In 1880 the manufacture of electrical

The fact is that While it is not at all
difficult to point out individual hard
ships to the few, at the time of change
and innovation, the benefits following
are so vast, so countless, SO benefcent,
that the eyes irresistibly lift them
selves to the wider horizon; that which
compasses generations of men, not the
present hour merely. MIR. Wadlin, on
one branch of his subject, proves him
self a philosopher as we'll as statisti-
clan when he says:
The deepest truth respecting produc-
ton by machinery is not that the eff
feet of the machine is to expand rather
thaiv contract the avenues Of employ
ment This. as we have seen, it gen

this, less clearly seen, and of much
greater import to the masses of the
people, is the fact that production by
machinery, or. to speak more exactly,
production under the factory system.

nently remunerative unless acoompan-

Good Temper and Health.

One of the signs of mental health
is equanimity of temper, and the
ability to bear with Indifference or
even pleasure the little trials of life,
and especially those which come
from scolding, petulant, cross, irrita-
BILE persons. To this end the art of
not hearing too much should be
learned. There are so many things
which it is SO painful to hear, very
many of which, if heard, will dis
turb the temper, corrupt simplicity
and modesty and detract from
health and happiness If a person
falls into violent passion and calls
one all manner of names, and we
can shut our ears and not hear it,
or if we can laugh at the words in
stead of becoming excited, it is a
sign of healthy nervous SYSTEM

Granulated Cork.

1t is only few years since the
manufacturers of cork shoppers and
life preservers threw away their
chips. Now every particle of the
refuse is carefully saved and util-
lied, first having been pulverized by
special machinery. In fact, owing
to the constantly increasing number
of uses to which this stuff can be
put, the price of what was once a
waste product is steadily rising.
One Of the ingredients of linoleum
is cork. The latter is also employed
extensively in filling the hollow
walls of refrigerators. The manu-
facture of light, porous bicycle
handle opens still another field of
usefulness, and it is now proposed
to mix pulverized cork with plaster
of paris in holdings, in order to
render the latter cheaper and light
Ell. The article is placed on the mar
ket in about half dozen different
degrees of fneness, ranging from

from 3 to s cents pound and de-

Dogs Of Egypt.

Commenting on the statement of
a naturalist that the dogs of Egypt
never barked, Ed Little said: 81
cannot say from my own knowledge
that the dogs Of Egypt do bark. l
do not remember that I ever heard
one of them give tongue. In fact,
the only Egyptian dog of which l
have any recollection was a very
scrubby cur that took up his unin-
vited residence at the consulates.
One morning on reaching the Office
l found this dog contentedly resting
near my desk. I called the servants
and had them put him out. On the
next morning and the next found
that dog in the same place. Every
time he was put out he went with a
cheerful wag of his tail, as much as
to say, You will like me better
when you know me more, and by
and by l became interested in his
persistency. AT last l told the serv-
ants to allow him to remain, and as
long as l staid in Cairo that cur
was part of the American consul
late. No, l don't think he ever saw

Showing How Use Doth Breed Habit In

Mannerisms, personal peculiarities
and facial tricks in those with whom
we are thrown into close relations
affect our nerves after time. sThey
are like Earring notes which destroy
a melody and wear on the listener
until he can think of nothing else.
There is my friend Annabel, for
instance Annabel is one of the
wittiest, the most generous women
know. But when Annabel is angry
or hurt and does not want to say so,
but does want to say something dis
agreeable about somebody, she has
trick of running her tongue with
the rapidity of lightning back and
forth across her lips after every
statement which she is not sure of
your accepting. l can hardly stay in
the room with her after few mo-
ments, and were l to see her do this
thing without being near enough to

good things to say, but we shut our

And that which Adolphus does is
to begin by making an explanatory
remark, like Art is longl" perhaps.
Then he pauses, scrapes his throat
and standing for at least SO seconds
with indrawn lips he rolls his eyes
about over his audience to see how
his statement has been accepted.

Habits are the result of mental
conditions, and our responsibility
for our children is very great along
these lines. Lack of training always

Sea Anemones That Seem to b. Tame.

Sea Anemones That Seem to Be Tame.
Sea anemones, when touched, are
very likely to draw in their ten
tacles and close up. They are very
sensitive, but they appear also to
become moro or less tame, if tame
ness can be ascribed to this form of
animal life. There are sea anemones
at the aquarium that do not appear
to shrink from the contact of food
that is dropped down upon them or
placed actually within their reach,
and there is occasionally one that
throws tentacles forward to enfold
the food thus fed to it in manner
that at least suggests something
more than merely mechanical ac-
tion.--New York Ledger

BOOTH FINDS A GENIUS.

Audience Convulsed Over q Reply Inter-
polated In Richard III"
AS delineator of the traditional
Yankee character Matthias Currier
klmball, more widely known as
Yankee Glunn, long stood without a
rival. Kimball has now practically
retired from the stage, and at ripe
age has settled down to a prosaic
life i'll the little village Of Kingman,
Me.
Away back in the early forties,
when he was mere lad, little in
cldent with Junius Brutus Booth,
the elder started him in his career.
Kimball was only II years old at
the time and was at work as an ush-
er In the Lowell museum. Booth
who was then in the zenith of his
power and fame, was billed there for
three nights. The play was ''Rich-
ard III. !" Kimball had thoroughly
studied the play and was considered
young man of promising dramatic
ability. On the opening night the
actor who took the part of Lord MOI
folk failed to show up. Booth was
in despair. At last some one sug-
gested that young Kimball knew
the lines of that part, and he was
cast for it by Booth.
Of the event the old Snowman
says: when I went on the stage,
was badly ratified. Booth was i'm
perious and stern, which only COM
plicated matters. However, got
along all right until we came to the
battle of Bosworth Field. In my
hurry I had taken the wrong place
on the stage, when Booth Kissed out
in whisper, Get into your place;
then wheeling around he pro-
nounced these lines in thrilling
tones, What thinkest thou now, no.
BILE Norfolk2' That we shall con-
quer, my lord was my reply, sbut
on my tent this morning early was

ing out the plan of battle on the
sand. When I had finished the lines,
he drew his sword and with terrific
force struck the paper from my
hands, saying, A weak invention of
the enemy
II was thoroughly frightened at
his fearful expression and lodged
back, nearly falling to the floor.
Booth then repeated the lines:
"What thinkest thou, Norfolk,
if the pardon was offered9'
"By this time I was completely
ratified and forgot my lines. Booth
stood glaring at me like tiger. The
audience were holding their breath
for the next turn of affairs. Sudden
ly realized that something must be
done. My nerve returned, and ]
think it must have been the devil
that prompted me to balance myself
on one foot and drawl out with Yam
kee twang:
wen, don know, Mr.. Booth.
It may work!'
Instantly the whole house was in
an uproar. AS shout after shout OF
laughter went up the black cloud on
Booths brow relaxed and wheeling
on his heel he left the stage, shak-
ing his sides with merriment. After
the play was over he came to me,
and placing his hand on my shout

man, you never played tragedy be.

reply he continued: Take my adj
