The Careful Mother and the Model
Boy.

The two didn't belong to each other,
and this very good boy may have been
n little too smart and saucy.
Little Mary was prettily dressed, and
standing in front of the house waiting
for her mother to go out to ride. A
tidy boy, dressed in coarse clothes, was
passing, when the little girl said:
leone here, boy, and shake hands wi
me. 1 dot boy dus' like you, named
Josy." The boy laughed, shook hands
with her, and said: I've got little
girl Just like you, only she hasn't any
little cloak with fur on it."
Here lady came out of the door and
said: MARY, you must not talk with
bad boys on the street. l hope you
haven't taken anything from her? Go
right along, and never stop here again,
boy"
That evening the lady was called
down to speak to boy in the hall. He
was very neatly dressed, and stood with
his cap in his hand. 1t was the enemy
of the morning. 81 came to tell you
that 1 am not bad boy" he said. 81
go to Sunday school, and help my
mother all can. never tell lies, nor
quarrel. nor say bad words; and 1 don't
like a lady to call me names, and ask me
if I've stolen her little girls clothes off
her."
"I'm very glad you're so good" said
the lady, laughing at the boys earnest
ness. Here's a quarter of dollar for
YOU" 81 don't want that" said Ben,
holding his head up very high. my
father works in a foundry, and has lots
of money. You've got a boy bigger
than 1, haven't you?" "Yes; why?"
"Does he know the commandments? ?''
"Tm AFRAID not very WE'LL" "Can he
say the sermon on the mount, and the
twenty-third psalm, and the golden
rule?" I'm very much afraid he can
not" said the lady, laughing at the
boys bravery. Doesn't he ride on his
pony on Sunday, instead of going to
= church," I'm afraid he does, but he
ought not, said the lady, blushing a
little.
Mother don't know 1 come hera, "
said the little rogue, "but 1 just thought
would come round and see what kind
of folks you were, and-and-I guess
mother would rather your boy wouldn't
come round our doors, because she
don't like little Susan to talk to bad
boys in the street. Good evening.
And the boy was gone.-Prooidence

ROMAN MosAIcs.-CardinA Antonelli
wrote the following letter to Archbishop
Wood, of Philadelphia, in reference to
the mosaics sent from Rome to the Cen
tennial Exhibition: "Availing myself
of the proposal kindly conveyed to me
through you, most reverend sir, that
the coming Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia should offer to public
view some object Of art wrought in the
only establishment that remains to the
Holy Father, I have caused some works
of the kind specified to be forwarded
without delay to your direction. They
consist of two Madonnas in mosaic
one of Raphael, and the other of Sasso-
ferrato; also, two vases Of flowers, like
wise in mosaic, prepared in the work.
shop Of the Vatican establishment, and
/ have been authorized by the Holy
Father to send them to the Exposition.
In addition to these there will be afSt.
Agnes, virgin and martyr, in tapestry,
which the artist, Signor Gentili, has
been able to execute in the Vatican,
owing to the generous patronage of His
Holiness. Monsignor C@sare Roncetti,
through whom 1 send this letter, will
furnish you with special instructions
concerning the aforementioned works
of art. Meanwhile I beg of you to re-
ceive my thanks, and also communicate
the same to the Chairman of the Finan-
cial Committee, Mr.. John Welsh, for
his kind attention to the present mat

Mr.. Stewards Old Employees.

The legacies regularly provided for in
A. 7. Stewards will have been paid, but
the sums of 81, 900 to each employee of
twenty years standing, and $500 to each
who have been in service for ten years,
which Mrs. Stewart is told by her hus.
bands letter to bestow, have not been
disbursed. The delay is caused by the
making of lists, a search of old account
books being necessary to ascertain the
claimants length of employment
There is considerable anxiety among
employees who were in Mr.. Stewards s
service a few months less than ten years,
as these expect to be included among
the benefciaries. So, too, men whose
records show gaps of absence are
troubled by doubts. Another expectant
class are those who served ten years or
more, but were not in Mr.. Stewards
employ at the time of his death. Mrs.
Stewart has received many applications
from those who do not feel assured of
their success. 1t is said that several
have sold their chances to spectators.
Judge Hilton went through the retail
store, thoroughly inspecting every de-
partment, and this led to the belief that
he will take practical part in the man
agement of the establishment, instead
of merely looking after the finances.
Mr.. Stewart superintended the retail
store personally, overlooking every de-
tail, and the Wholesale store was largely
left to the charge of his partner, Mr..
Libby. 1t is in this former place, there
fore, that Mr.. Stewart is most missed.
The Misses Morrow, to whom Mr.. Stew
art left an annuity of $4,000 and the
use of house, have long had charge
of the manufacturing done by the hun
dreds of women in the Tenth street
building, and are to continue in their
positions.
Workmen are busy in the Women's
Hotel, in Fourth avenue. The exterior
is being painted, and the finishing of
the interior progresses fast.

AN ANCIENT GoosE.-It is averred
that Tupfeld, Massachusetts, has a
goose 101 years old. She remembers
when the Declaration of Independence
was signed, and Missed the British
when they evacuated Boston. She dis

mournfully: "Dear mel I'm ashamed

SINGULAR CASE. "A man named
Thomas Shackleford, living near CAL
houn, KY, on Green river, during a fit
of intoxication, five or six years ago, lay
out one cold stormy night, and when he
was found next morning and rescued, it
was discovered that he was utterly una
bic to speak. The exposure had para
lyzed the organs of speech, and since
that time he has been unable to articu-
late, and was as dumb as if born to the
ate. Several nights ago, however, he
was suddenly awakened by a fire in his
house, and it was with the utmost diff
Guilty that himself and wife were able to
extricate themselves from the burning
pile. In the midst of the fearful ex-
citement the bonds that held his articu-
lating muscles were rended, and he in
an instant recovered the full power of
speech he once possessed. 1t is well at
tested, and the man now uses his tongue
as we'll as of yore, and there seems to
be no fear that the restoration is only
temporary.

Did,. Like to Tell Before Folks.

Didn's Like to Tell Before Folks.
A horny-handed phrenologist in a
West End grocery of Madison, Wis, the
other evening placed his hand on a
friends head and said:
"Bill, do you want to know your ca
pacity and preceptibleness? ?"
Yes, If I've got any," was the reply.
"Well, then" continued the phrenol-
ogist, 81 place the tip of my thumb
above the center of the ear, thus. Then
l extend my fingers around the posterior
portion, called in frenology oxy-pot (;
then join the tips of the fingers of both
hands and endeavor to bring the thumb
tips together, but the thumbs don't meet
by-great goodnessl
At this point the phrenologist looked
puzzled, and gazed up to the ceiling re-
hectively and gravely.
"Out with it-I am prepared to hear
the worst, said Bill.
But the phrenologist said he'd have
to tell him privately, and took him out
and up the street till near a saloon door,
when he paused and whispered in Bills
ear:
you've got a powerful brain, pow
erful intelleck, and orto be in Congress
stead of using hammer"
Bill dragged his friend into the saloon
and called for the "best in the house."
They drank, and Bill asked:
'Why didn't you tell me in the pres
ence of those men in the grocery ?'
Because" said the phrenologist,
" knew they'd call me darned fool p
BADLY TRAINED HUSBANDS. - How
many happy girls have paid dearly for
the early upbringing of their young
husbands, who, the first glamour of
love passed away, treat their wives as
they we're allowed to treat their sisters,
and as they saw their fathers treat their
mothers, carelessly, disrespectfully,
with total want of that considerate
tenderness which is worth all the pas
sionate love in the world. Thus,
though they may pass muster outside as
excellent husbands, never doing any
thing really bad, and possessing many
good and attractive qualities, yet con-
trive somehow quietly to break the
poor womanly heart, or harden it into
that passive acceptance of pain which is
more fatal to married happiness than
even temporary estrangement. Anger
itself is safer thing than stolid, hope
less indifference.
The best husbands I ever met came
out of family where the mother,
most heroic and self-denying woman,
laid down the absolute law, "Girls
first" Not in authority, but first to be
thought of as to protection and tender
ness. Consequently, the chivalrous care
which these lads were taught to show
their own sisters, naturally extended
itself to all women. They grew mp
true gentlemen-generous, unexacting,
courteous of speech, and kind of heart.
In them was the protecting strength of
manhood, which scorns to use its
strength except for protection; the
proud honesty of manhood, which pre-
fers being lovingly and openly resisted,
to being " twisted around ones finger"
as mean men are twisted, and mean
women will always be found ready to do
it; but which, / think, all honest men
and brave women would not merely
dislike, but utterly despise.-Sernaons
out Of Church.

A USEFUL ARTIoLE.-Ammonia per-
forms wonders in the hands of a skilled
housewife, if we may Judge of her tes-
timony: 81 knew ammonia, diluted in
water, could restore rusty silks and
clean coat collars, but when I got green
spot on the carpet, tried half dozen
things before 1 thought Of that, and
that was just what did the work efectu-
ally. put teaspoonful into about a
teacupful of hot water, and took cloth
and wet the spot thoroughly, Just rub
bing it slightly, and the ugly spot was
gone. For cleaning silver it is invalua-
bic; it makes things as bright as new
without any expenditure Of strength;
and for looking glasses and windows it
is best of all. One day when was
tired, and my dishcloths looked rather
gr1J, 1 turned few drops into the wa
ter and rubbed them out, and I shall be
sure to do so again some day. 1 advise
all housekeepers to invest dime in the
purchase of ammonia, and commence a
series of chemical experiments, and see
what they can accomplish with it."

COOKING MEAT BY Cold. - Those
who have handled piece of CONCEALED
mercury, which freezes at tempera-
ture of forty degrees below zero, will
know that the sensation is similar to
that produced by holding coal of fire
in the hand. In other words, intense
heat and intense cold bear striking re-
semblance to each other in their effects.
A Hungarian chemist, whose speciality
consists of finding out the best meth
DDS of preserving meats, has made
practical use of this analogy in the
action of heat and cold, and partially
cooks his meats by subjecting them to
the action of intense cold. Strange to
say, the meat subjected to this low tenn
perature is reduced to condition SINH
lar to that produced by heat. The
material must be perfectly fresh, and,
after being exposed to temperature of
thirty degrees below zero, must be care
fully sealed in tins. 1t is found when
opened to preserve a remarkable fresh
ness, and to be in a more satisfactory
condition for use than has hitherto
been attained by any method for the
same purpose. A large mandatory is
being built in Hungary for preparing
meat on this novel principle.

BABIES LEGs.-Bow-legs and knock
knees are among the common deformi-
ties of humanity; and wise mothers as
sert that the crookedness in either case
arises from the afflicted one having been
put upon his or her feet too early in
babyhood. But Massachusetts, physi-
clan who has watched for the true cause
thinks differently. He attributes the
aforementioned DISTORTION to q habit
some youngsters delight in of rubbing
the sole of one foot against that of the
other; some will go to sleep with their
soles pressed together. They appear to
enjoy the contact only when the feet are
naked; they do not attempt to make it
when they are socked or slippered. Sothe
remedy is obvious; keep the baby's sole
covered. Knock-knees the doctor as
cribes to different childish habit, that
of sleeping on one side, with one knee
tucked into the hollow behind the other.
He has found that where one leg has
bowed inward more than another, the
patient has always slept on one side, and
the upper member has always been
that which has besn most deformed.
Here the preventive is to pad the inside
of the knees so as to keep them apart,
and let the limbs grow freely their own
way. All of which is commended to
mothers who desire the physical up
rightness of their progeny.
MENTAL IMAGES OF EXECUTIONS
A New York reporter who has reported
many hangings, believes that they are
self-perpetuating, and he is himself
haunted by one Of them which he wit
messed. He says: "No matter where I
am, or in what agreeable society, with
any sudden darkening of the atmos-
phere, as of the sun passing behind
cloud, see two black figures swing
ing under black cross beam few feet
from my eyes. 1t is not mere recol-
lection of the thing, with its attendant
mental specter, but a vivid reproduc-
ton external to myself, such that the
gallows and the figures swinging to and
fro in the rain are actually before me
as they were that day."
