The Critic's True I'unotloa.
Your individual self perfection is the
most laudable thing in the world to
strive for, but as the nucleus of a gospel
it is insipid. Frequent the busy haunts
of men who occupy themselves with kin

but sympathetically and in imagination.

And do not imagine that you can per
manently attach and benefit your kind
by the mere force of correct, gentle and
chaste diction on the one hand, or of set

on the other, because nowadays warfare
of any kind even literary criticism is
acoustomed to weapons of more robust
ness and reality, and in this sphere
preaching by specific precept is far more
efficient than preaching by general ex

Demand for Larger Dynamos.
Professor Thomson, in speaking before
the National Electric Light association,
culled to mind the great work in the
electrical field which has been accom
plished in the tost few years, and, refer
ring to the ever increasing business and
the call for lurger machines, said that
dynamos up to 500 to 1,000 horse power
are now frequently called for, where a
few years ago it was thought an unusual
thing to speak of a 1D0 or 200 horse pow
er machine, and the tendency is toward
machines of much larger capacity in
future electric installations.
With regard to heating our houses by
electricity, Professor Thomson thought
it not at all likely that we will ever lat
extensively by electricity, unless we can
find some way of converting the energy
of coal into electricity far more directly
and less wastefully than is done in steam
engines of the present day. Boston

' Tit for Tat
The following story is told of Dr. Ma-
gee, the archbishop of York designate.
Some time since the biBhop was dining
with a total abstainer, who provided
only water as the beverage of his guests
at dinner. The host, however, leaned
forward and whispered confidentially to
the bishop:
"You will find some wine in your bed
room."
An amusing look passed over Bishop
Magee's face, but his thoughts, such as
they were, were kept to himself till the
fitting time should come. Not long after
this same gentleman was dining with
the bishop in return at the palace at
Peterborough. This time the only bev
erage was wine, but the bishop leaned
forward and whispered confidentially to
his guest:
"You'U find some water in your bed
room." London Tit-Bits.
Minute Collectiuua.
There is a naturalist whose hobby con
sists in collecting the fine dust with
which the wings of moths and butterflies
are covered and forming them mto artis
tic and picturesque designs. He mounts
each single grain of dust separately, so
as to make koquets of Bowers and fern
leaves with butterflies hovering round.
Tins he does in a space occupied by the
eighth of an inch. In another design he
has a vase of passion flowers made of np-
ward of 000 grains of dust; and again he
has represented a pot of fuchsias, with
butterflies and birds, in three-sixteenths
of a square inch. Illustrated American.
Something Greek.
Modern literature, so far as the old
fashioned scholarship could misguide it,
has imitated the Roman imitators of the
Greeks, so that we have not even had
the advantage of aping at first hand, and
we are only just beginning to feel the
true Influence of the Wrecks, which is ul
ways toward the study of nature. Wher
ever one of us succeeds in representing
life, he ib seen to have done something
Greek; that is, something true, some
thing free, something beautiful, some
thing novel, something temperate.

WHAT IN TOTJIt OPINION?
Should any one ask your opinion altout
answer. boldly tM'it to.geid,
he ask you the reason why it is ho :goo,
tell him just because. If this answer does
not oonfound him by Its profundity and he
still persists, tell him that it is a new fan
gledidea. Tills will probably prove effect
ive, as it bankrupted the first iron plow es
tablishment. Should you iail in that, too,
don't give up, but insist with the powerful
argument that your grandmother never
heard of its that you can't see how mer
cury, arsenic strychnine, etc., can be im
proved upon, and that the old schools of
medicine must necessarily have exhausted,
all the stook of wisdom, and that there can
not possibly be anything left to learn. And
if all your powerful arguments have failed
to convince him of the reasonableness ef
vonr nnsitinn vou have still One Parthian
shot tell him that you are simply aston
ished j that you thought him an intelligent
man. .
Anrl still there are men and women, too
upon whom such arguments have no et
fect, but they are thinking people who are
willing to investigate betore tuey iorm an
opinion.
