A POPULAR FALLACY.
The B«»t I» Not Alwayn the Cheapest,
Some Folks Flml.
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.

Not a Good Morning.
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.

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.—

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.

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

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. ,

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

A scientist looking for microbes says
there art: absolutely none on the Swiss
mountains at an altitude of 2,000 feet.
Here is the place for the parity party,
aud scaremongers who are forever hor
rifying the public with the dismal fear
of microbes would have to take their
supply with them, most of which arc
useful to man. It is pleasing to observe
that the microbe does not give himself
lofty airs, but as a fellow creature comes
down to our level and dwells cheerily
in our midst.—Revue Scientifique.

pleasure to certify to the xoaUetit

Hon. J. D. Botkin
Ceacrassma—t-Large from Ksnaas.
Pe-ru-na and Man-a-fin. I have been
afflicted, more or less, for a quarter of
a century with catarrh of the stomach
aad constipation; a residence in Wash
ington has increased these troubles.
A few bottles of your medicines have
given me almost complete relief, and I
am sure that a continuation of their
aae will effeot a permanent cure.
Pe-ru-na Is surely a wonderful rem
edy for catarrhal affections.
