The Indies in particular will be glad
to know just how thbgs are conducted
in a lodge of Frecmasons. A pamphlet
under the sanction of the bishop OF
Toulouse, has been issued and exteE-
sively circulated, which declares that
the Frcemasons are possessed of sa-
tanic secret; that they perform mock
cry of the mass on an altar lighted by
six candles; that every member, after
splitting on the crucifix, tramples it be-
meath his feet; and that, at the con-
clusion of the ceremony, every one as
cends the altar and strikes the holy
sacrament with poniard.
The education of the girl rs house.
keeper should he begun by the mother
early, and continued until the marriage
of the daughter, and no other duty Of
the mother nor study of the daughter
should interfere with il. This and the
school education should go on simul-
taneously. If anything is to be post
poncd, let it be music and drawing and
philosophy, which, as experience shows,
are usually unattended to and unprac-
ticed after the happy event. The
more and higher the education the
better. But let us have real and
practical, instead of a sham education.
Female devotion goes almost wholly
unrewardcd in election times. Every
man knows that there is every reason
in the world why he ought to stay out
until | or 2 o'clock in the morning II
he wants to. His neighbor does, and
he makes up his mind to do 1t, too.
Therefore, when he is steered home ut
an unusual hour, and, from glimpses
of gaslight through the window shutters
knows that his wife is sitting up waiting
for him, he feels it is not love on her
part, but tyranny. 1t is this that makes
him open the door stealthlly, take his
boots off in the front hall, and go down
and sleep on the basement sofa.
A husband and wife were celebrating
the twenty-fifth anniversary Of their
wedding, and when quite little circle
was gathered about them the husband,
with not little selfcomplacency, said:
"Here my wife and have been mar
ried for twenty-five years, and in all
that time neither of us has ever spoken
to the other an excited or unkind word"
"Thunder," said the witty DIR. M,
what n stupid time you must have
had of i'll"
If the orphan asylums are not for
the shelter of orphans, what are they
for? Such II question was propoundcd
recently by Adam Seltz to the author
tiles of the German orphan asylum in
Baltimore, when they vowed by his
name that they would not admit him
to the privileges of that institution.
Adam Seltz is eighty years old, but he
is unquestionably an orphan.
Nothing tends more thoroughly to
shatter ones confidence in outward ap-
pearanccs than to see a young man,
clad in the height of fashion, saunter
into crowded restaurant, pull off his
kids, languidly seat himself at table,
consult the bill of fare, and then i'm
mediatcly afterward to hear the walters
voice ringing out the magic words,
zone plate of hash and a glass of
water

Enthusiastically jumping the old ma

down for our side, Johnny" when by
the light of the ascending flames, which
were trying to toy with the pale-faced
moon, he discovered that he had ON
his wife's velvet basque, spangled with
bugles and beads.
An Illinois editor boasts of being the
proud possessor of several ears of
Egyptian corn that are quite a curl
osity. Husks not only enclose the ears,
but the kernels themselves are each
covered with husk, the same in text
ure as the outside husk.
Never lose an opportunity of seeing
anything beautiful. Beauty is Gods
handwriting; wayside sacrament.
Welcome it in every fair face, every
fair sky, every fair flower, and thank
him earnestly with your eyes. 1t is
charming draught cup of blessing.
A gentleman questioning a little boy,
said: "When your father and mother
forsake you, Johnny, do you know who
will take you ups' ayes, SIR said he.
"And whoy' said the friend. "1'he po-
lice was Johnny's reply.
Employment iscssential to happiness,
and so generally is this recognized that
there are times when even the LATEST
