BE EXPECTED THERE.
(Now York Hun.)
A gentleman from the west, bearing
uamisttikablu evidences of his heredity
anil environment, was waled in the
IlofTman h.use lobby when lie was ap
proached hy a reporter on the search for
new and strange things.
"I beg your pardon," Baid the reporter,
with unotious deference, "I am informed
by llic clerk that you arc front the west."
"I guess tho clerk ain't no liar," re
plied the westerner.
"I am a reporter," continued the young
man, "and 1 should be pleased to have
some western news from you if you have
any to communicate."
"Don't you read the papers, young fel
low?" inquired the westerner, necompa
nied by a haw-haw that made the rcpor
ter's hair stand at right angles.
"Oil, of course, but I don't mean that
kind of news. Something direct from
citizen of I he glorious Occident is what
want."
"The glorious be denied," said the
citizen from there. "All I know is, I've
got a bar'l of raw silver 1 want coined,
and I'm hero to sec about it."
"Oh, yes, hesitated the reporter, at
loss how to tackle the silver man with
out a shotgun.
"Yes," continued tho visitor, "I'm
goiu' to l'hiladclphy and have it mad
into money, er know the reason why?"
'10 you kuow l'hiladelphia?" inquired
tho reporter willing to change llic sub
icct.
Do I? Well, I guets yes. My grand
daddy lived and died there. Queer old
duffer ho was, too. Lived to be ninety
never sick in his life; went to bed chipper
as a wuod chuck one night, and naked
up dead next moinin'."
"Eh, died Middcnly, did he?"
The westerner rose from the chair and
trelched himself, preparatory to walking
away from the reporter.
"Well, kinder," he said, slowly. "Any
how, as sudden as a man could die in
l'hiladclphy."

In .Virth tarolina lately a case was
tried in which tho defendant's charaeti r
having been impeached, it was sought to
bolster il up hy showing he had reform

who belonged to the same church, insis

man, of course his character w.h belt

just as niueh as he did?" The witness
who was colored, and evidently miliar

yes and said with much deliberation
'I think lie do, but lie carries it more

DOW T TALK TOO MUCH IF VOL'
WOULD II A YE FRIENDS.
Friendship is a great and glorious insti
tution, whose praise wo all sing, hut whose
value wo seldom appreciate, or wo Would
not do so many thousand and (inn things
that tend to dissipate it. To begin with,
if you have a eirclo of charming friends,
do Dot think that you can impose on their
good naturo too often. They may be
very, very fond of you, but they do not
care to be continually reminded of your
woes, of whatever naturo they may be.
There are some, oh, so pitifully few,
exceptions, that actually sympathize with
you and want to help you. As rt rule,
however, directly you make a wry face
you can see tho change creep into the
warmth of their welcome. The shadow
dims the sunshine of their smile. It
doesn't pay In jeopardise friendship by
being too confidential.
If you arc pour and do not like being
keep the fact uiid (he hatred of it to
yourself. Put the best foot forward, and
when you meet your friends let them dis
cover themselves that you are pluekily
fighting your own battles, and do not ask
either their sympathy or their aid. You
are ever so much more certain of getting
both when the lime of need arrives than
if you go crying "wolf," and talking pov
crlyso continually that your theme ami
yourself become a nuisance.
If you are uiihappy in your domestic
life, how much more respect will be your
quota if you keep all t lie annoying fanii
ly troubles to yourself. People may fee
sorry for you, but after awhile you get
to a bore whom they will tako pains to
avoid, whereas, if you do not annoy them
with your grievances you will be coulin
11 illy received with a glad welcome and
they will put themselves out ol tho way
to meet you.
The world is too full of sorrow for
even friendship to seek out some harrow
ing symptom of it in another in order
sympathize with it. "Laugh and the
world laughs with yon; weep, and you
weep alone," is a very truthful senli
nicnt. Cast a-ide your own little worri
ments when you meet your friends and
you will temnin popular always, but
you trespass on their nllection tor you
and annoy them with your real or fancied
grievances you will liud yourself out ii

THEORY THAT IT VAX HE
TAITEI) FOR ALL THE
EL ECTRICl TV NEEDED.
Ilias B. Dunn, Ihe weather observer
New York, has been studying almos-
lierie electricity for a few years. The
rgeant, as they used to call him; (he
farmer as they call bin; now, said the
other day lliat he will live lo sec the day
when electricity collected from the iil-
pherc and stored by some means
which an Edison or a Tisla will have lo
vise will revolutionize the world. The
prophet expects that cities will be lighted
:inil heated by atmospheric electricity;
lhat every train and car will bo run,
hied and healed by il; that coal will
become a curiosity; that steam heating
will be granny talk to the children of the
xt generation; lhat the telegraph and
phone companies will lose their mo-
polios; that war will become a farce,
leeause a touch of electricity will make
the British (irenailicrs or the German
1'hhins nr the Scot.'h Highlanders sit
down on the cold ground powerless.
Even the dreams of communication
with the inhabitants of Mars will become
realties, and a man will be able to strike
up electricity as he docs a parlor match.
ere will be no more trolley strikes, be
cause there will be no more trolleys.
Mankind will tap the atmosphere for al
most any convenience except food and
lothing wiil be woven aud the food will
cooked by atmospheric electricity;
trect cleaning will bo as easy as ihe ma
gician's "Presto, change!" and everybody
will live comparatively happier ever after,
.Mr. l'unnissure that bis ideas arc
practical and probable. The atmosphere
his constant study, and having intro
duced general humidity to the public as
the principal element in uncoiufoitabli
ays, he has dctciunued that llic polcut
nicnt for good in tho air we breath
hall be wasted. Why, he said, the
whole atmosphere is soaked with electric,
ity.
The earth, as is well known, is a store
house of elcctricly. That it passes from
thceloudi to the earth we can see in
ry thunderstorm. The earlh is a good
conductor, especially damp earth, and
water is llic best conductor possible. Ev-
ry person is possessed of body electricity.
The vital force is all in Ihe electrical pow
ers you coutain in your body. When
the day is damp, you become weakene
irough the loss uf yuttr bodily electric
ity, because the aliuusplicro is a greater
conductor of the electrical fluid than jour
nly will pass to this nmist, damp air.
Thai is the cause of lb it tired feeling.
This passing of elect ricly to the atnio:"
pbere enervates you to such a degree that
person in a naturally weak state will
collapse or become much worse by Ihe
Kss of the bodily electricity. The atmos
phere being charged with electricity and
the earth being a storehouse for it, if
there were some controllable method ol
storage devised by which you could draw
oft a moderate amount of electricity at
will and keep that force on lap all the
thro, with an appliance by which power
could be generated and there's no rea
son why that can't be done then tin
atmospheric electricity would make all
the wheels in the world go around. The
barons would be done up. There would
be no more need for coal. There ought
to be enough electricity in Ihe alraus
pbere to supply light and heat as well as
lo do all the work. Boston Transcript.
