Comparing Sons-in-Law.

During the Vienna Exhibition
an amiable Hungarian merchant
happened to meet in a railway car
riage gentleman, with whom he
proceeded to hold a pleasant CONVEX
sation.
"I'm going to Vienna" said the
merchant, to see my daughter, who
is we'll married there. My son-in-
law deals in paper and fancy leath-
er-work, and has good trade. He
is very prosperous.
II also" said the good-natured
stranger, "am going to see my
daughter and son-in-law."
"Ahl Is your son-in-law well
OFF," asked the merchant.
"Pretty we'll; but as he has to
carry on his work all alone, it is
rather tiresome."
els your daughter rich? ?"
"Not as rich as she'd like to be"
"She likes to spend a good deal on
her toilet ?"
"No; but she would like to be
able to give great deal in charity"
"She's good woman" said the
merchant, heartily; cts to be hop
ed that your son-in-law's business
will improve. Good-by, sir. Come
to see us, and bring your daughter; ;
we shall be happy to make her &C
quaintance."
The train arrived at the station
at that moment, and the traveller
whose son-in-law.'s business was
only pretty good" was immediate
ly surrounded by grand personages
in uniform. After having politely
saluted the amazed merchant, he
stepped into the carriage of the EN-
peror Of Austria.
The good father-in-law of the
dealer in paper and fancy leather
goods had been travelling with the
Prince Max, of Bavaria, father Of
the Empress Elizabeth.

Skipping.

Boys, want to ask you how YOU
think a conqueror would make ont
who went through a country he
was trying to subdue, and whenever
he found a fort hard to take left it
alone. Don't you think the enemy
would buzz wild there, like bees in
a hive; and when he was well into
the heart of the country, don't YOU
fancy they would swarm out and
harass him terribly?
Just so, | want you to remember
will it be with you if YOU skip over
the hard places in your lessons and
leave them unlearned; YOU have
left an enemy in the rear that will
not fail to hanss you and mortifv
you times without number.
There was just a little bit of nv
Latin | hadn't read" said vexed
student to me, "and it was there
the Professor had to call upon
me at examination. There were
Just two or three examples | had
passed over, and one of these | was
asked to do on the blackboard"
The student who is not thorough
is never well at his ease; he can
not forget the skipped problems,
and the consciousness of his defici-
encies makes him nervous and anx-
icus.
Never laugh at the slow. plod-
ding student; the time will surely
come when the laugh will be re-
turned. 1t takes time to be thor
ough, but it more than pays. Re-
solve, when you take up study,
that you will go through with it
like successful conqueror, taking
every strong point.
If the inaccurate scholars diff
culties closed with his school life,
it might not be so great matter
for his future career. But he has
chained to himselfa habit that will
be like an iron ball to his heel all
the rest Of his life. Whatever he
does he will be lacking somewhere
He has learned to shirk what is
hard, and the habit will grow with
years,-ETaminer and Chronicle.

A Generous Young Man.

A generous young man, having
taken a bundle Of clothes to the re-
lief rooms Saturday afternoon, ask
ed if they wanted help, for, having a
little leisure, he was willing to lend
a hand. They welcomed him glad
ly. So he off with his coat and
worked like a major until dusk.
Then, looking around for his coat,
it could nowhere be found.
what did you do with that coat
same stuff as my breeches and
vest ?" he asked.
"Why," said one of the packers,
81 thought it was a contribution
and packed it up with the other
things"
"Where is it?" asked the young
man, in great excitement.
Cup the river" was the reply.
Cup the riverl What is it doing
up the river?"
con its way to the sufferers. Was
it a nice coat ?"
"a nice coat! I should say it was
a nice coat. | put it on bran new
last Sunday. There was S21 in my
pocket-book on the inside pocket,
and three new silk handkerchiefs l
bought this afternoon"
The young man had to wear home
one of the "burnt-out's" garments,
and some sufferer" up the lake
will be lost in admiration of the be-
nevolence of theDetroit people when
he "goes through" that coat.-Ea-

PRESERVED QUINcEs.-Quinces

them and quarter them quickly ;
remove the seeds, as it makes the
syrup in boiling pasty; use hot wa
ter to put them in when they are
to be boiled. When they are boiled
tender take them out and drain
them; make a syrup with three
pounds of sugar to pint of water,

Things Worth Knowing.

That ripe tomatoes will remove
ink and other stains from white
cloth; also from the hands.
That teaspoonful of turpentine,
boiled with white clothes, will aid
the whitening process.
That kerosene will soften boots or
shoes which have been hardened by
water, and render them as pliable
as when new.
That boiled starch is much i'm
proved by the addition of little
spermaceti, or a little salt, or both,
or little gum arabic dissolved.
That boiling water will remove
tea stains and many fruit stains ;
pour the water through the stain,
and thus prevent it from spreading
over the fabric.
That kerosene will make tin tea
kettles as bright as new; saturate
wooden rag and rub with it; 1t Will
also remove stains from clean var
nished furniture.
That beeswax and salt will make
Aat-irons as clean and smooth as
glass; tie lump Of wax in rag,
and keep it for that purpose; wnen
the irons are hot, rub them with
the rag, and then scour with pa
ner or Rag sprinkled with salt.

Two Ways.

Christianity is a powerful social
force, because it begins directly
with the home. The Christian
home should be q model place, and
every effort to raise and brighten it
will be amply rewarded. Think
mgof what so many homes are, in
stead of what they might and ought
to be, this picture of "two ways"
drawn in the Christian Union, will
be found well worth reading:
The FIRST WAY. The father sits
down after tea, takes up his daily or
county newspaper, stretches him
self out before the fire, pays no at
tention to the children, except occa-
aonalLy to growl out a rebuke, pores
over its obscure type, reads at hap
hazard a paragraph here and there,
and soon begins to nod and finally
tails asleep. The girl gets out her
dime-novel or sensational story
paper, and reddens her eyes by read
ing its fine type by the evening
lamp. The oldest boy amuses him
self for few minutes teasing the
cat or vexing the smaller children.
When he has gotten pussy with her
claws we'll out of the fur, and the
children either in tears or in a
quarrel, he saunters out of the room
ana goes down to the post-ofhce,
where he hangs around through the
evening, perhaps smoking, possibly
drinking, and at best indulging in
me low and vulgar gossip Of the
village store. The little children
are presently packed off to bed, and
IA9 mother, with a sigh at the soil
Jude to which she has now become
accustomed, gets out her basket of
Stockings and darns industriously
away, looking back with bitter
memories to courtship days when
nef John kept awake till midnight,
Gplo later days when the long even
b Inss were gladly given to the baby

thought of the burden which his
n rnpeu mother bears unhelped and

And hang it above your door
A truer and better sign-board
Than you ever had before.
Twill paint with the skill of master,
And many shall pause to see
This wonderful piece of painting,
Solike the reality.
Twill paint yourself, rum-seller,
As YOU wait for that fair young boy,

He has no thought of stopping,
But YOU greet him with smile,
And YOU seem so blithe and friendly
That he pauscs to chat awhile.
Twill paint you again, rum-seller,

With a foaming glass of liquor
Held sparkling in your hand.
He wavers, but you urge him;
"Drink! pledge me just this one!"
And he lifts the glass and drains it,
And the helliSh work is begun.
And l next will paint drunkard;
Only year has flown,
Butinto this lOathsome creature,
The fair young boy has grown.
The work has been quick and rapid:
Will paint him as he lies
In a torpid, drunken slumber,
Under the wintry skies.

As she kneels at her darlings side
Her beautiful boy that was dearer
Than all the world beside.

4 Severe Storm.

LONDON. January 10. terrible storm is
prevailing here. 1t is the worst experienced
for 90 wears. The Thames has flooded the
Houses of Parliament, so there was scarce
w quorum TODAY, and an adjournment
which at this time might be disastrous,
was narrowly ave1tcd. Tht Thames has
risen ten feet on Surry side, flooding the en-
tire district Great damage has been done
to the poorer sort of houses, and hundreds of
people are made homeless. Many are taking
refuge on roofs and are in momentary terror
lest their lives become prey TO the rising
waters. The scenes are terrible and the ex
ertions which are being made seem made
auate to relieve the distress which prevails.
4 number of barges are sunk in the Thames
and several lives are lost. Snow continues
to fall, accompanied by a hurricane, with IN
abated volume, blocking trains, casting YES
sells ashore and breaking telegraph lines in
all directions. Traffic is absolutely sus-
pended and business is at a stand still. Cabs
and omnibuses have ceased running and the
only method of transportation is by under
ground railroad and elevated roal on Surry
side OF the river. No one remembers such
scenes as are now presented in London, and
they are indeed almost indescribabie. The
storm has extended throughout the greater
portion of the United Kingdom and kilograms
from provincial towns along the sea coast re-
port numerous disasters to shipping and
property. The greatest CONSERVATION pre-
walls and dread of fresh disasters is uni
yersal. Numerous wrecks, attended with
loss of life, is reported around the coast. In
several instances on the east coast the storm
is SC violent that it is impossible to render
help to shipwrecked crews. In London the
street traffic is paralyzed. the snow drifts in
some cases being FIVE feet high. At O'Clock
z. VI. it again commenced showing. Reports
from al parts of the country Indicate that the
storm is the severes, within the memory Of
any living person. Railway traffic and tele
graphic communication is almost completely
suspended throughout the Kingdom and inter
ruption has extended to the Continent. Sever
vessels are ashore at Yarmouth and it j;
feared fifty persons have been drowned there

Serious objections are found by the Senate
committee on Foreign Relations to Chinese
treaties, one of which is that the word
''laborer" is ambiguous. Immigration OF
none but coolies would be restricted under
this clause. Another is that there is no re-
striction upon the importation of Chinese
women for immoral purposes. The commit
tee, however, favor ratitying treaties and
trusting to construction to remedy these
defects.
