bring it back one week from date. The
millionaire let him have it, and on time the
borrower brought it back.

man, "I've been square with you in this
matter, and | want to borrow $50 for two
weeks"
The old man shook his head.
"Sorry," said he, "but can't let you
have it.
"Why not q and the young nan was
greatly astonished,
HAeeaHse You have disappointed me,
and | dOp't want to be disappointed again. y
The borrower was more surprised than
ever.
"What do you mean by being disap-
pointed ?" be asked,
aThis," explained the moneyed man.
II let you have that $40, not expecting
ever to get it again, and did. Now, if I
let you have $50 1 would expect to get it
again, and never would. No, sir" he
added, conclusively, "one disappointment
is enough. Good-day," and that ended it.

A Cure for Sunburn.



If you have been badly sunburned Just
as soon as you can procure it apply to the
burned parts thick coating of white vase
line, which let remain for ten minutes or
more; then rub it off by applying soft
dry cloth gently; have a bowl of very hot
water brought to you and big linen towel
Dip the towel in the water, which must be
hot enough to steam, and almost bury your
face in it, but do not touch the skin with
it for some time; you should steam your
face this way for fifteen minutes, and by
that time every drop of blood in your body
will seem to be in your face. Then call for
more hot water, and apply it in slow, gentle
fashion to the skin for Is minutes. Then
put on a coating of the vaseliue, and lie
down for half an hour When you get up
you will be fresh as daisy, and your face
will not trouble you in the least OF course
the length of time for treatment will de-
pend upon how badly you are burned. But
an hour ought to fix you up all right.
Apply vaseline again on retiring.

Not Altogether Harmonious.

The choir was singing new arrange
ment of the beautiful anthem, "Consider
the Lilies" The pure, sweet voice of the
soprano rose clearly and distinctly in the
solo:
They toi-oi-oil not,
They toll not,
They toll not,
Ny-y-y-ther do they spin.
She paused and the tenor took up the
strain
Nee-ee-ee-ther do they spin,
They -toi-oi-oi-oil not,
They toll not,
They toll not,
Nee-ee-ee-ther do they spin.
The tenor ceased, and the basso, SOL
emn, red-haired young man, with some
what worldly looking eye and voice like
fog-horn, broke in
Nay-ay-ay-ayther do they spin,
They toi-oi-oil not,
They toll not,
They toll not,
Nay-ay-ay-ayther do they spin.
Then the voices of the three were lifted
up in semi-ehorus

Hominy and Happiness.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
"Behold the average colored laborer on
a southern plantation, said the Hon. P.
B. Winston, of Minnesota and Virginia.
Chow fat and sleek he looks; how his shin
ing eyes and smooth ebony skin reveals
the robust physical man. He is type of
perfect health, and to what does he owe
his superb condition? I'll tell you in two
words-corn bread. There is the grand
est food product in the world, and all honor
to the noble American who is trying to
teach the Old World people the various
delicious uses of corn, and the many pala-
table ways it can be prepared for the table.
eff it were not for corn 1 don't know
how many of the poor people of Virginia,
white and black, would exist. 1t is in
reality the mainstay of life in many To-
calities Of the old State But to really
love corn bread think one must be used
to it from childhood. Southern-born men
of the old regime commenced gnawing on
corn 'pones' when they were babies. AS
they grew older the 'pone' accompanied
them on every hunting and fishing expe-
dition, and SO, when maturity was reached,
porp ip some form OF other was wanted at
the table three times day. This fact will,
| think, initiate against any extensive use
Of the cereal as food among the people of
Europe-they haven't been used to it. 1t
has always puzzled me that our own
people, outside of the South, fail to ap-
preciate the glories of the maize. In the
great corn-groWing States of the West its
use is very limited, and the eastern mind,
SO far as corn is concerned, is bowling
wildness."

The questioner saw.

Someone has said that man is born
barbarian, and only raises himself above the
beast by culture. Culture, therefore, makes
the man; the more a man the higher.
Thanks to it Greece could call the rest of
the world barbarians. Ignorance is very
raw; nothing contributes so much to cul-
ture as knowledge. But even knowledge
is coarse if without elegance. Not only
must our intelligence be elegant, but
our desires, and above all our conversation
Some men are naturally elegantin internal
and external qualities, in their thoughts,
in their address, in their dress, which is
the rind of the soul, and in their talents,
which is its fruits. There are others, on
the other hand, so awkward that every
thing about them, even their very excel
lences, is tarnished by an intolerable and
barbaric want of neatness.

Palms have the reputation of possa sing
the largest leaves. Those of t-s ala
palm of the Amazon measure sometimes
1s feet in length and are almost equally
broad. The natives make tents of them.
The leaf of the cOCOanut is nearly 80 feet
long. A single leaf of the parasol mag
nolia, of Ceylon, may shade 10 Or 20 per-
sons. One of these, carried to England,
measured nearly 80 feet The largest leaf
grown in temperate climates is that of the
Victoria regia, which is sometimes seven
feet in diameter.

He Knew His Strength.

A Georgia fruit dealer had about his
store man of color who was noted for his
honesty. At least, he had been for the
six months he had been employed. When
the first load of watermelons for the season
was received, Aeke became worried and
Rervous, and just before closing for the
night he went to the proprietor.
'Is spec, boss, Tze got ter resign" he
said, twirling his hat in hand like shame

Gas Lamps as Weather Prophets.


William Elliott in Invention.
II beg leave to explain to you and the
public generally method of weather fore
casting which 1 discovered about eight or
ten years ago, and have since elaborated
daily. 1t is done by closely observing and
understanding the various shapes and
shades of the gas fame as visible in street
lamp about hundred yards off. The fol-
lowing prognostics will speak for them
selves:
"Prognostic-for snow-A clean, bright
light, with centre bright as silver. And,
as there is generally frost when snow comes,
it is indicated by a tail from the bottom
of the light, resembling wine bottle turn
ed upside down. The size of tail will
show the degree of frost.
"Prognostic for sunshine-The frost
tail is solid, but for sunshine it is made of
rays closely pressed together. There is a
very particular point to be observed here.
The moment the ray tail is seen, a simi-
lar tail is to be observed at certain stars,
and is not to be seen if there is to be no
sunshine next day.
"Prognostic for rain-RayS out from the
sides and bottom of the light candle fame
shade). The rain will be in proportion to
the rays.
"Prognostic for haze or fog-Haze has
the white fame, and the fog has the same
shade toned down nearly as the candle
fame. Cloudy and dull is indicated by
the pressure of the atmosphere.
"Prognostic for thunder-A very small
fame, but bright as silver, with the slight
est touch of mauve tone.
"Prognostic for wiud-The reflection
around this light, and in proportion will
be the wind or storm.
"The prognostic for heat-A hazy fur
around the light. The light must be about
hundred yards distant from you"

Atalantis is the name that will hereafter
dignity and distinguish a location in the
Atlantic Ocean about sixteen miles east Of

ton of this building win consist of thirty
six iron cylinders fifteen feet in diameter
and 12O feet in length. These piles will
extend thirty feet below the bed of the

according to the claim of the engineer, by
girders, cross-bracings and in other ways,
SO as to defy the mightiest storm wave that

No matter how richly man may be
endowed by nature, if the training of home
and school has not made him master of his
own body and mind, he fails to leave after
him work that marks him as above the
average. Endowments unframed, uncOn-
trolled, unguidei, are no more valuable to
man than the power of speed would be to
horse who had never known any harness.
Itis trained power, not unframed freedom,
that makes man valuable.

poor creatures left to perish miserably.
Dogs and cats and domestic fowls were
shot with wanton cruelty and everywhere
was the destruction terrible and complete.
The unfortunate inhabitants of the valley
who escaped with their lives were compelled
to flee from their once happy homes to
distant settlements. Few survived the
horrors of the awful fight. Distracted
mothers hurried their children through
the wilderness, and when their little ones
tainted and died on the way they folded
the ifeless bodies to their hearts, and
bore them many toilsome mile in order
to save them from the hungry wolves.
Young and lovely girls, whose handsome
forms and fair faces were the pride of the
settlements, dragging their weary limbs they
knew not whittier, lost their way on the
mountains or hid in caverns, and there
mourned and died, ending their young and
innocent lives in the pangs Of starvation.
Lovely Wyoming was desOlate. War is
in every way an enormous evil and when
carried on by ignorant and barbamous peo-
pie, to whom the reinements Of so-called
''civilized" warfare are unknown, it must
necessarily involve scenes of terror and
desolation. But at the time Of which We
write, the greatest atrocities were COM
mitted by the whites as well as the saw
ages. We will give single incident Of
this massacre, an illustration of the times.
Several of the Tories had pursued some Of
the American militia to an island in the
river One of these being ferreted out OF
his place of concealment, recognized his
own brother among the enemy, and falling
upon his knees begged for his life. The
greetingand respose of the unnatural brother
was the following: $50 it is you, is it y?
All this is mighty fine, but you are d-m
rebel" saying which, he deliberately leveled
his rife and shot him dead upon the spot.
