WORDS or WISDOM.

Seek happiness for yourself, and you
will lose it; seek it for others, and you
will find it.
Books without the knowledge Of life
are useless; for what should books
teach but the art of living?
1t is by presence of mind in untried
emergencies, said Lowell, that the na-
tive metal of man is tested.
Good counsels observed are chains
to grace. which, neglected, prove halt
ers to strange undutiful children.
Imprudence, silly talk, foolish van
ity and vain curiosity are closely al
lied; they are children Of one family.
If one always takes a short cut
through life they sometimes regret
they did not 90 the round about way.
Life is to be fortified by many
friendships; to love and to be loved
make up the greatest happiness Of ex-
iStence.
There are two things in which we
should thoroughly train ourselves-to
be slow in taking offence and to be
slower in giving it.
Habits, soft and plant at first, are
like some coral stones, which are
easily cut when first quarried, but
soon become hard as adamant.
No man can tell whether he is rich
or poor by turning to his ledger. It's
the heart that makes a man rich. He
is rich or poor according to what he
is. not according to what he has.

How Women Met an Emergency.

A curious outcome of technical edu'
cation for women was shown during
the past year in the case of a man
who by failure in business was re-
duced to poverty. He had a capable
family, and his daughters at once
sought for situations as dressmakers
and milliners. In the latter trade
there was no prospect of immediate
remuneration, as it is customary Tor
the beginners to give three months OF
service, both spring and fall, without
receiving wages. The second daugh-
ter got place to sew in 4 dressmak-
ing establishment at smaH wages, and
the fathers efforts to make a living
were hampered by his advanced years.
Then the mother took 4 hand. She
had been raised on farm and sought
ard found employment tying up vege-
tables for market. In this industry
the chief requisites are careful count
ing and honesty, early rising and In
dustry. She actually made enough
money to keep the family for three
months, but then she did not have to
spend money to dress up to the sltua-
tlon, and was paid for her work at the
end of each day.-Philadelphia Record.

TRAFFIC IN WASHED CLOTHES.
Men Who Buy UncaIIed.for Parcels at
Chinese laundrles,

Speaking of laundries and China
men," remarked one OF the hearers Of
the story of the laundry marks, do
you know that number OF men here
in New Orleans make good living by
buying up the unclaimed packages Of
laundries? In New Orleans there are
2o5 Chinese laundrics, and in each Of
them many packages of laundry are
never called for. The Chinese pro-
prietor keeps these packages thirty day6
and if the owners do not claim them
in that time they arc sold for the laun-
dry charges to anyone who cares to pur-
chase. Look into Chinese laundry
and you will sec several upper shelves
crowded with dusty-lookirg packages.
These are .uncallcd-for packages, and
the Chinaman is keeping them should
the owners call for their linen, bu:
the chances are that when the parcels
are put upon these upper shelves they
will not be called for. The men who
have their laundry done by Chinese
waskermen arc not intrequently birds
OF passage. who. from one cause or an
other, lose their laundry. The cause
may be carelcssness. forgetiulness, leav-
ing town or going broke.
"You will be surprised at the amount
of clothing lost in this way by owners
and accumulated in the laundries.
When a week goes by and the owner
does not call with his wash ticket the
laundry keeper no longer expects him.,
for the Chinese laundry patron is gen.
orally a prompt customer with a small
wardrobe. Then. after week. the bun
die goes up on the shelf, and it remains
there until the purchaser comes along.
He is sometimes a man in reduced cir
cumstances and needy, who wants to
outfit himself with another mans clothes
at a trif1ing cost, but generally he is a
speculator. The Chinainan is glad to
let the clothes 60 for the amount Of
the wash dues against them, and the
Speculation strikes any number of bar
gains, for generally linen worth China
mans work is worth a few cents asked
for the charges against it. These spccu-
lators 60 around from laundry to laun-
dry, and wagonloads of goods are
bought up by him for almost nothing.
1t is pretty much of lottery, for the
willy Chinaman will rot permit the spec
ulator to examine the contents of the
bundles before buying. He is like a
man buying pig in poke, and the
only guide he has is what the Chinaman
tells him is in the bundle. Mems gar
ments bought by spectators are sold
to secondhand stores, sailors and
negroes. Women's clothes are not often
left uncalled-for, and very seldom are
any OF them left on the upper shelves
of laundrics. A bundle of laundry on
which the dealer in them pays fifty cents
for the washing will net him generally
three times his outlay when he has ped
died the contents of the package. AT
least dozen men in New Orleans arc
getting rich buying up unclaimed laun-
dry bundles.-Neav Orleans Times

ETHICS OF ADVERTISING.
Righteousness Of the Code Which Gov
erns Doctors and Lawyers.

A writer In Publicity, presumably
lawyer, writes entertainingly on the
ethics of his profession in so far as it
relates to advertising, and taboos the
professional man, be he lawyer, doc
tor or Clergyman, who advertises.
1t would appear that he argues
from a premise contradictory in its
statement, only to reach. as he neces-
sarily must, an illogical conclusion,
not warranted by the intermediate
syllogisms. 1t is false logic, and needs
must fall.
The fact that he admits advertising
has practically become science and
that the advertiser-the one who has,
perhaps, made a life study of the ben
efits Of his own system or those of
other equally broad-minded men-is
justified in assuming that every man
has his own interests at heart, and
that with every business man of am
bition the advancement of his own
business occupies the same position.
If, then, the advertiser believes adj
vertising to be one of the most i'm
portant stages on the high road to
business success, why is he not JUS
titled in his endeavor to persuade th~
physician or the purist that unless he
advertises he pursues phantom in
the form of legitimate personal and
professional fame and marked finan-
cial beneft?"
OF course he is justified. and it is
only the hide-bound rule of the years
when newspapers and other vehicles
Of advertising were non-eXiStent that
trammels him to-day to enter into
competition with his mercantile
brother.
The writer assumes that there are
many members of the legal profession
who would advertise, to the detriment
of their more conservative brethren.
Possibly that is true. This is not the
age of the tallow dip OF stage coach,
and be who falls in the race need not
start on crutcheS.
The etiquette and morals Of the bar
are high-sounding and sonorous
phrases. but the average newspaper
reporter with any court experience at
all knows what a sham the ethics Of
that profession are, and that free ad-
vertising is eagerly sought for by the
highest counselor or by the police
court solicitor.
The suggestion has been made, and
an admirable one, too, that the papers
refuse to print the names of lawyers
or physicians in prominent cases un-
less they advertised.
Lawyers furnish their briefs to
newspapers; often prepare interviews;
physicians write their own account of
difficult operations, and clergymen
synopsis of their sermons, and the
newspaper publishes it in choice posi-
ton without reaping penny of profit.
The enterprising lawyer or physi-
clan who casts aside the so-called
ethics Of the profession and advertises
may incur the ill-will of his laggard
competitor, but he will have demon
strated that this is the twentieth cen
tury, not the sixteenth.-Fourth Es-
tate.

Heard in an Omen Car.

People talk in open cars with won
derful appearance Of security. Nobody
seems to think anybody can hear in
the seat in front, or the seat behind,
especially in the evening, and If cleo
trio light were not as good a conductor
of private conversation as daylight.
Two women were running down a mu-
tual acquaintance volubly in an open
car the other night, when one of them
summed up the case in these final
words:

erly advertised by Barnum, if he had
had such an animal in the greatest
show that used to be on earth.-NeW

Prize Fish Story.

The fish story record stands shat
tered. This is the latest, and it is
vouchcd for in all seriousness: In 1873
fisherman took some trout through
the ice in Central Wisconsin. The
largest trout was placed in cold stor-
age warehouse, and afterwards for
gotten. Eleven years later the ware
house was burned, and, to save the
ice, enough water was thrown on to
fill up the water-tight cellar below
Three years later Al trout were taken
out of the cellar, in addition to the
original one, identified through lack
OF an eye and broken tail, which had
evidently fallen into the water when
the warehouse was destroyed, thawed
out and spawned.
