An acquaintance of mine who had removed

was asked what was the social difference. He

her one who did it in New York, and when
her father, a clergyman, was congratulated
on the good sense of his daughter, he replied,
“In our family we believe in, the natural
affections.” ,
It would, of course, be very unfair to deny
an ample supply of natural affections to
those who habitually send out their young
children with a nurse; there are many pre-
occupations, many inconveniences, that may
be in the way. The thing of which one may
justly complain is the tradition prevailing
among the well to do circles of many cities,
east and west, north and south, that the
mother is never to take out her child. This
seems to meja wrong both to parent and
child, as much a wrong as the habit still
lingering in France of sending a young child
to dwell with a nurse, the mother only visit-
ing her occasionally;or the habit formerly
prevailing in the English upper classes,
which forbade a mother’s’suckling her owu
child-—a habit so fixed that when Georgiana,
Duchess of Devonshire, broke through it,
the poet Coleridge wrote her a resounding
ode, as if she had done some great deed:
O lady, nursed in pomp and pleasure,
Who taught you that heroic measure?
In the present case the “heroic" young
mother who wheels her own baby wagon
gains the felicity of the fresh air, to begin
with; she shares the happy little ccoings and
pointings of her young charge; she is asso-
ciated with its first contact with the world
outside; she will never forget these sweet and
simple associations, and she will always be a
part of them to her child. She has, beyond
this, the inestimable satisfaction of knowing
that her child 'is cared for; that it is not
wheeled against the broad sunlight till its
eyes water, or pushed backward till its
brain whirls; that it is not left to cry un-
becded while the nurse 3031118 with her fifth

I read the other day in awoman’s essay,
which had many good points in it, two as-
sertions which seemed to me very wide of
the mark. The firstwas that thereisnow
hardly such a thing in America as a fresh,
simple, unspoiled child; to which statement
I should oppose the objection that there are
at least a dozen of these rare beings in the
one short street where I happen to dwell.
The second point was that we should find a
remedy for this alleged evil :in introducing
the English system of keeping children as
much as possible in nurseries, and having
them as little as possible in contact with the
family life. Had this statement been turned
just the other way it would have seemed
more reasonable, for surely it is where there
are most nurses and nurseries—in America
at least-that one finds the artificial and self
conscious children, while the simplest and
most genuine are in those households where
servants are few or none. .This whole philos-
ophy seems to me far less sensible than that
of a little boy of my acquaintance, who once
made a protest against the whole race of
nurses in them plain terms: “Mamma, I do
wish I could be taken care of by somebody
that lives in the front part of the house.”
those kindly and child loving races who sup-
ply ninetenths of our nurses—the Celts, the
negroes-and 'one sometimes finds among
them individuals of a quality so superior
that they are Wholesome and innocent com-
panions for any child, and even ignorance
forms no bar to a life long and genuine
friendship. But what risks are run to tem-
per, to health, even to morals, in the effort
to find this paragon! How many poor little
things owe horrible, frightful terrors and
nightmare superstitions and manifold last-
ing injury to being intrusted almost 1m-
wutched to persons to whom no one would
intrust the training of a pet animal! One.
may see households where a man servant
who should kick a favorite dog, or even
speak angrily to a. high bred horse, would be
dismissed instantly, and yet where delicate
and sensitive children may be scolded and
twitched about and even chastised by nurses
of no higher training and principle.
I know a family whose sweet faced nurse
was the admiration and envy of all who
came to the house; it was nevertheless not .
intended for an instant that the power of i
punishing should be placed in her hands; nor
was it discovered until .weeks after she had
left the family that she had been in the habit
of taking her little charge privately into the
pantry and putting mustard on her tongue
by way of punishment for such sins as can
be committed at 3 years old. The inhumani-
tics of parents, on which a brilliant Ameri-
can womun once wrote an essay, may be bad
enough, but it has always seemed to me that
the worst inhumanity, in the long run, was
to leave a child to the unwatched control .of
a hired attendant. I say “unwatchcd,” but,
after all, how can any watching be more
than superficial?—T. W. Higginson in Har-

The Tired Ont Housenlotller.
And when you go home at night and find
her jaded and worn, think of some way in
which to help her, instead of finding fault
with your surroundings and hurling harsh
words at her, if you do not sometimes break
the third commandment in your zeal to be
emphatic. She is just as tired as you are and
has worked as many hours at home, battling
with the children and the servants, or, when
there are none of the latter, battling with the
monotonous housework, doing the same things
today which she did yesterday and knows she
will have to do to-morrow, until it is not
strange that she becomes disheartened and
thinks her life is “one eternal grind,” like
poor Mani ilini, who, however, used astronger
udjectivc than 1 have done. ‘7

n-arcoly a thought beyond the kitchen and

little dream how hungry she gets for some
sign that love is not dead, although it may
beso crustedwith thoughtlessness and self
that it is seldom seen. Kind words cost
nothing, and if they were more frequent love
and happiness would linger longer by the
hearthstone, where now there are bitter re-
pinings for the past, and hard, resentful feel-
ings as the wife bears her burden alone, un~
cheered, unhelped and, as she believes, un-
cared for by her husband—Mary J. Holmes,

Diet of Cake and Pickles.
“My Jennie has such a dainty appetite I
don’t know what to do with her! She just
won‘t eat anything but sweetmeats and the
like!"
Thus exclaimed a foolish mother in my
hearing the other day. Yes, lamentably
foolish is she for allowing such a condition
of things to exist. We are told by the
matchlcss bard that desire grows upon what
it is fed. The child desires dainties, and the
mother oft gratifies that desire. Soon the
mischief is done, for the dainty appetite is
quickly formed. Apropos of this: A ruddy
German girl of seven summers was adopted
by childless people of means. The indulging
process was early begun by them, for it was _
a pleasure to give the child all the goodies
that she could well eat. Ere long a scorn for
substantial food possessed her, and the mere
thought of the plain but healthful fare of her
German home excited great disgust. Dain-
ties formed her, daily living, but think you
that her robust German parentage preserved
her from paying outraged Mother Nature’s
penalty? No, indeed: She fella victim to
consumption while yet in her teens. The
poor, abused digestive apparatus could not
manufacture good blood: the great waste
was not supplied, and “galloping consump- .
tion” claimed another victim.
While on the cars, on route to one of Min-
nesota’s beautiful lake resorts, I was attracted
by an anxious mother and her unfortunate
invalid daughter who occupied seats near
mine.
The wan checks, the hollow eyes and the
languid air all told their own sad story of
disease and death. The weary one oft had
access to the stimulating flask to sustain her
to the journey’s end. At length the mother
and child partook of a morning meal. A
large lunch hamper indicated a. long journey. '
I did not observe the mother’s choice of fare, '
.but the delicate girl who had so aroused my
sympathies made a benrtyfl) meal of rich
mike and pickles. Yes, she devoured three
whole pickles and a piece .of cake. Think of
it, mothers—of supplying theenormons waste
that was apparehtly going on with onlycake
.and pickles! Could one drop of good blood
emanate therefrom? Would disease have
:attacked the poor chi Id had the mother pre~
.venfed such unnatural .nppetite? She seemed
a woman at culture and lionnemcnt—not al-
ways accompanied with common sense, it
seemdl would Lain remind her that she
couldtakeher loved one to the most health-
ful clinic :of earth, but she would not keep
her longif her diet consisted of cake and
pickles. Indeed, in this instance I fear that
nothing could avail, for the blood—which
you know, is the life—had already become
impoverished.
See to it, mothers, that your children are
not forming pernicious habits of eating what
will perchance take them to early graves or
render them dyspeptics for lifc.—Ladics’

Hurtful Speech In Sick Rooms.
The horribly brutal speeches to invalids
that are made by visitors apparently friendly
and apparently sane, are inexcusable. Some
of them, are so horrible that one must laugh
at the very remembrance of them.
To a dearvold gentleman who had been
confinedto the house for some time, came
the cheerful inquiry: “Does the grave look
pleasant to you, Mr. ———1” ‘
A ' lady sorely and dangerously afllicted
with dropsy, unable to breathe except in a
sitting. position,.w01n out by sleeplessuess
and suffering, was thus. comforted by a
sympathetic neighbor after viewing her with
eager curiosity: “Well, Mrs. .———, you do
look awfully! I do hope you will die before
‘ you burst I”
To a nervous old man, depressed by a long
struggle with disease, and feeble, yet ver '
anxiousto recover, came this cheering ob-
servation: “Dear me, how you have failed
lately! IVhy, you’re as white as a sheet!
Your blood is all turning to water! You
can’t last long?” ,
By the bedside of a sensitive woman at-
tacked with pneumonia, I heard a most be-
nevolent and truly Christian women say in
clear tones, “There is no hope. Isee the
death mark on her face.”
You will find, if ill for several weeks, that
some of your best friend will study your ap-
pearance and report with startling frank-
ness: “Why, my dear, how lyou have
changed! I really don’t believe I should have
known you. You are paler or more natur-
ally flushed, as the case may be, since I was
here last; and, yes, you have perceptibly lost
flesh. But you_must get .well. \Ve all love
you too lunch; we can’t get on without you.”
This is said with the kindest meaning, but to
the “puir sick body” it means faintness or in-
creased fever, or a cry after the visitor has
departed. W'hatever may be your disease,
the conversation, instead of turning upon
the ,cheerful and engrossing topics of the
time, is too apt to lie-fastened to your own
condition, and instances are given of Mr. So-
und-Sb, who died of the same, or Miss This-
or-That, who at last recovered, but has never
been herald self since. “'0 all know how
the imagination acts upon the body, even
producing death in a perfectly healthy
person. Then how careful we should be in a
sick room—Chicago Journal.
Material for Kitchen Aprons.
After trying many different materials for
kitchen aprons I have decided that shirting
gingham is the best. Being about three-
quarters of a yard Wide, one breadth answers
very well, thus the time which would be
spent in cutting breadths and sewing seems
is saved. A small plaid of brown and white,
with narrow lines of red to brighten it,
makes a pretty apron, which, if washed and
dried carefully, will look well a long time,
and there is no doubt about its wearing well.
I dislike blue in an apron for two reasons,
namely: It is apt in, washing to stain the
rubber of the washing machine and wringer,
and a disagreeable odor arises when it is
ironed. If one wishes bibs to her aprons,
less of the gingham will be left after cutting,
if enough for' two, four or any other even
number of garments be purchased in one
piece.
To ascertain the quantity required, measure
the length necessary for skirt, allowing for
hem and a little for shrinkage; then measure
the distance from shoulder to belt. This
length of material will make two bibs, unless
the wearer is uncommonly broad shouldered,
which must be taken into account in calcu-
lating the whole quantity; then allow two
inches for each belt, as one strip across is
about the right length. Any one‘aftel' a lit»
tle practice can cut the bib to suit her taste.
Ticking is a good material for an apron to be
worn when washing—Good Housekeeping.
Exercise for Growing Girls.
However just much of the criticism upon
the management of children at the present
This criticism involves no injustice to i ume may oe,ltis certainly true that in one
respect at least modern mothers are wiser
than were their mothers and grandmothers
before them. It is only in a few homes thax
girls are now required to “sit still and be
little ladies.” Why should a healthy, grow:
ing girl be expected to sit still any more than
her romping brother, about whom no concern
is manifested, provided he remains in the
house only long enough to eat and sleep?
What matter is it if outdoor sports are hard
upon cheeses and boots? It takes less time
and anxiety to mend torn clothes than to
watch by beds of sickness and it costs less to
pay the shoemaker than the doctor.
The daughters of the present generation
are to be the mothers of the next, and they
need outdoor exercise and indoor sports to
make them healthy in body, gentle in dis-
position and free from all those nervous
affections that are the bane of every woman
whose days of girlhood were passed in ionic
ing patchwork and doing the thousand and
one other foolish things commonly denom-
inated “girl’s work. ”—Nashna Telegraph.
A Difference In Dress.
At a dinner and reception a young married
belle was in the sulks. She had fiounced lie)“-
self into a chair, and turned her back on her
husband, who was angrily red clear over the
bald top of his head.
“I’m sure I’ve got as fine a dress as any-
body here,” she was heard to poutingly say.
“But you look as wooden as a Dutch doll,”
he blurted out.
His criticism was sound if not amiable.
The young woman wore much fluffiness of
white skirt, her bodice suggested sheet iron,
to stiff were its outlines and so unyielding its
aspect. It was a new thing called the armor
waist. It had no sleeves, and over the shoul~
ders were merely ribbons, tied as though to
hold up the bodice. No woman could be
graceful in it.
Near by set a willowy girl. Her gown was
fashioned of thin cloth, which took its folds
from each movement of the wearer, like the
garments of the ancient Greeks. The fabric
in each fold perfectly adapted itself to the
figure, the draperies having actually molded
themselves to the form of the wearer. An
enwrapping of the slender waist with a wide,
soft sash, added to the charming effect of
pliability. A demure air was worn with this
gown—New York Sun. ‘
The Teacher’s Responsibilities.
Is it not the mother's business to know the
skill of her child’s teacher as well at least
as that of the physician who prescribes for
his sore throat or the tailor who measures
him for his first pants! It is only in desper-
ate cases that we can bring ourselves to pull
the door bell of a strange doctor and suln-‘
mon him to our house. As a rule, he must
be known and accredited, even tested, before
he receives our confidence. Yet an ignorant
or vicious teacher may work immeasurably
more harm than any doctor, if we admit
that the soul is worth more than the body.
We have divine instruction to the effect that
we need not fear those who have no power
to kill the soul, An unscrupulous teacher
has the power to deform—perhaps to destroy
—both soul and body—Caroline B. Le Row
in \Voman.
Cheap Living.
“As I told you, the secret of cheap living
is in having ‘no margin for waste.’ Now, in
my system that is the corner stone. In the
first place, every economical housekeeper
should learn how to compose her dinners. If
one day you have an expensive meat dish,
the next day you have a cheap one combined
with farinaceons food, such as macaroni or
beans, so that both dinners will be equally
nourishing and the one balance the other.—
New York Evening Sun.
Dressing Well.
Since diming well stands for duty nothing
excuses a self respecting person in any walk
in life' for offending by careless or slovenly
attire; and the employer who allows his
help to offend or the mistress who permits
her servant to go about in soiled garments or
unkempt hair, is himself or herself guilty of
offense against others’ rights and privileges,
for their prerogatives give them the right to
expect and demand clean and orderly habits
of dress.—~Annie Jenness Miller.

before putting into it the vegetables to be

The Biggest Run on Record.
Monday found me mounted, and little
did I dream on that cold November
morning that I would make the biggest
run ever made after buffalo, and have
that bloody morning’s work recorded in
the history of the Wild \Vest, and live
long after the last bone of the perse-
cuted bison had been gathered from the
plains. A big herd was feeding near
the Frenchman, and about two miles up
stream. I had two men run up stream
and run them down as fast as possible,
and I would head the herd about four _
miles back on the plain. I let the
leaders pass me, then with my fresh
horse I run among them and began
shooting :13 I had never done before.
The herd ran in between the canyons and
closed in all around me before I realized
my dangerous position. I was firmly
wedged in this wild stampede and was
pressed forward, my only chance of cs-
cape being to keep up with the proces-
sion. ' Should my horse give out, should
he stumble over a. fallen buffalo, should
the slightest accident happen whatever,
I was a dead man. It was not a
pleasant posit-1011 to be in. 'I stopped
shooting. How could I possibly escape
was the question that resolved itself
about in my brain. Looking for for-
ward I saw the open plain.
Ihvolunt-arily I shouted with joy, and
then with a desire for slaughter I banged
away more earnestly than ever. The
speed of the buffaloes begun slowly tc
diminish, and when they got on the open
plain they separated and gave me plenty
of room. The poor brutes were actually
rundown, and when I stopped my horse
they stood and looked at me with their
tongues hanging out. They had run
fourteen miles and would easily have run
my horse down had he started with them.
But having four miles the start, and being
fresh, be pulled through. I counted my
cartridges, and finding that I had only six
left I started back, as I was liable to meet
Indians. On my way back I counted 113
that I had slain one. single run and with-
out stopping my horse. If my cartridges
had not given out I could have killed at
least 500. That was the only time I ever
saw buffalo run to n standstill—Dr. W.
F. Carver in San Francisco Examiner.
A Society Woman’s Wonderful Cage.
One of the stories which has been cur-
rent in social circles lately is in regard to
the remarkable makeup of a well known
young society woman. The mold in
which she had been cast by an unkind
fate was unsatisfactory alike to herself
and parents, who finally concluded to try
the effects of foreign travel for her, After
a long absence abroad the family re-
turned. and to the astonishment of all
who had previously known her, the
daughter was completely metamorphosed.
From a tall, angular girl she had become
not only well rounded, but buxom, with a
noticeable broadening of the shoulders.
After a while it leaked out that while in
Paris the girl had been taken to a model
maker, who, in consideration of a large
sum. agreed to construct a wire figure of
the desired proportions, which was ingeni-
ously made to open down the back, and
was of such fine, soft material that its
presence would fail to be detected save by
the closest scrutiny. This wire cage ue-
cessitutcs, with evening dress, a band of
velvet or collar of some description, and,
as long as worn, effectually precludes the
idea of dccollcte gowns on the part of the
wearer, —-\Vnsbingten Letter.
A Moat Feast in Abyssinian,
The latest news coming from Abyssinia
speaks of a meat feast which has unnerved
no little the spirit of the Italian troops out
there. To celebrate some minor victory
the chiefs decided to have a royal banquet.
A live bull was brought in, and securely
tied standing on a long table, surrounded
by bcnchcs upon which were seated the
men and women, two of the latter to one
of thc sterner sex. The skin of the bull
was cut and torn down, disclosing the
ribs and haunches,eso that all the meat
could be cut off without touching the
bone, and each mule guest received his
full share which he had to eat, but with-
out drinking, according to etiquette. At
the end of the repnst, when the women
also had been fed, both joined in the wine
feast, and the wildest dances and festivi-
ties ensued. These bauquets are given
frequently before battle, so that the men’
are demons instead of half human beings.

The space allotted to the “bowlers” was
also well filled, yet a good many, both of
young and old, were still coming, and after
going forward to where the high priest sat,
they rcvcrcntially bowed to the dust, then
taking the priest’s hand, gently kissed it and
retired. Directly behind the priest was a
small alcove, painted a bright green, and
filled with a variety of antique small arms,
swords, daggers, battle axes, etc. On the
walls were many mottoes or sentences in
frames, and some prayer rugs. A small
brazen censor containing burning trunkin-
cense and spices, filled the room with aro-
matic fragrance.
nows or srnc'ra'rons.
Around three sides of the low room were
galleries, some closely latticed and occupied
by Turkish women; others open and filled
with curious spectators like ourselves. The
best location was reserved for Turkish gen-
tlemen and soldiers. Beneath these galleries
was still another, elevated a. step or two
above the main floor, and separated from it
byalow railing, and fiu'nished with seats
for spectators. On the. main floor were
spread many rugs of Angora goatskiu, on
which were seated old men, regular patri-
archs in appearance, while two groups of
little children were ranged behind them.
Sealed close to' the low railing were rows of
men clothed in the flowing Dervish mantle
and tan colored “galuph,”. a tall, brimlcss
felt but, strongly resembling an inverted
flower pot, bound round the head by along
black scarf, with ends left flowing. These
ends were at intervals in the course of the
service tenderly pressed to the lips. At
other times the eyes were carefully wiped
with these mourning badges.
Conspicuous before, the high priest stood a
lithe figure, with a pale, cadaverous counte-
nance, but a keen, penetrating eye, who was
slowly manipulating a long, white scarf. He
first threw it around his shoulders, thus
symbolizing the all embracing love of Allah;
then, binding it tightly, about his waist, he
began tying and untying it, each knot hav-
ing a particular significance. His whispered
words will bear this interpretation: ' “I tie
up greed; I untie charity. I tie up hate; I
untie love. ' I tie up pride; I untie humility.”
And so on through along list. Then began
amonotonous chant that soon swelled toa
tremendous howl. All rose to their feet and
kept time with swaying body and jerking
head in a frantic manner? ‘ ‘
The old' and feeble, among them gradually
dropped out of the circle and took seats on
the ru near the center of the room, beside
the rows of standing children, At length
the eyes of the spectators became riveted
upon the face and figure of a little 3-year-old
baby, who stood for two long hours swaying
its frail body in perfect unison with the der-
vishes, and with his rosy, cherub mouth ut-
tering the same indeecribably impressive
cry of Allah! When the rude throng had
at length worked themselves up to a state of
religious frenzy the little boy also rolled his
bright eyes about as if beholding a heavenly
vision.
ENDURANCE 0F INFANTS.
I can camp-are this wcwhip .to confine l
have ever witnessed, except it be the intense
excitement exhibited at meetings among the
“colored brethren” on a southern plantation
in the old “slave times” in our own country.
One who has seen those impressionable peo-
ple jumping, shouting and falling down with
“the power” can imagine something of the
harrowing spectade before as .toeley;
To my mind nothing was so impressive as
the power of endurance shown b the infants
on exhibition. I shudder when think of the
torture they must have been subjected to in
the private drill necessary to prepare them
for such a performance in public. Some of
the children seemed free to pass in and out
at will, but the tiny boy spoken of above and
a little girl (a huncbback) never left their
posts a minute nor ceased to sway their
bodies and shout until the performance
was concluded by a louder clapping
and howling, more violent jerking o,
the head and wilder tumult "than
before. Then a sudden hush, when, without
a. signal or look from any one, this lovely
little baby demurcly marched up to the high
priest to receive his blessing, then laid him
(lawn, his face to the ground before the
venerable man, Another, who appeared to
beahigh chief of the order, now took the
stalwart priestby the hand while he placed
both feet on the body ,of this frail infant and
stood with his face turned upward, while he
.muttered what appeared to be a prayer,
Then other children followed. First came
the little hunohback, then three or four at a
, time,vfinally ten or twelve laid glgwn, form:
inga human “corduroy road” for the high
priest to walk over, until at least twenty
children had thus received his blessing and
had the evil spirit driven out of them. This
ceremony is supposed to be a panacea, and .
there are always invalids brought to
the Take during services to be cured of real
or imaginary ills. One aged man laid down
to be walked upon today, and one little boy,
who was brought in by'his devout and d9.-
ygted father, refused utterly to be comforted
in this manner, and was carried out most
boisterously victorious, '

Cities in the “’rong I’luce.
Nevertheless, we must all regret that in
the original foundation of cities the pion-
eers are frequently so short sighted as to
choose spots which will give posterity no
end of expense. I never could see much
reason for putting the city of Rome where
it stood, and then having to bring water
to it on high arched aqueducts from dis-
tant mountains and to find a. port down in
tho unhealthy marshes miles away from
the city. Paris uud Edinburgh and Con-
stantinople are well placed cities, New
York could have been placed elsewhere
than on ibis island of gneiss, which is
probably a series of rack islets with sand
hills and quick sands between. Brooklyn
has been growing prodigiously of late, be-
cause it was so much easier to form a city
there than upon the site of New York.
Newark has also grown with great rapid~
ity, because it has advantages on the con-
tineutfll mainland not enjoyed by New
York.
W'cstcbcstcr county, north of New Yer
island, would have been Ibo easiest of al
places to put a great city, which would
then have been fronted upou Long Island
Sound and on the Hudson river, and also
on the main continent, while the Harlem
river in front of it would long ago have
been made into a sort of Thames. Still,
the impediments put in man’s way leadto
his art and civilization, and, as New York
is, enterprise will continue to figure and
scheme upon it so that the lust complaint
which, .CQ-ll b9 made against its comfort
and intercourse shall subside to peace.—

Snow in the Arctic Regions.
When the snow block is cut out from the
trench it is about the size of a large pillow,
but of course rectangular ‘on any section;
Running a knife over a slide it" will crumble
of! in a sandy mass, like scrapin a lump of
white sugar, and not in a thin, ' tic slice
like the snow in our own zone 'wh'é'n‘ treated
in the same way. This soft, plastic charac-
ter of the snow is, I think, practically un-
known is the Arctic country. it being there
of such a firm, solid character that when a
snow block is held clear of the ground an ‘
struck with a knife it will give forth for
some seconds a clear, metallic, musical ring.
nearly as pronounced as striking a suspended
bar of tempered steel, Leaving ‘out glass
and the metals, I recall nothing new more
resonant than the compacted snow of the
Arctic. ‘
This snow, .too, is as porous as a lump of
white sugar, and while it is hardly right to
say that it freely admits the air, yet when
the snow house is closed by putting up the
block of snow which forms the door there is
enough nip pcrmeating its porous wallsto
give ample ventilation to the people inside.
I have seen a lighted 'cancfle held to a snow
house wall on the inside have its flame ivisi'bly
deflected by the incoming air, a strong wind
blowing on the outside at the time. In fact,
the solid snow block, from six inches to a
foot in thickness, is seldom considered suffi-
cient protection in the intense Icold of the
Arctic winter, and all properly constructed
snow houses have an extra foot of loose snow
thrown over the blockwork to keep out the
cold—Frederick Schwatka. ’

’TWAS ALL A MISTAKE.
Was It all a mistake? Ah, told your arms closer
And press my head nearer your breast;
For my brain has grown weary with thinking and
weeping,
And my and heart is longing for mar.
Was it all a mistake when, within your dear hand,
You clasped mine with quickening breath,
And vowed before God that, forsaklng all others,
You would love me and keep me till death:-
Was it all a mistake? Is there any one dearer
For whom your man‘s heart cries aloud?
Is there any “sweet hope" lying dead in your
bosom
That your marriage vow hides like a shroud?
Was it all a mistake when I thought I could cheer
you
And brighten your pathway through life?
Do you dream of a face that Is fairer than my
face? ..
Of a name you hold dearer than “wife?“
Was it all a mistake? Are you longing for free-
(loin?
All! I pray that release may be near:
That death's arms may take me and hear me to
heaven .
To await—what was that? Not a tear!
Ab, my own, you are weeping! You‘re sorry you
said it?
‘Twas anger that made those words fail?
Then take me yourself, dear, and don‘t let death
have me.
For I don't want to die after all.

A RESTAURANT KEEPER‘S 'PLAI-I.
Novel Method for Collecting the Bills of
Bad Customers—Legal Doubts.
The owner of an uptown restaurant has
had so many bad debts lately that he has
built a turnstile at his door, and no customer
can escape till he has paid tulle amount of his
. check. It is claimed that this detention is
l
_ in view of securing its full eflects.
utterly illegal, and that a citizen who found
himself on the wrong side of the gate with-
out the money to pay for his release could be
got out promptly on a writ of habeas corpus,
and that afterward he could sue for heavy
damages for illegal detention, with a fair
chance of getting a. handsome verdict. The
restaurant keeper has been advised of all
this, but he says he is going to take his
chances and collect all his bills until some
one interferes with him.
A heavily built gentleman with a fierce
eye, who looked like a pensioned ofl' prize
fighter, got caught in the machine the other
evening. His tenderloin steak, with grilled
muffins, cost him just fifteen cents more than
he had. He sailed gayly up to the turnstile
and asked the man who worked the appa-
ratus to charge the fifteen cents to his ac—
count.
“Nixy,” said the money taker. “We’ve
got you here, and we shall keep you till you
pay."
The tenderloin steak and the grilled muf-
fins had infused fresh blood and courage into
the prize fighter. He made a dash at the
tumstile, but there was a catch like-a brake
that the jailer worked with his foot. This
stopped it from opening. The jailer sneered.
The moneyless customer grew madder and
madder. He picked up a. chair, and, striking
a heroic attitude, smashed the turnstile to
smithereens and strode over the smitherecns
to the door. There he was halted by a po-
liceman. The proprietor of the restaurant
trap demanded his arrest, but the customer
explained that he had been illegally de-
tamed, and undera ruling of .the supreme
court was entitled to use all the means at his
command to effect his escape- If he owed
money for his food it must be collected by
civil process, because his payment on account
showed that he had not intended to defraud.
The defaulting customer was allowed to go
after he had left his name and address. The
sneer that had lurked on the jailer’s face was
transferred to that of the customer. The
trap restaurant keeper went inside towouder
how long it would be before the remaining
turnstile was demolished by some other an-
gry diner.—New York Press.
Cape Town Merchant and Kaffir.
The merchants here depend on importation
to supply them with their stocks, and as a
rule pay cash for them, or a credit of sixty
days at the furthest; but when they sell their
goods it is quite another thing, for when the
Boers come to town to buy goods they ex-
pect a year’s credit, for they have no money
to pay for anything until they have sold their
crops of wheat or wool. This system is the
curse of the colony and prevents the develop-
ment of the farming country. This trouble
does not exist between the merchant and
Kaflir. When Mr. Kafiir comes to town he
has to pay cash, spot cash, and yet some of
them are richer than many of the Boers; but
he is not to be trusted; he has too many
wives to feed and clothe and children run-
ning about to put him up to tricks. When
the day comes to go to town to lay in a sup-
ply he puts on such clothing as some white
man has given him, and away he goes with
one of his many wives trotting behind him
to carry the goods home.
I once saw a Kaflir on the street with noth—
ing on him at all savea plug hat, a linen col-
lar and a swallow tail coat. Not a stitch of
any other clothing was to be seen. Another
time I saw a Kafiir astride of a dilapidated
quadruped, bare headed, an old coat on, the
remnants of an umbrella over him and his
big toes booked in the stirrups of an old sad-
dle. His wife was running behind, a. kettle
and bundle on her head and an infant
strapped to her back. They were going
shopping and they paid cash for their pur-
chases—Cape Town Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle.
Tobacco Chewing Abroad.
It is a common belief that tobacco chewing
is an essential American vice. An acquaint-
ance of mine who is in the business has un—
dertaken to disabuse me of that belief with
facts and figures. Enormous quantities of
chewing tobacco are, he tells me, consumed
in England, Holland and Germany. The
tobacco is in plug shape, and generally al-
most pure leaf, without flavoring. Attempts
have been made to popularize fine cut chew-
ing tobacco abi'oad, but without success. Tile
same plugs from which the smoker cuts his
pipeload of tobacco serve him also for an oc-
casional quid. Nothing like the variety of
chewing and smoking tobaccos we know in
this country is in existence in the old coun-
try. Enropeafi tobacco is also much dearer
and inferior in quality to our own. Only in
Spain, which has the benefit of Cuban to-
bacco, can you find anything like the high
average of the weed familiar with us. In
Germany and France cigars are abominable,
and, the quality of smoking tobacco very low.
People, says my informant, 0f luxurious
tastes smoke tobacco in Europe that only the
poorest laborers here would use. As for
cigars, a decent smoke cannot be bought un-
der 1:. shilling in. England, a franc in France
or a mark in Germanystlfred Trumble in

Promoting Painless Dying.
It is probable that, notwithstanding ap-
pearances, the majority of deaths are pain-
less; but some do suffer grievously in dying
and expire in great bodily torture. In such
cases too often the physician retireswhen all
hope of preserving life is gone and leaves the
patient unaided to the struggles of dissolu-
tion. William Munk, M. D., F. S. A., etc,
in a thoughtful and eminently practical little
volume, “Euthanasia, or Medical Treatment
in Aid of an Easy Death,” seeks to remedy
this neglect and, tempered With the tone of
a Christian philosopher, lays down the pre-
cepts which should govern the doctor in the
,management of the dying. The London
é Lancet unreservedly commends Dr. Munk’s
5 views on the value of opiuminmany cases
and urges its employment with the great end
“It. is
simply a neglect of duty anda fault in our
. conduct of the last days or hours of many
patients, to withhold the inestimable boon
afforded by opium in full doses, We have
no right to stand aside and withhold our
skilled labor in this direction, and we rather
suspect such promotion of euthanasia is not
uncommonly neglected, or but unperfectly
carried out in many cases."--Chicago News.
ripe smelting in Basia...“
Pipe smokingis rather encouraged than
otherwise by English ladies. Probably this
is from two causes. It is more economical
and more cleanly in the house, the fumes of
tobacco from a pipe not hanging abouts
room so long as those of a cigar, there being
less dust and dirt following a. pipe and the
smell of burned tobacco being far less offen-
sive the next day than is that of stale cigar
smoke. English ladies, too, seem to prefer
to see the more robust pipe smoker than the
(to them) somewhat effeminute cigar or cigar-
,ette inhaler."l?§ut, whereas 'in this country
no apartment is completely furniShed’ withl

so lost to the assufned decencies of social

t) would be deemed a coarse creature, ut-

chief causes—Chicago News.
