Dictionary of Discomfort,

Science, dear Lady Betty, has diminish
ed hope, knowledge has destroyed our illu-
sions, and experience has deprived us Of
interest. Here, then, is the authorized die
tionary Of discomfort:
What is creation? A failure.
What is life? A bore.
What is man? A fraud.
What is woman? Both a fraud and a
bore.
What is beauty? A deception.
What is love? A disease.
What is marriage? A mistake.
What is a wife? "A trial.
What is a child? A nuisance.
What is the devil? A fable.
What is good? Hypocrisy.
What is evil? Detection.
What is wisdom? Selfshness.
What is happiness? A delusion.
What is friendship? Humbug.
What is generosity2 Imbecility.
What is money? Everything.
And what is everything? Nothing.

Isn't it odd what a fascination the sub

Not that you are seeking to conceal any
facts, but once during each call or visit
having discussed the matter and resigned
yourself to having even the servants. know
that you were 80 or 81 last March, it does
seem that the theme might be dropped.
No matter how craftily the conversation
is veered off, back the old folks prance to
the juicy topic, and you are hauled up
again and again to prove the date Of the
birth Of Amelia's George by the fact that
you were II when he was born, which
makes him SO old last October, and re-
freshes their minds as tothe age Of Mary's
Ella, because you are Is months her senior.
Somehow you are always older than any

BlsMhRCk's TRAITS.
How the Old Chancellor Came Out Ahead
Of > Stupid Hotel Keeper.

Perhaps the chief trait Of Bismarck's
genius is to be found in his entire freedom
from the p~reconceived notions, and in the
limpidness Of his mind, which refused to
submit to accepted fallacies. This tendon
5cy in early age earned for him, Of the dull
pedantry and prime Philistines around
him, the sobriquet of "Tolle Bismarck
tho mad Bismarck-but later on it re-
suited in the complete demolition Of the
old system of diplomacy. For equivocation
and downright falsehood his powerful in
tellect substituted a kind of outrageous
frankness which bewildered and outwitted
his adversaries. Nothing, however, marks
his strong personality more wildly than
the intense hatreds and blind devotions
with which he has surrounded himself.
He had the courage to be himself, the
power to rely upon himself and to look at
things in the face, while the keen sense of
humor enabled him to see clearly the vast
array of sham and pompous pretense Of
public and private life.
Never had madness more method than
is shown by the originality of this strange
being, half Mephistopheles, half dragon,
who, before %subduing to his iron will the
whole of European diplomacy, shocked
and Mortified the fogies of the old school
with the innuendoes and insinuations, the
sarcasms and stories, the gibes and jokes
which he flung at their heads mercilessly
and continually. The wigged and powder
ed pomp which covered diplomatic pre-
tense and mendacity was torn aside the
instant that Prince Bismarck got a grip
Of political realities, and his first appear
ance among the dignifed excellencies Of
the German diet constituted a veritable
revolution.
The incidents of his early relations with
these empty headed "importants sans inn
portance'' offer perhaps the most racy of
the many anecdotes-in Prince Bismarck's
w words in many cases-in his Boswell,
his faithful secretary, DR.. Moritz Busch.
His first encounter at Frankfort was with
his hostler, who, like all the good bur-
ghers Of the free city at that time, was
intensely anti Prussian. The old hotel
where he put up, as Prussian delegate to
the diet, was not provided with a complete
system of bells, and Bismarck asked for
a hand bell at least, wherewith to commu-
nicate with his valet. But he was gruf1y
told there was none to spare, and that he
must shift for himself. Early next morn
ing the loud report of q pistol set all the
guests in a panic, with the exception of
Bismarck's servant, who explained that,
as no bell was forthcoming, his master had
summoned him by pistol shot. Five min
utes later the desired bell was placed with:

ON WHEELS.
The Evolution in the Means OF Transpor-
tation.

tation.
There has been an evolution in the
means Of transportation for man that is
very interesting. The more civilized q
people becomes the more exacting it
grows. The coaches now running be-
tween the Twin Cities and Chicago on
''The Milwaukee" are marvels OF elegance
and convenience. The private, compart-
ment cars, library buffet smoking cars
and free reclining chair cars are models
Of luxurious comfort, which in style and
furnishings r palatial enough for roy
atty itself. A great comfort for the trav-
eler on its sleepers and private compart-
ment cars is the electric berth reading
lamp, which is an exclusive feature with
"The Milwaukee," The heating is all
done by steam, thus doing away with
the ~old-fashioned stove. BY all these
means this line has been enabled to re-
duce the fatigue incident to travel to a
minimum, and consequently is always
popular.
The great popularity of the G. M. &
st. P. Ry. with the travelling public was
never more c%onclusively demonstrated
than during the period of the Worlds
Fair. The unprecedented passenger
business handled by this road at that
time between the Northwest and Chi
cago is without parallel in the history of
railroading in the Western States.
NoTE.-Five handsome trains each
day from st. Paul and Minneapolis to
Milwaukee and Chicago. Private COM
partment cars; library buffet smoking
cars; palace sleeping cars; free reclining
cars-all heated by steam. The electric
light and electric berth reading lamp
are exclusive features. Ticket agents
everywhere sell tickets via "The Mil

Glassmaking.

Much mystery has in times past attach,
ed to the art of glassmaking. It was for
merly the customfor tho workmen, in set
ting pots in the glass furnace, to protect
themselves from the heat by dressing in
the skins of wild animals from head to
foot. To this queer garb were added glass
google eyes,, and thus the most hideous
looking monsters were readily presented
to the eye. Show was made Of themselves
in the neighborhood to the infinite alarm
Of children, old women and others.-Bos-
