DRESSING FOR THE CHILDREN.-"I am
glad of II rainy day once in a while," said
Mrs Lake, especially when have some
work want to finish off as we have to-
day, Lucia. There will be no one calling
tot day. surely, so what is the use of your
stopping to dress? Your husband is away
for the week, and we can just take our
ease in these morning dresses, and keep
on with our sewing"
"The boys will be home at 3 O'Clock" +"
said her friend, taking down her wavy
hair and proceeding to dress it in her ac-
customed graceful fashion will Just
remark that it was not done up in "bangs''
or "frizzes,' or snarls of any sort, but was
arranged in rich, classic style, which gave
the appearance of the noble, beautiful
matron she was.
"Dressing for your bovs" exclaimed the
other. mo wonder folks talk of the ex-
travagance of the times, when mothers
make such parade to meet their school
boys at the tea table," and practical cousin
Eunice shipped off thread in a very
energetic manner.
at pays" said the mother quietly. as
she took fresh pair of cuffs and slipped
them into pair of sleeve buttons Freddie
had given her on her birthday. He had
saved up his pennies to buy those garnet
buttons, and he liked TO see her wear them,
as she did almost every afternoon, although
she had prettier ones.
Cousin Eunlce could dress up richly on
occasions, but for the bosom of her family
she had set of "old gears" as William
said, which, if they were useful. were not
ornamental. The children did not admire
mother rs they might in those dresses.
though she was quite good looking
woman in good clothes.
But, Lucia, you can't afford to put on
that pretty cambric suit which it took such
a ime to iron. What is the use of mussing
it this rainy dayP"
IL am not going out in the rain, and the
duller it is out of doors, the more cheerful
like to have it in the house. The boys
always like this dress, and like to see
them pleased. Indeed, l think | care
much more for the opinion of the folks
under my own roof than | do for those
away. would rather be admired by my
own bows than by an Indifferent company
in SOMEBODY'S parlor. And, Eunice, think
all these things help to keep our hold on
our boys when they grow Older. when
they are just passing out of childhood into
youth, feel that they need mother al
most us much rs when in the cradle. In
deed smother might give the baby food
and clothing; but boys at the latteo age
need u great mother love and care TO keep
them from going wrong. Everything that
draws them nearer to mother, and makes
them respect her more. is worthy of atten-
tion My boys never think of walk in
the street of an evening. but sometimes
spend an nour at friends house, or ask a
few boys here. Mother is always impor.
tuned to join in any games or plays, and
very often taker hand with them. Oh,
it would be dreadful to me to feel that my
boys were slipping away from mothers
influence, and | hope never to know It,

krupp's Colossal Establishment.

Inc following very graphic description
OF the Immense works of Herr Friedrich
krLpp at Essen, Germany is contained in
private letter from Hon. j. S. Potter,
United States consul at Crefeld, who re.
Gently visited the establishment:
" At this time 1882 is the daily aver
age number of men employed in this
colossal manuiactory for the production OF
everything that is composed of steel-es.
pecially war material. Steam and smoke
were issuing from countless chimneys and
smoke stacks, and rolling in immense
volumes over the $50 acres of buildings
within the walls which enclose his grounds
The view from outside seemed TO indicate
tornado of excitement and IL rush of
business within. Upon entering. however,
the scene presented was surprisingly quiet
When man was seen whether workman
Or manager, he was rs serene as morn
ing in the tropics. There WAS no excite.
ment, no rush, every mans motions being
all in the line of system and order. do
not remember to have heard loud word
spoken among the thousands of men in
the different buildings through which we
passed. But the unceaSing smoke and
steam continued TO lascend from pipes and
chlinneys near and as far away as the eve
could see, and the subdued hum Of machin-
cry everywhere was rs steady as The roar
-of the Niagara. Great cannon were being
moved us silently rs if they were going TO
he funeral of the masses of men they
were made to slaughter. One cannon,
recently finished weighing, with wedge.
about eighty tons, and throwing shell
weighing one and a half tons Il distance of
more than ten miles, was being placed in
position. Only II mild word was OCCASION
ally uttered by the man in charge, and the
great mass went steadily IN the right |
direction. No fuss, no false motions
every utterance and motion was just the |
one that ought to be made. The man in |
charge Was competent boss The
average number composing the families of
these Is, ,542 men was four and half 10
each-thus making between eighty and |
ninety thousand human beings dependent |
upon the business, skill and management
OF Herr krupp, who WAS born lowiy, and |
lhlrly years ago was poor man. He |
provides everythlng-dwellngs and homes
for all schools, churches, preachers, sup
p'y-stores, bakeries, slaughter houses,
butchers, doctors, bathing establishments |
life insurance and fire companies, pension |
institutions. hospitals, undertakers and |
and all works smoothly and we'll. |
In reply to II question covering the vast
responsibility, anxiety, care and difficulties |
IN managing such II complex and extensive
he said he had little anxiety |
and no difficulty in managing his ncreas
ing business. His care and responsibility |
was chiefly exercised in the selection of i
men for positions of management. He
had no friendship for bosses who We're
not exactly fitted for the position they
were engaged to fill--and no mercy for
those found negligent Or inefficient. To
his caution in the selection OF managers
he attributed the chief success of his lile."

THE CITIZENS DUTY.-The duty eac h
citizen owes to the town or city in which
he lives is well set forth by Henry Ward
Beecher in the language given below:
in any town or village or city without a
thought of the prosperity of that town or
village or city. hold that it is II shame
for a man to use the community as II
shepherd uses his sheep, merely to shear
the wool. For man to be II citizen and
to think. "Can ] better myself Mt the
expense of the government, of the city or
of the community to which belongp"
and never to have the thought flash across
his mind, "Can enrich the state and ben
eft my fellow.menP" is shame.

The TINE HAD CoMB,-Three or four
years ago, when there WAS a grip on the
potato market, there lived near nm interior
village in this state farmer named Pc.
ters. He raised good crops, paid his debts
and was down on rings of all sorts. The
price of potatoes kept going up and up,
and the old farmer was uneasy. He
came into the village every evening to see
how the market stood, and although he
never said much it was evident that he
would burst his hoops pretty soon if things
continued in that way At length the eli.
max came. One evening the old man and
his son had warm corner in gr ocery
when citizen entered with newspaper
in his hand, and said:
This New York daily says that the
price of potatoes is certain to advance
again before the week is ont"
"What j. exclaimed Peters, " another
advance in 'tatersP"
Yes, the Lord only knows what is to
become of the poor if this potato ring isn't
bursied."
The farmer arose, kuttoned his old white
overcoat clear to his chin, brought his fist
down hard on the cheese box and sternly
said:
1.-The time has cOme!" I've stood it
and stood it as long rs can, and now I'm
going to act! George, we'll go home and
get ready tc throw 6fty.six bushels of
Peachblows on the market to morrow, and
burst that wicked ring all 70 thunder"

ing to our thoughts, and should be cutivat-
ed. if only few, by every mother in the
land. They are indee the stars of earth.
A reader has asked me to teach her how
to treat fuchsiaS. | dearly love this flow
ef, and think that they will find place
in the affections of any one who grows
them So will begin by telling how am
doing at this season of the year with my
plants. Several weeks ago | made slips
OF all the new growth and rooted them in
sand. then put in two-inch roots and
they are growing nicely. AS soon as all
danger OF frost is past. shall prepare
bed close to the north side of the honse in
the shade; they do not need much sun in
deed they must be protected from ii during
the hottest part of the day. Then | will
shift my plants into four.inch pots or
sooner if need be, and sink the pots little
below the level of the soil in the beds pre-
pared for them
If not well sheltered from the wind, you
had better build lath fence about two
feet high around the plants; through the
hot, dry weather, they should have a good
sprinkling with water about three even
ings in each week. They will begin to
bloom as soon as they have had time to
make the buds, and if carefully lighted in
the fall will continue to bloom until
Christmas, and such varieties as Specosa
and Lustre, much longer When they
cease Towering, and the leaves begin to
turn yellow and drop off, they should have
their annual rest. Gradually quit water
ing them and set the plants down cellar,
and only give enough water to prevent
their drying out entirely. In about six or
eight weeks you may bring them out
again, and they will need repotting, an d
given some stimulants in the shape of
liquid manure. when new growth will
soon start, and the plants may be treated
the same as they were the year before.
The fuchsia makes a splendid pot plant,
and may he pruned to any desired shape.
When the little plant sttans height of
eight or ten inches pinch out the centre,
and in place of one there will be three or
four branches grow out, Let the branches
make about the same growth, then clip the
points out, keeping the side branches of
equal length, or tapering like pyramid
Or you can clip off all the lower limbs and
allow the upper ones to droop over, as they
are sure to do when loaded with flowers,
and you form u handsome umbrella
think Speciosa is the best variety for this
purpose. Get some iron filings or scales
of iron from around u blacksmiths anvil
and work among the soil, and 1t will cause
your plants to grow vigorously, and bring
plenty of bloom - Gardener'S Monthly.

1t would be amusing, lift were not
sad, to sec such evidences of political
depravity, to repeat the declarations
of the Half Breeds Of this state to-day
concerning Arthur alongside of their
comments Of six months or less ago.
Then, the denunciatory adjectives Of
the language were insufficient to ex-
press their contemptuous opinions Of
Chester A. Arthur; now they are at
an equal loss to express their appre-
Citations of his many noble qualities.
Then he was referred to as cold
Conk's man Friday" Now he is "the
cherished friend Of the great New
York Senator"
Such, however, is one ofthe results
of Office holding. Yesterday they
were a mans villifiers; to-day they
are his slaves. Six months ago the
office holders of West Virginia were
throwing their slops and tobacco
guilds at Roscoe Conkling; now they
are licking his feet. But this humil-
ity will not save them. The stall
warts of this State were manly and
honorable in their fight, neither
heaping abuse upon ones head, nor
clinging TO another. And their re.
ward is near at hand.-M.
