Some folks is allers grumblln' no matter what they do, An' they keep themselves an' others in a neverending stew; There's notbin' seems to please 'em an' you'll often bear 'em say If tbey bad this world to manage 'twould be run a diff'rent way. When the days are bright and sunny then tbey allers pray fer rain ; When the water tumbles earthward then they want the sun again; When the snow is softly fallin' au' the wintry breezes blow, Then tbey spend tbelr time in swearin' an' a cussin' ov the snow. There's a lesson for such people thet thet little British pest, Called the sparrow, is a-teacbin' though he hasn't got no nest, Fer he just keeps on a chatter in' an' ho does the best be can Fer to make an honest livin', an' you can't Bay that o' man. No matter what the weather, you can Bee him in the street, Jest a pick in' up his livin' in the rain an' snow an' sleet. An' he's plumper 'an a patridge an' he's rounder 'an a ball, Fer he knows ther's one in heaven that'll heed a sparrer's fall. He ain't bigger ner a minute, but be kin? der seems to say Though et's rainin' now, I reckon thet the sun'll shine some day. An' when the snowfiakes fallin' hide from sight most everything, He keeps up a ceaseless chatter while he's lookin' fer the spring. Let us emerlate the sparrem an' take pattern by their ways. Laugh when e'er a storm o'ertakes up, an' then pray fer better day p. Let's be cheerful an' contented, never grumblin' et our lot, Then in our hearts, I reckon, we ken find a garden spot. Mrs. fciraut Talks. Mrs. Grant, the widow of General Grant,- is now living in Washington at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Nellie Grant-Sartoris. In speaking of her husband recently she said, among other things : "I was with the General through nearly the whole of the war, and I must confess I am fond of the army. I was glad to be with him, and he al? ways arranged his headquarters, if possible to do so, in order that I might share his lot. I remember when he was stationed in Nashville he sent for me to come, and a few days after my arrival he was ordered away to another post. He oame into head? quarters looking very much depressed, and when I told him that some of the ladies had remarked that he always ran away when I came, he said he had been planning all in his power to re? main where he was, but that Long street's movements forced him to go to the front. In his last campaign in Virginia I was with him, and lived for several months in a log cabin on the banks of the James River. We had waited long and anxiously for the surrender of the South, and I remem? ber how gladly he hailed the news that Lee was ready to lay down his sword. The General had a severe headache when the tidings came, but he said it vanished instantly. He was glad the war was over for the sake of the Southern people. He bore no feeling of animosity toward his oppo? nents, and often he has told me that for the good of the South he wanted to end the struggle. 'They are peo? ple/ he sometimes remarked, 'like ourselves. They have struck out wildly, and for their own sakes I wish to bring this war to an end?the soon? er the better for both sides, for a di? vided nation could never live. We must be a Union.' And always his expressions were full of a feeling that longed to bring the whole nation back into harmony. Few, perhaps, know that Gen. Grant was a Blave holder, but the fact is he had several in the State of Missouri, and these were freed, like those in the South, by the emancipation proclamation. These slaves," said Mrs. Grant, "came to him from my father's family, for I lived in the West when I married the General, who was then a lieutenant in the army. I lived in the army then for awhile, and afterwards we farmed in Illinois. When the war broke out I followed him to the field." Sympathetic Painter, The language of hints is Greek to children as a rule, and they interpret it after a simple fashion of their own. "Where have you been all morning, Dick?" inquired Mrs. Sampson of her 10-year-old son. "I've been down by the old saw? mill, watching a man paint a picture," replied Dick, whose chubby counten? ance was decorated with paint of var? ious colors. "I am afraid you must have bother? ed him," said Mrs. Sampson, as she begau to scrub her son's besmirched features. "No'm, I didn't bother him a hit," said Dick, in a moment's intermission between the applications of soap and water. "He was real interested in me; I could tell by the way he talked." "What did he say?" inquired Mrs. Sampson. "He looked at his watch," replied Dick, "and told me he knew it was 'most my dinner-time. He knew a boy of my age must be hungry, he said, for he'd been a boy himself."? Yotittis Covipamion. ?

Pubs Kills an Eagle and Takes It Home. Charles Wiswell, of Carbonate, Lawrence county, Minn., has a cat that is a king of its kind. Besides being a good mouser, this remark? able feline is death to mountain rats, night hawks and other small game, not long ago bringing home as the result of its prowess a large jack rabbit. But the most remarkable Incident in the cat's history hap? pened a few days ago. It was an encounter with a full grown bird of freedom, and pussy was the victor. The cat was sitting on a pile of rjuartz patiently await? ing the reappearance of a chipmunk, which but ft moment before It had chased into a hole, when suddenly the sky abovo the cat became dark? ened, and an ominous swish as if from a rapidly moving body fell upon pussy's ear. The cat sjprang aside with a motion so rapid that the eye could scarcely follow it, and in the place it had occupied but a moment before stood a full-grown bald eagle, its plumage ruffled and thirsting for blood. Pussy had sand and accepted the gauge of battle, and in less time than it takes to tell it, the famous "monkey and parrot" time was being re-enacted. It was a desper? ate struggle, and, although pussy was pretty badly scratched by the eagle's talons, it, when taking the initiative in the fight, secured a de? cided advantage, having landed on the eagle's back. For a few mo? ments the air was filled with fur and feathers, and the ground was all torn up, but pussy held on, and in a short time succeeded in biting through the neok of its antagonist. The struggles of the eagle grew weaker and weaker, and soon ceased altogether, and pussy, exhausted by the violent exertions and sore from wounds inflicted by the eagle's tal? ons, rested for a moment, then, &9 calm as though sitting on a rug be? fore the kitchen hearth, went care? fully over the ruffled fur, made its toilet, and, seizing the body of the vanquished antagonist, drew it with much difficulty to the home of its master. Laying it at the master's feet, the cat purred its satisfaction, and in this way boasted of the vic? tory. The combat was witnessed by a number of people, everyone of whom expressed a desire to buy the cat, but Mr. Wiswell says ho would not sell it for the best mine in the Black Hills. The eagle measured six feet four inches from the tip of "one wing to that of the other.?St. Paul Pioneer Press. CURIOUS ARMS. Ancient Implements of War Which Are Now Quito Obsolete. Among the arms now obsolete which formed a large part of the in? fantry equipment in the days when the army was started wa9 the pike, which was in the form of a spear, with a fiat and pointed head, mounted on a staff from thirteen to eighteen feet long. The firearm in general use at tho time was tho matchlock. What would a sergeant major of the present day, with his men armed with the magazine rifle, think of such a weapon as this: "Attached to the lock of this musket was a pan, also a cock, the hammer of which was somewhat in the form of a bird's, serpent's or dog's head; this head was split, and a screw com? pressed or eased the slits. The piece being loaded first with powder and then with ball, some powder was poured into the pan; the pan was then shut to keep this 'priming' from dropping out and to keep it dry. When the soldier wished to fire, he fastened his burning match into the slit of the cock, opened the pan, looked to his priming, pre? sented, and pulled the trigger; the match, falling into the powder in the pan, firod it. "Between the pan and the breach of the barrel communication was es? tablished by means of a small hole; when the piece was being loaded the grains of powder were naturally rammed and shaken down close to this hole, and when priming, the soldier took caro to perfect the com? munication of tho powder in the pan with that in the barrel; thus the ex? plosion in the pan caused the igni? tion of the charge." All the'Year Round. Tho "Man-Eater." Lower California is the home of a speoles of lizard which appears to bo at least a second cousin to the famed "Gila monster." It \s of a mottled yellow and brown color and only about fifteen Inches long. The na? tives of that region have given it tho torrible nomo of "Man-eater," be? cause it has a habit of attucking every human being it sees?going at them open-mouthed?but does not appear to mind either wild or do mestlo animals. The man-eater's body is almost as brittle as that of the mythical "joint-snake." "Currant" Literature. "I supposo your daughter is well posted in the current literature of?" Mother?Well, I'm ashamed to own it, but she never looks inside of a cook book, an' don't know no more about puttin' up currants or any Other fruit than a child.?Intef Ocean. ? One of the most remarkable characters in the United States is an old soldier known to the G. A. R. men of the East as "Comrade Chase. Chase served in a Maine battery dur? ing the war, and oarries the scarB of nearly 100 wounds, 48 of which were received ia the single battle of Get? tysburg. During the "period of con? flict" he is snid to have received more wounds than any other man who fought on citner side, and lived to tell of his marvelous escapes, and exhibit his numerous scars in proof of his wonderful story. ?

I Tbe Missing Chert. Here is a story, told by the New York Herald, that illustrates two facts, first, the foolishness of making bogus wedding presents, or if not bo? gus presents, pretentious gifts; and second, that no matter how carefully you may invite your guests to your marriage, it is well to watch them, for people in good society will steal. As far back as 1S55, in a small Hudson river town, a young woman was married to her father's confiden? tial clerk. In addition to winning his bride, the young man seenred a part? nership in his father-in-law's concern, and on the day of the wedding there were displayed, as was the custom in those days, the presents. Among them was a check for $10,000 from the bride's father. The couple lived happily together for nearly 30 years, when the husband died. At intervals the wife visited her old home, met and conversed with her old friends, reared her children in the fear of the Lord, and was in ?very way a good member of society. A few years after the death of her hus? band her father, then a venerable old man, died. "When his estate was set? tled the daughter and widow found herself charged in the will with $10, 000, to bo deducted from her portion of the estate. "But," she said to the executors, "I never received this money. And it is not fair to deduct it from my portion of the estate. I don't care to contest the will, but I think there must be some mistake about it. I recollect the cheek among my wed? ding presents, but I never saw it afterward. I suppose my husband took it, and if he did it was all right, but I have no proof of it either way.'; The executors were in a quandary, and in some way the story of the missing check became known in the village. Then a surprising thing happened. One of the most respect? able citizens of the town, a prominent member of the church, came forward, and, after a good deal of hesitation, drew from his pocket a faded slip of paper. "See what my wife found in an old suit of clothes," said he. "I?I? don't know how it came there, but I thought it might be of some service to you." It was the $10,000 check. Whether in jeBt or with the intention of steal? ing it, the respectable citizen had put it in his pocket. Having it once in his possession, he found it an awkward instrument. He was equally afraid to use it or mention the fact of his hav? ing it, until 30 years later, when the discussion regarding the will made it possible. Cotton Pods for London. A young woman from South Caro? lina has been paying a long holiday visit to New York, all the expenses of which have been defrayed from the outcome of a trifling incident which occurred to her two years ago. At that time her Bister was at school in England, and, thinking that the ab? sent sister might like to see something of home, she sent her a cardboard box containing a couple of twigs of half opened cotton pods. These were seen by a London florist of ideas, who found out what they were and where they came from, and thon commis? sioned the school-girl to write to her sister, making the offer of a very nice price for any number of such sprays delivered to him in good condition, to be used for decorative purposes. The proposition was accepted, and for two seasons now the young woman has sent over each year three big packing boxes of prime pods, bought cheap from her father'fe plantation It rather dashed her good spirits when she learned that the "decorative pur? poses" for which the half-opencdpods were to be used should really have read mortuary purposes, the shrewd florist having conceived the idea that, tied up in white or pale mauve ribbon, they would form a very pretty emblem for departed buds and other young persons. But the draft that accom? panied the revelation was so hand? some that it considerably modified the shock, and, as has been said, ono of the results has been a long pleasure visit to New York on the net profits from this odd transaction in South Carolina cotton pods.?N. Y. Sun. For Christmas, 1899. The close of the nineteenth and the dawn of the twentieth centuries are to be celebrated by the ringing of the Peace and Liberty Bell in Jerusalem. The committee having in charge the celebration has invited the Peace Bell Committee to meet in the Holy Land Christmas Eve, 1899, on the spot where the shepherds received the message, "Glory to God in the High? est." The corner-stone of the great temple to be erected in the Holy Land will be laid at the same time. It is proposed to have the bell con? nected with the cables reaching to all parts of the earth. Then a half-hour before the time set all telegraphic business is to be suspended, and every syBteni connected with the Jerusalem wire. Every congre.rrition in Christ? endom will be assembled in its place of worship, and when the bell is rung j the message "Peace on earth" -will be flashed over the world at the same moment. She Silenced a Borr. Miss Maud Adams is a member of the company supporting John Drew, and a good story is going the rounds concerning her quick wit. One after? noon she attended a luncheon party and met, among others, a young man, recently married, who is noted for his bold manners, and who has won the name of being the biggest bore in society. He asked Miss Adams a number of personal questions, and the hostess was about to speak to him bnt received his just punishment from the young lady he had been bothering. j "Miss Adams," he asked, "will you tell me if you arc married?" "I am not." "Do you contemplate such a step?" "I give it no thought." "And why, pray?" he persisted. "Because I am not so easily pleased as your wife was." 1 Country Life Tersus City Life* For some time my mind has been occupied with the subject of the cap? tion, especially as related to young people. Did you ever notice, my young friends, that in most of the so called reunions and at banquets almosit every Bpeakcr leads you to infer from his remarks that he was brought up on a farm, and then goes off in rhap? sodies about what a splendid time be used to have in winter when farm work was not pressing. And some honest ones among them will, while heaving a sigh, say; "I wish I had never left the farm !" At the sugges? tion that the way was open, and that he could go back if he wanted to, the answer comes : "It is too late in life for me to commence anew in the coun? try." One often meets with young men who arc anxious "to go on the road," that is to say they would like to be commercial drummers. I am afraid they think that the life of such a po? sition is a continual frolic ! What a sad mistake ! The commercial trav? eler has to sell goods ; if he fails he is superseded. Travel by night; get up out of your berth after midnight, per? haps go to a livery stable, wait until a horse is fed and then dash off into darkness and travel on all sorts of roads a dozen miles or less, reach your destination just after breakfast is over, wait for your meal and gulp it down, quality good, bad or indifferent and then seek a customer or two only to find that another drummer has just taken their orders. Now for the next place, and on that little journey you meet your man who had scooped the trade and he laughs at you. Do you think the situation pleasant ? That is not romancing, but a plain, every? day fact. But you are still inclined to thiuk it is a pleasant life in the city, even if you have to obey others' bidding. You say; "There are Y. M. C. A.s' ?thank God there are?and they will help an honest, right-minded young? ster like me. It would he dreadful if one could not paBS these trials and ordeals unscathed. Others have done so, many of them, and why not I ?" I think the chances arc against you. But before you take the decided step, let me tell you of some of the good things you intend to forsake. You will miss most likely the counsel of a mother, and when you are per? plexed and have a headache you will miss her cool hands which have so often cured it and brought the welcome sleep. You will miss also the bright and pleasant rally and call of a sister older than yourself, who has often made you laugh and dispelled the blues when you were only tired in body and glum in mind and behavior because of the hard lot of a farmer. You will miss all the nice little partic.3 gotten up in the neighborhood and the pleasant ride with a young lady in a buggy on a seat just large enough for two. But, you say, I would get a position in a store in the city. All right. If you have a prospect, capital and friends, so that you can look forward to being the owner of a store it is worth while to learn to be a merchant. It is at best a calling not only what one may learn in a business college ; but an almost universal knowledge of things so varied that a life-long ex? perience will hardly give a man a Poor ealth 1 means so much more than 'you imagine?serious and 'fatal diseases result from 'trifling ailments neglected.

Take the word of an old man who has lived in New York City, Chicago and St. Louis, for it, and who has spent more than a fourth of a century on a farm, and who has passed through some of the experiences herein hinted at. The most healthful, agreeable and in every way desirable life is the life of the American fanner, even when wheat is selling for only CO cents a bushel. I Lave hauled many a load G2 miles by wagon and sold it in Chicago for less money, and not only lived through it, but enjoyed it, and often think of a triumph over hard times, and so may you, my young friends and readers.?Cliarles W.

The man who baa fcornethinc to offer, and then tells the folks about in a plain, business way, is the man who "gets there," and getting there, stands. Lots of people handle Faint. Some handle one kind, some another, but they all realize, if they have any business sense at all, that in order to make that business a permanent success it is absolutely neces? sary to give the people the very best ma? terial This we have tried to do, and at a price that puts it in the reach of all. In this connection we call attention to the fact that crops are about laid by, time is plentiful, f.nd a little paint not only freshens and beautifies, but improves won? derfully the sanitary condition of the premises. If your house is all right may? be the fence needs a coat. A little Paint would keep that old buggy from falling down, and the wagon might last a year or two longer by spending seventy-five cents or a dollar in Paint on it. Remember this, the longer you put it off the more it takes and the less good it does. Remember another thing, it costs just as much, and tak~s just as much time, to have cheap paint put r as it does good Paint. Always buy the est, even if you pay more for it.
