Clothes Lines.

Come, now, what barbarity is this
leaving a clothes line out after dark! A
great deal of funny comment has been made
upOn thi scustOm of thoughtless people, out
il is a most serious matter, and it Is high
time the tOmfoolery was abolished. We
are just as ready as anybody to see the
funny side et thing, but we have ceased
TO observe anything amusing in being IN
expectedly sawed across the neck, O- rasped
across the face by clothes line. Ii is
time there was Legislative enactment to
either hanging clothes lipcs sixty feet above
the earth, or make leaving them out after
night-fslI a STATE prison offence 1t is a
most incOmpfehensi5le fact that a clothes
line is always hung across the garden path
Il tie yard was ten miles square and path
two feet wide crept along the fence, and
the woman had but eight feet of line, she
would manage TO cover the path. Whether
this is because she is perve:se. or cannot
help it, We do not know. We only know
that it is so, Snd that IL Is an appalling
evil. No home circle is safe where this
custom prevails. Ii matters not how good
natuTed man Is, it matters not how care

how lofty and noble are his aspirations
the moment clothes line catches him IN
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 brute,
and proceeds to act out the conditions al
once. IN its proper place clothes line il
a valuable companion, but across patti
after dark it is simply a brutalizing force.

President Madison and wife.

The character of Madison wife for social
ability, warmth of disposition, and what is
called spirit, will probably give her prece-
dence over any mistress of the White
House. Her husband was cold, snarlish,
exp rt, capable for public business. tractable
to his superiors; but he made no impression
on the public. A portrait of Mrs Madison
reveals the secret of her strength. She was
large, with brilliant eyes, with trace of
mischief in them; her arms are bare and
show full health; there is an Oriental turn
to her nose, which otherwise is rather vul-
gar: She wears y lace turban, and her hair
fans in ringlets around her forehead. She
was a native of North Carolina and was
brought up a strict Quaker in Philadelphia.
She was christened plain Dolly Payne.
While quite young she married MIR. Todd,
a Philadelphia lawyer. He kept her rather
out of society, but she was known before
his death to be ttrikingly handsome. He
died while she was almost a girl, leaving
her with one son: her father was also dead,
and j: is the tradition that she and her
mother kept boarding house in Philadel-
phia, to which came several members Of
Congress seeking boaFd. Madison was one
of the richest. His disposition was too
cold for matrimony, and he married no
doubt, because the Widow Todd supreme
| ly fascinated him. He was at the time
forty-three years old. Our constitution
hsd then been in existence about five years,
and Madison was regarded as one of the
most useful men under it. At the time he
married. Madison already had one of the
most distinguished regulations in the coun'
try. She stepped at once out of plair
Quaket family INTO the control of q great
Virginis mansion. When the capitol VA
removed to Washington city, which was {
mere wilderness filled with brambles anC
al0ers, Mrs. Madison at once demonstrated
her capacity to take hold of society ano
give it form. Her husband went regularl,
to his office, and took very little interest IL
society doings, but be gave her the fglles
freedom,

The Heroism of Washington.

\ careful study of the history of Valley
Forge cannot be too earnestly recommend
ed to all who would fully comprehend the
greatness Of the character of Washington.
At no other period of the war does il seem
so purely heroic, and at no time does the
patriot cause appear to have been in equal
danger of ruin. TO this day it seems G
miracle that the little army was kept to-
gether at all. He gave forty-five years to
the service his country, but in what year
OF them all did he do so much to save and
establish it? Superior 10 evil fortune,
stronger than the elements, and wiser than
all the delegated wisdom of the colonies,
hardly knowing IN whom he might confide
or what professed friend might prove a
virulent foe, his military genius underval-
ued and maligned by men unworthy to hold
his stirrup, he seems never to have lost
either his equanlmity or his hope Contrast
Washington at Valley Forge his naked lit
tie band shiyering around him, with Napo-
leon selfishly flying from the wreck of the
most magnificent army which ever trOd the
plains of Europe. We feel. as we
contemplate the spectacle, that Washington
was ''all in all to the cause" ANY other
man might have destroyed it by presump-
tuous ambition. by an overestimate of his
own ability, or on the other hand, by a
natural incapacity to manage the peculiar
resources confded to him. 1t may be truly
said that no historical character has so
grown in the estimation of mankind There
are other revolutionary personages who
are still remembered freshly. in whom we
see faults and even weaknesses. From
these, Washington was not utterly freefor he
was human; but can another be found who
erred so seldom, who discovered and
repaire his error so promptly, who
was so wise and yet SO simple, who
was so utterly incapable Of sub
mitting to defeat while even adesperate
chance of success remained, or who did
the work which his hands found to do,
despite innumerable distractions and
difficulties, so persistently and so thorough
ly?

told us, among other things, that his

his own pictures in the South Kensing-

one of them, leaned over the barrier and
wiped it off with his handkerchief. In
stantly the policeman on duty was upon
him. "What are you adding Of" said
the force, "a-touching that there pic

smiling, "Pve often thouched it before. !"
"Haye you, thought cried the indignant
peeler; "then more shame for yer! You

the unresisting painter to the officers Of
the Museum, who, Of couse, recognized
the culprit and condoned his offense.

Our skillful Babette excelled in max
ing other things besides "petits palms,"
especially those creamy and delightful,
though, alas! delusive, Jumps of melting
sweetness known as meringues-some de-
liciously creamy, others the rich brown
of the chocolate of which they were COM
posed. A good many folks who read this
may not know them, but for the benefit
OF those who do not, and who may like to
turn out a lovely dshful to deck sup
portable and delight their friends pal
ates, will keep at Babette's elbow and
tell all about them; the more as, though
it may require practice, it is neither a
difficult nor expensive treat.
First she made about a pint of clear
white sugar sirup, boiling it slowly till it
began to bubble; then she tested it by
rubbing sweet spoonful against the side
of the pan, where, at the proper moment,
it turned quite white. During this time
1 had been vigorously whisking the
whites Of half dozen eggs in basin !;
this she now took hastily from me, and
poured its contents sharply into the boil
ing sugar-explaining while she stirred
vigorously, that if she lost any time over
it, the sugar would cake and powder, and
the whole thing prove failure.
Having mixed the whole into stiff
batter or paste, she proceeded to lay
large egg-shaped spoonfulls of it on to
strips Of paper laid on a long, narrow
board of hard wood, which she first we'll
wetted-explainlng that otherwise the
meringues would dry and become hard
before they were done. When she had
spooned out long row of these half-eggs
at about an inch distance from each
other, she sifted some fnely-powdered
white sugar over the whole; and as
soon as that had little dissolved,
placed the board in a rather cool
oven and watched them rise-the outside
shining . little and becoming slightly set
and clouded with brown, but the inside
remaining moist, as becomes properly

they were slipped out, stripped off the pa

Estick it fast to another half, and 50 form

piled up with others on large silver
plate, was to form one of the prettiest or
