Feed Themselves.

Nobody does anything well for moth
ing, and certainly not lawyer. Lord
Mansfield was so sensible of this that
when on one occasion he had to attend
to some professional business OF his own
he took some guineas out of his purse
and put them into his waistcoat pocket
to give him the requisite stimulus. Sir
Anthony Malone, an Irish attorney gen.
eral, was 80 imprudent as to omit this
precaution and was grievously punish
ed for it, for he was so inattentive re-
garding some property he bought for
himself that he lost $4,000 a year by
it. In future he caused his clerk to
make an abstract Of the title deeds OF
any property he bought and lay it be-
fore him with fee of 8 guineas, prop
erly Endorsed, which the clerk was
scrupulously to account for, after which
Sir Anthony made no more mistakes, as
regarded at least his own affairs.

The POPULAR Esthetics of Color.

While blue is pre- eminently and over
whelmingly the masculine favorite, 1t
is by no means so general feminine
fayorite. The favorite woman's color,
standing at the head Of the female list,
is red. Roughly speaking, OF every 80
masculine votes 10 would be for blue
and 8 for red, while Of every 30 femi-
nine votes 4 would be for blue and for
red. Red and blue are thus much more
nearly equally popular among women
than among men. Other relatively
marked masculine preferences are for
the colors related to blue (blue violet
and violet), and other feminine prefer
ences are for lighter red Cor pink and, to
a less extent, for green and yellow.
Further, men conflne their selections 10
relatively fewer colors than do women,
and, finally, while all men and women
alike are much more apt to choose a
normal than a transitional color and q
darker than lighter shade, yet the tend
ency to do so (about the same In the
former direction) is markedly different
in the latter respect. OF 10 men 10 would
choose among the darker colors and only
2 among the lighter for the most pleas.

The We'll Dressed Man.

There is certain professor i'll GER
tain university Of the United States VINO
once, at the beginning OF one OF his lee
lures on fine arts, got on the subject or
the kind of pins worn in the necktles or
young college men. He was good lee
turer and was always interesting, but
this lecture was the most interesting OF
his course to the 500 boys who heard
him. and the whole hour was spent on
necktie pins, their use and misuse ana
what they suggested. The gist of what
he said was that there was no more
reason why boy should wear a horse
shoe with a whip across it all III gold
than that houses should have sieves for
roofs, and that as it was extremely
foolish to put big sieve on your mouse
for roof so 1t was quite as foolish 10
wear horseshoes on your neokties. Inc
principle Of this is that you should have
a reason in what you wear as well as IN
other things and that senseless deoora-
tons like horseshoes on neckties OF
neokties on horseshoes, are silly and IN
Incoming to self respecting person.
This particular example was only one
to illustrate principle. which Is that
nothing unusual, queer, out OF the or
binary, is in itself a good thing-that,
in fact, most things that are queer and
ont of the ordinary are likely, in the
question of dress, to be in bad taste. A
mans dress ought to be quiet. but II
must be clean and well taken care OF IN
every instance. The best dressed man IL
the man who, In whatever company ne
finds himself, IL inconspicuous; who.

Spiders and Their Ways.

We find as marked differences in hab-
its, tastes and characters among spiders
as among human beings. Some kinds
prefer always living in houses or Gel
lars, not seeming to care for any fresh
air or out of door exercise. Mr.. jesse
tells of two spiders that lived for 10
years in opposite corners of drawer
which was used for soap and candles.
Others delight in making burrows III
tic earth, in dwelling under stones or
behind the loose bark on trees, and 9TH
ers live under water. Many never leave
their webs, but patiently wait, hoping
some insect will become entangled in
the snares they have set. Others dash
about and seize upon every luckless in
sect that crosses their path. The most
adventurous of all are those that sail
out into the world ON one of their own
little threads.
In the bright autumn weather. if we
observe closely, we may sometimes see
some of our own small spiders ascend
to the tops of trees, fences and Other
high objects, rise ON their toes, turn the
spinners upward, throw out quantity
of silk and sail away. They grasp the
silken thread with their feet and seen
to be enjoying themselves as much a

A Famous Palace.

The Chateau de Rambouillet, which
is now the favorite residence of the
president of the French republic, has a
history remote from the literary fad OF
the eighteenth century which has made
the word Rambouillet significant Of an
epoch of French culture. II was in this
chateau that Francis l breathed his last
and Charles X was deserted III his
death. 1t is not generally known, how
ever. how Louis XVI became Its propri-
etor. Until 1885 Rambouillet belonged
to the Due do Penthievre, grandson of
Louis XIV and Mime. de Montespan.
Louis XVI wished very much to possess
it. This desire became a fixed passion,
which was augmented by his dislike OF
its owner. But one day he declared,
1.-THE possession Of Rambouillet would
be the happiness Of my life. =" To which
the duke graciously replied: "God for
bid that l should be the cause of your
unhappiness. Sire, Rambouillet is yours
ON your own terms. The price fixed
was IL, 900, 900 francs, of which 6, 600,
900 were paid the next day in gold from
the royal treasury.

Grant ON tho Battle of the wilderness.

The general in chief, Grant, talked
for some time with officers of the staff
about the results of the battle OF the
previous days. He said in this connec-
ton: "All things in this world are rela-
tive. While we were engaged IL the
Wilderness / could not keep from think
ing of the first fight ever saw-the
battle of Palo Alto. AS looked at the
long line of battle, consisting OF 5000
men, felt that General Taylor had such
a fearful responsibility resting upon him
that | wondered how he ever had the
nerve to assume it, and when, after the
fight, the casualties were reported and
the losses ascertained to be nearly 90 III
killed, wounded and missing, the en-
gagement assumed magnitude in my
eyes which was positively startling.
When the news of the victory reached
the States, the windows in every house
hold were illuminated, and it was
largely instrumental in making Genera
| Taylor president of the United States
Now, such an affair would scarcely b'
deemed important enough to report t.
headquarters. He little thought a
that moment that the battles then IL
progress would be chiefly instrumental
in making the commander himself pres
ident of the United States. Genera

A PSALM OF LEE.

Through the wild babel OF our fever'd time
The song Of Homer comoth, grave and stern,
With tidings from tho worlds fresh, healthy
prime
Tidings which our worn, wearied age con-
Germ.
Unchanged, through all the long, unnumbcrd
years,
The voice of Homer sings the song divine,
Which tells OF godlilre tolls, of heroes tears
And Of the punishment OF Priam's line.
The battle in the plain is raging yet;
The watch fires blaze the beak'd ships limo
the shore.
For us the foo in grim array is set.
All, but do we fight as they fought OF yorei
For we, too, like the heroes long ago,
Must wage slow wars and sail the bitter sea.
Fierce is the conflict, loud the teInpests blow,
And the waves roar and rage increasingly.
Still must we wander DER the stormy main,
'Twixt rocks and whirlpools dread passage
make,
Still must the sirens sing TO us In vain,
Still from the tolls of Circe must we break.
Turn. then, to Homers psalm OF life and see
How they endured whose pilgrimage Is don'
And hear tho message they have left for thee
Only by patience is the victory won.
