those who have apparently not suffered
In purse or health are a set of discon-
tented, blase, weary worldlings, who go
over the same treadmill of fashionable
existence year by year without pleasure
or profit
Another thing ] have noticed from
my vantage ground of a lifelong expe-
rience is, that if only as purely world
ly maxim, honesty Is certainly the best
policy. Many brilliant man I have
seen who has destroyed his prospects
by the crooked ways in which he sought
to better himself financially, politically
and even socially, whereas, if he had
walked honorably before all men he
would have gained the worlds good
opinion, and in many instances the very
things he coveted. And finally there
are the young married couples Of my
youth. In nine cases out Of ten those
of my friends who married poor young
men, and who gave up the luxuries of
their homes to prove veritable help
mates to the men Of their choice, are
now almost without exception prosper
Gus, and in many cases wealthy, while
those men and girls who married for
money are, as a rule, greatly in want
of it. BE good and you will be happy
is the old maxim, and certainly it seems
true from a materialistic as well as
from a religious point Of view"

Fooled by Gaudy Posters.

One day during Cetewayo's visit to
London, when he did not leave the
house, his black majesty was neither
sick nor sorry, but was merely engaged
in an occupation long years ranked by
Holy Writ as among the impossibilities.
Cetewayo cannot read, though he can
see, and he accepted the picture pos
ters on our walls as absolute gospel.
The one which attracted him most rep
resented a specimen Of black ivory who
had washed himself half white with a
certain soap.
The Zulu monarch thereupon pur-
chased half ton or so of that COM
modify and proceeded to make himself
"one Of u.s. as he phrased it. All the
day of his secluson he spent in his tub,
his chiefs diligently scrubbing and
soaping him till they were exhausted
with fatigue.
Cetewayo's disgust, when at dusk he
was raw with scrubbing, but still
black, was intense. He flung the rest
OF the soap at his faithful attendants,
and, oiling his tender skin, vowed never
to believe in poster again.-Weekly

For Fair Eyes.

Here are some maxims that 1t would
be well for every woman to pin beside
her mirror:
a well-groomed woman never shows
signs Of haste In her toilet.
She never permits unsightly wisps Of
hair TO stray over her collar or tenn
pies.
She never wears any but the neatest
of shoes and gloves.
She never wears a petticoat that
would not stand the inspection of her
dearest enemy.
She never uses scents and extracts
and permits herself only faint sachets
Of violet.
She never looks as though she pat
rcnized manicure; her hands are ex-
quisitely kept. but the nails do not
shine and are not sharply pointed
She never betrays the fact that her
gown has a placket

WOMAN AS A MAHOUT.
The Views of One of the Drivers of
EleDhantS

She can do her best work in the
world by turning her own talents to
account to smooth the path Of a man
whom she can sway and who has all
the possibilities before him, says the
London Spectator" So when the
woman does her utmost to use her
brain in his interest, to attend to all
tiresome details SO as to leave him free
as possible from petty cares and wor-
ries, then the man can concentrate the
whole of his energy in his work, and the
woman's ambition is vicariously salts
fled. She watches the friend, brother
and husband and feels, with a half
amused complacency. that but for her
bis end would never have been attain
ed. And this eternal watching and crit
icism develops in woman a greater
power of knowing what men will do
in particular circumstances. She has
seen so often before that par
ticular circumstances have par
ticular effects in determining the ac-
lions Of the workers. In the stress and
hurry of the fight the man is not con-
scieus which way the action is tending.
He is absorbed in doing the duty i'm
lnediately before him. The woman
looking on coolly can say to him: See
this line of conduct must lead to this
and this consequence; you have only to
take advantage of it and your success
will be assured"
1t is,therefore, because woman is es-
sentially looker-on that she Is so in
valuable as an adviser to man. To
many great man the advice of an
Egeria, even an Egeria of an obviously
anterior intellectual caliber to him
eelf, is almost essential. She can
watch and weigh the motives of his
adversaries, she can calculate the prob
able effect of his own actions, and still
more of his words, she can criticise his
past decisions and indicate the best
chance of success in the future In
fact, to be a woman is to be mahout--
driver of elephants. The goad with
which she steers the animal Is in her
hand, but yet she knows, as according
&c Rudyard Kipling, every mahout
knows, that some day, sooner or later,
the great beast VIII get beyond her con-
troll and may turn on her with terri

HOUDIN'S LITTLE SCHEME.
The PreStidigitator'S rIind-Reading
Performance Failed.

Robert HOudin, the preStidigitator,
who for many years was recognized as
the greatest magician of his time, was
the inventor of the mind reading
trick, which his followers are still using
effectively even to this day. Houdin
end his wife, who assisted him in his
performances, devised an elaborate and
intricate series of questions, each Of
which when propounded suggested the
proper answer to be made. The care
with which this system was arranged
may be inferred from the fact that Hou-
din had memorized 36S different ways
TO ask questions of his wife, and each
question furnished her clew to the an
swer she should make. Leaving the
stage, Houdin would step down into the
audience and request a spectator to
nand him any object whatsoever. Then
ne would ask his wife, who remained
on the stage, what the object was, and
she would instantly name 1T. He would
question her further about it, and she
would answer inquiries accurately.
For instance, if the magician asked,
What object do 1 hold in my hand?"
his wife instantly understood from the
AOA AAA VI tHt QutSllOu tlical liiC 1AlSWCi
should be "A silver watch" If he asked,
What object do I have in my hand?"
the answer would be "A gold watch"
After months of careful drilling and
rehearsal in private Houdin and his
wife were ready to introduce the trick
to the public. They did SO in Detroit.
After the audience had been informed
as to what the performers proposed to
do Houdin stepped down from the stage
to make the test. He picked out
farmer sitting in an aisle seat and said:
will you kindly give me some object
for a moment-any object Whatsoever
whatever you may happen to have ir
your pocket?"
The farmer instantly complied. Hou-
din glanced ait the article dubiously,
shook his head and returned to the plat
fern.

regret to find that the mental and electri-
cal conditions tonight are not satisfac-
tory for our experiment., and we shall
nave to postpone it,"
As soon as the performance was over
Houdin hurried to the box-office and in
tercepted the farmer as he was passing
out.
Say" he remarked, what was that
thing you handed to me to-mght?"
'Nothin' but buckeye" replied the
granger. i've carried that one goin
on seven year now. Sure cure for rheu-
matism. If you're bothered that way
I'd advise you to get one"
That night Houdin's list of 36S ques-
tions was expanded into 369.-Spring-

RUNNING SPANISH BLOCKADE.
The Rough Experiences of Some Gu
ban Volunteers From This Country.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
Capt. J. Chapleau, now in command of a
Cuban battery of insurgents, who was one
of a number of men who Joined an expe-
dition in this country for Cuba, was for
merly a resident of East Cambridge, and
was a member of company in the Ninth
regiment. He has sent the Herald a cou-
pie of letters giving an account of his ex-
periences in getting to Cuba, which are
filled with exciting adventures An idea
of the dangers of entering upon a fill
clustering expedition may be gathered
from an abstract of his story of the eX-
periences of this particular party. The
expedition was one of the strongest of
several which started for Cuba, and was
thoroughly equipped with large supply
of repeating rifles, reVolvers, machetes,
artillery pieces and a big supply of am
munition. The expedition numbered over
800 men.
The expedition left Portland harbor
early in November on tug and met an
other tug outside the harbor, which
carried lot of small arms and ammuni-
ton. Arrangements were made to meet
again outside the harbor and the tug
which was spoken left to return to Port
night, and the tug was to lay to until
midnight for the other one, after which
it was to steam to sea sixty miles and
fall in with the steamer which was to
take the party to Cuba. Unfortunately
a storm arose, and the two tugs failed
to see each other, and the boat which
carried the members of the party was
obliged to beat about all night In heavy
sea and rain storm.
The tug was very much crowded, and
the men were terribly seasick. After sail
ing about for several hours the tug finally
put to sea in the face of the storm and
at o clock in the afternoon the setamer
was sighted. BY 8 clock the men We're
all transferred from the tug to the steam
er and the supplies also safely slowed
Then the voyage to Cuba began in earnest
1t was rough all the way and the men
were pretty we'll used up as a result of
sickness. Capt. Weathersby and Capt
Joseph Chapleau, who gave an account
of the incidents of the trip, drilled the
men. The latter was commissioned a
captain and assigned to a battery of ar
tilery.
The expedition arrived off the coast of
Cuba on Nov. 10, and on Friday evening
Nov. Is, at about 10 O'Clock, the captain
of the steamer which carried the party
informed those in charge that it was
time to lower the boats and make for
the shore. Four large boats We're lower
ed and loaded with ammunition but they
were not large enough to hold the men
and the supplies and two more boats
were purchased from the steamer for
