Screaming Women.

The woman who screams at ev-
erything, from a mouse to a COW, Is
of little practical use. How will the
wife who screams at nothing deport
herself when her husband is brought
home with a broken leg, her child
has fit. the family fortunes go to
sudden ruin, the house catches fire,
the ceilings fall in, the pipes burst,
and. to use Shakspeare's expression,
call is in extremity" The little
scream, so feminine, and to some
ears so appropriate in the days of
white muslin gowns, dainty little
hats, aud rosebud cheeks, always
blushing, will have a very different
sound for the harassed man of busi-
ness, the long-suffering husband, the
anxious father; he will look with
envy on those happy fellows who
possess wives who do not scream.
Properly considered, this question
of screaming should have great
weight i'm a mans choice of part
ner for life. The little scream is
invaluable as an index Of character.
No really well-bred woman wonld
dream of screaming at cow any
more than of losing her temper with
careless servants before company.
She has been taught self-pOssession
under emergencies as duty owed
to society, and it becomes a matter
of course. A man, therefore, in
choosing a wife, should ask himself
whether such calm, dignified bear
ing. presence of mind, and a reluc-
lance to inflict discomfort on others,
are not qualities that Outlive mere
beauty. Partly, therefore, to vul-
garity, and also partly to vanity,
must the scream be attributed.
There are girls so helplesSly addict
ed to self-adulation, women so NOR
bidly anxious for notice, that they
will do anything short of commit
ting murder in order to attract at
tention. What they cannot effect by
good looks, spirit, or even an attrac-
tive appearance, they cOntriye by
the scream. a scream CRATES; a
scream is odious; scream has no
meaning, but it makes the bystand
er stare it awakens a spurious SYM
pathy for the moment. All we can
say is that, all things considered, the
man who marries a woman who
screams deserves the misery which
is in store for him.

Captain James Etchberger vouch-
es for the following bird story.
About thirty years ago when in
Honduras in command of the bark
EldoradO, his wife then accompany
ing him, he was presented with a
parrot, a sprightly bird and fluent
discourser i'm the Spanish language.
The bird was brought to this city,
where after being domiciled in the
house of the captains family it soon
acquired knowledge of the English
tongue. The next door neighbor of
the captain was a garulous woman
An incessant scOld-foreve quar-
reling with some one or something.
Polly being allowed full liberty
was pleased to take an airing on the
yard fence, and in a short time had
learned to mimic the scolding neigh
Dor to perfection and finally became
aggressive. Polly not unfrequently
rued her impertinence by being
knocked off the fence with a broom
stick.
This brought forth a torrent of
abuse from her injured feelings up
on the head of her assailants. FL
nally the birds language became so
abusive that the captain was obliged
to send it away, and Polly was
transferred TO a good Christian
family in the country, where in the
course of time she reformed and
became to some extent a bird of
edifying piety.
Some time ago, while she was
summing herself i'm the garden, large
hawk swOoped down and bore the
distressed parrot off as prize. Her
recent religious training came to her
assistance, as at the top of her voice
she shrieked, "Oh, Lord. same me |!
Oh, Lord, same mel"
The hawk became so terrified at
the unexpected cry that be dropped
his intended dinner and scared away
i'm the distance.
Polly still survives her attempted
abduction. n.-BdltimOre NewS.

Follow the Float.

A prospector, just in from the
hills, went to one of the city hotels
to get good square meal. After
partaking of the substant;als he Or
dered a change and waiter brought
him some pie and pudding. The
piece of pie was rather diminutive
and the old miner pulled out bis
mineral glass, and after gazing long
and earnestly through il at his small
supply asked, "Waiter, where did
you get thisI"

it came from a good lead; suppose

Misspent Evenings.

The boy who spends al hour each
evening lounging idly on street cor
ners wastes in a year three hundred
and sixty-five precious hours, which,
if applied to study, would familiar
ize him with the rudiments of almost
any science. IF in addition to vast
ing an hour each evening he spends
ten cents for cigars, which is usually
the case, the amount thus worse
than wasted would pay for ten of
the leading periodicals of the coun-
try. Boys, think of these things.
Think how much money you are
wasting, for what? The qualification
afforded by the lounge on the cor
ner or the cigar is not only tempo
rary but positively hurtful. You
cannot indulge in them without
seriously injuring yourself. You
acquire idle and wasteful habits,
which will cling to you with each
succeeding year. You may in after
life shake them off, but the probabil-
tiles are that the habit thus formed
in early life will remain with you
to your dying day. Be warned then,
in time, and resolve that as the hour
spent in idleness is gone forever, you
will improve each passing one and
thereby fit yourself for usefulness
and happiness.

Gold Excitement i'm Alaska.

The New York Times Washington
speci.l says: "A letter has been
received here from Sitka, Alaska, by
a treasury officer, which says that
the development of mineral wealth
in that region will probably cause
gold fever and attract thousands of
prospectors and miners. The writer
SAYS: Two miners, who have been
prospecting all summer IN the main
land, secured some Of The richest
gold quartz that has been found in
Alaska, and many old miners say it
is the richest they ever saw. An
assay was made of fair sample, not
a choice piece, that ran over $4,000
to the ton. The only question is
how much can they get oft? Owing
to the snow there but little can be
done this winter, as the ground is
now covered over two feet deep.
The location is easy of access, being
not more than two miles from
water"

Long Beach the new waierlng-p!ace on the A.
lantic coast few miles east of ROckawav, has been
-ed for IA term of years, with the privilege OF two
renewals, TO Richard H. SOuthEatr Oi saratoga. The
lease is executed by tho Vtr-presidcnt and secrc-
tary of the Long Beach Company. The rent is to be
$40 900 year. and the lease includes everything
except the bathing houses and coda water pavilion.
Tho Long Boach Company guarantees u
supply all necessary railroad trains. provided for
by the contract between the Long Beach COMPANY
and the Long Island Railroad Company, dated Feb
ruary 27, 1880. II is feared that Mr. COrbin, az
receiver of the Long Island RqilrOad Company, will
not comply with the conditions of that contract,
some lawyers cOntending that the contract can be
set aside on the ground that Colonel Sharp as re-
cever Of the Long Island Railroad COMPANY could
not contract with Colonel Sharp AZ president and
stakeholder Of the Long Beach Company.
