WORDS OF WISDOM.

An obvious fact about habit fire.
quently noted is that though we gain
no pleasure from doing Il thing, yet
we suffer great discomfort from not
doing it. And so great is the force OF
habit that this is applicable to good.
bad or indifferent practices. The for
nation of habit becomes Il great
tyranny if the habit be bad. and. on
the other hand. great prop to virtue
if the habit be good and desirable
The more we look at the world with
intelligent and loving eyes, the more
the world means to us. The more we
look Mt each others faces with intelli-
gence and love. the more human be-
ings mean to us. The more we think
of the fathomless depths and the lofty
heights of being, and o. the Being that
fills being and is tile source of it, the
more will it mean to us.
The sainthoods of the tireside and of
the market place-they have their mar
tyrdoms, and their palms. and though
they get into no calendars. they leave
n benedictiOn and force behind them
on the earth when they go up to
heaven.
The things which. in our soliloQuies,
we Drag we will do. are apt to be In
inverse proportion to the things we
really do.
The hest evidence of merit is the
cordial recognition Of 1t whenever anu
wherever it may be found.
Each of us must journey out of this
world into that which lies beyond
alone. with no comrade.
Experience is ii keen knife and hurts
while it extracts the cataract that
blinds.
The future destiny of the child is
always the work of the mother.
In this life there is but one sure
happiness-tO live for others.
The more you speak of yourself tic
more you are likely to lie.

One of the essentials in keeping n
road in repair is to keep it well round
ed to allow the water to run off after
each rain. This is accomplished by
running grader over the road. AS
soon as the newly crushed stones arc
packed the grader is run along each
side and all loose stones are thrown
back into the road. Again before spring
the road is gone over. and all loose
stones thrown into the road. and the
two ridges between the centre and
the wheel tracks are cut of and
thrown into the low place in the centre
that has been worn by the one horse
travelling In the middle of the road
The grader is used at least once each
year, cutting off nll high places and
filling in the depressiOns. The road
will now pack and cement together,
and make road as smooth and easy
to travel over us floor. This piece
of road has been Inacadamized seven
years. The building of this road cost
about $1,000 mile, 5000 being tax and

Rather funny ceremony that is
gone through with every year has
just been accomplished, and that is
the marking of the young swans. or
cygnets. OH the Upper Thames. Its
swans are. of course. a feature OF the
river after Richmond is passed. Some
of them are owned by the crown. and
the rest by two of the ancient river
companies" and it is in order to dis
tinguish them that the cygnets are
marked.
The swan markers are picturesque
company They wear white tiannels,
and can be told apart by their diff
fcrent colored jerseys. Those OF the
Kings men are scarlet. those OF the
Dyers' Company navy blue, and those
of the Winners Company blue and
white. The markers embark In half
dozen skiffs. at the stern of which
flies either the Kings tiag-a white
field with n crown. and the royal
cipher. II. r." or one of the banner
cites of the two companies.
The party sets out from MOlesey
Lock, and after that things are pretty
lively, for the operation of marking
swans. even young swans, Is no holi-
day pastime. The birds fight like
furies. They are surprisingly strong.
too. and every once in while one of
the markers has an arm or leg brOk;,
en- by vicious blow from II cygnet's
wing. The birds are caught by means
of n hook at the end Of long pole,
and they are branded OH the beak.
either with the royal monogram or
that of one of the two companies. Usu-
ally the man who does the branding
dcprives the swan marked by him of
one OF its feathers, which he sticks in
his cap as n trophy.
The number of cygnets is smaller
than usual this year. on account of
the bad weather and floods which have
prevailed along the river. BY the way,
the Thames swans have reputation
for viciousness. and folks who have
seen what they can do with their
wings and benks make 1t point to
give them wide berth.-London Cor

The Boston and Worcester street troll
ley line is now experimenting with q
device by which it is hoped to prevent
such accidents as recently took place
on that line by the dispatcher sending
OFF two ears Oh the same track from
different points and in opposite d.rcc-
lions. He was powerless to avert the
collision when he had discovered his

NJ. Massard, the editor, who is an of
ficer in the French reserves. that the
French army is now i'll possession of n
new cartridge which must make 1t
for the next four years the most for
midable fighting force in the world.
1t is adapted to the 1856 rife, and
its range is said to be twice that of the
German rifle. The bullet tapers to IL
sharp point. and is longer and lighter
than any cartridge now in use.
AS it cannot be used in the small
bore rifles with which the armies Of
Europe are armed. NJ. Massard says
that for the next four years, at least.
it will be mt the exclusive service of

Many important railroad lines in the

that they need large additions to their
rolling stock in order to handle prop
erly the business which is thrust upon
them. The demands for transporta-

States that blockadcs on Il large scale
are frequent. The tides of passenger
travel are also at the flood, and rapid
ly rising higher. Doubters of the
prosperity outlook for the people of

for gloomy forebodings.
