It is. said that he whose life is true, believes others to be true. It is said that you never loose in the outcome by a good act. It is said that men help each other by their joy, not by their sorrow. it is said tnat a sleeping beggar is just as nappy as a sleeping king. it is said tnat cultivation is as necessary to the mind as food to the body. It is said that nteritwins at last, but it may take years of patient waiting. ' It is said that all one s life is a music if one touches the notes right ly ajid in time. ' ' ' It is said that better than having a good opportunity is the ability to use a poor one well. It is said that those who bestow too much applications on trifling things become generally incapable of great ones. It is said that the mind of the scholar, if vou would have it large and liberal, must come in contact with other minds. It is said that to know a people's character we must see it at its homes, and look chiefly to the humbler abodes, where that portion of the people dwells which makes the broad basis of the national prosperity; It is said that if thou seest any thing in thyself which may make thee proud, look a little further and thou sbalt find enough to humble thee. It is said that nothing keeps a man from being rich like thinking he has enough; nothing from knowledge and wisdom like thinking he has both. It is said that artifice is incom- patable with courteous frankness of manner. Nothing so much prevents our being natural as the desire of appearing so. It is said that the death of the body no more interrupts the soul, than the breaking of a glass destroys the sunbeam that shined so brightly in it. It is said that the mind is but a barren soil, a soil which is soon exhausted and will produce no crop, or only one, unless it be continually fertilized and enrichened with foreign matter. It is said that large means are not necessary to the development, and exercise of benevolent feelings. Money may be missused in ostensible cnarities unless it is employed both intelligently and sympathetically. It is said that to-day's privileges cannot be enjoyed nor to-day's duties discharged tomorrow. '-Tomorrow" may never come, If it does come, it will bring its own privileges and duties privileges made less and duties made greater by to-day's neg lect. It is said that it is possible to meddle too much with our neigh bors. If we can do them any good, make life happier or easier or nobler for them than it now is, let us hasten to do it with all simplicity ; but com pulsion, insistence, coercion and "management" are only harassing.

Steel Plants the Pittsburg, Pa., August 4. A not occurred at the Duquesne plant of the Carnegie steel company to-day, resulting in the Injury of "about fifteen men. Foreman Millstagle and another workman were fearfully cut aDout tne neao, and about a dozen others received bruises and many were knorked down. The property is now in posession of the sixteenth regiment. Colonel Hul ing8, who is' commander, said : "Most of the Duquesne worman having signified their entention of returning to work, a detachment of forty was ordered to report for repairs this morning, As they approached the gate the mob met and drove them back with clubs. The nine deputies in charge of the mill rushed to the spot but were powerless. The men about to enter ran for their lives, and, the deputies dispatched to general Wylie, who ordered the sixteenth regiment here." Col. Hul- ings has reported to general Wylie that two companies will be a suffi cient guard. It is said that the as oailants were strikers from Home stead. A LITTLE GIRL'S EXPERIENCE IN A LIGHT HOUSE. Mr. and Mrs. Loren lrescott are keepers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand Beach. Mich., and are blessed with a daughter, four years old. Last April she was taken down with Measles, followed with a dreadful Cough and turning into a Fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit treated her, but in vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she was a mere "handful of bones." Then she tried Dr. King's New Discovery and after the use of two and a half bottles, was completely cured. Iney say Dr. King's Ne,w Discoyery is worth its weight in sold, yet vou may get a trial bottle free at J. D. Morris' Drugstore. ASK YOUR FRIENDS. Who have taken Hood's Sarsapa- rilla what they think of it, and the replies will be possitive in its favor. One has been cured or lndigesti and dyspepsia, another finds it in- despensible for sick headache, others report remarkable cures of scrofula, salt rheum and other blood diseases, still others, will tell you tnat it over comes "that tired feeling," and so on Truly, the best advertising which Hood's SarsapariUa receives it has won by its positive medicinal merit.

Unimportant events and trivial incidents are fraught with meaning to the roulette loving man or woman, who see in every combination of persons or things a possible revelation of a lucky number.

Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph. Superstition in Kew England. During pedestrian tours in New England, in various parts of the west and in every southern state I have frequently staid for the night at the houses of poor farmers, " laborers, fishermen and trappers. In such, journeys I have invariably listened to the tales of the neighborhood, stimulating them by suggestion, and have found the belief in witchcraft cropping out in the oldest towns in. New England, sometimes within the very shadow of the buildings where a learned ministry has existed from the settlement of the country and public schools have furnished means of education to all classes. The horse shoes seen in nearly every county and often in every township upon the houses of persons suggested the old horseshoe beneath which Lord Nelson, who had long kept it nailed to the mast of the Victory, received his death wound at Trafalgar. Dr. Buckley in Century. A Prehistoric Pot. A poison pot belonging to prehis toric Indians has been dug up near Reading. The pot is a large flat stone, with a circular pit in the center an inch deep and two inches in. diameter, bearing unmistakable evidence of having been carved out laboriously with a sharp flint instrument. It still shows plain traces of the poisons and acids which were mixed in it and used in the poisoning of arrows. The poisons extracted-from the sacs of copperheads and rattlesnakes and from certain deadly plants were used in concocting the baneful fluids. The poisoned arrows were employed by the Indians in wiHrig their enemies in war and in shooting dangerous wild animals. Few poison pots of this kind are in existence, even in the most complete museum collections of Indian relics. Philadelphia Ledger. An Arcnbbhop's Swear. What is an archbishop's swear! This curious piece of information came out by accident the other night during one of Dr. Benson's speeches in WhitechapeL He was Bpeakmg without notes, and at one particular passage waxed indignantly eloquent at the idea that such work as Mr. Barnett was doing was not good and useful work. Suddenly two words slipped out. The archbishop colored with confusion and apologized pro fusely for his inadvertence. We hasten to add that they were hardly what would ordinarily pass as very wicked words. The archbishops swear was only "My goodness." Manchester (Eng.) Tunes. Sensitiveness of a Chinaman.

"Atlantis, the" Bupposititious -continent in the 'midst of thtf Atlantic ocean, of .which so manyimazkable 4 stones . are told) la undoubtedly a . znyxn, out n is entirely certain tnat there was a real Atlantis," said 'Pro-' feasor Magee, of the geological survey.- : -.-Si. 'c; "During that ancient epoch which we call the paleozoic, nobody knows how many millions . of years ago, there was a great and Kfty conti nent in the middle of what is now known as the North Atlantic ocean. It was about 1,000 miles long from north to south, and nobody knows how wide it was. All we can tell is that its mountains ! were very high,: and that on its western slope it had long and large rivers. It was a mighty land mass, and we have, rea son for being sure that it endured ages before, at the close of the paleo zoic it had : sunk .to the level of the sea. Subsequently, though further sinking, it became a part of what is now the level plain of the Atlantic. "How do we know all this, you asked? By the traces of its former existence which this geological At lantis had left behind in the shape of sediments deposited by its rivers. Where are these sediments found t Well, the Appalachian mountains are entirely composed of them. In that distant age of which we are speaking the eastern part of the United States had not yet been uplifted 'above the ocean. When this portion of the continent did emerge from the sea the sediments I have spoken of came up with it, forming the Appalachian range among other features of what is now the land. We know that the rivers of the vanished- continent must have been long and large, be cause no small streams could have transported such sediment "You may wen imagine how in teresting it must be to the geologist to explore, hammer in hand, the Ap palachian bins for fossa forms of life which extetwrrpon this -fi mysterious land mass so many thou sands of centuries ago. Of the climate of the geological Atlantis this much may be said: It was very warm and moist, the air probably so laden with carbonic acid gas that Tna.TnTnnigt bad there been any, could hardly have breathed it with, comfort. Malaria and otner miasmatic diseases were afloat in the atmosphere. Conditions were more unfavorable for .human life than they are now in that dread' ful region known as the Delta of the Ganges, where Europeans are unable to survive. "The land of the vanished conti nent was covered wren rank and gigantic growths, notably with huge pines ana giant mosses tne coal plants destined to furnish fuel event- uauy to mankind. These plants grew more luxuriantly near the sea- It was a geat time for insects, es pecially cockroaches. The paleozoic, you will remember, is called the age of cockroaches, because of the enor mous numbers of them found in fossil shape in the strata laid down durmg the epoch. . Ages were yet to pass by before mammals could appear upon the scene, "In the seas around about the con tanent gigantic snares and armored fishes disported , themselves, together with marine reptiles, great and am an The time which has elapsed since then ia so vast that science does not attempt to make any estimate re specting its duration. So many mil lions of years have gone by since the real Atlantis sank out of sight be neath the ocean that the period is an eternity compared with -the- brief span of a single human life."
