REVERENCE.
Reverence, says the Milwau
kee Journal, is a quality sadly
lacking in the youth of to day.
There is prevailing an exaggera
ted idea of the "I'm as good as
anybody, b'gosh" sentiment. So
you aro "as good as anybody,"
son, if you make yourself so.
Itnf. hnino na rrnnrl ns nnvhnrltr
you will not need to thrust thai i
information on any one. Nor will
you need to despise others. If
you are really worthy respect,
you will not have to make an ef
fort to exact respect. And it is
a mistake to imagine that treat
ing others with lack of respect
elevates yourself. Respect will
be paid to real worth by those
whose opinions are worth the
while. If your goodness does not
meet appreciation by people of
worthy character, there is some
thing the matter with your good
ness. It would bo well to make
a personal inquiry and locate the
trouble.
Tho habit of treating sacred
subjects with levity is a bad one.
It kills reverence in our hearts,
and thus lowers our standards of
goodness. We need to uourish
high ideals of right, of goodness,
of holiness, or our characters aro
degraded. When reverence goes
out greed, soltishness and inhu
manity come in. Besides the
wrong done to our own nature
when wo fail to reverence things
held sacred, we do a grievous
wrong to others. It is evil enough
to lower our own standard of
right, but when wo cloud the
sense of purity, of sacrodness, In
others It is doubly, wrong. If we
fail in ourselves to keep some
ideal holy for our aspirations, let
us not drag the ideal of others io,
the dost under our feet

Mr. NlPPKU BUYING HUTTKK.
"Here comes Mr. Robby from
Sleepy Hollow with a load of but
ter. We're short ; aren't we, Jo
nas?" "Yes ; all gone but that bad lot,
j and they are crying for some
: thing good."
j Hobby (from his wagon) "Mr.
i Nipper, I've got some butter for
ye."
! Nipper is busy and does not
! hear. !
! "Hello there, Nipper ! Come j
i and see this butter."
Nipper slowlv closes his order
book, directs the delivery boy to
I hop around with the codfish,
shifts a yellow ham near the door
from oue peg to another, cocks
his stovepipe hat on the back of
his head, thrusts his thumbs iu-
to each armhole of his vest, and
shuffles slowly toward the street
las though about to squint at the
state of the weather.
I "Whr. Tinhhip. what, hnvo va
' j i - j
got there !"
"Butter, Mr. Nipper."
"Butter, eh ? Now, if you had
; eggs I might buy. Butter's dull,
i liobby ; the town's full of but
j ter."
"Is that so?
Daisy heard as it
had gone up."
"Gone up ! Well, yes, gone up
the spout. Dick, take them tur
nips toKichfinger,"hesaid, turn
ing away.
"Won't ye look at this lot, Mr.
dipper?"
"Robby, we're full. Jonas was
just saying he couldn't store an
other tub. The town's glutted
glutted, Robby, and heaps of it
spoiling in New York, and no
buyers.''
"But this is an extra fine lot
from the best feed of the pasture
with the spring brook in it, where
ye used to catch trout, Mr. Nip
per, and Daisy made it with her
own hands."
"Yes, yes, but it looks salvey
like worked too much no tex
ture you see and full of milk,
won't keep, Robby, won't keep.
Then it lacks the gilt edged fla
vor. What do you ask for it ?"
"Well, Daisy thought as how
she orter have fifteen cents."
"Too high, can't buy. Good
morning."
"See here, Nipper, what'll ye
give?"
"Robbie, if I give you ten cents
for that butter Jonas will be as
mad as a boiled lobster Jonas
j will swear and make things live
ly. But you're an old friend and
I'm going to do it and take the
consequences."
Mr. Nipper selling the but
ter. "Richtinger, come this
way ; I can show you an awful lot
of nice butter ; there it Is. That's
what I call elegant, made by Dai
sy Buttercup, the neatest and
prettiest girl in the country. I
used to spark her mother before

Notice the tone, the mellowness,
the aroma. Equal to cream can

"What's the price, Nipper ?"
"Twenty-five cents to an old
customer."
"Pretty high, isu'tit?"
"That depends on what ye're
buying. Grease is grease and
butter is butter. If you want
grease I can sell it for less, but if
ye want to lay in the best grade,
the gilt edge, the gold leaf as it
were, June butter that'll keep,

that butter is on the rise, the

great scarcity."
A severe thunder storm passed
over tho western part of this

THE SAFEST CARS.
"Which car is the safest one to
occupy in a railroad wreck V" is a
question that has received much
consideration at the hands of
trayelers, says tho Cleveland
Leader.
The recont railroad wreck on
the Gsand Trunk in Camda, in
which twenty to thirty persous
were killed, has caused a revival
of the discussion, especially in
this vicinity, whero railroad
wrecks have occurred with alarm
ing frequeucy during tho last
year.
Railroad men are among those
who discuss this question ser
iously. This problem to all in
tents and purposes was solved by
them long ago. When a railroad
superintendent hears the mere
report of a wreck, ho can tell, if
he knows tho make-up ol a train
and whether it was a head-on or a
rear end collision, which of the
cars received the brunt of the
shock.
Railroad wrecks in the neigh
borhood of Cleveland are usually
of the rear cud collision or head
on collision variety.and in no case
in the last decade have the casual
ties been heavy. Another kind
of wreck is caused by tho spread
ing of the rails. There have been
three or four of these near Cleve
land within tho last two years.
"As a general principle, it is
safe to stick to the Pullman cars,"
is tho advice of an old railroader,
"aud if there are no Pullmans on
the train, size up the cars and try
to occupy the heaviest of them.
Whatever you do, keep out of the
smoker."
There are good and sufficient
reasons for this advice. The
smoker on a train, to begin with,
is the lightest of all the cars, as a
rule, and is generally at the for
ward end of tho train. If the
baggage car happens to bo heavi
ly loaded the smoker is pinched
between two heavy sections, and
offering the least resistance, is
reduced to kindling wood.
The car that receives the rough
est treatmeut in a wreck, how
ever, is the mail or baggage car.
Unless this car is extraordinarily
heavy, it is bound to suffer. In
every wreck that has taken place
near this city during the last two ,
years the baggage car has borne
the brunt of the shock, and has
been the most dangerous car in
the train. In the recent Erie
wreck at Union street great holes
were punched through the bot
tom of the car, it was divested of
its truck, and was so badly shat
tered that the trunks and boxes
iuside were scattered around the
wreck. 1 he other cars were not
damaged much, with the excep
tions of some badly smashed win
dow lights.
A LEGACY OF THE GRIP.
It is often a run-down system.
Weakness, nervousness, lack of
appetite, energy s.nd ambition,
with disordered liver and kidneys
often follow an attack of this
wretched disease. The greatest
need then is Electric Fitters, tho
splendid tonic, blood pi i-fir, and
regulator of stomach, liver and
kidneys. Thousands have proved
that they wonderfully strengthen
the nerves, build up the system
and restore to health and good
spirits after an attack of grip. If
suffering, try them. Only 50c.

Dltcowertr of Cripple Crack. . .
Robert Woniaek, the discoverer ot
Cripple Creek, uun a cowboy and
Humbled on tiic rich deposits in
January, 1891. Tho year of its first
exploitation tho Cripple Creek field
produced $-.'00,000 in gold. La.it
Vear its output was $23,000,000.
Womack is no richer for his discov
ery. He sold out his claim early and
spent tho money in true cowboy
style, but he is said to have no regret
for the wealth that might have bees
bis.
CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE.
A joint committee of the recent
scjsion of the Louisiana legislature
visited the Mute penal farms at An
gola and II'ipi! for the purpose of
reporting on the work done by the
board of control. The members of
tho committee spent sonic time talk
ing with the negro convicts, and
presently one of tho negroes recog
nized a member of the committee,
who is a rising young lawyer not a
thousand miles from New Iberia.
"You know Mr. B.?" inquired one
of tho gentlemen.
"Yaus, kuIi, I knows Mr. B. well.
He's de one dun sent mo heah," re
plied the darky with a grin spread
all over his face.
The gentlemen had not heard of
Mr. B. olliciating as a prosecuting
attorney and wanted to know how
he cuino to send the convict there.
"He wuz niah lawyer, pah."
Mr. B. acknowledged that the ci
gars were on him, provided the in
cident did not get any further.

Gold Dollars at Premium.
The United States gold dollar is
so scarce that dealers in old and
rare coins are advertising every
where for them, offering from $1.50
to $3 apiece for a.s many as they
can get. Since 1889 the United
Slates mints have not coined any
gold dollars. Since then their value
has increased steadily. In the mint
in Philadelphia, where the dies for
all United States currency are
made, a reporter for the Philadel
phia Times was told the present
value of tho gold dollars ol 1889.
Those marked C (Carson City) are
worth from $1.75 to $2.50; those
marked D (Denver) aro worth from
$2 to $2.50; those marked S (San
Francisco) are wortli from $2 to
$3, and those without any mark,
indicating that they were minted in
Philadelphia, are worth from $1.60
to $1.70.
The New Chinese Envoy.
Sir Liang Chen Tung, the new
Chinese envoy to this country, is a
many sided man. He is thirty-nine
years old and was one of the 120
students sent by China, beginning in
1882, to learn American ways. He en
tered Amherst college, but was un
able to graduate because of recall
by his government. He was an ex
pert catcher and pitcher n tho
baseball nines at Phillips and Am
herst. He is fond of society and
is an entertaining conversatioiialitit.
It remains to be seen whether lie
can approach tho retiring Minister
Yu as an after dinner speaker. Sir
Liang is a widower.
Undiscovered Cuba.
After more than 400 years it ap
pears that Cuba has not yet been
entirely discovered. Much of it and
many of its treasures aro yet un
known, according to the recent re
port made by Governor General
Wood.
He says that after the centuries
of Spanish occupancy there are
large portions of the island that
have never even been prospected and
practically remain undiscovered so
far as knowledge of what they con
tain goes. New York Herald.
Finger Nails at Assets.
A Viennese jury has just put a
valuation on finger nails. An artist
named Franz Muller was the proud
possessor of a set much admired for
their beauty which so excited tho
jealousy of a rival that ho man
aged to break one of them. Muller
promptly brought suit for damages,
and he has been awarded 1,000
crowns, tho equivalent of $200 in
our money. San Francisco Chroni
cle. Mason's Backers.
When Senator Mason met Post
master General Payne the other day,
the latter said, "Mr. Mason, I hear
you have a presidential boom." "I
am now engaged in running down a
rumor to that effect," said tho sen
ator, "and if there's anything in it
I shall know how to conduct my
self. My wife and the cook have
declared for me, I know, and there
may bo others." Argonaut.
A Great Awning.
By walking down Prospect street,
Cleveland, 0., one can enjoy the
shade of the longest awning in the
world, so far as is known. This
great awning is 15G feet long, is all
in ono piece from end to end and the
iron frame ou which it is stretched
is operated by a mechanism that
makes it possible for one man to
raise or lower the whole immense
stretch of canvas at once.
Her List lets Way.
"Charlotte," said the first, who
was of her sex and a friend, "strives

"Yes," responded the other, who
was also feminine and an even
closer friend, "she even affects 8
birthdayless age." Indianapolis

IT Is pretty hard to keep well Informed on the
political news, the scientific news, the literary
news, the educational movements, the great
business developments, the hundreds of interesting
and valuable articles in the hundreds of excellent
magazines. About the only way it can be done by
the average busy man and woman is to read a
magazine like "The Review of Reviews," and, as
it is the only magazine of the sort, it is a good
thing to send $2.50 for a year's subscription.
