Tragedy of Childhood.
Nothing Is more despicable than to
deceive a child In any way. Their plas
tic young minds receive and hold Im
pressions that we can never eradicate,
try we ever so hard. In spite of all
the grownups can say the little ones
never feel the same love and respect
for those who have deceived them*
Even careless funmaking may leave
the scar which nothing can quite eradi
cate. Do not break a promise to a
child, and do not lie to It, even In fun,
for the great tragedy of childhood Is
to lose faith.

Losses in Battle.
In the campaign in Italy In 1859
rifles were used on both sides, and the
proportion of casualties to combatants
was at Magenta and Solferlno one
eleventh. In the Franco-Prusslan war,
when both sides were armed with
breech-loading rifles, the average pro
portion of killed and wounded at
Worth, Spicheren, Mars-le-Tour, Grave
lotte, and Sedan was one-ninth, the
heaviest loss being at Mars-le-Tour,
where it was one-sixth, and the small
est at Sedan, where It was one-twelfth.
All-Conquering Energy.
Burton says: "The longer I llveTthe
more I am certuln that the great dif
ference between men—between the
feeble and the powerful, the great and
the Insignificant—ls energy, Invincible
determination—a purpose, once fixed,
and then death or victory! That qual
ity will do anything that can be done
in the world; and no talents, no cir
cumstances, no opportunities, will
make a two-legged creature Q man
without it.”
Onions.
Even now few people perfectly real
ize the beneficial effect that this
vegetable has on the sysr«>m, and It
Is too often Ignored on account of
Its pungency of flavor and smell. A
well-boiled Spanish onion will Induce
sleep when most other things fall,
and on this account alone It should
frequently form a supply dish for the
brain-weary man or woman of busi
ness.
f '
Definition of a Gentleman.
A man that is clean inside and out,
who neither looks up to the rich nor
down on the poor: who can lose with
out squealing, and can win without
bragging; who Is considerate of wom
en, children and old people; who Is too
■brave to lie, too generous to cheat,
and lets other people have theirs.—
Exchange.
Ha&sburg or Hapsburg?
Ilnbsburg, as It Is spelled In the or
iginal German, the name being derived
from the castle of Habsburg, or Hab
lchtsburg (Hawk’s Castle), on the bank
of the Aar, In the Swiss Canton of
Aargau. In this way It Is also spelled
in the Encyclopaedia Brltannlca, but
In this country It is generally spelled
with u "p.”
Had Mania for Horse Hair.
Pulling hairs from the tails of horses
was the charge against a man in Lon
don the other day. He was charged
with having stolen four and a quarter
pounds of horse hair from a livery
company, and the claim was that he
had deliberately pulled this out of
the tails of the company’s horses.
Found guilt?, the man was fined $25.
Suffers in Silence.
The average millionaire knows how
unpopular It Is to he rich, but he goes
right along and endures the painful
'responsibilities of wealth, suffering the
scorn and calumny of a cruel world
In silence, and awaits his vindication
beyond the grave.—Houston Post.
Most Expensive Wood.
The most expensive wood In the
world Is said to be the boxwood Im
ported from Turkey for the use of
engravers. The cost ranges from 4 to
10 cents a square Inch for the best
grade.—Brooklyn Standard-Union.
Why, of Course.
For the first time Buddy saw bouil
lon cups and he wondered why they
had two handles on. His little pal
said, “Huh, don’t you know? When
you break off one handle you can use
the other.”
Roomy.
VI had a wash at the Sailors' home
and let my clothes dry on me. They
were filled up with another ship’s
crew."—Halifax Survivor in New York
Evening Sun.
Easy Thing to Decide.
Any man may know whether he Is
wise or foolish. If he is wise he can
learn something even from a fool. If
he Is a fool’lie won't learn even from
a wise man.
Ever Notice?
Tis love that makes the world go
'round. The days you quarrel with
your sweetheart everything comes .to
a stop.—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Just Pass It On.
Inquisitive people-are the funnels of
conversation; they do not take in any
thing for their own use. but merely to
pass it to another.—Steele.
Optimistic Thought
There never was a night as dark but
what the light of the morrow shone.
