Managing Young Girls.

Why is it that gentlemen have such poor
opinions of young girls? As rule, they
think them very pleasant to pass an hour
with, provided the girls let them make as
many foolish speeches as they like and
repay them with interest. And who is to
blame for that1 Surely not the girls.
Their greatest ambition in life is to be
loved by and be the wife Of some good
man, and. say what you will, it is a no.
BILE one. With this end in view, it is, OF
course, natural that desire to please the
lords of creation should be uppermost in
a girls mind If men will not be inter-
ested when you talk sense, what can you
do but talk nonsensel Men complain
that girls have nothing to tolk about ex-
cept their last Irritation, balls and parties,
yet, if they converse with them for an
hour upon philosophy, metaphysics, or
even the last new book, you are bored
called poor girl who has worried her
brains for your entertainment Women
were made to please. not to lecture one
like trained professor, and wonder what
she did it for. No. no. What is it you
want? Ifyou were to lay down your
rules there is not one girl in a thousand
but would gladly obey them, ridiculous
as they would surely be. Try it and see.
If you have a lady friend whom you
would like so much if it were not for this
or that little fault, tell her so, and if she
cares anything for you she will correct it.
Treat women then more like human be-
ings, then prophesy a speedy change for
the better.

The Detroit Free Press has the follow

Yesterday evening a small man with

The Polar Bears Coming.

According to the E-quimax, the seal
constructs its abode beneath the surface
of the ice in such a manner that it can
enter it from the surface below; hence the
seal passes its infancy, and when the re-
turning heat Of summer has destroyed its
igloo or dwelling, the young seal is old
enough to take care of ITSELF but this
mode of lodging its youth beneath the ice
is well known to The bear. who, with his
keen scent, soon detects the whereabouts
of the seals nursery. and in order to gain
entrance, makes spring and comes down
heavily on the top of the igloo, brushes it
in. and Immediately seizes the young seal
with its paw. Here it might be supposed
the hungry bear at once devours its prey;
but no. it is far too weary to do soS it
knows full well that where a baby is,
there must of necessity be a mother.
and that she will be in search of her
darling: therefore the bear scrapes the
snow away from the seal hole, and hold
ing the young seal by the fippers allows
it to founder about, ard when the moth-
err approaches, the bear slyly draws the
Young seal toward it until the old one is
within reach, when he seizes her with
the other paw, and thus captures both.

When pacing his chamber one day
Because Of the sound Of a crazy old mill
That clattered so over the way.
''IIO, miller! =, cried he, "what sum shall you

In lieu of that wretched old shell?

Said the miller, Il want not to SELL"
''But you must" said the King-in passion
for once
"But won't" said the man in a heat
Goods this to my face? Ye are daft or a
Ounce
We can raze your old mill with the street,"
Gave, true, my good sire, ifsuch be your mood,
Then answered the man with a grin;
Gut never you'd move it the tenth of a rood
As long a Courts at Berlin"
GOOD, good, said the King-for the answer
was grand,
As opposing the Low to the Crown

Though even the palace come down"

Spend YOur Money at HON G.

An exchange gives the following ten
reasons why people shonld spend their
money at home. They are so forcibe
and well put that we cannot refrain from
presenting them to our readers, hoping
that they will give them the consideration
which they deserve:
LIST, 1t is your home; you can not i'm
prove it much by taking money away TO
spend or invest
ID. There is no way of improving a
place so much as by encouraging good
merchants. good schools and good PEG
pie to settle among you; and this can not
be done unless you spend your money at
home.
Sd. Spend your money at home, be-
cause there's where you generally get it;
it is your DUTY.
4th. Spend your money at home, be-
cause when it is necessary for you to get
credit, it is of your town merchants you
have generally TO get it, aud they must
wait for the money; therefore, when you
have the cash in hand, spend it at home.
5th. Spend your money at home. 1t
will make better merchants Of your mer-
chants; the can and will keep better as
sentiments and sell at lower rates than if
the only business they can do is what is
credited out, while the money goes to
other places.
9th. Spend your money at home.
You may have sons growing up who will
some day be the best merchants in the
town; help lay the foundations of them
now; it is duty it may be your pride in
after years to say. by my trading at
the store | got my son position as clerk;
and now he is proprietor. Then you
will think it hard your neighbors spend
their money out Of town. Set the exam
pie now,
It'll. Spend your money at home
Set the example now Buy your dry
goods, groceries, meats and everything at
home, and you will see wonderful change
in short time in the business outlook of
the place; therefore deal with your mer-
chants.
Sth. Spend your money at home
what do you gain by going off? Count
the cost see what you could have done
at home by letting your merchants have
the cash. Strike a balance and see if
you would not have been just as well off,
be,ides helping your merchant.
9th. Spend your money at home, your
merchants are your neighbOrs, your
friends; they stand by you in sickness
are your associates; without your trade
they cannot keep up their business. No
stores, then no banks, no one wanting to
buy property to settle on and build up
your place
1lth. Merchants should do their adj
vertising at home. They should get Il cir
bill-heads, circulars, cards, letter>heads-
and all their printing at home of their
own newspapers, who aid them in many
ways, and advertise them hundreds of
times without any pay whatever. Mer-
chants should set an example to their
customers by patronizing literally their
home newspapers. Men and women are
initiative animals and are prone to follow
examples set them. How can merchants
expect their neighbors TO trade with them
if they set the example Of going away
from home for their printing and adver-
Using? Let merchants and people all
patronize home enterprise, and home in
dustry and home trade. So shall they all
be prosperous and happy.

A WOman's Device.

A young lady of engaging personal ap-
pearance, says the Burlington Hawkeye,
who came here last week from Creston,
recently announced that she was going
to open a barber shop on North Hill.
The very mex; day each married woman
on North Hill surprised her husband,
whose many virtues she had long known
and admired, with a neat little present,
consisting of razor, lather-brush and
strop. And now, as oft as North Hill
man comes home, the wife of his bosom
puts her arm around his neck, and rubs
her downy cheek against his face, in all
apparent innocence and affection, but if
his cheek is smoother than when he went
away in the morning, she fans him with
the rolling piu until ne has to wear his
hat on which ever lump it will fit best.

Lion Tanning.

A curious story is related in the Gem
tleman's Magazine of an artist who pro-
fessed to be an intimate friend OF Van
Amburgh, the celebrated lion-tamer
Van Amburgh having been wounded by
one of his wild animals, permitted the
artist to visit the cages of his pets, when
he discovered that the claws were all re-
moved, and that they were fed upon
cooked meat and bon>bons He after
ward learned that the animals were not
upon any pretense allowed to smell blood
There does not seem, however, to be much
ground for the story, as it is a recognized
fact that the process generally adopted
for the tanning oil wild animans is just the
same as that adopted by Mr.. Rarey in
his wonderful powers Of horse-taming.
The animal is taught to know that man
is his master. lie is first kept under
subsection until he becomes accustomed
to the presence of his tanner. and then led
to obedience by kind and humane treat
ment When submission has thus be.
come acquired, upon every appearance of
rebellion the animal is easily kept under
subsection by the use of club or whip.
While the lion-taming business may be
looked upon with wonder by those who
have a morbid pleasure in such exhibi-
tons, it is at the same time an occupa-
ton attended at all times with danger,
and it is extremely doubtful whether,
with such exhibitions as the "trspeze,
it should not be abolished by common
consent, if not by the laws of the land.
