She Knew the Feet.

A man who was journeying down
the Mississippi with his wife thought
he would enjoy the luxury of shaw
ing and shampooing. While this
was going on he concluded to sur.
prise his wife, and at his request,
hair, eyebrows and whiskers were
changed from fiery red to raven
blackness. He he FASTENED to the
stateroom, but was met at the door
by his spouse, outraged by the intru-
sion OF a stranger as she supposed,
and admlttance refused. He called
himself her husband; she said he was
an imposter. He attempted to ex-
plain; it was useless. A crowd gath.

general. At last in his perplexity

John" she said, 81 know them feet

Love for Children.

Those who love children are not
those who merely love the pleasure
they can get from children; those love,
not the children, but that pleasure,
then farewell to the children. Those
who really love children loveall about
them-the troubling and the teasing
that they make, ths washing and
wiping and worrying; they are not
disguised with their care, they are
not annoyed with their questioning;
they are not made nervous by their
bawling; they take them in their en-
tirety. 1t never occurs to them to
say that these things are disagreed

his remarkable feats: He can, in an
average Of five seconds, tell the day of
the week upon which any particular
date in any year Of this century fell.
He never forgets date. Among 9th.
err things he can tell instantly when

he died. He can tell where he him.
self was and what doing on any spec
ified day Of the last two years. He
knows all about the Bible, even to
the number of verses in each chapter
ofseveral ofthe books; he can give the
substance ofany verse in any chap
ter of any book; tell just where any
event is described and where any
scripture name is mentioned. Hc is
equallyabhome with the hymn books,
being able to tell on what page any
hymn in the Moody and Sankey and
other collections is to be found. One
evening somebody told him that
twice two was four and thatwas null
tiplication. He did not know it be-
fore, but the next morning at the
breakfast table he repeated the whole
table. Fractions and the addition,
multiplication and division of them
are his pastime, and the big diction-

Kitchen Help.


The everlasting discussion Of the
scrvant.girl question has finally led
to some suggestions in a Chicago pa
per that ought not to be cast aside
hastily. II is that intelligent Amer
lean girls shall undertake to supply
the great want felt in all our kitch-
ems for conscientious labor. Thous-
ands Of girlsare under the necessity
Of maintaining themselves, and the
difficulty is to know what to do
Few Of them can make aliying with
the pen, and very few Of that few
are sufficiently studiousa and thorough
to make their work worth anything.
There are more milliners, dressmak-
ers, shop-girls and teachers already
than can be crowded into the places,
and crowds Of anxious, half.starying
women are looking about in every
direction for something to do that
will keep them afloat. Very few of
them ever think of going into a
q kitchen, and yet the work there is
not harder than much they are will
ing to undertake for considerably
less pay. No gill who will consent
to do this thoroughly womanly work
and apply to it little intelligence
need ever have any fears about her
maintenance. 1t offers her home,
which in most instances to an intel.
ligent and faithful girl will be found
TO be all that the name implies, and
she will have money income from
which she can save great deal more
than out Of the average wages Of
shop-girls or ss-makcrs. 1t will
be very natural forsome of the young
women who want to be milliners to
stick up their noses at the very idea
Of going into the kitchen, and these
ought by all means to keep out of
the kitchen. They would be less
useful there than the kind of people
who now abound in confusion and
Ignorance among greasy pots and
pans. 1t is not essential that there
should be any more confusion in that
important department Of the domes-
tic establishment. What is needed
is a little intelligence to give system
and dignity to labor to do it with
grace and render it much easier
the for all concerned than is now
case. If girls with any sort of
common sense, who are now seeking
something to do, would consent to
undertake this necessary reform Of
the kitchen, they could have their
own way and would soon make it
possible for the average woman to
keep house without perpetual worry.
People are willing to pay almost any
price for peace in their homes, for
work well done, but it is impossible
to become rcconciled> to the payment
of high wages-and they are as high
now as when cotton and calico cost
two or three times their present
price-to kitchen girls whose hard
est work is in trying not to earn
what they get.
