I have learned
This doctrine from the vanishing of youth.
The pictured primer, true, is thrown aside;
But its first lesson liveth- in my heart,
I shall go on through all eternity.
Thank Odd, I only am an embyro still;
The small beginnipg of a glorious soul.
An atom that shall fill immensity.

GOLD LEAF SIGNS.
How the Secret of Making Gold heal
Stick to the Glass ‘Was Discovered.
“The reason that so many gold leaf
.signs on glass rub off,” said a painter as
he paused in putting some gold leaf on a
sign, “is that people don’t pay enough
for the work. If you look at the gold
leaf above the door of the Merchants’
National bank you will find it as good as
when it was put on in 1873. The best
signs are those in the railroad wiridows in
Broadway. They were done by George
H. McCarthy, the most expert man in
the business. Those signs done right
along, without waiting for ‘each portion
to thoroughly dry and harden, are al
ways poorly done.”
“How is the work done on glass?”
“The glass is first moistened with a
size made of isinglass dissolved in hot
water. The gold leaf sticks to that. Let
ters are then perfectly formed -on the
back of the gold in varnish. When the
varnish is dry we wipe off the gold with
a piece of wet cotton. Then it is shaded,
and then varnished again to preserve it.
Good work, which people get when they
pay for it, allows full time for each of
these processes. ’ ’
. “Is there any secret about the size of
isinglass?’ ’
“There isn't now. It used to be a
very close secret. It was brought here
in 1850 by an Englishman named Hale.
He used to do up the signs in a style
that American painters couldn’t touch.
They tried their best to discover the
secret of the size he used, but couldn’t
catch him. Other Englishmen came
over,. and they had all the good
gold leaf business to themselves. I
was working as an apprentice of 13
in 1856 for John McCarthy, who had the
secret. Every time he wanted to mix
the size he would send me out to buy an
egg and to get a piece o? charcoal. Then
he would send me up stairs. One day I
got the egg and charcoal and went up
stairs os usual. I had a hole in the floor
' over the stove, and I went one eye on
him. He put the charcoal in the stove
and burned it Then he cracked and
sucked the egg. Next he took out of his
pocket a little paper and poured out of it
something white into the water. After I
had come down stairs and he had gone
out I looked around on the floor and
found some white threads of something,
I didn’t know what. I concluded to go
to the druggist’s where he bought it.
There I asked for twenty-five cents’
worth of it, and told the clerk I didn’t
know the name.
“ ‘Isinglass you mean,’ he said.
“So he put it up, and I mixed some
size. One day I was working away mak
ing some gold letters on glass myself, and
in comes McCarthy. He looked at me
pretty sharp and said:
“ ‘Where did you get that size?’
“ ‘Oh, I got an egg and run tire white
through a piece of charcoal to clarify it, ’
I replied.
“He didn't say another word. I gave
away the secret and practically ran the
Englishmen out, for the’Americans can
work faster than they.”—New York
Evening Sun.
The Air of "Jotm Brown’s Body.
You were pleased to publish, a few
days ago. a communication from me on
the subject of the genesis of the song of
“John ‘Brown. ” That of the air to which
it is sung is also very interesting, and
belongs to a complete history of the
“Maraeillase” of the emancipation.
Though adapted to a Methodist hymn, it
appears in the beginning to have been
some kind of a voudoo song and may be
possibly of purely negro origin. Lieut.
Chandler, in an article on Sherman’s
march to the sea, says that during a halt
at Shady Dale, in Georgia, the (Federal)
band struck up “John Brown’s body lies
moldering in the grave.” Great was
the amazement of the soldiers to see a
number of negro girls come out one by
one from the deserted houses, and, form
ing a circle round the band, dance in a
grave and dignified manner without
smiling, as if in some kind of a magical
or religious ceremony. The dance over
they disappeared. The 'hand played
other airs, but the girls did not reappear;
and their modest and earnest deportment
on this occasion made an impression on
the spectator. Inquiry of an old negro
woman elicited the fact that the air was
known as “the wedding tune,” that it
liad no connection with hymns or songs,
and that the colored girls all believed
that they must dance whenever they
heard it played or that they would never
lie married. The words and name of
“John Brown’s Body” were as yet un
known to every one then, in that obscure
corner of the south. ‘'I was convinced,”
6ays the writer, “that the tune was older
where the words were unknown than
where they were familiar.”
I can only add that there are yet in ex
istence in the United States several voudoo
airs and dances, and that one .of the most
accomplished ladies whom I ever met had
learned something of them. It is very
probable, as I have already suggested,
that in its origin “John Brown” belongs
to this “mysterious music.”—Charles G.
Leland in St. James’ Gazette.
▲ Study of She.
Tids Bit*.
The more we study She the more-we
don’t understand how it is that She is
able to twist us around her little finger
whenever She feels like it. But She is.
For whom is it that in childhood’s hap
py days we fight with a boy three sizes
larger than ourselves, and get so se
verely punished that we can’t sit up for
a week ? Why, for She—and She only
laughs at us for our pains.
Who is it that devours all ^our spare
change in the shape of caramels, and
calls for more and gets them, too?
She.
For whom do we linger at stage doors
with ten dollar bouquets, to purchase
which we have to endure a fortnight’s
martyrdom at free lunch counters?
She.
Who is it that at the railroad restau
rant deals out the soul-destroying sand
wich and the death-dealing doughnut?
Tis She every time. If it were a He

Who accepts our hard-earned gold on
the pretense of being a first-class cook,
and then broils our steak in a frying-

Who is it that accepts our theatre
tickets, our $8 suppers, our bouquets
and our devotion, and then goes off
and marries another fellow ? She—and
for this we ought to forgive her a good
deal.
Who, we ask, is it that, when we em

A Brutal Ruler.
Rosas, for many years dictator of the
Argentine states, was a capricious tyrant,
who turned the republic into a slaughter
shed. He once invited a number of In
dian chiefs to meet him in council at
Buenos Ayres. After parading them with
mock honors through the streets of the
city, he had them brought under the
portico of the cathedral, where a number
of gibbets stood ready. In a moment the
chiefs were seized, bound and run up,
and their bodies were left dangling in the
air.
He once played an ape like trick on the
British minister, Mr. Mandeville, whom
the tyrant feared and hated. One of the
favorite dishes of the people is maza-
morra, which is made from maize crushed
in a mortar. Roses was expecting the
minister to visit him one evening at his
country house. As the hour arrived
Hanuelita, his beautiful daughter, actiug
on her father’s orders, stood on the
veranda, pounding maize.
The Englishman, finding her thus en
gaged in menial labor and showing signs
of fatigue, courteously offered to relieve
her. After faintly declining, she allowed
him to pound the yoaize, when suddenly
Rosas, who had been watching, appeared
on the veranda accompanied by a train
of courtiers. His object had been to
show to them the envoy of England en
gaged in servile labor under the roof of
the dictator.—Youth’s Companion.
Three Sort* of Bore.
In one of his novelB Tolstoi dismisses
for the time being the love felt by a
young man for a young girl, or vice
versa—attachments which he says always
fill him with dismay—and proceeds to
divide love—by which he means love felt
by a human creature for other human
features—into three kinds—elegant love,
evoted love, and active love. The first
he defines as consisting in being enamored
of the beauty of the sentiment which one
experiences, and of a complacent satisfac
tion in the expression of it.
“In my country,” he goes on, “people
of a certain class, who love in this ele
gant fashion, are not content to speak of
it to everybody; they always speak of it
in French. It is an absurd and grotesque
thing to say; but I am convinced that
there have been, and are—in a certain
circle—many persons, especially women,
in whom the love they feel for friends,
husband, and children would cease the
moment it was forbidden to be expressed
in French.” Devoted love consists, on
the other hand, in loving the operation
of the sacrifice one makes in behalf of
the beloved object, without troubling
one’s self in the least to ascertain whether
the beloved object will find him .or herself
the better or worse for iL This sort of
love is analyzed and illustrated with as
tonishing penetration; the truth with
which the author points out the jealousy
and the harassing nature of this love
being at times almost painful. Thirdly,
and finally, active love consists in
vehement desire to satisfy all the needs,
wants, caprices, reasonable and unreason
able, of the beloved one.
Even the faults of the beloved are dear
to those possessed by this love, inasmuch
as they furnish further needs to be 6atis
fied. “Such persons,” he adds, “rarely
express their k>ve in words, and if they
do so it is awkwardly and shyly ex
pressed, for they are always afraid of not
loving enough.”—London Society.
In Brief, anil to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad oookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green’s August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo
ple so healthy that they can enjoy tneir
meals and be happy.
Remember:—No happiness without
health. But Green’s August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys
peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.

Wlwt • Smell Boy Can Do.
It appears impossible to predict what
the average small boy will do under
almost any given circumstances if he has
an opportunity to work mischief. The
following story from Pilot Point, Tex.
serves to illustrate the point taken: New
ton Tabor was digging a well. To blast
out the rock he used dynamite inclosed in
small metallic oapsules. In the course of
his operations he deposited an open box
of these dangerous capsules at the root of
a tree near where he was working,
ladder leaning against the tree reached
up to a mocking bird's nest containing a
young brood. His 10-year-old son Dick,
with a couple of the capsules in his hand
ascended the ladder, and discovering the
young hirds with distended mouths, boy
like, dropped the capsules, one at a time,
in one bird’s mouth. They forthwith
disappeared in the bird’s craw. This
rendered the bird uncomfortable, and in
a struggle for relief it fell from the nest,
Upon striking the ground an explosion oc
curved which tore up the earth, dumped
a quantity of the loose dirt, and the frag
ments of rock piled around into the well
and came near killing Mr. Tabor, who was
working down below. The boy fell from
the ladder and was badly hurt, suffering
the fracture of some bones. This shows
what a boy will do when he gets a chance
