A big puddle is never half so much rippled by its ducks as is the little puddle by one big duck, However, this does not mean that @ shipping tryst in a bath tub would be of higher effectiveness than one in the ocean. The sultan of Bacolod tries hard |: to inflame our wrath by calling us hogs, But we know too well the price of meat these days. The pity is that the sultan does not pause to consider the value of prop. erly appreciating the relative propor- tion of some ducks to sume puddles, The gentleman of Bacalod efther is looking for trouble or fame. Fame may be acquired by saying things, or by saying nothing. Same way about trouble: But if any person placed any cre dence in that “worta your weight in gold” theory, Dame Fashion would fix up some way for a woman to wear B set of platform scales. The sultan seems to be about the opvly thing that ever happened in Becolod, anyhow. Were it not for him, Bacolod would be an unknown quantity in the problem of civiliza- tion. What we are and what we are worth are mere matters of opinion, Anyway. Many a girl has been told that she is worth her weight in gold. Lots of us, too, have said that to a ton of coal.

For a woman to love some men is like casting a flower into a sepulchre. Hawthorne. It was to combat and expose quacks and fools that laughter was invent- ed.—Thackeray. Unbecoming forwardness oftener proceeds from ignorance than im- pudence.—Guville. . In counsel it is good to see dan- gers; but in execution, not to see them unless they be very great— Bacon, He only does not live in vain who employs his wealth, his thought, his speech, to advance the good of others. -—Hindoo Maxim. Poetry is not made out of the under- standing. The question of common sense is always: “What is it good for?”“%a question which would abolis. the rose and be triumphantly answer- ed by the cabbage.—Lowell.

A sewing bee can’t éing, but it does a lot of buzzing. Setting up the drinks jis what fre- quently upsets the drinker. Humanity is always ready to lend a hand—but it is often empty. Tt is said that sight drafts frequent- ly induce temporary blindness. Were it not for love many a girl would be unable to make herself mis- erable. Never advertise your troubles. If you have bow legs don’t wear striped trousers. If a man is ever carried away by his ideas it must be done when he gets into a train of thought. Honesty is undoubtedly the best policy, but a good many men some- “how fail to keep their premiums paid & up. The man who sits around and waits for his friends to find him a job is always the first to line up in front of the bar on a general invitation. FIGS AND THISTLES. Better crawl to heaven than fly to hell, All methods fail without right moz, tives. Dialectic darts will never deter the devil. Secret sins are the secret of nearly al! sia. ) To reject correction is to refuse wisdom. The best evidence of Christianity is Christ made evident in the Chris- tian. He who is wise in his own conceits is apt to be foolish in his own con- cerns. He who loves Him Jeans on Him and he who leans loves Him more: and more. Some men are kicking up a dust in tbe church to hide the dirt they make in.the world. » The grace te @o small things may “be greater than the gift of doing application was allowed at $130.91.

Will and desire make falling. in love easy. If you see anything good in a man speak of it. A good sleep works that tired feeling. “Charity begins at home,” and in half the cases it stays there. Pretty much everything has becn syndicated but common sense. All men were born equal, but you'd better not say it down in Alabama. Some people carry a heavy stock of wisdom that never yields a divi- dend. We laugh at the weakness of others, wonders for | and yet we object to others laughing at ours. Bluff goes a long way. There’s many a quitter who has never been shown up. You can’t always tell how fast a horse is by his looks, It’s easier to spot a fast man. It’s a good time now to buy your Christmas presents and turn over that new leaf. Swear off. Don’t stop just befere you get there. Often you lack but one step of your goal without knowing it. Show your interest even if you are From a coarse, world- ly stdndsoint it will pay. A pretty face, a graceful figure and thes brains to govern them make the | rarest jewel in the”world. Tke man who fails. and then sue- ceeds is more fortunate than the man who succeeds and then fails. Some people seem selfish because they have no one but themselves to consider. Warm up to some one. It is always the next generation that boasts of the fact that an an- cestor was a member of the legisla- ture. ’ That favor you did in 1884 may not yet be forgotten by its recipient, al- though you have probably let it slip your mind. Mary’s winning ways caused the lamb to leve her and the famous poem to be written. Be winsome and you may become immortal. To get an increase in wages go into the railroad business, but not too high up. It wasn’t the president of the Pennsylvania who had his salary raised, APHORISMS. Self-trust is the essence of heroism. —Emerson. Whatever enlarges hope will also exalt courage.—Joanson. An impure man is every good man’s evemy.—H\ W. Beecher. Free thinkers are generally. those who never think at all.—Sterne. A straight line is shortest in mor- als as well as in geometry.—Robel. The hypocrite pays tribute to God that he may impose upon man.— Swift. Malice can always find a mark to shoot at and a pretense to fire—Sim- mons. It is of no use running; to set c2t betimes is the main point—La Fon- taine. He who has imagination without learning has wings and no feet.— Joubert. A woman’s head is always influenc- ed by her heart; but a man’s heart by his head.—Lady Blessington. Youth will” never live to age un- less they keep themselves in health with exercise and in heart with joy- fulness.—Sir Philip Sidney. OUR OWN PHILOSOPHER. Any girl who induces a young ‘man to propose begs the question. When a man gets full it is a good time to take his bust. measure. If a man amounts to anything he doesn’t have to boast of his ancestors. Truth lies at the bottom of a well, but the angler never goes there to ' fish, It makes a woman heartsick every , time she has to cut a valuable piece of , lace, What a nice old world this would be if everybody were as polite as political candidatas! : | ' weeks, : WITH THE SAGES. scale Liberality consists rather in giving seasonably than much.—Cicero. People seldom’ improve when they. have no model but themselves to copy after.—Goldsmith. Nobleness of character is nothing else but steady love of good and steady scorn of evil.—Epictetus. Our character is but the stamp on our souls of the/free choices of good and evil we have made through’ life.— Geikie. He who will not give some portion of his ease, his blood, his wealth, for others’ good, is a poor frozen: chur).— Joanna Baillie. That alone can be called true refine- ment which elevates the soul of man, purifying the manners by improving the intellect.—Coleridge. Remember that life is neither pain nor pleasure; it is serfous business, to be entered upon with courage and in a spirit of self sacrifice—De Tocque- ville. No true man can live a half life when he has genuinely learned that it is only a half life. The other half— the higher half—must haunt him.— Pillips Brooks. i Life is no idle dream, but a solemn reality, based on and encompassed by eternity. Bind out your work, and stand to it; the night cometh when no man can work.—Carlyle. Thoughts of virtue lead to virtuous actions; acts of virtue ripen into hab- its; and the goodly and permanent re- sult is the formation or establishment of a virtuous character.—Chalmers. Experience serves to proye that the worth and strength of a state depend far less upon the form of its institu- tions than upon the character of its men; for the nation is only the aggre- gate of the individual conditions, and civilization itself is but a question of personal improvement. — Samuel Smiles. SOME POSTSCRIPTS. The word “pen” means a feather, and is from the Latin penna, a wing. Tortoise shell, however old, can be kept bright by polishing it occasionally with rouge powder. It is claimed that you can drive nails into hard wood without bending them if you dip them first in lard. German farms occupy nearly 1,000,- 000 acres in Central America on which over 20,000,000 coffee trees are planted. A dollar loaned for a hundred years and compounded at 24 per cent will amount in that time to $2,551,799,404. The oldest statue of the world is of the sheik of an Egyptian village. It is believed to be not less than 6,000 years old. Steam power is almost an impossi- bility in Southern China, fuel being one of the most expensive. Chinese luxuries. The assessed value of real estate in the State of New York, according to the board of equalization, is $5,169,- 308,070. Rev. Dr. W. D, Parr of Kokomo, Ind., bas officiated at 105 church dedi- cations, which is thought to be the world’s record, At Plinitz, near Dresden, is the larg- est camelia in Europe. It is 160 years old, about fifty feet high and has 40,- @00 blossoms each season. ALL SORTS. An early crop—the small boy’s first hair-cut. e With some 5-cent cigars you get at least six scents. The eight-day clock is a hard worker and a chronic strtker. Sometimes it is his lie-abilities that increase a man’s assets. Much of the charity that begins at home is too feeble to get next door. Any small boy in his first pair of trousers feels sorry fer his mother. The skin-deep beauty of the rhin- oceros isn’t calculated to make him vain. When it comes to a question of ‘stay- ing qualities the undertaker can lay the pugilist out. ; If it is true that the good die young it is up to the olMest inhabitant to offer an explanation. A cynic is a man whose disappoint- | ment is due to the fact that the world was made without his advice. It sometimes happens that a man puts both money and confidence in a bank—and later draws out his. confi- dence. A Kansas man boasts of running the only strictly third-class hotel in the country. It is up to other landlords indignantly to deny this assertion. CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT. He who gains time gains a good friend. E One must suffer in order to tolerate the sufferings of others. The manager of an opera compaay- is justified in putting on airs. A cat has nine lives—and at least eight of them are devoted to vocal culture. Consider the man who is always on time—and the time he wastes in wait- ing for other men. A man may be reasonably sure his friends will not forget him as long as he owes them money. A It is easier for some people. to make mistakes than it is for them to keep from criticising others. Many ‘a woman begins to wonder how she will celebrate her silver wed- ding before she has been married two There can be no serious objection to a man’s knowing it all if he will kindly refrain from saying “I told you so,” : - Now as to Your Winter Suits and Overcoat 1 have the: govds that will please you, styles that are superb, and that’s all-I need announce -=the -hundreds of sui in Grand Rapids to-day attést to “tn of Man.” Call and seé * “a | 4 Johnson; The“Fajlor, | Whose Prices'are Always Right. - FIRST-CLASS.
