PROUD r-" HIS WORK.
J Aa Old Seal
■5 - Pride In II
‘ ■ Dr. a W. 1
Scotch Profeeeor U'ho Took
Ola labor u a Mechanic.
. Richardson, of Loudon, in
sn address to workingmen nt the con
gress of the Sanitary institute of Great
Britain, declared that "Work, manual
work—and that, too, of a resolute kind
—U absolutely necessary for every man.
He spoke also of the importance of do
ing one’s work, not merely to get it
done, but with a feeling of pride in do
ing it well. In this connection lie said:
I wa* invited not many years ago to
lectnre at 8t Andrew's university and
to listen in the evening to a lecture l,v
another man, like myself, an outsider.
I was not personally acquainted with
this other man. bnt I knew that he filled
an important judicial office in Scotland,
and was considered one of the most abb
and learned, as well as one of the witti
eat, men in the country.
He chose for his subject “Self Cult
tue," and for an hour held us in a perfect
dream of pleasure. For my own part I
could not realize that the hour had fled.
The lectnre ended at 7 o'clock, and at H
1 found myself seated at dinner by the
side of the lecturer at the house of one of
the university professors. In the course
of the dinner I made some reference to
the hall in which the exercises of the
day had been held—how good it was for
sound and what a fine structure to look
upon.
"And did you like the way in which
the stones were laid inside?" asked my
new friend.
“Immensely," I replied. “The man
who laid those stones was an artist who
most have thonght that his work would
live throngh the ages.”
"Well, that is pleasant to hear,” he
said, “for the walls aremyoin doing."
He had the Scotch accent when he was
in earnest.
"Fortunate man,” I replied, "to have
the means to build so fine a place," for i
thought, naturally enough, that being n
rich man he had built this hall at hie
own expense and presented it to the uni
versity.
“Fortunate, truly,"he answered, “but
not in that sense. What I mean is that
I laid every one of those stones with my
ain hand. I was a working mason, and
the builder of the lrnll gave me the job
of laying the inside stone work, and 1
never had any job in my life in which 1
took so much pride nnd so much pleas
ure."
That workman still lives, and is one
of the heads of the university. While he
was working with bis hands he was
working also with bis brain. He took
his degree, went to the bar, and now he
is a man honored throughout the conn
try-
Bnt I refer to him here only ns the
mason at his work, proud of his labor.
That man bod the idea of the paradise.
It sweetened his work; it made it great.
We applauded his brilliant lecture, but
those silent, beautiful stones before him,
which echoed our applause, must. I think,
have been to him one cheer more, and a
big one.
Changes In Nsw York.
“Only fancy," said a stately and
charming representative of one of New
York’s oldest families at adinner,“when
I was a young girl in New York 1 knew
personally every one who kept a car
riage." This seemed almost incredible,
as the speaker did not seem much past
middle age herself, althongh. of course,
the time to which she referred had to lie
left politely to surmise. “And now,"
she went on,“most of my intimates do
not keep horses at all; in fact I may say
that nowadays I do not know any of the
people who do keep carriages. Quite an
Inverse ratio, is it not?" she concluded
with a laugh and a sigh. When one
considers the vast size of Now York nnd
the countless number of handsome
equipages that crowd Fifth avenue and
Central park, it seems odd that one indi
vidual could have noted jiersoually so
many changes in th» conditions of the
citizens of this great metropolis.—New
York Tribune.
Thr Blame for Dirty Streets.
A walk in the principal streets and
nvenae* front 7 to 9 o'clock in the morn
ing will convince the observer that,
wliatever the shortcomings of the street
cleaning department, storekeepers and
housekeepers are primarily nml incident
ally responsible for dirty streets by
allowiug their employes to sweep into
the streets the dost of their houses or
stores, and the dirt and refuse found
upon the sidewalk.
If the walk is exteuded to the tenement
house districts at any hour of the day it
will be noticed that it is quite the custom
to throw ashes and garbage into the
streets, and to allow these materials to
escape into the street or npou the side
walk from insufficient, improper or over
flowing receptacles. It will also be no
ticed that soon after a street has been
cleaned it is again defiled by the refuse
and garbage from the neighboring build
ings, and that the carts which transport
street dirt, ashes and garbage, sand for
new buildings, earth from cellar excava
tions and the dust and dirt from build
ings torn down, scatter some part of their
contents into the street as they proceed
to their destination.
A student of the problem of street
cleaning has only to make the above ob
servations to learn the primary cause of
dirty streets in New York, and that
without a thorough reform in this par
ticular relief is well nigh hopeless. This
simple solution of the problem is only
the application to the streets of the fa
miliar rules which govern every well
regulated household. Can a house lie
clean if the members of the family
throw waste paper and other refuse on
the floors, and ignore the waste basket
and the enspidore; and how many times
a day must the floors of the house be
swept if such a practice is tolerated?—
General Emmons Clark in Popular .Sci
ence Monthly.
LEMON ELIXIR.
Small Fortune* for Flowers.
The most expensive dinner decoration
I ever had charge of was on the occasion
of a banquet given to General Cutting,
at Delmonico's. The whole ontlay for
flowers alone was £1,000. But even this
does not npproach (he lavish extrava
gance of the Roman Emperor Nero,
who gnvo a feast where $100,000 was
spent in roses alone.
For a dinner of twelve people it is an
ordinary tiling to spend from $30 to
$300 upon flowers. For a banquet $1,000
.to $1,000 is usually laid out. Bat these
latter outlays are seldom made, because
of the iufreqnency of large dinners.
One hundred and fifty dollars is an ex-
penditure of every day occurrence. In
the large cities like New York it is a
common tiling for wealthy people to
spend from $100 to $300 a week in flow
ers, exclusively for lioine use. Where
do they put all these flowers, yon ask?
Yon are wrong if you think there is a
large quantity of flowers. Whenever 1
have been asked to deviate a house or
furnish flowers for daily use I have se
lected quality rather than quantity.
Among wealthy people, the choicest
flowers for the dinner table are orchids.
These flowers exhibit a remarkable vari
ation; in fact, it is difficult in some s|iecics
to find two flowers exactly alike in size
ind color. A boutonniere for the gen
tlemen should bo made of a “Philanop-
lis," and almnt three "Cntalyas" tied
with a cluster of narrow ribbons to
match, for the ladies. Tills is the most
beautiful manner of table decoration, if
well nrrnnged and properly carried out.
But it is also the most expensive.—C. F.
Klunder in Ladies' Homo Journal.

“Curious winter phenomena we have
here,” remarked the St. Paulite to the
visitor from St. Louis. “You notice that
icicle np there on the cornice of that
eight story building? Should say itwas
ten feet loug. Well, this very morning
'one just like that dropped aa Sam Bones
waa passing, and the point struck him
square on the top of the head. It went
throngh him like a shot and pinned him
to the sidewalk, bolt upright and stiff os

“An extraordinary escape, truly—per

think he would be liable to take cold
from the draught through the hole in his
body."

"Bosh!"—Nature’s Realm.
It is a great mistake to imagine that
saerrss without effort will ever make a
mao or a woman happy. What we
oesaa to strive tor ceases to he a success,
and gradually becomes more and more
WortMeao. Suppose the same wages to
be- paid for nothing that are now ren
dered for skill and energy and persever
ing work, or the same applause to be
showered on the mere trifler that is now
given to the public benefactor, conld
they poaaibly kindle the same joy in the
heart of the receiver that they do nmv?
They would mean nothing, stand for
uothing and shortly would be uothing.—
New York Ledger.
Boyllks Answers.
“What comes next to man in the scale
of being?” inquired an examiner. -His
shirt,” was the reply. Asked to give the
distinction, if any, between a fort aud a
fortress, a boy nicely defined them: “A
fort is a place to put men in, nnd u fort
ress is a place to put women in." On
being asked what the chief end of man
was, another bey, without any hesita
tion, said, “The end what’s got his head
on.”—Cassell's Journal.
You Can Tell a Man from ills Walk.
We huve professors who offer to read
our characters by ottr handwriting, by
the lines on our faces, our expressions,
onr voices nnd wlint not. It is u little
absurd, considering what dissemblers
nature lias put it in onr power to bo.
Yon can tell much more about a man
from his walk. To begin with, after suf
ficient practice, you may determfna his
profession—which ia more than the ca-
iigrnphy interpreters dare pretend to,
and afterward yon may make a fair esti
mate of the nature of the man.
I have read a tale In which, somewhat
wickedly, n bishop was introduced into
an establishment of Tnrkish baths,
whence his episcopal clothes were pur
loined by another bather, who left a
plebeian suit of loud check for his lord
ship. The bishop mode a great outcry,
bnt he conld not convince the proprietor
of the baths that he was really the bishop
and not the other man. It was a heart
rending aitnution for the bishop, and
eventnaily he had to retire in the suit of
plebeian check, much humiliated.
Now if only the bath proprietor lind
been a man u> talent, lie might in a
moment hare seen that the bishop was
worthy of better fortunes than the check
suit implied. He should hare usked him
*c walk unaffectedly once np and down
his largest room. An episcopal walk i.
no ordinary ope. It would have declared
him at once.—All the Year Round.

be a preventive against the evil. It is
