So long as you have to stop and think to do right, you are very mperfectly edu- cated. Two boys were going up the stairs of Cincinnati factory; there was a pail of naphtha on the landing; one boy threw his lighted cigarette in the pail thinking it water there was flash of upleaping flame. One of the boys ran down the stairs into the street to escape; the other boy ran up the stairs to warn women who were working there, that they might es- cape. Neither boy thought; each boy acted instinctively one boy was a cow ard in his sub-conscious life, the other boy was hero in his sub-conscious life, and neither of them knew 1t. We are not what we try to be, we are not what we think we are, we are what we are down below the liGn of our thought, below our conscious life-purpose.
 An amusing story is told satirizing the tendency of some women in New York society to search for a pedigree for their | families. The heroine of the tale is the daughter of a worthy Irishman, who has come over to this country and made for tune, and bears the name of John Divver. In seeking for a coat of arms she goes to the Astor library and consults a book of heraldry, from which she reaches the conclusion that Divver is really cOrrup- tion of De We're, and finds one of the re- mote bearers of it to have been named Elene. The next time she signs her name, Ellen Divver is transformed into Elene De We're. The incident, cOmical as it may seem, has had its parallel in real life, as probably more than one person can testify.

THE VERDICT.-In a certain county in Kentucky lived, just outside the county seat, a farmer who had plenty of money and was active in politics, but he had no ambition for office. He was a very pop ular man, and the time came at last when his friends said it was his duty to save his party by coming out as candidate for the legislature. He wouldn't listen to it, but they were so persistent that for his own peace of mind he finally agreed to run, but assured them he would make no effort to be elected, and they would have to do all the work.
 Having full confidence in the potency of his name, they put it at the head of their ticket and went into the campaign with vigOr. During it's continuance he showed little interest,", but on election day he went early to town and stayed there till the polls closed.
 By 10 o'clock that night the returns were in and nasty count showed that he had been overwhelmingly defeated Then he filled up and went home.
 ''Susan, Susan!" he whooped, when he got into the house. "I'm acquitted. Hoordy Ain't you glad!"
 "Why, George" she exclaimed, what do you mean? ?"
 "Why, Susan, Pm acquitted -acquit- ted; don't you understand? The jury was out all day, and they returned a yer dict tonight of not guilty, and Susan, I won't have to go to the legislature. Whoop! Hooray l"-Detroit Free Press.

 MARY CLEMENT LEAVITT, Vera Cruz, Mex. Honorary Life Pres. w. q. T. U.
 The seventy-third birthday of General Ulysses S. Grant was observed very gen. erally in the United States, April 27th. Undoubtedly the largest celebration was in Chicago. Mrs. Grant, her daughter, Mrs. Sartoris, and her granddaughter were present at the Auditorium exercises Sat- urday evening and received an ovation as they stepped into their fag-draped box. The leading orator or the occasion, Gen. O. O. Howard, made 8 special point of denying the current stories as to Grants use of liquors. He denounced them as libelously untrue, and said: "He was free from every appearance of drinking during the war. His clear eye and natural con- plexion afforded unmistakable evidence against the prevailing falsehoods to which have referred" Coming so unreservedly from such pronounced total abstainer as General Howard, this denial should have great weight with temperance peo- pl0

when dispatched to the Mapa river for the
purpose of cffecting the release of Captain
Traian, who had been captured by Cabra
after hauling down the French flag at
Counani within ''le tcrritoire conteste,
French Guiana.
For the services thus rendered by
Evariste to the country Of which he was Il
subject, Cabral decided his life should be
forfeited and as Evariyte traded in those
waters, it was only II matter of time till
the ferocious edict should be carried into
eff c..
Cabral readily obtained assistance, for
keeping a sharp lookout upon the river, as
he made 1t appear that but for the assist
anca so rendered by Egariste to the com
mander of the French warship, he would
not have been able to effect IA landing ut
Mapa, which resulted in the slaughter of
so many of the native people.

doomed Esariste as pilot, on board, ar

UNPAID HOTEL BILL
Causes SIater's Yacht Eleanor to Be-

Yacht Is Well-Known in Maine. Having Beer

San Francisco, Nov. 24.-T The Call says
w. A. Slater. Il Boston millionaire, who
has been cruising around the world in his
palatial yacht, Eleanor, hurriedly de
parted by train on Thursday night for his
home in the cast. He neglected to pay the
balance of his hotel bill at San Mateo, and
his yacht, which is anchored off Meiggs'
wharf, has been attached for $3.50, at the
instance OF the hotel managers.
The account has been overlooked for
some time, though the private secretary of
the Boston capitalist had promised an
early settlement when pressed for pay
ment. He failed to do so, however, and
now the sheriff will hold possession of the
yacht which is worth 100000 or so, until
the board bill is paid
