THE TALE-BEAEER.
I'arrion's Observations on
KfToct of False Statements.
the
In many communities, lesser and
preater, there ma still bs found the
tale-bearer who, as in Solomon's
days, separates chief friends ; fre-

unforiotten formula. "N'nwvnii liniicfr
; not mention it for your life ; but she
o -- 7 -- J - -
satu mat you were a vulvar, tnrlv
thin
." Many, indeed, are the
things so said which recur to the un
willing memory. But there are mat
ters which it is degrading to recall,
even to gibbet them. I wish heartily
I could forget a great deal which
comes back to me as I write this line.
John Stuart Mill said that one marked
difference between the educated and
the uneducated class is that the lat
ter will readily tell a falsehood ; the
former will not. It is sad that one's
experience appears sometimes to
testify that the deplorable tendency
has its place in some individuals of
either class.
Let a rule be here laid down which
ought never under any circumstances
be departed from.
Never listen to one who proposes to
tell you something a friend has said
to your prejudice, you pledging your
self never to speak to your friend on
the matter. Here you have como
across the basest and most cowardly
of all backbitersand mischief-makers,
likewise the vulgarest. Your course
here is plain. Say to the cowardly
tale-bearer: "I warn you that if you
say one word I shall go straight and
tell my friend that you told me this
story and ask if it is true." Dr.
Chalmers' mother alway. net any bit
of spiteful tattle with words to "this
effect It was pleasing to see how
the mischief-maker hastened to back
out of the story. And the mischief
maker did not come back to Mrs.
Chalmers a second time, unless a
greater fool than common.
A little organization has gone on
smoothly for years, its members
trusting one another and working
harmoniously together. But in an
evil hour the mischief-maker is ad
mitted to that small society. Soon
there is suspicion and drawing off;
possibly the whole thing blows up.
Each has been secretly poisoned.
No doubt each ought to have cut the
mischief-maker short, but not all had
wisdom and firmness to do so.
You remember, I doubt not, how
the mischief-maker once offered,
"from a sense of duty," to relate to
you circumstances which tended to
make you doubt your best friend. He
"wished to caution you." You cut
him short, finally. But what, if that
whisper had got hold of you? Of
course, you would have asked your
friend about it, and things would
have been cleared up. But some
folks dread a scene and avoid it.
And such leave a painful impression.
Tho repetition of them ends in alien
ation.
One has known human beings
much perplexed to know why, after
being made t great deal too much of
in certain places, they were suddenly
dropped. A modest man would say ,
Because I made a bad impression ;" I
disappointed people. Years after, it
came out that it all came of the skill
ful misrepresentations and innuen
does of a clever and (in the main)
good man. But he could not bear to
sec 3'our promotion. The frantic
tenacity with which some men keep
hold of some trumpery privilege is
even exceeded by their frantic terror
lest any neighbor should get hold of
it, too.
When falsehoods are systemat
ically told by a man (not designed to
keep a neighbor back or down) his
purpose generally is tomake himself
of consequence. He is influential;
holding strings in his hand ; playing
off one against another. Privately
tell A that B abused him ; privately
tell B that A abused him. If they be
vulgar souls, the' will listen to you.
And no doubt you are a sneaking
tale-bearer; yet you have a certain
influence which possibly you could
get in no other way.
When falsehoods are systemat
ically told by a woman, if old, she is
Epaetui. one wants to give pain
and make mischief. If middle-aged,
things are not so bad. Her main
desire is to be talking about herself.
She is always the heroine of her fibs.
And she would talk of herself for
ever. She would rather tell evil of
herself than tell nothing. A. K. II.
B., in Longman's Magazine.
Sort of a Family Resemblance.
Ex-Postmaster General Frank Hat
ton has a fourteen-year-old son who
resembles his distinguished father in
many particulars.
"Pa," said he the other day, "I've
made up my mind where I would
like to go to college."
"Aha," replied his father, "and
where is it, my boy?"
"To Yassar," said the precocious
child.
"Humph!" ejaculated the proud
father; "darned if I wouldn't like to
go there m'self."
Mrs. Tabor, the first wife of Colo
rado's millionaire, has probably more
money at command now than her
former husband. She is set down for
$2,000,000.
Items of Interest.
The department of state has pub
lished a work on the hulling and
polishing of rice in foreign countries.
In Maine it is estimated that there
arc 12,000 colonies of bees, and tho
annual honey crop is worth about
$40,000.
Cattlemen in Indian Territory are
getting off the reservations as rapidly
as possible, and will all be out before
cold weather.
In the States of Ohio and Illinois
a loss is reported in the number of
hogs and sheep returned for taxation,
while the number of cattle exhibits a
gain.
The exports of cattle from Montreal
to Great Britain since the opening of
navigation to the middle of July lias
been over 19,000 head, an increase of
5,000 since last year.
We hear next to nothing of the
sorghum industry this season. If
there ever was any sorghum industry
in this country, aside from the sale
of seed-crushere and evaporators, it
appears to be in a bad way.
In Arizona and northern Mexico
experiments are being made with the
castor-bean for the manufacture of
oil. The estimates give 1,500 plants
to the acre, which produce GOO pounds
of beans worth $180.
A car of full-blooded Hereford
3tock, owned by the Cosgrove Live
Stock Company, of Le Sueur, Minn.,
was burned September 23. The
stock was valued at $0,000. Two
men who were in the car jumped off
and were badly injured.
The ship Iianmoer, which arrived
in Liverpool recently, had on board
7,000 carcasses of frozen mutton
brought from South America. This
is the second consignment to one firm
in Liverpool. Some carcasses of beef
were also received.
At some chemical laboratories cru
2ible3 of nickel have been adopted in
the place of the silver ones generally
used for melting caustic alkalies.
They have the advantage not only of
being cheaper, but of being capable
of resisting a higher temperature
than the silver.
It is an exploded theory that one
ring grows upon a tree every year.
The Agricultural Department at
Washington finds that trees of six
years showed twelve rings ; of twelve.
wenty-one; of five, eleven; and of
wentv-four, twenty ; the trees being,
respectively, locust, hickory, crab
apple, and oak.
The difference in hardiness in
strawberries, says E. B. Underbill,
depends more upon the position of
their blossoms than anything else.
If blossoms look up, thev will be
killed at thirty-two degrees ; if they
look down, they will endure twenty-
sight degrees or less, according to
shortness of stems and overlapping
foliage.
Prof. A. Landmark, chief director
of the Norwegian fisheries, finds that
tinder favorable conditions a salmon
may sometimes jump sixteen feet
perpendicularly, and that when the
fish's leap is a foot or two short of
jhc height of the waterfall, it often
3ucceeds in completing the ascent
by a dexterous use of the tail.
The American Angler tells of a gen
tleman who witnessed the murder of
twenty baby trouts by mosquitoes
near Denver. As soon as the trout
rose to the surface of the water and
exposed the tip of its head, a mos
quito would dart upon it, drive its
sting into the brain of the fish, and
proceed to gorge itself with the life
blood. M. Fordoz gives a very simple and
useful method for detecting lead in
the lining of culinary utensils. The
vessel, being carefully cleaned to re
move grease, a drop of nitric acid is
applied to any part, and a gentle
heat is used to dry the spot. A drop
of solution of iodide of potassium is
applied to the spot; and, if lead be
present, a yellow iodide of lead is
formed.
Nectar in the flowers is controlled
largely by electricity in the atmos
phere. When storms are frequent,
the general report is that the blos
soms contain no nectar. Cyclones,
tornadoes, hail-storms, thunder, and
lightning are largely the cause of a
poor honey crop. The past two sea
sons were surprising examples of too
much electricity in the atmosphere,
with a corresponding lack of honey.
Through an examination on a
charge of violating the United States
internal revenue laws at Syracuse, a
defendant under oath stated that he
manufactured raspberry wine after
the following fermula: "Sixteen
gallons of water, forty-eight pounds
of sugar, one pound of tartaric acid,
and some aniline, well stirred up in
an ordinary wash boiler; add a small
quantity of violet root and a pint of
alcohol, and tho raspberry wine is
completed."
President Thorpe stated at the
recent meeting of the American
florists that he estimates that 24,000,
000 cut-ro3es were sold last year, and
about 125,000 carnation " flowers.
These were raised under 600 acres,
in the aggregate, of glass; but his
estimates are too conjectural to be
very accurate. The amount paid for
imported Dutch bulb3, chiefly tulips
and hvacinths, amounted to about
$200,000. The business has grown
four-fold in ten years, and catalogues
have increased live-fold.

A careful housewife upon entering I
her kitchen said to the colored cook :
" Great goodness, Jane, you must 1
be more careiui. ion are not clean
enough in your cooking."
"Lady," replied tne cook, as sue .
took up a piece of beef that had fallen I
on the floor, "I sees dat ver's gwine
ter act foolish wid me. Ain't yer got j
nothin' ter do 'cept ter fool roun' out
heah?"
"It's my business to come out here
occasionally."
"All right den, hab it yer own
way, but I wanter say one thing.
Ef yer wants ter 'joy yesse'f at de
table, an' eat wid er 'comin' apertite
yer'd better stay outen dis kitchen.
Yas," she added, as she wiped a dish
with a dirty rag, "yer'd better not

A Great Southern Itemedj-,
Simmons Liver Kegulator, purelj
vegetable, is universally used in the
South to arouse the torpid liver to
healthy action. It cures malaria, bil
iousne.s, d j spepsia, headache, constipa
tion and piles. No Nausea or griping.
It is most effective in starting the secre
tions of the liver, causing the bile to act
as a cathartic. Itegulates; the bowels
and imparts vigor and health to the
