In All Her Ignorance.

The ignorant young lady may be
beautiful creature, graceful In her man.
ners, pleasant in her department and
possessed of sufficient stock of CONVEX
sational power to entrap some poor fel-
low into matrimony. Under our laws
there Is no bureau of examination to test
her qualifications for assuming the re-
sponsibilities of m arried life. The young
man who takes her for better or for
worse can act as examining board at his
leisure and report at his convenience or
inconvenience, as the case may be. He
is likely to find that although she may
have entranced him with the fuency of
her speech at party or ball during the
blissful experience of courtship, her en-
deavors at housekeeping are anything
but blissful. When she undertakes TO
bake biscuits the products of her first
days work may be sold either for paving
stones or base-balls. When she wrestIes
with cobwebs the industrious spider
gets the better of her. When she at
tempts to set room to rights she leaves
it looking as if her neighbors had been
holding picnic in it.
But it is when the ignorant young
lady becomes mother that her natural
lack of knowledge is most conspicuously
displayed. Such q case has recently
been brought to light in one of the
pretty villages on the Hudson River.
The lady had been brought up among
surroundings of wealth and luxury and
had allowed much useful information to
skip past her without taking the trouble
improve it. One day it became neces-
sary to give her bouncing baby boy
bath in his little tin bath-tub. She put
him into water which was too cool for
him, when happily her mother-in-law
came into the room and told her that
the child would be chilled to death unless
the. water were made warmer. She
knew that heating water generally made
it warmer, and so, instead of adding
some hot water to the cool contents of
the tub, she stood the whole, baby and
all, over the gas stove. Presently the heat
had its effect. The bottom Of the tub
began to be hot and the child wrigeled
around in q way which showed that he
was uncomfortable. As it grew hotter
and hotter he set up his little pipes in q
piercing yell.
The mother was not greatly alarmed
by this, for since the days of Cain, the
first recorded infant, it has been custom
ary for baby boys to yell when they felt
like it. But soon the heat increased so
much that the baby, with one agonizing
scream, kicked the tub over and rolled
out on the floor, upsetting the gas stove,
drenching his mother with scalding
water, and summoning the affrighted
mother-in-law to the rescue. While
young Mrs. Ignorance was busy faint
ing, the old lady and the servants gath
cred up the parboiled infant and put
him in place Of safety. Thus does the
young woman who never learned in girl
hood become acquainted with the rela-
tions OF hot water to babies and of bibles
to hot water. 1t is never too late to
learn.-PhiLddelphia Times.

The Story Disproved.

A leading officer in one of the courts
was charged with never going to
bed sober. Of course he Indignantly
denied the soft impeachment, and he
gave the particulars of a particular night
in proof. We quote his own words:
Soon after I got in bed, my wife said:
"Why, husband, what's the matter with
you? You act SO strangely" "There is
nothing the matter with me-" said I;
nothing at all" "Pm sure there is, !"
said she; "you don't act natural at all.
Shan't I get up and get something for
you?" And she got up, lighted the can
die and came to the bedside to look at me,
shading the Light with one hand. "1
knew there was something about you, ;"
said she; "why, you are sober!"-Buy-
