Not So Funny. In a Pullman car on an English railway recently, says An exchange, a waggish young Man, noticingen elderly gentleman trying to put on a light dust -coat, went to his as- sistance. While thus engaged, the young man observed a -good-sized whisky -flask pro- truding from one of the old gentleman's pockets, and thought it a good opportunity for a joke.. Having helped the stranger on with his coat, therefore, he pulled out the flash and said : "Will you take a drink ?" The old man did not recognize the bottle, And drawing himself up, remarked rather severely : "No, sir; I never drink." "It Won't hurt you," insisted the wag; " it's the best." "Young man," said the old gentleman, speaking loud enough for all in the carriage to hear, "if you persist in drinking whisky you will be a, rained man at forty. It is the curse of land. When I was a boy my mother died, and the last thing she did was to call me to her bedside, and say: ''John, promise me that you will never touch a drop of liquor." "Oh, well, in that case," said the joker, I must drink itrmyself," whereupon, suit- ing the action to the words, he pulled out the cork and took a good drink. A moment later he dropped the liottle with an exelam- ation which certainly, didn't sound like a blessing, and yelled, " Ugh ! ugh 1 My mouth's all raw !" Then it was that the old gentleman dis- covered his loss, and to the amusement of the other passengers, raid: Ah, young man, you will be careful be- fore you take another man's property again. I am Doctor -, and that bottle contained some quinine and iron for one of my patients."

Henry Ward Beecher used to tell this story of the way in which his teacher of mathematics taught him to depend upon himself. "1 was sent to the blackboard and went, uncertain and full of whimpering. "'That lesson must be learned,' fetid my teacher in a very quiet tone, but with a ter • rible intensity. All explanations and ex- cuses he trod underfoot with utter scornful- neas. I want that problem. I don't want any reason why you haven't it,' he would say. "1 did study two hours.' "That's nothing to me. I want the les- son. You need not study it at all, or, you may study it ten hours, just to suit your- self. I want the lesson. , " It was tough for a green boy, but it seasoned me. In less than a month I had the most intense sense of intellectual inde- pendence and courage to defend my recita- tions. "One day his cold calm voice fell upon me in the midst of a demonstration, • No l' "1 hesitated and then went back to the beginning, and on reaching the sanie point again 'No!' uttered in a tone of conviction, barred my progress. "The next!' and I sat down in red con- fusion. "He, too, was stopped with 'No V but went right on, finished, and as he sat down .was rewarded with Very well.' " W hy,' whimpered I, I recited it just as he did, and you said 'No?' " Why didn't you say ' Yes ' and stick to ib? It is not enough to know your les- son, you must know you'know it.

Plumb' Of the Purdue (Ind.) Experiment station' says : Modern investigation has .showe without question; that milk is a substance which ie easily contaminated, and is not infrequently the medium through which much dreaded diseases are transmitted to humane. Ty- phoid fever, consumption, diphtheria and scarlet fever are all germ diseases, and milk is a substance in which these germs will thrive. The wash water from a house where typhoid exists, may drain through the soil into'the well and contaminate it. This disease affected water, if used to rinse milk paps or cans, or to set cans into cool milk, may be the means of transmitting the die - ease to the milk and thence to the human • subject. All intelligent physicians and dairymen, in consequencb, recognize the ne- cessity of great cleanliness about the cow stable and dairy, having sanitary conditions of a high order.With these features en- forced with healthy cows, wholesome food and proper milk delivery,one should be -able to supply the market with pure milk. The enforcement of, good sanitary conditions about eows supplying city arid town consum- ers of milk is mainly within the control of boards of health. No persons, however, should have a greater interest in this mat- ter than the consumers themselves. If the patrons of pereons supplying consumers with milk, would visit the faints and stables from which their inilk is derived, they would be able to ascertain reesortably well he sanitary conditions are favorable or - to healthy or wholesome milk. Per- s giving milk to young children, certain - should examine into the source of it. If Le were done by more parents, the mortal - each summer among young children would be far less. Every progressive, in- telligent, fair-minded .milk producer will welcome an inspection of his cows, stables and dairy by hi A patrons. The man who does not is not a safe one, to buy milk from. • Good Conduct Hints. Never appear indifferent when others' are talking. Listen poll don't interrupt.

The greatest difficulties in the world have been overcome by perseverence. "There shall he no Alps," said Napoleon; and he built roads right over them, andled his troops into sunny Italy. And so moun- tains of difficuly can be surmounted by in- dustry and peeseverance. History tells -us that there was at the be- ginning of the seventh century a bishop of Seville whose name was Isidore,. When a boy attending schoel he wearied with the drudgery �f learninsa'and, despairing of ever making much progress, one day ran .away. About noon the sun erew very hot, and the tired boy sat down to rest by a little till that gushed over a rock. As he rested be- side the cool waterfall he noticed that the continual dropping of the water had worn a large hole in the hard rock. He began to think that if the little drops of water el:Mid wear away the hard stone, so constantstudy would in time overcome his difficult, in learn- ing. He wet right back to school and be- gan his lessons with a determination to con- quer. By persevenance he succeeded, and became a learned doctor in the church; and now, 1,200 yeara after his death, his books are read by many people. When Paley was a student at Oxford he was lazy and careless, and was seldom at his book. One night a fellow student said to him-" With your abilities, Paley, if you would -only study you would soon rise to the hiehest eminence." Paley took the advice to heait and applied himself to his desk, and he has written books which all young people ought to read. Elihu Burrite the learned blacksmith, worked at the fOrge for some twelve hours every day, yet he man- aged by perseverenee and a good method to master twelve different, languages. When Robert the Bruce was a fugitive lying in a cave he noticed a spider trying to reach the roof of the cavern. Eight, titnes it tried and feiledathe ninth time, nothing undaunted; it tried .a,ud succeeded. Brace took courage, tried once more, rallied his forces and won the battle of Bannockburn. The fiaeit model of Jerusalem the writer ever saw'and which is now in the British Museum, Lon- don, was mede by a common handloom weaver ont of old looms. It took hitn the evenings of thirty years to make it. "How do you intend getting all that snow away ? " said a gentleman to a boy shovelling snow one day in New York. "By keeping at it, that's -how," said the boy. " Stroke by stroke men fell great oaks." There never can be anything great accom- plished without perseverance. Without this Columbus would never have been a dis- coverer, Newton an astronomer, nor Edison an electritan. But for perseverance Milton had never written his great poem, Raphael had never paintedlis immortal pictures nor, • Smeaton erected his lighthouses or built his bridges. All should endeavor to make their lives pure and noble and good, and perse- vere in every good work. "One step at a time, ard that well placed, Will reach toe grandest height, .

Some florists advocate baking the soil before us- ing to kill all inflect germs and weed seeds. As far as my experience ones I do not be- lieve - in it, though I have not tested it thoroughly. It seems as if the beat may take away some of the essential properties of the soil, thus doing harm instead of good. • Hats and Character. Notice how a man wears his headgear,and you can make a pretty shrewd guess as to his character. " It the hat is perfectly straight and nicely adjusted to his headiyou are tafe in believing that he has a corres- ponding straightforwardness of character, If a hat slopes at the back, its wearer has good brain power; tilted habitually forward, it indicates preponderance of the material nature. The oman who places his hat on one side is self assertive, and has Ms vices. Men who wear hats too large for them are of a philosophic turn of mind, and wrapped up in their o.wn thoughts. Men who go to the opposite extreme are mincing., affected individuals with, as a rule, an inordinate love of dress, and any amount of self esteem.' The man who throws his hat on his head anyhow a careless, happy go -lucky, indol- ent character. He generally has his hands in his pockets, and you can see any number of his genus lounging at the street corners. • Best Fruit Trees for Shade. The denizens of towns find the pear one of the moat satisfactory fruit trees for shade. It is deep rooting, and many other things may be suceessfully grown right up to their trunks. Insects trouble them little. They grow rather fast, but it is many years be- fore they get an objectionably large size. The apple makes a spreading heed, and there is soon shade under its branches, And, besides the beauty of its blossoms in eprieg ,makes the tree appreciated fully equal to a mere ornamental one. It is not a very seri- ous robber of the soil. • The cherry makes a desirable shade, but birds make too free with the fruit, and there is the temptation to break branches. The sour or pie cherries are, however, not relished by birds. Europ- ean walnut trees grow rather slowly. It is usually ten years before they produce nuts in any quantity, but after this they are re- garded as treasures with which their owners would not, willingly part. For utility and grateful shade combined few trees can rival them. -Thomas Meehan in the September Ladies' Home Journal. • • Energetic Royalty. Royalties invariablyallow themselves less sleep, and- altogether less repose, than do ordinary mortals. Quden Victoria, who never goes to bed before twelve o'clock, is awakened soon after seven in the morning, and has a cup of cocoa, and scene_ biscuits brought to her at eight,after which she rises i nmediately. During the day shad es not,as any other woman of her age would,seek repose by lying on a sofa. The Prince of Wales is a notoriously bad sleeper -insomnia being the only enemy to his well -being -and the Princess of Wales, although she now allows herself an extra hour in the morning, made it a rule until her children were quite grown up to be up and ready for the day's duties at nine o'clock. Having breakfasted at 8.30, H. R. H. always repaired to the school- room immediately afterwards, when the exercises and "copies" written the previous day by her children were brought for her in?pection. And this although she never retired before two o'clock in the morning- whilst ,at Marlborough House. For the Princess'made it a practice, as so little time was left during the day, to write her letters "home to Denmark " after twelve o'clock at night, on her returns from the great enter- tatinmente during the London season. But at Sandringham, when not entertaining large parties, the Princess actually allows herself a little "beauty sleep, "• and retires at a more reasonable hour. The Emperor and Emprese of Germany are the earliest" risers of all the'EurotTan Sove- reigns but with thein -it is a case of follow- ing oaahe rule of "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wife," for, unlees actually engaged at a Court festivity, they retire to rest assearly as ten o'clock. At five o'clock in the eum- mer and six o'cloek in the winter the Em- peror is up and about, and the Empress riscs only a little later, that she may be ready heiself to prepare her lord and master his first cup of coffee. The children of the Im- perial pair are brought up to follow their parents example in this as in every way. The Erimeror of Austria is aaother monarch who breakfasts with the lark, whilst the Empress adopts much the same hours as does a hoepital nurse only allowing herself a short sleep from eleven o'elock at night antil three in the morning, when she rises, and insistFe on the members of her unfortun- ate suite doing the same, and immediately proceeds for long walks in the mountainous regions, where she usually elects to stay. The King of Italy, again, is a very early riser, and that meet energetic of new women and premier beauty among reigningwomen Sovereigns, the Queen of Portugal, is deeply engaged in medical studies at an hour when the first London milkmaid goes her rounds. Now then • bicycling is as great a mania at the castle aa at the suburban villa, many princesses., both in England and abroad,enjoy a spin before breakfast.; whilst the Grand Duchess of Hesse, daughter of the Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and most intrepid of horsewomen, frequently goes out,for a long ride in the woods surrounding Darmstadt at five o'clock m the morning. -Woman at Hotne. • THE FIGHTING GURKHAS, flomething About the Men Who Win Some of England's Battles.

"1 like the way the French take their amusements," writes Miss Lilian Bell, in a letter from Pada to the February Ladies'. Home Journal. "At the theatre they laugh and applaud the witiof the hero and hiss the villian. They shout their approval of a duel and weep aloud over the death of the aged mother. When they drive in the Bois they smile and have an air of enjoYment quite at variance with the bored expression of Eng- lish and Americans who have enough money to own carriages. We drove in Hyde Park in London the day before we came to Paris, and nearly wept with sympathy for the un- spoken.grief in the faces of the unfortunate nab who were at such pains to enjoy them- selves. I never saw such handsome men as I saw in London. I never saw such beauti- ful women as I see in Paris. French men are insignificant as a, rule, and English women are beefy and dress like rag -bags." • To Boys Looking for a Situation. A Herald correspondent Baked Secretary of the Treasury, Lyman J. Gage, what ad- vice he would give to a young man just grad- uating and wishmg to enter ,practical life. Mr Gage answered, "10 look around him and put his hand to the first honest work that offered, watching for the opportunities of life, but never trying to break open doors." • • That has been Mr. Gage's plan all his life. When he was a boy he worked ine‘a fish,fruit and soda, water store for five dollars a month and continued .there two years. Through- out his young manhood his. plan was the same. He took hold of whatever came to him, and kept at ib till he had -saved a little money to get some more schooling, or un- til a better place was offered to him. As messenger in a country bank at Rome, New York, he wan allowed to go behind the counter and help count the money. That made him an expert in money counting and detecting bad coin and notes. He also clerked in a book -store at leight dollars a month. Again he worked in a sash and door factory and got twelve dollars a week. In two years he saved from his wages $300. With that he went to a business college and studied book-keeping. He was for a while night watchman in a lumber mill for ten dollars a week. In every place he kept his eyes ,open and learn- ed everything he could. While he was night watchman a place in a bank Was offered him at $500 a year. In the banking business he at length seemed to strike his gait. Io was promoted rapidly from one place to another till he be- came a bank president. • -AND OTHER - TESTED - REMEDIES.

One of the curious thing's about Mr. _Glad- stone is the difference which years have pro- duced b4th in his appearance and expression. At all thanes he must have been is handsome man. Bat strangely enough, when he en- tered the House of Commons, in his 22nd year, it iwas the beauty that seemed to Point to pretture death. "His face" says Mr. McCart y, "was pallid, almost bloodless," and thapallor was brought into greater life by the labundant and intensely black hair and the large fiery black eyes that blazed upon the world." Different portraits of Mr. Gladstone form an interesting study. The face that looks out from the portrait of 1832 is thin; the features look sharp; the cheeks have the smoothness and moderate fullness of youth; of the mouth beautifully shaped, fun, and yet not large, the dominant expression is sweetness and trausquility, says Justin McCarthy. In a, later picture one sees the cheeks expanding the chin getting squarer, Ithe brow heavier and the mouth stronger, larger and grimmer. The expression is al- together one of serioueness, strenuousness One grain of knowledge, and that well stored, Another -to these add mote ; And as time rol's oa your mind will shine With a precious, fruitful store Of thought and wisdom, and tine will WI One thing at a time, and that done wAll, Is wisdom's golden rule." REJOICED OVER VICTORY. The Habit of Saving. Now that the good times mre marching upon us, filling the farm and the factory, and making the people cheerful and the country glad, it might be well for all to re- member that the best way to profit by the depression of the last four yams ;is to save something out of the new prosperity for any other poesible season of idleneas and dis- tress. With the vast abundanee that this country has known the habit 'of economy has come slowly. Many haye seen the wis- dom of it, and they are our rich people and the owners of our lands and industries and banks and various profitable properties. But the great majority of people have lived up to their incomes, and when the wages stopped or the salary ceased, grim want stalked. in. And so good men and well bred women had to go to charity to keep from starvation ; had to sacrifice their pride and accept of the public bounty, because in their days of prosperity they had forgotten the future. Saving comes easily when it is once be- gun. Do not spend more than you earn, When Peter Cooper earned a dollar he lived on 50 cents of it, and other successful men will testify how hard the struggle was to save the first money and how easy it was after the habit had been formed. We are going to ha,vo four of the greatest year's the world has ever known, but to one should let that prospect delude him into spending all he gets. There is safety oily in saving. C. McConnell Tells how Dodd's Kidney Pills Cured His ,Kidneys. AYLMER, March 21st -Great and sincere were the rejoicings in Aylmer, when news of the verdict in favor of Dodd's Kidney Pills, et Norwich, was received here. It could not be otherwise. Dodd's Kid- ney Pills have saved so many lives here,that it would be surprising if people didn't be- lieve in them. When the ease of Dodds vs. Kidney Dis- ease, comes up here, G. McConnell will testify for Dodd's. He will give strong evidence. Mr. McConnell suffered for years with diseased kidneys. After using many reme- dies in vain, he was completely and per- manently cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. • A Boy's Strike. "Johnny, hurry up and get ready to go to school,or vou'llbetoolate..." "I ain't going, mother," a Not going? And why not ?" "I've struck." " Struck ! What do you mean by that ?" "Why, did'e pa read in the paper last night about personsstrikin' and said that it was right for the oppressed to strike?" "Blit I hope you don't call your. self oppressed -do you ?" "Of course, I am. If a feller doesn't want te go to school, and his mother makes him go, isn't he op- pressed'?" '50 you haeni struck, have you? " Well, r11 see if I can strike, too.'» And just as soon as Johnny saw his mether reaching for the strap, his firet, strike °erne to an end, for he darted out of the' house, and was down to the school -house in a twink- ling. Use of the Right Hand. As everything has its beginning so there must of necessity have been a time when the right band first asserted its superiority over the left hand as a servant of mankind. Some authorities have deemed the whole difference between the hands an affair of fashion; nevertheless, if right handedness be a -fashion, it is all but universal, and the most ancient fashion known. The history of writing, the evidence of languages, and the drawings and tools, not only of the Egyptians, Assyrians, Greeks and Romans, but of races, the memory of whose existence had passed away ere the earliest histories had been penned, give us evidence that they were right handed. A German authority tells us that the ancieut drawings represent faces in profile looking towards the lefnjust as a street arab would draw them with his • - ssa- TblifyikiTn Iti riiiiki swhif at a-, slight build, with beautifully ohfseitd aM 'hen feature'', Aryans every init.

A New England florist Hays that much of our success with pot plants depends on the soil used, and for that reason I give my way of preparing it, as I think it a good one. When one has a good rich garden, the soil from such a spot is good enough for most plants when first.potted ; later they should' be enrihhed with bone meal, barnyard man- ure or other fertilizers. When such earth is not available one can- follow this plan. Early in spring take pieces of sod, cut as for use in sodding a lawn, and pile them up, grass side down, in a compact heap in some out-of-the-way corner; along with them pack in any vegetable refuse, as weeds,grass clippings and dead leavee. When the sods are nearly all in the pile, leave a space in the center, so that when completed a hollow spot is left, in which t,o pour dish water and other elops from the house. It also gives- a chance for rain to settle into the heap, and the water helps the sods bo rot quickly ; this combined with the heat of the sun, makes the pile mellow. By late fall the heap will be found thoroughly rotted, and , after the dirt has been turned and well mixed the re-' sult will be a fine soil, that with the help of a little manure will be the best potting soil one can find; it will not pack, but is porous and mellow. I sometimes mix in a few, shovelfuls of manure and some unleached wood ashes along with the sods, when piling them, and then all the soil needs in the fall is e thorough mixing. As a general rule, it is the best to sift the soil before using ; this pulverizes it and removes all refuge and hard lumps and any earth worms that may be in it, and leaves it ha good condition for the fine roots to workin. In some of our cities men make a basiness of furnishing potting soil to those who have no other way to procure it. Most of our florists have it for auto; however, in all but large cities The Gurkhas, to whose valor we owe so much on the Indian frontier, are not afraid of death in any Shape or form, have the instinct of instant aid unques- tioning obedience to orders from supe- riors and take an actual and phyeical delight in fighting. It is a popular error to euppose that they are without oasts. There are about 18 different castai among them and several irtbdivisione in eaoh caste, but when serving in British regiments and while on a campaign Gurkhas do .not allow their caste sys- tem to Warfare with their comforts and will eat and drink freely with Europeano and ansonglhemealves. They-heve no objection to taking a pull at a Biit- ieh soldier's Bask and will shire a "chapati" with the mos, menial camp follower. 'They will gladly take a eigar or tobacco from a European, but on no acoountinust a man of One oasts smoke in the company of another.

One wl:i, Itl imagine therefore that in process of time a distinctly new type, coinbi ins the leading oharaoteristios of both z0.., would have been evolved, but as a mat- ter of fact the vast majority of Gurkhas are either Aryan or Chinese in their east of counttnance.
