How to Make Children Lovely.

There is just one way, and that is to
surround them by day and by night with
an atmosphere Of love. Restraint and
reproof may be mingled with love, but
love must be constant element. Il
found my little girl was growing un-
amiable and plain" said a mother to us
the other day, land rejecting on it sadly,
could only accuse myself as the cause
thereof So changed my management
and improved every opportunity to
praise and encourage her, to assure her
OF my unbounded affection for her and
my earnest desire that she should grow
up to lovely and harmonious womanhood.
As rose opens to the sunshine, so the
child's heart opened in the warmth of the
constant affection and caresses showered
upon her; her peeyishness passed away,
her face grew beautiful, and now one
look from me brings her to my side Obe-
dent to my will, and happiest when she
is nearest to me-" Is there not in this a
lesson for all parents? Not all the plow-
ing, or wedding, or cultivating eff every
sort we can give our growing crops will
do for them what the steady shining OF
the sun can effect. Love is the sunshine
of the family; without it no character,
or morality, or virtue can be brought to
perfection.

How to Prevent Scale in Boilers.
rom the Pittsburgh Commercial.

From the Pittsburgh Commercial.
For many years past scientists and
practical mechanics have been trying to
hit upon an effective preventive of boi er
inciustatiOns, but their experiments have
been attended with only partial success.
Accident, however, would seem to have
at length placed the problem in a fair
way of solution. According to the Troy
Times, which gives the particulars, an
engineer of the French steamer st. Lau-
rent, having occasion to make certain re-
pairs of the boilers, overlooked an ingOt
of zinc when his work was finished, and
it was left in the generator. Some time
afterward being in search OF the zinc, he
found that the incrustatiOn left by the
water was not, as usual. hard and firm,
but kind of soft mud capable OF being
easily removed. On the next voyage of
the ship some zinc was purpOsely left in
the boilers, and the same effect was pro-
duced. Further experiments have con-
firmed the belief that at last true pre-
venIive of incrustatiOn has been discOv-
cred. An eminent French chemist has
been making investigations, and his con-
clusiOn is that the zinc and iron of the
boiler reciprocally produce vOltaic action,
the zinc being the negative and the iron
the positive pole. The fOrmeris gradu-
ally consumed and the latter protected
from oxidation and waste. The subject
is one of uncommon importance to all
who are interested in the construction
and use OF steam boilers.

One of the sad results of excessive re-
ligious excitement was witnessed last
evening on the north side. A young
girl, living on East Indiana street, near
Clark, had devoted herself to religious
exercises and reading until she had be-
come partially demented, and, in fervor
of what she deemed pious zeal, she con-
dluded that to the pure in heart all
things were pure, and that therefore
clothes were only a hindrance and en-
tirely superfluous to the righteous. Thus
believing, she removed every article of
raiment from her person and ran out on
the street. Before her absence from the
house had been noticed she had made her
way to Clark street and passed rapidly
along that thoroughfare for two or three
blocks before anybody could muster I'D
courage enough 10 stop her. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that she was the observ-
ed of ali whom she met. At length a
man with more moral stamina than the
rest stopped her and wanted her to go
home. She refused to dc this, however,
and also declined to put on shawl
offered her by lady, saying to the latter
that she would not be defiled Dy the
touch of garments, and that only the SIN
fu' needed covering; as for herself she
was clothed with righteousness, and
needed nonother habiliments than those

A French Romance,


A charming little story is told Of a
pretty little French actress in one of the
theatres of Paris. While the theatre was
closed for short time she made wager
that. though ignorant of the English
language, she could travel alone for q
week In Hampshire, England, support
Ing herself by singing i'm the villages the
favorite chdnsons of France. CleverlY
Disgusting herself as an Alsatian peasant
a few weeks. ago she sailed for England,
and avoiding Southampton. where she
feared recognition. she took the train for
Farnham. and with guitar i'm hand was
soon singing Beranger's charming little
songs in a market village. The coppers
of the rustic villagers poured into the
pocket of the swcet-voiced BOhemienne,
and her eyes sparkled at the thought of
how soon her voice befriended her i'm the
land of the stranger. During her ram
bles she caught the eyes of party of
young officers from the regiment at AL
dershot, who chaffed each other after the
manner of their k nd, aud threw hand
fuls of silver to the little song bird.
Among them was one who, educated I'm
France, had not forgotten the charms of
the daughters of that sunny land, and
became fascinated with the girls fault
iCcS dhQ AOfCll AOin H.
selle was pressed to dine with tile officers
when the day was done, but declined
with thousand thanks and such a grace
that the young officer became, as the nov
clistS say. madly in love. She travel
ed OH boat to a neighboring hamlet, Oh
tanned lodging, and after laughingly
counting over the gains of the day,
wrote back to Paris a piquant story of
her first days campaigns, not forgetting
to mention the '.lOvely young Officer.''
Next day the warbler was again heard
In the streets, and anew came her adorer
to drink i'm her sweet notes, and gaze in
the lustrious depths of her wOndrous
eyvs, and again his hospitality was re-
fused. but she deigned to accept a crust
Of bread and a glass of claret. The Off
Ger told his love, and. begging to accom-
pany her, had for an answer. ssYou NAV
accompany me if you will travel en- trou-
badour" He shook his head and shrug-
ped his shoulders. This was more than
he had asked for. To travel en- troubn-
dour through the heat and dust, gather
ing cOppers with a strolling singer was
too much Loves young dream. was not
bright enough to justify him i'm thus rem
dering himself conspicuous as the butt of
the jokes of the garrison at Aldershot
hard by. And thus they parted, he going
back to his barracks, and she. after win
ming her wager, to her place in the thea
ire at Paris. Again she stood before the
footlight, and among those who sat in
her audience was pensive young Eng
lish officer When the curtain had fall
en- and she was stepping into her coupe a
voice at her side attracted, and few hur-
ried words were spoken in her ear.
Mademoiselle turned away with sad
dened expression, and quickly said, in an
almost mournful tone, as only French
woman can say it, mo, no! monsieur
could not travel en- troubddOur Adieu
adieu!" and she was gone, whila the love
dream of two young hearts lay i'm the
dust beneath their feet. Frenchy, is it
not?

How to Succeed.

If your seat is too hard to sit upon
stand mp. liz a rock rises up before you
roll it away Or Climb overit. If you want
money earn it. If you wish for conf
dence prove yourself worthy of it. 1t
takes longer to skin an elephant than a
mouse, but the skin is worth something.
Do not be content with what another has
done-surpass it. Deserve success and
it will come. The baby was not born a
man. The sun does not rise like rocket
or 90 down like bullet fired from gun;
slow but surely it makes its round and
never tires. 1t is as easy to be a leader
as wheel-horse. If the job be long the
siiccess will be greater. If the task be
hard the more competent you must be

Home Conversational Tra,n,ne.

The Baltimore american writes: There
Is 10 nation more fluent in conversation
than the American. The French are
more vOiuble, perhaps, their language
permitting greater rapidity of prOnun-
citation than the English. Our best COLI
versatiOnalists are not rapid takers. Cine
trouble with us is each one likes TO do
all the talking; therefore Americans are
not good listeners. But mere talking is
not conversation. In almost all home
circles there is much talking done dur
ing the day, but we fear there are few
who do not reserve their most brilliant
conversational powers for other assem-
blages than the home group. Many a
father comes home tired he has worked
hard and talked great deal, told anus
ing anecdotes and displayed much wit.
He has to come to rest. He takes out
his paper and is soon ObliviOus to every
thing around him. Wife would like to
tell him many Of the little harassing af-
hictions of the day, and would like to
hear some OF his interesting experiences,
but if he were deaf mute he could not
be more silent, only an occasional grunt
answering her many attempts at CONVEX
satiOn; and the children, except the
good night kiss, and often not even that,
are not noticed. Such a home, whether
the abode Of wealth or otherwise, cannot
be healthy one. AS parallaX draw
around the evening lamp of another
home circle. The father tells the anec-
dotes from the paper as he reads them !;
the mother laughs her sweet, low laugh,
and the children burst into merry ha
ha'sl To watch them as they ask ques-
tiOns and listen to the answers aud pa
tient explanations, the wonderment, in
terest and thought imprinted on their
young faces is picture for an artist.
This home education is heritage more
valuable than land or money; and one
beautiful recompense in life is that in
making others happy we bring happi-
ness to ourselves. Parents who practice
self-denial and endeavor by cheerful con-
versation and playful wit to enliven home
life, will reap rich reward in the better
thoughts and nObler actions Of their
children, and will experience the truest
and best contentment themseles.
