PEARLS or THOUGHT.

A haggling woman is nearly as odi-
Gus as mean man.
1t is better to be called proud than
to be named a sycophant.
a woman may overcome a mans
dislike, but his contempt never.
The best friend a young girl can
have is level headed, loving father.
Health is a touchy possession; dis
OBEY one of its commands and off it
goes.
Nothing makes a vain old man so
wroth as to pay him the respect due
his age.
Keeping ones grievances to ones
self is an excellent proof of mental
equipoise.
Adversely is a less severe test than
perversity, where domestic happiness
is concerned.
Until you are sure a stranger will
not bore you brace you or babble, tell
her no secrets.
1t is not what we see, but what we
remember perfectly that helps to wild
en- our mental vistas.
There is ever a battle waging be-
tween an idler and time, the object
being to kill each other.
1t is wiser to speak ones own Ian
guage correctly than several others
badly, as so many smart persons do.
Doing all we can to promote our
friends happiness is bstter than to
continually drink to his prosperity.
They build better than they know
who marry upon the basis of genuine
respect and cameraderie. Love burns
out, friendship increases.-Philadel

The report which Senator Mitchell
makes of his observations of public
feeling in Europe during a two years
residence there, from which he has
just returned, is not pleasant. In sub
stance it is that while the English re-
spect Americans and are much more
friendly toward them than they used
to be, the Continental peoples, and es-
pecially the Germans and the French,
manifest a positive and rather bitter
dislike toward US. The Senator is IA
milar with the languages of these ma
tions, and he says abroad did he see in
period of his stay abroad did he see in
the press of either kindly allusion to
his own. The feeling approaching ami
mostly he attributes mostly to COM
mercial rivalry and a sense that the
Americans are gradually engrossing
the trade that formerly belonged to the
Continent, and are bound to do SO
more and more, and to encroach on the
Continental markets.

Clocks With "XYheels.n

"Clocks are certainly queer things"
said the man who was tinkering at
the hall clock in a suburban house the
other day. "They get cranky spells,
just like people. Sometimes they really
act as though they were bewitched.
a friend of mine had little clock that
had behaved itself and kept good time
Sor years. One day it took a notion to
lay off for while, and they couldn't
get it started again. My friends wife
was cleaning the room several days
afterward, and she took the clock and
laid it down fiat on its back on a
chair. 1t started to go at once, and
licked away at a great rate, but as
soon as she placed it on end it stopped
again. Well, they set it, and for q
time it acted all right as long as
1t remained on its back. But it soon
got cranky again and refused to 60.
The other day, just for fun, they
turned it upside down, and would
you believe it, that crazy clock started
off again. Now it only runs when 1t l.,
standing on its head, and they are
wondering what new foolishness it
will develop next"-Boston Record.

NO MORE BIC CITIES.


improved Rapid Transit Will Be the
Municipal Solvent.
In an effort to picture the future of
great cities as afflicted by the devel-
opment of rapid transit, Mr.. H. G.
Wells contributes to the London Fort.
nightly Review a fascinating article
on the England of 200 A. D. 1t is the
second of a series of serious scientific
anticipations, the first of which placed
the speed of railway journeys for
the near future at 100 mile or more
an hour, and of omnibuses, cabs, ETC.,
at 80 miles or more.
Mr.. Wells believes that the influ-
ence of this rapid transit will be not
to condense population, but to spread
1t out all over the land. Huge towns
and cities will all but disappear, and
the inhabitants will Detake themselves
to the country again. Hitherto the
great cities have been confined, he
points out, within a radius of about
eight miles from the centre; horse
traction and bad train services have
compelled it. Soon the radius will be
80 miles.
And is it too much" asks Mr..
Wells, mot expect that the available
area for even the common daily toilers
of the great city of the year 1000 will
have radius very much larger than
that? Now, circle with a radius of
80 miles gives an area of over 2SO0
square miles, which is almost a quarter
that of Belgium"
The social equivalent of the season
ticket holder, will, he suggests, have
an available AREA with radius of over
100 miles, or almost the size of Ire
land. Indeed, it is not too much to
say that the London citizen of the
year 1000 A. d. may have a choice of
nearly all England and Wales south
of Nottingham and east of Exeter as
his suburb, and that thls vast stretch
of country from Washington to AL
bany will be all available to the active
citizen of New York and Philadelphia
before that date"
Mr.. Wells picture is indeed delight
full He gives Englishmen a London
city of sort, a Lancashire Yorkshire
city, and Scotch city, consisting
chiefly of business premises, while the
whole of Great Britain will be dotted
over with houses very different from
the modern villa" each in its spa
cious garden. 1t will be much less
monotonous, Mr.. Wells says. There
will be more life and more character,
and each district will grow in its own
particular way. The postoffice will de-
liver nearly everything that every
household wants.

1t is popular error to suppose that
the dwelling rooms at Windsor are
very sumptuous. The private apart
ments are scarcely worthy of an Or
dinary country gentleman's seat.
Queen Elizabeth is responsible for
great number of them, and they were
built rather hurriedly by her orders.
She had taken refuge at Windsor from
the plague which was raging in Lon
don, and her maids of honor and at
tendants revolted at the uncomfort-
able condition of their rooms, which
were low. dark and cold The Queen
herself was furious because her dinner
was invariably served up stone cold,
but being of an inquiring mind she
discovered that the kitchen was nearly
half mile from the dining room, and
straightway built the present kitchen,
which is very large and commodious.
Elizabeth built the Octagon library,
which she is still said to haunt, and
where she was frequently seen, it is
said, last year.-London Chronicle.

LETTER COLLECTING MOTOR CARS.
A Dream Into the Future Which May Be
Realized.

Realized.
I'm the postal service the govern
ment annually appropriates $4,000
for horse hire, and by horse hire is it
meant that the department allows car
riers $500 a year each for what is
called mounted carrier service" said
postal official TO a Star reporter this
morning.
There are 20 mounted carriers in
Washington and they may be observed
riding around the streets in their lit
tie wagons collecting mail Whether
this is satisfactory way of solving
this problem is matter of opinion,
but it has evidently baen found to be
as economical a system as could be
devised for the money, and on the
score of economy it may be indorsed.
For other reasons, however, it cannot
be commended, and it is Anticipated
and scarcely befitting the great sys-
tenn it represents.
1T would probably cost twice the
amount to maintain uniform system
as to carriage and horse service in
the cities where mounted carriers are
utilized; but If it cost $2,000,000 the
present high standard of the admins
tration of postal affairs would be ma
terially increased as to appearance and
undoubtedly as to service performed
by these carriers. The little wagons
are of better appearance than those in
use some years ago, but out of a sum
of only 5000 year a carrier cannot
be expected to supply much of a rig
as to vehicle and horse.
"The idea of collecting mail on foot
belongs to past generation. 1t must
be collected now by men in vehicles
to meet the demands of the times. A
decade hence it will be collected, in all
probability, by msn in automobiles.
The system is so extensive, and the
specters of a deficit so ever present in
the minds of the officials in all
branches of the service, that reforms
and measures affecting thousands Of
men and involving the expenditure Of
millions of dollars are necessarily
considered and experimental with be-
fore adoption.
Nevertheless, deficit and economy
to the contrary Notwithstanding, the
day is rapidly approaching when
Washington will see the last of the
little jaunting cars with their little
horses driven by the men in gray,
going from hotel to hotel, postbox to
postbox in the street and hasten the
day. In their stead will be automo-
biles, or some form of artificially pro-
PEELED carriage, which will skim over
orr smooth streets, especially adapted
for that kind of vehicle, and the mail
will be collected and deposited in the
ostof1ice in half the time at present
consumed. The change will be decid-
IDLY radical and decidedly welcome,
hut it will probably not be realized in
the very near future unless the price
of these vehicles is materially low

DEFICIENT EDUCATION.

I'm really sorry for the man
Who's bred to idleness.
He passes through life's little span
A picture of distress.
Alas, he may not even know
What joy it is to shirk,
He is indeed man of woe
Who hasn't learned to work.
But sadder is the busy one
Who hurries through this life
And never stops to think of fun
Amid the bustling strife.
He is the mournfullest of men
You see him every day
Who feels like loafing now and then,
But doesn't know the way.
