He that does good to another does good

You can work out good character iss

It's not the loss itself, bat the estimate
Of the loss that troubles US.
The wind and the waves are slwsps on

1t is not by the gray hair that one knows
the age Of the heart
Elucttion is debt from the present to
future generations
The IL wide difference between the
courage and mere contempt OF life,
That which reuders life hurdensome TO
us generally arises from the abuse Of it,
The eilcctots are like Tightening; you

We're We as eloquent AS angels, yet We
should please some people more by listen

Trust him little who praises all, him
less who censures all and him less who
is indifferent to oil.
Avoid him who for mere curiosity asks
three questions running about a thing
that cannot interest him.
There is no besutfer of complexion, or

Joy and not pain around us.
Ambition is so powerful passion 10
the human breast that however high We

THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT.
How Were They Reared and How waa
the Material Gathered?

How Were They Reared and How waA
the Material Gathered?
The pyramids of Egypt, for long and
to this day included among the worlds
wonders, are to be regarded as marvel
Gus trlumphs Of mechanical skill. Of
these there are many scattered over the
Nile valley, some Of brick, some of stone
and of varied height The two largest
are in the neighborhood of Cairo They
are and have been for thousands of
years the most colossal monuments In
the world.
The largest, that of Cheops, in it's
original state is said to have been 800
feet high and the length of its base on
each side the same. 1t is built of huge
stones ranging from 2 to 4 feet in
height. 1t is now rugged and has the
character as we'll as the appearance of
four sided great stairway. The hollows
between the steps are believed to have
been filled in with white marble, which
would shine like snow under the bright
Egyptian sun. The pyramid is now
much reduced in height, not being more
than SOC feet. 1t is generally admitted
that the pyramids were bnilt for tombs
and ON certain astronomical principles.
There is an inner chamber where the
sarcOphagus was placed. When a mon
arch began to reign, he commenced to
build his tomb. When he died, his body
was placed in the sacred chamber pre-
pared for it, and the opening which led
to it WAS closed. The pyramid was
then completed. If the monarch reign
was bong, the pyramid was large. If
short, the pyramid was small.
How those great structures were
reared-how the huge masses were
broughttogether and putin their places
lis a question which has never been
satisfactorily answered. Of mechanical
forces some of the earlypeoples seem to
have had much more knowledge than
there is any direct record of.-Chicago

Ella Wheeler Wilcox has among her
collection of photographs one which she
always hands to visitors to her pleasant
''fat' without any explanation. 1t is a
picture of man with his back turned,
and so his face partially concealed, kiss
ing woman who is evidently herself.
If the visitor does not make any COM
ment, Mrs. Wilcox asks, "Why don t
you exclaim. But who is the man"
Most people do. It is my husband, of
course, but I like to surprise my &C
suaintances by not telling them that at
first" Any one who knows the ardent
affection existing between the poetess Of
passion and Mr.. Wilcox would not be
at all afraid that the kisser was not he,
SO long as the kissee was his wife. -

Kentuckians are always proud OF
their state in whatever department OF
human labor they may hold. Not long
ago a widow went to see marble cut
ter to get a tombstone for her late nus
band. She selected a plain one from his
stock and gave him an inscription to
put on it.
Cant do that, ma'am," he said po-
litely when he had read it.
"Why not?" she asked in surprise.

tThe following poem, never before publish
ed, was found in one Of Phillips Brooks early
notebooks, in which he jotted down thoughts
and memoranda.-Bosto Transcript
Along the noisy city ways
And in this rafting city car,
On this the dreariest of days,
Perplexed with business fret and jar,
When suddenly a young, sweet face
Looked on my petulance and pain
And lent it something of its grace
And charmed it into peace again.
The day was just as bleak without,
My neighbors just as cold within,
And truth was just as full of doubt,
The world was just as full of sin.
But in the light of that young smile
The world grew pure, the heart grew
warm,
And sunshine cleaned little whileN
Across the darkness of the storm.
/ did not care to seek her name
only said FGod bless thy life,
Thy sweet young grace be still the same,
Or happy maid or happy wife.
