Held in Memory.

We need tact quite as much as sympathy
when we speak of death; the death more
particularly of some one dear to friend or ac-
quaintance. Grief, to an almost abnormal
degree, sharpens the sensibilities, and by a
curious law of the mind difficult to COM
prehend, it creates in the individual Ger
tain acutenesS, Il certain fastidiousness, rs
it were, by which in many cases he becomes
alive not so much to the sympathy eX
pressed as to the form in which that sym
pathy has been protfered. In other words,
the mind of the sufferer has for the time
being become as sensitive to impressions as
that of a sick person, and as ready to be
hurt by trifes. The very tone of the voice
may jar, and one be hurt by mournful
cadence, and the other by note of hope,
or well meant but i'll chosen words in let
ters be as often cause for pain as the
'creaking of clumsy boots" to fever strick-
EN- patients.
Happily beDellcent nature in her own
time heals snch sorrow, and the part of
the friendly counselor, till that time be
come, is little better than intrusion. 1t is
when the attitude of the mind becomes
conventional2ed, "A forR of grief crystal
lied into definite rules Of observance that
the outsider desires to make protest-as
when u mourner waits year to the day
before drawing up the window shades or
admitting visitors; or as when only out of
town invitations are accepted; or one will
listen to music but draw the line at the
drama Yet even here there is so little
that is vital to which to make appeal that
avoidance of the subject seems rather the
easier way.-Harper's Bazaar.

Thaokoray and the Snowman.

Thackeray, who lost his mother when
about five years of age, was taken in
charge of by his aunt, Mrs. Ritchie, who
was alarmed on finding that her husbands
hat fitted the boy. She accordingly took
him to Sir James Clark. After an exam
ination the popular physician said:
Don't be afraid; he has large head,
but there is great deal in it,"
rhackeray had not only large head,
but he was tall and large altogether. He
used to tell his own story of the travelling
Snowman whom he found one day sitting
disconsolate by the roadside, because he
had just lost his giant. Thackeray asked
whether he might do for the place Crit
ically and seriously the Snowman exam
ined him and said
"Well, you're nigh tall enough, but Pm

Routes to the Gold Fields.

The "Argonauts" had several routes
among which to select. BY those from the
New England and the middle states the
Capc Horn route was generally preferred;
those from the southern states chose the
lsthmus of Panama or Nicaragua or Mexi-
co; while the hardy pioneers of the west,
who had become accustomed to prairie
travel, started in their covered wagons,
and. following buffalo trails, broke the
paths which in few months were plainly
outlined by the bleaching bones of their
beasts and the mounds Of dead companions
who had succumbed to the hardships of the
desert.
Many who could not leave their homes
sought to invest t!ieir capital in the seduc-
tive venture, and a cooperative plan was
generally adopted in the New Engiznd
states by which the services OF working
members were offset by fixed amount Of
money contributed by others. Hundreds
of companies were organized on this plan,
each OF them with physician, and in many
instances with chaplain also. Century.

just Why n Fat Man Pufis.

In suggesting new theory of the SUMS
light and heat to the members of the Bos-
ton Scientific society, Mr.. George Smith
showed scientific reasons why Fat man
should suffer more than lean one in sum-
mer.
The new thecSy, briefly put. is this:
Gravity is an ethercal force cnstipually
streaming from space through every solar
or celestial body. II the booty is not NOV
able with relation to some larger body,
this force Of gravity becomes that form Of
molecular motion which we call heat.
AS gravity depends upon the mass of a
body, and as heat is, according to MIR.
Smiths theory, in one sense gravity, it fol-
lows that tie larger body is the hotter.

there are many challies prettily sprinkled

tints embroidered with dots and printed

larity Of these fiimsy fabrics has produced
styles suited to them, Involving puffs, ruff
fles, panniers, drapenes and shlrrlngs Of
all sorts As usual, these special fashions
favor the slender woman rather than the
plump one, but the latter can always fall
buck ON the tailor made styles, which are
hers particularly, and which are not only
neat, but simple. Novices often proclaim
that plain styles are more difficult to make
successfully than fllrbelowed ones, but it
is nevertheless fact that much trimmed
gown badly made looks worse than sim
pie one equally badly made, for 1t has the
additional drawback Of pretentiousness.

brain and homely face used to try to
make things pleasant at home by express
ing her admiration of his talents and Civ
ing him the pet name Of "Brains." Her
delicate flattery did not seem to have much
influence upon him, though she kept it up
for whole year after their marriage. One
time not long ago, when she was In happy
frame of mating mood or meditative state,
she expressed her admiration of his comely
countenance, and at last went so far as to
say she weuld give him the pet name of

that head Of his came to his aid. Begging
candle ends from the theater he would 20
to his wretched little room and stick them
on tacks purposely nailed into the floor, as
the ends were too short for a candlestick.
There, lying fat on his stomach, the future
tragedian taught himself to read out of an
old copy of Johnson's dictionary.
''Ill wager can trip you up ON the first
page" said Laurence Hutton, on being
told this incident.
'Try me-" replied Barrett
