A LAST FAREWELL.
A pilgrim old before a ruin stands,
Clasping his staff with weary trembling hands;
He sees the weeds in tangled masses grow,
In the old garden paths he used to know.
He hears the birds sing liveliest refrains,
While flying swiftly through the shattered panes;
He sees the leaves go whirling sadly o'er
The threshold of the vacant. ruined door. \
The wandirer totters from the lonely place;
A tear drop glisteus on his wrinkled face.
Again he turns to look a last farewell,
And but one word he murmers “Isabel I“

THE MILL CHIMNEY.
’Twas when I was courting Katie that the
accident I’m going to tell you about hap-
pened. But for that same accident I don’t
think Katie an’ I would be man an’ wife this
day, for you see my father was set again’ the
match, Katie being only a laborer’s daughter,
while he himself was foreman in the mills,
getting good wages and thought a. deal of by
his employers. An’ if it wasn’t for Katie I
don’t think I’d be here now to tell you about
it, for ’twas she that saved my life, through
hitting on a plan that never once came into
the heads of me or of my comrades—aye, or
of those that you’d have thought would know
better than any of us.
I was not brought up to my father’s trade,
having been taken when young by a brother
of my mother’s, a master bricklayer living in
the town. When my uncle died I came home
to Lisgarvan for a bit, just to see my father,
and finding that they were at work on the
new buildings at the mills I looked for em-
ployment there, an’ got it at once. Lisgnrvan
mill is a flour mill, an’ a pretty place it was
in those days, with the river running just by
the old red brick buildings, and the big water
wheel always going round an" round. The
river falls into a larger one a little lower
down, an’ the tide comes up as far as the
mill, so ’tis in boats that most of the corn is
brought in an’ the flour carried away. ’Tisn’t
half so pretty 0. place now; there are big
whitewashed buildings along side of the old
brick ones. the big wheel is stopped, an’ you
hear the whirr of the engines instead of the
sound of the water. But they makes a power
of money there an’ gives a deal of employ-
ment.
As I was saying, I got taken on as a brick-
layer. Katie’s father was working there too,
an’ I used to see her bringing him his dinner,
and after a bit I began to think that I'd like
to have her bringing me mine too. She was
as pretty a girl then as you’d see any where-
she’s good looking to this day-an’ I soon be
came that fond of her that I’d have done
anything a’most to get her. She herself was
willing enough, ’twas my father that made
the difficulty. Heavas a proud man, as proud
in his way as any gentleman, an’ he was right
down mad at the notion of my marrying a
laborer’s daughter. To be sure I was earning
good wages, nn’ might have married without
asking any one’s leave if I’d been so minded,
but I didn’t like to go again’ the old man that
had always been good to me. Besides, Katie
was just as proud as himself, an’ would have
nothing to say to me nnlms he was satisfied.
I got the master to speak to him, but sure
’twasn’t a bit of use. “How would you like,
sir,” he says to the master, "if I had a daugh-
ter, to have Master Philip take up with her,
an’ wouldn’t that be the same thing?" I
believe that the master didn’t think it would
be all the same, but my father wouldn’t hear
reason from him any more than from me; so
Katie an’ I had just nothing for it but to
wait in the hope of his coming round; an’
very little hope we had of that same.
As we were putting up a steam engine in
the mill, we had of course to have a big
chimney, an’ we got a. man down from town
to build it—-one of them chaps that build
chimneys an’ nothing else, an’ thinks nobody
knows anything about it but theirselves. I
was working along with him, and indeed
’twas I that built the most of it, an’ a right
good job it was. ’Twas finished by Christ-
mas—ten years ago this Christmas coming
on—all but the lightning conductor, and that
was not put up owing to the master’s want-
ing to make inquiries when he‘d go to Lon-
don an’ to see for himself what would be the
best kind to use. The master was a scientific
sort of a gentleman, an’ had ideas of his own
—sometimes they’d be better than other peo-
ple’s, sometimes may be not so good. At any
rate there was a delay about the conductor,
an’ in the meantime the engines were at
work, an’ the big chimney was smoking away
like blazes. Mr. Brown, the strange' work-
man, had gone away, saying, very conde-
scending like, that he was sure Jim Fords
(that was me) would be able to fasten the rod
to the chimney as well as he could do it him~
self. He took all his scaffolding with him,
but before he went away be fixed a beam
with a pulley to it into the top of the chim-
ney. an’ left along rope hanging through it.
so that a man could be hoisted up at any
' time, an’ there the rope hung dangling. week
after week, until the master come home,
bringing the rod along with him.
Once it had come there was no good losing
any more time in fixing it, so one Saturday
afternoon in January, up I went on a plank,
slung securely at the end of the rope, my tools
along with me; an’ settled myself astride on
the stone coping. ’Twas rather late in the
day, but the morning had been too wet an’
stormy to work, an’ the master was as im—
patient to get the job doneas if it hadn’t been
himself that was hindering it all this time. I
was as much at home atop of the chimney as
l was on the ground, an’ I worked on without
once looking down, until my job was finished,
:u‘.’ I was putting up my tools. Then, all of a
sudden, I heard a. rattling noise, an’ looking
over, I see the plank going down very fast:
I called out, “Hullo there! send that up again.
will you!” but the only answer I got was a
loud laugh, for all the world like Silly Jerry
the naturals; and sure enough there he was,
standing by the Windlass, jumping an’ clapping
his hands. I looked about for the man whose
business it was to manage the tflndlass, but
not a sign of him was there, an’ in a minute I
heard the rattle of the pulley again, an’ saw
that the rope was running through it in the
wrong direction. I made a grab at it, but
’twas jerked out of my hand, an’ before I
- could catch it again the end had slipped
through, an’ there I was, more than a bun-
dred feet from the ground, not knowing how
in the world I was to get down, an’ Jerry
dancing an’ capering below, calling out,
“Come down and thrash me now, Mr. Forde,
won’t you?" Then I remembered that a few
days before, I had found this boy annoying
Katie, an’ had given him a cut with a switch
I had in my hand. He had slunk away with-
out a word at the time, but it seems he re-
mcmbered the blow, and took this way of
being revenged.
Well, at first I was scarcely frightened, cx—
pecting, somehow, that, once the people below
knew of the fix I was in they’d find some we.
or other of getting me out of it. But when
come to think of it, deuce a bit of away could
I hit on myself, an’ sure I knew more about
chimneys than any one in the place.
’I‘was getting late, too; there wouldn’t be
much more than another half hour of day-
light, an’ the wind was rising —-I could hear
it whistling through the trees;
By this time people knew what had hap-
pened, an’ a crowd was collecting. I could
see them coming from all parts, for of course
I had a view all about.
I saw a boy go up to the door of the count-
Ing house, an’ presently Master Philip came
out. running as if for his fife.
When he came he took the command like,
an’ began giving directions. An’ the people,
who had only stared at first, new ran here
an’ more as ic sent them. First they brought
out along ladder, an’ fixed it on the roof be,
low the chimney. I could have told them
that ’iwas too short. knowing as I did the
length cf every ladder in the place. But,
somehow, though I heard their shouts plain-
ly, I could not make them hcar mine; it
seemed as if the voices went up, like smoke.
Then there was a great delay, while they
went fora longer ladder; and this, too, didn’t
reach half way. A man climbed up it, how-
ever, an’ called out to know had I a bit of
string in my pocket that I could let down.
Not a bit could I find. I had had a big ball
only the day before. but I had taken it out of
my pocket an’ put it on a shelf at home. I
took off my braces, au’ fastened them an’ my
pocket handkerchief together; but they didn’t_
near reach the top of the ladder, so that plan
had to be given up.
All this time the wind was rising. an’ I
was getting numb with the cold, an’ stiff and
cramped from being so long in one position.
There was a big clock right over the gateway
just opposite, an’ I saw that it only wanted
twenty initiates of five; it would be nearly
dark at five an’ once the darkness set in, what
little hope I had would be gone.
M .er Philip seemed to have gone away by
this .me, but there was my father among the
crowd; an’ who should I see standing next
him, an’ holding on by his arm, but Katiel
They had forgotten everything but the fright
about me, 211’ he seemed to be talking to her,
an’ comforting her. Aftera bit I saw Master
Philip again; he had a big thing in his hand
looking like pocket handkerchiefs stretched
over a frame, an’ I saw that it was a kite, an’
that they meant to send a string to me in that
way. But you never in all your life saw such
an unmanageable kite. First ’twas too heavy
and then ’twas too light, and then the time
they seemed to lose making a tail to steady itl
I heard after that part of that same tail was
made of bank notes Master Philip took out of
his pocket when he could get nothing else
quick enough. He got them all back later,
for not a man, woman, or child in the place
would have touched one of them when they
saw him using them in that way. .
When the kite did go 3) at last the wind
was so high that they could not manage it
properly. It came very near me once, and I
made a snatch at the string, nearly over-
reaching myself in doing so, but I missed it,
un’ just then there came a terrible gust of
wind, the string broke an’ the kite was car-
ried away, an’ stuck fast in the branches of a
big tree behind the master’s house. I looked
over at the clock to see how much time was
left me, an’ I found that I could not see the
hands any longer; the darkness had e: no on
in the last few minutes. Then I gave up all
hope, for I knew I could never hold 913‘ tm
moi-mag. I'tHea‘ t6 think of death, an’ to
make myself ready for it, but I couldn‘t—not
a prayer nor a. good word could I call to
mind, only going over an’ over again in my
head the way ’t-would all happen—how the
people would all go away one by one, how I’d
be left alone in the darkness an’ the howling
wind-an’ how at last I’d not be able to hold
on any longer an’ fall, an’ be found in the
morning all crushed out of shape. The peo-
ple below seemed to have given up all thought
of helping me now, an’ were standing quite
quiet. ‘T was so dark by this time that I
could not distinguish the faces at all; I could
just make out Master Philip in his dark suit
among the white mill men and poor Katie.
She was crouching down on the ground now,
her apron over her head. All of a. sudden I
saw her leap up with a great cry, an’ clap
her hands, an’ call out something. Then
there was a confused sort of shout, as every-
one in the crowd was saying the same thing
at the same time, an’ then Master Philip,
making a sign to silence them, put his two
hands up to his month, an’ sang out in a
voice that came up to me above the noise of
the winds:
“Take off your stocking and rave] it; the
thread will reach the ground.”
At first I didn’t understand him, being
dazed like, but then the meaning came on me
like a- message from heaven. I got off one of
my socks with some trouble—nice new ones
they were, too, of Katie’s own knitting, that
she had given me for a Christmas box—an’
with the help of my teeth I loosened one end
of the thread. It gave readily enough after
that, an’ when I had a good piece of it ripped
I tied my knife to the end of it to make it
heavy, 011’ let it drop, ripping more an’ more
of the sock as it went down. Then I felt it
stop, an' presently there came a shout telling
me to wind it up again. Very slowly and
carefully I did it, fearing the string would
break, and when the last bit of it came up
there was a piece of strong twine tied, to the
end of it. The twine in its turn brought the
rope I had gone up by, an‘ then I felt that I
was safe. I managed somehow to put it
through the pulley. an’ to haul up the plank,
an’ as soon as they had fastened the other
end to the Windlass below they gave me the
word to come down. I was so numb an’ still?
that I could not fix myself on the plank, but
I managed somehow to cling to the ropes
with my hands. Down, down I came, every
turn of the Windlass making the voices be-
low scem nearer an’ nearer, and when I was
within a few feet of the ground there were a
dozen pair of arms ready to catch me, an’ a
score of hands held out to me, an’ a hundred
voices to welcome. An’ therewas my father
waiting for me, an’ Master Philip saying:
“But for the girl he’d have been up there
still. Not one of the rest of us would have
thou ht of the stocking; ’twas the brightest
idea. ’vo come across this many a day. She
has saved his life, Forde, and you can’t ro-
fuse your consent any longer.” But when I
looked round for Katie she was nowhere to
be seen. She must have slipped off as soon
as she saw I was safe.
Master Philip hurried my father an’ me
away, I didn’t quite know where, I was so
dazed, but in a minute or two 1 found myself
in a warm, lighted dining room at the mas-
ter’s house, an’ Master Philip pouring out a.
glass of brandy for me an’ shaking hands
with my father. I was glad to get the
brandy, for I was worn out with fright and
cold; but as soon as I could I made my escape
an’ went down to Katie’s cottage. I hadn’t
been there five minutes when there was a.
knock at the door, and in walks my father.
He went straight up to Katie, holding out his
hand.
“Katie, my girl,” he said, “I’vo come to
ask your pardon for anything I’ve ever said
or done against you, an’ if you an’ Jim are
still of the same mind, I won’t hinder you
from marrying. ’Tis you have the best right
to him, for you’ve saved his life. "
“And ’tis proud an’ glad I am that I was
able to do that same, Mr. Forde," said Katie.
“And you’ll marry him, won‘t you, my
dear?”
“If you‘re satisfied, sir.”
“I an), my dear, quite satisfied,” and with
that he kissed her; and from that day to this
he and Katie have been the best of friends.
He lives with us for the last year or so, for
he was getting a little past his work, and the
master pensioncd him off. He is very happy
with us, nn’ he is never tired of telling the
children the story of the way that their
mother’s cleverness saved my life—Atlanta

THE MANUFACTURE OF SHOT.
The Pellets Formed of an Alloy of
Arsenic and Lead—Process in Dotul].
“Lead shot,” said Mr. Tracy, “though some-
times mado of lead alone, is almost always
formed of an alloy of arsenic and lead. The
arsenic is introduced in the form of amenioxu:
acid or the sulphuret. The object of the
addition of the arsenic is to render the hard,
brittle qualities of the lead softer and more .
ductile, and of the proper consistence to take
the globular form. Owing to the rapid dc-
composition of the arsenic it is treated by it-
self iu the bottom of the melting kettle. A
cover is placed over the substance, and its
stem, which rises up through the kettle, is
fastened down. The lead is then added
above the cover, and when melted the cover
is lifted out of the liquid mass, which in-
stantly becomes permeated, with the arsenic
beneath. The alloy thus produced contains
forty-five pounds of arsenic to the ton of
lead, and is known as “temper.” This again
is added, in the proportion of l per cent., to
the pure lead, and thus the shot alloy, con-
taining a. very small percentage of arsenic, is
produced.
“The temper pots hold about a ton of metal
each. After the shot has reached the bot-
tom of the well it is at once lifted out by
an elevator and thrown upon an inclined dry-
ing table, over which they slide, falling finally
into awire gauze rotating cylinder. Then
t-cy are rolled and ground together, and in
this way the minute burrs upon them are re-
movcd. From the cylinder another elevator
lifts the shot upon a screening table. This
consists of a serious of planes arranged at
gradually decreasing heights. Between each
two there is an interval.
“The shot being started at the head of the
highest plane will, if perfect, roll {rem one
plane to another. jumping over the inter-
mediate spaces. If imperfect, however, it
tumbles and goes back to the melting kettle.
The good shot, after passing this ordeal,
reaches the separators. It should be ex-
plained that there are usually several tables,
each being devoted to a different size of shot.
The little leaden globes are next elevated to
the top cylinder of a series, arranged on an
incline. They are conical in form and cov-
cred with perforated sheet brass. Each cyl-
inder serves as a sieve for a particular size of
shot, retaining that and allowing all smaller
sizes to escape. The shifting goes on until
each cylinder has picked out the particular
class of shot to which it is adapted. The sizes
of shot are standard. The smallest is known
as ‘dust,’ and then comes ‘No. 12,’ which is
.05 inch in diameter, 2,330 shot going to the
ounce—New York Mail and Express
DAYS OF THE WEEK.
The Physlognomy_ of Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday.
Tuesday has only this hold on our recog-
nition, that it is not so far from Sunday but
there is a distinct, if diminished, flavor of its
being still “along the first of the week.”
Things promised for this conveniently vague
period can still be creditably performed. But
to-morrow, we feel, will be already the mid~
dle of the week. There is, accordingly, a
slight “hurry up” tinge about Tuesday.
Wednesday is still worse ofi‘ for identity of
countenance. Its face is chiefly to be known
by its not being that of any other day in the
week, as some persons are known only by
their not being anybody else. The middle of
its forenoon is the time, when we ask some
one, “What day is this?” It has occurred to
me that their might be, in quiet families,
some special bit of foodasamnemonic for
Wednesday. If the fish was sacred to the
Teutonic Venus, and so came into Friga’s
day, is there not some flesh or fowl that
might be considered to belong to IVodenl
Do we not know, indeed, of 0. wholesome
vegetable. a. little under a. cloud, perhaps,
whose subdued fragrance in the house might
stir the fountains of memory and of tears, and
mark the day? Yet if we search cautiously
in our mental impression of Wednesday, we
may find a kind of leisurely and humdrum
look that is all its own. The hour of the first-
of-thc—week dash into great enterprises is gone.
We are in the midst of everything. with
time enough before us to prevent hurry, but
not enough to invite any vigor of attack.
This early middle-of-the-wcck—ncss it is
which vaguely marks Wednesday to the
mind.
Thursday, however, begins to have a dim
penumbra of a sense of end-of-the-week
about it. It has to a greater degree the
hurry-up suggestivencss of Tuesday, but with
this marked difference: On Tuesday it was
the haste of hope; now it is the haste of fear.
It is the day of feeling oppressed with the lot
of things that were to have been done (on
Wednesday we should have said “to be done;”
now we use the regretful or remorseful “to
have becnl”) done this week—“and here we
are," we say, “past the middle of it." Thurs-
day is therefore the working day par ex-
cellcucc. If a man ever does any stroke of
solid work—if he is not constitutionally 0p-
posed to “working between m ” at all-he
is likely to do it now.—Atlantic.

WOMAN AND HOME.
CORNSTALKS FOR INTERIOR oede-
RATIONS.
Pug Dogs vs. Little Children—Economy
and Self Denial—Life In the Country.
Happiness Without Wealth—Hygienic
HIuts—l’aragraphs—Notes.
In log cabin farm houses, and even in still
humbler homes, it is possible to introduce
aesthetic effects bya free use of cornstalks
for interior decorations. No one can have
failed to notice the rich golden color and
satin sheen of cornstalks in the late autumn
season, Their lightnem of weight fits them
admirably for the purpose we have just Indi-
cated, while in the mere matter of exterior
finish they are scarcely inferior to bamboo
cane.
Let us illustrate by taking the simplest log
cabin, with unplastered walls and bare raft-
ers, upon which the floor of the second story
—perhaps a mere loft—rests, thus answering
the double purpose of flooring and ceiling.
In order to conceal the unsightly chinklng of
mud or plaster which fills the interstices be-
tween the logs, a dado is the first devrco, or
rail er wainscotin .
The stalks are gselected of uniform thick-
ness, and are then cut into such lengths as
may be desired for the height of the twins-
coting. The cutting must be done with great
accuracy; it is best to cut each stalk by lay-
ing it against a pine stick selected as a gauge.
Another set of stalks is now to be cut, and
these form the ceiling decoration. The width
between the rafters furnishes the model for
the length of these stalks, for we are now
speaking of the most primitive form of log
cabin—one which has not even a plastered
ceiling.
If paper is not too expensive for the upper
wall surface, the cheapest quality of muslin
can first be tacked around the four sides of
the room above the intended wainscoting. and
a low priced wall paper of desirable tint ap-
plied; or coarse muslin of some pretty shade
may furnish the covering without the ad-
dition of paper. The cheapest quality of
crimson cheese cloth makes a handsome back-
ground In contrast with the yellow corn.
stalks.
For the walnscotlng thwo are applied
simply by means of long brads driven through
the stalks immediately into the logs around
the four walls The upper ledge will ofcourse
be perfectly smooth and even if the sticks
have been carefully cut. As a finish for the
top, cornstalks are to be laid along this ledge
transversely, and also secured by long brads.
This finishes the wainscoting, unless one
wishes to add to the security of the part next
the floor by a thin strip of pine wood.
Since it costs nothing except a few hours'
labor, one may well try the experiment, if
only for the sake of the beautiful athetic ef-
fect. If preferred, a narrow shelf may run
around the room at the head of the vain:-
coting, particularly if it be sufilciently high
not to Interfere with the furniture. On such
a shelf bits of bric-a-brae may be arranged, to
great advantage The polished surface of
the stalks easily prevents the accumulation of
dust.
The sticks for the ceiling are laid between
the rafters, and secured ”to the planks by
brads, making a solid surface, and repeating
the effect of the wainscoting, except for the
division formed by the rafters.
A hostess who deplored the poverty of a
primitive country home in a chinked log-
house, which it was impossible to keep tidy,
with the dust perpetually sifting from the
walls, was glad to avail herself of this means
of beautifying her home, which a guest vnth
ready ingenuity had suggested. The pan-
eled ceiling was also a great been, since it
deadened the sound in the story above the
living room. The ease with which these corn
stalks can be manipulated makes them do-
sirable for simple summer cottages at water-
ing places. But we have not yet exhausted
their decorative utility.
Cut into short lengths—say of about twelve
inches—they make a beautiful covering for
the outside of jardinieres or window boxes
-for plants. On festive occasions, when a
mantel decoration is desirable, have a slight
wooden or stout pasteboard box made to fit
the shelf, or place several boxes in a row on
the shelf, and secure an upright row of stalks
to their outer surface, leaving them either of
uniform height, or sloping them gently from
the middle to each end of the mantel. Fill
the boxes with sand slightly moistened, and
arrange flowers to suit the taste. Such an
improvised mantel jardiniere filled with
masses of one kind of flowers is unique inits
beauty. .
Where there are sufilciently broad window
sills a pasteboard box may be selected of such
a size as will easily fill the space. Cover both
sides—front and back—with short stalks, fill
with moist sand, and they will serve as re-
ceptacles for any sort of flowers, repeating
the effect of the mantelpiece. If there are
low bookcases 'in the room, utilize the same
suggestion in their decoration, in this case
choosing narrow boxes, placing them along
the edges, and decorating the front surface
only of the boxes On a. certain festive occao
sion the flower boxes for mantel shelf, win-
dow sills and low bookcases, running around
a, handsome room, were covered with corn-
stalks and filled with crowded masses of large
field daisies. Whether in the glow of sunlight '
or the glimmer of gaslight, the result was so
exquisite that it excited the admiring com-
ments of every guest who saw it.
The simplest pine stick needed as a support
for a screen is at once made to assume an
appearance of great elegance by grouping
around it several cornstalks in a cluster, and
securing them firmly to the central support
by a ribbon or wire. This is a valuable sug-
gestion for fancy fairs, where there are
numerous devices needed for concealing the
rough framework of the tables
It need scarcely be said that at harvest fes-
tivals nothing is more beautiful in the dis-
play of autumn fruits and flowers than erect
cornstalks grouped in a. mass, each bearing
its burden of golden fruitage. For a decorq-
tive fringe on such occasions ears of ripened
corn, with the husks turned back, my be
. used with a charming effect—Harper’s Bazar.
Pug Dogs vs. Little Children.
There is, however, another variety of this
tender heartedness and sympathy, which
often seems more a maudlin sentiment that 0'
wholesome or natural one, and is most (ref
qucntly to be seen expended on the dumb
brute creation; indeed, the expenders of It
act as if almost unaware of the existence of
any other creation, reserve all their forces,‘in~
the way of kindness, for the lower order of
animals, and ignore humanity in an astonish-
ing manner. They carry the pug dog in their
arms with caresses and tendernm, of which
the little creature understands only the tone,
if so much as that, and they brush past the
ragged beggar child with sufficient force to
knock the puny wretch aside, and scowl
at the little street sweeper as if he sinned In
being alive; and meanwhile the price of the
silver or jeweled collar and the embroidered
blanket of the pet would clothe some tattered
child for a year.
The value of the velvet cushion on which
many a pass belonging to those parties takes
her siesta would buy a rocking chair for I
child that never had one: but it would hardl'
give as much pleasure to the owner of the
puss to see the child luxuriating in its rock-
ing chair as to see the cat upon its cushion;
and it never occurs to such a person to think
that the money paid for the gilded saucer out
of which many another pet, poll parrot,
marmosct, or what not, feeds would heap
with healthy food a pewter platter for many
a. day for the child who never saw a gilded
saucer and never is likely to do so. Not that
we question the right of those who are able
to afford it to keep pets, if they wish, to any
extent, and to treat them properly.
But, for all that, it would seem as though,
when human beings in distress as to both
body and soul are to be found all about one,
one’s first energies and one’s superfluous
funds should be devoted to these human be-
ings; and if the pet must have a gilded sau-
cer then that gilded saucer must be counter-
balanced by the food heaped on the pewter
platter before mentioned. One may have
the civil right. and possibly the moral right,
to own a brute worth $10,000 at a bench
show, yet unless one has within one‘s ken no
instances where the sum of 610.000 means the
diflerence between safety and destruction it
can hardly be with a clear conscience that
one locks up so much money in the handsome
and useless skin of the beast—Harper’s
Baznr.
Economy and Self Denial.
We must begin early, no matter how dim-
cult the task, to teach that it is a virtue to
practice economy and deny self. A wealthy
lady said this afternoon: “It is hard to teach
my children' economy and _self denial when
they know and I know it is not a necessity.
but I do it for their sakes. _
I have until lately been fortunate in keep-
ing the associates of my children confined to
the families where the parents think the in-
tellectual life is of much more consequence
than the fashionable or social. This fall they
have been thrown with children who have a
constant supply of spending money and
whose conversation is about their new
clothes, the number of servants kept at home
and other, to them. equally important con-
come of life. My children began to be rest—
less. Today they wanted a new toy, to-
morrow a ring; this day a drum and theta
pair of bracelets. N 0 mother likes to see her
children unhappy, and mine, for the first
time, were wretched over the denial “of their
parents of, to them, a seeming good..,jI never , x

It is stated that Italy has declared its sev- i
children in town. What was I to do? Here
was a first lesson to be given, and it must be
firmly leed in the mind. I helped them to
enumerate their blessings from the four large
trees, from which swung the hammocks, to
their oldest and dearest doll inher can-lags
or cradle. I showed them their books and
their. treasures. I told them about their
. friends and then talked about the unhappi-
'7 aces they had of late slio'w'n because they
! could not have everything they .vr. .
' I told them that there ware people who re~
maimed like little children in Wanting every-
thing-omeonesln had, or whattheynaw in
shop window. There were somswomenwho
liked me clothes and jewelry and fashion,
and thought and talked about such things.
There was another clam of people who do-
voted their thought: to what others did, said
and had. Still another class who loved trees
and fioworsmlctursl and books, home and
friends and beautiful thoughts, whose minds
were so filled" “with these things that they
were happy in them. My husband, who
heard my lecture to my offspring, declared
that it was worth at least 850. But whatever

Too may of our farmer‘nhomenmmerely
no In name? They are not hornets—only
places to stay. Do not think we are insinua-
ting that you-must rush right of! and spend
$1,000 in buying new furniture. carpets and
an organ. Not at all. One of the “homey-
est",places we ever saw was one that was en-
tirely innocent of any extravagance In that
line. Three hundred dollars would have
covered the cost of all the furniture in the
house; but It was a place we. alwayl enjoyed

But the main secret of their happines, If It

Man's Work and Woman’s Toll.
Gail Hamilton has a serious word to say of
her sex that all should read: “Their spiritual
superiority is signified chiefiy in this, that the
women work for love,tho men for- money."
Thus she sums the matter up: f‘Tho spiritual
advance made by man is seen chiefly in this,
that so much of tho moneyhe earns goes to the
ministry of refinement, education, embellish-
ment, to the wife and children whom he loves.
But the woman sees no money for her toil.
Her sufilcient, her ample reward is in a hus-
band, content, happiness, growing in grace,
In children, bounding to gracious maturity.
The unmarried woman works for necessity,
for love of her dependent ones, for love of
some beautiful or beneficent profession, for
sweet mercy and charity to the ignorant, for
horror of dependence upon those upon whom
she has no claim-seldom for business, ambi-
tion or material accumulation.
“The ivoman who makes a real failure, a
failure in her own business, is the unloved
woman, the grasping, the selfish, tho repres-
sive, tho unsympathizing, the censorious, the
untruthful, the woman who is a center of dis-
comfort; a source of anxiety, an object of
avoidance, instead of being that gentle, con-
draws unto inc]! all human want and woe
and bliss and aspiration.”
Happiness Without Wealth.
I have known the most influential men in
communities, and they were the men who
were without money. Not the richest men
are the most influential men to-dayin New
York or in the United States. A man may
be happy and yet not be rich. I think that
as the world goes there is more happiness
without wealth than with it. Ido not be-
lieve there is ever a time which a rich man
looks back to with more satisfaction than to
the periods of struggle through which he has
I do not believe any man was ever
happier than when, having married early
(and early marriages are usually virtuous
marriages) and married for love, he and his
companion went down into life together, and
every day was a day of engineering to fit
their means to their necessities, in their single,
slendcrly furnished room, where they, con-
ferred together how to put scrap with scrap
and eke out pittance with pittance, and
everything was calculated by pennies.
How ofteminlater life, when people no-
come rich, do the husband and wife look at
each other and say, “After all, my dear, we
shall neverbe happier than when we first
started out together." Thank God a man
does not need to be very ‘rich to be very
happy, only so that he has a treasure in him-
self. A loving heart, a genuine sympathy, a
pure, unadulterated taste,a life thatls not
scorched by dissipation orwastcd by untimely
hours, a good, sound body and a clear con-
science—these things oughtto makes man
l'isppyi.—Henry Ward Beecher in New York

Touching Nerve Centers.
Give me an up—and-down whipping and I
will take it like a hero, but tickle the soles of
my feet and I die. on, if married folks, and
brothers and sisters and loving friends would
only take heed of this, and lay it up as a New
Year’s maxim! If you are bound to quarrel,
quarrel with sizable switches; don't use pin
points. Let your cause for grievance take
good round words for weapons,not innuendocs
nary with sarcasm is like touching tender
spots with your finger tips and pretending to
beamazed that it hurts. I despise tortuous
methods. If you want to' kill a chicken, chop
of! its head quick; don’t pick out its feathers
one by one until it dies from the torture. If
you are determined to ruin the happiness of
your family and murder its peace, do it
quickly by open deeds of wickedness, but
don’t sit day by day picking out feathers and
touching nerve centers—“Amber" in Chicago
Journal.
How to Take Foot Baths.
The best time to take a foot bath is not at
night, but in the middle of the forenoon,
when the vitality is at its highest point.
After immersing the feet foratime inhot
'watcr lift them out of the bath and dash a
dipper or two of cold water over them, and
rub briskly till dry. By this sudden applica-
tion of cold water you have closed the pom
andleft the skin in a. tonic condition; you
have also sent the blood from the surface
with such force that it must of pecenity, in
following the law of reaction, return with
force, thus tending to make the- feet ulti-
mately warmer. When thoroughly dry draw
on a pair of clean, well warmed hose, put on
your boots, and you are ready for a walk or
ride without fear of taking cold.
Rubbing the feet with a little sweet oil be-
fore putting on the stockings Is a still further
preventive of cold—Detroit Free Pres.
Resolved on Cellhracy.
The servants in a certain house struck the
other day and left in a body. A selfish won-
der on the part of the master that everything
was not an orderly under'tho management of
his wife as when shalt-d three servants, kept
him In a state of mental turmoil and con-
stant aossnem At thaend of the week, the
son of the house, a bore! a dozen years, an.
nouncod graVely that he never intended to
marry. It was at the breakfast table, and
breakfast was a quarter of an hour late. “I
should think not," growled his father, “you’ll
have some comfort in life if you don’t.”
“That’s not it,” said the youthful disciple of
progression, “I am afraid it I should get mar-
ried I would scold my wife when she didn't
deserve it, so I guess I’ll be an old bachelor,
and then I can't."—Boston Record.
Temperature of the Play Boom.
It is almost needles to say that children
should not be allowed to make the kitchen

excluded from It while the meals are being
prepared or other work is being done by the
mother which requires her to keep a“hot
fire.” Of all the rooms in the house, the. one
allotted to the children shouldbo the bright-
est and the sunniost, and the temperature
should never be'allowed to go above seventy
degrees, and If kept at sixty-eight degree: it
will be still better for them. Free ventila-
tion is,iof course, to he insisted upon, and in

_ A Talk About Veils.
The veils worn by most women during this
cold weather are far from being ornamental,
and really do not protect the face more than
if put on in a sensible manner. When the
thermometer reaches the freezing point the
breath of the nostrils and mouth {reeves on
the veil, and often chaps the chin, lips and
perhaps the tip of the none. The veil should
just come over the tip of the nose. andln this
way there is room to breathe without Injury
to either the skin or‘ veil. To avoid having
the face chapped one should be careful not
to wash it in warm water just before going
out into the cold air. It is the sudden change
in temperature that is harmful, not the col
air. ——New York Morning Journal. .
