FUTURE OF ELECTRICITY.
n Prophecy Concerning the Use OF Electri-
city in the Year 1900.

By 1900 | expect to see our homes
offices, stores, etc, heated by elect
ricity. This system of heating Is
entirely practicable, the only quest
ion involved being the all important
one, cost. 1t probably will be made
popular by supplying electricity
from large central stations through
street mains, connecting the premises
Herewith.
Electricity may then be used for
cooking and doing what mechanical
work may be necessary about the
house, store or factory. such S
running sewing machines, running
pumps, elevators, cash carriers, etc.
Besides these uses, OF course, it will
light our homes. 1t can be made to
perform all of those duties by simply
turning little handle or pushing a
button.
Electricity will be used to accom-
plish thousand and one different
things to save us labor, and in direct
ions little dreamed of at present.
New things and applications are
being constantly developed; it only
needs more popular familiarity
with them to find a wider use tor
them.

ated by electricity by that time, moi

ADVICE OF A SUCCESSFUL MAN

l think the habit of generosity
may be cultivated like other habits.
And ! have felt that it is a great
mistake to put off being generous
until you are dead. In the first
place you lose the pleasure of witness
ing the good that you may do; and
again, no one can administer your
gifts for you as well as you do it
yourself. 1t is a great pleasure 10
be brought into personal relations OF
that kind, and to make people feel
that you are not phllanthropist in
the abstract, but that youar interest
ed in them personally. and care tor
their welfare. In that way you
benefit them not merely in a natural
way, but you make them feel that
men are really brothers and that they
were made to heI p one another. Not
only is that feeling agreeable in itself
but it will be apt 10 prompt them 10
carry out the princi pies themselves.
Put yourself into all you do, and let
others feel that you are there Do
not only contribute 10 charitable
object, but go Yourself ami help. 1t
may seem an Inconvenience at first,
but sooa you will come to consider
it worth any Inconvenience.
Perhaps | ought to say word
ABOUT the companions loung man
should choose ter himself in lie
You should try 10 make companions
OF the best people you become
acquiDted with. In order TO do this
you must have something in youselt
that may be return to them for
what they give you. 1t is not neceS
sary for this purpose to be d genius,
or to have remarkable intellect, or
extraordinary erudition But be
yourself and and be man, and learn
to think of others before Yourself,
and you will have friends enough
and of the best. To be intimate with
the magnanimouS and the noble,
aids to form those qualities in ones
self. A man is known by the COM
pany he keeps, and those who know
what friends you have, will be able
to form a very correct idea OF what
you yourself are. You should see to
it that this estimate be as high as
your opportunity may secure.
cannot better sum up my advice
to young people than to say that
have derived, and still fud the
greatest pleasure in my life from do
ing good 10 others. Do good con-
stantIy, patiently and wisely, and
you vii! never have cause to say
that your life was not worth living.

A YOUNG Lawyers STRATAGEM.

The following is told of Timothy
Coffin, who was for a long time
Judge of the New Bedford District,
says the Boston Herald:
When very young man he was
retained in case Of sufficient import
ance to bring out almost every
resident OF the town, SO that the little
New Bedford court room was packed
when court opened that morning.
Coffin had been secured as counsel
by the defendant. Although it was
bis first attempt in open court, he
had made little or no preparation,
thinking that he could get through
somehow or other when the time
came. Thus, when the counse! for
the defendant came into court that
morning he was greatly surprised
and no less agitated to see the big
crowd and realize the wide interest
in the trial at nand,
He saw that he had looked upon
the case too lightly. The prosecut-
ion was strong, and he had made
not even slight preparation. To
lose the case meant the loss OF
hoped for reputation. Could he
afford tc commit this blunder by
displaying his ignorance of the case?
How could he get out of iti These
were a few of the questions that were
known to fash through the young
lawyers head, for afterward he him
self told Of the awful perplexity of
the hour.
Being a shrewd inventor, he de-
vised plan. AS soon as the court
had been called to order and the
crier had said his little say, he arose
and asked for a postponement of the
trial, on the ground that he had just
received telegram announcing the
sudden and fatal illness of his mother
who resided at Nantucket.
Scarcely had the words OF this
appeal proceeded from the lips of
young Coffin, when an elderly woman
quietly arose in the balcony Of the
court room and gave utterance to
these words: Timothy, Timothy,
how many times have | chastised
thee for lyin2?"
Timothy recognized the sound of
that voice only too well. 1t was
that of his mother. This being
Timothy's first public case, the old
lady had secretly come up to New
Bedford to see how we'll her son
would do. Her presence was, of
course, totally unknown to him. The
further developments need not be
recorded here. Suffice it to say that
Timothy Coffin in after years made
sure that his excuses would not be
thrown back at him by any member
of his own family. sSzss

C0NJUGAL STATISTICS.
The number of Married and Unmarried,
More Widows Than Vgidowers.

Inc first data on coniugal con
dltion in the United States ever
gathered by the government is given
N censns bulletin made public
recently. 1t shows that Of a total
population of 65,622 $50 in 1890,
almost thre fiths were single, little
more than one third married, and
not quite one twentieth were widowed.
The divorced constituted small
traction OF one per cent. The actual
numbers Of the classes are as follows:
Single, 37,I29 564; married, 22,331,-
424: widowed, 2.97o.o52 divorced,
12o,996, and unknown, 7o.2I4.
The male constituted over fifty
one per cent. of the total population.
OF 32,co7,SSo males in the country,
10 945,576 were single; 1I,2o5, 223
married; 8I5,437 widowed, and

were singh; 1I,126.Ie6 married ;

says the report, was nearly three
times as great as OF widowers, indi-
eating that greater portion of
widowers remarry than widows,
while figures show that divorced
men have remarked to greater
extent than divorced women. Twenty
