Deacon Ricnard Smith, of the Cincin-
natl Gazette, good, pious man, is respon-
sible for this:
Differences in families united by mar
rage are mostly on the side of the wom-
en-. Woman fails in tact to preserve the
amenities of the hearth.
The soft answer OF the repression
which evades an issue is more on the
part of the man than the wife.
Young women manage their lovers,
but lose their skill to manage their hus-
bands. Women make the cliques in
congregations, church societies, family
hotels, boarding houses and wherever
lovely woman predominates. Lack of
tact makes the traditional mother-in-
law. Fathers-in-law have too much tact
to be fussy and irritating in matters that
should be left alone. Men live harmo-
niously in clubs without getting into
hostile divisions"

1t should not he forgotten that the
great parade of the Forepaugh show
takes place to-day. During the pas
sage of the monster procession
through the streets it will be neces-
sary for teamsters and all who have
horses in charge TO keep an eve on
them. In fact teams should be kept
away from the route of the process
sion as much rs possible is the dis
play of elephants is almost certain to
cause runaways. The most gentle

How Indians Return Calls.
milwaukee Wis Sun.l


A party of Sioux Indians were guests
at leading Milwaukee hotel, and the
ladies had a great deal of amusement,
studying their customs. That is, they
all did except one lady. The ladies
called upon the Indians, and the saw
ages returned the calls almost before the
ladies got to their rooms.
One of the ladies called on a chief
and then went TO her room and retired,
and pretty soon there was a knock at
her door and she found that it was the
chief. She told him to come in the
morning.
The lady unlocks her door in the
morning SO the porter can come in and
build a fire before she gets up. She
heard knock in the morning, and, sup
posing it was the porter, she said:
Come in." The door opened and in
walked Mr.. Indian. She took one look
at him and pulled the bed clothes over
her head He sat down on the side of
the bed and said, Howl Well, she
was so scared that she didn't know
''How" from Adam. She said to him in
the best Sioux that she could command ::
please, good Mr.. Indian, go away until
I get up" but he didn't seem to be in a
hurry He picked up pieces of her
wearing apparel from the floor, different
articles that he didn't seem to know any
thing about where they were worn, and
made comments on them in the Sioux
tongue. The stockings seemed to para
I'VE his untutored mind the most.
They were those long, go in the shade
stockings, and they were too much for
his feeble intellect He held them up
by the toes and said Ugh" The lady
trembled and wished he would go away.
He seemed to take great delight in ex-
amining the hair on the bureau, and look
ed at the lady rs much as to say, "Poor
girl, some hostile tribe has made war on
the pale face and taken many scalps."
Finally, she happened to think OF the
bell, and she rang it as though the
house was on fire, and pretty soon the
porter came and invited the Indian to
90 down stairs and take drink. The
lady locked that door too quick, and she
will never leave it open again when
there are Indians in town. She says her
hair-on the bureau-fairly turned
gray from fright.

The Oldest City in the World.

Damascus is the oldest city in
the world. Tyre and Sidon have
crumbled on the shore; Baalbec is
ruin; Palmyra is buried in q des-
ert; Nineveh and Babylon have
disappeared from the Tigris and
the Euphrates. Damascus remains
what it was before the days OF
Abraham-a center of, trade and
travel-an isle of verdure in the
desert; "a presidential capital" with
martial and sacred associations ex-
tending through thirty centuries.
1t was near Damascus that Saul OF
Tarsus saw the light above the
brightness of the sun; the street
which is called Strait, in which 1t
was said che prayed" still runs
through the city. The caravan
comes and goes as it did a thousand
years ago; there is still the shiek,
the ass and the water wheel the
merchants of the Euphrates and
the Mediterranean still occupy the
streets with the multitude of their
wares" The city which Mohomet
surveyed from a neighboring height
and was afraid to enter, "because it
was given to man to have but one
paradise, and for his part he was re-
solved not to have it in this world"
is to-day what Julian called the
eye of the East" as it was, in the
time of Isaiah, "the head of Syria"
From Damascus came the dam
son, our blue plums, and the deli
cious apricot of Portugal, called da-
masco; damask, our beautiful fab
ric of cotton and silk, with vines
and flowers raised upon a smooth,
bright ground the damask rose in
troduced into England in the time
of Henry VIII; the Damascus
blade, so famous the world over for
its keen edge and wonderful elastic
ity, the secret of whose manufac-
ture was lost when Tamerlane car
ried the artist into Persia and that
beautiful art of inlaying wood and
steel with gold and silver, a kind
of Mosaic engraving and sculpture
united-called damaskeening-with
which boxes, bureaus, and swords
are ornamented. 1t is still city
of flowers and bright water; the
streams of Lebanon and the "silk
Of gold" still murmur and sparkle
in the wilderness of the Syrian
gardens.-Eachange

The Monkey as a Beer Drinker.

The learned author of ''The De-
scent of Man, in noticing that the
animals often suffer from the di-
seases that aff1ict ourselves, might
have added that, in some cases, they
are not free from our vices also.
According to recent letter from
Darfur, Africa, the monkeys of that
region are Unfortunately fond of a
kind Of beer made by the natives,
who use the beverage to capture
their simial relations. Having
placed quantities of the beer where
the monkeys can get at it, the ma
tives wait until their victims are in
various degrees of inebriation, and
when they mingle with them, the
poor creatures are too much fuddled
to recognize the differences between
negro and ape. When the negro
takes the hand of one of them to
lead him off, some other fond Great
ure clings to the hand of the latter
one, another to his hand, and thus
a single negro may sometimes be
seen carrying off string Of stag
gering monkeys. When secured,
the beer is administered in decreas-
ing quantities, so that they may
only gradually awaken to the sad
results of their spree.-Anon,

Christian Influence.

The Rev. C. Manson of Lowell, N.
Y, says in the Signs Of the Times,
"Let the fact be ever borne in
mind that if the Christian churches
of the State of New York would,
they could shut up every dram shop
in the State. A few days ago l was
talking with a rumseller when, in
substance, he said, "Mr, NJ, I
know that you are right and that
my business is wrong, If every
minister of the Gospel would do his
duty as faithfully as you do, you
would shut up the traffic within
one year. But as long as Christian
men uphold and vote for these par
ties, liquor will be sold and | will
sell, too"
Along side of this l wish to lay
another circumstance. When |
visited the town of Otsego in Otse-
go county, in February, they were
having their town meeting. One
good Christian gentleman took his
place dt VIC pulls w pCoiuiC ~ II
cense tickets" Just beside him
stood the landlord of a hotel with
'license tickets" Two members of
Christian churches came up near
together to vote. This Christian
man offered them mo license tick
ets," but they turned from him
with a frown, took the RUMSEI-
LER'S tickets and VOTED for IL
CENSE. When they were gone,
the landlord turned to the Chris
tan man and patting him on the
shoulder said, "now you see what
your religious men do. These
Christians want us to sell rum" l
will make no comments on the
above circumstances now Let
Christians read, think and then act.
