HONOR, NOT -hONORS.

Denser and mightier hour by hour
Swells the throng upon life's highway,
Fiercer the struggle for place and power,
Till the giants of old were as babes today,
And the heart of the novice with child dis
may
Grows faint at the sight Of the hopeless race,
For how shall he soar, if there be not space
For the strong, swift beat Of his wings to
play?
True, there may be many that throng the start
And eagerly jostle place to win,
But only the patient and stout of heart
Go on as bravely as they begin
And the ranks Of the runners are struggling
thin
When the road grows steep and the pathway
rough,
And each will find there is room enough,
As he nears the goal where the race comes i'll.
Yet not to all is the lot assigned
To win the laurel and wear the crown,
For fate is tickle and fortune blind
And sheds unseeing her smile Or frown.
And the foremost runner is smtten down.
When the bay clad summit is well nigh scaled.
What then? Of truth to have striven and
failed
Is nobler thing than unearned renownl
For the deafening roar Of the cheering crowd
Falls sweet on vanity's eager ear,
And the fool is fattered if praise be loud,
And discerns not the true from the insincere.
But the still small voice that the wise hold
dear
Is the voice that whispers within the breast:
'fThou hast fought thy battle and done thy
best.
When thy Captain calls, thou hast naught to
fear"
Then work while the blood in your veins run
strong;
While limbs are supple and hearts are light;
While life is summer, and days are long,
Ere winter comes with its sunless night.
What though the deed that is done be slight,
Feebly wrought and with lack Of skill!
Not the work itself, but the workers will
Availeth aught in the Masters sight.
False and hollow the voice of fame,
Fades the gilt on her glittering scroll,
Nor halls she any with full acclaim,
Till she hears the lznell of his passing toll,
Then seek not place on the heroes roll,
But take for your guide, in the world despite,
Not ''What shall it profit9' but "God and
Right
Honor, not "Honors," " shall be your goal.
&C. E. j. in Spectator.

Of anxiety. AS she walked down 10 the
postoffice every morning and evening
her heart alternately throbbed with
hope and grew faint with dread. Should
the story be accepted Miss Mahala would
be encouraged to go on, and Margaret
was dismayed at the endless labyrinth
into which her first apparently innocent
deception would lead her, for she felt
she could never bring herself to wound
Miss Mahala's pride by revealing what
she had done. But, on the other hand,
If her Judgment had been at fault, and
the story should be returned, what would
Miss Mahala say when she saw how her
work had been tampered with, revised,
corrected, changed, not by ''the printer"
but by her presumptuous niece, without
her consent or knowledge, and how could
Margaret ever face her then?
At last letter came, whose contents
Margaret could not fail to guess. ''The
Story of Lois' had been accepted and
a check for its payment was inclosed.
Miss Mahala's withered cheeks flush
ed with pride. "Well, now, Margaret,
declare, you were right" she said
complacently, "and it's a real pity ]
didn't take to writing earlier in life,
for, as you say, might have been a
second Mrs. Sigourney by this time
But, come to think, it's queer the editor
didn't say anything about the rest Of
my 'Recollections. It would only have
been polite if he had mentioned them.
And, Margaret, do you think he has
paid me as much as my story is worth?
It's really great deal more than I ex-
pected, but still
"Do you know" she continued in
sudden confidence, "latterly began to
think he warn't going to take it, and
worrying about it day and night has al
most made me sick!''
1t was proud day for Miss Mahala
when she saw "The Story of Lois' in
print, with her own name appended in
clear cut capitals.
But when, after diligent comparison
with neat copy Of her own, she dis
covered the extent Of the alterations in
the text, her wrath arose, and she Bit
terly denounced ''the printer" for go
changing her story and "leaving out
half the words.' After awhile, how
ever, pride took the sting from such
petty annoyance.
A copy of the magazine, opened at
the beginning of her story, was kept
upon the center table, side by side with
q volume Of Mrs. Sigourney's poems.
And since she had proved herself "lit.
erary genius" and her neighbors and
friends had begun to look up to her as
such, Miss Mahala held herself even q
little higher and straighter than before.
''But ain t going to write any more
'Recollections, she said to Margaret
one cay. 'The truth is, I'm too old to
stand the strain and excitement. I'm
glad wrote that one, and proved my
self literary character, but 'The Story
of Lois has almost been the death of
me! Ny 'Recolleotions' must begin and
end with that. I've been a long time
coming to that conclusion, but I'm
thankful I've come to it at last"
And in her inmost heart Margaret
was thankful too.-Springfold Repub-
lican.

70 INVENTORS.

If you have made an invention you want
patent. And you want good one. There are
various kinds of patents. Some of them are
not worth keeping around the house. They
don't protect. 1t is as unsafe to trust to them
as to lightning rod without a ground con-
nectiOn. That is the kind an inventor is like
ly to get when he draws up his own specif1ca-
tionS, or trusts the work to an irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.
DO you want to know what the Press Claims
Company is? 1t is a syndicate of hundreds of
the leading papers of the United States, Or
ganiZed to protect those Of the subscribers
who have dealings with Government against
the impoSitionS of unScrupulouS claim agents.

1t Makes Such q Difference.

A Linn Grove girl found a package
Of love letters that had been written to
her mother by her father before they
were married. The daughter saw that
she could have little sport and read
them to her mother, substituting her
own name for that CT her mother and a
fine young man for that of her father.
The mother jumped up and down i'll her
chair, shifted her feet, seemed terribly
disgusted and forbade her daughter
having anything to do with a young
man who would write such sickening
and nonsensical stuff to girl When
the young lady handed the letter to her
mother to read, the house became so
still that one could hear the grass
growing in the back yard. Sioux Rap

Glass Bricks and Glass Cloth.

In these days of paper boats and pa
per wheels it is hardly surprising that
bricks Of glass should be employed.
Such bricks, recently manufactured in
Silesia for the walls and roofs Of WIN
ter gardens and plant houses, are made
hollow, about one-third of the entire
cubical content of each brick being oc-
cupied by chamber filed with rare
fed air.
The purpose Of this contrivance is to
prevent the too rapid passage of heat
between the in.erior and exterior Of the
wall, the inclosed air being poor con-
ductOr of heat.
The bricks are firmly united by ce-
ment, and thus tho possibility of con-
structing a glass house without the en-
ployment Of skeleton of iron, as in
the Crystal palace Of London. is proved.
Glass cloth seems far more difficult
thing to mako than glass bricks, yet it
was brought into practical use as long
as half a century ago. Being spun into
threads of exceeding 1inoness, glass can
be woven like cotton Or silk One Of
the most common uses for glass cloth
today is in the making OF filters for lab
oratories
There is one advantage, at least, that
we should enjoy if glass garments ever
came into use, and that is that the
grease spot evil would be abolished for
ever.-Youth s Companion.

Some Old Roman Millionaires.

1t seems to mo that, taken in general.
we are very ignorant lot of people in
this last decade of tho nineteenth CEN
tury Our wealth, as much as we boast
of it, is comparatively puny as compar-
ed with the wealth of men Of old There
was Mark Antony's house that was
sold to Messala fer over 5000, 900, and
Scaurus' villa was burned at loss of
over $12,000,000. Ohio spent over
$14, 4,0O0,0 900 in finishing one wing of
palace commenced by Nero. Nearly
$36, ,000,0 were found in the Golfers
of Tiberius, and Caligula spent it all
in less than cne year. Paulus could

in the ordinary respiration of persons af-
fected with diphtheria Or consumption.
Therefore the warning against inhaling

sary. The real source of danger is in the

nary persons realize that all these dis

rock ballast for vessels departing from

was very particular and wanted "shin-
gle" rock-that is, small stone from the

found most of the ballast as large or
larger than paving stones. He expressed
his feelings i'll most decided manner,
but the reply was equally indignant, Or
at least seemed to be when the con-
tractor explained: "What would yez
have? Faith, these are no bigger than

cradle little Yankee eggs, but big goose
eggs, such as we have in ould Ireland,
