''The Lamb GOurd."

The Duke of HOlsteln, in his Travels
In Muscovy and Persia" 0636), gives a
full account of a wonderful vegetable
growing in the neighborhoOd Of the city
Of Samara, Russia, and known as the
lamb or sheep gourd." The duke
says: 1T most resembles a lamb in all
its members and on that account is
called the lamb gourd' 1t changes
place in growing as far as the vine or
stalk will reach, and wherever 1t turns
the grass withers. When it ripens the
stalk wlthers and the outward rfnd is
covered with kind of hair, which the
Muscovites use instead of fur. They
showed us some of these skins, which
were covered with soft wool, not unlike
that of a lamb newly weaned"
Scahger also speaks of the 'lamb
gourd" in his works. In one chapter
he says that the queer vegetable con-
tinues to grow as long as grass is plen-
tlful, but that when the grass fails the
pore creetyr dyes frome lac of nour-
ishment." He also says that the wolf
is the only animal that will feed upon

A Universal Alphabet.

A movement is on foot for the
calling of an international confer
ence on the adoption of universal
phonetic alphabet. It is suggested
that the Roman alphabet should
serve as the basis, but that slight
notifications be made in the forms
of the letters, which would not in
terfere with their legibility to any
one familiar with them in their
present shape, in order to indicate
the precise sounds for which they
stand. Such an alphabet, it is main
tanned, would enable any one to pro-
nounce correctly at glance the
words of a foreign language, be
cause the spelling, apart from a few
special sounds, would be the same as
in his own language. There Is said
to be no language so hindered by It's
spelling as the English.

kindness of speech. disposition
to offend.
5. Purity. This virtue respects
childhood, cherishes innocence,
protects the weak, is clean of mind
as we'll as of heart, and clean OF
speech as well as of Imagination.
It dominates the animal in man
To preserve it he becomes tenn
perate, even abstemious.
6. Trust in Providence. This
trait makes its possessor content
with his lot in life, without giving
up all ambition to better his condi-
ton, especially if other persons
are dependent upon him. But 1t
removes inquietude of mind, fret
fulness, grumbling and envy OF
others property. 1t puts its
treasures above the earth.
Given, therefore. a young man
who is docile, veracious, honest,
considerable, chaste and contented,
and the strong foundations for a
noble character are seen in the
concrete.
Building on the ordinary foun-
dation of the Christian life, with
these principles, he will raise high
the edifce of a fine character.

A VERSATILE TRADESMAN.

The thriftiest man in the United
States lives in Louisville. He has
trades that fit any climate, season or
time of the day. As an example of
his wonderful versatility, a friend
tells the following story of an aver
age day in the life Of this strenuous
man:
One morning last week he started
out with a rug to sell on commission
for an installment house. He sold
the rug and then came back and
took out a clock, which he also dis
posed of. About noon he was called
BY an undertaken to embalm a body,
which he did. Another undertaken
sent for him to drive hearse to the
cemetery, and after he had disposed
of this errand satisfactorily he
preached a short sermon at the
grave.
He drove the hearse back to town
and filed in an afternoon for can
dymaker who was taken suddenly Ill.
In the evening he worked from 6
until o'clock in barber shop and
from that hour until midnight set
type on a daily newspaper.-Louls-

One Who Had Enough.

Baron Rothschild, the head of the
French branch of the family, recent
ly received a curious legacy. This
was the fortune of an ancient beggar
named Abraham Fidler, who died in
a garrett at Nice and was found to
possess 1,25O,00O francs. He be-
oueathed it to the other millionaire
on the plea that money must seek
money" Baron Rothschild was not
of the opinion, in this case at any
rate, and he proceeded to hunt up
the lamented Fidler's poor relations,
three of whom were found at Odessa
and a fourth at Brooklyn. The
legatee divided the million and a
quarter among them with absolute
contempt for the wishes of the pious
testator.

house. There is a grimness, i con-

What are Principles?

You sometimes hear some one
say: He's man of principle, =" or
That mans principles are
sound. "
What are principles?
When I was a young man, 1
often asked myself that question,
and 1 wondered where list of
principles could be found, out of
which I might choose mine.
What are principles?
Principles are maxims or rules
for the regulation of life. Without
principles a man might do right
by chance, but not as a fixed habit
from a deliberately selected motive.
As soon as he lays down a resolu-
ton to control his action, he has
formed a principle.
The best set of principles are IN
the Ten Commandments and IN the
Sermon on the Mount
They are condensed into the two
great principles:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with thy whole heart, with
all thy mind, with all thy strength;
and thy neighbor as thyself. y
After young man agrees with
himself that he ought to have some
principles, he will find that for the
development of a manly Christian
character, he will need these:
l Reverence. This quality be-
slows respect for authority docil-
itv to the Creator, to parents, to
employers, to pastors, to civil Of
hcials, and to all others who are
entitled to obedience.
? Truthfulness. This charac-
teristic makes the young man hate
false hood in all its shapes exag-
geration or its opposite, equlvoca-
ton, subterfuge or mental reserva-
ton. 1t raises him to be man OF
honor, whose word is always worth
100 per cent, and will be taken at
its full value in preference to some
other mems bonds.
5. Integrity. An honest man
is still the noblest work of God,
but his probity must extend not
only to his money debts, but also
to all his other obligations. He
will render to Cesar what Is Caesar
He cannot be bribed, nor bullled
nor cajoled. His rectitude knows
no bend.
4 Gentleness. This DISPOSE
ton is the opposite of quarrel
someness. 1t couusels peace. II
avoids anger. irritability, nagging,
cutting remarks, cruel jokes, ur-

FROM TIE XAS.

Brandon. Texas, May 13. Editor
News: | thought perhaps my Rankin
friends would like to hear something from
Texas, and as it is almost impossible to
write each one personally, concluded to
try writing The News. Times are very
dull here at present. Nothing except rain
and mud. 1t has been raining since the
9th of April. There has only been abou t
a weeks blowing done during that time.
Farmers are considerably behind with
their crops. Very little cotton has been
planted, and corn and grain are suffering
from the continued rains.
This is Enthusiastically a fine country,
but there is one thing sure, if you will
stick to it in dry weather it will surely
stick to you in wet weather. This is a
fine country for corn, cotton and grain;
vegetables grow here, but not so we'll as
on sandy land. They raise an abundance
of peaches, apples do not do SO well.
Brandon is very nice little town. We
have three ohurches-Methodist, Baptist
and Presbyterian, cotton gin, oil mill,
bank and six stores, and seven thousand
dollar college. Of course we have quite
a nice little town and splendid class of
people. Nothing else of interest to relate.
Very truly,
