It is the home training the child receives that makes its future "for better or for worse." The Medical ?ge thus illustrates the difference in home training : A distinguished lady of wealr': and influence, noted for model specimens of children, was asked by a friend aud mother: ""Why are my children sickly and croupy, and yours always free from stioh conditions?" The reply was: "You rear your children indoors, I mine ont ; your's are educated to be waited upon by your servants, I disci pline mine to wait upon themselves ; my children are early to bed, and yon give parties for your's with late hours, and allow them to attend parties and koep late hours from home, fashiona bly dressed ; my children have plain, wholesome food, adapted to their years, your's eat sweetmeats, rich and highly seasoned dishes, and are over fed generally ; I teach mine, to love ns.ture and to feel that there is noth ing arrayed so finely as the lily of the field, the bees, and the butterflies ; that there is nothing so mean as a lie, nor ar y thing so miserable as disobedience ; that it is a disgrace to be sick, and that good health, good teeth, and good temper come from plain food, proper clothing, plenty of sleep, and being good.

NDOUBTEDLY those who knew him best would never have suspected it. A club man, a bon vivant, hero of an endless array of more or less exciting love scrapes, gentleman and all around good fellow -he, Charlie Brown, actually in the meshes of love, frightfully, sentiment ally, desperately in love. And with whom? A girl he con fessed did not care a snap for him Mary Chisholm, rich, cultured, trav eled, cynical and proud. "LooV here, Brown," said Van Tweet, one day, in Brown's room, throwing one leg over the over and looking his friend straight in the eye, "something very serious is the matter. I have quietly studied you for some time and diagnosed your case very carefully. You aro in Jove. Come, now, who is she? Out with it." Brown tried to look surprised, and then flippant. "Tat, tut!" said Van Tweet, "yon can't simulate any beguiling non chalance before me ; you can't deceive Van Tweet. If yon are in trouble over an affair of the heart, mako me your confidant. I haven't a thing in the world to worry about. I haven't even a thing to think about just now. Let me in on the ground floor. Now, theu, it's love, isn't it?" Brown swept his hand over his fore head and stretched himself, like aman who is undergoing a struggle with himself, and then he blurted out : "It's love ! Jnst think of it ! I me-falling in love ! Don't you think trepanning would be good for me?" And he jumped to his feet and towsled his hair like a tragedian. "Sit down, Brown, it's a mighty good thing you relieved yourself of this secret. The fever has mounted from your heart to your brain. A few months more of this suppressing agony and I don't know but trepanning would have proved the only remedy. Sit down, I say. Now, tell me all, and after I am in possession of the facts, as we say in a newspaper ofiicet I'll help you to do some thinking. " It was the same old hypnotic power which he exercised over all men and all women, too, that made Charlie Brown relinquish all resistance to Van Tweet's appeal. "All right," said Brown, after a moment's reflection. "1 trust you with my secret on your promise of silence. I have been, like Tantalus, the posses sor of a ravished heart ever since I met MisaJOhisholm at the beach last season. " "Oh, it's Chisholm, is it?" said Van Tweet, interrupting him. "I don't know what possessed me to fall in love with her," continued Brown; "but she provoked me." "That's right ; the woman is always to blame," put in Van Tweet. "She provoked me by her infernal indifference. There she was, the con scious centre of a lot of follows, all trying to make themselves agreeable, and she only laughed at them-laugh ing at them as a queen might at a roomful of gibbering parrots. She thought she was too good for the lot." "And most likely she was right in her conclusion," said Van Tweet. "What did that concern yon? Did you try to make a parrot of yourself as well?" .Try?" eohoed Brown. "Try? Great Scott, I was the worst of them all." "You crouched at her feet and tt?anged your lyre like the rest-you, Brown?" Van Tweet was evidently surprised. "Ob, not like the rest,"said Brown. "Catch me bearing any woman's train. No, I did worse, as I am about to tell you. First, I studiously avoided her. Sae must have noticed it, and before long she seemed not to see me at all. I knew what that meant. She was go ing to punish me by pretending that there was no such person as Charlie Brown on this terrestrial plane. "So 1 laid myself out to be as coldly scornful as she. You ought to have seen us. And so things went on, un til we were all in the surf together, a:ad it fell to my happy lot to rescue Miss Chisholm from drowning. "It was a more serious matter than I had reasoned. Expert swimmer as she is, she completely lost her senses and she folded her arms around my neok as impulsively as if we had been old acquaintances. All this occurred under water, or I shouldn't have minded it half as much. "Anyhow, I rescued ber, together with about a ton of salt water, which made me sick for a week, and after that we were worse enemies than 67er. "I say we," continued Brown, "but that is a little too sweeping. By what process I know not, but from the mo ment I held her in my arms and dragged her limp and dripping to where her mother and brother could lay hands on her, I felt-felt-" "You're sure she hates you?" "Oh, I have no doubt of it," said Brown. "I called, and that call com pleted ' my downfall. I have never had the same respect for myself since." "And you think she hates you?" "By jove, I tell you she is getting even with me for being the instru ment of fate to rescue her from the waves. That girl would a thousand times rather have died than owe her life to my efforts." Van Tweet thought for the briefest cr moments, and then looked up like a physician who has reached a con clusion at his patient's bedside. "Brown," he said, "you are either a fool or else you ere perversely en tertaining-I will not even say be guiling-your heart with an interest icg illusion. You know that the girl lovts you, or elsa you are BO blind that it would be charitable to hold yon non compos mentis. Now, don't try to bewilder my judgment with a mass of pretty fancies conjured up just be cause the girl has too much good sense to fling herself into y our arms the first time" you knock at her door. Your confounded pride does not allow you to see that she is just as proud as you are ; but the right is all on her side, and you are acting the part of a very stupid ass, if you will pardon my plainness, for not stripping off this unbecoming dignity at once and going to her very humbly with a plea for pardon-" Pardon?" exolaimcd Brown. "I ask pardon-I?" Van Tweet's eyes began to flash angrily. "See, here, old man," ho said, "this girl is far too good for you, and you know it. Do you stand there and tell me that you love her, love her to distraction, to rashness for you do-and yet hold her too oheaply to humiliate yourself by ask ing her-what?-whether ?he loves you?" But Brown insisted that he knew what he knew, smote the side of his chair with his Sst, and declared that nothing could alter his view?. She hated him, and was only waiting for him to humble himself, like the rest of her suitors, so that she could give him his quietus, and pay him off for having saved her life. The next morning Miss Chisholm received the following letter by mail : "My Dear Miss Chisholm-Will you pardon mo if I avail myself so lato of a long standing invitation to call, and may I hope to lind you at home this eveniDg? Cordially yours, "P. B. VAN TWEET." Van Tweet found Miss Chisholm both cordial and radiant. They talked about the latest book of short stories. They they switched off to discuss operas and tho visit of a Parisian star, and then Van Tweet brought Brown on the tapis. "You know Charlie Brown, of course?" he began. "Oh, very well. He favors mo oc casionally with a formal call," she said. "Well, you ought co know him bet ter," said Van Tweet in his peculiar, matter of fact way ; ' 'he is really a re markable character. Of course you read in to-day's Beagle how he acquit ted himself in that row last night?" "Arow-Mr. Brown?" asked Miss Chisholm, with a manifestation of mild surprise. "Is Mr. Brown in the habit of engaging in rows?" Van Teet produced a copy of the Beagle and read : "Shortly past eleven o'clock last night Mr. Charles W. Browo, the well known clubman was going home. Ho heard a woman's voice calling for help near the corner of Waldon street and Verona avenue, which is rather dark at that hour. Punning in the direc tion of tho cries ho saw three ruffians bending over the postrate body of an old man, and a young lady a short dis tance away screaming for assistance. "Mr. Brown ran to the assistance of tho postrate man, dealing the firpt ruf fian a blow that sent him sprawling in to the gutter, and giving the second a love tap on the angle of the jaw that made him forget the day of the week. The third man clinohed, but in a trice Mr. Brown had thrown the fellow over his head and was complete master of the situation. As soon as the assail ants could gather themselves together they fled, leaving Mr. Brown in undis puted possession of the field. "The facts developed by a reporter of the Beagle show that Mr. R. X. Walter, the well known wholesale gro cer, had attended one of the theatres w: th his daughter, and had left the cable car about three blooks from his residence. Turning the corner of Wal don street he was suddenly 6et upon ar.d knocked down by oue of the three assailants, who had evidently planned to rob him. "Mr. Brown, in the struggle with the last ot the three men, was wounded by a knifo thrust. Ho was able to walk home, but bled profusely, and is nnder the care of a surgoon. At the time of going to press no interview could bo obtained with Mr. Brown, aud the physician declines to state whether his injuries are serious." Miss Chisholm had listened to the account with a pale face and trembling lips, and when Van Tweet folded up the paper and tossed it carelessly on the table, he saw her eyes filled with tears and her hands clasped. "Oh, tho poor fellow!" she ex claimed, in a sympathetic tone ol voice. After all, thought Van Tweet, she feels only a broad sympathy that would be extended to any other man, no matter how obscure. She doesn't love him. That night Brown was much im proved, and Van Tweet wa3 admitted to his room. MiDgliug with the odor of iodoform and carbolic acid Van Tweet's olfaotories were able to distin guish the scent of roses that came from an enormous bouquet on a small table near tho invalid's bedside. Brown himself was in bright spirits. He held out his hand with a happy smile. "Phlebotomy seems to havo done you some good. I haven't seen yon in such a lively state of mind since yon fell in love with Miss Chisholm, " said Van Tweet, slyly. "Yes," said Brown, with a smile, .'the operation on my heart ha? done me much good in that connection." "You'll get over your wound, the same as you'll get over your love for Miss Chisholm," gravely remarked Van Tweet. "When a man of sense comes to the conclusion that a woman doesn't love him the recovery is rapid." "Yes," said Brown, with a concealed smile of supreme happiness. "She isn't worthy of you." "You thought sho was too good for me," said Brown, in a tone of resent ment. "So I did," said Van Tweet, "but then Pve sounded her and found she doesn't love you. On the whole, you'd better give her up and let me try ray luck. I've taken rather a fancy to her myself, and I think I'm not altogether indifferent to her." "Do, if you want to be laughed afc, like the rest of the fellows," replied Brown. Ho pointed to the flowers. "Aren't they refieshing?" he asked. "Very beautiful," said Van Tweet, hardly noticing them. "From your landlady, I suppose?" "No!" saidBrown, "from Mist Chis holm." "Get out !"he exclaimed. "Tho ago of miracles is over." "Van," said Brown, "if this infer nal wound doesn't put me hors de com bat I'll marry Miss Chisholm in six months. Just read this :" "My Own-I havo learned of your injury, and ray heart is pressed with nameless agony lest something serious should ensue. It has prompted mo to a quick decision, a decision I could have given you many months ogo if you had but spoken. For my sake got well, my hero and deliverer I I shall await with trembling and fear news from your bedside, news that you are ont of danger, and shall pray for you night and day." Yan Tweet glanced at the Signatare and folded np the letter withoat a trace of emotion. "Woman," he said, solemnly, "thy name is mystery. How did it happen?" Brown smiled as he had not smiled in months. "I had left her house bat a few moments before the scrimmage occurred in Waldon street," he began. "I called to be very formal. Some how your words kept ding-donging through my head. I said to myself to be a moral coward and tremble be cause a woman may turn you down is almost as bad as to run when your manhood is assaulted. It was a hard fight, but I made it. And-" "She accepted you?" asked Van Tweet. "No; she was not to be had so cheaply ; but I left her with a strong impression that I had won a victory. I left her with her decision in abey ance. The letter tells the rest." Van Tweet congratulated Brown, but there was a cloud on his brow as he took his departure. "1 thought I knew something about human nature," he muttered, "but whee, it comes to telling what a woman means I'm still in cay swaddling clothes." Isn't that the way tho world wags? -Washington Post. Letters Cost a Dollar Apiece. A well known patent attorney in this city, who was in California in the early mining days, apropos the publi cation in the Post of the cost of carry ing the mails on the Yukon, makes some interesting statements about simitar sorvico on the Pacific coast in 1819-50. "We had to pay $1 for every letter sent or received," he states, "besides the Government postage. We were in tho mines, and had to send a mes senger with an order for the postmas ter to deliver to him our mail at Sacra mento, a distance of from seventy-five to ICO miles, according to the location of the camps. {Parties made a business of carrying tho mail and had regular routes. around through the mining camps. . "At that time mail went by way of the isthmus, there being but one steamer every three weeks. As a re sult, at San Fruncisco and ot Sacra mento, the two main offices and supply points for the State, there would be a large crowd waiting every time a mail arrived. They finally adopted a rule among themselves requiring all to form in line and take their turn, and hundreds stood or laid in line day and night to keep their places, sometimes several days, before they coald be served, tho line being formed days be fore the steamer arrived. Resident speculators would take positions in the line, and when they had advanced near the door would sell their places to others from tho mines, who were waiting, frequently getting from $100 to ,$300. "Such a thing can hardly be be lieved by those who have never had any such experience ; but in the fall of 1849 an ox-team driver got $10 per doy and board, Sundays being counted the same as other days, while carpen ters got from au ounce ($16) to an ounce and a half per day, everything else costing in proportion ; and hence the mail carriers lor the mines could better afford to pay for the position in line than to wait on expense and lose the time, they sometimes being kept^waiting for a week before they oould get ali their mail for the^soYeral oamps. "One of the curious sights was the solo of the New Yo~k popers. As soon as the stoomer arrived a man or boy with a lot of papers would rush ashore, mount a box, and just 03 fast as he could hand out the papers and make change, dispose of them for a dollar apiece. Of courso in time all this changed, but communication with the Staten was then so slow and the time required so great, that to as, isolated as we were from home and friends and the whole outsido world, it seemed ol most^an eternity."-Washington Post. Tons ol Flour Gold. Another remarkable story of a gold on lake has come from Alaska, together with an ingenious scheme by whiohit is proposed to get hold of tho treasure. '.Che claim consists of 158 acres about eight miles from Sitka, and is called "Pande's Basin Placer Claim." With in the limits of the claim is a lake, :.000 yards long, 400 yar ls wide and :.50 feet deep. The lake is fed by water from a glacier, the constant ac tion of which for centuries has brought down from the mounsains above large deposits of "flour" gold, and this has all, of necessity, been held within tho boundaries of the little body of water. The action of the glacier, the deepness of tho lake and the shallowness of ithe outlet, is the combination which is said to have covered the bottom of tho lake with millions of dollars in flour gold. Assays oi tho sand from the shor es of the lak j, made by assayers of tho Tacoma Smelting Company, show, so it is claimed, that it will produce tho astonishing result of $30 a cubic yard, while quartz from the ledges all around tho lake assay as high os $38 to the ton. Tho statement that half a cent a cubic yard will allow a man to make $10,000 a year will partly illus trate the enormous size of this find. What is proposed, and will proba bly bo done, is to tap the rock wall of the lake on tho lower side, so that tho water can be almost entirely drained out. Then will be left a field of flour gold. _ _ Kito Navigation. A novel means of aerial navigation by means of kites is suggested by Lieutenant B. Baden-Powell. He points out as greater height above the oarth's surface is reached the force of the wind nearly always increases. At one thousand yards its velocity is often threo times that near the surface. Tho Lieutenant proposes to take advantage of this difforenco by sending one kite to the upper-atmosphere, and keeping another nearer; tho ground. TheBO two kites would be connected by o long line, and the weight to be car ried woull be attached to the lino at o point nearer to the lower kite than to the higher. Tho lower kite would thus act as o brake or an anchor, and the effect would be the same in pinoi ple as if the movement of the upper kite were retarded by a string and\tbe lower kite were towed through the air by a boy running with the string in his hand.-Atlanta Constitution.

Speed ol Railroads. I see no reason why we might not expect to double the speed ol steam driven railroad trains, dcolares Hiram Maxim. Ordinary electric trains should travel at the rate of ninety to 100 miles an hour, and express trains at, say 120 ; but in order to dc this it would be necessary to so construct the carriages as to enable them to pass through tho air witbdut auy great re sistance. The train should be pointed at both ends, and have the appearance of being all in one piece ; even the wheels and axletrees would have to bs boxed in. I find in my experiments .that atmospheric skin friction on a smooth surface is so small that it need not be considered as a factor at all, but the power required to drive a rough or irregular body through tho .air is very great. Electricity could, of course, be ad vantageously employed on existing roads, but if special roads wero to bo constructed a comparatively cheap Hue could be employed, and as the elec- j trio train would bo vastly lighter than the steam train, extensive grading and j tunneling would not bo necessary. The line might follow, approximately, the contour of the country. In the steam-driven train great power is required to enable it to mount even a slight gradient, and all this en ergy is wasted in heat and friction on the brakes in descending the next grade. The extra amount of energy consumed by an electrically driven train in mounting a gradient could again be utilized in descending tho next gradient, because the descending train, moving at ft high velocity, in stead of having its speed checked by the use of breaks, could turn a switca in such a direction as to convert tho motors themselves into generators, which would actually send a current into the line which would be available for the use of other trains. The stor ing of energy developed by a descend ing train has always been a desider atum ; it is quite impracticable to use it with steam-driven trains, while it is a simple matter in trains driven by cable or by electricity.-Cassier'a Magazine. ^^^^^^^^ Kcmcdy lor Nosebleed. Dr. T. A. Hall writes as fellows: I : read an account in the Petersburg In dex-Appeal of the death of a young : man, a student at the University | School (McCabe's) from epistaxis, who had eminent medical attention, but death ensued in spite of all that was done. I write only to say that during a ' practico of fifty-one years I have had much experience in such troubles where death seemed imminent, and all the u?ual remedies failed to give re lief, until a very ignorant person told me on one distressing occasion of a whole night that if I would get some "devil's snuff," a species of mush room-fungus. Myces(F.)-it would give relief. I did so within an hour after tho information, and tho effect j was wonderful. Tho powder was | snuffed up the nostrils and the bleed ing ceased as soon as contact was made with the point of bleeding. I have used it repeatedly, aud iiavo never been disappointed. The piont comes on thin soils by the roadside and in tho vicinity of decaying oak stumps, growing Hat on the surface of tho ground, sometimes in patches of a dozen in a small space about the size of a walnut. In tho fall it begins to dry, and when dry, you may tread upon it and a profuse cloud of dark brown snuff is puffed up from the top of tho tungus. I have known of this plant all my life, but never thought to write about it till I read about the death of the ? foung man alluded to above.

Some of these stone trees are standing just as natural as life, while others are piled ucross each other just like the fallen monarchs of a real wood forest. Geologists say that these stone treen were once covered to a depth of 1,000 feet with marl, which transformed them from wood to solid rock. The marl, after the lapse of ages, washed out, leaving 6omo of the trees stand ing in an upright position. The ma jority of them, however, are piled helter-skelter in all directions, thous j ands of cords being sometimes piled up in an acre of ground.-Cincinnati , Commercial Gazette. About Population.

A BOY WHOSE LOOKS WEBE DECEP . TIVE. The Case of George Thompson a Prrange One-Even Physicians Were Posited -A Trae Story That Kenda Like. Fiction. From the Gazette, Davien, Ga. A Gazelle reporter having heard that Mr. George 0. Thomp30D, who Uvea about six teen miles from Darien, had been greatly benefited by tho use of Dr. Williams' Tink Tills, called upon him last week to learn tho part icu Hrs of his euro. Mr. Thompson ls a young "man of about twenty-one. Ho greeted the repoiter cor dially, nnrl spoke freely about bis case. "You wouldn't think that I had been 111 for eighteen years, would you?" asked he, and tho reporter, after noticing his strong, healthy frame, the ruddy hue of his ohooks and generally stalwart appearance, was forced to udmit that no ono would think so. "Well, I'll tell you," said Mr. Thompson, "from the time of my birth until three years ago, I novor saw a well day. My parents spent os much as their limited means could afford to restore my health, but with no Avail. I never grew very much, and when I was eighteen I looked like a boy of twelve. I had no energy, no strength. It was a hard task for me to move about. I was thin and pHle-ghastly in fact. I suffered greaily from headaches, and WHS rarely free from them. I had no appetite and never enjoyed my food. "You may woll imagino that in the faee of all this lire was a burdon to mo. Many a timo I thought I'd be better dead and wished that I might be taken. Doctors seemed to do me no good. They said my case was ono of 'arrested development.' and prescribed tonics, but their medicine had no effect upon rae. I grew weaker and weaker. At last? three years ago, I began to ta?e Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. From the first box I took I be gan to improve. I have taken slr ce then about two dozen boxes of the pills, with the result that you see. My appetite is excellent, I am very much stronger than I was, ana novor have headache any more. In tho past three years I have grown more than I did in the first eighteen years of my life put to gether, and J fully believe I owo my cure to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1 owo them a debt lean never repay." Mr. Thompson then Introduced the re porter to his parents, who are both strong and healthy looking. Thoy fully boro out the young man's statement in every particu lar.

Machinery, a monthly journal, pub lished at Johannesberg, South Africa, gives an account of a most remarkable clock belonging to a Hindu prince, which tho editor thinks the strangest piece of machinery in India. Near tho dial of an ordinary looking clock ii a large gong hung on poles, while uuderneath, scattered on the ground, is a pile of artificial human skulls, ribs, legs and arms, the whole number of bones in the pile being equal to the number of bones in twelve human skeletons. "When tho hands of the clock indicate the hour of 1, the num ber of bones needed to form a com plete human skeleton come together with a snap, by eome electrical con trivance the skeleton springs np, seizes a mallet, and walking up to the gong, strikes one blow. This finished, it returns to the pile and again falls to pieces. Wh*.a 2 o'clock, two skeletons get np, and strike, while at the hours of noon and midnight the eutiro heap springs up in the shape of twelve skel etons, and strike, each on-3 after the other, a blow on the gong, and then falls to pieces, as before. Gladness Comes With a netter understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills which vanish before proper ef forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in thc knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to p, constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Ficrs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value gcod health. Its beneficial effects aro duo to the fact, that it is the ono remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which i t acts, lt is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have thc genuine article, which is manufactured by thc California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by ali rep utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa tives or other remedies aro not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. otton. - With careful rotation ol crops and liberal fertilizations, cotton lands will improve.
