In J.wrm-Ji u Haturr. Man n M-tit into the world mi finished. Nature seems to sav to hi in at the start: "You are incom plete. I have made that other part of von. lint I do not remember where I put it. You will have to limit for it." I have met many men who went ulxuit for years in this I'syehe hunt, muttering to the women they met, "Where do you supiose the rther half of me w as put?'' President Roosevelt an Accident ia, liian. H I'afkliurM. In Sun.Uy Srrnn.it. If ever there was such a thine as mi uccident the promotion of the Chief Executive to his iiiciimlM-iicy of the ollice is an instance of it. Aeeidentallv made Vice I'rosi dent by the enmity of a jealous eompatriot, w hat jealousy initiated the cnuy malignity of n t'zolgos coosutuatcd, and the thing was done. He happened lo Is- elose to the pool Ilcthcsda at t lie moving of the waters and the irresponsible I'ole rolled linn in. There was a providence in it, doubtless, but only in the sense in which there is a providence in all accidents. The Exploding lioy, hutt.Uy SrtiiM.1 Tour. A father or mother is an en gitn-cr. The Isiy is boiler hikI en gine all in one. Shut off the steam lit all points of outlet, and some thing has pit to give way. Of course nolssly wants either to waste slt-utu, by letting it ofl' into the air, or to have an explosion. The other thing to do is to turn it into the cylinders, mid let it run the. engine. Henry Ward llcccher tells how his lather used to pi a outline; w ith his boys. They dimls-d the trees, and shtsik down the chestnuts, and then picked the ground clean of tlieiu. Mr. llcccher nays: "Thus we spent our forces, mid I was a better Isiy for a week after one of those nulling expedi tions. The devil did not tempt me half so much then as at other times. Hut w hen, for any cause, 1 was shut up, no that 1 could not go out, and when I moped, the devil got big in me, and I went into ub normal mischiefs, not mischiefs of very great magnitude, but mis chiefs just large enough to procure me a whipping, and make mc un happy." Now, whipping an ex ploded boiler is a doubtful way of repairing it. All engineer who gives no vent to the gathering steam is liable to lie whipped by the law, if not by his conscience. Excluding the Ideal. SumlaT Hrliiitil Tlmrrt. It is wonderful how jiersisteutly and how stubbornly many persons will cling to an ideal less life. The worst oftVuse you ran coin in it is to offer to clean their sky -w indow s for them. They seem positively to love darkness rather than light. 1 igniics is not offered to us by his tory as being exactly a model of manners to royalty, tor, when asK ed by a kingly Alexander what gift he would receive of him, he only replied, "That you may get out of my sunlight." Hut when you have to choose between even Alexander and sunlight, there is noincthiiig to be said for the latter. In the rase Is-fore us there is no such excuse. The mind seems to say: Leave me to a life from which the bright firmament uf the ideal is excluded. Let me "walk on still ill darkness," whatever light In found alsmt inc. tio they are like 1'lato's men in the cave. Willi faces toward tho gloom, they are conscious only of the reflected shadows cast by the glories of a world of life which they never see. Their stolid idcredulity will quench the torch of your enthusiasm before it will be kindled by it. In answer to the cry of the discipline, "We have seen the Lord," they will lay down conditions before their entry into the promised land of the ideal, into the world of spiritual reality, Into the realization of the unseen, which destroy its potency to the heart, "Kxcept I see, I will not beleive."

Woes of a Postmaster (icneral. Ni-S V'Tl ll. r.l.l. Postmitster (ieneral Payne's. nail these days is tremendous. Almost every man, woman and child in the country seems to have a grievance against the department now that the game is oh-ii. One woman has lost in the mails and another a black leather licit. One man in the country objects to the way his Itostmastcr hands It 1 lit his mail. and another w ants the ollice moved to li is stoic right away or he will vole for Cleveland. The most pathetic appeal of all came yesterday from a New York reprise, itative in congress, who is dailv threatened hv an Italian in his district, who has lost eltHi in the mails. The money has been tn.ced and found, but in the pro cess of red tavc it will Is- another cck U'fore the Italian can get it.

I'tley't Check hook noUood in the Penitentiary. A.lif villi- l'..rir-ii..n.1 I- .if Hi. rlmrl.illr Ol.- i-n.r J, 1. Kerr, who has returned from a inci ting of the penitentiary directum at Haleigh, says the di rectors witnessed 1111 unusual sight at the prison. Young It ley of K.iyclleville, who killed a hotel clerk ut that place, had just la-en taken to prison when Die visitors were making their regular inspec tion. The prisoner, w ho is of a wealthy and well known family, took his check book w ith him. for he has something like tio.ntm in his own name. The warden re garded the book as superfluous, nnd told the young man so, but the mutter was finally compromised by a dessit of forty or fifty dollars with the prison oflicials, w ho said that this young prisoner could pur chase a little fruit occasionally, but that he would have to eat at Hie same table and the same food that was giveu the other prisoners w ho, while they had Is-en less fortunate in the accumulation of the goods of this world, had now been brought to the same level by being in the same place.
