Hccoiil That Cowim to the MeJorlty\fil Mankind. Whether long life be a blessing W not God alone cau determine, who alone knows what length U is like to run, and how It Is like to be attended. Hoc rat en used to say that It watf pleas ant to grow old with good health and a good friend; and be mlgbt have rea soned, a man may be content to live while be is no trouble to himself or friends; but after that, It Is bard If he be not content to die. In life, as In wine, he that will drink It good, must not draw It to the dregs. Where thU happen*, one comfort of age may be, that whereas younger men are usually In pain whenever they are not In pleasure, old men And a sort of pleasure when ever they are out of pain; and as young men often lone or impair their present enjoyments by craving after what Is to come, by vain ' hopes or fruitless fears, so old men relieve the wants of their ago by pleasing ro flections upon what Is past. Therefore, men in the ^ealtli and vigor of their lives should endeavor to fill their lives with reading, with travel, with the best conversation, und the worthiest actions, either In public or private station; that they may have something agroeable left to feed on when they are old, by pleasing remembrances; RATS SETTLE AN OLD SCORE In Numbers They Mutilate a Vellum Copy of Browning's "Pled Piper of HamsHn.*} Rats invaded Wall street a few nights ago and made a vicious as sault upon Robert Browning's poem of tho Pled Piper of Ilamelln. In that poem, It will be remembered, the rats do not have a very good reputation. Bo far as known, this Is the first case of retaliation by^ the rats against 'Drowning for the hard things he ac cused them of. George D, Smith, a dealor in rare books, discovered $e evidences of tho fray early one morn ing. The particular Volume of the, Pled Piper upon which the rats vent ed their spile was au unusually hand somo copy printed on vellum and Il lustrated with quaint views of the Pi per and the army of rats In his wake Wending their way to the river. The Ulustrutlons and decorated borders wero by Harry Quilter, and tho book was printed In Ix>ndon in 1898. It Is not a rare book, but Is a choice edi tion of tho "Pled Piper," and very few have ever been printed on vellum. The volume was on a shelf with some other vellum books in Mr. Smith's 8 Hope All edges of the book from top to bottom were nibbled down close to the printed text and It is a curious fact that one or two fulls of the rats In the decorated borders h&ve been eaten off. Arta and Crafts Idea, Wo have all seen very attractive bits of jewelry made from gold or sll vor coins by having the background space .etched away, leaving only the head nnd the encircling rim with a few little connecting bars. The same idea can bo carried out by using for the head a little silhouette portrait, made by posing the subject against a bright sky through a window in a room, dark ened all except that one window, then taking a snapshot, A camera taking a picture two inches by three is large enough and the whole head should bo less "than an inch. Take several pic tures until a good outline is obtained. A bftby's head is exquisite and done in Rilver would be a beautiful scarfpln. For such a pin have only the head without an encircling rim. A mother's baby's head In gold would make a pendant that would bo a great treas ure. For a man who has two small sons T am planning cuff links, each link to have at one end a "different" boy, the other end of the link, of course, to be the usual dumbell. ? De lineator. ^ Simple Dimples. She had a dimple in each cheek ? a dptp, dainty, loving, klssuble, dcllcious dimple. "Ah!" exclaimed the young fool, "how I wish I had dimples like that;" and ho reached out his hand and pat ted them softly. The maiden smiled until the dim ples were a hundred times lovellor than before, and the youth was com pletely captured. lie took her for drives in the park. Then ho took her to a hotel and treat id her to a din ner such ns visiting prlncos Indulge in at the expense of the government. Next they went to the theater and oc cupied a box, and after that they sougnt out a cozy cafe. And since then ho has had two dim | pies, two deep, cavernous, empty dlm 1 pies, one In each side of his purse, and they will stay there until next pay day. Stone Microbes. The decay of building stones, ac cording to more than one authority, is not duo to wind action or other sur face influence, but to Internal disin tegration rosombling wood rot, and this is ascribed by some to a low or ,gnnism like the fungi and the mold? that cause the decay of vegetable sub stances. A cure has beon found for the stone disease, or at least a form of treat ment that diminishes its ravages., Tho stones are treated with germicides, the best of which appears to be a mix ture of sulphate of copper solution with bichloride of mercury and creo eete-.- ?
