to tot tlono.
It Is elulmed that a Now York
medical society has resolved to try to
socuro the passage of scientific
marrliiRo law to govern marriages
of persons hereditarily tainted with
Insanity and disease. This would doubt
less effect considerable Rood, but the
practical working of such a tow would
have to bo the outeomo of years of
careful study. Is it not time to try
something of the kind? Peoplo of
Reynoldsvillo have soon tho effect of
such marriages hero In our midst.
When tho Pittsburg J7im took
possession W Its splendid new building
about six months ago its publisher
promised that tho paper would grow In
excellence In tho samo proportion as Its
quarters hud been enlarged. It was
then an excellent paper and there was
some curiosity to know whether the
promise would bo redeemed. Tho
publishers have kept their promise.
Tho Thnr Is a marvel of modern
journalism, und tho wonder Is that a
dally paper so complete in every respect
can bo sold for one penny a day, or M.00
per year, a little more tlinn tho cost
of a flrst-clas weekly paper. If you

Few things are more Important In a
homo than Is conversation, yet there are
fewer things to which less deliberate
thought Is given. We take great pains
to have our houses well furnished. Wo
select our carpets and our pictures with
the utmost caro; wo send our children
to school, that they may become Intelli
gent, we strive to bring into our homes
tho best conditions of happiness. Hut
how often the household Is left untrained
and undisiclpllned! Tho good wo might
do In our homes with our tongues. If wo
would uso them to tho limits of their
capacity of cheer and helpfulness, It Is
simply Unjiossslile to state. Why
should so much power for blessing bo
wasted? Especially, why should we
ever pervert tho gift and uso of our
tongues to do evil, to give pain, to
scatter seeds of blttorness? It Is a sad
thing when a child Is born dumb but it
were better to le born dumb and never
having tho gift of speech than, having
the gift, to employ it In speaking only
Bharp, unloving or angry words.
Never consider time wasted that
is silent In learning rudiments. In
acquiring a knowledgo of any art or
handicraft the greatest difficulty Is
experienced at the beginning, because
our work then possesses little or nothing
of Interest. Our 11 ret lessons In muslo
or drawing, or with tools, are very
simple; indeed so simple are they that
we are disposed to undervalue their
importance. Tho temptation Is to skip
a few pages and begin furthor on In tho
book. But such a course is fatal to
success. To loam principles thoroughly
is to succeed. Be content to learn one
thing at a time, whether It be to push
a. plane, square or true, or draw a
line. Whatever you learn, learn It
absolutely, without possible question.
This will enable you to advance steadily,
step by step, year after year, and some
day you will wonder why you have boon
enabled to distance the geniuses who
ones seemed so far in advance of you,
Valuable knowledge Is acquired only
by intense dovotlon. You must give
your entire mind to whatever you
undertake, otherwise you fail, or
succeed indifferently, which Is but little

to estimate properly tho value of what
is called leisure time. There is entirely
too much of this in the world. Do
not mistake our moaning. Rest Is
necessary and play & well in Its place,
but young men who hope to do
something In life must not expect
to play one-third of their time. Oo
not dress beyond your moans; never
spend your last dollar, unless for food
to keep yourself or some one else from
starving. You will always feel better
to keep a little money In your pocket.
At the earliest posslblo opportunity
save up a few dollars and place the

as a magnet to attract other money
that might be foolishly spent. ' The

One Wniimn'a t.irb Story.
I mil twentv-two years old and have
been nuirrled four years. My husband
wan visiting nt my home (which wns In
England) at the time of my birth, there
fore wns acuuatnted with mo from ear
liest infancy. As we grew tip we were
frequently thrown into ench others
society, but when he arrived at the ago
of seventeen and I was twelvo we were
pnrted, my hnsbnnd comingto America,
where he staid five years, at the ex
piration of which time we were to be
married; but unfortiinntely he lost all
his money in Liverpool, and on arrival
at my home was penniless. Consequent
ly we could not be married. My hus
band returned to this country to work
for another year to earn enough monev
to pay my passage over, ns we were en
tirely dependent on our own exertions.
At the end of twelve months he again
started for F.ngland, but hnd to return
again on account of a collision. Finully
ho arrived In England, where wo were
married a short time after and snlled for
New York. As booh as wo landed 1
was taken very sick, was tnken to a hos
pital and went under a dangerous nerii
tion, which cost every cent of money we
had In tho world. At lust I got better,
we hired n couple of rooms, my hus
band succeeded in getting work, and al
though we nro very poor we nro very
happy. I am thn proud mother of two
children. Cor. New York Recordor.

Atomt the middle of the last century,
through tho genius of Franklin, 1 Mit
ring Im ciuiio identified with common or
frictlonal electricity, bnt tho language
referring to this great natnral force con
tinued to be the same as when men were
ignorant of Its nature. They spoko, as
we still speak, of a thunderstorm, and
of thnnder and lightning, and thus, as
in other cases, mistook, as we continue
to do, at least In our mode of speech, the
effect for the cause. It is commonly
said that the thnnder turns to sourness
the milk and the beer; that there is
thunder in the air, and the singeing of a
tree by lightning "wns due to the thun
der last night," as its owner informed
mo a few weeks ago. Even Scott, in
"Tho Heart of Midlothian," speaks of
the shattered and thunder smitten
penks of Arran."
Our gratitude is due to those gifted
men who have been able to divest
natural phenomena of the ignorance
and superstition that formerly encum
tiered them, and so to bring them under
tho dominion of scientific laws which
appeal to the good sense of all students
of nature. Notes and Queries.

The latest device to fncilitnto com
munication between different depart
ments of large business establishments
is a miniature telephone exchange. The
ystom Is Installed after exactly the
tame principle as an exchange covering
a wide city area. Each desk to be put
in connection tins its own instrument,
Which Is In principle the same thing as
tho full grown telephone, bnt is of min
iature bIzo. The receiving or hand In
strument, however, Is not of the long
shape with cylindrical handle, familiar
everywhere nowadays, but is simply a
Mat disk resembling one of the earliest
forms of telephone, of which a few were
seen In the Infancy of the Invention.
The "central office" is put in a small
closet or inclosuro nt some convenient
point, and is operated by a boy who has
nothing else to do.
There nre a dozen or so connections,
according to the sizo of the installation
and the needs of the office. This ex
change Is operated npon precisely tho
sumo principle, thongh of course on a
smaller scale and with loss complication,
as a central ofllco in a city exchange.
The ring of any of the connected tele
phones causes a numbered disk on n
Bwitchbonrd to fall when tho boy makes
the desired connection and releases it
when the talk is finished. In large and
busy establishments, where every de
partment must be connected with every
other for frequent communication, this
telophone exchange system does away
with a large number of cumbrous speak
ing tubes and insures a quickor and
more satisfactory Bervice. Now York

In Midway plntsunce, just outside the
exposition grounds, the World's Fuir
Tower company will erect an odd and
striking structure Tho tower will not
be remarkable for Its height, for It is to
bo only COO feet tall, bnt for the peculiar
method of getting to the top of It. This
tower is something in tho form of a
corkscrew, surrounded by uprights of
steel. It consists of a winding track
leading to the top, the track being sup
ported by steel columns.
It Is not intended to use elevators in
making the ascent, but instead cars pro
pelled by electricity will take the pas
sengers up. Near tho top is a landing
place fu the form of a floor that extends
entirely across tho tower, which is 20
feet in diameter. Hero passengers will
alight. From this lauding place they
can get a flno view of tho grounds. The
company has secured its site and will

A Quaint Old Auntrlan C'untom.
The quaint old Austrian custom of a
brido being cast off, ns It were, by her
countrymen when she takes to herself a
foreign hnsband, was an interesting fea
ture at tho recent marriage of the Arch
duchess Louise of Tuscany. The arch
duchess entered the church followed by
a long train of royal and noble Austrian
ladies. They stood in a semicircle
around her until the moment the bride
groom plnced the ring npon her finger;
then they turned and left her, for Bhe
was no longer a countrywoman of theirs.
For a moment the princess stood alone
nnattended; then a number of Saxon
ladies ranged themselves behind her
she had become a Saxon.
At the marringe of Mario Antoinette
this custom, which in her case was ob
served only on tho French frontier, had
a pathetic denouement, When the Aus
trian ladies attempted to leave the new
Dnnplilnes of Franco she refused to be
left, und as if foreseeing what her fato
would be In her adopted country clung
to them and entreated them to take her
back to Austria again. Actual force
hud to bo used to scparato her from her
attendants. Purls Letter.
