More things than fire are good ser- vants and bad masters—useful in due proportion and when under orderly control—baleful and deadly in excess. Among these is that well-known pro- cess in private life familiarly called “blowing up.” Now the house or establishment where ructions and blowings up are the, order Of the day cannot do well. An occasional storm clears the air,_both at- mospherically and socially, but when we have a succession of tempests, one after another, with no breathing space between, then, if you like, we come to devastation, not‘a. Wholesome clearance —to.sdisastrous disturbance—in the placevoizabeneficent, albeit severe, ac- llvltrygf Domestic7tornadoes always roaring through the house are inflictions on the souls of the unhappy inmates sub- ject to their. violence, which almost excuse the gravest kinds of protest. In 51.19.1111 home we may be sure we shall'find‘ that the servants are mostly had, partly because the good ones Iw111 not Stay, and the unsatiSfactory are made wo1se by continual scolding and suspicion, the boys are either fast and outward,_or broken down into mean- spirited milksops; the girls are either tricky-or. deceitful,- according to the craftlof’slaves,‘ defiant, .unhomed and recalcitrant. . II .I . ‘I ' Can wemuch wonde1 ‘3 To be sure, the supreme grace would be divine loveliness of patience—which is not meanness of spirit, the holy virtue of submissio 1—which 1s not slavishne‘ss. T1113 would be the ideal, but, alas, ideals are fin to seek and hard to find, andwe-must put up with human na- ture as we have it—that mass of po- tential good or ev il which. in faith, can be so largely, if not quite wholly, moulded to beauty 01 to deformity—— whichvcan be made good and happy by lolle and wise discipline—racked and wretched by tyranny and harshness— or left to become prodigals and was- trels by neglectvand'want of training. This. is where domestic tornadoes are always about and ructions never cease. And we all know homes of this kind,where we long for the stern disci~ pline’ of the long past paternal age, when the community took cognizance oi the affairs Of the individual, and the elders of the church and the appointed oiiicers of the local administration in- Quired into private abusese-and pun- ished the Ofiender. A recognized law in general society -—unwritten, but absolute nevertheless ——is to return in kind all hospitality received. So far from being based upon na1 row and sordid p1 inciples, it is, on the contrary, the outcome of legiti- mate 1ndependence. A desire not to incur obligations that cannot adequately be met is avery natural one, and this is precisely why a strict interchange of hospitalities is the dominant rule among those Who entertain. ’ SO thoroughly. is this understood that many who cannot Offer a return in this direction decline to accept invita- tions for this ostensible reason, while otherswho do accept them find that, when it becomes apparent that no re- mm is f01 thcoming, the' 1m; itations are liar less frequent. . If they do not cease altogether. This more especiallyapplies to dinner in- vitations given to married couples. on the other hand, young men and young girls are exempt from the obliga- tion of giving a return; they are in- nited without any expectatiOn of the kind, and, knowing this, accept as readily as the invitations are given. This give and-take custom effects in a measure both: widow ladies and un- married ladies' 1n a somewhat similar way as with regard to married couples, although motto the same extent. Yet, - as a rule, those who do notgive dinners are the recipients outside their circle ofnelatives. Here and there, hOweve1, asmart, agreeable, widow or a popular maden lady is invited because she is all this and more, but the exception almost demonstrates the rule. It may be taken for granted that, when the afore‘ said ladies do not enter the lists as dinner~givers, it is because they can- not aliord to do so, whereas those whose incomes are large are among the most liberal of dinner-givers,and often return hospitality with gracious 'alacrity.

Joseph Ladue, who was summon ed to W ashington recently for a con- fe1ence with the Sec1eta1y Of W211 1e- ga1d1ng the means of furnishing relief to Dawson City miners, has sold=a large number of his choice lots in Dawson City, some of his best placer claims, and a magnificent quartz mine, besides his rich timber limit, including a saw- mill which is earning $1350 a day net, to the Joseph Ladue Gold Mining and Development Company of Yukon. The directors of this company are among the most Conservat ve and prominent men in the financial circles of New York. Those who are interested in the Klondike should read the notice of the new company printed in this issue. This is a Good One. That truth is stranger than fiction is illustrated by the following ~true story, relates the Lapeer Press. About forty years ago a boy was kicked by a horse. The physician attending the' case found his skull was broken and . a good share of his brains had leaked out; Thinking. to do the best he could and knowing it would not do to leave the place vacant, the doctor took' some buckwheat flour, and making a thick batter, trephined the, skull and filled the cavity. That boy lived and grew to be a man, weighs 250 pounds, and is as smart as most men. Living not far from Oakwood, he does business In Lapeer. quite often and is all right, only once in a while that buckwheat batter will rise and than he is daft for a time. .1 .4 TO RENT.
