A weman who has gained wisdom by experience hopes some day to find time to. write an essay exposing the fallacy of the popular idta that in the end the best thing is always the cheapest. As an illustration in point she will tell you some years ago she saved and pinched in order to lay hy money enough to pur chase aa elegant gown. The gown, when it assumed form and substance, was of eleganfsatin, at $fl a yard, and lavishly trimmed with expensive rose point lace. She knew it. was too fine for a young woman w1k> had to exercise strict econ omy in dress, but everybody told h* j r that it would outwear half a dozen or dinary gowns and in the end prove a most profitable investment. The prediction as to the staying qual ities of the satin gown were f ulfilled. It lasted from season to season. Fash ions came and went, but the gown staid on and had to be frequently made over at expense that would have bought new gowns of pretty but inexpensive ma terial. Other yonng women reveled in tulles, foulards and organdies, but xhe owner of the satin gown had expended so much on that unfortunate investment that she could indulge in no other. She wore tbogown until she was sick and tired of it, and until she felt that everybody who knew her was sick and tired of seeing her have it on. At last she cams so to hate the old thing that remained just as good as ever and bade fair to last from generation to genera tion that she had it dyed black and evolved from it an underskirt and vari ous trimmings of an exasperatiugly durable sort. Then for the first time in years she indulged in some dainty and pretty dress fabrics so cheap as to permit of renewal with the shifting fashions and that she would not feed obliged to honor and cherish and wear world without end. We have heard of a young couple who, when they started out housekeep ing, were presented with an elegant solid silver service. To correspond with this service everything in their house had to bo costly and genuine, and it at last proved their ruin. Many house keepers have had the same experience with a grand piano or some other ex pensive piece of furniture with a cosily carpet, curtains, etc. In the effort to live up to these high priced articles and have everything else in keeping they have como to grief. ^ The moral of all this is, never lavish upon one or two articles cf dress or fur niture money which should bo expended in all around comforts rather than upon something so grand that it will dwarf all the other snrroundiugs and cause a vulgar incongruity, while the result aimed at should be a tasteful aud judi cious harmony.—Minneapolis Tribune. Tbn Age of the Karth. J. Q. Ooodchildof the British geolog ical survey makes au attempt to gauge the age of the earth from the geologist’s point of view. He passes in review cer tain changes which aro known to have .taken place in the past, working back ward from the glacial period, and esti mates the time required for the forma tion of the rocks of the various geolog ical periods. He concludes that 93,000, - 000 of years have elapsed since the commencement of the tertiary period and 700,000,000 of years since the com mencement of the Cambrian period. Moreover, the beginning of life upon the earth may be as much further back from the Cambrian times as Cambrian times are removed from our own, so that the total estimate assumes tremen- dous proportions. On the calculations of physicists, like Lord Kelvin, who refuse to allow that more than 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 of years can have elapsed since the earth cooled sufficiehtly for the evolution cfl living forms, Mr. Goodchild does not say much, bnt suggests that there is room for donbt as to the aoooracy of their data aud consequently of their conclusions.

Alir-iral Montague says that no body of men alive will bo found so alive as sailors to what makt s the combination of an officer and a gentleman. They will overlook many a rebuff on the part of a commander who shines in his pro fession and who embodies the discipline he seeks to impress upon them. Certain of these martinets draw a black lino between their behavior when on duty aud off One who was well known for an easy courtesy in private life had the most extreme reverence for the sanctity of “being on duty.” In deed he wonld not even shake hands with any captain of his own standing who might happen to eall on biwrrl his ship.. One incident in particular is remem bered as illustrating his attitude to ward the naval world. A young officer was keeping the morn ing watch for the first time, aud about half-past 7 in the morning the com- nmnder of the ship came upon the poop before the morning evolution of cross ing the yards. As he approached the lieutenant the young man spoke. “Good morning, sir!” said he. No answer. Then, thinking that the commander had not heard his saluta tion, he repeated it. The commander turned upon him. “What is that you say?” he asked. “Ob,” said the lieutenaut, “I was only saying good morning to you. sir.’’ “Ob. were you?’’ said the command er. “1 will tell you. once for all. there is no good morning here, sir. It’s all work. ’’ And he strode on. leaving the lieu tenant in a state of mind which is easy to imagine.—Youth’s Companion. A Rell With a Story. There is an old bell in the museum at Glen island which is looked upon with interest by persons whose educa tion was promoted when they were children by a certain reading book. The story in the old reading hook was this: In one of the old cities of Italy, many centuries ago, the king caused a bell to be hung in a tower in one of the public squares and called it “The Bell of Jus tice.” He commanded that anyone who had been wronged should go and ring the bell, and so call the magistrate aud ask aud receive justice. Aud when in the course of time the lower end of the bell rope rotted away a >iuo was tied to it to lengthen it. One stormy night the inhabitants were awakened by the loud clanging of the bell. Au old aud Starving horse, that had been abandon ed by its owner ami turned out'to die, wandered into the tower, and in trying to eat the vine rang the The mag istrate, coming to see who demanded justice, fonud the old, starving horse, and he cansed the owner of the animal, in*whose service he had toiled and been worn ont, to be summoned before him and decreed that as his poor horse had rung the bell of justice he should re ceive justice, aud that during the re mainder of the horse's life his owner should provide for him proper food aud drink aud stable. And'the story told at Glen island js that this is the bell, which Mr. Starin, while he was traveling in Italy, found, with the story attached to it, aud bought and brought home with him.— New York Tribune. Cheap Wit. There is a class of people, not other wise objectionable, to whom one feels continually inclined to recommend the study of the English language. The lan guage they use verges on slang, but is mostly like the “white kuight’s pud ding.” au invention of their own, w hich they weakly regard as humorous. Their term for the ocean is always “the mill pond”or the “briny deep.” They never step on land, but on “terra firma. ” They “gaze at the starry firmameut” iustead of looking at the sky, abd they meet their friends only upon “the liiai- to.” They never ask you to dinner, but “to grace the festal board.” Their home is always their “vine and fig tree, ” and their children are only their “olive branches.” Such cheap wit is far more tiresome than slang. Slang is sometimes pictur- esque aud may be rebuked as the gen uine article when it gets too pronounc ed. The misguided wretch who invaria bly calls his clothes “his garb” thiftks be is fenny. If you find him tiresome, be thinks yon priggish. For the yonng lady who thought it vnlgar to “go to bed,’’and only “re tired, ” one can feel pity. Oar wwi- neas for the man who forever “tnrni in” reaches at last unto disgust. He considers the simple terms of the lan guage beneath him.—Christian Work. *»4 Thackeray aa a Boy. It was while Thackeray was at achool at Chiswick that his mother and her hnsbaud came home from India. In a letter written to India she tells of her meeting with her son: “He had a perfect recollection of me; he could not speak, but kissed me, aud looked at me again and again, and I could almost have said, ‘Lord, now let- test thou thy servant depart in peace. ’ He is the living image of his father, and God iu heaven send that be may resemble him in all but his too short life. He is tall, stout and sturdy. His eyes are beceme darker, but there is still the same dear expression. His drawing is wonderful. ” ■*" There is a great deal of biography ia that short extract, and the reference to Thackeray’s father constitutes the only allusion to him net merely formal which ever happened to come to the preseat reader’s notice. Evidently this boy loved his mother, and she him, as was to be expected, and one may recog nize, from sentps of later letters, that the relation always continued intimate. If the man’s nature was sweet, and a store of love was always in his heart ready to leaven the thoughts of a host of readers, it is obvious that he cams honestly by tfeose blessed attributes.— Soribner’i. * *•- *- MANNING THE YARDS. A Naval Ceremony That Is Not Whitt It Used to De. In the old navy, when United States ships were actually ships with tbo bofl’u’s mate’s call, “All hiiiidsi cheer ship!” was followed by a much more picturesque ceremony than is pos sible now, when the vessels of the navy aro fitted with but a single yard and that only used for signaling. At tbo word of command “Man tbo yurtter*’ there was an amount of acrobatic scur rying on tbo main decks of the old ships that was calculated to make tbo ship visitor hold his breath, the thing look ed so dangerous. The men bluejacket uniform would fairly leap up the rope ladders, and almost by tbo time the echoes of tbo command had died away every yard on each mast would support scores of men aud boys, all standing erect, most of them only held up by the crossed arms of the men beside them. This representation of a cross was held by all of the men, and it was their business to stand thus with absolute statm-squeness. Then the com mand “Cheer ship!’’ would be bawled out on deck by the chief bos’n’s mate, and there would be a yell from cathead to mizzeu that couldn’t help but warm tbo blood of everybody within hewing of it. When the men manned the yards with all sail except topsails and atunsuils set, such a picture was really beautiful, the men's uniforms of blue standing out in sappbirelike contrast to the cameo whiteness of the shrouds. This was a ceremony on all formal occasions, suoh as the visit aboard tbo old ships of dis tinguished men. Aud “Man the yards I” and “Cheer ship!” were commands al ways given when one of the old clippers of the United States navy was either de parting for or arriving from a foreign station. — Washington Star. A .Magnificent Koad. The road I have in my mind is in In dia and stretches 1,200 miles from Lahore to Calcutta. It is the famous Grand Trunk road. Let me explain its nature, though one cannot do so by comparison, for there is no road of five miles in England that is anything like it. It is level—indeed there is not above a mile the whole distance where even a lady u«<4fl dismount to walk. The ma terial with which it is made is calked kuuker, aud if you care to turn that word into concrete you have an idea of what it is like. It is exceedingly hard and as smooth as a prepared pavement. There is no dust. When I first got on this road aud en joyed the luxury of easv traveling. I said, “This is magnificent, but in a lit tle time I suppose it wifi Ix-croie aud uneven.” I went 50, 100 miles, 200 miles, 600, GOO, 700 miles, and it was always the same, with not even a small stone to give a jog. Nearly the whole of the way is lined with a double row of majestic trees. With two friends I rode across India during the hottest, time of the year, in April aud May, and was never seriously inconvenienced by the heat, for at a pace of 15 miles an hour one could create a draft—Chambers’ Journal. , The Cuban question and political issues sink into insignificance with the man who suffers from piles.

Prickly Alb Hitters Is a wucceifful My»tom regulator. Hold by Cherokee Drug Co. An Blectrlo Shock. As a demonstration of the fact that an accidental contact with a high volt age circuit need not necessarily prove fatal and au equal dHUKinstration of the fact that a powerful electric shock properly directed so as to pass through vital portions of the body is undoubted ly fatal the following case is conclu sive. An electrician employed in the electric plant of the town of Little Al bany, lud., which furnishes power tr the street railways and electric light? of that town, accidentally brought his back into contact with the positive and negative terminals on a switchlsjard of an electric arc circuit carrying 9G arc lumps and consequently having a pres sure of 4,000 volts. Obeying the lav; of physics, the elec tric current took the shortest path be tween the two points of contact, and between these the tissue was instantly destroyed, two pits being burned in tht man’s back about three ibches in di ameter aud down to tbo bony structure. The burn was pretty high up on the back, just below the shoulder blades. Medical treatment for the burn began, and although the entire mass of tissue between the two points was dead an 1 had to be removed the man eventually recovered. If the same current had pass ed between his two hands across the body aud thus through the heart and lungs, their activity would have been instantly interrupted and death wonld have followed. Moreover, when the contacts are properly made, as in an electrocution, there is no burning of the flesh. — New York Medical Journal The Island City. Venice is one cf the most singular and famous cities in Europe and is built upon a cluster of islands in the lagoon. This lagopn is banked off from the Adriatic by a long, narrow sand bank which is divided into a number of is lands, six in number. Inside of this gaud bank and between it and the main land is tbo lagoon, a sheet of shallow water. In parts of this marshy, sea cov ered plain islets have become consoli dated into ground, firm enough to be cultivated. ♦ And in the midst of a crowded cluster of such islauds, amounting to between TOtand 80 in number, the citycf Venice is built. The chief of these islands is called Isolda de Rialto, or Island of the Deep Stream. The islauds. in many places mere shoals, afford no adequate foundation for buildings, and the city for the most part is built upon an artifi cial foundation of piles and stones. The Grand canal divides Venice into two equal parts aud is the main thor oughfare for traffic and pleasure. The city is subdivided by some 14G small canals, or water streets, and the gondola is used for the carriage. Access can also be had to various parts of the city by land, there being over 300 1fridges across canals. The Rialto, the most fa- mons bridge, spans the Grand canal. There aro also narrow lanes in among , the bouses. , * ■-.T - - ■ * , « ■ Very Nicely Done. “ Gallant Man (aside)—At last I have ber all to inyxeiL Now I can fell her how I love her and ask her to be mine.

Kowteld* Wit. He who matched wits with the author ef “The AnQent Mariner” bad indeed a lively task before him, for Coleridge was never caught napping. The poet was so awkward a horseman that his riding often attracted comment of any thing but a complimentary nature. One day he was riding along the turnpike road in the county of Durham when a wag who met him fastened upon him as an excellent subject for iport. Capqefluently he drew rein and taid'in n^ln^ertineat drawl: “My graceful friend, did you happen to meet a tailor on the road?” ‘ “I’m inonoed to think I did,” said' Ooleridge meditatively. “I was not sure at the moment, bnt he mid some thing about my meeting a goose farther alongti^e road. ” This wag 'pot'apurs to his horse, and tb^ poet-jogged calmly on his way.
