WORDS OF WISDOM
Wrinkles are the tombs of love
To makes pleasures pleasant shorten
them
The man who procrastinates struggles
with ruin
Wellarranged time is a sign of a well
ordered mind
The smallest act of charity shall stand
us in great stead
A noble nature can alone attract the
noble and alone knows how to retain
them
Circumstances form the character but
liko petrifying matters they harden v hile
they form
The great high road of human welfare
lies along the old highway of steadfast
well doing
Every tomorrow has two handles
We can take hold of it by the handle of
anxiety or the handle of faith
In life it is difficult to say who do you
the most mischief enemies with the
worst intentions or friends n ith the best
The intellct of man sits enthroned
visibly upon nis forehead and in his eye
and tho heart is written upon his coun-
tenance
Wc sleep but the loom never stops
and the patternwhich was weaving when
the sun went down is weaving ivhen it
comes up tomorrow
Count your resources learn what yoi
are not fit for and give up wishing forit
Learn what you can do and do it vUh
the energy of a man
The essential difference between a
good and a bad education is this that
tl VfT S i t3r B the child on by mak-
ing it sweet to him the latter drives
the child to learn by making it sour to
him if he does not
A tenderhearted and compassionate
disposition which inclines men to pity
and feel the misfortune of others and
which is even for it own sake incapable
of involving any man in ruin and misery
is of all tempers of mind the most amiable
and though it seldom receives much
honor is worthy of the highest
The Most Prosperous Tropical Island
Java is recorded as the most fertile and
prosperous tropical island oa the globe
It is south of Borneo and the fourth
island of the Malavan archipelago in size
having an area of 50260 square miles It
is a colonial possession of Holland The
surface of the island is mountainous a
range of lofty peaks running from ono
end of the island to the other and an
other range skirting the south coast All
of these mountains arc of volcanic forma-
tion and tljcrearc on the island thirty
eight volcanoes the most of them con
stantly active Some of the most terrible
mipt ions on record liavc occurred on this
iUand Between the peaks of the moun-
tains in the central part of the island are
several plateaus which are very fertile
and have a delightful climate owing to
their elevation above the hot districts of
the shore Along the north side of the
island is a long low and very fertile
plain All of the island is well watered
The seasons are two the wet and the dry
and the temperature of the island is very
equable All tropical fruits birds and
animals abound in the lowlands and on
the high plateaus all grains and fruits of
temperate climates can be successfully
next in importance then comes rice of
which two crops are annually raised in
digo pepper tea and tobacco are also
exported The imputation of Java is es-
timated at over 17500000 About 30
C00 Europeans reside on the island there
are about 100000 Chinese and some

Gorgeous Mirrors
A reporter of the Chicago Ilfrald
wandered into a place on River street
where a member of a firm of mirror
makers kindly took him over the estab
lishment A most interesting sight it
Eroved to be From one hundred to a
undrcd and fifty men and boys are
employed in this factory which occupies
four floors of a large building On the
first floor were immense piles of plate
glass ranging from big sheets of glass
200 by US inches down to the small
pieces for hand mirrors Men and boys
were polishing glass Sime were run-
ning large sheets over big wheels covered
with felt thickly powdered with rouge
which is used in polishing Others were
polishing by hand large pieces
laid on tables These being too
large for the machinery muscular
looking men with bared arras and brows
drenched with perspiration vigorously
rubbed the surface with felt covered
blocks dipped in rouge After the glass
is thoroughly polished it is taken up to
the next floor where it is laid on tables
and cut into the sizes ordered It then
passes into the hands of the bevclers
who with sand and water and large
grindstoncsartisticalyfinUh heedges of
the glass It takes a trip upward again
to another floor and is once more put
through a polishing process to remove
any scratches or blemishes that may be
on the glass After every spot or scratch
no matter how minute has been removed
careful hands convey the now beautiful
and sparkling glass to the room where it
goes through the final process the silver-
ing Huge tables of cast iron or stone
made like billiard tables with nii > ed
edges are used ia the silvering room
These tables are of great strength and
solidity and all around the edge is a
drain for the superfluous mercury 3Ier
cury is poured over the tables in quanti-
ties sufficient to float the glass which
aft erbeingtinfoiled is gently and carefully
pushed across the table containing the
mercury Great care must be taken to
prevent blemishes the least speck
of dust being ruinous to the
mirror Mercury like molten
lead is always covered with
a dirtylooking scum which cannot be
removed by skimming The lcat bit of
this scum would spoil the mirror so the
difficulty is obviated by shoving the
scum along w ith the edge of the glass
After successfully floating the gla < s on
the mercury awollcn cloth U spread
over the whole surface and square iron
weights are applied until the whole
presents a compact mass of iron two
or three pounds to the square inch
After this pressure has been continued
for ten or twelve hours the weights are
removed and the glass placed upon
another table of wood with a slightly in-
clined top The inclination is
gradually increased until the unamalga
mated quicksilver has drained away and
only the perfect amalgam remain coat

Indians or Venezuela
United States Consul Plumacher has
sent to the Department of State from
3laracaibo an interesting report on tho
habits of the Indians who live on the
peninsula of Goajira in Venezuela This
territory he says is chiefly remarkable
for its entire abandonment into the
hands of the Indians who have sue
cccdcd up to the present day in pre-
serving their absolute independence
recognizing no authority except that of
their own chiefs Among the curious
customs the Consul tells of oncincascs of
sclMndieted injuries If an Indian ac-
cidentally wounds himself breaks a
limb or meets with any similar accident
his mothers family immediately demand
of him the payment of blood on the
theory that as his blood is also their
own lie had no right to shed it without
fniifcin compensation The relatives of
his father also claim the payment of
sejulije he was to be told that on v j 1

their tears which are of less value Even
the friends who may have witnessed the
accident are entitled to compensation
for the grief into which they were
plunged at seeing their companion suf-
fer Says the Consul
lf an Indian borrows a horse from a
friend and is thrown or in any way in
jured his relatives demand compensa-
tion from the owner of the animal
alleging with undeniable logic that the
accident could not have happened had
he not lent it Incase a penon is in-
jured by his own animal he himself must
compensate his relatives accordingly
The Shaker Dance
The expression on the faces of the
men and women was not solemn but
pieoccupied religious and absorbed It
was evident that this dancing and palm
gesturing is subordinate to a general sys-
tem of suiting the action to the word
which is destined toemphasize the poetry
of sentiment by adding to it the poetry
of motioo Hence when the visiting
elderess from Mt Lebanon told the con-
gregation that her associate elderess was
detained and could not come but sent
her love to them Elder Avery remarked
Let us all gather in our sisters love
Thereupon the entire congregation threw
out their palms and returned them with
a waving motion toward their hearts
each one whispering We gather in out
sisters love repeating this gesture
several times but all in unison
The combined dancing bowing ges
turing and palmwaving does succeed in
absorbing more of the attention of thos

Silvering mirrors is an unhealthy em-
ployment and the men cannot work at it
more than two or three hours daily
They must be strictly temperate and ab-
stain from all use of alcohol drinks
They need nerves of steel to be able to
endure the horribly earsplitting j > cne
trating sounds of the grindingroom
Another process less dangerous is used
In making mirrors tilted the patent back
A solution of colorless liquid is poured
over tho glass which is laid on a tabic
and steamed for a time Then after the
mirror is developed the back is minted
with a dark red paint applied with soft
camels hair brushes It is quite simple
and quickly accomplished but it is only
used in the cheap st grades of glass

Tea and CoiTcc
About the time our forefathers de-
cided to boycott tea in England
Benjamin Franklin estimated the con-
sumption in the Colonies at ten pounds
per head per annum The population
was in the neighborhood of three mill-
ions The boycott wa very destruc-
tive o the probtstftbe East India Com-
pany which was forced to decline the
payment of 4000000 per annum
pledged to the BritUh Government In
Boston harbor the cargoes of tea were
infused in the salt water of the bay
Franklin w as probably mistaken in liis
estimate of the consumption of tea in the
Colonies in 1773 or he may have meant
to include adults only The present im-
portation of tea to this country amounts
to about 72000000 pounds loss 0000000
exported This involves a consumption
of only a little than one pound per capita
about onefifth of the present consump-
tion in Great Britain Coffee is our
national drink the consumption averag-
ing nearly ten pounds per head againt
but little more than half a pound in Eng-
land The coffee crop was short in 1 SsB
in Brazil to the extent of two million
bags 130 pounds each as estimated the
product being 6000000 bags instead of
eight This was the result of a pro-
tracted drouth Damage by rain in
Septembcrand November 18S0 threatens
a further reduction in the crop of the
present year In lMU coffee which was
rated at seven and a half cents in April
was held at thirteen before the end of the
year Brazil supplies us with more than
twothirds of all the coffee in u c and

I stand where the moons pal silver
Lies dreaming on the sea
Across tho waves in tremblin lines
Of glittering filigree
And wber from heavens faroff hrtgnt
The stars look down on me
The dram black fokls of deeping wav
With Kluntberoos lengthened swells
The crescent enrr of murmuring sands
Potted with gleaming shells
And floating past In hollow tones
A ghostly sound of belli
far out a dusty vessel swings
At anchor safe the rides
And swaying chains clank niournfullj
gainst her shadowy sltW
Secure in Ocean s arms she rests
Rocked by the puking tides
Ihe moon goes slowly up the heights
Above the milky way
Pale Pian of the silver bow
Who searches for tho day
Up up through dusty midnight leagnes
Past flying cloud + bapes gray
And overhead Orion waits
To usher in the dawn
When sheer adown the sable steeps
The lingering stars have gone
And still hk silent soldiery
The waves march on ami on
Oh night as thou art l iatif ul
Oh night as thou art grand
Speak to my soul in whispers hers
Beside this quiet strand
What means thy solemn mystery
That broods oer sea and land 1

language He can speak and write
twentyeight tongues including the
Chinese and three African languages
and is also eminent as a priest hymnolo

his universal language in 1678nnnounccd
it in 1870 and had o far perfected it in

The Insect World
Were it possible to take a census of the
individual insects upon the globe tho
result must be an array of figures of
whose meaning we could form little con-
ception Members of each species multi-
ply in countless millions yet even the
number of distinct species is so great
that we can hardly do more than guess at
it Entomologists generally concede that
upward of 100000 species of insects
have been recognized and some authors
place the number as high as 150000
while it is probable that these may repre-
sent not more than a tenth of the num-
ber actually inhabiting the earths sur-
face Probably not less than onehalf
of the indicated forms sap Professor
Heilprin belong to the order Coleop
tcra or beetles which is by far the most
numerously represented of alt the orders
The Lepidoptera or butterflies havo
thus far yielded some 15000 species
or about onethirteenth of the total num-
ber 00000 estimated by Speyer for
the world at large and an equal number
may perhaps be credited to the Hy
menoptcra bees wasps and ants tho
Hemiptera bug and Dlptcra flies
The Orthoptera or ft mightwinged in-
sects which includo the locusts grass-
hoppers etc arc considerably leas
numerous while the species of netted
forms Xcuroptera probably number
only about 2000 The insects are most
numerously devclopcu in the tropics but
they arc by no means rare in the coldest
regions reached by man Sir George
Narcs brought home no les than forty
fire species of true insects from beyond
the seventy eighth pjrillrl of J tide in
GrinneULand and more than 300 in Ire-
land Many of the insects of earlier
geological ages arc known to us as fossils
from the rocks the c being found by
