Gaieties. —Art Patron—" I shoulddike to buy that picture. What is it supposed to represent?" Artist—" Luther burning the bull." A. P.—" Well, I see Lutter and the burning, but where's your era ?" —An engineer says the old saw about the last straw that breaks the canael:s baek " is an absurdity, for an _animal's legs always give way long before its 'back and a camel lies down when over- loaded. n company the other evening ilen- rietta heard some one across the room quote the familiar phrase: " Man pro- poses," and turning to a sister wall- flower she remarked that she was tired of hearing those old sayings that didn't have a single word of truth in then —Wife—John, dear, I notice that your brother James never makes a friend- ly call upon _sus unless he is intoxicated. Baia And—No, My dear, he doesn't. Jam s reminds me of the moon. Wife— Reminds you of the moon? Husband —Yes, dear ; he nevet gets round till he's full. —A fast youth asked at a city restau- rant; What have you got ?" "Almost everythbag," was the reply. "" Almost everything? Well, give me a piece of that." -"Certainly. Hash!" screamed the waiter. —" So - the missis is to be Married, ell?' said the gardener to the cook. "ITis; and in illigant stoyle, too. She's goinfor to- have a dhress thray yarruds ' lona, and four pail -hearers ter kerry it." —"Why, Fra,nky," exclaimed a moth- er at the summer board -ilia -house, I never knew you to ask for a second piece of pie at home.", "1 knew 'twa'n't no use," said FrankY, as he proceeded with his pie -eating. —Things look dim to old folks; they need to have some young eyes about 'em to let 'ern know the world the -same as it -used to be. --As I like to see a young man who has something old about him, so I like to see an old man in -whom there remains something of the youth. There is the common sense love; the kind that, when its lavished affections are not reciprocated, apparently, throws up the claim. and makes love to the younger sister. —During courtship a man pays at- tention to his lady -love; after marriage he has all he can do to pay the bills, and the attention business falls into *what the President said in his special message to the Senate. —A model wife.--" She never wasted a solitary thing. Let a cat die near our ho se, and the first thing you knew Mary Jane wou-Icl have a set of furs, and ld begin to find mince pies on the din- ner table. —Little Nell—" Why, mamma, the y is just as blue to -day as it was ves- rday,;" Mamma—"Well,m-by shouldn't he, •pet?" It rained last night." What of that ?" "You said blue tildn't wash." —She didn't mean it, but he took it as a hint. It was getting very late, and stuldenly the gas brightened up very much* " Why, what caused that ?" he asked. " Everybody in the neighbor- hood is going to bed, she answered. • —At, a " hop " at a summer resort some of the natives had been in. A young lady being solicited for a round dance by a son of the soil, and noticing tl at he was about to grasp her waist with a perspiring palm, she asked if he would not kindly use his handkerchief. Oh, yes, mann !" said H.ayseed pleas- antly ; and, applying the article to his nose, he sounded a cheerful blast that shook the chandelier. —A popular minister was asked how it was possible for him to preach a new -sermon every Sunday, year after year and to find something new to say. Doesn't it give you a good deal of thought and trouble ?" "Oh, no," was the reply; "it is a mere matter of habit. My sermons have never kept me awake flve minutes.". " Ah !" said the other, that, theta -is the reason why they don't -eep other people awake, either." sk te it The Wooden Toothpick The toothpick, in its various forms, las becenie one of the adjuncts of civil- zation. It seems like an insignificant thing of little value; but the importanee of litae things is finely portrayed by the facts, which a wooden toothpick manu- facturer has given to a "Tribune " rea` porter : " We began to make wooden toothpicks fifteen years ago, and while. another company now shares the w hole - sale trade, we were the sole manufact- urers of the article for ten a -ears. We have a white -wood pick made of poplar, and a hardOod kind made of birch. The picks are all made in Maine, the lumber of that state supplying the ma- terial. Smaetimea we flavor pieks, say with cinnamon or wintergreen. What. does the trade amonet to in wooden picks? Well, I should say about 12,000 Cases a year, 1,000 of which are exported to Europe and Mexico. A case contains 100 boxes, and each box has 2,500 picks. ss'o, you see, there's 'billions init.' Has the business increased much? About twenty-five per cent. in the last three years. Orange -wood picks, imported, are to be found in some clubs, and also a flavored pick from Japan. Quills, are wholly imported. Russia and Sweden furnish the material, and those countries. with France and Germany, also manu- facture the article as w e get it. The work is done altogether by hand. Peasant folk, after their daily work is done, sit down with a sharp knife and add to their pin -money ' by cutting these quills. This adds to their value here, of course. Perhaps some inventive American will construct a machine some day that will turfethem out rapidly and make them as popular as the wooden picks now seem to he." Half a Million for a Pair. of Boots. A southern paper gives an amusing illustration of the value of Confederate money in war times: In the last few weeks of the war a Confederate, serving under 'Lee, wrote home to his father that he was almost bare-footed, and completely discouraged.. As soon as the old man received the letter he mounted his mule and set off at a gallop, but was soon halted by an acquaintance, who called out; " Hello ! Has there been another fight ? " "Not as I've heard of; but I've,got a . letter from Cyrus." "What does Cyrus say?" He's out o' butes, and clean discaur- - aged." " And -where ye going? "- " Down to Abner Smith's to borry $700,000 to send to Cyrus. to get a cheap pair of shoes, and we're going to write him a long, long letter, and send him a box of pills, and tell him to hang on to - the last; for if Cyrus gets low spirited' and begins to let go, the. infernal Yanks will be riding over us afore we kin back a mule outer the barn." ‘' " That's so—that's so !" nodded the other. "1 kin let you have the money myself, as well as not. I was' sai=mg up to buy three plugs o' tobacker and a box o' matches all to once, but the army musn't go barefut when it only takes $700,000 to $800,000 to buy a purty good pair o' shoes." The Girl at the Front Gate. Heaven bless the girl at the front gate with peach -bloom on her cheeks and love -light in her eyes. Some men. would shut her out of our literature, but I ath not one of them. The girl at the "front gate CA11 never grow old to those who' have been there with her. Years may come and go, but the music of- the low voice at the front gate will not be stilled, and the memory of the cherry lips, we kissed at the front gate will hold out faithful to the end. What if the old gate does sag and its hinges rattle, and its latch refuse to hold it shat? What if the posts are shaky and some of its pickets gone? We love the dear old relic still. We love it for the sake of the girl who used- to stand 9ut there by it with roses on her cheeks and nectar on her lips. We held the old gate up ankcounted the stars,said good-bye and then counted the stars again. How many times of a night was good-bye said ? How many times did lips meet over the dear old gate? The old gate knows,but it will never tell. - The old front gate may have counted the kisses but I never did. And I am sure - _that the girl with the peach -bloom cheeks never did. And what of the girl with the peach - bloom cheeks? Alame ! She married an- other. She forgot her vows at the old front gate, as some girls will,and married, a richer and handsomer man. And I? Well, I went off to another front gate where there were other peach-bloorn cheeks and other lips as sweet, and just as many stars -to count. And now' I have a front gate of my own, and a girl of my own with peach - bloom cheeks, who counts the stars with the boy of the girl whose vows made with me at the front gate were broken. But he, is a true, good boy, and my girl is a good, true girl, and heaven bless them both as they stand to -night at the old front gate.—Robert J. Bur- dette. is not a trifling matter. Many a1 man and woman can trace pneumonia, thou- matism and other ills to the day when, heated by ironing, cooking, cutting. wood, raking in the hay -field or hoeing in the garden, they "cooled off too soon," and made themselves sufferers for months or years. Chilling the stomach with iced drink is only another may of taking cold. Somebody has said, "Hold your hand for five minutes in a basin of ice water, and then tell me what yOu think of pouring that chilling liquid into your stomach, so much more sensitive than your hand." The ice pitcher is said to be the bane of American life. There is no doubt the improper use of it has hurried many a man and woman into the grave. But must we wear all day the cloth- ing necessary to keep us warm night and morning, or must we change two or three, times a day as thq, temperature changes No, we need do neither, for one may carry in his pocket all that is necessary as a rule to protect him against colds. You dress in the morning for the day. As the mercury climbs up the glass tube and as you become heated with your work, you drop perhaps a gar- ment, but fifteen minutes later you are sitting on the porch to shell peas for dinner, or after supper the wind blows up while•the family are enjoying them- selves on the piazza. Take from your pocket your silk or woollen wristlets, slip them on and in many cases you will immediately be comfortable. Any one who knows that to cool off we have only to let water run over our wrists, will at once perceive that warming the blood at that delicate point, the pulse will carry a warm current through the whole body. Colds in the Summer. At the risk of shocking many highly respectable people,—we venture to call attention to the danger of taking cold during the summer months, a danger that is only less great than in winter be- cause we_usually breathe purer air in the summer than in the winter. We do not, however, generally recognize sum- mer colds as such, becaude they do not operate like the colds of winter. It is none the less a 'fact that many people become enfeebled during the summer, and when cold weather sets in cut off their supply of oxygen, simmer over a coal stove or it furnace register, and die before another spring comes round. Our nights and mornings are usually cool and the heat the greatest at midday, yet too few people change their own clothingor their children's to meet the exactions' of the climate. To suffer from chills in the morning. to swelter at noon and to shiver again in the night damps some people seem to regard their des- tiny. Half the cases of bowel trouble, the languor and the " run-down " feeling of humanity arise from a lack of proper clothing. A draught on a heated per- son in summer is far more likely to pro- duce a chill than the cold, clear air of a tingling January -day. Abram Garfield, the father of the dead President, knew better than to sis in a breeze when heat- ed from fighting tire; yet he did it, trusting in his good health, and in three days his wife and four children stood by his coffin. It is the disagreeable, cold feeling that one experiences from damp cotton underclothing that leads many workingmen to wear flannel the year round, and has induced women to give up cotton undergarments for gauze under- wear, that seems to be either warm or cool as occasion requires. Perhaps, owing to its open texture, perspirations pass through it, leaving it dry, or pos- sibly its porousness saves the wearer from the perspiratioe that cotton in- duces. The gauze underwear is so cheap that if one's time speet in making under- garments be worth anything, it is much to be preferred to garments made from cotton cloth on the score of economy, while the washing of the gauze vests is almost nothing. There are many women and girls ni,ho should wear the long- sleeved vests all summer, for there is no protection to the person like the protec- 'tion to the limbs, and thus clothed they will not so readily feel the sudden changes of heat and cold. Still a draught \How a Little Miss made Her Father's Fortune. In a Fourth Avenue horse car going up town One day, a plainly dressed woman was riding, accompanied by a bright-eyed child just old enough to ask a good many questions. The pert young miss of three or four years was intent on being on familiar terms with everybody within reach, and one of the passengers was Mr. Vanderbilt. He had a small package in his -hands and the child in- sisted on relieving him of it. The mother, though wholly unaware- of her iieatmate's identity, did her utmost to protect him from the young mischief - maker's depredations; but her efforts were futile. And Mr. Vanderbilt, as ithe car rolled on, seemed really to have got to enjoying the wee bit of a thing's flirtations. She went through his over- coat lockets, clambered over his knees, and couldn't have been a whit more familiar had she been of the house of Vanderbilt itself. At the thirty-second street stables there was a change of con- ductors and a bearded young fellow came upon- the rear platform, rang the signal bell and started the car onward through the tunnel. " Papa ! papa !" shouted the little one excitedly, and ran off from the knee of the millionaire owner of the railroad,she clambered to hold out her arms' toward that bearded young fellow, the new con- ductor. The conductor recognized his distinguished passenger and haturally he was amazed—his own child in the mag- nate's arms. He hastened to correct things, and, with what was perhaps not an unnatural earnestness, apologized for the baby rudeness. "Tut ! tut !" interrupted Mr. Vander- bilt. "I've enjoyed my ricit with her Young man, I wish she were my own. She must be taken good care of. And then, as the car turned out of the tunnel to the Grand Central station, he patted the little one affectionately upon the head and said good-bye. Within a month that street car conductor was holding a responsible position upon one of the big Vanderbilt railroads a post that he holds to this day. That very night Mr. Vanderbilt had the young man's antecedents looked up, and, find- ing his record clean, and assured that he was a man of energy and capacity, he made a place for him at once.—Halston in N. Y. Times. Trust and Work. Do your Work, but do it in -.quietness and confidence ; do your duty, but do it without this.corroding anxiety; and he who even in the desert spreads his table for the birds, who clothes the flowers in their embroideries of beauty, will feed and cloth you. That trust which, un- consciously, God's humbler creatures show, that do ye show reflectingly and. consciously. Trust in God for those lower things, because he gives, and will give, and has given to you, higher things than these. Do not degrade and drag down your life in the mire by the spirit of mean, selfish, grudging, untrusting accumulations. If you seek first the kingdom of God, all these other things, or things transcendently better than these; shall be added unto you. There is nothing wrong in your trade or your merchandise, and your daily work to earli your own living; that is altogether right; so far from being a rival business to these, the seeking of the kingdom of heaven is a divine law which should regulate, a divine tetnper which should pervade and transfigure them. Only for the sake of -your own souls, for the sake of all that makes .life worth living, for the sake alike of your temporal and eter- nal happiness, do not seek the dross of earth more, and love it better, than the gold of heaven. Let conscience and faith enter into every necessary act of. your daily life. Learn to discriminate the transcendent. Learn to feel habitu- ally that the life, the true life, the spiri— tual, life, is more than food, and the body than raimeet. Let justice, goodness, kindness, purity, be your aim ; not the brutal appetences of sensual desire. Do not, let your daily necessities blunt the edge of your ideal aspirations; do not sink into grovelling appetites or money- making machines.

Laurence's Axis Cut Pebbles. The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers and pedlars giving assumed and fancy names to ordinary glass, speaks for the ignorance of the public generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two articles from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any other name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stone, cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately Over the centre of the grain found in all pebble. It will give to the spectacle wearer a coolness, freshness and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart. All Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped B. L.
