FORCE OF HABIT. firmer Dull Tlwlr Naturti! AptkV Farmers and their sons frequent dwarf their intellects and dull their natural aptitude lor successful bust pursuits, by neglecting to be constantly .1.! . Ti I.. .L t learning BOiiieMiug usiuui. it 18 me lm pivssion of many farmers that they have I J I no time to rvuu mu siunuuru usuim hooks, from the fact that after a hard day's toil they are too weary to read while they rest. There may bo some plausibility in such an excu.se to on who has never gone through the hurry aiid drudgery of lonr and weary days 0n the prairie, ltut it is not true. It is a rare case if a farmer ho not many hours oi luisure eacn weeK, not required for labor or sleep, which could and should be devoted to storing his mind and making it active and useful. The minil. like the muscles of the body, if not exercised and strengthened by use and culture, will become inactive, dor mant and feeble, so much so that the man has not the ability nor inclination to read or stuuv, ami therefore con duties there is no time to do so. The writer, in his long life, has witnessed bright boys growing up to manhood. neglecting to store and strengthen their mmds until bv long habit they had no desire or hardly capacity to exercise the brains 1'rovitlence had endowed their with. Such living cases are now in our minds of aged farmers who started out in life with a reasonable amount of intellect, and who might have been bright and useful men, or ornaments to societies and an honor to the families they have raised. But thev commenced, as too many do yet, worked hard with limited educations, but who never appear to appreciate the value of useful lessons to be acquired bv careful readins, at leis uretime, the standard books on historv, art and science. Habit soon deadened all such aspirations. They reared large families of a down grade of intellect and accumulated property, but when they really ought to have been in the prime or Wo they were premature old men ana nave a poor prospect ot enjoy ing that evening of rest and content ment which beautilies and blesses the man who has lived right. Instead of enjoyment in life's evening of physical rest,' bv the aid of an aetivo mind, still eager in the desire to acquire more mental diet of a character to prepare them not only for life's afternoon, but foreternity, they are barely waiting to die. The writer last fall visited the scenes of his early life, to meet the few of hi? hovhnod associates who are vet nursu ing life's journey. Ho foun J only rust and mildew when he should have met ripe old men with little impairment by old age. They had exemplified in their lives the truth of the inexorable physical law, as well as the law of God, that he who buries his talent, "that which he hath shall be taken from him." The habit of dwarfing their minds by not using them, until thev have no desire for literary or mental culture, had re dered them pitiable objects of contem plation. In their eyes there was no more sparkle of life or intelligence than in the lowest order of dumb brutes. Their enjoyments appeared to be of no higher order than that ot the oyster in Its native bed. From their youth uo they had buried their talents, and that -which they had wasdormant. silent and stupid. So we say t the farmer boys. Improve your talent, or you shall not have it to enjoy. town Stale lletjirtcr. HOTEL THIEVES'. The Wy The; Conduct Their Operation! With Nurreas. "I see by the dispatches that the hotel thieves are making business for the de tectives in Chicago and the West gen erally," said Chief of Detectives Kelly last night. "Aside trom the expert bank burglar and house-breaker, the only criminals who can command any respect from the detective is the expert hotel thief." added the Chief, retleet ively. "Why? Because ho must be intelligent, adroit and possessed of a perfect nerve. In point of intelligence I would even rank the hotel thief nbove the bank burglar or sneak, who are ao corded the front rank in the criminal profession. Prerequisite to the hotel thief are education and a good ad dress, which is usually obtained by travel. lie is generally dignified; weli, but quietly dressed, and with the gen eral appearance of a man of business. The crack hotel thieves ordinarily travel in pairs, although they are, to all ap pearances, unknown to each other. "The first night after registering at a hotel they sleep late, and when roused by the chambermaid request her to call them at noon. When the maid has completed her labors in the corridor in which their rooms are located their business begins. The vacant rooms are located, and while one thief stands on watch his confederate effects an en trance to an unoccupied room by means of a skeleton key and closes the door behind him. He then rapidly boros a hole immediately over the bolt and tills up each end with white putty. If the lock is a double one, as is the case in many first-class hotels, a small hole is drilled through it so that nippers can be used on the inside lock in turning the key after the victim has retired. A Lalf dozen rooms can be 'fixed' in this way within an hour. This completes the work for the morning. The afternoon is utilized in making themselves "solid" w ith the regular guests over the bar and in watching' the register for guests as signed to the 'fixed' rooms. "When every one has gone to bed one thief resumes his watch and 'pipes IT' the watchman while his confederate works the rooms. This is done in short order and the thieves are away by day light. The tools used by the hotel thieves are of the finest tempered steel nd consist of a 'bar-key,' used for open ing big locks; a set of six bits, arranged for cither stein or tumbler locks; a small drill, a tile, a sectional stem or 'widdy.' several pieces of wire and a pair of nippers. Some puttv or pig ment is also included in the kit, which is easily carried about the person. I am glad to say that we have not had a professional hotel thief in Philadelphia during the part year."

Tho title used was honestly acquired as attested by tli a t mo-tinted sheep-skin and many a victory over the grim messenger through the healing art. Tho doctor ceased his pro'essional work years ago, but he st 11 d lights in living over the pa.-t by r ea l ng its incidents. He was in slippers a nl gown. H s silvery giey hVr was where his exploring fin gers hud left it, his well-worn stock wa awry, ami the tips of his old-fashioned standing collar were broken over by frequent turnings of his venerable head. When ho walked about the room it was with short steps and his sl'pper heels perversely declined to leave the Moor. When he took the old brass-knobbed poker and prodded the grate tire, it was apparent from the vigor with which he smashed the lumps tli lit he had sotm forcible ideas. Final ly I hey demand. -d expression. "Did you see au account of the quar rel some of tht physicians engaged in the other n'ght?" "Yes. sir.'7 "To me that is a sad commentary upon tho profession. I grew tired of it principally because our ranks were so thiokly crowded by charlatans nnd quacks who procla'm on walls, fences and curbstones their infallible antidotes for all the ills to wh'ch llesh is heir. Imagine how I felt when reading some self-styled professor's bombast o asser tion that he could restore old age to youth, feebleness to strength, impend ing death to exultant life. Diseases the most desperato and radical were sought for to cxliib't the etlieacy of some p. II or compound of wh'sky and cherry hark that was vaunted as an un failing specific for an endless 1 st of d s orders which had no more relation or similarity than the Queen of Sheba and the man in the moon. These humbugs never rend medicine. They were in spired by a genius of evil and had gen erally failed at honest employment. Their chimerical schemes found favor with the people because they love to bo humbugged. I had and still retain an exalted opinion of the medical profes sion. Popular ignorance was largely responsible for tho success of the quacks, but the greatest prot ction ngainst them lay with the . legit mate practitioners.- Their jealousies pre vented that harmony, that concert of action, that united front against the in roads, of thesis vultures that would have done so much to maintain the dignity and supremacy of those who are properly trained to a noblo art. Doctors may not be as bad as actors but they are bad enough, and nothing but the gravest causes justify an exhi bition of internal d (Terences. It low ers the dignity of the calling. This self-nr'dc is a foible crafted upon our human nature, and it is the mark of true worth to overcome it Self-re- tra:nt, charity and liberality of views are exalted virtues that doctors should cultivate." Detroit Post. WHAT IS A MEHDI ? An Aiiolrnt Title Hit Former and Its M ire Modern Signification.. Mehdi, or Mahadi, as D'Heibelot spell it, is an a-cient title in the Moslem world wh'ch at first s'gnified s mply direcror of the faithful. But in the course of Moslem history, nnd es pecially Moslem history in Afrci, it came to have another signilication re lated to on accepted prophecy of Mo hammed It necessarily refe.-s to the Afr can part of Arabic history. By ths secondary significance of the word the Mahadi is a ccrta'n ancient leader come nga;n. His appearance is the " second advent " of a prophet who lived in the old days, nnd who in all the meantime has been with the im mortals. Mohammed, the twelfth Iman, and the twelfth descendant from Ali. is the reat. Ho is the Mahadi who comes again every now 'and then. He was hidden from the world at an early age, and communed onlv with h s disciples through his lifetime, and finally did not die, but "went up" with tiie fixed intention of return ing to revive the glories of Moslem. As n the Chr.stian theory, and even in tho history of several monarchies, this esend of a prince who is to return has afforded a pretext for no end of im postors, as it did in Islam. The most famous of theso in past nges was Abiil cassem Mohammed Ben Alid.illah, the founder of the Fatiinito dynasty in Africa. Mohammed had prophesied that in :100 years the sun would rise in tha west, and as Abulcassem's glory was in '2 of the llcgira, it wis held that the prophecy referred to h m. and since then the idea of tho Mahdi has commonly had relation to a revival of tho clones of Islam m tnat western world of Moslemism, the provinces of Africa held by the Arabs. Perhaps we bhould not pluniie ourselves too much over a race of men who aro yet con trolled by a vivid conviction that their loader was born a thousand years 'ago. We believe in leaders whose claims to allegiance are equally as ridiculous. N. r. Herald. A Fortune in Beeswax. "Did ye ever hear of the original dis coverer of the Toughnut Mineat Tomb stone? Well, he was a regular tender foot from 'way back, and was workin' with two partis on mo cia:m, an one da'." ho c.inia uti from the bottom of the f; an' says he: 'Boys,' said he, m plaved out, and I ain'i got no more hrart iu th s racket I allow as 1,. no- n 4 I whs etrkin? anything like orel'd stand it out there, but may ye I t sit on my grave 1 i a n i working dccs wax.' ai'd he showed his pards a piece f -n .L- ii.i Vlir n.irorpil with drown J L iut.il i. i 1 ' V gubslanee as d.d look uncommonly like wax.
