Some Little Sermons.


Pulling long face over what can't
be helped does no good-you cannot
sweeten bad egg By smelling it.
Some men may need driving, butas
rule, the horse that follows a carrot
viii balk at broomstick.
Long words are generally large pods
for little peas.
Perseverance is indispensable to
success-lt's pounding the nail that
drives it home.
If you have lost what was thought
to be a great opportunity, look out
for the neXt-there is no sense in
running after a dead rabbit.
The man who makes a stage act of
what he is doing is on par with the
hen who having but one chicken does
enough scratching for twenty.
AS between theories and facts the
sidewalk generally wears out the
shoes.
Attempting too much may look
like grand grab-but the end is an
empty hand.
You can keep your eye on thief
but a liar-who can tell whereabouts
in a blanket you can find the flea.
You cannot always size up fire by
the smoke it makes.
Shifting blame to save your own
skin may be diplomacy, but woolly
wolf is not thereby made mutton.
It's no use to whistle for lost dollars
go to work and earn more.
Judging by appearances is some
times deceptive-a deaf man may have
loud ears.
Ambition is a man fooler when it
makes him believe that an empty nest
at the top of tree is worth more than
an egg at the bottom.
The tale-bearer who makes you be-
lieve that be is a warm friend of the
man he scandalizes is a cold liar. and
he can't be thawed out this side Of
Tophet.
Close your ears to tittle-tattle-a
wasp is better without than within.
To be imposed upon is not pleasant,
but there may be comfort in the
thought that it was smart cat that
caught the mouse.
The man who wants to do too much
is generally climbing the fence for q
larger watermelon.
The friends who stick to man when
fortune fails him can generally be
counted on your fingers.

Marvellous chicken Legs.

The mechanism of the leg and foot Of
a chicken or other bird that roosts on a
limb is a marvel Of design. 1t often
seems strange that a bird viii sit on
roost and sleep ell night without fall
ing off. but the explanation is perfectly
simple. The tendon of the leg Of bird
that roOsts is so arranged that when
the leg IS bent at the knee the claws
are bound TO contract and thus hold
with a sort Of death grip the limb
around which they are placed. Put a
chickens feet on your wrist and then
make the bird sit down. and sou viii
have a practical illustration Oh your
skin that you viii remember for some
time. BY this singular arrangement
seen only IN such birds as roost they
win rest comfortably and never think
Of holding on. for it is impossible for
them to let 90 till they stand up-Pres-
byterian.

BACK FROM BUFFALO.
w. G. Brewer Tells of His Trip and
the Pan-American Exposition.

the Pan-American Exposition.
Mr.. w. G. Brewer returned yesterday
from the Pan-American Exposition, Buff
falo where he had been as the guest of
the Lehigh Valley Road. Mr.. Brewer was
one of a party of 116 railroad men from
the Southeast. This party on a special
train of Pullman cars and in charge of
the officers of the Lehigh Road left Phil
adelpha Friday and went direct to Buff
falo where they were Joined by a party OF
New York and New England railroad
men, 1OS strong, that had arrived from
New York city and who were also the
guests of the Lehigh Valley Road.
Not only was a thorough examination
made of the grounds of the exposition,
but the visitors also acquainted them
selves with such conditions in the city
itself as might be of interest to those
that expect to visit the eXposition-such
things as hotel and boarding house accom-
moda atoms, transportation, etc. Mr.. Brew
er says that everything is most satisfac-
tory in every way and that the general
opinion is that the exposition will be a
huge success;'o of how great success some
idea may be gathered when it is known
that 10000 persons visited the grounds
Sunday, paying an admission fee TO do so,
though the buildings are not yet com
pleted. and probably will not be before
May 20, when the official opening of the
exposition will be made.
Mr.. Brewer thinks that the exposition
will compare favorably with that of Chi
cago, and that in some points the build
ings of this exposition will surpass those
of the Chicago affair. He was particu-
larry impressed with the arrangement of
the grounds, which include numbers OF
artificial lakes, not only beautiful in
themselves, but very useful, as on them,
by means of naptha launches, the greater
part of the passenger traffic about the
grounds will be conducted
Mr.. Brewer says that though the expo
sition will be informally opened to-day,
the only state exhibit that is complete Is
that of California. The Midway, he
saws. will be unusually attractive; among
the attractions already there are two
tribes of Indians, and a Hawaiian village,
besides other shows of various sorts all
attractive but too numerous to mention.
The scenery on the Lehigh Road
Mr.. Brewer says, is the
most magnificent that he has
seen. On the return trip the guests OF
the Lehigh road presented Mr.. G. s. Lee
the general passenger agent with a hshu-
some loving cup, Mr.. Brewer went on
the trip representing the Ocean Steamship
Company, by which, via New YORK, ne
expects to do a large business with those
who visit the exposition, as well as the
Central road, by which also he expects
large travel via Cincinnati.
