HOW TO TREAT UNEXPECTED GUESTS.

When one of fathers business friends
drives in the yard at about half past eleven.
the goodWife knows he will surely stay to
dinner. Father is a great storyteller, and
he likes to get hold of good auditor. How
aptly comes a frown of dismay and displeas-
ure on the smooth, fair face of his helpmeet.
What can be done! Work is going on &c
cording to the days plan in the kitchen; the
dinner was arranged for none but the family;
the children are coming home from school
and making clatter all is hustle and con-
fusion. She feels that the best dishes must
be used, and something extra cooked for the
inopportune guest. Now, good woman,
don't do it. Your fine dinner, with it's at
tendant irritation and ''upsetting," will taste
no better than what you had prepared.
Make no difference in your plans, but seat
your visitor with a smile and easy greeting
st your hospitable board and he will feel
more comfortable and happy than though
you gave him banquet. You save temper
ard trouble, and gain the enjoyment of Civ
ing your friend real cosy time. A sensi-
BILE person knows that farmers do not have
six courses upon their table daily, and the
wholesome, hearty fare, with good nature
and hospitable cordiality, will be tinctured
with sweet, domestic sense, that Is inc vi
tably lost in grand dinners. Smiles and neat
ness are saucefor homely meals.-Golden
Rule.

MARRIAGE AMONG THE ROMANS.

The Romans not only rewarded those
who married, but decreed penalties against
men who remained in the state of celibacy.
Fines We're first levied upon unmarried men
about the year of Rome $50; and when pc
cuniary forfeitures failed to insure their obe-
dience to these connllbial edicts, their con-
tumacious neglect of the fair sex was pun
ished by degradations from their tribe. Celib-
acy continued, however, to gain ground in
Rome; and to counteract its effects, we find
that, in the year 513 from the foundation of
the city, the censors had recourse to the
extraordinary measure of obliging all the
young unmarried men to pledge themselves
on oath to marry within certain time.
In Babylon an auction of unmarried ladies
used to take place annually. The virgins of
marrageable ages, II every district, We're
assembled Oh certain day of every year.
The most beautiful was first put up, and the
man who bid the largest sum of money gained
possession of her. The second in personal
appearance followed; and the purchasers
gratified themselves with handsome wives
according to the depth of their purses
When all the beautiful virgins We're sold
the crier ordered the most deformed to stand
up; and after he had openly demanded
who would marry her with a small sum, she
was at length adjudged to the man who
would be satisfied with the least; and in
this manner. the money arising from the
sale of the handsome women served as a
portion to those who We're either Of disa-
greeable looks, or that had any other fault
or imperfection.

EXPLORATIONS IN PALESTINE.

The Identification of ancient places do
not seem to be remarkably successful. The
descriptions and travel notes are better. The
the plains of Judah and off towards the an
cient country of the Philistines. Lieutenant
Conder in his report insists upon the g can
on that the order of a list of places men
toned in Joshua is a pretty sure indication
of their relative situation. M. Clermont-
Ganneau Identifies the site of Adullam with
'Aid-el-mia SO clearly that Lieutenant Con-
der thinks the identified site should be ac-
cepted. Ganneau himself, however, thinks
there is a high resemblance to the identifi-
cation; from that to certainty, such as we
have in Gezer, is q long step. Then VEN
cradle Dr. Titus Tobles contributes to the
last statement of the fund several important
letters concerning ancient Jewish graves, of
which we recognize four sorts: l, the COM
mon grave, sunk in the floor; 2, the sliding
or oven grave, or rectangular sloping place
cut in the wall, extending six feet horizon
tally and wide and high enough to allow a
corpse to be pushed in; 3, the shelf or bench
grave, being a shelf or niche upon which
the coffin (or the corpsel was laid; and 4,
the trough grave, which was the Shelf grave.
with q trough cut into it, into which trough
the corpse was laid. Captain Warren con-
tributes to the statement few suggestions
of possible identifications in Philistia. Lib

CARE OF THE FEET.-Concerning this sub
ject the Scientific Americam very truly says:
Many are careless in the keeping of the foot.
If they wash them once week they arc
doing well. They do not consider that the
largest pores are located in the bottom of
the feet, and that the most offensive matter
is discharged through these pores. They
wear stockings from the beginning to the
end of the week without change, which be-
come perfectly saturated with offensive mat
ter. Ill health is generated by such treat
ment of the feet The pores are not only
repellants but absorbents, and fetid matter,
to a greater or less extent, is taken back
into the system. The feet should be washed
every day with pure water only, as well as
the armpits, from which an offensive odor
is also emitted, unless daily ablution is prac-
ticed. Stockings should not be worn more
than day or two at time. They may be
worn one day, and then aired and summed
and worn another day if necessary.

NO SECRETS.

The moment Il girl has secret from her
mother, or has received letter she dare not
let her mother read. or has friend of whom
her mother does not know, she is in danger.
A secret is not good thing for a girl to
have. The fewer secrets that lie in the
hearts of women at any age, the better. 1t
is almost test of purity. She who has
none of her own is best and happiest.
In girlhood, hide nothing from yourmoth-
er; do nothing that, if discovered by your
father, would make you blush. Have no
mysteries whatever. Tell those who are
about you where you 90 and what you do.
Those who have the right to know, mean,
of course.
A little secretiveness has set many scan
dal afloat; and much asis said about women
who tell too much, they are much better off
than women who tell too little. A man
may be reticent and lie under no suspeclon
not SO a woman.
The girl who frankly says to her mother:
" I have been here. met so and so. Such
and such remarks were made, and this or
that was done,'; will be certain Of receiving
good advice and sympathy. If all was right,
no fault will be found. If the mother knows
out of her great experience that something
was improper or unsuitable, she will, if she
is good mother, kindly advise against it's
repetition.
It is when mothers discover that their girls
are hiding things from them that they re-
| buke or scold Innocent faults are always
pardoned by a kind parent.
| You may not know, girls, just what is
right, just what is wrong, yet. You can't
be blamed for making little mistakes but
you will never do anything wrong if from
the first you have no secrets from your
mother.-N. Y. L.

THE no M T CIR CL T..
DREAMS.
BY HELEN BROWNE.

When o FER our heart-strings softly sweep
The notes of some dear name
Whose music like Il vesper bell,
Charms more than wealth or fame;
How sweet, in dreams, to fly away
From scenes of din and strife,
And spend alone with loved friend
An hour of calmest life.
1t nerves our fainting spirits up,
When thus we sink to rest
And mystic hands our souls convey,
To those we love the best;
1t gives the heart fresh strength and will,
This union pure and sweet
And proves cordial for the gaze
That meets lis on the street.
But flecter far than can be told
Haste these sweet hours away;
Even swiftcr than the weavers reed,
Or than the wild birds lay;
Even than the rain, that falls
Upon the thirsty sand,
Or than the winds that scud by night
Across the sleeping land
oh! is it true, as good men say
A spirit world on high,
Awaits the sons of men who live
BY faith in God, and die?
And shall we there be ever near
The loved ones of our heart
Then speed your way, oh, Time, and Death
Play quick, play well your part!

NO TIME TO READ.

Not long ago a farmers son stated IN
the writer's hearing that he hardly knew
how to pass his time during the g Idle sea-
son of the year," as he called the winter
months. He did not possess a taste for
books and positively declared that he had
no time to read-eXcept a single weekly
paper With no love for literature, no
wonder that he did not know what to do
with the tagging hours. Yet, such con-
fession, the poet Cowley thinks would have
been ill-timed by Mathuselah, in the 969th
year of his life. Certainly we short-lived
moderns have no reason to complain of sur
plus days, and ought not to have an hour
hang heavily once q year. With desire
for knowledge, and the material for its ac-
cumulation always at hand, dullness can
never attach itself to time. The custom of
having book i'll ones pocket or at hand
was strongly recommended by DR.. johnson,
and he said that much of his knowledge
was thus obtained. In imitation of Beetho-
ven. who walked the streets of Vienna with
tablet in hand, and Pliney, who carried a
memorandum book while hunting, that he
might note down his thoughts, if he had
any worth treasuring, with a book in hand,
or within his reach, the merest mechanic or
farmers boy may CLEAN many facts worth
treasuring as long as memory endures.
No time to read Why, the most active
business men can read newspapers half. an
hour every day. and digest twenty or thirty
duodecimos every year. 1t requires no
great industry to read an octave once q
month most of it while waiting tor meals.
1t has been done many time. A studious
man, finding he was called to dinner every
day few moments before it was ready,
employed those odd moments in writing a
work which eventually swelled into several
volumes.
VIM. Clifford, the critic; VIM. Carey, the
missionary; Samuel Drew, the theologian ;
and Roger Sherman, the stateman, all shoe
makers in early lite, found time to read
while working OH the bench. John Kitto,
while boy, was an apprentice at the same
trade, and some of the material for his bib
lical works was completed while working at
shoes fourteen or fifteen hours day! Rob-
ert Nicoll. the Scotch poet, herding cattle
IN very early DoyhOOu, used TO read MS
book while on the road to and from his
work. Though but seven or eight years
old. he had learned to drive his studies as
well as the cattle.
The writer once knewa lad who never
went to mill without taking book wortl
reading. He went with an OK cart, anc
read not only while the grist was being
ground but while the team was on the road
He took his newspaper into the hay field
and read in the spare moments while his co
laborers were wiping off sweat under shad
tree, drinking cool water with ginger an,
molasses in it, and talking nonsense.

INCIDENT IN A SINGERS LIFE.


Miss Emma Abbott, whose splendid sing
ing is now charming the public of London,
was poor girl Of Peoria, Ill. Her brave
struggles for herself, until her beautiful
voice was appreciated In New York, and
finally the church in whose choir she sung
sent her to Europe with money to perfect
her musical education, make Il most inter
esting story. The following is one speci-
men incident of her early days of effort.
She found herself at one time in Rock Is
land, a victim of disappointment, and with
only twenty cents in money.
''What shall do?'' she said to herself.
almost disheartened. Then new thought
once taught music in a family OF the name
of Deere, who lived over the Mississippi
river in Moline. ''Mr. Deere will surely
help me-" she said,' sand l will get up a
concert there.''
Ten cents took Emma to Moline, but Mr.
Deere was absent. Mrs. Deere, crotchety-
faced old woman, was very cross. She look
ed insinuatingly at Emma, and said,-
Il don't know what a pretty young wo-
man like you wants of my husband. Iguess
he haint got no time to fool away getting up
concerts y
Just then Miss Abbott spied the piano, and
asked if she might play something. In a
moment she was warbling sweet song.
The old woman listened, then dropped her
dishes, wiped her hands on her apron, and
came and looked over her glasses in aston
ishment. Just then Mr.. Deere entered.
s. BY Jove, Matilda, that's nice singin' ="
he exclaimed. "Who's doin' it:''
my name is Emma-Emma Abbott, sir.
Father used to teach 81
9 Thunder, yes! remember Mr. Abbott !;
but what are you doin' here? What -
"Well, pa and ma are very poor now, and
I've come here to see if you'd help me get
up a concert"
| "Help you? Why, of course Twill. You
shall have our church. You're brave girl,
and We'll get you up a big house,
And she did have it. She got her bills
printed, went around personally and an
nounced the concert in the schools, and the
house was crowded.
The next night Miss Abbott sang again,
and at the end Of a week, she returned to
Peoria with sixty dollars in cash. When
she showed her money, her astonished moth
er held up her hands, and, with JOY and
sadnessi in strange combination, exclaimed, -
20, Emma, | hope you haven't been rob
bing somebody.''
