And then •c tv** fes- we discovered in the new place, and then, the last wagon unloaded, the can dies lighted, our neighbors who had helped us to move—for iu those times neighbors helped each other—sat down with us at a table on which there was every luxury they could think of. Well, my dear Lord knows that some of us have been moving a good while. We have sent our children ahead, we have sent many of our valuables ahead, sent many treasures ahead. We can not go yet. There is work for us to do, hut after awhile it will be toward night, and we will be very tired, and then we will start for our new home, and those who have gone ahead of us, they will see our approach, and they will come down the lane to meet us, THE SAME OLD QUESTION. Even Cato and Sclplo OUeasaed When the Ceatnrtee Began. In the years 000 and 601 A. U. C., or Anno Urbls Conditse—that Is, after the building of Rome, or 154 and 153 B. C.—the question was discussed in Rome whether 600 or 601 was the be ginning of the seventh century after the founding of Rome. While as. In our days, the standing question in the capital of the Romans was “Quid novl ex Africa?” (What Is the news from Africa?) a third war with the republic of Carthage seeming imminent, Cato the elder, Sclplo the younger and other prominent men of the day found time for the discussion of the century question and disagreed. Some held that 600, others that 601, was the first year of the new century of old Rome. So Calpurnius Plso, the Roman an nalist, tells us in his records. lie after ward. In 148 B. C., commanded the Roman legions in Africa against Car thage, which two years later succumb ed to Sclplo Africanus, by whom it was destroyed. No doubt hardly a century passed after the times of Charles the Great (Charlemagne) in which the centurial Dommencement problem did not agitate the minds. This was especially the case in Italy in the thirteenth and four teenth centuries. In the year 1600 there was such a hot discussion on the question in Ger many that a medal was struck iu com memoration of it, with the German In scription which in English version is: “Oh. wonder of wonders! Man counts 1G0O, and still he ponders how old he may be.” Toward the end of 1799 the same dis pute arose In the fatherland, and the discussion was especially hot at Wei mar, at that time the center of German culture. There were two opposing par ties called respectively the “NTnety- niners" and “Hundreders,” according to their believing either 1799 or 1800 to be the last of the eighteenth century. Goethe aud Schiller, ns may be seen from their letters, at first siding with the “Ninety-nlners,” finally were con verted to Join the “Hundreders.” but not without first having celebrated, over a bowl of champagne, the close of the eighteenth century on Dec. 31. 1799. aud again celebrating in the same way the beginning of the nine teenth century on Jan. 1, 1801.—Balti more Sun.

When moving out of a house, I have always been in the habit, after everything was gone, of going into each room and bidding it a mute fare well. There will lie tears ninnipg dov. n many cheeks in the Maytime moving that the car men will not be able to understand. It is a solemn and a touching and an overwhelming thing to leave places forever—places where we have struggled and toiled and wept and sung and prayed and anxiously watched and agonized. Oh, life is: such a strange mixture of honey and of gall, weddings aud burials, midnocii and midnight clashing! Lvcr.v home a light house against which the billows of many seas tumble.

The so called brier pipe is not made of brier at all. “Brier” is a corruption of the French word “bruyere.” mean ing heather, and the misnamed brier Is in reality the wood of the heather. This peculiar corruption, like many others, is solely due to the Kuglish tradesman, who. finding the correct word “bruyere” somewhat ditileult for the British tongue to negotiate, quickly reduced it to the more familiar “brier,” and the wood has been known by that name ever since. The heather thrives In great profu sion on the rocky slopes of the Tuscan Alps in North Italy aud on tiie moun tain.si les iu Corsica. A little is also to he found in Algeria, though this is not of a sufficiently high quality to be used for the best-Knglisb pipes. A few years ago the plants flourished on the French side of the Jura mountains, hut this supply has long since l»een ex hausted. The only brier to lie obtained at the present day from Fiance grows in the Alps Maritimus. near Nice, hut even In this neighborhood tiie root is so sell it, or tiie income is less and you cannot pay the house rent. Fi; t of all, such persons should understand that our happiness is not dependent on the size of the house we live in. I have known people enjoy a smaii heaven in two rooms and others suffer a pande monium in ‘go. There is as much hap piness in n small house ns in a large house.

Who was the happier—John Bimyan in Bedford jail or Belshazzar in the saturnalia? Con tentment is something you can neither rent nor purchase, it Is not extrinsic; it is intrinsic. Are there fewer rooms In the house to which you move? You. will have less to take care of. Is it to be stove Instead of furnace? All the doctors say tin* modern modes of warming buildings are unhealthy. Is It less mirrors? Less temptation to your vanity. Is it old fashioned toilet Instead of water pipes all through the house? Less to freeze and burst when you cannot get a plumber. Is it less carriage? More room fc* robust exer cise. Is It less social position? Fewer people who want to drag you down by their jealousies. Is It less fortune to leave In your last will and testament? Less to spoil your chiklrcp. is It less Can Hear, but Not See'. “When people read that armies are engaging each other at li.oou yards dis tance. they think the combatants can see each other, hut they cannot,” said nn officer “At that distance It Is Im possible to distinguish between u man and a horse, and at l.'Joo yards, espe- ! daily where there .Is any dust. It re quires tiie Iwst kind of eyes to tell In fantry from cavalry. At 900 yards the movements become clearer, although it is not until they get within 750 yards of each oilier that tiie heads of the col umns can he made out with anything like certainty. Infantry can be seen In the sunlight much jnore easily than cavalry or artillery lH*cause less dust Is raised. Besides. Infantry* are dis tinguished by the glitter of their mus kets. At 2.000 yards, however, every thing is unsatisfactory, even with the aid of fleldglassea, for a marching col umn in dry weather raises a great deal of dust.”—YMnelnnatl Enqnlrer. e. m. s 30 a to y ge 10 50 11 30 it :r, 13 30 1 00 1 20 { 2 30! 2 501 3 ID! 4 10' 4 45 5 30 t; 00 6 25 6 35 7 00 P.

An old army otllcer, speaking of dodging shots and shells In battle, said that in all his years of experience he had only seen three or four shells actu ally in the air, and they came from the gun he himself fired. He explained that there are a few guns with somewhat slow muzzle ve locity, and the men firing these can sometimes catch a glimpse of the shells in their flight, hut It would be impossible for any man to see a shot coming toward himself. Dodging shells is done by getting un der cover immediately before a gun is actually tired. “For instance.” said tlu* oiHcer. “if 1 wore climbing a hill, at the top ot which a gun was directed against me, I could tell exactly when a ahe'l was likely to come bounding along. Be fore the order is given to fire the men in charge of the piece ‘stand clear,’ and that is the warning note, so to speak. Keep your weather eye on the gun directed against you, and when the gunners stand clear you dodge the ahot.”—London Standard. Beating tbe Railroad. There was a man in town recently who told of a scheme he worked to beat a railroad. “A friend and myself wanted to come from Omaha to Kan sas City. He said to me, ‘You buy a ticket only to the first station, and [ will show you a good trick.’ I bought a ticket as requested, while my friend bought a ticket for the full distance at the regular fare. We took a seat to gether iu the train. The conductor came around, took up the tickets and put a punched train check In my friend’s hat, indicating that he was ticketed through to Kansas City. When the conductor got out of sight, my friend took Ids knife and split the card, lie put half into my bat and the other into his own. Both splits looked- like a regular cheek, and I came right on through without paying any more fare. We divided the saving, which was more than $2 each.” — Kansas City Times. Point Not Well Taken. “It seems to mo,” said the magazine editor, condescending to point out some of the flaws in the literary style of the contributor, “you use a faulty figure of speech when you speak of a ‘brave old hearthstone.’ How can a hearthstone be brave?” “Well, sir.” said tiie contributor, “the one I am writing about has been under fire for nearly 40 years without flinch ing.”—C hiengo Tribune. _ The Benefit.
