WHOLE No. 754.

"H0w many of these men" inquired Mr.. Palmer
| as they returned to the Office "have ever been
trained to any useful trade or business 2"
| ''Not one in ten."
The spirited bays in their glittering harness were
champing their bits and tossing their heads i'm
patiently outside the high walls; and Walter ex-
perienced feeling of relief as he found himself
once in the pure sweet air and brgh sunshine
"How dreadful it must be to have to live in such
a place as that I" he said, as reaching eminence,
he gave o backward glance at the building, which
looked so grim and solitary in the distance.
at is the necessity that is dreadful, my SON.
Miserable as these men are, they are happier there
where they are obliged to be orderly and indus
trious, though only through the fear of punishment
than if they allowed to follow unrestrainedly,
the devices of their foolish and evil hearts,"
There was silence for some minutes. Then Mr..
Palmer said:
"You asked me question, yesterday, Walter,
and this is my answer, better answer than any
words can frame. The world calls me a rich man
and so I am. / am able to afford you many ad-
vantages, all the opportunity you ask for moral
and mental culture but / am not nor never shall
be- rich enough to afford to have you idle. Strange
as it may sound, l am too rich to affordit. have

living from week to week depends on its skillful
and prudent management. | have houses full of
tenants, whose health and comfort depends largely
upon whether their landlord is just and faithful
man. These and other interests may some day be
intrusted to you. Many father has learned to
his sorrow, that to have boy idle is something
that rich men cannot afford to do"
"I think will go to school Monday, father"
was Walters only response to this.

A WASH DAY SKETCH.

If there is any one thing more than another cali
culated to make a wrong impression on the mind
of the unsophisticated man, it is the picture of
woman using a patent washing machine. The
picture represents a woman dressed in silk, trim
med with lace, having full train, hustle and elbow
sleeves cut on the bias. There she stands, a sweet
smile Illuminating her countenance. Her hair is
banged and frizzed in the most approved fashion,
andperhaps jaunty lace cap surmounts her wealth
of golden, red, brown black or yellow hair, as the
case may be, or the Imagination portray. One
hand grasps the machine lightly and the other
is at liberty to arrange her hair or train. The
clothes are in the tub-the other clothes
and apparently being washed without the
slightest effort on the part of the woman. The
wall is covered with the latest and most approved
style of paper, with dado to match, and is hung
with numerous pictures. The floor is covered with
body Brussels carpet and several children in Sun
day go-to-meeting clothes are playing about, just
as though no washing were being done. All isas
serene and clean and tidy as the salesroom Of q
millinery shop. Not even the fainest curl of steam
arises from the tub. 1t is very pretty picture,
and perhaps the unsophisticated young man may
think that it correctly represents the manner in
which the average washing is done. But it is
delusion and snare---The artist who drew it
must have depended aonhis imagination wholly
He should have been q married man and should
have sketched the picture from life. He should
woman Of the house up to her elbows in the wash
tub. Look at her Her hair is wadded up in a
little ball on the northwest of her head and
several locks straggle down in several direc-
tions. She is clad in dingy old calico dress,
and pair of carpet slippers which not
mates. The scene is located in the back woodshed
or Summer Kitchen" so called. The thermome-
ter stands at ninety in the shade and in the wash
it is ninety and nine. The womans face, in
color, resembles boiled lobster. The perspiration
drips off her chin, and her fingers, which par
boiled, remind you of driedapples, beached. Two
of the children are making pancakes in their hats
out of water and coal ashes. The third one has
got stuck under the back gate in effort to crawl
through. Just at that moment small dog begins
making faces at him, and the youngster, unable
to wiggle way or the other, sets up yell which
would put to blush Commanche Indian. At
the same instant one of the pancake makers slaps
hatful of 'batter Oh the head of his sister, and
running to escape the maternal slipper, which he
conectures will be forthcoming falls headforemost
into tub of suds. The last mentioned youngsters
tune up and swell the chorus for the soloist under
the gate. But we drop the curtain with simply
the remark that at this juncture the sketcher of
washing machine pictures should get his work in.
woOdcut of this scene from every day life would
take the romance all out of the popular pictures of
washing machines.-Rome Sentinel.

An ENGINEER'S WANT OF FNERvE.-UnqueStlon-
ably the bravest men in America are those who
can stand on the foot t-boards of the locomotives
which draw the fast express trains. But few peo-
pie are aware of it, but the leading railroads,
where connection must be made if possible, only
engineers known to be brave and daring are given
engines on express trains, and as soon as an en-
gineer shows the least tmidity about running fast
he is taken from his engine and given one on
freight train to run. Two such cases have occur
red recently on the Indianapolis roads. Railroad
officers state that the first sign that an engineer is
becoming timid is that he will be five or ten min
utes late possibly half an hour, for some days or
nights in succession. He is then called to an ac-
count, and unless his reasons are convincing, an
other engineer is given his engine to run for few
times, and should he bring the train in promptly
on time the first named engineer gets freight
train engine to run until he braces up. 1t Is
stated, however, that after engineer allows his
timidity to get fair hold he seldom so far over
comes it as to have the bravery to step on an ex-
press train engine and run at the speed necessary
to make the time. Quite recently an engineer of
one of the roads running west from here got an
impression that some accident was to happen to
him. and one night when running a fast express,
he constantly lost time. At the first station where
the train stopped the conductor berated him for
running so slow. The engineer actually shed
tears, and owned that fears had overcome him,
and that he dare not run fast, and at his own re-
quest an engineer of freight train which stood
at this meeting point was given the train to run
through that night, the conductor telegraphing
the train MASTER asking that the request be grant
ed The timid engineer has since run freight
on the road Indianapolis Journal.
PRINcELY FARMERs-An Enormous Ranch Of
so, 900 Acres.-The largest wheat grower in Cali
fornia is DIR. II. J. Glenn, whose ranch in Colusa
county embraces $4,000 acres, or about ninety
four square miles of good land, nearly all arabic.
He has this year $4,000 acres in wheat, which, it
is estimated, will yield 100000 bushels, worth, at
s5 cents bushel, $765,0OO. And yet, with fail
ures of crops, which occur about two years out of
five, and the heavy interest he is paying on loans,
Dr. Glenn is, perhaps, not so well of as an lnde-
pendent farmer who owns only ten acres and is
out of debt.
Nearly all the princely farmers of Illinois of ten
years ago have come to bankruptcy, and it will be
q wonder if Dr. Glenn escapes that fate. Under
the new constitution the great ranch owners viii
have their uncultivated lands assessed at the same
value as the cultivated provision which will
force them to break up their estates and sell them
out in small farms.

ns-Some people take life hard, while others
take it easily. If man groans over his work and
grumbles until he is completely soured he actual
ly doubles the amount of labor necessary to finish
his task. If, on the other hand, he laughs at TOLL
the toll itself seems to wear smile, and helps to
finish itself up by the middle of the afternoon
There are too many men whose philosophy of life
is illustrated by the following: He was at work
on huge pile of cord wood The saw was dull,
and he tugged and fretted and fumed, and at last
broke out with series of expletives big enough
to fatally injure an ordinary mouth. A CHEEKY
fellow passed BY and, taking in the situation at
glance said by way of friendly advice, My friend,
why don't you sharpen your saw" The poor,
oppressed victim of circumstances looked at him
savagely for an instant, and then replied 'Look
here, mister; don't you think I've work enough to
do saving this pile without stopping to sharpen
saws ?" and then kept on, but with an added grOwl.

A DRIVING HORsE.-A driving horse is not as
expensive on the farm as some seem to think,
when we consider the and strain it takes from
the regular farm horses. On all large farms, on
small ones where there is much driving to do, a
good driving horse is real necessity. Although
it is not generally known yetit is fact that half
days drive, even at an ordinary gait, is more Sc
we're on farm work horse than two days work on
the farm. The reason for this is apparent when
we take into consideration the fact that horses's
muscles become set to particular kind of work
and the strain is unusual and severe when put to
other purposes than the regular one. 1t is about
as hard for a family driving horse-we mean
good stepping one-to be put to farm work, such
as plowing narrowing, and cultivating, as it is to
take plow horse and put him to road service
Keep the farm horses on the farm where they be-
long and if you live far from the post-ofee, store
or church keep driving horse, and you will make
by it in the increased good looks and longevity of
your farm animals. Many farmer stays away
from church on Sunday because his horses have
been hard at work all week and should rest on
that day. Social intercourse with neighbors is
also put off until slack time with the horses, on
the same account, and for want of good driving
horse which the farmer raise for himself, many
pleasures are given up.

to buy a suit of clothing in which to bury dead

it mighty comfortable"

RUNAWAY MARRIAGES.-The marriage laws in
Virginia are very strict, full account of the age,
parents names. occupations and residence being
required from both parties before license is
granted. clergyman who marries minors with
out the parents consent is liable to imprisonment
and a fine of 500, 600. 1t is probably owing to
these safeguards about marriage that divorces are
so rare in Virginia.
Before the war village called Hard Scrabble,
just over the Pennsylvania line, was sort of
Gretna Green, and quondam shoemaker, who
had been chosen justice of the peace, ofciated as
God of love to join the flying lover who hired him
to escape the law. When they were very young,
however the old man often reasoned with them
like a father, and more than once sent them home
to learn wisdom with age. On one occasion when
the girl was a mere child Quimby the shoemaker,
laid down his pipe, and fixed his eyes on her
blushing, trembling face. "Marry your" taking
up two bits of thread, eyes / can marry you as
quickly as | can tie this knot. But"-and the old
man rose solemnly-''only Gods hand can cut the
knot assunder" For the first time, perhaps, the
awful import of her act flashed upon the girl. She
burst into tears, and sobbed out 81 want my
mother !" ''I'll take you to her, my child and
as for you, young man, go about your business"
They were never married, and to the end of her
life the woman had reason to thank the old man
for his interference. The papers have been filed
lately with the runaway matches of two young
girls, one flying from Vassar College, the other
running away with a servant. Girls who have
never probably chosen a dress for themselves, in
one rash moment fix inexorably the fate of their
future lives. The only argument they hear in the
matter is the good looks of young fellow of whom
they know really nothing. Girls so immature and
unreasoning ought not to be trusted to choose
their every day companions. Parents are to
blame if these companions lead them into lifelong
misery.-The Youths Companion.

that city-the footings give the fol-
lowing figures: For Governor
Perkins, 67,973; Glenn, 1852;

State officers may be illustrated by
giving the vote on Secretary Of
State, as follows: Burns, GO, 673;
Tiunin, 3lS27; Smith, Al 256;
Crane, 1858. The New C0nstitu-
tion psrty's strength amounted to
about 20, 900 votes, as shown by the

that ticket. Judge Terry ran ahead
of his ticket, receiving 70. 944 votes.
AS to the result on the Ju-
dlcial ticket, the entire Working

ception of Buck. Our figures make
Myrick the successful Republican,
but 1t must be remembered that
the figures used from San Francis
co are unofficial. Discrepancies
exist between the figures published
by the different papers, and If those
published by the Chronicle shall
prove more nearly correct, Belcher
will he the successful candidate.
