WORDS OF WISDOM.

TO be light-hearted is often to be
simply light-headed.
There are criminals that can be elias
sified, but there are no criminal classes
Sincerity often consists in frankness
in stating opinions which are not worth
stating.
Life is a succession Of choices. One
cannot often have this and that, but
this or that.
II we cannot make ourselves happy
we can make others happy, and they in
turn can create happiness for us,
He that cannot forgive others breaks
the bridge over which he himself must
pass, for every man has need to be for
given.
Our duty to God is cheerfully ac
knowledged but toward our neighboI
we rarely realize we have any special
obligation.
1t is so easy and pleasant TO discover
sins lurking in the pursuits for which
you are not inclined Many of us pos
sess wonderful powers of perception
in that direction.
A fatterer is said to be a beast that
biteth smiling. But il is hard to know
them from friends they are so obse
quous and full Of protestations. for az
a wolf resembles a dog so doth a fat
terer a friend.
1t has been said shat bright thoughts
do not occur TO ignorant people
neither can they, for there is nothing
within TO suggest them. The daily
ordinary level determines the height to
which we can rise on rare occasions.
When we see leaves drop from theiI
trees in the beginning of autumn, such
we think. is the friendship of the
world. While the sap of maintenance
lasts friends swarm in abundance, but
in the winter Of need they leave Us
naked He is a happy man that haiti
n true friend at his need, but he is
more truly happy that hath no need Of
his friends.

Always Easy to See Errors After They Are
Irremediablc.
When l was reading proof on the old
National Republican, says writer in
the Washington Trade Unionist, mad
q post norton assistant located In
New York, but ! never knew who he
was, He took the paper and read
proof carefully ON it for several days,
forwarding the result to the business
office.
After he had sent several papers
containing the results Of his labors he
put in an application for the Job, but
he didn't get it. His ignorance of local
geography and affairs caused him to
make some very amusing corrections,
but I'm not denying that he found
quite number Of legitimate errors as
and one can in any daily newspaper
OF course, was prejudiced in the
matter, and my judgment was not as
cool and impartial as would have been
that of an uninterested party, but !
thought that was pretty mean way
to try to get fellows situation away
from him. have known that method
of procedure to be attempted several
times, but l have never known it to
succeed.
1t is always easy to see errors after
they are irremediable, but it takes the
eye of an eagle, the watchfulness of a
ferret and the alertness of pointer to
run them to earth while they are legiti
mate prey.
remember the remarks Of my old
boss, when l was running the mixing
machine on the lightning hand press,
with which he rushed off the edition Of
24S copies, during the first year Of my
apprenticeship
If he stopped for few minutes to

rha wnrlh,l area,o,t rroblem.

An organized effort to conquer the
greatest problem of the age is urged
by Prof. John Perry. The worlds
present comfort depends upon coal,
but our steam engines are wasting
from 30 to 90 per cent of their fuel,
while the store of coal is vanishing
at such a rate that in another hundred
years the English hamlets Of content
ed working folk that have become
cities of luxurious people will decay
again into hamlets, inhabited by dis
contented, poverty-stricken popula-
ton. Taking the value of human la
Dor rs the normal value Of energy,
England is wasting 900 times its ma
tional debt every year. The voltaic
cell wastes less than 10 per cent Of
its fuel energy and paths have been
opened that seem to lead to a conver-
sion of the energy of coal into me-
chanical work through electricity with
like small loss, but the efforts Of
scientific men are discouraged by the
difficulties and tho small prospect Of
personal reward. The investigation
must be national or international. Il

If one or two chiefs like Lord Kelvin
or Lord Rayleigh were entrusted with
the expenditure of a million year
for two or three years, with
power TO impress the services of all
scientific workers likely to be Of use,
they would bring the inven-

was sent over the road to ascertain
exactly the tonnage that could be
hauled on the various grades between
the lake and leveler sections OF the

plans will be prepared TO lower the
grades where necessary. and gener-

PARIs cREEN AND LADY BUGS.
The Technfeal and Learned Deei-lon
Of Kentucky Judge in a Curi-
ous Damage Case.

Judge Sterling B. IQney, Of the cir
cult court Of jefferson county, Ken
tucky, recently rendered an opinion in
a curious case. says the New York Trib-
une. A man was employed last July to
sprinkle paris green on potato vines
TO kill lady bugs, and on account ofthe
heat he opened his shirt with the re-
suit that he was poisoned by the paris
green. He sued his employer, who en-
tered a demurrer TO the petition, and
the learned judge sustained the de-
murrer for the following reasons. The
plaintiff had no right in foro con-
scieutiae or tn for0 exteTno TO make
an indecent exposure of his person
while killing lady bugs the plaintiff
exceeded the scope of his employment
in sprinkling paris green elsewhere
than on the potato vines. as his special
and exclusive agency was to kill lady
bugs basking in the shade of said p0-
fota vines; the plaintiffs act in allow
ing the defendants paris green 10 come
in contact with his flesh, instead Of
with the flesh of the ladybugs, was un-

plaintiff complains was the result Of
