Song of the Self4lade Nan.
Ob, his face was stem and his lofty glance
shone forth with a haughty light,
Said his air serene, "It is plain to be seenwhat
ever I do is right."
So he took his seat where the passers-by in-
habit the crowded course,
And he laughed-" Tee hee ! They must gaze
on me as theejourney along perforce."
And thus in a grim, funereal tone this august
old ohap began,
And he sang with a twing of his single string
the song of the self-made man.
"Oh, my parents were poor but honest folk,
and I was a weakly child ;
But my spiritgrew wish thebroath I drew, and.
I hungered -to draw it mild. ,
I hungered for lucre, grew wild for hire, was
athirst for a title clear,
Though the folks would plague with allusions
vague that myliver was out of gear.
And when in the deep d of a sleepless night I
groaned as I. tossed awake,
Twat the fever of thought, though they
claimed. it was not, but nodturnal pie and
cake.
And ever when I ray thought) would tell in a

In aheartless way they .would laugh and say
"Oh, a tonic would do you good,"
But I climbed the steeps of a great success and
plucked a tall feather from fame;
And though it is known to myselt alone, why, I
got there just the same.
And that is the reason I twang my harp, so I
ventilate my affairs,
For the man who succeeds finds ever he needs
to advertise all his wares,
So if they refuse my claim to admit and will
not accept on trust,
Then I force them to choose my wares to use,

So I say, when a man has made his point, that

He must put on airs, and:shout his airairs-he,

DON'T SCOLD HIM.
I do not believe a man was ever reformed
by scolding or Sarcasm. Tears and repin-
Jugs and come:la-flits soon grow to be an old
story to him. He can .find,. more pleasure
among his convivial companions than he
finds in such a home. Alas, that it should.
be P0.
Good women ought tr; study the a:di of
pleasing more than they do No woman
can afford to fall beck upon her goodness to
reform a man. Ib isa dangerous experiment
and one thab rarely succeeds. The &verage
man must be tittertained.
A man who has been as hard drinker or
opium victim cannot suddenly give up hie
vices without some stimulant to take their
place for a time. A man accustomed to the
excitement of gay company ceamot suddenly
become setiefled . with the dulness and
stupidity which manyegood people allow to

The statistician is right. The age of mar-
riage in both men and women is getting
steadily higher, until now the man or
evezage age at which men become benediets
is 42. They are more prudent ard calcite]
and the better off they become' and the
more independent, the later inlife they
wait before choosing a wife. As the

women to take into consideration this
tendency of modern man. The younger
ones are hard to catch.

Independence or Women.
The women of Boston have jest struck a
large, signifiesmb blow for independence.
At least a dozed of them have appeared on
the streets in trousers. Some call theni
divided skirts, ,others , bloomers and others
Syrian trousers, but they mean all the same
thing. 1Virs. B 0. Flower, wife of the
editor of the Al'enC6, is among the promi-
nent women who hare adapted the costume,
and the other day. when she went bate a
millinery store on Washington street for the
innocent and pealseworthy purpose of buy-
ing a new bonnet, shiposane near causing

Why should a woman be compelled to drag
around the burden of yards of superfluous

Trade in Cloves.
Cloves have for many years been a

principally owing to the lerga economise

legitimate demand, Zenzibar chives fell lasb

The Dangerous Nutmeg. •
Cases are infrequently reported is which
children and sometimes grown persons are
poisoned by the free use of nutmegs, it: not
being generally known that this made of
common household use is really a deadly
poison, says the Albany Express. This is
true, in fact, of most common condiments;
but when misused, these articles, such as
pepper, capsicum, eto., are so obnoxious to
Ole taste, excepting when taken in very
minute quantities, that the consumer is
warned in a very positive manner before he
has had an opportunity to do himself
serious injury. This is not the case, how-
ever, with the nutmeg. This nut, which
contains a poisOuoue principle of a very
deadly character, may be consumed with-
out inconvenience in quantities sufficient
to produce fatal consequences ; and it is
surprising not that death occasionally
occurs from its 080, but that deaths are
not more frequent. A fatal 0E180 has
been recently reported in which a boy
ef 8 years fell into a comatose oondition
after eating two nutmegs and died within
12 hours.
The Gough of a Locomotive.
The cough or puff of a railway engine is
due to the abrupt: emission of Waste 81389.02
up the chimney. When moving slewly the
coughs can, of course, be heard following
each other quite distinctly, but when speed
Is put on the puffs came out one after the
other mach more rapidly, and when 1
coughs a Become are produced they cannot
be :separately distinguished by the ear. A
locomotive rousting at the rate of nearly
70 utilise an hour gives out 20 puffs of
steam every seeond-thab is, tee for each

' !Model City to Ile Built.
A "City of the Future," such as Bellamy
dreamed of, will be shown ab the World's
Fair, of Paris, which is planned for the year
1900.
The Inventions Nouvelles proposes v. de-
parture from the usual toy arrangement of
miniature models, Eiffel towers, etc., and
advocates the erection of a city on a site
sufficiently large to illustrate practically all
the most prominent new inventions, as well
as.)ahe fruit i of modern eiectro technique.
The cost of erecting this futtzre model city
is to be covered by renting out the houses,
hotels etc., as well as all the stores to the
exhibitors. At the close of the exposition
the entire- site, with buildings, etc., will be
utiltzed as the nucleus for a new quartor of
the city of Paris. .
A. Tax on Flunkyhan.
The French Chamber has passed a meas-
ure laying a tax on all liveries -that le to
say, any gentleman or lady who claps what
we call " livery " upon a servant shall pay a
tax of 20 francs a year for every livery worn.
The opponents in the bill in France are en-
deavoring to bring it into ridicule by in-
sisting that the chef in his cap and the
nurse in her white apron shall also come
under its provisions, but this will COO Win.
The spirit of the bill is all right. It is put-
ting as tax on ilankylem,and this has beams
so conspicuous of late years in what we call
American society thet the subject recom-
mends itself to the attention of our lew
givers. A , carriage rolling along Fifth
