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. When we see a boy who has Just se- •jy^'cd a position take bold of every- n with both hands and “Jump sue * ,0to bl* work” ns If he meant to tve Vhave confidence that he P^OMlait ' Rn# if lw> atdkrwlu iii'/inn/l and anytb| B .

There s no place In tills century for the lazy clmnn. He will be pushed to the wall.— ' 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. Professional Cards G. R AUSTIN. 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. Tlte Buffalo Nows tells a story of a four-year-old girl who was spending a night away from homo. At bedtime the knelt at her hostess’ knees to say her prayers.expecting the usual prompt* lug. Finding Mrs. B. unable to help 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.” Freer* Hallways.
