
his seat, so that he could look out of the
car window, and the other passengers OBJ
served that at intervals the little fellow
would wave his hand and smile. Follow
ing the direction Of his glances the passen-
gers saw the other boy running along the
sidewalk, straining every muscle to keep
up with the car. The passengers watched
his pautomime in silence for a few blocks,
and then a gentleman asked the lame boy
who the other boy was "My brother, I"
was the prompt reply. "Why does he not
ride with you In the carr" was the next
question. 'Cause he hasn't any money, +"
answered the lame boy sorrowfully. The
little runner was speedily invited into
the car. and the sympathetic questioner
not only paid his fare, but gave each boy
a quarter besides.-Ram' Horn.
