THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDE& St/NDAY, JUNE 14, 1891. 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. Pleasant.

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.

See?” “An extraordinary escape, truly—per haps an isolated case. Bnt I should think he would be liable to take cold from the draught through the hole in his body." “Not at all! You ace, the winter cli mate here ia so dry that” "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. . ep .
