Clothes Lines.

Come, now, what barbarlty is this
leaving clothes line out after dark A
great deal of funny comment has been made
upon thi scustom of thoughtlcss people, but
1t ID most serious matter, and II ID high
time the tomfoelery was abolished. Wo
are just as ready as anybody to SEQ the
funny side of thing, but we havo ceased
to observe anything amusing in being un-
eXpcctedly sawed across the neck, or raspcd
across the face by clothes linc 1t is
time there was a legislative enactment to
either hanging clothes lines sixty feet above
the earth, or make leaving them out after
night-fal] state prison offence. 1t is q
most incomprehensible fact that clothes
line is always hung across the garden path.
If the yard was ten miles square and path
two feet wide crept along tho fence, and
the woman had but eight feet Of line she
would manage 10 cover the path. Whether
this is because she is perverse. or cannot
help 1t, we do not know. We only know
that 1t is 30, and that it Is an appalling
evil. No home circle Is safe where this
custom prevails. 1t matters not how good
natured man IS, 1t matters not how care
fully he has been educated, it matters not
how lofty and noble are his aspirations--
the moment clothes line catches him un.
der the chin, especially If he has Il pan of
ashes in his arms, that moment he sinks
with awful velocity to the level Of a brute,
ana proceeds to act out the conditions at
once. In it's proper place clothes line Is
valuable companion, but across a path
after dark 1t Is simply brutalizing force.

The Graoo Cup.

The origin of the grace cup, or, as it IS
sometimes called, the Glowing cup" passed
round from guest to guest at state banouets
and city fcasts, is thus accounted for.
''The grace cup derives It's name and uso
from an amusing little fact illustrative of
the manners and customs of the Scotch
mobiles in the eleventh century. That royal
Christian civilizer, Margaret Athcling, the
consort Of Malcolm Kenmore, observing
that they had an irrcvercnt habit of rising
and quitting the table before grace could be
pronounced by her chaplain, promised to
reward all who could be induced to tarry
for that ceremony with a dfaught al Iibi-
tun from large gold cup of the choices,
wine. which was passed from hand to hand
round the board, after the thanksgiving for
the meal had been duly said. The bribe
offered by the beautiful young queen was
too agreeable to be resisted by tho hitherto
graceless northern magnates; each was
eager to clam his share or the grace cup.
