Discouragements.

Henry Ward Beecher, as. he came
down from the pulpit after giving one
of his best sermons, being asked how
how long he was in writing that sermon
replied Forty years intending to be
understood that the ability and elo-
quence there shown had required for
ty years to acquire.
Young people do not get discour-
aged should you see others doing bet
than you when you have tried as long
as they, you will probably do much
better than they.
Nothing of value is acquired without
labor, and nothing Of value is denied it.
a noted oculist when commended
for his skill he had shown in treating
an eye replied, "Yes, but | spoiled a
bushel Of eyes before could do that "
Goethe says, distinction in any
calling can be had for sixteen hours
a day for twenty years.
Naturally the human mind is averse
to labor. VIII YOU rouse yourself
and secure the things to which you
are entitled, or will YOU be the tenant
and serve a master.

Had Begun to Prosper.

A writer in the Detroit Free Press
tells a pathetically humorous story of
a friend of his, Jack Negly, a Cumber-
land farmer. The writer had lent Jack
few dollars, with which to buy pair
of steers, and had received from him
many visits of apology; for Jack was
an honest man, and did not enjoy being
in debt.
He was a renter, and at least every
other season he was occupying diff
ferent farm. BY my advice, he had
moved the year before into an entirely
new field, dozen miles from his usual
haunts, and l had not seen him for
several months. When | did see him,
at last, it was by accident, as business
called me into his neighborhood. AS
I rode past his place he hailed Inc from
the corn-feld and came out to the
fence.
Hello exclaimed Is this your
farm p
eyes, and | jist come over to tell
you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay
part of that claim NV your'n afore
long
You must be doing well?"
"Ithink I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm
powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer
headin me this way"
I'm always glad to help, if I can.
II knowed that, colonel, and that's
why come away over here 50 fer frum
home. Hits kinder strange to me, but
ez long ez IN dom ez well ez am I'm
a-goin' to stand hit
"Are you making any money!
Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
"No, I amt, colonel, - he replied,
hopefully; "but I'm losin' it slower n
I ever done in my life afore. "
1t struck me as rather odd at first,
but upon reflection l concluded that
jim might have reason for his hope
fulness.

Stockings.

Handsome stockings seem these days
to be a necessity with the up-to-date
woman ,accordingto the Chicago Times
Herald. In fact, this is a season Of
extravagant modes. Short skirts are
somewhat responsible for this bit Of
feminine luxury. French women have
always been fond of gorgeous stockings
But for many years American women
have affected sombre black stockings,
varying them with colored ones to
match evening slippers and gowns.
Last season, however, they took the
suggestion from the Partisan dame,
and colored hosiery was worn to some
extent. This spring bright tones are
much in demand. The latest novelty
in silk stockingis a changeable effect,
and two, and even three colors simmer
and CLEAN like piece Of tateta silk.
Some of the combinations are striking
and beautiful. A pretty one Is pale
green and lilac, another lilac and rose,
third violet and blue. Some Of the
openwork, changeable stockings show
yellow and olive The Graziella prom
ises to be much in vogue. The feet
are black and the tops colored. \ de-
cided novelty is called the Scupin. 1t
is woven in the foot pattern. The foot
and the back are black up to the toy
of the boot, and the colored top is in
geniousIy brought down almost to the
toe in front, the back forming Van
Dyke points on each side Nothing
looks prettier with dainty organizes
and colored thin gowns than a shot
silk stocking in colors to harmonic
with the gown. The most brilliant
stocking is styled the Dahomey. Plaids
in various colors are also much in de-
mand.

body of Minnie Shesler. She had
been killed with the ak, her skull
having been split open with one blow.
We looked about the room for other
evidence of the fend's work, but no.
ticed nothing at the time. Upon one
of the beds in this room was pile of
clothing, but we did not hink to look
under it.
1--WE went downstairs after that be-
cause DR.. Cooper had arrived. 1t was
then that Schaible, who, it appears,
was in the stable loft and had wit
messed Dunham's action after the kill
ing of McGlincy, said he was pretty
sure the young man had shot and
killed Brisco after he had disposed Of
his father-in-law. This last killing
accounted for the scrambling and crash
l heard as | was fleeing from the scene
of poor old McGlincy's murder. We
went with Schaible and, sure enough,
found Briscoe's corpse lying face down
ward behind the little cabin.
He had been shot. 1t was now
about l o'clock in the morning and we
concluded that We would make another
search of the residence in order to see
if we could find any traces Of Mrs.
Durham, the wife of the slayer.
I'VE did find her body. She had
been strangled by the forcing Of
piece of cloth into her throat. BY
her side lay her little three-weeks-old
baby. 1t was alive-the only human
life jim Durham spared that it was in
his power to take. The little one
crowed when We picked him up.

A reward of$l 900 has been offered
for the capture of the murderer, but
notwithstanding the fact that a large
body of men have been searching for
him, and blood-hounds We're put on his
track, he has not yet been appre-
hended.
The rancho owned by the McGlin-
cys, which belonged to Mrs. McGlincy,
is said to have been worth about $780,
900. It's asserted that Durham, the
murderer, who was shrewd business
man, was worth about $25,0 900.

Cost Of the Queens Household.

"Will You assist in legislation de-
signed to reduce the drink bill of the
Queens household?' was the queer
question put to the liberal candidate
for North Aberdeen during the con-
test which ended Friday night in the
defeat of the sociahstic labor candidate
by an unexpectedly narrow majority.
The candidate had never given any
consideration to Queen Victoria's do
nestle arrangements,and gave vague,
soft answer,which ought to have turned
away wrath but which did not. He
estimates that the question lost him
some scores Of votes, and this is prob
ably correct, for the questioner and
his friends We're desperately in earnest.
1t seems that the Queens house
hold consumed last year over $4,000
worth of beer and $4,000 worth of
light wines. These totals do not in
clude the amount spent in drink at
Osborne and Balmoral, which, being
the Queens property, the cost of their
maintenance does not appear in the es-
innate dealt with by the House OF
Commons. Her Majesty, Of course,
has her own private cellars at all her
palaces, and probably the capital
locked up in wines is never less than a
quarter offs million dollars, but this
is nobody's business but her own.
Queen Victoria herself is most abste-

Lory Shots.

The longest distance that a shot has
been fired is a few yards yer 10 miles.
which was the range of Krupp's we'll
known monster 1870 ton steel gun,
firing a shot weighing 1900 pounds.
The Ill ton Armstrong gun has an ex-
treme range of IA miles, firing a shot
weighing /, 500 pounds and requiring
go pounds of powder. These guns,
however. proved too expensive, being
unable to stand firing 100 times, and
their manufacture has practically been
abandoned. The 90 ton Armstrong gun
hurls a solid shot for a distance Of ~
miles. and the discharge Of the gun can
not be heard at the place where the ball
strikes. From 10 to Is miles is the COM
puted range Of the most powerful guns
now made, and to obtain that range an
elevation of nearly 40 degrees is found
to be necessary. Quick firing runs are
more depended upon at the present day
than extreme length Of range, and in
this respect what is considered the most
wonderful Of guns, perhaps, is IL Of the
Maxims, which can fire rs many as 600
shots q minute and yet is SO light that
a soldier can carry it strapped to his
back, Financially regarded, the i'm
mense sum of S195, 900 was expended in
constructing the monster Krupp gun,
and each projectile cost 81. 100.
