Bismarck and Gladstone.
There isisomething pathetic in what Bis-
arek, tele) is just about to complete his
nd year, seers of himself. Ile feela feeble,
tells hie friends, but not ill. His exist-
ce is puOoselese, not being in the service.
e has no longer any object in life, and
thing that he sees gives him pleasure.
O has lost his Wife, and his sons have bus-
ess of their own to attend to. Agriculture
d forestry have lost their interest, and
Ries are beginning to bore him. To a
an who has led'such a life of activity as
1
smarek has, it may be that existence
thout werk palls; and yet, if we contrast
condition with that of many of.:the great
n of the world when they reached old
e, we can see that such a physical condi-
n does npt always bring weariness and
content.;
If we contrast Bismarck's plaint with the
tiring activity of Mr. Gladatone, Who is
arly six year& his senior, we can realize
w the man himself may be reeponsible for
apathy,and for What he calls hie pur-
eless existence. The great Il'eli Inman

as clearly and firmly against the Armenian

Paddy Again.
An Irith laborer was told by his foreman
to bring a couple of wheelbarrows from a
workshop about two miles distant.'
Paddy went for them, but uding that
he could not manage to bring the two at
once, brought back one.
The foreman seeing him come with only
one of them, asked him why he did not
bring the two by putting one upside don
upon the other.
' 011, sure Sr, I didn't think of that !"
So off went Paddy to bring the other.
After an hour had passed he returned,
puffineand blowing, with two barrows.
"1 don't want three wheelbarrows, My
man."
"Sure, Sor, I did not bring three ba
rows."
"What did you do with the first o
that you brought ?"
" Begorra, I took it back to bring the
other," -Exchange..

"it'll mean some work."

inquired the man who had just filed an 80

" Yes."
" Well, I see her. What of it,

Tit for Tat.
A British sailor being a witness in
murder case, was called to the stand and
was asked by the counsel for the Crown
whether he was for the plaintiff or defend-
ant.
" Plaintiff or defendant ?" said the sailor,
scratching his head. "Why, I don't know
what you mean by plaintiff or defendant. I
come to speak for me friend," pointing to
the prisoner.
"Your a pretty fellow for a witness,"
said the counsel, "not to know what plain-
tiff or defendant means."
Later in the trial the counsel asked the
sailor what part of the ship he was in at
the time of the murder.
"Abaft the binnacle, me lord," said the
sailor.
"Abaft the binnacle ?" replied the bar-
rister. "What do you mean by that ?"
" Ain't you a pretty fellow for a •coun-
sellor," said the sailor grinning at the coun-
sel, "not to know what abaft the binnacle
is '?"

Premature and Late Develop-
ment. -
Chatterton wrote all his beautiful things,
exhausted all hopes of lifeandelaw nothing
better than death at the age of eighteen.
Burne and Byron died in their 37th year,
and doubtless the Strength a their genius
was over. Raffaelle, after filling the world
with divine beauty, perished at thirty-
seven ; Mozart earlier. These might have
produced still greater works. On the other,
hand, Handel was forty-eight before he.
gave the world "assurance of a man."
Dryden came up to London from the provt
inces, dressed in Norwich drugget, some-
what above the age of thirty, and did not
even then know that he could write a
single line of poetrY- ; yet what towering
vigor and swinging ease a.ppeared all at
once in " Glorious John." Milton had, in-
deed, written " Comus " at twenty-eight;
but he was upwards of fifty *hen he began
his great work. Cowper knew not his own
miet till he was far beyond , thirty; Alia
his Task "was not written . until about
his fiftieth year. Sir Walter Scott was also
upwarde of thirty before he published his
Minstrelsy,"and all his greatness was yet
to come.

He Owned that Fly.
It was on the west bound :express over
the Michigan Central the other afternoon.
A fat man who had been couipkining of the
heat, dust, rate of progress • and Many other
things finally decided to take a nap. Be-
fore getting settled down and e °sing his
i
eyes he was seen by thoae near it him to
take an artifical fly from hie v st pocket
and place it on his nose but itaivaa a quarter
of an hour before it attracted any attention
Then a woman koked back and noticed i
and said to her husband:
"Samuel, i do you see that? You had
better go and brush that fly off that poor
Infithl nose. It's- a wonder he can sleep
with it but I suppose he's tired out."
"Yes, I guess rn do that mach for him,"
replied the man and he rose up and Went
back.' The fly wise quiet,and hel advanced
Ins thumb and finger, carefully picked it off
and dropped it on the floor. 1
' 4Wha-what is it?" asked the' baldhead-
ed man as he aroused up.
"A fly on your nose sir."
"A fly eh i Where is it l Ah ! 1 Bee." •
He picked it up and roplaced it on his
nose and said
"Sir, I would thank you to mind your
own business ! This is my fly, I 1ought him
for ten cents. Attend to your o n fly and
I will to mine." I
He leaned back for another ria , and after
looking at hint in a bewildered way for half
a minute'the farmer returned to is wife.
" What is it, Samuel ?" she asked.
"Nuthin'-nuthin', 'cept if 1 had that

'Cheerful People.
One is always refreshed' by the presence
of cheerful people. The thought ought to
teach us a salutary lesson, to :be alwaya
cheerful ourselves. The cheery person, who
has a pleasant smile for all, .a geuial word
for every acquaintance, a happy expression
for the world, is the person whom compan-
ionship is sought, whose presence in indispens-
able at a party or dinneuand whose absence
is always noted.
A Satisfactory Proof.
Harper's Bazar. -
In county Sligo,arnong the hille,there is a
small lake renowned in that region for its_
ifabuluous depth. The professor happened
to be in that part of Ireland last summer,
and started out one fine day for a ramble
among the niountains; accompanied by a
native guide. As they climbed, Pat asked
him if he would like to see this lake, at for
it's no bottom at all, son."
" But how do you know. that, Pat ?"
asked the professor. .
"Well, son', I'll tell ye ; zpeewn cousin
was showin' the pond te a gentleman one
day, soar, and he looked incredulous like,
just as you do, and, me eousin couldn't
stand it for him to doubt his worrd, sorr,
and so he std, " Begorra, I'll prove the
truth of my worrds," and o with his
clothes -and in he jumped."
The professor's face wore an flmused and
quizzical expression.
" Yes, sorr, in he jumped, and didn't
come up again at all, at all,"
But," said the professor, "11 don't see
that your cousin Proved his point- by reek-
, lessly drowning hirmielf."1
'
"Sure, sorr, it wasn't drowned at all he
was; the next day comes a cable from him
in Australia, askin to send on his clothes."

Clover of Three Leaves.
The clover of three leaves is, in Ireland,
considered an emblem of the Trinity, from
the tradition that St. Patrick u ed it while
preaching to confute the ar utnent of a
heathen. "How," said the frian, "can
there be three gods in one, frtnd one in
three ?" -St. Patrick stooped and picked
up a shamrock growing at .his feet.
"Here," he said, "are three in one and one
in three." Since that day the shamrock
has been the national plant of the Emerald
Isle.

Hard Work can't Kill.
Don't get the notion that hard work
kills. It doesn't : it can't, Work may
tire but that is all. Then yon must rest.
What good, hard work does is to make
solid men. The healthiest nen in the
world are the men who work hardest. It
gives them appetite for thei meals and
brings refreshing sleep. Wo k all you
like and can, only don't worry and don't
keep late hours. It i in the latter two
points that danger lies ; not int work. -Ed-

A Proper Retort.
A good story is told of a self-respecting
carpenter who was sent to make some re-

the house called out,"Mary i See that my

One Form of Va 'ty.
The sweetest wife and. miter in New
York, said to me the other day: "When
-anyone 1 know is rude and un had to me I
1
am sorry for that person, but 1 10 not take
the act as personal., I attribute it to ill -
health or lack of training, but I never per-
mit myself to think that I can be hurt by
it. When anyone is kind and thoughtful,
however, I take it as a personal compliment,
and mark of special favor. ' I suPpose it is a
very egotistical way of looking at things,
but I get a great deal of hapPiness out of
my vanity. I go through life never feeling
slighted or insulted or wounded, and am
constantly delighted with the g odness and
sweetness which people bestow 4poa inc."
As I listened to the fair lady s words it
seemed to me that such vanity s hers was
a most desirable quality to pos ess, and I
wished there was more of it in t e world.
I knew another woman who made it a
rule early in life to only notice other peo-
ple's faults to avoid contracting them, and
to carefully notice their graces nd virtues
in order to adopt them.-Washi gton Post,
WHY BANNERS ARE RED.
A Socialist Explains the Meaning' or It.-
11mM:table= of Regeneration. '
The editor of justice, London, protests
against the view that the death of many
revolutionafr- les is to be commemorated by
the crimson hue of the emblem of revolu-
tion, for if the Joss of blood gave the
right to raise the red flag, the Protestants
slaughtere by Catholics and the Catho-
lics slaughtered by Protestants Inight
have an eq al right to claim that red is
the proper olor for thehi flags, He then
gives an or ginal and somewhat idealistic
explanatio
"Those who have not yet quite shaken
of% the barbarism of the past may like
to think that our flag is red because of
the -blood the people have shed and are
ready to shed again for the cause. The
more philosophical mind will prefer to
think that our flag is red because red is
the col& of fire, and fire is the great
purifying and regenerating agent of the
universe. • Without heat motion is Im-
possible,vegetable and animal life can-
not eiist, minerals cannot be fined, salts
cannot crystalize, existence cannot be.
By fire all is purified, by heat the world
is regenerated. * * *. Thus the annual
'regeneration of the world is brought
about by the sun by heat, by fire, which
in all time has been represented by the
red that colors our flag. Nor is this, em-
blematic meaning confined to one nation;
it applies equally to the Whole .universe,
toeveryliving creature; therefore red is
the true color for an international flag.
* * * N. R. I.' might as well be in-
scribed on our flag -as on the banners of
the Christian. church. By the ignatant
fanatic 'these letters may be interpreted
as meaning Iesus Namarenus Rex Iudeo-
rum, though Jesus was never King of
the Jews, but we should know that these
letters mean Igne Nature Renovatur
Integra, and when we thus say that
nature is entirely regenerated by fire we
proclaim a trutlewhich none can deny,
and we select as the color of our flag the
color, of fire, because we also intend te
regenerate the world."
Dangers of the Kola Nut.
A prominent physician says lie feels it
a matter of duty to warn _bicyclists and
the public generally against the use of
the kola, nut. This drug was virtually
iinknown two years ago, but by judicious
advertising, in which was emphasized
the wonderful staying power derived by
savages on their long hunts in the forest,
from the kola nut alone, the drug has
become popular, and is now put up in
every conceivable shape, pills, tablets,
still and sparkling wines, and in combin-
ation wtih other drugs, principally quin-
ine and cocoa,. The terrific power of kola
may be understood from the fact that it
contains three times as much caffeine as
coffee. It is this that makes It dangerous.
There are coffee drunkards. The kola
drunkard is just three times as pitiable
an object, and escape for him is just
three times as difficult. Kola, waslaken
up by people who would never enslave
themselves to rum or opium, because it
was announced as a stimulant without
reaction. That is the sheerest nonsense.
There must be rea,ction from the exhilar-
ation of any stimulant. The first effect
of kola is hardly noticeable. The man
who takes it simply feels refreshed, but
after eight or ten hours, the heart's
action is increased enormously. Then,,
later, in the habitual kola drinker or
eater, there is the lassitude, the nervous
weakness and the tremulousness that
ensue from overdrinking. The difference
is that with. kola the reaction conies en
more gradually. The wise bicyclist, who
is wheeling not only for this year, but
for raany years to come, will let kola in
all its forms severely alone. It is in. the
insidiousness of the drug that the danger
lies. It does away with the fatigue that
along bicycle ride brings, and a "pill,"
or a nip at the tiny flask will add greatly
to the pleasure of a day's run. Before
long, the nut comes to be relied upon,
and from that stage the development of
the slaver is easy. The effect of the kola
itself is aggravated by the alcohol whioh
is used in making it into a liquid form.
Many a wheelman, who would net drink
alcohol, does not know that in taking
kola to fortify himself, he is getting
"rum" just the same. The - important
point for the public to bear in euind is
that while kola is in many respects a
most valuable and useful drug, they
=Lust not suppose it is harmless, but
must regard it with the same suspicion,
and use it with the same caution, as they
would opium or morphine.
The Use of Artmsthetics.
The employment of the juice of the
poppy or the mandrake, and of other
narcotics to diminish sensibility is very
old. Herodotus (fifth century B. C.) tells
us that for this purpose, the Scythiam
used the vapor of hemp seed. It is even
maintained by some that the early Greek
physicians produced hypnotic insensibility
before operations. Pliny, who died A. D.
79, says that a decoction of mandragora
(mandrake) is taken before cuttings and
puncturings, lest they should be felt."
Dioscorides, of Cilicia, a physician of the
second century, says in his book on Ma-
teria Medico, that mandragora "causes
insensibility (anaesthesian) in those who
aro to be cut- or cauterised." According '
to a very ancient Chinese manuscript;
the physican, Hon-thow, used to give a
preparation of ,hemp before operations, to
prevent anyy pain being felt. In medical
books of the 11th and 12th centuries, we
read of preparations, the smelling or in-
haling of which caused insensibility in
patients about to be operated upon. The
indiscriminate use of anaesthetics by
quacks made them fall into disrepute,
and their use seems to have almost died
out when Sir Hiunphrey Davy began in
1800 to advocate the use of nitrous oxide
as an anaesthetic. Little notice was
of his suggestions, or of other spnilar
ones for sosne years. However, in
1844,
13r. Wells, and in 1846, Dr. Mortonelloth
American dentists, began the use a ni-
trous oiide and ether in dentistry with
great success: In 1846, the practice began
to spread in England and on the contin-
ent. In 1847, Sir James Simpson, of
Edinburgh, began the use et, chloroform
which rapidly superceded the others.
