No Tins ever readied that
attainment in knowledge "beyond
which there was nothing more to
learn. . It matters not how much
one may have learned, there still
remains domains of knowledge un
explored by that one; there are
still some things by him unlearned.
But alas! how many there be who
refuse to be convinced of this
fact; how many who presume there
is nothing more demanding their
attention that- is worthy of thought
and study upon their part. This
truth is very pateut among young
er people, they, having not learned
that mankind in general approach
the meridian of life before they
appreciate aright the grand pow
ers, for learning and storing away
knowledge, with which they are
endowed. Nor have they learned
that the more the powers for in
yestigation and research are exer
cised in that direction, the strong
er and more developed they be
come until the physical temple
that supports the mind begins to
wane.
We would cast no reflections,
but the truth is clearly manifest
oftentimes that the young people
assume to know more than the old;
more than fathers and mothers
who have, as it were, led them
. along in lifes journey. To state
more concisely, they presume to
have outstripped the aged in the
race for knowledge and to have
surpassed them in attainments,
and therefore they can afford to
call off from the acquisition of
knowledge and rest. Fatal mis
take; which sometimes leads to fa
tal results. In some directions
young people may have gone be
yond any parental expliots, but
not in the acquisition of that solid
information ar.d knowledge of
things in general from which
come Seal benefits and good re
sults.
Young reader, if you are of that
younger class who think you know
more than father and mother, and
therefore have nothing more to
learn, let us not discorage, but
rather - encourage you, by stating
that you are laboring under a
most terrible delusion, by not yet
having learhed how little you do
know; and that until you shall
have learned this fact you will not
be prepared to use in a right
manner the grand powers for use
fulness With which you are en
dowed.. Think not that there is
naught else for you to learn, and
that school girls and hoys only
are pupils. On the contrary we are
all pupils in the grand school of
experience, and if we -are not ap
plying ourselves unto profitable
lessons from which we can cull in
formation that is valuable, we are
taking in lessons that are unprofit
able, and thereby misapplying our
talents. Those individuals, be
they young or old, who refuse to
be students and are not striving
to acquire knowledge, are failing
of their mission upon this earth,
and are not complying with that
command wherein it is said “and
among all your getting, get wis
dom,” ■ .
Young readers, if you belong to
the “knowing” class, then be not
longer blinded by self-conceit,
but rather be convinced that there
is much, very much, still for you
to learn.
A Buffalo photographer says
that he reads the newspapars care
fully for accounts of fires, explo
sions, wrecks and the like, and
whenever and wherever such a
disaster occurs he goes out with
the landscape camera and makes a
negative of the, scene of the catas
trophe. Some time later he prints
a proof and mails it to the person
financially interested. An order
for one or more photographs inva
riably follows.
Decent developments regarding
the great strike in New York have
brought to light a curious fact.
At the time they quit work some
of the strikers were getting higher
wages than they were ordered to
demand. These stinkers will not
have a very kindly feeling for the
bosses of District Assembly 49,
especially if they fail to get rein
stated in their old places.

Garluiui> Simplicity;
Washington Letter (o Cleveland Leader.
A visitor to his humble home
out on Fourteenth street would
find himself suddenly transported
to some farmer’s domicile. It is a
two-story frame cottage which he
lives in, located close to a market
Wiiei’8 the farmers and butchers
bring in their produce to sell to
the people. In the little room
which the Attorney General uses
as his library or study, and where
he receives his visitors, the furni
ture consists of a deal table, an
old-fashioned rocking-chair, and
one or two other chairs of little
value, unless the sole object be to
furnish a seat for the weaiy so
journer which will not break down
under his weight. On some plain
shelving, and around on the floor
of the room are stored the law
books of the host, this apparently
being the extent of his library. A
soap box, contributed by the gro
cer, serves for the storage of coal
used in keeping up the fire.
The Attorney General does not
live thus plainly for temporary ef
fect among his own people, but
has always done so. He has re
peatedly refused to don a dress
coat or attend a reception of any
kind. He even absented himself
from the Presidential wedding,
rather than mix in anything that
savored of yielding to the exac
tions of society.

The Mistakes of Life.
Somebody has condensed the
mistakes of life, and arrived at the
conclusion that there are fourteen
of them. Mostfpeople’would say,
if they told the truth, there was
no limit to the mistakes of life;
that they were like the drops in
the ocean, - or the sands of the
shore in numbers, but it is well to
be accurate. Here, then, are four
teen great mistakes: It is a great
mistake to' set up our own stand
ard of right and wrong, and judge
people accordingly ;~to measure the
enjoyment of others by our own;
to expect uniformity of opinion in
this world; to look for judgment
and experience in yonth; to en
deavor to mold all dispositions
alike; not to yield to immaterial
trifles; to look for perfection in
our own actions; to worry ourselves
or others with what cannot be rem
edied, and not to alleviate all that
needs alleviation as far as lies in
our power; not to make allowance
for the infirmities of others; to
consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform; to believe
Only what our finite minds can
grasp; to expect to be able to un
derstand everything.
The accounts of recent mid-win
ter thunder storms in Missouri
show that the elective r fluid was
paftiularly energetic. Near Don
iphan it struck two trees, barked
them clear to the ground, and set
one of them on fire near the
ground, and by morning it waB
nearly burned down. It also
broke a large glass in a door, kill
ed a shote, then jumped to a tele
phone wire and ran along the wire
to a residence and knocked off
some of the 'weather-boarding,
shivered two or three studding,
and loosened two or planks of the
floor. The wire was melted and
destroyed almost its entire length.
Miss Mary Mason, who was sleep
ing near a telephone transmitter,
had one arm blistered and was
badly stunned.
Thirty-three years ago J. M.
Burns, of Burlington, Kan., walk
ing along a railroad track, caught
his foot on a splinter of a rail. The
wound bled profusely, but soon
healed, leaving the foot slightly
sore. Recently the foot pained
him, and a hard substance was dis
covered just under the skin be
tween the fourth and small toe,
where the foot had been injured
Mur. Burns paid but little atten
tion to it until he saw that the
hard substance had protruded
about a quarter of an inch, where
upon he jerked it out ana found it
to be a piece of railroad iron one
inch in length.
Wiiat Can Be Done-.
By trying again and keeping up
courage many things seemingly
impossible may be attained. Hun
dreds of hopeless cases of Kidney
and Liver complaint have been

every thing else bad been tried in

cure for you, but try Electric Bit
