WISE WORDS

A place for everything and every
thing in its place. Franklin.
The fruit derived from labor is the
sweetest Of all pleasures.-Yanven-
argues. ~
Neither a borrower nor lender be;
for loan oft loses both itself and friend.
Shakespeare.
We know accurately only when we
know little; with knowledge doubt in
ere ages.-Goethe. .-
A good face is a letter OF recon-
mendation, as a good heart is a letter
of credit.-Bulwer.
A kind heart is a fountain Of glad
ness, making everything in its yicin-
ity freshen into smiles Irving.
We must not Judge of man s merits
by his great qualities, but by the use
he makes Of them. -Bochefoucauld.
The opportunity to do mischief is
found a hundred times a day. and
that Of doing good once a year. Vol
taire
A brave man knows no malice; but
forgets in peace the injuries of war,
and gives his direst foe o friends en-
brace. -Cowper.
Whoever is mean in his youth runs
a great risk Of becoming a scoundrel
in ripper years; meanness leads to vii.
lainy with fatal attraction. Chez.
buliez.
This way upward from the lowest
stage through every other to the high
est; that is, the way of development,
so far from lowering us to the brute
level, is the only way for us to attain
the true highest-namely, the all-com-
plete. Henry Jones, NJ. A.
True poetry is truer than science,
because it is synthetic, and siezes at
once what the combination of all the
sciences IS able at most to attain as
final result. The soul of nature is de-
vined by the poet; the man of science
only serves to accumulate materials
for its demonstration. --Amiels Jour
nal.
Falsehood is so easy, truth so diff
cult. Examine your words well and
you will find that, even when you have
no motive to be false, it is very hard
to say the exact truth, even about
your own feelings-much harder than
to say something fine about them
which is not the exact truth. --George
Eliot.
If we live truly, we shall see truly.
It is as easy for the strong man to be
strong as it is for the weak to be weak.
When we have new perception, we
shall gladly disburden the memory Of
it's boarded treasures as old rubbish.
When a man lives with God, his voice
shall be as sweet as the murmur Of
the brook and the rustic OF the corn.
: Emerson.

A Queer New Product.

Notice appears in London Invention
of a peculiar product, under the name
of soap stock, prepared in Brindisi,
which is largely utilized on account of
it's special properties. 1t is prepared by
subjecting the residue of olive kernels
to chemical processes under the action
of sulphuric acid, after all means OF
extraction by pressure have been ex-
hausted. OF this substance, it is stated
that during the year 1894 the quantity
produced amounted to about |, 200 tons,
the medium market price for which
ranged at some $50 per ton. The arti-
Gle in question, which is of little value
as lubricator, has ready sale among
soap manufacturers, and in years when
the oil crop has been favorable, consid-
cradle quantities have been exported to
this country, Great Britain and North
ern Europe. This oil is locally known as
.olio sulfureo," or sulphur OIL from the
method of its extraction. The refuse re-
naming after the extraction is used
for fuel for steam boilers by millers as
a matter of economy.

Lot of Things In This Woman's Stomach

Lot OF nIn6S III iniS WOiiiah oAS'"oS''
In a German medical paper is an in
teresting paper by DR.. Fricker OF Odes-
sa describing an extraordinary case in
which several foreign bodies were re-
moved from the stomach of woman
aged so years who several times at
tempted suicide by swallowing petro-
lepm and carbolic acid, and then solid
substances such as needles, nails, and
small buttons. At first the patient
made no complaint after performing
these exploits, but subsequently eXpe-
riencea much pain. Various forms OF
treatment had been tried for the gen.
eral conditions, such as baths, electric
ity, etc, but without avail. A tender
swelling appeared in the left side of the
abdomen, and an operation was decid-
ed upon. An abscess was found in the
region of the swelling, and the stomach
had evidently been perforated, but the
site of the perforation could not be dis
covered. With all due precautions the
stomach was opened and the following
bodies removed; A key. a silver tea
spoon, metal teaspoon, a fork, two
wire tacks, two hairpins, two pieces OF
glass, one window hook, one steel pin
nine sewing needles, one piece of black
lead, one shoe button, one grape stone
two small Jumps of tin, and one GRO
Chef hook. The stomach was washed
out with steriized salt solution and the
wound closed. The patient made good
recovery.
