THE best recommendation man
can have is that power should write
him down as a pestilence and respect
ability spurn him as an outcast. A
man may be pestilence without being
a prophet, but he cannot be prophet
without being a pestilence to the Phar-
isee.
UNPOPULARITY A COMPLIMENT.
A man is of little value in his time
il his thought is not ahead of his
time. This is another way of saying
that some degree of unpopularity is
compliment of which we ought to
strive to be worthy.
1t is not the dead fish which floats
upon the water that makes the spray
az. But whom the waves encounter
the resistance OF the rocks, they are
dashed to foam and the cliffs resound
with an angry roar. The popular man
NAV be only a dead fish on the tide
of time The storm has ever ragged
most furiously about the heads Of
those strong personalities OF history
who have helped turn the tide Of hui
man events who have been greater
than kings and eourtiers. who have
been mlghtier than mohs and money.

Pare, core and cut into slices some large, good cooking apples. Make the following batter: A gill or white wine, two eggs, as much ground rice and flour mixed as will make a rich, stiff batter; add grated nutmeg and sugar to taste. Stew the apples in a little wine and sirup. Two pans will be required for this pancake. Pour enough batter into the boiling fat to cover the pan, then take the cooked slices of apples and screen the pan cake with them, at the same time fry ing another pancake in the other pan and turn it upon the apples-this will leave the golden sides both outward. Drain and cut each one into four, put upon a dish, screen with sugar and serve with wine sauce.--Washingto Star.

In 1.-The Mummy and the Running Bird" which John Drew will present at Polls on Friday evening there san odd character, an Italian organ-grind- CT. The author makes this character come to London to seek revenge on q man who had robbed him of his wife in his SicfIfdn home. One cold win ter night he is nearly frozen, and is playing his organ beneath the window of the mummy" who is John Drew. Touched with sympathy for him, "the mummy" befriends him. who gives him something warm to eat and to drink, and finally engages his as his valet. While in that capacity, and still on the track of the man, he suspects one D'OreilP the humnIing bird,' who is on the point of eloping with the Mum nly's', wife. as the man who, after ruining one home, now seeks to de stroy another. He prevents an elope-
 nent, and having found his victim. the author leaves us to guess what happens to him, as at the final cur tain, the organ grinder has only just satisfied himself that D'Orelli IS the
 man, and is finally seen pursuing him to the street. Seats will go on S ,'e

wATCHEs ARE LIKE WOMEN.
Must Be Tenderly Cared for and Not Exposed to Sudden Changes
 of Temperature.

Every owner of a watch should con- sider that the delicate piece of mech anism belongs to the feminine gender, and, like a sweetheart or wife, must be tenderlg cared for and not subject ed to sMddens changes of temperature, says, journal of the trade. Many man who would not think of letting his wife go out in the evening without some kind of wrap about her shoul- ders will wear his watch next to his warm body all day and le1 it lie at night on a cold mantelpiece. Then he wonders why it gains or loses time.
 Cold causes contraction of the met als composing the balance wheel and it's parts, and the watch consequently gains. When the parts expand under the heat of the body the pivots, bear ings, etc., tighten up and the watch loses.
 Getting the steel parts of oness watch magnetized is another fre- quent cause of trouble; while chang ing the position of watch, such as putting it down horizontally, is also apt to affect it's action.
 " AS WSAA hAO"Ai CAe1b d WaUSA WILL stop for some unexplained reason and go on again if it is given a slight jolt. The same trouble may not recur for years. This is due to the delicate hair spring catching either in the hair spring stud or in the regulator pins. The cause is sudden jump or quick movement, which gives jolt to tine balance-wheel and hairspring, and thus renders the catching possible.

PHOTOGRAPHS EVERYWHERE
In Hatpins, Belt Buckles, Clocks and on Tsmbstones Now
 adays.

Photographs of real people are seen in odd situations nowadays, says the New York Sun.
 Photographs of members of one's family or friends have long been com mon in brooches, watch fobs, neck charms and badges, but now they are set in the most inconsequent of dress essentials and toilet appointments.
 A girl fastens on her hat with pin that ends off in her sweetheart's pie ture or reflects the features of her baby sister.
 The mother wears her sons likeness set in one half of a belt buckle, with his wife's picture perhaps as a com panion piece.
 The minister's features ornament the end of deacon's walking cane or show out in the handle of his umbrella.
 The beau has his loves photograph on his match safe or in ring setting of bulb-like proportions.
 A glimpse at the catalogue of the most up-to-date photographic jewelry shows pencil tops, bracelets with four and five bangles, cuff links and hair fasteners all decorated with portraits. Some are tinted on porcelain and set in a framework of 1acquered metal; oth- CTS are black and white, chased gilt and plated silver setting.
 The most striking of the hatpins and dress fasteners are encircled with fire-eyed or grass-green stones. Others are set in glittering white brilliants. When the likeness on the hatpin is of an elderly man or woman, maybe the father or mother of the wearer, the contrast between the sober, common place features and the gay setting is Interesting.
 Photographs kept as treasures and mementos nfay be the occasion of vanity to the original, but not even the veriest coxcomb, it would seem, could feel flat tered at seeing his picture on hatpin, on the initial stick of fan or in the 9andle of parasol.
 Not only articles of adornment now boast the familiar photograph. They are set in paper weights and on the upper left-hand corner of clocks, are even mounted in vases and on the backs of hand mirrors and of brushes of va 5 rious sorts. And the visitor to any one of the popular cemeteries may discern ] them set behind glass as the chief or nament of grayestones.
