New THE TIME LOCK OF LIFE. | Points Where tbo Characteristics of An c es tors Control Man. There is a theory, you know, that we inherit traits and conditions from our re? mote ancestors as well as from our im? mediate ones. I ,sometimes fancy that they descend to Eom'o people with a time lock attachment. A child is bom; he is like his mother, we will say; gentle, 'sweat, kind, truthful for years?let ns say seven. Suddenly the time lock turns, and the traits of his father (modified, of course, by the acquired habit of seven years) show themselves strongly?take possession, in fact. Another seven years, and the piggishness of a great uncle, the stinginess of an aunt, or the dullness, in books, of a rural grandfather, 'fx Then, in keeping with the next two turns of the lock, he falls in love with every new, face he sees, marries early and indulges himself recklessly in a large family. He is an exemplary hus? band and father, as men go, an ideal bus? iness man and a general favorite In soci? ety.. Everybody remarks upon the fa? vorable change since his stupid, priggish college days. All this time through j every change he has been honorable and upright in his dealings with his fellows. ? :? : Suddenly the time look of a thieving ancestor Is turned on; he finds tempta? tion, too strong for even that greatly fnadexestinmted power?the force of j habit of a lifetime?and the trust funds in his keeping disappear with him to Canada. Everybody is surprised, shocked, pained?and he, no doubt, mare so than any one else. Emotional insanity is offered as a possible explanation by the charitable; long headed, calculating, intentional rascality by the severe or self righteous. " ? ? . And he? Well, he is wholly unable to account for it at alL He knows that he had not lived all. these years as a con? scious, self controlled thief. He knows that the temptations of his past life had never before taken that particular form. He knows that the impulse was . sudden,, blinding, overwhelming, but he does not :knc^;.why^au4-':h?w. It was like an awful dream. He' seemed to oe power? less to overcome it, The -time lock had turned without his knowledge, and in ii-spito of himself. The unknown, un? heard of : thievish ancestor took posses? sion, as it were, through force of su perior strength and ability, and then it was his hour. The hereditary shadow on the dial had come around to him. The great uni^Vhour w^ jp??'ed. f' He; no doubt, :was. turned onto 'some iother dazed automaton!?in Maine or i Texas?who had fallen heir to a drop toe mnch of his blood, and she, poor thing, "happened" to be a girl this.time) forth . with proceeded to fall, in love with her ; friend's husband?seeing he was the only man at hand at the time; while the thievish ancestor left, in shame and con? trition, a small but light fingered boy in Georgia to keep ?; his engagement with our respectable, highly honored and heretofore highly honorable man of aSairs {hi Wall street.- The time; lockof hered? ity had been set for this hour, and the Jq^Tifrhgry ftfrrmrt atari apr oiled the iwheels and silently moved. the dial? ^Belford's Magazine. ; . ' ; ';- . A Diamond in the Fire. ?. There is a^exytmhappy young maiden at .'the branch telephone exchange at Hunt and Broadway. She was presented by her affianced with a diamond engage Iment ring, which cost $125..' Proud of ?the jewel, ahe was exhibiting it to her fcompanion at the exchange, and from ] one to the other the ring went clear along the line of ' operators seated at their ro ispective tahjes,' and admired by all of them. - Arriving at the upper end of the line, the young lady who last examined it wrapped it up in a small plecoof paper, ?and, calling the check boy, handed it to Mm, thinking: that he knew that it be? longed to Miss?, and that he would 'hand it to her. . . i ? The boy "walked to the stoyeand tossed the valuable little package into the fire. 'One of the rules of the exchange requires the young. .ladles, when they sharpen ;.theirJead pencils,.to gather up the chips in a Httlo paper, call the check hoy and havQ them thrown in tbo stova In the case of the diamond ring, the check boy took it fox granted that the package handed him was the pencil chips and tossed it in the stove, in which iattiio timethere was a redhot fire. Every effort was made to find the ring, but not even the diamond has been re-' covered. The engaged young girl is in? consolable.?Cincinnati Telegram. Their last Moments. When the famous musician Rameau -was dying,:his confessor wearied him . with a long homily, and he, rallying his ?'falling energies, exclaimed; "What on earth makes you come here and chant to me, Monsieur le Cure? You have a deuce of a bad voice." More than a century ago an actor, named Paterson -played the Duke in Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" (at the Norwich theatre). He had just delivered the beautiful speech: , Season tons with life: 'If I do lose thee, 1 do lose a thing limb none but ?oo? would keep, when he staggered back and -expired.? New; London Telegram. John Wesley on Demoniacal Possession. In England the same warfare went on. John Locke had asserted the truth, but the theological view continued to control public opinion. Most prominent among those who exercised great power against the truth was John Wesley, and the greatness and beauty of his- character ?srnade his influence in this respect all the mof ?~-ms&jrtuna te. The same servitude to the meretettex of scripture which led him to declare that "to give^up witch? craft is to give up tnV Bible and to take ground against the fundamental truths of theology," controlled him in regard to insanity. He insisted, on the authority Of the Old Testament, that bodily diseases are sometimes caused by devils, and upon the authority of the New Testament, that the gods of the heathen were demons; he 'believed that dreams, while in some cases caused by bodily conditions and passions, axe shown by scripture, to be also .caused by occult powers of ev?; he cites a phy? sician to prove that "most lunatics are really demoniacs." In bis-great sermon on "Evil Angels," he dwells upon this point especially; re? sists the idea that ."possession" may be epilepsy, even though ordinary symp? toms of epilepsy be present; protests against "giving up to infidels such proofs "of an invisible world as are to be found in diabolic possession;" and evidently be? lieves that some who have been made hysterical by his own preaching are "possessed of Satan." On all - this, and much more to the same effect, he in? sisted with all the power given to him by. his deep religious nature, his wonder? ful faniiliarity with the Scriptures, his natural acumen, and his eloquence. . But here, too, science continued its work. The old belief was steadily un? dermined, an atmosphere favorable to the truth became more and more de? veloped, and the act of parliament in 1783, which banished the crime of witch? craft from the Btatute book, was the be \ ginning of the end.?Andrew D. White in Popular Science Monthly. Moon Fables. . A maiden was accustomed to spin late on Saturday in the moonlight. At one time the new moon on the, evo of Sunday drew her up to itself , and now she sits in the moon and spins andspins. And nGw, when the "gossamer days" set in late in the summer, the white threads float . around in the air. These threads aro the spinningof the lunar spinner.. The moon Is especially a ghostly avenger of human arrogance, and has its humors, according to which things go well or ill with it. In its increase it has ?' special force and a certain goodwill for |he earth and jt? inhabitants, while in its decrease Iff is frlenSyto^o^'a' The good woman must not do any sewing in the decrease of the moon, for the stitches will not hold; fanning tools must not be left in the field, because ic la be? lieved, if they are, crops will not again thrive there. If .anunbaptized child Is exposed to the moonlight, it will lose its luck for its whole life. If one points at; the moon with the finger, he will suffer from swelling around the nail; and whoever spits at the moon will lose all his teeth. These beliefs, too, are International. The same is the case with the religious notions about the new moon. Sorceries of every kind, to be successful, must be performed on Sunday night of the now moon. The hair must be cut only in the increase of the moon, otherwise there is danger of getting headache. 'If a person returning home in the evening sees the full moon, he ought to take some money out of his purse, and utter an incantation that will make it increase a hundred times during the month. The moon Is also supposed to have an ? influence over animals and plants.?Dr. P." S. Krauss in Popular Science Monthly. _ Imitation Wines. We.have never yet heard of a wine merchant quixotic enough to deal avow? edly m "imitation wines," says a London journal, or even to Inform his customers that-the champagnes and clarets, sau I temes and burgundies with which he sup? plies them at so many shillings a dozen, were imported Into Prance for conver? sion from Spain, Italy, Hungary, Greece, or even far California. It is still less . agreeable, from the purchaser's point of View, to reflect that these bo called wines were manufactured of all sorts of hete? rogeneous ingredients at Hamburg, the headquarters of continental falsification I ?a city in which more "vin de Bor? deaux" is annually produced than in the whole department of the Gironde, iust as more "Havan as" are fabricated than goto three times the entire yield of all the Cuban tobacco plantations. With respect to these' malpractices, heavy charges, we regret to say, only too solidly founded on fact, have of lato been brought against the wine trade, by persons manifestly .well acquainted with the nefarious maneuvers in which grow? ers and shippers, importers and retailers alike, are leagued together with the com? mon purpose of defrauding the consumer. Their victim being the only honest man' connected with the whole transaction? that is, if he pays his wine bill?is neces? sarily at the mercy of. so formidable a hostile coalition, and is fore condemned, so to speak, without benefit of clergy, to exchange good money for worthless wares, deliberately palmed .upon him un? der false pretenses;??Boston- Herald. What She Gave. "Oh dear, Pre nothin' to put in the box foe foreign missions!" complained a little girl of our acquaintance, "No," said her friend, as she gave the little maid a caress, "but yon are a little home missionary." . And was she hot? She spent an hour that morning amusing her- baby sister, who was cross with cutting teeth. She sowed up a tear in brother Ned's ball, and hunted up some twine for his kite string, and she did it with a smiling face, and not a wordof being bothered. Yesterday this little home missionary attended the door bell for Mary, the housemaid, and let her goto visit her sick child. Meantime she wrote a letter to her absent father,, who was away on business, in which she told him all the home news in a frank, artless way, giv? ing the man a thrill of loving pride and pleasure in his little daughter. I She listened to one of grandma's old stories, told many times before, with patient attention. She laughed just at j-the right time to please the old lady, and > when it was ended, she said: * "That's 'one of your good old stories, grandma." In many ways did this little maid help I and cheer her mother. So, though she j could not contribute to the aid of foreign mission, she gave what could to add to the happiness of those about her, and who can do better than that??Youth's Companion. How to Deal with Diphtheria. A committee of the Massachusetts Medical society; appomted toconferwitix tho state board of health relative to diph? theria, officially recommends that the society^ both i^me^e^^^s^iyi^' ally, should foster as far as they can a proper sentiment in the community as to j the contagious nature of the disease, and more especially should, encourage its earliest possible recognition and report to the board of health-in each individual case. By these methods a p?bliQ senti? ment will sooner or later bo created jus? tifying and requiring from the proper authorities a suitable separate hospital for the treatment of infectious and con? tagious diseases; such, for instance, as are required by law in England, with ample means for support, and over which there shall be absolute authority, as al? ready exists over the hospital for small? pox. In tho absence of these necessary facilities for thorough isolation it is im? possible to exercise an efficient control Over the various dangerous diseases that from time to time become epidemic In the city, and which have gained a permanent foothold here.?Boston Journal Carried tho Proofs with Them. Two ex-Confederates who applied for allowance under tho maimed soldier act showed strong proof that they were badly hurt during the war. About 2 o'clock Mr. Lucius Maxwell walked in, and taking from his pocket an old Con? federate passport slowly unwound it and laid before CoL Tip Harrison six pieces of his skull. Mr. Maxwell was a mem? ber of the Forty-second Georgia regi? ment, and received a terrible wound In the head in one of the battles around Atlanta in July, 1864. About 4 o'clock Mr. Josephus Eiden came in and took from bis pooketbook a piece of his own skull which he has preserved all these years. Mr. Eiden was a member of the Thirty-fourth Georgia regiment, and was shot in tho top of his head at the battle of Jonesbora To this day these unfor? tunate veterans - still suffer from the effects of their dangerous wounds, and have never been able to do steady work since they were received. It is hardly necessary to add that the applications of both Were promptly allowed.?Atlanta Constitution. Lady Travelers. A great deal is said and written tend? ing to show that the gentler sex know as little about traveling as the sterner sex know of fashion plates, but it is about time to call a halt on that proposition. Traveling by rail has become, so common that there are very few ladies, emigrants excluded, and among that class the men know as little as the women,'who are not perfectly capable of taking care of themselves on a journey of a few hun? dred miles. They are as speedily served with tickets as the average man, and more readily disposed of than many of the latter, and ask fewer questions as to when the train will depart, where It can be found, how often they will be com-' polled to change cars, eta Theageis ?progressive, and in railroad traveling the ladies are keeping right up with the procession.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. An Aged Biblical Error. The Universities Press edition of tho English Bible contains a typographical error whioh has remained unconnected for fifty years. It is in tho seventeenth verse of the eleventh chapter of Zccha riah, which reads, "Woo to tho idol shepherd." The word "idol" should bo "idle."?New York Star. FromJBussia it is reported that a me? teoric stono which recently dropped from the heawens contained a number of dia? monds. A Brave Man Shrinks. "How's this John ?

"Yes, but the cannon hadn't been eating onions."?New York Mercury. He found Heaven. There was a Methodist preacher who preached one day on heaven. The next morning he was going down town and he met one of his old weal'hy members. The old feilew met the preacher, and he said : "Pastor, you preached a good sermon about heaven, but you never told me where heaven is." "Ah," said the pastor, "I am glad of ihe opportunity this morning, t have just come from the hill top yonder. In that cottage is a member of your church. She is sick in bed with fever; her two (little children arc sick in the other bed, and she has not a bit of coal or a atick of wood, or flour, or ?ugar, or any bread. If you will go down toWn and bu^v fifty dol? lars' worth of things, nice provisions, and send them up to her, and than go up there and say, 'My sister, I have brought you these nice provisions in the name of our Lord and Saviour,' you ask for a Bible, and you read the* twenty third psalm, and you get down on your knees and pray?if you don't see heaven before you get all through, I'll pay the bill." The next morning he said : "Pastor, I saw heaven, and I spent fifteen minutes in heaven as sure as you are listening." ? Wesleyan Christian Advocate. True Words-Pay Yonr Debts. A Marietta young man who has made a success in his own business, never made a truer utterance.than when he said, "No man can succeed in apy community who fails to pay his debts." You can watch it when you may, and tbe man who pays his debts has the confidence of the people and is aided, and has a good word spoken constantly in his favor, while the man who owes nearly everybody and pay e nobody is marked, "No Good," and soon finds the road down hill greased fur tbe occasion. Old man, young man, if you would be honored, trusted and prosperous in any community, be industrious, keep your word, abstain from whiskey, and pay your debts. If you think yon. can reach tbe goal of success by a shorter route than pursuing the safe bat straight road of honesty, you will be sadly mista? ken. All along: the road of dishonesty you will find human wrecks, bleaching skeletons of bankrupt characters, crimi? nals, blasted hope and dishonored names. Stand true to tbe principles of integrity, pay your debt*, and be "the noblest work of God," "an honest man." With the "new year" turn over a new leaf, deserve the confidence of your fellow men and you will receive it. A good name is bet? ter than great' riches.

New Yobk, March 8.?A notable party of excursionists to tbe South will leave here to-morrow night. They will travel in two private cars, which givee some idea of the size of the party. The; ' will be in tbe hands of John H. In man and John C. Calhoun, two noted cham? pions of Southern progress and develop* ment. Their intention is to visit Charles? ton, Savannah, and Brunswick, with a view to examining those.ports as outlets for the vast amount of liew business that is to be developed by recent railroad alli? ances and the prospective growth of all material interests in the South. The Hon. Abram 8. Hewitt and hh brother in law, ex-Mayor Edward Cooper, will be among the distinguished members of the excursion party. The whole crowd are obstensibly going on a pleasure trip, but it is whispered on good authority that Messrs. Hewitt and Cooper will not be bent on pleasure solely. Mr. Hewitt is reliably reported to have said that his principal purpose io making tbe trip was to carefully examine some of the coal fields and iron ore districts of Tenuessee and Georgia, and that, if his examination confirms tbe accounts he has had of the vast coal7and mineral resources of those States, he will probably move bis entire iron manufactory plant, now in Pennsyl? vania, to tbe South, and most likely locate either io Tennessee or Georgia. This possibility foreshadows a thing of great* est importance to the South, as Mr. Hewitt employs in bisPenn?ylvania iron industry over 2,000 men, and a change of base would involve his carrying all those bands, with their families, to bis new field of operation. It is impossible to say ex? actly where he may locate, as he has no preceived preference, but will be govern? ed entirely by his inspection of the whole territory, and settle wherever he finds the greatest advantages. ? A party of scientific gentlemen recently performed a series of electrical experiments on the animals in a mena? gerie at Bridgeport, Conn. Tbe baboon, the sea lion and Beals, monkeys, the ele? phants and other animals were treated to doses of the electric current. All tbe animals, with tbe exception of the ele? phants, manifested an intense disgust at the.experiments, and fought and howled with rage. The elephants, on the con? trary, appeared to enjoy the electricity. ? In the year 1889 we received from Europe $32,000,000 more gold than we exported.
