Present-Day Proverbs.
From wan. street Tonlcs


If point-givers entice thee, consent thou
not.
A false balance is an abomination to the
cashier.
He that giveth to the rich shall surely
come to want, as usual.
Good understanding giveth favor, but
the way of outsiders is hard
The way of the lambs is as darkness:
they know not at what they stumble.
A hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth
his neighbor by letting him mat the top
A wicked messenger boy falleth into mis-
chief, but a faithful one getteth a tin.
Motto for iscretionary order concerns:
Whose is simple. bet him turn in hither.
The manner of the blind pool: Cast in
they lot among us; let us all have one
purse.
The borrower is servant TO the lender
when he is called upon for additional col
lateral.
He becometh poor that dealeth with a
slack hand; but the hand of the diligent
maketh rich.
AS vinegar TO he teetli and as smoke
to the eyes. so is the sluggard broker to
them that send him.
AS a jewel of gold in a swines snout. so
is information impaired to trader VINO
waits for reaction.
Say not unto thy broker in quest OF mar
gin: Go, and come again. and tomorrow

From the Fan Man Gnzett.

NtOtu the rail- MAIL Gazette
1t has often been remarked that civilized
people tend to BECOME short sighted. This
Is because in towns and cities their vision
is mostly confined to short distances Saw
age races, on the other hand are general
ly gifted with remarkably keen sight. and
few tribes are more noteworthy in tbis
respect than the African bushmen whose
eyes are veritable' telescopes. This power
Is, no doubt, a wise provision of nature.
for Bushmen are a small race, and if they
were not able to see danger long way off
they would be exterminated by their va
rious enemies, whether savages of other
tribes or Wild beasts.
A traveller in South Africa relates that
while walking one day in company with
friendly Bushman the savage suddenly
stopped, and, gazing across the plain. cried
out there was a lion ahead The traveller
gazed long and earnestly in the direction
indicated by the Bushman but could see
nothing. Nonsense" he said. There's
nothing there" And he went forward
again, with the Bushman following at his
heels, trembling and unwilling and stin
asserting that he could see a lion.
Presently the native came to a dead stop
and refused to bulge another inch for
this time, he declared, he could see a lion
ess with a number of cubs, a fact which
made the animal more dangerous than
ever. But the European, who could see
no lioness, much less its cubs, pushed
ahead. After walking a quarter Of a mile,
however, he could dimly make out an OBJ
ject moving across the horizon. Still
doubling that 1t could be the object which
the Bushman said he had seen, he con-
tinued TO advance, and at last he was able
to distinguish a loness, with her cubs
around her, walking lelsurely toward the
