PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

| Only those can sing In the dark
Who have light in the heart.
The best way of avenging thyself
s not to become like the wrong-doer.
| We should treat our friends as we
10 ourselves; for friend is another
elf.
Love should give wings to the feet
If service, and strength to the arms
If labor.
| Simp lefty is one of the first laws
)f greatness, and another like unto it
humility.
He who always complains of the
clouds receives little of life's sun
shine and deserves less.
Defeat is Que OF the hardest things
10 bear, even in tribes; but we have
20 be defeated in order to succeed.
There are few things impossible in
themselves, and the application nee
essary to make them succeed is more
often wanting than the means.
Severity carried to the highest pitch,
breaks the mind, aud then, in the
place of disorderly young fellow,
you have low spirited, moped crea-
;ure.
An ounce Of essence is worth a gal
on of fluid. A wise saw may be
more valuable than whole book, and
| plain truth is better than an argu-
nent.
If we desire to reduce mental activ-
| ty, 1t stands to reason that we must
attend to nothing. We must let the
mind drift. We must not attempt to
| exercise any control whatever, but let
;he thoughts stray as they will and
follow any line of association that is
line of least resistance.
1t is very poor record when night
zones if we have been spending every
hour of the day with our thoughts
bent wholly upon our own pleasure or
profit. If this is a sad way to spend
one day. how much worse is 1t when
We spend week, month, year SOL
6shly bent upon our own affairs?
The vulgar do not often recognize
their own ear-marks. These are as
many as the manifestations of temper
ament; indications OF vulgarity are
not confined to speech and manners.
One may be vulgar in ones house and
furniture, ones dress, and in many
other matters that are apt to be over
looked when a self-scrutiny Is under
taken.

INDIAN KILLED BY A LOON.
Fierce Combat in. the Waters OF n North
ern Lake.

| Fierce Combat in. the Waters OF North
| ern Lake.
| The loon, or great northern diver, is
4 powerful bird. The following in
stance of one Of them conquering q
man happened few years ago.
| A young Micmac Indian, living at
Grand Lake, Nova Scotia, wanted to
get the skin of one OF these beautiful
birds to present to his sweetheart on
her birthday.
One day the youth, who was an
adept at initiating the peculiar sob
bling cry of the loon, succeeded in call
Ing bird within shooting distance.
| His shot. however, failed to kill out
right, and the bird, although so Sc
verely wounded that it could neither
twim nor dive, yet retained sufficient
life and strength to remain uprig hit in
the water.
The boy, thinking hat his game
did not need another shot, swan out
to retrieve it, but when he approached
near enough to seize the bird, it sud-
denly made dash at him, sending its
head and neck out with spring like
an arrow from DOW. IL was only
by quick duck of his head that the
Indian succeeded in evading the blow.
He swan about the loon several
times, attempting to dash in and seize
him by the neck, but the wary bird
succeeded in foiling each effort by
continually facing him, and lunging
out with his powerful neck.
The Indiln then swan up to within
| few feet of the bird, and diving un-
der him, with considerable skill
caught him by the legs. He carried
him under, and although the bird
struggled fercsly, managed to retain
his hold. But when they both rose
to the surface again battle royal be-
gan, the Indian seeking to carry his
prize ashore, and the bird attempting
to regain his freedom. The bird,
however, was too much for his foe,
and before the indian had covered a
yard on his sho eb jund course, dis
ablel him with vicious blow from
h neck full on the naked chest.
The effect OF the blow was almost
instantaneously fatal, for the beak
penetrated close to the youths heart.

A well-known surgeon of Chicago,
while paying visit to Germany, de-
termined to give himself the pleasure
of calling upon an old friend and in
structor, Prof Won Esmarch, now sur
geon- general in the &c man army.
This man, one of Germany's most
popular servants, is married TO Prin-
cess Henrietta Of Schleswig, a sister
Of Prince Christian and an aunt of the
German empress.
Having found Prof. Won Esmarch' s
house, the surgeon from Chica 20 used
the heavy knocker ct the entrance, but
the door did not open. The Chicago
surgeon, who is not patient man,
knocked more vigerously-something
after the manner of Macduff at Mac
beth's castle. At last the door was
opened by figure evidently fresh
from laundry work, and duly dressed
for its demands. 1t was Princess
Henrietta, Frau Won Esmarch, herself.
The royal lady aFologized for the de-
lay in opening tho door by saying that
she and her maid were SO engaged in
the laundry that it was impossible for
either of them to leave at once. She
then gave her caller char, summoned
her husband and retired to her inter
rupted duties. 1t did not seem to oc-
cur to her that there was anything
unusual in princess appearing at her
front door in limp gown, or in her
hurrying down the back stairs to tubs,
indigo and starch.

LONOFELLOW'S WAYsIDE INN

UAed as uostolry.
Rich in the historical and literary
associations accumulated during two
centuries of existence" says the Ladies
Home Journal for September, 1.-The
Wayside Inn, built by David Howe,
still stands remote among the wooded
hills In South Sudbury, Massachusetts.
The Landlord of Longfellow's famous
tales was the dignifled Squire Lyman
Howe, justice of the peace and school
committeeman, who lived a bachelor,
and died at the inn in 18GO-the last OF
his line to keep the famous hosiery.
Beside Squire Howe, the only other
real characters in the Tales who were
ever actually at the inn were Thomas
w. Parsons, the poet; Luigi Monti,
the Sicilian, and Professor Daniel
Treadwell, of Harvard, the theologian,
all three of whom were In the habit Of
spending the summer months there.
Of the other characters, the Musician
was Ole Bull, the Student was Henry
Ware Wales, and the Spanish Jew was
Israel Edrehi. Near the room in which
Longfellow stayed Is the ballroom,
with the dais at one end for the i'd
dlers. But the polished floor no longer
feels the pressure Of dainty feet in
high-heeled slippers gliding over 1t to
the strains OF contra-dance. cotillon or
minuet, although the merry voices of
summer visitors and the jingling bells
Of winter sleighing parties at times
still break the quiet of the ancient inn"

New York Tribuns Anatomists say
that a perfect foot Is a. long As the
bone In the forearm which extends
from the wrist to the elbow. This is
the measurement accepted by artists.
Arms are sometimes out OF proper
ton. 1t is true, but rarely. and the
disproportion is usually In the direc-
ton OF deficient. rather than OF excss-
sive length. In such cases 1t will be
found generally that the foot. also, is
too short for the stature OF the person.
