Staying too Long i'm Friendly Visits.

One class OF persons will need an es-
pecial amount of grace this Summer. We
mean those women who, having worked
hard in their homes all winter are visited
by their city friends all summer. Per
haps they have married the sons, who,
by fate of fortune, have kept the old
bones. All the brothers and sisters, with
their troops Of children, must come back
to the shade trees and meadows for quiet
rest. Perhaps they have no special love
for the woman who presides over the old
time house, butt is such convenient
thing to have place to visit where there
are no board bills to pay. Ten to one, the
wife IN the country is more worn than her
city relatives, and is in no wise able to
bear the extra care, or manage the adj
dltional cooking. For force of circum-
stances she has been dressmaker, milhner
and servant, maybe, In her large family
the whole year through. She has turned
dresses wrong side out and upside down
She has made every dime 90 It's farthest
And now the visitors have come to use
up all her self sacrifice has saved It
might have been pleasant to have received
them for three days, but when they re-
main three months the case is different.
We once heard a gentleman remark that
he could say all the new things he had
to say to visitors in one day." and, as a
rule, we quite agree with him. The cheap.
est way to visit is to go to hotel or board
ing house, and pay an equivalent FOR what
one receives. Of course, one has congen
ial friends whom it is pleasure to seek
much and often; but too many so-called
friends and persons who are serving theil
own convenience-persons who never OF
fer to help in kitchen or parlor, and seem
oblivious to the fact that anything is be
ing done for them. Don't make YOU
summer trip at the expense Of anybody
comfort. Let your religion. If you profe;
1t, permeate all your plans, especially thos
for summer visiting.

British anu American Raiiwsy Systems.
The contrast between the British and
American systems Of railways Is very re-
markabIe. The mileage OF the former is
only 1896 miles, the latter 86,497. The
cost of the former is 1886, 100000,
double our funded national debt and close
upon the total of the English debt. The
cost of our system in operation to Deem
ber, 81, 1879, is placed b. Mr. Poor at
$4,4l6, 100000 on ,232 mi es, or $4, 4,919,-
100000 on the whole system Of sc, 497
miles. The difference in the average cost
per mile is very great-in Great Britain
$202, 900 per mile; in the United States,
$4,000 average per mile. The gross earn.
ings, on the other hand, are directly re-
versed. The British lines, on II, ,696 miles,
last year took in $308, 100000. The lines
of the United States, on "a 232 miles in
full operation last year, took in $529, 900,
600. The proportion of passengers to
freight on the former Is greater than in
this country, though only az per cent OF
the whole earnings. The operating ex-
penses III Great Bri ain average 80 per
cent; in the United states, IS 40 per cent.

Napoleon Smashing Furniture.

We have already seen something Of
the vulgarity and coarseness shown by
Napoleon in his quarrels with his wife,
and by both of them in the way in
which they made these chickering's the
subject of condolences and converse
ton in the palace. In this volume
we have detailed account of still
ruder quarrel which was, in a sense,
the beginning of Napoleon's plans for
divorce.
Josephine's jealousy having been
aroused by the attentions which Ma
poleon paid to one of the ladies of the
court, Madame de KeInusat was made
the Empress confidant as usual, and
did what she could to dissuade her
from her rash resolution to act the part
of spy upon her husband, but to no pur-
pose. Josephine carried out her plan,
and, returning in great agitation, gave
Madame de Remusat an account of
what had occurred, saying that Napo-
Icons rage had been SO great that fight
had been necessary. Madame de Rem
usat charged the Empress to conceal
the fact of this confidence in herself
from Napoleon, and returned to the
drawing room, leaving Josephine to
await the Emperor's coming in her bed.

Il returned at once to the drawing
room, where found Nine. de-. She

my work as TRANQUILITY as I could, but
think Nine. de -, having seen me
leave the room, must have known that
the Empress had told me. Every one
was looking at every one else, and no.
body could make out what was happen
ing. A few minutes afterward we heard
a great noise in the apartment of the
Empress, and of course l knew that the
Emperor was there, and that a violent
quarrel was taking place. Nine. lie

Bonaparte, after having insulted her in
every possible way, and smashed some
of the furniture in his rage, had signi-
fed to her that she was at once to quit
Saint Cloud. He declared that, weary
of her jealous spying, he was deter.
mined to shake off such yoke and to
listen henceforth only to the counsels
of his policy, which demanded that he
should take a wife capable of giving
him children. She added that he had
sent orders to Eugene de Beauharnais
to come to Saint Cloud in order to
make arrangements for the departure
of his mother, and she added that she
was now lost beyond redemption"

FreckleS.

Our young ladies keep themselves
too much indoors during the winter,
and then suffer for it in a crop of
freckles during the summer, especially
those who are favored with fair skin.
The best course is to avoid the cause,
to face the winter winds little more
freely, and thus possess skin healthy
enough to prevent these deposits Of
coloripg matter beneath it.
Still. most young persons will sin
and suffer, and then be anxious to get
rid of the penalty. There are many
complicated recipes for the removal of
freckles but the Boston Journal of
Chemistry says that the old household
prescription of sour milk, or butter
milk, may sometimes answer the pur-
pose. The freckles yield to other sp-
plications, but for these, some of which
are unsafe in unskilled hands, the
family physician should be applied to.
Moth " somewhat resembles freck-
les, still it is dependent, not on m
external cause, but an internal-the
digestive system-and can be removed
only by getting the latter into vigor-
Gus condition. A quickening OF the
action of the skin may be an aid in the
case, but the main thing is the removal
of the internal cause.

Breaking Jim's ObStinacy.

The officers of the Detroit House of
Correction have to deal with the most
desperate criminals, some of whom
seem determined, on entering the
prison, to rebel against every rule. 1t re-
quires wisdom to deal with these obsti-
late men. Sometimes kind word will
break down a mans rebellious spirit,
and, occasionally, an incident like this
one, reported in the Free Press, does in
a moment what months Ct discipline
have failed to do
In the paint-shop now is man
whom we will call Jim, and who is a
Territorial prisoner on life sentence.
Up to last spring he was regarded as
a desperate, dangerous man, ready for
rebellion at any hour. He planned a
general outbreak, and was "given
away by one of the couspirators.
He plotted general mutiny or re-
bellion, aud was again betrayed. He
then kept his own counsel, and while
never refusing to obey orders, he
obeyed them like man who only
needed backing to make him refuse
to.
One day in June party OF strangers
came to visit the institution. One was
an old gentleman, the others ladies,
and two of the ladies had small chill
dren.
The guide took one of the children
on his arm, and the other walked un-
til the party began climbing stairs.
Jim was working near by, sulky aud
morose as ever, when the guide said
to him:
Jim. won't you help this little girl
up stairs ?"
The convict hesitated, q scowl on
his face, and the little girl held out her
hands to him and said:
eff you will, guess I'll kiss you"
His scowl vanished in an Instant, and
he lifted the child as tenderly as q
father. Halfway up the stairs she
kissed him. At the head of the stairs
she said:
Now yon've got to kiss me, too y
He blushed like a woman, looked
into her innocent face aud then kissed
her cheek, and before he reached the
foot of the stairs again he had tears in
his eyes.
Ever since that day he has b son a
changed man, and no one in the place
gives less trouble.
Maybe in his far.away Western home
he has little Katie of his own.
No one knows, for he never reveals
his inner life, but the change so quickly
wrought by child proves that he has
heart, and gives hope that he may
forsake his evil ways.
