speech. But the interview had not
gone far when it was interrupted by
an appearance that made Shakers of
us all.
The schoolmarm stood in the door
way. Mother Ann! looked you so
in the sweetness of your spring time,
when, perchance, you stood in the
porch of the Manchester cottage
among the English roses? Perhaps
not. I think not, then, SO unworthy
fair. The schoolmarm wore white
cap, white apron over her short
grey skirt, and lavender silk ker-
chief was crossed over her breast.
The formality Of this neat simplicity
caught grace from the purity Of
her face. The maid stood in the
doorway with one small hand raised
on the casing she spoke to the chill
dren, she greeted us in voice of
perfectly moduiated sweetness, and
regarded us with her trustful eyes,

A GREAT INvENToR.-Sir Henry Besse-
mer has had an experience that few in
ventors are allowed to have in living to
to see the underworld results of his in
vention, and to realize the economy in
resources which have been made possible
by its use. The sewing machine and the
electric telegraph have been labor saving
in their effect to an enormous extent, but
with these it would have been difficult
for their originators when alive to esti-
innate the monetary value to mankind of
the discoveries. With the making of
steel, the case, however, is different, for
the saving can be figured down to q
nicely on every ton made, and the annual
product of the various civilized coun-
tries is pretty accurately known. From
data thus collected it is estimated that in
labor and material the world is gamer
to the amount of $100, 900 600 year by
using the Bessemer process of convert
ing ore into steel. Or, considered in
another way, the advantage of a low
priced enduring material, such as Besse-
mer steel, when compared with iron, has
been made matter of calculation as far
as railroad tracks are concerned, with
the following astonishing results: Price
Williams, who is an expert in matters OF
this kind, has stated that by substituting
steel for iron a saving in expenditure
will be made during the life of one set OF
steel rails on all the existing lines in
Great Britain of not less than $3.50 900,
| 900. In view of these facts, if Sir Henry
has obtained in royalties the sum of IS,
$50, 900, most persons will concede he has
got no more than he deserves.

The WOMEN NFoLKs.-Sometimes we feel
inclined to pick flaws in the women folks,
but on second thoughts are made to won
der that they are SO good as we find them.
Supposing customs were reversed, and
instead of courting the girls, the girls
were to court US? Supposing poor crea-
ture in bows and ribbons and poetical
drapery and stephenotis should come to
see you two or three times week, and
should discourse by the hour on the soul
light of your eye, the Jove-like grandeur
of your brow, the inefable glory of your
mustache, etc., etc., don't you think you
would develop into jacka-
napes in less than six months-even at
the start? Fact is, we men think nothing
of telling girl over and over again how
much prettier and sweeter and better
every way she is than all her sisters and
it is not unnatural that she should be
goose enough to believe it all the time.
Who doesn't like to hear his own praises
sung? But after marriage these sugar.
coated lies return to plague the man that
compounded them. He has taught his
wife to believe that he can see nothing
good in her sex outside of herself And
she never forgets her lesson, as many a
married wife could testify. But don't
blame her. friend; she is only showing
her abiding faith in yourl love vows. The
trouble abides in you. You have ceased
lying to her.-Boston Transcript.

ENCOURAGING HEALTHY READING FOR
BOYS The Manchester Guardiqn gives
the following account of an interesting ex-
pertinent which has been carried on for
about fourteen months at one of the
branch free libraries in Manchester, which
the result has been SO satisfactory as to
warrant an extension of the system at an
early date: At the Ancoats Library it
was decided to encourage the attendance
of juvenile readers by the provision of q
separate room, containing judicious Sc
lection of books of that class in which all
boys take delight. They are isolated
from the general reader in order to pre-
vent any possibility of annoyance to
adults from juvenile exuberance. Special
provision was made for their wants, and
friendly advice afforded as to the choice
of books. The selection made by the
committee included many books of popular
science, travels, biography and history,
while fiction of the healthy type supplied
by the works of Ballantyne and Kingston
was also provided. At the Ancoats
Library the average attendance during
past winter has been about $50 each
evening. At the Charlton Library the
attendance has been much higher,av
ing about 230 on each evening, and rising
to about 260 on Sunday evenings. 1t is
curious fact that the amount of fiction
read by these juveniles is considerably
below the average of libraries of all
classes, not amounting to much more
than "a per cent. Another popularity
is, that while natural history and physics
are found more attractive than even his
tory and physics and found more attrac-
tive than even history and biography,
"our boys" decline to touch the "dismal
science" at all. This,perhaps arises from
the difficulty of providing popular litera-
'ture of political economy, though it might
be supposed that Miss Martineau's capi-
tai stories might have been used to diff
fuse a knowledge of the laws of social
economy still greatly needed. Illustrated
works take precedence in point of de-
mand, and then follows the narratives of
the fairy world, including the varied
Adventures of Alice in Wonderland" !"
Care has, of course, been taken to exclude
all books of a doubtful tendency. and to
provide those that are bright and healthy
in tone. The writings of the lady known
in literature as "Hesba Stretton' are ex-
ceedingly popular, and perhaps the most
popular of them is "The Wonderful Life, !"
a biography of the Founder of Chris
tianity.

A party of Irishmen went to st. Louis
clothing store to buy a suit of clothing in
which to bury dead comrade. All vari-

party held up light thin suit, saying,
"Begorra, let's take this, b'ys; it's thin

A man having fallen into slough, his
friend called loudly to another for assist
