How TO Keep Young.

First, mingle with the young people,
take an interest in their plans, share
their enthusiasm, joys and hopes. Keep
in close touch with all their activities.
Do not patronize. but participate, and
the quick, warm pulsations of their
hearts will keep your own life currents
warm.
Second, cultivate your imagination
The secret of perennial youth lies large
ly here Freshness and vigor spring
from this source Read and commit po-
etry, live in the ideal. The unseen world
is more real than the visible, and out
from its mystic depths you shall COM
mand new worlds to appear. From the
visionary you shall create the visible
Third, walk close with God. A
Christian should find his enthusiasm
strengthening with his age, his faith in
men and things stronger and wiser, his
hope firmer based and the warmth and
fervor Of his affection for all the good
and beautiful and grand in nature, man
and God increasing continually. Youth
ever remains with such one. Angel
faces have no wrinkles. Keep yours like
theirs

One OF the $50 odd cases OF Allen Kirk
patrick against the stockholders OF the
Mechanics & Miners cooperative asso-
citation, that against John Bloy, was
begun in the circuit Yesterday morning.
1t will probably require the trying Of
three OF these cases to decide the whole
number. The issue is important though
each case involves but a small sum. The
entire claim Is about 5000, about $3 per
share pro rata. The costs in the cases
will amount to about five times the
amount OF the plaintiffs claim. Dunstan
& Hanchette appear for the plaintiff and
A. Il. Streeter for the defendants.

SUSPENDED IN SPACE.

Sir Robert Bali speculatss Upon the Pos
sibilities OF Such Experience.
Conceive that traveller were endow-
ed with some means of soaring aloft for
miles and thousands Of miles, still up
and mp, until at length he had attained
the awful height of nearly 900, 900
miles above the ground, suggests Sir
Robert Ball in his 'Story of the Heav-
ems" CHANGING down at the surface Of
that earth, which is at such stupen.
dous depth beneath, he would be able to
see wonderful birdseye view.
He would lose, no doubt, the details
OF towns and villages. The features in
such landscape would be whole conti-
nents and whole oceans, in so far az the
openings between the clouds would per-
NIT the earth's surface to be exposed.
At this stupendous elevation he could
try one Of the most interesting expert
ments that was ever in the power of a
philosopher. He could test whether the
earth's attraction was felt at such q
height, and he could measure the
amount of that attraction. Take for the
experiment a cork, a marble. or any
other object, large or small Hold it be-
tween the fingers and let go. Every one
knows what would happen in such a
case down here, but it required Sir
Isaac Newton to tell what would hap
pen in such case up there. Newton as
serts that the power Of the earth to at
tract bodies extends even to this great
height, and that the marble will fall.
This is the doctrine that we can now
test.
We are ready for the experiment.
The marble is released, and lol our
first exclamation is one of wonder. In
stead Of dropping instantly, the little
object appears to remain suspended.
We are OH the point of exclaiming that
we must have gone beyond the earth's
attraction, and that Newton is wrong.
when our attention is arrested. The
marble is beginning to move, SO slowly
that at first we have to watch it closely.
But the pace gradually improves, so
that the attraction is beyond all doubt,
until gradually acquiring more and
more velocity the marble speeds on its
long journey of 100000 miles to the
earth.

Drawing Room Weaving.

A new occupation and fashion among
English women is that Of drawing room
weaving upon light house looms. Upon
these looms hand woven table linen and
towels, with and without borders, are
made. Though the world is not suffer
ing for those hand woven products, they
are thought by some to have an artistic
value that machine woven fabrics have
not, and as we copy English fashions
sooner or later, it is predicted that ere
long American women, too, will per-
haps return to bygone occupation.
from which their grandmothers were
very thankful to be tree.

A COUNTRY LANE.

Between steep banks II winds along.
O'srhung with leafy hawthorn trees,
From which In spring the thrush's song
Floats softly ON the soft south breeze.
There IL the earliest primrose found.
And modest purple violets grow.
And trembling wind flowers star the ground,
And humble ragged robins blow.
There. too. on golden summer ewes
The old folks like 10 stroll and talk,
Or slowly, under whispering leaves.
The self absorbed young lovers walk,
While. fresh % youthful hopes. unfuri
New growths about their lingering feet.
And tender fronds Of fern uncurl,
And all the balmy air Is sweet.
With mingled scents Of thyme and musk,
And wilding roses, passion pale,
As trembles through the dewy dusk
The music of the nightingale,
And stealing from some hidden nook.
Adown the lane and DER the lea,
BY pleasant ways, silver brook
Runs. singing, 10 the silver sea.

Lions Become Unkinglike. Monkeys Ape
Humanity, and Dogs Are woefui.
Human beings are not the only ones
who suffer from seasickness by any
means. One hears good deal about the
pangs that have filled men and women
with woe, but little is said of the men,
ageries brought to America every year,
or carried hither and yon in wavetossed

Lions and tigers may be majestic

sick cat of these tribes is as forlorn as
any man ever was and doesn't look a
bit more kingly than wet rabbit. Even
its roars and growls have a weeping
sound in them, quite in keeping with
the general appearance of the beast
A monkey is as pitiful an object when
il is seasick as any other beast so strick-
en-, and its forlorn facial expression is
so human like and the way il clasps its
paws across its stomach is so natural
that the man who is not seasick neces-
sarily sees something TO laugh at in the
misery Of the creature. Not so with the
seasick man. IL he sees a seasick mon
key he is sure to swear furiously, think
ing the poor thing is mocking him.

ing on its launches and lifting its head,

NumberIug Thread.

The questions, why is spool cotton
numbered as it is; and why are figures
not used in regular order?" are often
asked. The explanation is this: The
numbers ON the spool express the num-
Der of hanks which are required to
wind a pound The very finest spinning
rarely exceeds 800 hanks to the pound.
while in the very coarsest there is about
half pound i'm each hank The more
common qualities, however, those from
which sewing thread is usually made,
run from 10 to 90 hanks to the pound,
and the spools on which 1t iswound are
numbered 10 TO 90 in accordance.

The First Court House.

1t is now proposed to reproduce the
first court house of Washington County
and place it among the exhibits of the
county at the Tennessee Centennial.
Some of the original logs will be used
in the reproduction. They are now in
a stable standing on the LOT of the
Washington House.
That readers may know what
kind of n building the first court was,
we give the order for its construction
passed by the County Court at its Nov
ember term 1884.
"The Court recommends that there
be a Court House built in the follow
ing manner, to wit: Twenty four feet
square, diamond corners, and hewed
down after the same is built, nine feet
high between the two floors and the
body of the house four feet high above
the upper floor, each floor to be neatly
laid with plank. The roof to be of
joint shingles hung with pegs, IA JUS
tees bench, and lawyers and clerks
bar, also q sheriff s box to sit in"

the house of Charles Robinson, near
Jonesboro, from the time it was organ.
