The Ever Ready Hairpin.
Not long since a Long Island girl
while driving a friend to the station up-
set the villagelcart and broke one of the
traces, which she deftly mended with a
hairpin and got her guest to the station
in time for the train. But as the smoke
of the approaching locomotive showed
its white feather in the distance it was
discovered that during the accident the
friend’s dress had been torn quite 01? the
band.
“I cannot possibly go to town like
this!” she cried in dismay, holding up
several breadths with the gathers com-
pletely unripped. Ever equal to the
emergency, the fair Long Islander drew
shookback her flying tresses. ran one
hairpin through half of the loosened
fields, made a hook at the end so that it
could not slip, gathered up the rest on
another, fastened it in the same way,
secured the whole to the band with a
third, and finished just as'the train came
steaming up, so that her visitor went on
her way rejoicing. none the worse for
her exciting ex; orieuce. -—New York

Women’s Influence Over Men.
1 do not believe a man was ever re-
formed by scolding or sarcasm. Tears
and repinings and complaints soon grow
to be an old story to him. He can find
more pleasure among his convivial com-
panions than he finds in such a home.
Alas, that it should be so.
.Good women ought to study the art of
pleasing more than they do. No woman
can aflord to fall back on her goo<h1esl
to reform a man. It' 13 adangerous ex-
periment and one that rarely succeeds.
The average man must be entertained.
A man who has been a hard drinkerot
op1um victim cannot suddenly give up
his vices without some stimulant to take
their place for a time. A man accus-
tomed to the excitement of gay company
cannot suddenly become satisfied with the
dullness and stupidity which many good
people allow to creep into their homes.—

The Mouse as a Pet.
A Winsome pet is the common brown
mouse, and now I fancy I hear the most
vigorous protests from my readers, who,
though they do not shriek and take ref-
uge on chairs and tables like Howells’
feminine characters, still have a. strong
feeling of distaste to him. Nothing can
be imagined more dainty, graceful and
altogether captivating than the tricks
and manners of this humble resident
within our walls. .
Once allay the poor little creature’s
fears of his big, clumsy human persecu-
tors, and his delightsome qualities are
apparent. Frisky in movements, droll
in conceits and eccentric of action, he is
a never ending source of entertainment.
Moreover, he is as teachable as the rat,
absolutely neat» in his ways and 3 most
loving to his friends.—Harper’s Bazar.
Good Lawyers.
Some of the most pious, the most con-
secrated, the most consistent, the mOSt
humble Christians we have known per-
sonally and intimately have been or are
now lawyers. We could name several
who have through long lives lived close
up.to their Heavenly Father in sweet and
gracious communion. We say further
that many of the purest, noblest men we
have known—patriots in a high sense,
with lofty ideals and a morale comparae
'ble to the best—were lawyers. They
were an ornament to their country and
the human race. We know some of this
kind who still survive—Wilmington (N.
C.) Messenger.
A Child’s Reasoning
Among the many anecdotes relating
to the. late Rev. Thomas H111, D. D., is
one told by himself. Dr. Hill and his
wife awoke quite early one morning and
regarded with interest a crib which con-'
17:11an a precocious child of less than 43
cars. Presently the child turned her
zace up to the ceiling and soliloquized:
“Oh, how much easier it is for a. person-
tothink thantoact. Now, with ado:

Difficulty of Saillng 5 Boat. .
Watched from the wharf, a. sailboat
seems an easy sort of craft to manage.
The wind appears to do everything. The
- casual guest of a skilled skipper likewise
is apt to think that as his host takes
things so easy it cannot be so very dim-
cult to handle a sailboat after all. He
based on the jealousy of competition.
Let him who thinks sailing a science
which its followers try to represent as
.. hardto‘learn because they want to keep
it to themselves take a trick at the helm
once.
It looks easy to keep the boat on her
course. Y our friend who takes you out
sailing barely touches the tiller once in
aw hile. Some day he asks 3 on to take
the tiller while he goes forward. He tells
you to keep thatD spire and that tall
chimney" 1n line. You take the helm; you
do w hat you think you have seen himdo.
The chimney and the steeple act as if they
not come into line. You observe in a
knowing tone, “She doesn t seem to
mind her helm.” But she 15 minding her
helm, and pretty soon you find out what
jibing means.
Most of the fatalities of summer sailing
are due to the errors of the man who
thinks sailing is easy, who is confident
that he knows all about it. In reality
many a sea captain who can handle a big
ship without difficulty does not feel at
ease in command of a sailboat. Boat
sailing is a course at the Naval academy
in which the cadets undergo arduous
training under the most skilled instruct-
ors—Boston Transcript.
The Fox, the Badger and Rabbits. ’
The fox noses the rabbits out at times
and scratches them out. As to the badger,
what could be more delicate for his very
accommodating appetite than tender
young rabbits? They put flesh onto his
ribs after his fast—often a long 0'and com-
pulsory one—in winter. So he digs for
them 1'31 the most businesslike manner,
just like a mole. He knows where they
are exactly—his nose tells him that—and
in less than two minutes the fore part of
him is buried. All you will see will be
his hind legs working vigorously and a
lot of earth moving. But he gets his
rabbits. Hungry stomachs are hard to
reason with. .The badger is, I know, as
a rule, nocturnal in his habits, so is a
fox; but where the places that they fre-
quent are quiet and secluded they will at
times hunt by day for their food. A
vixen and her mate at times reverse the
order of things. Like humans, wood-
land wild creatures are governed by cir-
cumstances.
I have at difierent times met with the
fox and the badger in spots where I cer-
tainly did not expect to see them. And
when I have gone where, according to
my reckoning, they ought to have been
—-so far as locality could be relied on_
they were not there. Very contradic-
tory experiences one has in looking for
wild things. —Blackwo'od’s Magazine.
The Habit of Carelessness. _
In youth men are self reliant, self- as-
sertive and self sufficient. Soon they
find themselves mistaken, possibly in lit-
Hence the chagrin of the first errancy1s is
softened by the reflection that its conse—
often they fail to emphasize the 1mpor-
their personal influences widen. Hence
their tostimony without sufficient proof
for themselves begins to wOrk mischief
for others. Then follow surprises, mis-
understandings, alienations‘, ., crimina-
tions, heartaches and occasionally some-
thing worse. Friendships are broken, in-
tegrity' IS wounded confidence 13 shaken.-
human testimony is suspected.
Now all this is. not the result chiefly
of any essentially bad trait in human
nature. It arises rather from careless-
ness and a sort of insincere” habit of con-
dening the fault on the score of personal
insignifican‘ce “Oh, I d1dn 1: mean It '”
covers a multitude of these sins among
our 3 ounger friends. But, alas. “younger
friends” soon grow into midlife, and. the
careless habit, once indulged, barnacles
itself upon age—Boston Commonwealth.
Robert Louis Stevenson’s Story Writing.
Mr. R. L. Stevenson says that he be-
gins work every morning at 6 o‘chck
and sometimes keeps at it all day in spite
of an impression that three hours of
writing' 15 enough. “I am a laborious
writer,” he avers, thereby encouraging
the worthy band whose motto 1s “Labor
Omnia Vinci ” and who have faith that
nothing' 1s beyond the reach of hard work.
But straightway he dashes their hopes
when 'he says, “I inherit ataste for story

3 has” always been father' s to
give his children a fair education, but as
the family increased to size and numbers
and father’s salary would not grow in the
same proportion, he found it necessary
to cut down some of the avenues of ex- .~ .
penditure. One of his first thoughts was
that of the shoe bill for the family. Said
he, “I’ll be the cobbler when any shoes
need repairing after this.” Unfortunate-
ly my shoes gave out first, and the next
day was set for repair day. Father
brought from the shop where he was
working some of the old belting that had
been laid by. This leather was thorough-
1yc saturated with oil, and as I entered
the schoolroom next day with new taps
on my shoes the oil would form a mark
on the floor, just like a footprint on the
newly f llen snow, and what good ex-
cuse to 11 I couldn’t think of.
It became an eyesore to the whole
school, and I was'wishing somehow I
might take a vacation. Finally the
teacher noticed it. I was called up to
the desk, leaving my track all the way,
and asked to explain. Shaking like a
leaf, I told the story. My brother Jack
and I had got to fighting the other day
in the cellar, and he threw me in a pan
of grease that was near by cooling.
That lie settled the teacher, but the other
element of the school were. not satisfied
until they stdod me on my headand
looked at my shoes—Cor. New York
Recorder.
In a City Restaurant.
A trifling incident noted not long ago
in a city restaurant tells its own story
and needs no spoken moral. Two girls,
possibly attendants in a. shop, were sit-
ting together eating their luncheon, and
one was holding forth to her companion
on an experience which had just befallen
her.
“I came in here,” said she, “and got
this seat, but wan’t long before an old
lady camh 1n and sat next to me. She
took off one pair of glasses and put on
another. Then she stared and stared at
the bill of fare and laid it down. I
thought first she couldn’t read a. word.
Then she turned around to me.
“ ‘Will you let me sit next to the win-
dow?’ says she.
“I didn’t take any notice, and m amin-
ut‘e she said it again. Then I answered
her:
“ ‘No,’ says I, ‘this' IS my-seat, and I’m
going to keep it.’
“She turned’ way round in her chair
then and looked me all over. Then she
looked away. But I guess she knew I’d
got the best of her, for she did have the
manners to say:
“ ‘I beg your pardon.’
“She spoke real low, and I noticed she
looked kind of surprised '—Y outh’s Com-

Sticks In Mercantile Life.
Many young men choose a mercantile
position for the present only without
thought or intention of making it a per-
manent business. The result 18 that of—
tentimes we find these men at 30 years
receiving no more pay than they did
when only 18.
There 1s an ‘army of this class of young
men behind counters today. They are
an aim1ess,.pitiab_le class. They stand
listlessly' 1n their departments and areas
unobservant of what 5 going on around
them as are the inanimate figures which
one sees at the entrance of clothing estab-
lishmen-ts.
Many of them let slip grand opportu-
in the commercial. world and have
doomed themselves to the treadmill of
common drudgery. Singleness of pur-.
pose implies self 1eliance, without which
a y oung business man is not” thoroughly

Pleasure In theHenvens.
There is a satisfaction in learning the
names and positions of the stars that
does-not belong. to the study of the
planets. The stars apparently never
change so far as their position relative
to\each other 13 concerned. The planets
are always moving, and to those who do
not watch the heavens with particular
attention it is a cause of surprise very.
often to find a “new star” adorning a
certain section of the heavens. If, how-
ever, this newcomer be carefully ob-
served from night to night, it will be
found to change its distance from the
fixed stars, and theobserver will discover
that it is” a planet and at liberty to wan-
der about from place to place under the
sole condition that it obeys certain rules
of motion. When the bright stars that
grace the heavens become familiar-tool)-
servers, they will know just what to e1:-
pect on each succeeding seasdn.«-New

Customers Too Particular.
Some yearsago the proprietors of a so
called “ulster house” in London placed
in their windows a placard setting forth
a new rule of their estabhshment, uninc-
ly, that no orders given by Americans
would be executed unless the orders
were paid for beforehand The proprie-
tor on being interviewed declared that
American ladies were much too hard to
please—infinitely more so than English
ones. They' msis upon hav'mgtheu'
things made to fit or theyrefused totake
them. “I had an ulster sent back to me
the other day, for instance,”
marked, “by an American customer
merely because it was longer in front
than it was at the back”. Only that and
