FROM GAB TO CITAIR,
Rise of a Railroad Engineer toa Cor-
nell Professorsair.
Chauncey M. Depew lately visited the mechanical department of Cornel! | University. He fonnd at the head of }it Professor Morris. The latter claimed -him as an old acquaintance.
“How is that 2” said Mr. Depew,
“JT used to work for the New York Central railroad,” was the professor's answer.
“Indeed! In what departraent ?”
“Oh, just in the ranks.”
“How did you get here?” agked Mr, Depew.
“T was first a fireman on an engine. That was a tough job, but it led up to the position of engineer. When I be- came an engineer, 1 made up my mind to get an education. | studied at night and fitted myself for Union College, running all the time with my lecomo- tive. I proeured books and attended as far as possible the lectures and reci- tations. I kept up with my class and on the day of graduation 1 ieft my lo- comotive, washed up, put on the gown and cap, delivered my thesis, and re- ceived my diploma, put the gown and cap in the closet. put on my working shirt, got on my engine and made my usual run that day.”
“Then.” said Depew. “I knew how he became Professor Morris.”
That spirit will cause a man to rise iaany calling. It is ambition, but it is ambition wisely directed, seeking to make one’s self fitted for higher work. When this is accomplished the oppor- tunity for higher work is sure to come.”—Buffalo News.
The Importance of Firmness.
We are doubtless familiar with a conversation similar to the one claimed tohave been overheard between two boys: Said one to the other, ‘‘Are you going fishing to-day?” ‘‘No,” replied the second boy, *‘mother won’t let me.”’
“Fudge,” said the first boy, con- teyiptuously, “tease her and tease her, eid if she won't let you go lie down on the floor and kick. That's the way I do, then she will let you go.”
The first thought is one of indigna- tion against the little rascal; the gee- ond, no, the child is not to blame. ff he knows he can get what he wants by teasing, why should he not tease? Or, if kicking upon the floor will change his mother’s no into ves. he would be a very foolish boy if he did not kick. Tf he was not confident of getting what he wants by teasing and kicking he would not doit. The mother has only herself to blame for her son’s naughtiness. I believe that right here lies three-fourths of the trouble and anxiety and wear upon ‘the nerves in the bringing up of children. Let your no mean no, always, and it will be accepted as final ; but if sometimes it may be possible for it to mean yes, you may rest assured that you wll not be the one to get the bene- fit of the doubt ; but think before you sav no.
Remember that what seems to youa foolish trifle may mean a great deal to vour little one, ind to be deprived of a certain pleasure may cause a bitter dis- appointment.
When your little daughter comes to you brimming over with some antici- pated scheme that promises such lots of fun, enter into the plans with inter- est and be glad with her. If it seenis to you not a feasible thing, do not say no, but tell her that you will think it over, Then think it over carefully and the difficulties may disappear. If not, and you find that it will be unwise to grant her request, tell her so lovingly, giving her the reasons, if this is wise, why itis not best, and let her know that you are sorry to disappoint her. If you have taught her by your daily actions that her mother is her truest friend ; if she knows that you love her, and that you will grant her every hap- piness that is in your power if it is best that she should have it. she will accept the decision because ‘‘mamma knows best,” and, when a request must be re- fused, there will be no *‘scene,” no out-
break of temper, such as all mothers dread. A child brought up close to the
mother’s heart, with perfect confidence in the strong mother love, will give her unquestioned obedience when that obedience is necessary, because it will not enter her mind to doubt her love in the demand. Share your children’s joys as well as their sorrows ; one with them when youcan, and the battle will be half won.
In dealing with children, a little strategy may sometimes be used with marvelously good results, and before the self-willed little puss realizes what she is doing, the point at issue has been so skilfully turned that she has done exactly what you wished her to do and forgotten to rebel over it.

Blessedness of Marriage.
Marriage when it is the sacrament of pure love isthe purest and holiest re- lation of life. It opens all the avenues of the heart and fills them with the per- petual melody of humanity. Man often gathers his best culture and dis- cipline—woman a succession of new joys and winning graces in a home per- vaded by an atmosphere of love and duty. To make a truly happy and well-chosen marriage there should be equality of vears, of birth, and of for- tune. Domestic rule must be founded on domestic affection, If home is to be madea sanctuary for refreshment and rest there must be harmony of mind and sentiment, mutual depend- ence and social sympathy. Husband and wife must keep equal pace in econ- omy suitable to income—each find in the other a staff to lean upon in all the (Sices of life. Neither passion, nor opinion, nor obligation must «nit the bond, but the finer impulses of the heart supported by those outward marks and signs of affection which shail keep our natyre fresh and green when our temples are white over with the snows of age.—Dr. J. W. Johnson.

A TERRIBLE VERDICT.
A Man Plainly Told That Ee Would Never Walk Qut Again.
SQ THE DOCTORS SAID.
He Is Saved and Cured by Paine's Celery Compound.
The Only Reliable Cure for Kidney Diseases.
{When Mr. 1. Ball, the weil known auc- tioneer, of Chatham, Ont., was told by his physicia: 8 that he would never walk again, itsimply amounted to telling him that his days on earth were short. Kidney dis ease was doing its deadly work; physicians and medicines had failed, and the last ray of hope had almost fled forever. Mr. Ball, having heard wondrous reports about the medicinal virtues of Paine’s Celery Com- pound, wisely decided to give the great medicine atrial. He was not disappoint- ed; health and strength returned, weight increased, and to-day he is a new man. He tells of his wonderful escape from death as follows :—
“<T was so seriously ill I was obliged to take to my bed, where I laid for four months. The doctors here and in Toronto said ms trouble was Addison’s disease of the kidneys, and told me I would never walk again. I commenced to use Paine’s Celery Componnd. After having used a number of bottles I was enabled to attend to business, and felt like a new man. Be- fore using the Compound [ was very much reduced in flesh; to-day I weigh over 200 pounds. I can affirm with confidence and honesty that Paine’s Celery Compound saved my life.”

NO COURTSHIP IN JERUSALEM. Match-Making in Palestine is Robbed of Its Sentimental Features,
Of courtship as it is known in America or England there is none whatever in Jerusalem, writes Edwin S. Wallace in November Ladies’ Home Journal. A young Mohammedan never sees the face of the girl who is to be- come his wife until after marriage. His mother and sisters may see her and re- port their impressions, but if it is a case where the union is by them considered a desirable one they are likely to ac- credit her with charms does not possess. Among Jews and Christians there is a greater latitude in this re- spect, though the young people are never permitted to see each other with- out the presence of a thirdparty. In every the services of an inter- mediary are necessary. Brides at four- geen are not uncommon, and at twelve occasion little remark. I have known of one bride ten years of age. She was
a Moslem.

Eating Before Sleeping.
The old tradition that to eat any- thing just before going to bed was sure to produce indigestion and render sleep impossible is now happily exploded. It is not good, asa matter of fact, to zo to bed with the stomach so loaded that the undigested food wil! render one restless, but something of a light, pal- atable nature in the stomach is one of the best aids to quietude and rest in bed. The process of digestion goes on in sleep with as much regularity as when one is taking violent exercise to aid it, and so something in the stomach is avery desirable condition for the night’s rest. Some physicians have de- clared, indeed, that a good deal of the prevalent insomnia is the result of an unconscious craving of tle stomach for food in persons who have been unduly frightened by the opinion that they must not eat before going to bed, or who have, like many nervous women, been keeping themselves in a state of semi-starvation. Nothing is more agree- able on retiring for the night than to take a bowl of hot broth, like oatmeal gruel or clam soup. It is a positive aid to nervous people, and induces peace- ful slumbers. This is especially the case on cold winter nights, when the stomach craves warmth much as any other part of the body. Evena glass of hot milk is grateful to the pal- ate on such occasions, but a light well- cooked gruel is better, and in our cli- mate, during the cold months of winter should be the retiring food of every woman who feels, as many do, the need of food at night.

Growing Old,
“Ti isn’t being old thet’s hard to bear,” said a passe person to me lately. “It’s the growing old, the fading, the misery of fleshing up, or shrinking down, into elderliness that’s so sting- ing. Ishouldn’t mind being 60, but I hate to be 45.”
It is odd, tev, how we women try to deceive ours@lwes! “Oh, gray hair is no sign of age.” eaysone. “I’m sure I’ve had gray hefrs since I was 16,” Another wails when, in spite of herself, she has to take to wearing glasses:
“Oh, I’ve been so foolish! I simply ruined my eyes reading in bed.”
But when a person’s hair turns, the eyes fall and the teeth get faulty and unreliable, its age.
Of course if there are no grown children to betray one the pretence of youth can be kept upa little longer : but even the ladies who were married at 16and had three children before they were 20 have to abandon the struggle inthe presence of marriageable and daughters. I have known woald- be youthful women to break down and weep the first time they were called grandma.
Yes, indeed! it is hard to be graceful while growing old.

The Words of Jesus.
The Gospel as Nazareth spoke it on the shores of Gennesaret, in the streets of Nain, by the wayside in Samaria, has been at last unearthed, according to an article in the New York World. It is by all odds the most re- markable manuscript find of the centu- ries. In point of interest to the scien- tific and religious world it surpasses the finding of the Rosetta Stone. Two women with a kodak were the instru- ments by which this wonderful product of the early Christian years has seen the light of the nineteenth century. For the first time the Christian world has presented to it the story of the Nazarene as He spoke it, in His very words, written in the language of Palestine, when the Saviour walked and talked in the land of His birth. This manuscript copy of the Four Gos- pels in the original Syriac, the oldest record of the doings and sayings of Jesus Christ, was found in the monas- try of St. Catharine, on Mount Sinai, by Mrs, Catharine Lewis and Mrs, James Y. Gibson, of Cambridge, Eng- land.—Philadelphia Press,

A Poser.
Prof. Zanker, the famous Orientalist, one day received the copy of an in- scription which a friend of his declared he had diweval tome. The sender asked him to decipuer the mysterious extract, promising to forward the valuable oid MS. as soonas he got it from its own- er, a relative of his. The inscription ran as follows: Uoy era woh rosseforp gninrom a00g.
For three days the professor puzzled his brains without making any sense of it. Then his little son, a fourth-form boy, came into his father’s study and spied the strange writing on the desk. After looking at it for a while he asked his father since when he had taken to writing backwards,
‘**What do you mean?” said the as- tonished professor,
‘Why,” replied the lad, “if you read thisfrom right to left it runs thus, “Good morning, professor, how are you?”

Nervous Prostration.
Cured effectually by Scott's Sarsapariila.
His heart was affected.
“Overwork as a student at college brought on an attack of nervous prostra- tion,” says Mr. Gilbert, a railway missionary. l was exceedingly ner- vous and if I exerted myself my prere commenced to fiutter viclently, and I was warned that even ordinary eercise en- dangered my life. But thanks to Scott's Sarsaparilla I feel better than I ever ex- pected te feel, for I can now address a meeting without effort, can walk a brisk — for two | more without ex-
hours o haustion andam free from that distressing palpitation. In my work I have often- time recommended Scott’s Sarsaparilla, and have seen many eaSes where its effects have been mogt marked.”
Scott’s Sarsaparilla-acts like magic in restoring shattered nerves becguse it re- builds the nerve ctutres. . Neryous head- ache, nervous Gepensia and pl nerve derangements wear on the’ system. Scott’s Sarsaparilla makes new blood and muscles and strong nerves. Of all drug- gists, $1 per bottle. Dose from half to one teaspoonful.
