KNOWLEDGE
IS NOT WISDOM.
sjjj| IS DOM is knowledge put
itS to practice. This is the
best definition to the word
wo know. There are many men
who have knowledge but are not
wise.
A man may bo learned in the
sciences, arts, trades, professions,
but if he does not exert his know
le Ige unto wisdom what beneiit
dojj ho derive
Oftimes we see persons of groat
knowledge act and do very foolish
t'aiags—the wisdom is lacking.
Edgar Allen Poe, one of the
greatest intellects ever known,
dij I a drunkard in tho gutter,
llis knowledge lacked tho great
est essential of making him a
gu'aat man.
Man cannot be perfect, but
thoie who have exercised their
t dents unto wisdom cannot fail
bat to succeed. We, therefore,
caution yon to bo wise.
<)n the tribunals of our courts
of justice we endeavor to seat men
who have knowledge, are honest,
sincere and consequently should
be wise to their ability. Like
wise, wo should nominate and
elect associates of like character.
If the office of Associate Judge
i • of any consequence it is our
duty to see that some good, hon
est, straightforward man be nom
inated on the Democratic ticket
for this Fall's election ; if the of
fice counts for naught, why not
endeavor to abolish it
There is one person now an
nounced for that elevated position
on our ticket, and we regret to
say is not a tit or capable candi
date for tho same. lie may ('.)
have kno\Wcdge but lacks wisdom.
For more than ono year we know
of a case in which he deliberately
insists in subjecting himself to
the ravages of the law, and, as
tho publisher of tho representa
tive comity paper, wo doom it
our duty to say that whether tho
man is honest or not he is IN
CAPABLE of serving us. If he
is honest (! i he is TOO careless to
care for our county's needs.

VACANT HOMES.
Kor For Kent.
"Do you know that there are several
hundred houses In Philadelphia the
owners of which keep them idle be

of the family?" an Id n real estate deal

"In the territory where I do much
business I can show you fifty houses
that huve been Idle from one to ten
years that you cannot rent for love or
money. Many of them were deserted

the family and were left completely

house, I understand, still contains the
beautiful furnishings it possessed when
the family moved away. In fact, you
can see the lace curtains at some of
the windows. They have been turned

referred to unless poverty forces such
families to dispose of them. Death
alone holds the key of entrance."—

DOUGLAS JERROLD.
Sumo of (lie Caustic Itetnrts Made by
the FUIIIOUN Wit.
When a prosy old bore stopped Doug
las Jerroki who WAS hurrying on ur
gent business along Regent street, with
the question, "Well, Jerrohl, my dear
boy, what is going on?" "I am!" retort
ed Jerrold, shooting past like au arrow
from a bow.
Asked to contribute to a third sub
scription which was being got up for !
a reckless (.rub street writer, Jerrold
cried Impatiently, "llow much does the j
fellow want tills time?" "Well, this j
time I think Just four and two naughts
will put him straight." "Put me down
for one of the naughts!"
A lawyer, replying to the toast of his
health drunk at a dinner of artists,
Btammered out that he did not expect
the honor, as law could hardly be con
sidered one of the arts, whereupon Jer
rold Interject eel one word only. "Black!"
A clergyman who was indecorously
and uncharitably denouncing the poor
for the number of children they bred
wound up with the opinion that the
real evil of the times was"the surplus
population." Jerrold nodded a hearty
assent. "Certainly, the surplice popula
tion!"
"There's one song in the Prodlgue,"
cried a musical bore to Jerrold, "which
always carries me away." "Would I
could sing it!" ejaculated Jerrold.
BREAKING OF THE VOICE.
It Ih Canned liy an Organic Chftnfe
In the Larynx.
The peculiar physiological causes of
what is called the breaking of the voice
are not quite understood, but it is
known to depend Immediately upon an
organic change in the larynx, the organ
of the voice, which occurs In the male
sex between the ages of fourteen and
sixteen. Before that the larynx of
boys resembles that of girls, but when
the voice begins to break the vocal
chords become lengthened at least one
third, the angle of the thyroid cartilage
becomes enlarged, and the muscles
which connect the organs of the voice
with the liypold bone and the base of
the tongue become elongated.
While the change of form Is taking
place the voice Is unlltted for singing
and should be used only with great
care. In other words, the brcakiug
of the voice is due to the rapid de
velopment of the larynx, which takes
place at certain ages and which leads
to a change In the range of the voice.
The peculiar harshness of the voice
when it Is thus breaking soems to be
due to a temporary congestion and
swollen condition of the mucous mem
brane of the vocal chords accompany
ing the active growth of the whole
larynx.
ENGLISH CRIMINAL LAW.
The Difference net ween Hard Labor
nnd I'enul Servitude.
The difference in Great Britain be
tween hard labor and penal servitude
Is one of period and treatment. Hard
labor varies as to period from a few
days to two years, and however well a
prisoner behaves himself the sentence
is never shortened. There are two
classes of hard labor.
In the lirst class the punishment ad
ministered consists of six to ten hour?'
work at the treadmill, the crauk or the
capstan, or at stonebreaking or shot
drill. In the secoud class the hard la
bor really consists of such punishments
as may be decided by the Justices in
session.
Penal servitude Is the modern sub
stitute for transportation beyond the
seas.
A term of penal servitude begins
with nine months' hard labor in a
probationary prison, and after that the
convict is employed on public works
iu a penal settlement. The work is
comparatively light, and In most pris
ons a well behaved man gets off pretty
easily. In addition to this, by virtuo
of a system of marks for good be
havior. lie has always before him the
possibility of reducing his sentence by
at most about one year in live.
AN ODD PUZZLE.
Tue Cryptic Inncrlption That Orna
ment N a SWINM Church.
A picturesque tower Is the oldest
part of the Swiss church at Champery,
a village which lies in a valley under
the shadow of the towering Dent du
Midi.
Dedicated to St. Theodule, this church
was built in 172ti on the site of an an
cient chapel. The tower, with its
unique pierced crown, carries a gilt
statuette of the patron saint, a quaint
old clock and the following cryptic In
scription, which has puzzled many
travelers:

feeding forty il.i.vs will be wet, and If,
011 the contrary, St. Bwlthln's day Iw

days will likewise lie pleasant. The su
perstition is venerable, till* one I), his
torian remarks that "St. BwiiUUi, a
holy bishop of Winchester, about the
year 8(!0 was called the weeping St.
Swlthiu, for that about his feast Prao
■epe and Aselll. rainy constellations,
arise cosmleally and couimouly cause
rain." I
Another version of the story Is th:it ,
the good bishop left orders at his death ,
that he should be buried In the open I
churchyard and not In the chancel. I
The luonks. however, disobeyed the
wishes of their dead and laid him to ,
rest on July 15 •vitliiu the minster, ,
whereupon rain fell heavily and coil- !

hastened to fulfill their dead bishops

accuracy of the whole tale. The ilgurea

A PAINTER'S ARTIFICE.
Tlif Secret ul the Color In On* of
Turner's Pictures.
The late Mr. llorsley, R. A., has re
corded that at one time he studied al
most daily one of Turner's tinest water
colors, called "The Snoxvdou ltange."
admiring especially the tender wariMth
of the light clouds encircling the moon.
He tried all sorts of glasses to see if he
could discover how the particular glow
was gained, but without success.
Chance reveuled the secret. The pic
ture began to buckle from Its mount,
and Its owner. Sir Seymour linden,
put It Into the hands of a noted expert
to be remounted. When ho had suc
cessfully removed it from its old mount
the expert sent for the owner to show
him what he had discovered. A circle
of orange vermilion had been plastered
on the back with an Ivory palette knife
where the artist wanted the effect and
then worked off sulllciently far through
the pores of the previously wetted pa
per to give the show of color, while re
taining the smooth surface, without a
trace of workmanship on the right
side.
This may have led Mr. llorsley him
self to use, as he did, brilliant orauge ,
as the foundation for a white muslin
dress.
THE CHRYSANTHEMUM.
The lirst chrysanthemum show was
held In Norwich, England, In 1821).
The Philadelphia Horticultural socie
ty held the lirst chrysanthemum show
in the United States in 1883.
The lirst chrysanthemums brought to
Kurope were taken from China by skip
pers of the tea tradlug ships.
After the chrysanthemum Is potted
leave it for a little time In the shade.
Then give it all the sun that Is possible.
The chrysanthemum was Introduced
Into England 200 years ago from Chl
ua. It was grown lirst in Holland aft
er its emigration.
The chrysanthemum is one of the
easiest of garden (lowers to grow, but
It needs careful tending after it is
brought into the house In pots when
the frost comes.
The Chanfte of u Name.
How family names change In the
course of many years Is Illustrated by
the conversion of "Botevlle" Into
"Thynne." An English deed bearing
date In the closing days of the fifteenth
century shows three brothers then
flourishing—John Botevlle of Botevlle
and Thomas and William Botevlle.
The trio are distinguished from all oth
er ltotevlles by the explanation "of the
Inne," or family residence, the title to
which had come to their Joint posses
sion. John's grandson was known as
Ralph Botevlle-of-the-Ir.r.e, from which
the transition to Italph Tliynne Is easy.

WAR CORRESPONDENTS.
Some of Their Famous Feats of I'hya
leal Endurance.
i One of the finest achievements of n
I war correspondent was that of Ilolt
] White, a representative of the New
York Tribune, in the Franco-Prussian
war. He witnessed the battle of Sedan
from the Prussian headquarters on
Thursday, Sept. 1, 1870. At its conclu
sion he rode to Brussels, but there the
: postoflice authorities refused to trans
mit his dispatch to London and even
threatened to arrest him for saying
that the French laid been defeated. He
then went onto Calais, crossed to lio
ver by special steamer and took a spe
cial train to London, where he arrived
at 5 o'clock on Saturday morning. Next
day there was a description of the bat
tie six columns long In the Tribune. It
was not till Tuesday that the London
uewspapers had accounts of the con
flict from their correspondents.
But the most famous deed of physic
ftl endurance in the race for news be
tween war correspondents was told of
Archibald Forbes, lu the Servian wai
of 1870 Semlln, tlie nearest telegraph
station, was I*2o miles distant from the
scene of the battle. So soon as Forbes
knew the result he rode off, and all
night long he kept at a gallop, chang
lug horses every fifteen nillesx At Sem
liu he had one long drink of beer and
then at once sat down to the task of
writing, hour after hour, against time
the tidings of which he was the bearer
After he had written the story of the
battle and put it on the wires he lay
down In his clothes and slept twenty
hours without waking. He had wit
nesHed the battle, which lasted sli
j hours; ridden 11!0 miles and written
and dispatched a telegraphic message
four coluinus in length to the Daily
News, all in the space of thirty hours.—

Ilnatjr Observations.
Some years ago an authoress of con
siderable note was entering a place of
public entertainment when the sound
of her own name uttered by a group
Just In front of her attracted hor at
tention. and she discovered that a gen
tleman In the company of several la
dies was pointing out unother lkdy at
some distance to his companions as
herself.
"Oh, dear, she's not at all pretty!"
said one of the ladles, putting up her
opera glass.
"Quite vulgar looking," said another,
adusting hers to a belter focus.
"So dreadfully masculine," added a
third. "Any one might guess she was
a blucsLicking. 1 pity fcer husband, 1
declare. 4 '
"She is masculine," said the gentle
man complacently, pleased to have In
terested Ills companions. "You can see
that even from here. But you can't
appreciate her ugliness without seeing
her full fn#e. She has a most ap
palling squint."
The authoress In question, who was
neither masculine nor ugly nor afflict*
ed with a squint, had sense of humor
enough to enjoy the situation.
Little :f(tria ITdjceworth.
Backboards, Iron collars and dumb
bells were the ordinary calisthenlc ap
purtenances in boarding schools for
young ladles iu 1770, übout the time
when Maria Edgeworth was a school
girl. In a biography of the first great
Irish novelist Hon. Emily Lawless says
that these devices were not deemed
sufficient in Maria's case. For her
special benefit one more had to be add
ed, one which even the Judicious fam
ily biographer seems to have regarded
as rather severe. When she was four
teen years old her shortness was ob
served with no little disapproval by
the members of her family. The Edge
worths had always been a well grown
race, and her lack both of height and
of good looks was a blot on the repu
tation of the family. To obviate one
of her deficiencies not only were all
the usual exercises resorted to, but
also one which Mrs. Edgeworth her
self characterized as "unusual"—that,
namely, of "being swung by the neck !
to draw out the muscles nud so in
crease the growth." Unfortunately it
was of no avail. Short she was and
short she was destined to be.—Youth's
Companion.
He Wm Ills Diva Grandfather.
Of all genealogical curiosities the one
set forth below is probably the oddest—
a singular piece of reasoning to prove
Unit a man may be his own grandfather!
Here It Is: There was a widow (Anne; (
and her daughter (Jane) and a man
(George) and his son (Henry). This
widow married the son, nud the daugh
ter married the father. The widow was
therefore mother (In law) to her hus
band's father and grandmother to her
own husband. By this husband she
had a son (David), to whom she was, of
course, groat-grand mother. Now, the
son of a g"eatt-grandmother must be
grandfather or grnnduiiclc to the per
[ son to whom his mother was or !•
great-grand mother, but in this instance
i Anne was great-grauduiother to him
(David); therefore David could not be
other than his own grandfather.
Prodigality of Life In Ancient Egypt.
The reckless prodigality with which
In ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandered away the labor and lives
of the people is perfectly startling. In
this respect, as the monuments yet re
maining abundantly prove, they stand
alone and without a rival. We may
form some idea of the almost incred
ible waste when we hear that 2,000
men were occupied for three years In
carrying a single stone from Elephan
tine to Sais, that the canal of the Red
sea alone cost the lives of 120,000
Egyptians and that to build one of the
pyramids required the labor of 3b0,000
men fo*- tweuty years.

Do you want to live where the climate is mild the year round—
where labor is never oppressed by stress of weather, and where
animal vitality is never lost by mere conflict with cold?
Do you want to live in a region where the resources are more
varied than in any other equal area in the world, where the division
of great ranches affords a fine opportunity to get a small farm that
will assure you a competence?
Do you want to live where, with a minimum of labor, you can
grow profitable crops of grapes and small fruit, oranges, lemons,
olives, prunes and almonds, alfalfa and grain, where crops are sure,
business is good and capital easily finds profitable investment?
Then go to California, where both health and opportunity await

ot over forty centuries of so called
"progress." They were well acquaint
ed with the art of staining glass and
are known to have produced that com
modity In great profusion and perfec
tion. ltossellini gives an illustration
of a piece of stained glass known to
be 4,000 years old which displayed ar
tistic taste of high order, both in tint
and design.
In thin case the color is struck
through the vitrified structure, and he
mentions designs struck entirely in
pieces from a half to three-quarters of
an inch thick, the color being perfectly
incorporated with the structure of the
piece and exactly the same on both the
obverse and reverse sides.
The priests of P'tah at Memphis
were adepts in the glassmaker's art,
and not only did they have factories
for manufacturing the common crystal
variety, but they had learned the vitri
fying of the different colors and of im
itating precious stones to perfection.
Their Imitations of the amethyst and
of the various other colored gems were
so true to nature that even now, after
they have lain in the desert sands from
2,000 to 4,000 years, it takes an expert
to distinguish the geuuine articles from
the spurious. It has been shown that.
IK*: being experts In glassmaking
and coloring, they also used the dia
mond in cutting and engraving. In
the British museum there' is a beauti
ful piece of stained glass with an en
graved emblazonment of the monarch
Thotlimes 111., who lived 3.400 years
ago.

Lies of the White Kind.
The whole fabric of social Inter
course is interwoven with what would
be lies according to a strict code. Some
are pleasant fictions that deceive no*
body. Most of them have their genesis
In a kindly, cheerful desire to avoid
giving pain. These polite untruths are
the lubricant of society. They wear
away the rough edges, take away the
sting out of uncomfortable facts. They
are the flower of courtesy, "the piu»-
apple perfume of politeness."
