Dost Bl Atnili of Work.
One tliIn* that keeps young men
down Is their fear of work. They aim
to find genteel occupations, so they
can dress well, not soil : tl>elr clothes
and handle things with the tips pf
their fingers. They do not like to
get their shoulders under the wheel,
and they prefer to give orders to oth
ers or figure as masters and let some
one else do the drudgery. There Is no
doubt that indolence and laziness are
the chief obstacles to success.

'Shoulder Protection.
'In the steel curb shoulder protection
.which now forms n part of the equip
,inent of nlmost all .cavalry the troops
have n permanent reminder of one of
the most exciting adventures which be
fell Sir George I.licit, the lleutennnt
general commanding the Bengal forces.
During the Afghan operations of 1878
to 1880 he took his regiment, the Fif
teenth hussars, up to Kandahar and en
countered at Tnkht-I-Pul a strong body
of hlllmcn led by Afghan sownrs, who
mnde things pretty wnrm for him for a
few minutes. In the bund to hand
fighting he .became engaged with a gi
gantic Pntlmn, wlm broke down his
gunrd and would have cloven him from
shoulder to belt but that his wife had
sewed on tils shoulders In the lining ol
his tunic n cnnple of steel curb chains,
one of which broke the force of tin
slash.
The Incident so Impressed the mill
tsry authorities In India that what Is
now known ns the .Luck or “lucky"
shoulder curb wns soon afterward In
troduced.—Military Mall.
A l.nat Joke,
John D. Ixing. In the Massachusetts
campaign of 1878, was making his first
run for governor ngnlnst General Ben
Butler, who had captured the Demo-'
era tie nomination, and Judge Joslnti 11.
Abbott, who was the candidate of ,tue
old lino Democrats.
The late Judge Thompson was mak
ing a speech for Abbott before a big
Democratic audience and. after'prais
ing the candidate as a Jurist and n
statesman, asked sarcastically, “And
now, who Is this John L-L-Long?” No
one answering, lie proceeded: “They
say he has made a translation of Mo
mor’a 'Iliad!' What g-g-good la that to
us7 All Democrats rend Homer in Un
original.”
At this the person to whom the Judge
was telling the story laughed, but the
Judge continued: "Tb-th-that's uot the
real Joke nt alii TI»e real Joke is that
hot a m-ai-man In the audience so muck
as smiled!”
Where She Differed Proa Paul.
A Scotch clergyman called upon »
parishioner not lung since, an old wom
an who wns not blessed with (finny
virtues, but who possessed u very va
ried assortment of vices, fie took the
latter as a text for a sermon aud spoke
to her at considerable length upon the
subject, concluding with some extracts
from oae of St. Paul's epistles which
ho felt to be apropos.
She didu't speak for several minutes
after he had fiulslied. and ho thought
that be bad made an Impression upon
her at last. He was mistaken, how
ever. for she suddenly turned round
with the remark: “Humph! That's
just where Paul anil 1 have differed
thou* ten years."
The argument was not continued.
HU One Dally Meal.
Dr. George Fordyee, the celebrated
anatomist and lecturer cn chemistry,
used to eat one meal a day and out
meal only, hut It was a mighty one,
washed down with liberal drafts of
wine and beer. At 4 o’clock every day
he used to enter n certain chopliouse
and take bis seat at a table always re
served for him. A -silver tankard con
taining a qunrt of strong ale. a full
bottle of port and a quarter of a pint of
brandy were-plnced before him imme
diately.
The moment the waiter announced
the doctor's arrival the cook put a
pound and a half of rump steak on the
fire, and to while away the time until
the steak should be properly broiled
the waiter brought the doctor some
tempting morsel like a broiled chicken
or a plate of fish. When be had eaten
this, Dr. Fordyee drank half of Ills
brandy and then begnn on his steak
While eating the stenk he drank the
tankard of ale and after that the real
of the ifrandy. The waiter then un
corked the bottle of port, and the doc
tor proceeded slowly to enjoy It until It
was all gone. lie spent an itour and a
half dally at bis one -meal gFd after It
returned home to glwtfltf* lectures on
chemistry, which are still quoted ns
classics of that science. He nte nothing
else until the next day. when he re
turned at the same hour to the same
ebopbouse for the saute sort of n meal
Dr. Fordyee lived to bejjlxt.v-slx years
old and kept up tils one meal custom to
the last.

Why the Joke Pell Plot.
A big. good natural farmer 'wav
awaiting the suburban train, accotn
panted by a handsome-Gordon setter
Two sous of Britain stood near hint
The dog strayed nwny from his owner
who wns reading a newspaper.
“Hey!” called the farmer. "Cotm
here. Locksmith,” and the dog I mine
dlately ran to his feet.
One of the Englishmen approached
the farmer.
“May I ask," he said, "what you
called thnt dog?”
"Locksmith." said the farmer.
“And why, pray?”
"Been use every time I kick him h<
make* a bolt for the door.”
Tlntre was n general laugh. In Wbldh
the Englishman Joined.
When lie returned to his companion
heebmarkt-d:
ASJost extraordinary name that man
over there calls his dog.”
“What?" asked his friend.
/“Locksmith.” replied the first Briton
1 “And why such a name?”
' “Because, he says, every time he
kicks Miu he holts for the door.”—St
Louts Republic.
Tke Weight of Ice.
The Iceman aud the coalman are
often suspected of giving short weights
—maybe ofteuer suspected than guilty;
maybe ofteuer guilty thau suspected
The means of testing the weight of
from ten to thirty pounds of Ice are
not always at hand lu the house, but a
close estimate of the weight cun be
reached by multiplying together the
length, brendth and thickness of the
block In Inches and dividing the prod
uct by thirty. This will give very
closely the weight lu pounds. Thus. If
a block of Ice Is 10 by lit by l). the prod
uct Is 000, nod this divided by thirty
gives thirty pouuds as the correct
weight. A block 10 by 10 by (I weighs
twenty pouuds. This simple method
can be easily applied, and It umy serve
to remove uujust suspicion or to detect
short weights.
Her Prerer.

four-year-old girl who was spending a
night away from homo. At bedtime

her prayers.expecting the usual prompt*

her out. she concluded thus: "IMesse,
God. 'souse nte; I can’t remember my
prayers, and I'm staying with a lady
that don't know any.”
