How TO LlvE.-A wealthy gentleman of
Boston. several years ago. gave the editor of
the Worcester Palladium a short narration of
his own experience. He had an income of
$40, 600 a year. Ia large sum then, but not
considered SO now,l a house in town, and a
country seat a few miles out. lie had sever
al children. a coach. fine horses and driver.
and took pleasure in riding every day with
his children.
One day, when riding. the thought struck
him that each Of his children would expect to
have fine house. and coach. and horses and
a driver, as their father had before them. and
to live as he bad lived. and if not thew would be
unhappy. He did not think that all of them
could have things as he had them, or live as
he had lived; and he rode home, sent his
coach All horses to market. aud sold them /;
bought cheap carryall, and became his own
driver.
With emphasis he declared that no amount
OF wealth could induce him to return 10 his
former style of living. for ii any of his children
should chsnce to he poor. as in all probability
some of them would be, they should not suf-
er in their feelings by the reflection that
their father rode in his coach while thew had

them afforded him satisfaction greater than
his wealth had TO bestaw

LET THE Boy FiGnr, MADAM-A word of
advice To motber>-we are not a mother nur-
selves, but we know whereof we speak. New
er tell your little boys mot to fight"
Now 90 not stare at the paper in such as
tonishment and horror, dear madam-we do
not propose that you train no your darling
curly-headed boy to be prize fighter, nor
do we advise you 10 inculcatc peaceful no.
tons IN the boys head. or to encourage an
amcable disposition. We smoly ask you
not to Issue the command in general terms
without qualification. mot to fight"
We would remind you. in the first place,
madam. that such command is certain to
lead the conscientious boy into double the
number of fights which belong. by the ma
tural law of masculine childhood, to anv one
boy. conscientious child, for instance
goes among his fellows with a firm determin-
ation to obev his mother. He accordingly
bears the impostions which are continually
occurring among boys his schorlmates soon
learn that he does this, and take advantage
Of the iact. attributing it usually to cow
ardice. Human nature is not adamnnt
madam. even in your model boy. He en-
dures as much as ne can for your sake and
resorts to his fists. Nuw, if from the first he
stood up to his rights, as nothing but full per-
mission to defend them would enable him to
do, he w"nld have escaped the imposition and
consequently the contest.
For boy to defend his rights, and what he
considers his honor, is both natural and
praisworthy. 1t is a wrong for his mother to
compel him to do so with the feeling that he
is incurrng parental disrleasure. 1t un-
nerves him, II he have conscience and in
tends to do what is right. He feels an un-
avoldable necessity Of doing wrong.
Nothing is more common in the manage
ment of children than for parents to tell them
"nnt to fight" Nothing could be more alb
surd. But" says tie mother. ''he will be
sure enough to fight as much as is necessa-
ry. Tell him to fight like tiger if the
choice be between fighting and running away.
Tell him to protect his childish honor and his
rights, as you would have him protect his
manhood. You may then tell him to culti-
vate habits of peacefulness and to avoid such
| companions as delight in Sighting and bully
ing for their own sake. Advise your boy in
this way. madam. and our word for il, YOU
will have peaceful. manly, independent
child.-Ner Iork Mall.

WHAT 1T Cosrs TO K=Er HorEL.-A New
York correspondent gives some interesting
facts rs 10 what it costs in the course of year
to keep first class hotel. lie says:
The bills Of first class hotel, for supplies,
arc enough to support good many small
families. especially if they practice economy.
and don't keep dogs and horses, and Sarato-
ga trunks. For example, | will give yoa
some items from the balance-sheet of the A.
tor House, the oldest first class hotel in the
city. The Astor House pays SIS, 900 year
for groceries, including $4,000 for flour and
800, 900 for butter. The marketing bill is
about $3.50 O00-they pay one man from $50.
600 to $50 900 for beef alone, and the balance
of the Sl50.000 goes for mutton. veal. pork.
poultry, vegetables, fish. ETC. The milk and
cream for the AstOr cost Sl4, COO, about two
thirds Of it being for milk and one-third for
cream. Eggs cost about SO, 900. the aver
age use being 100 dozen daily, or IS. 900 doz-
en- annually. The gass bill is 1000. and
the Goa. bill pretty much the same friction
matches cost 81 so day or about $500 a
year; good many of these are not used in
the house, but find their way into the pock
cts of the patrons. Who would think of nav
ing for wooden tooth picks, when any body
can whttle one with little trouble? A mil
lion are used every year in the Astor House
at an expense of something less than SlOO.
The bill for liquors for the bar-room ia a
heavy one, but, fortunately for the pronr;e-
tor, the amount received from patrons ia a
great deal more.

A Coon JOKE ON BUTLER.-A friend in this
city has made us acquainted with good joke
on Butler. the Beast, as received directly
from the gentleman whose fun-loving children
were the cause of the meriment. The gentle
man relating the joke lived but few doors
from Butler in Washington City during the
late session Of Congress. The Beast had a
little poodle dog. of which he was extremely
fond and particularly careful to keep in the
house. The children of his neighborhood
were for some time anxious to get bold of the
dog. One day they finally succeeded in entie-
ing it from its retreat on Buffers premises.
Taking it up tenderly they carried it home
and took good care to guard against its es-
cape.
When Butler returned he discovered the
absence of his pet. The household was
aroused and servants were sent hlther and
thither through the streets in eager search
of the dog. But it is needless to say that
they we're unahle to find it. Finally Butler
himself stood directly in front of the gentle
man. s house. and the children, who, in the
meantime, had attached every conceivable
manner quantity of pewter spoons to the
dog, released it from captivity. it
Hew to its master, jumping upon him in the
excess of delight. and rattling the spoons with
a terrible din Eiln,ington Journal.

HAPPINESS IN A FUTURE STArE.-That hap-
piness has no absolute standard, but is mere
ly relative condition, the following incident
fully proves. II is told and vouched for by a
conductor entering the city. A few days ago,
while In promiscuous assemblage of stran-
gers In public place, he was attracted by a
lady OF surprising beauty, whose dress aud
manner indicated high social position. An
occasional wlidness in look. however led him
to watch her closely. aud from brief con-
versatlon which she held with another lady,
he discovered that she was a widow. and a
believer in spiritual manifestations. The
other lady, who protessed ta be ~'writing
medium" proposed to put her in commune
cation with the spirit of her departed husband,
to which arrangement she consented with evil
dent delight. The medium prepared herself
with paper and pencil, and falling quickly
into trance state, called for the spirit of The
late partner of the beautiful lady's Joys and
sorrows. After a brief delay q response was
received, and the interview proceeded thus
the medium writing down the answers, while
our railroad friend looked over her shoulder ::
Wife.-"My dear husband, do you know
me?"
Spirit.-"Yes.
Wife.-'IIow long have you been in your
present sphere?"
Sririt.-"Ever since left the body"
Wife.-''Do you regret your departure -
Spirit.-"No."
Wife.-"Are you happy"
Spirit.-"Yes."
Wife.-"Are you happier than when you
lived with me ?"
Spirit.-"Yes, far happier"
Wife.-"Where are you, my husband ?"
Spirit.-"In Tophet!'
The lady gave little scream and the medi-
um reused from her trance. 1t may, perhaps
be needless TO add that cur friend, who is n
bachelor, has postponed indefinitely the execu-
tion of any intentions which he might have
for the moment entertained towards the wild
ow. because of her wondrous beauty Troy

PRINTS on APPLES AND PEARs.-A friend
who has lately been on visit to the Hub of
the Universe, writes us thus:
have Just seen pretty and fanciful idea
developed on pears and apples in the orhcard
of friend at Roxbury, Massachusetts. As
you ramble among the trees you are ever and
anon saluted by an Inscription on the fruit,
done as it were by the hand of nature herself.
On some you will find the names of Seymour
and Blair, for our friend is strong Demo

Here you meet with the familiar names of
Mary and Alice, or n date tlS6S) in brief
everything that may suggest itself to your
fancy or taste and all done in the skin OF the
fruit, without abrasion of any foreign impress
s,cn. The discovery was made by the Hon
Arthur W. Alstin. of West Roxbnry in
1928. lie observed, during the former
year that the fruit did not redden in that part
OF the fruit where leaf happened to lie upon
1t. In 1852 he cut out letters from newspa-
pers, and wnen the apples were yet green be
pasted them upon them with paste such as
apothecaries use, made of gum tragacantb.
The apples would redden in all parts not cover
ed by the pasted letters. When the fruit had
Redeemed to perfection, the letters were re-
moved, and they would appear permanently
outlined IN green. So again, when be pasted
on the apple paper with the letters cut out, i,
the parts not covered by the paper would ap-
pear distinctly turned IN red. the green ground
surrounding them. The experiment is very
pretty one, and produces a happy effect Let
our fruit growers try it. How much sweeter
must be the relish of apple OF pear if the
name OF the favorite should thus appear on il.
written as if by the hand of nature. What Il
superior price such fruit would command in
market, and what pretty present it would
be to any lady at FEAST Charleston S. C..
