MOTTO FOR A WASTE BASKET.
Atlantic Monthly.
"If all the trees in all the woods were men.
And each and every blade of grass a pen;
If every leaf on every shrub and tree
Turned to a sheet of foolscap, every sea
Were changed to ink, and all earth's living
tribes
Had nothing else to do bat act as scribes.
And for ten thousands ages, day and night.
The human race should writa and write and
write, 1
Till all the pens and papers were used up,
And each great inkstand were an empty cup.
Still would the scribblers, clustered round its
brink,
Call for more pens, more paper and riore
ink."
AMUSEMENTS OF MILLIONAIRES.
The Relaxations to Which They Re
sort as a Sanitary Necessity.
New York Cor. Philadelphia Record.
Some years ago I sat one evening
reading a volume of Prescott's histo
ries in the library of a rich Wall street
man who was a bank president at 30,
when he came in and asked me if I
really enjoyed reading such books. He
added that he found it impossible to in
terest himself in any of the hundreds of
volumes he had purchased, though he
had tried hard to do so. "When I take
them up," he said, "I Eee nothing bat
rows of stock quotations on every
page." This gentleman died at 40 and
left a large fortune which his family has
since dissipated. Had he had anything
to occupy his mind outside of his office
and when ho left Wall street he might
have lived to enjoy the pleasure J-of
spending the million ha had made. In
almost every case some special amuse
ment or point of relaxation is a sani
tary necessity for the business man
whose brain is racked by the concen
trated pressure of his six hours of daily
"street" labor.
Jay Gould is a diligent reader of
books and a cultivator of exotics. Van
derbilt never opens a book, but his
horses and stables help to freshen up
his intellect. John Jacob A6tor climbs
to the top of his house, and in a se
cluded sanctum hammers away at some
mechanical inventions that are to revo
lutionize the industrial world that is
to say, if they are ever perfected.
Yachts, horses, aviaries, dogs, flies' and
fishing-rods, or double-barreled shot
guns distract the attention of other men
of ealth from the caves which riches
bring in their train, and preserve the
mental balance of their devotees. One
well known broker keeps a select as
sortment of fowls in his back-yard, and
he has no sooner entered his front door
than he makes a bolt for the chicken
coop, where he fusses about until tho
repeated clamor of a starving house
hold calls him to dinner. His neigh
bors complain of the crowing of his
pet roosters, but he has a permit
which protects his feathered friends,
and he defies criticism. Before he kept
fowls his nights were almost sleepless ;
but now he snores all nig lit lite a
farmer.
It is the same story all around. "If
I did not do this or that I should die,
say tho.e business-worn men who have
returned to the loves and likings of
their early life for relief against "black
care." By the way, the contingent of
Wall street fishermen has returned
from the first two or three days' sport
among the trout brooks of Long Island
with immeasurable disgust on their
faces. In the teeth of a blinding snow
storm, and in some cases after wading
through respectable drifts, they found
the fish too sluggish to make a fight,
though content to be caught, provided
the fly were dropped squarely before
their jaws. Their two days diversion
will last them for some weeks.
A Familiar Chrome.
Wall Street News.
My son, if you are coming into Wall
street to speculate come well heeled.
That is, bring about $100,000 with you.
A man mry be handsome and ever so
good, but when it comes to margins the
brokers want cash.
After you have got here with your
cash you want to sit down and study a
few of the big speculators. Gould,
Yanderbilt, Sage, Keene and the re t
of the boys have their peculiar traits
and tricks. It will be worth $10,000
to you to know that when Gould turns
bull it is out of pure kindness to suffer
ing friends whose stocks have been
crawling backwards.
You will make some money. The
chances are ninety-nine in 100 that yon
will. You will feel exultant and puffed
up, and you will pity men who haven't
the nerve to speculate, lou will hnd
yourself sailing with a fair breeze and
a clear sea, and if your arms are long
enough you will pat yourself on the
back.
Then you will put your hat on your
ear and bait your hook for big fish.
YouH get a bite or two and feel
tickled to death. You may even haul
a sucker half way out of water, but
all of a sudden away goes hook anl
line and pole, and an ice wagoa knocks
you don, an omnibus runs over you, a
policeman clubs your bleeding rema ns,
and a good-hearted blind man oilers to
show you some of the dirt roads leading
to the country.
Pater Famlllas' Discovery.
London Truth.
Arriving home rather, late a fevr
nights back I was accosted by a police
man who was hanging about outside my
gate.
"Beg pardon, sir ; but are you aware
of the goings-on of your servants?
"No; ..hat do you mean':" I said
rather sharply.
"Well, sir, it's just this : there ain't
one on 'em about the place."
"Oh, nonsense," I said. "Why, they' e
all been in bed and asleep these two
hours."
"Ji.xcuse me, sir, but if you'll follow
me IH soon convince you that yon
haven't a servant in your house."
Seeing th. man was serious, I followed
him to a certain dancing saloon not
very far away. I had little difhculty m
gaining admittance, and there, sure
enough, was cook, housemaid andnur.se
disporting themselves in the mazy
valse. The nurse was the first to "spot"
me, ard I at once began to remonstrate
with her fcr neglecting her special
charge a child in arms. Imagine my
horror when, in self-defense, she pro
duced the pride of the family from a
cupboard in the corner, where she had
carefully stowed it away so that the en
joyment of the dance might not be in
terfered with.
Indianapolis Journal : If the nation
would stand it must stand for and upon

big things. Integrity does not mean
honesty in a thousand-dollar transa

little harm an opinion in his own mind,
but when he stands upon a platform, oi
speaks from the pulpit, no person can
measure the possible results of the nt

BEAUTY IN HOMESPUN.
What Houthem Women Wore Daring
the War- Cartons Makeshifts Km
ployed In Contriving Costumes.
Mary W. Early in Philadelphia Times.
Several histories and numberless
sketches have been written describing
the military straits to which our men
were brought during the late war, but
I do not know of any chronicler who has
depicted the straits for clothes to which
the women and girls of the southern
Confederacy were reduced during the
blockade. Our dry goods merchants
had a pretty good stock on hand at the
opening of the war, and this, with the
supply we had ourselves, enabled us to
get on without pressing inconvenience
for the first year of the war. Then we
resurrected from old chests and closets
all the heirlooms we could find in the
shape of ancient garments belonging to
our mothers and our grandmothers,
in which we looked very much
like a set of grown-up "Kate Greena
way" figures. We began also to resort
freely to the dyer, feeling the force of
Goldsmith's line, slightly altered:
"The only refuge is to dye." Fortunate
ly there was a woolen factory in Rich
mond during the war (the Crenshaw
mills) that turned out very soft, good
woolen cloth. There was also one, I
believe, at Scottsville, a little town
seventy miles from Richmond, on the
James river and Kanawha canal, and
one at Bousack's, in southeastern Vir
ginia. These two latter factories,
though they by no means furnished
dainty fabrics, were still of great assist
ance in clothing the people of Virginia.
There were several cotton cloth facto
ries in operation in North Carolina
during the war, and from these we
drew a large part of the cotton cloth
used in Virginia then.
In the country we had to resort to the
loom, which on all old Virginia planta
tions was used for supplying the negroes
partially, if not entirely with clothing.
Elderly negro women were set apart to
spin and weave for the others. They
carried on their work generally in a
cellar, their . wild, sweet, mournful
hymns mingling with the sound of the
shuttle or the monotonous hum of the
wheeL It was not music of so high an
order as Schubert's or Gounod's "Spinning-wheel
Song,"Jbut it had a distinctive
character and charm of its own, and
was ruled, witn a weird and plaintive
sweetness, the like of which I have
never heard except in the singing of to
bacco factory hands. During the war
homespun dresses were a good
deal used by the Virginia country
ladies for every-day wear, and I have
seen some of these dresss that looked
really pretty and jaunty on fresh young
girls. The dyes (as well as the cloth)
were a home production. Ivy leaves,
set with alum, made a pretty gray
sumac leaves and chinquapin bark made
black ; maple bark made a bright pur
ple, and beech bark made a green dye
Speaking of homespun reminds me of
a homespun ball inven by one of the
Richmond belles, not during the war,
as some might reasonably suppose, but
a year or two before, and said to be one
of the most charming and successful
entertainments ever given in Richmond.
On this occasion all the young ladies
appeared in costumes of homespun,
made up in a hundred pretty, fanciful
and picturesqiie styles.
The men of the Confederacy, those in
the army, at least, fared much better
with respect to clothes than the women
did, the government providing them
with uniforms imported from abroad
through the blockade. Occasionally
too; a women would get a prize in the
shape of a trunk or a box of new
clothes smuggled through the blockade,
in which case her toilet would be the
envy and admiration of all her feminine
friends. Persons who had friends or
relatives in Baltimore,-Philadelphia or
other northern cities would sometimes
be favored with a box of "store clothes."
I remember such a box being sent from
Philadelphia to acquaintances of mine
in Richmond, who became, in conse
quence, "the glass of fashion and the
mould of form." A plaid ribbon in
this box was lent by turns to various
friends, who looked on it as a rare and
dainty ornament, something almost
equal to the ribbon of the order of the
garter. The writer wore it to an ele
gant entertainment in Richmond the
last winter of the war.
No Need to Drown.
New York Sun.
"I always dread the return of the
season when sea bathing is indulged in,"
said a gentleman. "My family have had
several narrow escapes, and still they
have a p rfect mania for the water."
"Why, there is no need to be afraid,"
answered his friend, "if you but reta.'n
your presence of mind. When you find
yourself in deep water you will sink at
first, but. if you do not struggle you
will rise quickly to the surface again.
On' reaching it immediately draw a full
breath and throw your head back. This
will have the eff ect of placing you in 4
recumbent pos'tion on the surface f
the water. Now, this is the
most critical moment for those
who do not know what to do
next. Extend your arms at once on
a level with your shoulders, with the
palms of the hands downward, and be
gin gently paddling in the water with
the movement of the wrist only. Ex
tor your legs qu'etly and slowly in a
line with your body. If you raise your
arms, or your legs above the
surface of the water, you will sink, but
if you have the presence of mind not to
do so, and not to struggle about, you
will never sink, so long as you keep
paddling gently without any exertion.
So you may float on until yon are
picked up, or until you are numbed by
the cold."
Advice Worth Heeding.
Rockland Courier.
"No," remarked Ponsonby, "my wife
and I never quarrel, nowadays. We
agreed when either of us was sick and
wanted to grovl at the other, that we
would wait until we felt perfectly well,
and then have it out with interest
for waiting. But after we get better
and the time for growling arrives, we
feel so well that we don't want
to growl at all. Yes, it's a big thing.
Just you try it, young man. It 11 be
money in the bank to you."

An Anti-Charity Society.
Joaquin Miller's Letter.
I have been implored, and with say
age pleasure I call attention to an Anti
Charity society in New York. Could
any one believe that, as we stand upon
the verge of days which have been de
voted since the advent of Christ to uni
versal charity, that there is a great
society of that name, or rather that
nature, in New York? Well the'e is a
flourishing order of that kind here ; and
it has just held a big meeting and was
presided over and addressed by bir
men, rich men, influential men, federal
officeholders, professed Christians. One
is an ex-cabinet minister. They appeal
to the public to give no beggar a cent
Of course these are honest men.
They mean well. But I make a solemn
protest against such teachings. The
motive I do not question. Yet I cannot
see how any reasonable man or woman
can see any good to come out of this
society's doings. And it is easy to see
how much heartlessness, inhumanity,
indeed, can and must naturally grow out
of it if it is permitted to flourish. And
I repeat that it seems impossible that
at this day and age s ich an association
could be thought of for an instant.
For God's sake, let thosa who have
anything to give un I the goo 1 heart to
give it, be permitted to give unques
tioned. I do not th'uk the beggars
will get any too much. If these rich
and great men are s;ck of soein-; beg
gars i" the streets, let them be -provided
for as in Paris so that their un
seemly corpses come not between the
sweet air and their lordships' lifted
noses. Of course this association dis
claims being uncharitable. It simply
says, do not give until you investigate,
and thus get rid of beggars. And so
few investigate and fewer give. Oh,
my friend, some one richer, better than
these rich, influential men here in New
York, long since said that the poor shall
be with us always. And I reckon that
no society that ever was or ever will be
could ever do away with that pitiful
fact.
Who are the beggars? You find as
a rule that they are those who have
been wounded in this battle of life. No,
not in the body but in the brain. They
are very helpless. Let them lean just
a little on you as they limp on toward
the grave, only a few paces ahead. Look
ut any beggar you meet. Will he live
long? He or she will, nine cases out of
ten, not live the year oat. Measure his
or her intellect with yours. Repulsive?
Of course, very repulsive. But Christ
never seemed to think them so. They
mar the beauty of the city a bit. But all
the beggars out of purga'ory would
not and could not put so much shame
upon the' city as does the existence of
one anti-charity society.
The Book-Collection Craze.
New York Times.
The craze of the book -collector per
vades New York society more exten
sively than most people know. I am
acquainted with many business men
whose sole recreation is to collect rare
books. There is Brayton Ives, for in
stance, who has a delightful museum
of rarities. He runs to old and scarce
books rather than to merely costly ones.
He has many rare editions of old Eng
lish works Caxtons, Wynken de
Wordes, and so on to say nothing of
copies of early colonial Ameri
can imprints, some of them worth their
weight in gold. Robert Hoe, Jr., on
the other hand, collects beautiful ana
curious books in wonderful bindings,
illuminated missals, early examploa o
typographical art, and wonders in book
plates. Charles T. Congdou, the well
known journalist, is a bibliomaniac. An
unsophisticated friend, examining -ne
of Congdon's latest extravagances, an
Elzevir, said : "I woader how you ever
get time to read so manv books as you
buy?"
"Read 'em!" cried the book-buyer,
with disgust. ''D'ye suppose I read
them?"
"If not, what do you do with them?"
"Collect them," replied Congdon,
with an air of having settled the ques
tion beyoud any cavil.
A Cache or an Old-Time JInnter.

An old-time cache was recently dis
covered by Fred Hal leek, in Umatilla
county, Oregon, stowad away three feet

canyon. He was hunt'n? water at the

had been used as a substitute for bread.
One specimen is a sec. ion of portable
prairie dog sausage, about fiiteen inches
long. The other is a chunk of what
might be called preserved pudding. It
was apparently made from crushed
crickets, ramas and cowse, cooked into
which was a sweet decoction of sugar,
pine sap and grasshopper juice. Both
delicacies look as though they would
retain their freshness and flavor in any
climate. Old settlers say that years
ago they have seen bands of Indians go
through the country with many pack
ponies loaded down with this kind of
sausage. It was made up in strings a
thousand feet long, and was coiled com
pletely around a cay use, thus acting as
a self-fastening pack outfit.
Merlbe's Htruczle an a DramatUt.
Longman's Magazine.
Scribe once said in my hearing that
he began his career as a dramatist by
seeing thirteen of his pieces fail one
after another, and, ori the first night of
the fourteenth (doomed to a similar
fate), felt so discouraged, that he said
to his colaborateur : I give it up ; and,
when we have got through the half
dozen more that we have on hand, I
will never write another lino -.uckily,"
he added, "the fifteenth essay was iroiv
successful, and I bought a fresh packet
of pens on the strength of it." Since
then this extraordinarily prolific writer
must have enriched the French stage
with at least 800 or 900 productions of
more or less merit, while his son-in-law,
Bayard, following his example, has
contributed no less than 230.
Cannot Be Caricatured.'
Alex. E. Sweet in Texas Sittings.
I admit the artists have made frantio
efforts to caricature the dude, but that
is where the dude has the advantage
of him. He is so ridiculously absurd
that he cannot be caricatured. It is
impossible to burlesque a burlesque, or
caricature that which is already a cari
cature. No caricature of the dude is
half as amusing as the dude himself.
He is the only living creature that can
not be caricatured.

HER SECRET TROUBLES.
The Unknown Trials Which a Woman
Endured Without Complaint -Why
They Vanished.
Near the close of one of the most trying
of the few hot days or the present year a
pale, care-worn woman might have been
seen at the window of her dwelling appar
ently in a condition of complete exhaus
tion. Her efforts to meet the accumulated
duties of her household had been great but
unsuccessful, while the care of a sick child,
whose wails could even then be heard,
was added to her otherwise overwhelm
ing troubles. Nature had done much
for her and in her youthful days she had
been not only beautiful, but the possessor
of health such as is seldom seen. But
home and family duties and the depress
ing cares which too often accompany them
had proven greater than her splendid
strength and she felt at that moment not
only that life was a burden but that death
would be a grand relief. This is no un
usual experience. It is, in fact, a most
common everyday occurrence, and a great
prayer is constaatly ascending from thou
sands of homes for deliverance from the
deadly power which is enslaving so many
wives, mothers and daughters. And yet
these duties of life must be met. No wo
man can afford to turn aside from the
proper care of her home and the ones who
are committed to her care, although in do
ing theiwj duties she may sacrifice her
health, and possibly life itself. The expe
rience of one who successfully overcame
such trials and yet retained her health and
all the blessings it brings is thus told by
Rev. William Watson, Presiding Elder of
the Methodist-Episcopal church, residing
at Watertown, N. Y. He said:
"My wife became completely run down
throuKb overwork and care of a sick
member of our household, and I enter
tained serious apprehensions as to her fu
ture. She was languid, pale, utterly ex
hausted, without appetite, and in a com
plete state of physical decline. And yet
she did not, could not neglect her duties.
I have seen her about the house, tryincr
courageously to cure for the ones she loved
when I could tell, from the lines upon her
face how much she was suffering. At
times she would rally for a day or two and
then fall back into the state of nervous ex
haustion she felt before. Her head pained
her frequently, her body was becoming
bowed by pain and all hope or enjoyment
in life seemed departed. What to do we
could not tell. 1 resolved, however, to
bring back her life and vitality if possible
and to this end began'to treat her myself.
To my great reliei her system has been
toned up, her strength restored, her
health completely recovered and wholly
by the use of Warner's Tippecanoe, which
I "regard as the greatest tonic, invigorator
and stomach remedy that has ever been
discovered. 1 was led to use it more
readily as I had tested the health-restoring
properties of Warner's Safe Cure in
mj' own person and I therefore knew that
any remedy Mr. Warner might produce
would be a valuable one. I have since
recommended both Warner's Tippecanoe
and Warner's Safe Cure to many of my
friends and I know several Doctors of Di
vinity, as well as numerous laymen, who
are using both with great benefit."
If all the overworked and duty driven
women of America could know of the ex
perience above described, and act upon
the same, there can be little doubt that
much of the pain, and most of the dis
tressing influences of life might be
avoided. Such truths are too valuable to
remain unknown.

The experience In the treatment of Cancer with Swift's

afflicted are inrited to correspond with us.

ta&lly lost use of the upper part of my body and my

neck, ana from which i naa sunerea ror twenty yean.

W. K. Kobisom, Darisboro, Oa.
Two months ago my attention was called to the case
of a woman afflicted with a cancer on her shoulder at
least tire Inches in circumference, angry, painful, and
giving the patient no reat day or night f r six months.
I obtained a supply of Hwift's Specific for her. She has
taken S bottles and the ulcer is entirely healed np. only
a very email scab remaining, and her health is better
