ton of privilege in connection with the ad-
vertisement recommending certain hymnal,
said he was decidedly in favor of the book
published by the Presbyterian board of publi-
cation, and, if he had his way, would
have the general assembly prescribe

couragingly Of the prospects of growing
the coffee plant in Mexico. He is re-
ported as saying that there is a planta-
tion of $4,000 trees some 70 miles from
Tampico which has yielded $4,000 per
annum over the cost of production during
the last several years, under the superin-
tendence of Yankee, of course. Trees
begin bearing at or about four years OF
age, and may be planted so thickly that
five hundred will occupy each acre OF
land. A single plant ought to yield ten
pounds of the berry, or an average OF $500
per acre, which makes plantation, when
established, largely remunerative. The
cohee-plant requires a climate exactly
suited to it, but is quite hardy when the
soil and temperature are just right,
plantation lasting from fifty to seventy
five years. We see no reason why
Southern Florida and California should
not be quite as well adapted to thu
growth of the plant as Mexico or Brazil
and we look forward to the time whei
our own country shall produce part, a
least, of her own coffee, as ultimately i
also must tea, that our citizens partak
each year in such increasing quantities

A Sensible Way Of Raising Children.

A venerable lady now living in New
York, who has had ten children, all born
and reared in cities, and raised nine OF
them, all living at the present moment,
having reached the adult age, never
allowed any of them as children to eat
ANYTHING between meals except dry bread,
though she was wealthy and could just as
easily have pampered every whim. Her
constant reply was, when any OF them de-
INJURED, My dear, you are not hungry ii
YOU cannot eat bread" Now, it is very
certain that her children did not inherit
remarkably robust constitutions; and un-
der the ordinary pamperng OF mothers, II
is fair to suppose that many OF them
would have died or become puny mer
and women When a child knows by eX
perience that he can have nothing bu
bread between meals, he will not ask fol
il unless he really needs it, and then h'
will not take enough to destroy his keen
er appetite for the good things at the table
while if he is allowed fruits and pastry, a
so many children are, ne will seldom
come to his meals with fine relish 70
food, and taking it without that relish, !
fails to be rapidly assimiated, if indeed
does not enteeble or derange the diges
tive function.

To pay a compliment is to tell the truth,
and to tell it as though yon meant it. And
the only way to do that is to mean it. If
a girl is pretty or accomplished; if she
PLAYS well, or sings well, or dances well,
or talks well; if, in word she pleases,
why in the name of common sense, should
not she be told OF it? Don't blurt it out
before everybody. That will only serve
to make her feel uncomfortable and make
YOU appear ridiculous. Say it quietly
when opportunity offers, but say it strong
ly Convey the idea distinctly and fully,
SO that there may be no mistake about it.
But don't say it "otficially." Formally is
about the coolest thing known.
More than one maiden has been made
happy-say for half an hourly mans

eyed beauty once said to gentleman: 81

MARK THIS, COY.

"Did you ever know man who grew
rich by fraud, continue successful through
life, and leave fortune at death?"
This qustion was put to gentleman
who had been in business forty years.
After rejecting awhile he replied:
"Not one. have seen many men be-
come rich as If by magic, and win golden
opinions, when some little thing led TO an
exposure of their fraud they have fallen
into disgrace and ruin. Arson, perjury,
murder and suicide are common crimes
with those who make haste to be rich, re-
gardless of the means"
Bows, stick pin here, You will soon
be men, and begin to act with those who
make money. Write this good mans tes-
timony in your mind, and with it put this
word of God: ale that hasteneth to be
rich hath an evil eye, and considereth moi
that poverty shall come upon him."-Prov
xXXvTr, -.
Let these words lead you to resolve te
make haste slowly, when you go into bust
ness, in the matter Of making money.

Tho Wife's Secret.
(Alliarce.)

81 will tell you the secret of our happy
married life," said a gentleman of three
score and ten. 1--WE have been married for
forty years; my bride was the belle of
New York when ] married her, and
though loved her for herself, still love-
ly flower is all the 10, lier poised in an ex-
quisite vase, My wife knew this, and, true
to her genuine refinement, has never, in
all these 40 years, appeared at the table or
allowed me to see her less carefully dress'd
than during the days of our honeymoon.
Some might call this foolish vanity; call
it real womanliness. presume should
not have ceased to love her had she fol-
lowed the example of many others, and,
considering the everyday life of home
necessarily devoid OF beauty .llowed her
self to be careless Of such small measures
as dressing for her husbands eye; but love
is increased when we are proud of the OBJ
iect loved, and to day | am more proud of
my beautiful wife with her silvery hair
and gentle face, than Of the bride whose
loveliness was the theme of every tongue
ANY young lady can win lover how few
can keep them such after years OF married
life"
In all the little courtesies of life, in all
that makes one attractive and charming
in thoughtfulness of others and forgetiul
ness of self every house should be begun
and continued Men should be more care
full to sympathize with and protect the
wife than the bride-more willing to pick
up her scissors, hand her the paper or car
ry her packages than if she were a young
lady; and as no young woman would tol
moment think of controlling the engage
mcnts and movements of a young gentle
man, neither should she do SO when he il
her husband If by making herself brigh
and attractive she fails 10 hold him, com
pulsion will only drive him farther from

the friendship of anyone by demanding ii
do not believe it possible to lose it b,

The electric light will never succeed.
At least not unless Mr.. Edison will con-
centrate his gigantic intellect upon anoth-
er and necessarily supplemental invention.
1t has been found that the fair female who
goes out from her boudoir as lovely as a
May dream fades into tear-inspiring
spectacle when exposed to the glare Of the
electric light. Why this is may be gently
whispered, The cosmetics that breathe
the bloom Of beauty upon the cheek that
is seen in the CLEAN Of the gas are worse
than valueless when the illumination is
supplied by the new patent apparatus
This certainly settles the question. No
sensible woman will permit the success oi
the projected innovation unless the neces
sary substitute is supplied for the now
useless beautifiers Of another day, and tht
gas companies may breathe securely unit
Mr.. Edison has mastered this new ans
most important problem.

Of the $4o,OoO,OoO of these certificates
issued by the Secretary of the Treasury
upwards of s35, 900, 900 have been already
returned to the Treasury for conversion
into four per cent bonds, and they arc
still coming in at the rate OF some S2o'
600 per day generally in lots that average
as much as $4,000, showing that all the
tedious pains-taking of the Secretary ol

that working people are not fools, an'

To ladies travelling alone the following
suggestions may be of use: On entering
car, if the vacant seats do not suit you
exactly, select the best one you can find
occupied by some gentleman temporarily
absent. Push his valise into the aisle or
make footstool of it. Sit down on his
overcoat or pitch it into neighboring
seat Should he return and attempt to re-
move his valise or overcoat, irown or look
cross-eyed at him; don't look pleasant
he might misconstruc it. He will, of
course, smile complacently, be glad he has
been able to contribute 10 your comfort
if not intimidated, will perhaps venture to
ask if there is nothing else he can dc ior
you. Only in this way will you be able
to secure all the rights to which your sex
entities YOU. Of course no gentleman
would ever think of offering to exchange
seats with you if his were more comfort
able OF of relieving you Of any O. the in
conveniences by which you might be sur
rounded.

THE purifying effects of such rain as
blessed the city and environs on last
Sunday and Monday is SO apparent in
the sweetness of the atmosphere, the
cleanliness of the streets and the bright
ness of the sunshine that shimmers upon
the hills that the people who feel and
enjoy these benefits can scarcely feel
sufficiently thankful for the blessed boom
its advantages to the public health must
be incalculable as well, and the authori
ties of the city, who have been laborine
zealously with broom and scraper to put
the streets in trim for the coming Expo
sition, ought to hold a jubilee over the
aid that Nature has kindly rendered
them in a time of need.

foot which she has, however, but rather
the foot which Detroit, in the depth of

lis. 1t appears that through some defec-
tion in the sidewalk, Miss Smith fell and
70 injured her foot that amputation be-
came necessary, and she sued the city for
e4,6OO for the loss thus sustained. To
sverybody's surprise, and her own too,
no doubt she recovered the amount, and
the corporation has barely recovered from
the shock than she kicks it again with
the same amputated foot. This time she
brings suit for $40, 900, not for persona
damages, as in the first suit, but for los
of time and incapacity to pursue hel
ayocation and make living.
