Six Saving to Remember

Out of large number Of quotations
selected by its readers the Woman's
Home Companion for January prints
the following as the 6ve most helpful
notices for the New Year. They are
worth remembering:
There is something better than
making living; making life"
1T is never too late to be what you
might have been"
"Great principles are in small ac-
tions. If we fail in Our present cir
cumstances to live nobly, we need not
imagine we should have done better
on a grander scale. Develop great
character in simple duties and in in
conspicuous trials
ITO be of good cheer in case of
disappointment; exercise greater
carity toward the erring, and make
more allowance for the opinions Of
people whose views differ from mine;
to smile more and frown less
ITO be honest; to be kind; to earn
a little, and to spend little less; to
make upon the whole family hap
pier for his presence; to renounce,
when that shall be necessary, and not
be erabittered; to keep a: few friends,
and these without capitulation; above
ALL on the same grim condition, to
keep friends with himself-here is a
task for all that a man has of forti-
tude and deliccy.'

Wilkes Starting Point.

A story which shows the great ef-
feet which an apparently trif1ling
thing will sometimes have upon per-
sons after life is told in connection
with Wilkie, the painter.
One day, when Sir John Sinclair
was dining in company with Mr.. Will
kie, the artist was asked if any par
ticular circumstances had led him to
adopt his profession.
Had your father, mother or any OF
YOUR relations turn for painting"
inquired Sir John. 'FWhat led you to
follow that art?'
The truth is, Sir John" replied Mr..
Wilkie. 'you made me painter"
II" exclaimed the baronet. "Why,
never had the pleasure of meeting
you before"
"No," responded the painter, with
smile. ':but when you were drawing up
the statistical account of Scotland my
father, who was clergyman in Fife,
had a good deal of correspondence
with you concerning his parish, and in
the course OF it you sent him a color
ed drawing Of soldier in the uniform
of your Highland Feneib1e regiment.
RI was 50 delighted with this picture
that I was constantly drawing and
trying to color copies of it, and it was
in this way, to the best of my belief
that my transformation init a painter
was sradutlly effected"

THE TREE OF IMAGES.
Legend Of a Peculiar Plant That
Grows in Tibet.

There is a legend about a tree Of
Tibet, called the "tree of 10000 i'm
ages" which reads like this:
Far away in the dreary land Of Am
bo, in Tibet is green valley in which,
in Tartar tent, was born wonder
full boy named Tsong Kaba. From his
birth he had a long white beard and
flowing hair and could speak perfectly
his native tongue.
His manners were majestic, and his
words were full Of wisdom. When he
was three years old he resolved to cut
off his hair and live solitary life. So
h., mother shaved his head and threw
his long, flowing locks upon the
ground outside teir tent door. From
his hair sprang the wonderful tree.
Tsong Kaba lived many years, did
countless good deeds and at last died.
But the tree which had grown up
from his hair lived, and they called it
"the tree of 10000 images" This was
long before the christian era, but it is
the testimony of the French mission
aries that the tree lives yet. The leav-
es are always green. The wood is of
a reddish tint and has an aroma as of
cinnamon.
The bark of the tree is marked with
we'll known symbols in the Tibetan
language Alphabctic characters also
appear in green on every leaf, some
darker, some lighter than the leaf it
self. The branches Of the tree are de-
scribed IS being spread out like piun1-
es Of feathers crowning a trung only
eight feet high, but Of great Eirth-
Two French missionaries who saw
tho tree were fully convinced that the
marks upon it were Of natural growth.

Don't Be Envious.

The men or women who envy those
who happen to be able to dress well
and to enjoy the pleasures of life a
little more than those who are COM
PEELED to work continually will be
miserable all their days, for, no matter
how high they may get they will find
others still higher. The envious per-
SON is never satisfied and never can
be. Take the successful men Of the
city, and you will find that the major
ity Of them began just where you did.
Then why are you not in equally
good circumstances? If you ran a
race with a man and lost it, you
would hardly blame your failure on
the race course You started even
and ran together, and you lost be-
cause you couldn't run as fast as he
or lacked the power Of endurance. So
your failure in the race of life is not
due to the track, but to your lack Of
ability as riInner.

Jail Life in Japan
Pail Mall Gazette.

Imagine park or garden III the
Japanese style, with dwarf trees, sur
rounded by hedge instead of a wall,
in this park a group of Japanese
houses, like those occupied by peas
ants. The prisoners are all at work
proportioned to their physical ability
Some are threshing and grinding rice
others are weaving coarse cloth of a
dark red color, of which the prison
uniforms are made; the old and inhrm
are separating leaves of paper All
Of them receive percentage Of their
earnings. The younger prisoners are
in school. The discipline is military
in form, but in its spirit reformatory.
There are few evasions notwith-
standing the ease with which they
could be effected One reason for
is the efficiency of the aJpanese po-
lice, which is said to be the best in
the world. The prisoners are divided
into three grades, and are differently
fed according as they are idle, and
refractory, amenable to discipline, or
exceptionally we'll behaved. The only
other punishment is solitary conhne-
ment in sort of dungeo- not exceed
ig five days. No prisoner may be dis
charged, however short his term of
sentence, unless his family or friends
assume responsibility for him. The
result has been the organization of a
large number of prisoners aid socie-
ties.

Feeding Old Hens,

Farmers Home Journal.
AS long as the old hens will lay it
is not wise to market them, but they
must be closely watched in late
summer and fall, especially after they
go into winter quarters, so that if
they stop laying they can be prepar-
ed for market as quickly as possible.
It has been found that old hens will
lay into the winter for a considerable
period if some pains are taken to feed
them during late summer while they
are on the range One Of the best
foods for this period is peas, using
the field peas and feeding them raw
after being cracked or cooking them
and feeding as a mash with bran.
This feed incites egg production
and keeps the hens in good condition
without making them over fat; at the
same time they are in such good con-
dition that should they stop laying
they can be fattened for market at
small expense. The plan is worth
trying for one of the losses of the
poultry business comes from spend
ing too much in fattening the hens
for market after they have stopped
laying.

Had a Sure heasss1eas.

Mrs. Cummings was busy at her
desk, says Lippincotts, when Ned, An
"old time" darky who had been a
servant in her family ever since DE
fd de wah" days, approached her and
With many apologies for the Interrupt
ton asked ~His Sally can I git off two
weeks from today? I has to go to
town, ma'am."
1.-TWO weeks from today. WAY, I
think SO, Ned. What are you going
to do in town." inquired Mrs. Cum
nings, kindly.
II vans to go to 4 fun'al. Miss
Sally; fren' Of mines gwine to be
buried den," he said.
"You don't mean two weeks, then
Ned" returned Mrs. Cummings.
"Yase, m, Miss Sally, it's two weeks
from today; hain't dat de twenty
Fust?"
"Yes, two weeks from today will
BE the twenty-hrst, but you must be
mistaken, they could not keep the
body so long except in q vault"
Mrs Cummings was now thoroughly
puzzled by the old darky's request
and wondered what it could all mean.
She knew none of Ned's set could af-
ford to pay for a vault and how could
they be making arrangements for a
funeral two weeks hence, with the
prospective corpse, still alive? The
thought made her sshudder.
"Wel, IN, dat de day." said Ned.
"But how can you be so sure? Sup
pose your friend rs not dead by that
timer" ~
"Oh, vase, m, he soly will be de
twenty-fust; dat's de day he's gwine
to be buried 'nless he git out befo,."
"Ned, what do you mean? When did
he die?" asked Mrs. Cummings.
"Oh, he amt dead yea, Miss Sally,
but he sholy will die, cause he's gwine
to be hung dat day and dey'I bea
fun'l all right"

ADVICE FOR BACHELORS.
Some Valuable Suggestions About
Calling on the Girls.

ooIIG Fd1udUfc .SuSSSSuO1-S <1OOu'
Calling on the Girls.
Agree with the girls father in pol
itics and the mother in religion, says
the Chicago Journal.
Don't put so much sweet stuff On
paper. If you do you will hear it
in after years when your wife has
some especial purpose in inhictine
upon you the severest punishment
known to a married man.
Go home at a reasonable hour in
the evening. Don't wait until a girl
has to throw her souf into yawn
that she can't cover with both hands.
A little thing like that might cause a
GOODNESS at the very beginning of
tie game.
If, on the occasion Of your first
call, the girl upon whom you have
set your young affections looks like
an iceberg and acts like a cold wave
take your leave early and stay away.
Woman in her hour of freeze is un-
certain, coy and hard to please.
In cold weather finish saying good
night in the house. Don't stretch
it all the way to the front gate, and
thus lay the foundation for future
asthma, bronchitis, neuralgia and
chronic catarrh to help you to worry
the girl after she has married.
Don't lie about financial conditions.
It is very annoying to a bride who
has pictured life Of ease in her an
oestral halls to learn too late that you
ekpect her to ask a ba!dheaded old
parent who has been uniformly kind
to her to take you both IN out of the
c@d.

Oil Locomotive to Halve Steam Cost

Oil Locomotive to Halve Steam Cost.
A Denver (Col.) special to the New
York Herald says: Local railroad
men are awaiting with interest the
advent of the new internal combus-
ton locomotive which the Southern
Pacific company expects to install
soon.
It is said that this type of engine
will be especially adapted to noun
tain climbing, and will, therefore; be
valuable in the Rocky mountain
country.
In theory the cost of operation will
be less than half that Of steam and a
speed of 100 to 100 miles an hour
can be developed. In fact the build
ers say there is no limit to the speed,
providing the track is in suitable
conditions. Enough oil fuel can be
carried to run one of these locomo-
tives from New York to San Fran
cisco, without stopping.
The limit of speed and power in
steam locomotives has apparently
been reached. Within the last FIVE
years locomotives have gained 1oo,-
600 pounds in weight and can take Oh
no more.
1t takes a pound in weight to carry
pound in weight, and every addi-
tion to the capacity mean greater
weight in the tender and consequent
1y more power to draw the tender.
Driving wheels to produce high speed
can be made just so large The larger
they are the more weight is concen-
trated in one place. This concentra-
ton cannot become too great because
it would be an ubearable strain on the
rails and bridges. To distribute the
weight long driving rods are used.
But the rods must be short enough
TO enable the engine to make curves
without leaving the track.
In the internal combustion locomo-
tives the power is so concentrated
that almost all of it can be used. 1t
can develop four times as much en-
ergy as is used in the ordinary en-
gine.
The locomotive being constructed
for the Southern Pacific is the only
one of its kind. In action it is what
is known as the four-.troke cycle.
From a compressed air reservoir
the power is obtained for starting.
Thi. gives the piston its first stroke
when it takes the air alone at atmos-
pheric pressure and temperature.
The second stroke compresses this
air to high pressure and to a tenn
perature of about 1000 degrees Fab
renheit The third stroke is what is
known as the working stroke. At
this point oil is sprayed into the air
at 100 degrees Fahrenheit The
amount of oil sprayed is regulated
by governors.
During the first part of this stroke
combustion OF the oil is carried on at
. constant pressure for period reg
s&.tsd BY the amount OF Cd sprayed

3. 1895. at 92S 7th street, when Mr.. NJ.
Goldenberg purchased modest stock OF
goods In the building and began with
line Of staple dry goods. The force of en-
ployes at the beginning did not exceed
twenty persons. But though the stock at
first was limited. the energy and business
ability of the proprietor was not. and in
short time the business outgrew the orisi-
nal building, and year after the store was
established Mr.. Goldenberg proceeded to an
mex the adjoining store building.
The pace Of progress started from the
beginning. gradually grew to a more rapid
rate. and a little later the firm was obliged
10 add another store room. The annexa-
tion of smaller store buildings adjoining the
establishment continued through the past
eight years, until now fourteen buildings,
each of which once contained separate
stores. have been taken In and made part
of the Goldenberg establishment. This i'm
