WORLDLY WISE.

A man never appreciates the
best of life until he has known the
worst of it.
Famous men are rarely truly
great it's just because you don't
know them.
1t is in the unfrequented by
ways that life is most charming.
DESTINATIONS charity has its
foundation in selfishness.
Money is not in itself evil 1t
all depends on the use it is put to.
Why is it fat people are sup
posed to lack sympathy?
A brand plucked from the bur-
ming" generally shows where it
was charred.
Goodness can be carried to ex-
cess, Just as we'll as other things.
An agnostic SCOTS at simple
faith, yet his everyday life is built
on it.
When we want to help our
neighbor in distress there is no
use in telling the rest Of the world
about it. Let him do that.
Why do we look at women's er-
rors through telescope. and re-
verse the glass when we view
those of men?
If you hunt over the Decalogue
carefully you will discover that
men have broken every law there.
in, and have been honored for it.

INFLICrING A PENALTY.

The Liverpool Cotton Associa-
ton, the autocrat of the cotton
world, has entered strong objec-
ton to the American method of
packing cotton. A letter was re-
ceived to-day by Superintende Mt
Power of the Cotton Exchange
from the secretary of the Liver
pool association, stating that the
association had passed a resOlu-
ton that after the expiration of
the coming season of 1885, all
bales not packed in accordance
with the regulations of the mari
time convention. held in New Or
leans last February, and the regu-
lations of the Galveston Cotton
Exchange, especially SO far as the
weight, clOseness of weaving, ca
rendering of bagging and weight
and size of band are concerned,
shall be- subject to a penalty of
five pounds bale.
The letter adds that sufficient
time is given for manufacturers to
dispose of the old style canvas
and ties, and the penalty will be
strictly enforced.
The New Orleans resolutions
provided that bale should be %
inches boxed width and So inches
boxed length, and all compressed
bales have a minimum shipside
density of Is pounds to the cubic
foot.
