WISE WORDS.

Our sympathy Is cold to the relation
of distant misery. .-Gibbon.
Next to love, sympathy is the di.
vinest passion of the human heart
Burke.
The generous heart should scorn
pleasure which gives others pain
Thomson.
With the soul that ever felt the
sting of sorrow, sorrow is q sacred
ng.-Cowper.
Shame on those hearts of stone that
cannot melt in soft adoption of anoth-
er's sorrow!-A. Hill.
All sympathy not consistent with
acknowledged virtue is but distin-
guished sel6shness. -Coleridge.
More hopeful than all wisdom or
counsel is one draught of simple hui
man pity that will not forsake U.S.
George Eliot.
One of the greatest of all mental
pleasures is to have our thoughts
often OWNED, even entered into with
sympathy.-L. E. Landon.
Open your hearts to sympathy, but
close them to dependency. The
flower which opens to receive the
light of day shuts against rain
Beattie.
To rejoice in another's prosperity,
is to give content to your own lot; to
mitigate another's grief, is to allevi-
ate or dispel your own.-Lyron Ed

Our sympathy is never very deep
unless founded on our own feelings.
We pity, but we do not enter into the
grief which we have never felt.--L.

Personal magnetism is the conductor

THE BREAKFAST OATMEAL,

Mrs. Rorer gives succinct and
simple formula that is infallible if
carefully followed: Add four heaping
tablespoonfuls oatmeal to one quart
of boiling water, add teaspoonful OF
salt; mix, and put the whole in a
double boiler. Fill the lower boiler
with boiling water, stand the inside
boiler in this, and boil rapidly twenty
minutes, then push the boiler to one
side of the range, and cook slowly
over night. The oatmeal must not be
stirred after the first mixing it can
not burn in double boiler, unless
the under boiler becomes dry-as the
stirring makes the mush starchy or
waxy, and also spoils its flavor. Oat-
meal made after this receipt will be
light, each grain separate, but swollen
to three times its original size, and
will have delicious flavor. Turn it
out carefully into the dish, without
stirring or breaking the grains

Chinese Discipline.

Admiral Lang, of the Chinese SER
vice, tells how one night he returned
to the deck of the Chinese warship
Ting md found it utterly de-
serted. The sentry's gun was lying
against the bulwarks, but the sentry
himself was invisible. The Admiral
proceeded to the stateroom of Admiral
Ting, who is now in command of the
Chinese Navy, and found that worthy
deeply engaged in game of cards, his
partner being the sentry. Rage leaped
from the eyes of the English officer,
and, though he did not say much, the
sentry thought it prudent to return to
his duty. Then Admiral Lang "went
straight" for his Celestial confrere,
and asked what his strange proceed
ing meant. Admiral Ting took it very
calmly, and blandly explained that,
all the officers and men being away
from the ship that night, he felt lone
some, and having no one else with
whom he could while away the time
pleasantly, he had sent his boy for
the sentry to play a quiet rubber,
which the entrance of Admiral Lang
had interrupted. New Orleans Plea

Vermonters use machinery to COM
pete with Italy in quarrying marble.
The beautiful marble of Carrara,
Italy, is all quarried by hand, but the
italian quarrymen take more risks,
for they do not hesitate to use powder
for blasting the marble itself. The
powder penetrates the marble, and
though it may not be noticed at first
the black specks are sure to come to

The italian Government has tried to

on to primitive methods and doing
what has been done in the 500 quar-
ries in the mountains around Carrara
ever since gunpowder was used for
quarrylng purposes. The Carrara
quarrymen literally takes his life in
his hands in many of the quarr1es, for
he often is swung over the side of the
marble precipice and "chug-chugs"
with his hand drill suspended in mid
air. When this aerial quarryman has
drilled his holes and loaded them with
blasting powder, he is pulled out of
harms way and the marble block,
ripped from its lofty bed by the blast,
tumbles down the mountain side,
sometimes being shattered into frag-
ments. Chicago Record.

A Singular French Timepiece.

The latest among these curious time
pieces is constructed as follows: A
suntiower of silver protrudes from a
white crystal vase, graceful in shape
and soberly decorated. The stalk is
of brown gilt, the leaves green, the
petals yellow, and the heart of the
flower oxidized. Hour and minute
marks are engraved around the heart
of this sunfower, which faces the
looker-on. A lady-bird of spotted red
enameled gold apparently rests on the
flower, on the line dividing the heart
from the petals. This pretty insect,
which moves imperceptibly by means
of a mechanism hidden within the
flower, shows the time. By only close
inspection can one detect the time di-
visions on this original dial, which is
granulated all over and is BLUSH
black. As to the hollow circular line
on which the lady-bird travels, it Is
completely invisible. -Jewelers7 Cir

Gray Wolves in Montana.

The gray wolves are on the rampage
In the northern part of Gallatin County,.
Montana. Already they have killed
hundreds of calves and in some in
stances have been known to attack
steers and COWS that became separated
from the herd. They do far more dam
age than the sneaking coyote, for the
large wolves are much stronger, are
more fleet, and when hungry they are
courageous and take desperate chances.
The gray wolf is the fiercest of his
species, and many man in the great
woods of the East and North has been
killed by them, says the Portland Ore
gonian. A few days ago farmer in
the northern part of the county shut
two large-sized colts in corral while
he took his team to field. When he
came back after the colts few hours
later he found both had been killed by
the wolves. Another stockman, while
riding over the hills, came across two
large steers that had been carrying on
an unequal fight with wolves. The
two steers were surrounded by a mum.
Der of big gray creatures and several
coyotes, which had been running the
cattle about. The steers were badly
bitten and they were nearly exhausted
with the unequal struggle. At the ap-
pearance of the stockman the wolves
and coyotes skunk away. When the
winter finally sets in and it becomes a
difficult matter for them to get calf
or sheep, the stockmen fear that

They will then go in bands and will

Dangerous Place to Live.

The number of deaths caused by
wild animals is increasing greatly in
India, snake bites heading the list last
year with 2l,000 victims. Of $500
persons who were killed by animals,
tigers killed nearly 1,000; leopards,
29l; wolves, Us; bears, III, and ele.
plants, 6S. Ninety thousand head of
cattle were destroyed, an increase of
5000 over the year before. On the
other hand, $4,000 wild beasts were
killed, including nearly 1900 tigers
and over 1000 leopards, besides almost
10000 deadly snakes.

THE souRING oF MILK.

A professor IN the Michigan Agri-
cultural College speaks of atmospheric
microbes from the foul air of stables
getting into milk and causing it to
"sour and spoil" This language i'm
plies that the souring of milk must of
necessity result from its contact with
air that is impure. Instead of this
the souring is always the result of
contact of the milk with the oxygen
of the atmosphere. There are always
some Impurities in air, and these cause
it to spoil, the oxygen making this
spelling more rapid. If all impurities
could be kept out of milk, it would
sour without spelling. But when
milk is in contact with air no matter
how pure it may seem, this is impos-
sible. Souring thus necessarily means
that the milk will continue to ferment
until it becomes rotten or spoiled.
The Michigan professor, however,
makes mistake in suggesting the
possibility of milking through tubes
into close cans, in order to keep out
the injurious microbes always found
in the air. The air always fills the
open space in the cows teats, and thus
the milk even before it leaves them
must have some impurities. The only
way to have milk entirely pure is to
sterilize it by subjecting it to enough
heat to destroy all injurious microbes
No care in milking can ever entirely
prevent their entrance into it.-Bos.

General Rule.

Among Baron Haussmann's recol-
lections of his earlier experience as a
public administrator, is one of an in
terview with Casimir-P Perier, grand
father of the French President, not long
before that much lamented statesman
died, in 1882, of cholera. Young
Haussmann had been making an Off
cial tour of the district of Poitiers, and
on his return to Paris was summoned
before Casimir- Perier, who had recently
become President of the Council.
The young man had to answer a
thousand questions, many of them of
a delicate nature about the condition
of political parties in the department,
the possible influence of the admins
tration in the legislative elections, and
so on.
In the course of the conversation
something was said about the wife of
one of the projects, whereupon young
Haussmann spoke warmly of her do
mestic virtues, with which he had been
greatly impressed.
"Oh yes" said NJ. Casimir-P Perier,
"but she is too common body for a
town which contains so many we'll bred
and cultivated people," And he added,
laughing:
81 shall be obliged to establish, by
the side of my cabinet, a marriage
bureau for my functionaries. Look
out for yourself |"
But the wary statesman gave his
youthful subodinate practical hint
about the diplomacy to be observed in
the treatment of such themes. As
Haussmann had his hand upon the
door, the President called him back.
"By the way" said he, ga young of
ficer ought always to find the wives
and daughters of deputies amiable and
even pretty"
That was all; but as Haussmann
went down the stairs, he remembered
to have spoken slightingly some time
before of the wife of certain deputy,
who was as tiresome as she was ugly.
He wondered, he says, how the Presi,
dent of the Council could have heard
of the matter, but he accepted the re-
buke and laid to heart the lesson.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
INITIAL LETTERS.

An easy way of putting large initial
letters on pillow-cases, pillow-shams
and towels is to use white carnation
braid to cover the stamped lines. The
braid is so woven that when applied
it has much the effect of raised or
padded embroidery. 1t should be
wet and dried before using to prevent
shrinking. It is applied to the pat
tern by sewing it "over and over"
The same braid is very pretty when
used to outline pattern on the bor-
der of tea-cloth, either on white or
colored linen or denim. New York

Engineer Strong, of Salem, VIII Make

The Council convened in adjourned
session Thursday evening. The officers
and all members present except Herrick
and Vincent.
The object of the meeting was to meet
Civil Engineer j. B. Strong, of Salem.
Mr.. Strong had been over the premises
West of town and thought that about 923
acres would be sufficient territory to in
clude in the water shed, and from a
birdseye view taken of the situaOion, he
thought that water in abundance could
be obtained. He said that he would take
the leveIs, make survey and a map of
the premises for $175. The offer was ac-
cepted and he began the work at once.
The Council then adjourned.
