A Toast, to GeuWosieiK
_
Mrs. Duniwny, at a literary re
union at Salem, Oregon, toasted
"Tho Gentlemen" as follows : "BleBS
'em I They have our joys, they dou
ble our sorrows, they treble our ox*
penses, they quadruple our cuves,
they oxoite our magnanimity, thoy
increase our self-respect, awaken our
enthusiasm, arouse our affcotions,
control our proporty, and out
manouvre us in everything. This
would be a dreary world without
them? in fact, I may say, without
prospect of puccossful contradiction,
that without them this wouldn't bo
much of a world anyhow. Wo love
them, and the dear Doings can't holp
it; wc control thom, and tho precious
fellows don't know it.
"As husbands thoy aro convenient,
though not always on hand; ns beaux
they aro by no means 'matchless.'
They aro most ngreoablo as visitors,
handy nt State fairs, indispensable at
oyster saloons. Thoy aro splendid
ns escorts for some othor follow's
wifo or sister, and a? friends they
aro bettor than women. As our fa
thers they aro inexpressibly grand.
A man may bo a failure in business,
a wreck in constitution, not enough
to boast of ns a beauty, nothing ns a
wit, less than nothing as a legislator
for womon's rights, and not very
brilliant as a memboi of tho press,
but if ho is our own fathor wc over
look his shortcomings, and cover his
piceadiloes with tho divino mantlo
of charity. Then, as our husbands,
how wo love to parado thom as para
gons ! In the sublime language of
tho poet :
".We'll lio for'om,
We'll cry for 'cm,
And if wo could, we'd Hy for 'om
We'd anything but dio for 'cm.' "
A Washington banker says : "Take
a greenback, a silver certificate, a
gold certificate or a national bank
note to your bank and it is received
and placed to your credit without a
moment's delay. Not s>x with gold.
A few days ago a gentleman brought
to our bank upwards of #?1,000 in
gold of different denominations, and
was much provoked because wc would
not receive it forthwith and give
him credit for the amount tho faces
of thc coin presented. Thia wo
could not do, because the law rc
quires that gold shall be redeemed
only at its actual value. Coins car
ried in tho pocket for any length of
time naturally lose something in
weight hy abrasion, probably but a
fractional part of a cont on a #10
coin; but it is a loss, nevertheless,
therefore bankers cannot give credit
for gold deposits until the coin shall
have been weighed. lu the case in
point my friend took bis gold to the
Treasury Department and was com
pelled to wait there nearly an hour
before he could get notes for it;
every coin had to be passed through
the scales, and after thc weighing
process had been completed three
coins-two ?5 pieces and one $10
piece-were returned to him as short
in weight, liefere returning abort
weight coins the Department stamps
on the face of each a cross. The
owner is left to either send the coins
to thc United States mint for re
demption or to again put them in
circulation. Eventually the coins
with crosses on their faees will go to
thc mint and be redeemed at their
actual value. In many instances
there may not be more than several
couts shortage on $50 worth of coin.
Business men naturally object to the
inconvenience and got rid of their
gold as fast as possible."

Whcie i?iio Id>od.
It ?B strange how "difficult sonto
porg?os find it to answer -a ?imp?o
question directly. 10von the fact that
timo, other pcoplo*s time, is valuable,
does not disturb their enjoyment in
cb atti ng of various things which
havo no boering on the two or tbreo
words whioh their interlocutors wait
moro or less patiently to hoar. Tho
following conversation took placo
not long ago in a busy savings bank :
Said the cushier, " Whore do you
livo, madam?"
"Well, I just carno in from the
Capo. My sister's just boon married
and her busband bas a fino place
down thoro. Ho's doing well, is
Amelia's husband, and I'm glad of it.
They say-"
"Excuso mo, madam," interrupted
tho onshior, "I wish to fill in this
blank with your residence."
"Woll, I was going to tell you.
She wanted mo to go down and visit
her at tho capo. So 1'vo been down
thoro a month. She wouldn't hardly
let mo como up to-day. Sho said I
must stay a week longer, anyway.
But I thought-"
Again tho official protested, "What
is your address now ?"
"As I was saying, I am going to
look for a boarding place. I don't
know where I'll stay. I vant a
placo to suit me for all winter. And
I can't decide-" Sho paused a
moment for breath, and scorned
ratbor surprised to bo asked sternly :
"Whore havo you been staying?
That address will do."
. "Why, at my sister's down on the
Cape. I never make long visits, but
I've been there more than a month,
sho being just married and thinking
a sight of me-"
"Yes, whore does your sister livo ?"
"Down on tho Cape-"
"Whereabouts is tho Cape?
What town ?"
"A thens v i He.*
And the cashier and four custo
mers, who had been waiting, breathed
a sigh of relief, as she turned away
murmuring that A ens vii le wasn't
really a town, but that ber married
sister liked living there very well.
His Judgment Day is Coming'.
Now listen. Soven hundred mil
lions of dollars is tho snug sum
which this Christian nation spent
last year for rum, wine and beer.
At least so the national statistical
bureau affirms. Would it be too
much to add twice that amount for
the direct and indirect bad conse
quences of the traffic ? Twenty-one
hundred millions of dollars! But
what is the sense of talking about
dollars when you undertake to esti
mate poverty, wretchedness, blight,
tears, bleeding hearts, the ruin of
home, body, mind, soul, eternity ?
This is the darling that is so tenderly
fondled by politicians, and protected
so carefully by the laws of the na
tion and commonwealth. But the
monster will not always bo used so
well. His judgment day is coming
-aye, is almost herc.-Kpioorth He
rald.
A lady of Warsaw advertised in
the papers that she was willing to
accept proposals for marriage, ami,
giving a description of bcrsolf, she
also enumerated tho qualifications
she required in her suitor. Among
those qualifications she mentioned
that he must bc thc owner of real
estate. She received many letters in
reply, but one of them was strictly
original. The writer said ho pos
sessed all that thc lady desired in
her future husband. Ho waa good
looking, bc held a responsible posi
tion, had many friends and was re
ceived in good society, and could
support a family comfortably As to
real estate, he had that, too; bo was
owner of a plot of ground in a
cemetery which was la ,e enough to
accommodate him, a wife and aix
children. Tho lady selected tho
writer of this letter from tho whole
number of suitors. She opined that
a young man of his position who
had thought of acquiring graves for
himself and a large family before ho
was married was surely worthy of
the endowment of her hand and
heart.

Teacher in Grade 1 School, junior
class, explaining tho attraction of
gravity : "If a ho e was cut through
the earth from one side to tho other,
and a cannon bal! dropped into it,
tho ball would bo drawn towards the
center with such force that it would
not stop when it reached tho center,
but woidd go nearly to tho other
side and returning would go nearly
as far on tho other side, its momen
tum decreasing each timo until at
last it would stop in tho center o?
tho earth ?" School boy in das?

Out if it stopped in the mindle?"

What f.H.t?o Ones Caa Do.
Children from fivo to toa years nf

A LACK OV "EDIHCATION"-Says
a Saratoga correspondent: I mot
dear old "fighting" Gov. Curtin, of
Pennsylvania, at the cottage one day.
Ile was just os full of fun and story
telling as over. Ile said ho was
once in a Southern hotel, so tired,
so full of business and care, as to bo
indifferent to creature comforts.
When ho wont to dinner, thc waiter
politely handed him tho bill of faro
and a low bow, and, "What will you
please lo order, sah ?"
"Oh, give mo some dinner," said
thc Governor, waving tho menu
away, without looking at it, and
handed thc darkey half a dollar.
Every day the same programme
was enacted; a grand darkey bow,
menu offered, waved away, "give
mo a dinner," and half a dollar.
And thc waiter would hurry off,
and bring back everything on tho
bill of fare, with, no doubt, thc men
tal ejaculation : "Well, dis yero
beats me ! Who'd a think sich a
fine gemmen as he had no eddica
tion."
Thc evening Gov. Curtin left, be
handed tho silver as usual, and said :
"Well, good-by, Jackson. You have
taken very good care of inc."
"T'ank you, sah. l'so awful sorry
to have you go; d reff ul sorry, in
deed, sab."
"Why, what's the matter ?"
"Deed, sah, doro's lots of gemmen
come to dis yer hotel, but no ono
came before what didn't know how
to road. I'so mortal sorry, honoy,
I mean sah; but I did my best to gc
you good dinners, sali."
Tho Famous Strasburg Clock.
The Strasburg clock has been for
about 300 years ono of thc wonders
of thc world. It has boon written
about" until students of descriptive
literature are almost as familiar with
it as if they had seen it. Its chief
performances arc, in addition to its
astronomical features, a procession
of apostles and saints around a cen
tral figure, Jesus. This procession
is preceded by tho feeble crowing of
a cock at 12 o*elook, and some of thu
more important figures in the pro
cession perform rather stiflly tho
principal acts that connect thom
with th?' history of tho Master.
The most wonderful performances
of tho clock from a mechanical
standpoint aro its astronomical
motions and indication of tho sea
nous. These motions aro accurato to
such a degree that it is said that one
shut up with tho clock would have
no difficulty in keeping tho run of
the seasons and tho motions of tho
principal heavenly bodies.
