cheat accused OF cheating five times.
We heard four distinct bitter quarrels.
We heard beautiful young girl tell

An Unfortunate AIlusiOn.

Atterbury, the Celebrated Bishop OF
Rochester, who fioul ished la the time
OF Queen Anne, happened to remark
in the House OF Lords, while speak
ing on a certain bill then under dis
cussion, that he had rrophesied dur
ing the previous winter that the bill
would be again brought forward. and
he was now very sorry to fiud that he
had been true prophet. Lord Con-
ingsbury. who spoke after the Bishop,
in his usual abusive style, desired
the House to notice. that one OF the
Right Reverend prelates had set him.

part, he was at a loss what prophet to
liken him to, unless IL was the fam
Gus prophet Balaam, who was re-
proved by his own ass. Atterbury In
his reply calmly exposed the rude ct
tack, concluding as follows: "Since

Hon or the dear old mother. Time
has scattered the snowy fakes on her
brow, plowed deep burrows on her
cheeks, but Is she not sweet and
beautiful now? The lips are thin
and shrunken, but those are the lips
which have kissed many hot tear
from the childish cheeks, and they
are the sweetest lips in the world.
The eye Is dim, yet il glows with the
sweet radiance OF holy love which
can never fade. All, yes she is dear
old mother. The sands OF life are
nearly run out, but feeble as she is,
she will go further and reach down
lower for you than any other upon
earth. You cannot walk IN to a mid
night where she cannot see you: you
cannot enter a prison whose bars will
keep her out; you can never mount a
scaffoli to high for her to reach that
she may kiss and bless you in evil
dence OF her deathless love. When
the world shall despise and forsake
you. when it leaves you by the way
side to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather You in her feeble
arms and carry you home and tell
you all your virtues until you almost
forget that your soul is di-figured by
vices. Love her tenderly and cheer
her declining years with holy devo-
ton.

ScOldiug.

Scolding IL mostly habit. There
is not much meaning to it. 1t is Of
ten the result OF nervousness. and an
irritable condition of both mind and
body. A person is tired, or annoyed
at some trivial canse, and forthwith
commences finding fault with every
thing aud everybody In reach.
ScoldiDg is habit very easily
formed. It is astonishing how soon
one who INDUCES iD il at all becomes
addicted to it and confirmed in it. 1t
Is an unreasoning and unreasonable
habit. Persons who once get In the
way Of scolding always fluid some
thing to scold about. II there was
nothing else, they would fall scold-
ing at the mere absence Of anything
10 scoid at. 1t is an extremely disa-
greeable habit. The constant rum.
bling OF distant thunder, caterwaul-
ings, or q hand organ under ones
window, would be less unpleasant
The habit is contagious. Once in
trojuced into family. it is pretty
certain, In short time, to effect all
the members. III one of them begins
always fuding fault about something,
or nothing, the others are apt very
soon to take it up, and very unnec-
essary bedlam is created.
People 10 the country more readily
TALL into the habit OF scolding than
people in town. We suppose it Is be-
cause they have less to occupy and
divert their attention. Women con-
tract the habit more frequently than
mel. This may be because they live
more In the house, In a confined and
heated atmosphere, very trying to
the nervous system and the health In
general, and it may be, partly, that
their natures are more susceptible,
and their sensitiveness more easily
wounded. Women are sometimes
called divine. But We will say no
more on the subject. or some pretty
creature may feel inclined to scold
Us for what We say about scolding.

Keep Ont OF Debt.

Half the perplexity. annoyance and
trouble that men have in the worl Is
in consequence OF getting in debt. l.
seems to be natural for some people
to buy, and incur obligations without
measure, so long as they can avoid
paying ready cash. GIVE one OF this
sort chance to buy on credit, and
the questions of payment are matters
that be cares but little about. But
what a crop OF trouble springs up
from the seed OF debit How many
gray hairs il brings. and how often it
shoriens life, sometimes leading men
to commit suicide or murder. And
yet how easy ii is to- keep clear OF
this terrible monster. Every young
man should form fixed and unalter-
able determination, Def. re commenc-
ing his active business career, not to
incur one penny OF indebte dness, IN
der any circumstances. Never buy
anything without you have the money
to pay for it at once. Pay no atten-
ton to splendid opportunities. 4"
bargains, and the like. Such are
only traps set to catch victims. II
You see anything that you wauld like
to possess, look first AT your money
pile and make the answer depend on
that. Always pay as you go. II you
are short OF money, guage your de-
mands accordingly.

We do not know OF any more sug.
gestive or helpful message to send to
you, good friends, during these ener-
waiting days than little record Of one
OF the royal women Of tn. century.
Baroness Burdeet Ccutts, the woman
distinguished as possessing more
wealth than any other private wo-
men in the world, and woman hon.
ored throughout the world for her
wise use OF her fortune. We are In
debted to Sarah 1. Hale for an inter-
esting sketch, from which We con-
dense the following statement:
Miss Burdett Coutts is the young
est daughter OF Sir Francis Burdett
Bart, philanthropist and refurmer,
whose political career is we'll known.
Her mother Was Sophia, youngest
daughter OF Thomas Coutts. an opu-
lent banker. She was born April %.
1914. She was not educated an ex-
pectant heiress, because her grand
fathers mapriage with Miss Mellon,
the actress. and his gift. by will, OF
his whole fortune to this compare
lively young wife must have deprived
his children Of any expectancy from
the step mother, who subsequently
married the young Duke OF st. Al
bans. But the amiable, affectionate.
and interesting Angela Burdett was
ever "A favorite with her step-grand-
mother; and as the latter had no
children or near relations of her own,
she justly determined the fortune she
had received from her fret husband,
should return to his family, and WISE
ly selected the youthful Angela as
her heiress would assume the addi-
tional surname and arms Of Coutts,
which. by royal license, was permit
ted. In September, 1887, the subject
of our sketch took the style and sur
name, and came into possession OF
the fortune. she being then twenty
three years Of age"
Since Miss Burdett Coutts came
into possession OF her fortune she
has been indefstigable in her works
OF benevolence. In addition to her
varied requests to public and private
charities, she has built one church
that accommodates 1000 persons,
and endowed two schools where 400
children are educated.

Freezing Fish for Wiuter Use.

The wholesale dealers of Fulton
market have perfected plan where
by fish now obtainable only in the
summer season can be supplied In
the depth OF winter. The Fish Mar
ket Association have caused to be
constructed on Front street a large
freezing house. which In the heat OF
summer can keep the fieb at a tenn
perature below zero, thus entirely
checking decomposition. When the
fish market is overstocked the best
are selected for freezing, removed to
the freezing houses, cleaned, and
then placed in freezing pans covered
with ground ice and salt, thus ex
Guiding the air while the process Of
freezing is going on. The Front
street refrigerator Is divided into
three sections, each capable OF being
divided into SIX boxes, and the walls
are coated with zinc, a second or in
ner wall OF the same metal separating
each apartment-a space OF several
inches being left between the wall Of
each subdivision, with oblong Sits
permitting the air from those spaces
10 pass into the apartment. The
spaces are filed with ground ice and
rock self, 5000 pounds of the former
and fourteen bushels OF the latter be
ing required daily to keep the tenn
perature up to freezing point. 1t is
claimed that the fish can be frozen
when required, and that they will be
as good as fresh fish. In addition TO
the freezing house of the Fish Market
Association, there are la this city two
houses constructed by private enter
prise. and it Is calculated that before
September there will be more than
100 tons OF the finest Ash stored
therein.-N. y Herald.

Homework.

Oar girls must be taught and must
practice homework not necessarily
as rule that they should go out TO
service. but that they should be able
to manage in sensible, prudent and
pleasant way an establishment of
their own. To manage, that is TO
say, through knowing just what
should be done. and when and how.
1t Is not the cost OF a dinner which
renders Ii attractive and nourishing
because digestible: 1t is the proper
cooking OF 1t. Many u man spends
enough to live well. who rarely has IA
table tastefully set or adinner varied
and palatable.
There are good many other things
which go to making up good house
keeping. As every young woman ex-
poets some day to be mistress OF a
house, one would naturally expect on
her part some special preparation for
so important privilege and duty.
How many OF all our girls are put in
the way OF doing, IL need be, or OF
experimenting. IL that Is only what
Is required, the various duties which
their mothers, or at least their grand
mothers, know so well how to per-
form. And are not the fathers and
the mothers more to blame than the
children? Making all allowances for
the transition state in our social aud
domestic relations, are we living up
to our light In this matter OF educat-
ing our girls?

Chicken. Raising ~ SOurce OF Nation.
nj &ealtb.

One OF the secrets Of prosperity OF
the French people, and their ability
to bear even the heaviest burdens
without giving way under them, is
the extraordinary thoroughness with
which they cultivate their farms,
vineyards and orchards, and the
profits which they contrive to obtain
from the smallest and seemingly in
significant products. We find fresh
exempliflcation OF this in figures late
Unpublished in an Exchange, exhibit
ing the extent and profits OF chicken
raising There are In France about
10000, 900 hens, valued at $40 900 900.
One fifth are marketed yearly for the
table, bringing about 81 900, 900. The
annual production OF chickens is So
100000, worth in the city markets
s24 orc, 900, and 100000 are added
for the extra value Of capons and fat
ted hens. The production OF eggs is
estimated at 40.000.000. making the
total value OF eggs, chickens, capcns
and hens. annually sold, about $780,
000. 900, 1922 to every m,n, W oman.
and child in France. The power to
make much out OF little, AMI to live
frugally on small means, and with
limited resources to fall back on, is
the distinguishing trait OF the French
people, and one well worth emulating.

A remarkable incident happened

A remarkable incident happened In
New York few days ago, being
nothing So than the arrest OF a man
for kissing his wife. The couple were
walking In the evening In Central
Park, and as they seemed rather con-
fdential. a vigiiant policeman kept
bis eye on them. In due time he was
rewarded by seeing the lady's head
drop on the gentleman's shoulder,
while the latter bestowed a rousing
kiss on her upturned lips. At this
the guardian of the public peace
swooped down on them. In vain did
the husband swear that the lady was
his wife. and in vain did the latter
weep and protest. They we're respect
able In appearance, but in spite Of
everything they were taken to the
police station, where they we're actu
ally compelled to spend the night.
Next morning friends came to their
relief, aud they were identified and
discharged. The Judge sharply re-
buked the policeman, who when
asked why he supposed the couple to
be unmarried. replied that he never
saw a married couple kiss each other
10 the park before.
