"GO THY WAY.”

Go thy way, but let that way Be ever worth the going. Know thy way and never stray In ways not worth the kuowing. Leave the way that goes astray And seek a better path, Straight and narrow all the way, To realm3 unknown to sin and wrath. Thus ‘‘Go thy way."’ —Clark W. Pryan in Good Housekeeping.

DIDN’T LIKE HIS BARGAIN. His Broken Clock and Broken Enuglish Broke Up the Oficial.

One of the officials of the postoffice de- partment was somewhat alarmed and sur- prised not long ago to have a wild and ex- cited Frenchiman rush into bis office with a clock under hisarm and in strident tones and broken English demand his money back for the same. It seems he had bought the clock at one of the periodical sales of the dead letter office, at which all unde- livered packages that have accumulated are auctioned off, but one purchases at his own risk, as the things are sold in the original packages, and neither the pur- chaser nor the auctioneer is expected to know what they centain.

‘* Yes, I bought ze clock zair, at ze dade letter office, and it go no pas de tout, pas de tout. Sol bring her back to zis great government, an I want wy money back. You understand, I want my money back,’’ said the Frenchman.

‘‘Did the auctioneer guarantee the clook to you?’’ asked the official. ‘‘Did he promise you it would go?’’

‘‘No, sair; no sair; no, sair!’’ shrieked the Frenchman. ‘‘ But when buy a clock I suppose she will go. If she no go, I want my money back. Here is zis ole clock. She is no good, pas de tout. Give me back my moneys."’

‘*Now, let us talk this matter over calm- ly,’’ aaid the official ‘‘You say the clock won't go. Have you tried to fix it? It has lain some time in the dead letter of- flown. Perhaps it needs cleaning.’’

“IT spend no more of my moneys on her —no more, you hear? Zare is ze olock I bought frem zis gouvernment. Give me my moneys.’’

‘*It is quite impossible for you to get your money back,’’ soothingly replied the assistant postmaster general, ‘‘but I'll tell you what I will do. I know something about clocks myself, and if you will come up to my house tonighs I will try to belp you fix this ona If we succeed, you will have your money's worth, and we shall all be happy.”’

But that was not what the Frenchman wanted. He grasped his despised purchase with both hands, and, holding it before him, shouted:

‘‘Zair ia no justice in zis country—no justice, no justiee, no justices! You no give me my moneys back I tak’ he home!”’ and, holding the clock in front of bim, he disappeared, calling down maledictions on this country and this government.—New York Tribune,

VESUVIUS RAILROAD.

The Cars Hauled by Cable Over Wooden Rails on the Mountain.

Before one can get to the Vesuvius rail- way from Naples there is a journey of 15 miles, which can best be performed by car- riage. There is no mistaking the way, for there is the mountain, showing a pillar of smoke by day and of fire by night. At the railway station we are more than 2,500 feet above the sea level.

The pecaliarity of the Vesuvius railway is found in its construction, which consists of wooden stringers laid longitudinally and carrying 4 single rail, upon which ride the central wheels of the car.

There are, however, two other rails, placed on each side of the sleeper, near its base. ‘These side rails are laid at an angle and are adapted to wheels the axles of which project from the floor of the coaches and bear closely against the rails on each side of the sleeper, thus keeping the car- riage firmly uprigbt.

There are two tracks, each being pro- vided with two endless cables, which con- sist of steel ropes with hempen cord seven- eighths of an inch in diameter and con- structed of six strands, each composed of eight wires. To the cars the cables are attached by grips retained in position by springs, to which are connected automatio brakes, by whose action the cars can be held securely in case of accidents to the eable or the driving machinery.

Should the weight of the desoending car overbalance that of the car going up the brakes with which the trains are equipped regulate the speed of the machinery. ‘The cars are so contrived that the passengers sit comfortably on horizontal seats with a

{ levei floor beneath their feet. The journey

up or down only occupies 12 minutes, and the carriages bold about a dozen passen- gers. —Philadelphia Press.

dowett’s Sense of Humor,

The late master of Balliol college, Ox- ford, Dr. Jowett, loved a good story, espe- cially one which exhibited the comic side of things. During a sickness from which he suffered many ills he was asked by a friend how he was.

Jowett replied by quoting the words of Sydney Smith, then canon of St. Paul's, who, when at the point of death—‘‘ whicb,’’ said Jowett, ‘‘I am not’’—deolared that there was not as much left of him as would make a minor eanon!

To snother friend, who urged him to permit the publication of some of his ser- mons, Dr. Jowett said:

‘‘Publish nothing thet is not quite good. Pon’t be moved by people’s opinion. There is a story of Bishop Barrington and Phil- potts, afterward bishop of Exeter, who was at the time Barrington’s secretary. The bishop said, ‘I wish you to select for pub- lHcation 12 of my sermons that you think will do me least discredit.’ Shortly after, when the sermons had been chosen, the bishop asked, ‘De you think that these will do me credit?’ ‘I prefer, my lord,’ answered Philpotts, ‘to adhere to your lordship’s former expression.’ The ser- mons were not published.’’— Youth's Com- panion.

An Ungallant Wish.

In the court of sessions in Scotland the judges who do not attend or give a proper excuse for their absence are by law liable toa fine. This law, however, is never en- forced, but it is common, on the first day of the session, for the absentee to send an ezouse to the lord president. Lord Stone- field baving sent such an excuse, on the president mentioning it the late Lord Justice Clerk Braxfleld said, in his broad dialent, ‘‘What excuse can a stout fellow like him ha’e?’’ ‘‘My lord,’’ said the pres- ident, ‘‘he has lost his wife.’’ The jus- tice, whe was fitted with a Xantippe, re- plied: ‘‘Has he? That isa gude excuse indeed. I wish we had a’ the same.’’— San Francisco Argonaut.
