WISE WORDS.

Reckless youth makes rueful age.
A breakfast table or long voyage
for close acquaintance.
Cultivation to the mind is as neces-
sary as food to the body.
Once your friend does you an i'll
turn he will never forgive you.
A life spent worthily should be
measured by deeds, not years,
No one knows the right way so well
as one who has once been misled.
o, what tangled web we weave,
when, first we practice to deceive.
The earnestness of life is the only
passport to the satisfaction Of life.
Sometimes genius may he bound or
barred for time, but she will ont.
Common sense in an uncommon de-
gree is what the world calls wisdom.
To ENJOY ones work is no less nee
essary than to enjoy the definite re-
suit of it.
The people who pray hardest for
the millennium wouldn't know what to
do with themselves il it really came.
When it's himself. man says he
has accepted a position; when it's
about another man, he says he's found
a job,
II takes less time TO amass q for
tune than to become heavenly minded.
It's the work Of long life TO become q
good man.
Inquisitive people are the tunnels
of conversation; they do not take any
thing for their own use, but merely
to pass il on to others.
After q woman has heard hard
stories about a man she always Won
ders how he can go around so without
look Of shame on his face.
To take for granted as truth all that
is alleged against the fame Of others
is a species Of credulity that men
would blush at on any other subject.

low Ostriches Run.

Considerable misconception prevails
as TO the manner in which the ostrich
runs. 1t seems to be still generally
held that when running it spreads its
wings, and aided by them skins
lightly over the ground. This is not
correct When a bird really settles
itself to run il holds its head lower
than usual and little forward with a
deep loopin the neck. The neck Vi
brates sinuously, but the head remains
steady, thus enabling the bird, even
at top speed, to look around with I'M
shaken glance in any direction, The
wings lie along the sides about on
level with or little higher than the
back, and are held loosely, just free Of
the plunging 'thigh." There is no
attempt to hold them extended, or TO
derive any assistance from them as Or
gans of fight.
When an ostrich, after hard run,
is very tired, its wings sometimes
droop; this is due to exhaustion.
They are never, by a running bird ex-
erting itself to the utmost, held ont
away from the sides to tighten its
weight or TO increase its pace. But
the wings appear to be Of great service
in turning, enabling the bird to double
abruptly, even when going at top
speed. The BIOLOGIST.

HEARTSEASE.

While DER my life still hung the morning
star,
Dreamy and soft in tcnder-lighted skies;
While care and sorrow held themselves
afar,
And no sad mist OF tears had dimmd my
eyes:
saw Loves roses blowing,
With scent and color glowing,
And so wished for them with longing
signs.
The brightest hung so high and held aloft
Their crimson faces, passionately bright;
The gay, rich, golden ones escaped me oft
And hedged with sharpest thorns the
lofty white;
From all my enger pleading ~
They turned away, unheeding:
Among Loves roses none were mino OF
right,
Yet, Of sweet things, those roses seemed
most sweet
And most desirable until voice,
Soft az sad music, said: "Lol at thy feet
little flower shall make thy heart re-
joico."
And so, tho voice obeying,
] saw In beauty straying
wealth of Heartsease, waiting for my
choice.
Great purple pansics, each with snowy
heart,
And golden ones with eyes OF deepest
blue;
Some "freaked with jet" some pure white
ones apart,
Bnt all so sweet and fresh with morning
dew
could not bear TO lose them,
could not help to choose them,
For sweet Content sat singing whore they
grew.
SO, now, Loves roses shake their scented
leaves.
But tempt me not to their enchanted
quest;
gather Heartseasc set In dcwy leaves
And am contention me Il Is the best.
Be glad II, sweet and glowing,
You find Loves roses blowing
sing through life with Hcartscasc mt my
breast.

gone straight TO bed. About midnight
he had been aroused by violent
knocking at the door, and on opening
it had been gruiIly told that he was
under arrest, and that lie was to dress

Hurried by the officers, he had
hastily dressed himself, protesting
uselessly that the clothes he was hus.

ried off to the station.

Rowley, had registered ut the same
hotel and had been assigned room on
the same narrow corridor BY some
chance, my friend, after supper, had
been given the key of Mr.. Wilcox's
room and had gone straight TO bed.
"Mr. Wilcox's keen mind, ever bent
on covering up his tracks, on finding
that he had been given the wrong key,
said nothing, examined my friends
valise, and then the idea evidently
came TO him that il would be good
thing il he could pass out of the hotel

"The probability was that he Row

Then he must have taken my friends

ll.45 p. IN. night express for Syracuse
and so vanished.
"His resemblance in Wilcox's attire
was 30 like the photos sent on TO the
people, and 40 unlike his-o own photos,
that, with the correspondence, papers,
cards and odds and ends which Wilcox
had, either in haste or Intentionally,
left in the coat and vest pocket, and
which the police at the station had
seized when they hal searched him,

al Calamity.

When in the heat of the cam
paign we predicted that the elect
ion of Mckinley would be ma
tional calamity, we buiIded better
than we knew. The tidal wave of
business failures now sweeping
over the country justifies all that
we said. We did know, however,
that this claim of ga return of con-
fidence" was a fraud
The failure of the silver cause
has destroyed the hope of prosper
ity which prevailed throughout the
west, and the crash of business
enterprises is the result. The East
is now on top. She has the mon
ey and the confidence, and the
West is in the throes of a struggle
with adverse fate. New York is
now the monarch which rules the
land; Wall street is king and its
rule is that of a despot which des-
troys all that oppose him. Wet
