WORDS OF WISDOM.

No thoroughly occupied man was
ever yet very miscrable.-Landon.
Happiness is like tho statue Isis,
whose veil no mortal ever raised
Landon.
The man who lives in vain, lives
worse than in vain. He who lives to
no purpose, lives to bad purpose.
Defect in manners is usually the
defect of fine perceptions. Elegance
comes Of no breeding but Of BIRTH
Emerson.
Modern education too often covers
the fingers with rings, and at the same
time cuts the sinews at the wrists.
Sterling.
Sense shines with double luster
when it il set in humility. An able
yet humble man Is q jewel worth o
kingdoms--Penn.
The reason why SO few marriages
are happy is because young Indies
spend their time in making nets, not
in making cages. Swift.
BY struggling with misfortune we
are sure TO receive some wounds in
the conflict; but sure method to
come off victorious is by running away.
Goldsmith.
The roses of pleasure seldom last
long enough TO adorn the brow of him
who pluck them, and they are the only
roses which do not retain their sweet.
ness after they have lost their beauty.
Blair.
Home can never be transferred
never repeated IN the experience OF m
individual. The place consecrated by
paternal love; by tho innocence Of
sports of childhood; and by the first ac-
quaintance Of tho heart with nature,
is the only true home. Wolfe.

A "Torn Thumb" Train.

An interesting exhibit at tho Trans
mississippi Exposition, at Omaha, is
TO be the "Tom Thumb" train, so
called because IL is said to be the
smallest in the world. II is the work
Of young man without technical train
ing. The engine weighs four hundred
and fifty pounds, and its length, with
the tender, is six feet n inches. The
cylinder is II by2i inches. and the
driving wheels are eight inches in
diameter. The engine, however, hauls
six observation cars, in each Of which
two children may be comfortably
seated. The entire length Of the train
is twenty-nine feet. Six gallons OF
water in the tender tank and five in
tho boiler will furnish sufficient steam
to propel IL for two hours.

THE FIRST UMBRELLA.
Just lar Years Ago Jonas uanwsy Car.
ried One In London Streets.

ried One IN LONDON stfeets.
The umbrella is comparatively
modern feature OF European civiliza-
ton.
In 1850 Jonas Hanway, u Quaker,
first went through the streets Of Lon
don carrying an umbrella. Three
years from now, III 1900, it will he
meet to celebrate the scsquicentcn-
NAL OF this most useful implement,
Az this il an ago Of celebration it is
not likely that so good an opportunity
will be missed. Already in London
they are discussing the proper manner
of doing homage to the umbrella.
Mr.. Hanway was man of strong
character, but it required oil his cour-
age 10 brave the London crowd with
his strange rain shield. The inhabi-
tants of that great metropolis received
him with jcers and even more sub
stantial marks of disapproval. But
no was imperturbable, and in conse-
quonce of his example the umbrella
came very rapidly into general use.
Hanway had travelled much in the
East, and there he had noted the
great benefits derived 10y the natives
from the umbrella, both as protec-
ton against tho sun and rain The
East, with its infinitely older civiliza-
ton. had been familiar with this a.
with 80 many other useful articles ut
time when Europe was in the widest
savagery.
Umbrellas were known to the Egyp-
tons, and were certainly used oy the
ancient Hindoos. The umbrella IL
mentioned in n poem of Sakuntala.
written in the sixth century, and il
figures in various bas.reliefs among
tho Ninevnh sculptures discovered by
Sir Henry Layard. The Chinese
Book OF the Rites Of Tcheon," print
ed about the year 900, containing n
description of a vertable CAMP. And
IL il on record that when the son OF
the then Emperor Of China was cap
tured in the second Tartar invasion,
hc was made TO carry the umbrella OF
the Tartar chief when he went out
hunting.
The parasol was invariably carried
by the high-bred danes in ancient
Greece, and white parapluic was
borne by the priestesses of the god
dess Athene in the annual Scirophoria.
The fashion migrated also to Rome,
whore the un,braculum carried by the
women. and even by some Of the men,
was made of leather, and could he
opened aud shut. This fact is men
toned by Martial, Juvonal and Ovid;
while the latter also speaks OF "a
golden umbrella which warded off the
keen sun"
In Siam the umbrella has always
been regarded as q mark OF distinction,
and NJ. de Loubere, in his work on
that country, tells us how the use OF
tho umbrella was only granted to GER
tain OF tho Kings subjects. The
King was invariably protsotsd in his.
progresses by an umbrella, appearing
as il three separate projections had
been mounted on ono stick, one over
tho other. Tavernier speaks, in his
"Voyage TO the East" Of the throne
OF the Great Mogul being supported
on either side by m umbrella. The
princes Of the Mahratta provinces in
India bore tho title OF Chatrapati
Uord of tho Umbrela): while in Ava,
TO this present day, the title OF tho
ruler is "King OF the White Elephant
