lures. Their eustOmes were mag
nifcent, and strangely fashioned Of
rich satins and loaded With orna

lands of pearl. Theirhead dresses
were OF silken gauze, heldby bands
ofgold and .urmounted by grace

silh trousers and silver slippers,
and their tingernails were tinged
with yellow. To an elderly laiy,
very queenly in her movements,
Implicit obedience WAS yielded by
the Others. The air Of the apart
ment was heavy with the perfume
OF sandal wood. A crowd Of color
ed servants brought in cigarettes
and sweetmeats and coffee, and of
the delicacies l was pressed to

The eating of these dainties and
gossiping with each other is the

FROM tho Arksnssw Traveller.
a Strict Father,

"My father was a very strict man
with his children" said II of the
supreme Judges of Arkansas, and |
don't think l ever knew him swerve
one inch from fixed purpose. He
looked upon a boyish prank as =
violation OF the family law, and /
don't think on such an occasion he
ever failed to give punishment.
One morning while the family
were at breakfast l went out to the
well, unwoHnd the chain from the
MINDLESS and let the bucket 20
down to the water. I thought it
would be a good joke to tell the
bucket was in the well and iuet as
he became concerned, to draw it up
and have a laugh at his expense.
Buckets down in the we'll, I said
when l entered the dining-room.
The old gentleman didn't say any
thing, and | intended to correct
the statement but bending my
energies to the demands ofa boys

Joke. After breakfast the old gen
tleman walked to the blacksmith
shop, about four miles distant and
had an iron hook made. He return
ed home, cut a long pole, aud
spent some time in fitting the hook
on the end of it. | noticed the
work, but it did not occur to me
that | was the instigator of the per-
formance. When the pole was
properly arranged he went to the
we'll and began to fish for the buck
ct. The bucket that / had lowered
had been drawn up, but the other
one had been let down. | WAS
afraid to say anything, go l went
down to the barn and played about
s long time. Finally | went back to
the house, reaching there Just as
the old gentleman brought the
bucket from the well" lie looked
at the chain, then at the windlass
and then at me.
"Didn't you tell me the bucket

Don't you know that you told
me n lie"
But it was in the well wasn't
it" and l laughed, hoping TO

side ofthe affair,

New York, Sept, l, 1883.
The week that is past has been
the merriest Of the season, at the

and turned sporting rock into .

been outdone by the tide of merry
making on the shore and the cham
payne has sent its sparkling spray
higher than the Sporting Rock.

this world is only fit for reforming,

The Way to Accumulate.
20 ssss III

Culture IS appropriate in more res
poets than the mere culture of farm
crops: Faithful, patient farmers know
that the field by practical and scientific
skill can be made to yield fourfold what
it will by careless cultivation. The
brain, too, by culture can be made to
increase in intelligence and activity at
least one hundred fold. Money is ac-
cumulated by working for it. and so is
knowledge. A profitable crop of
thoughts can no more be obtained with.
out work than can crop of corn OF
wheat. The knowledge gained by
diligent use of the odd hours which can
be spared from work will soon make
wise and useful man. True and useful
knowledge is not obtained like farm,
bought all in lump, but it is done by
adding idea to idea-one bit of knowl-
edge to-day and another tomorrow,
day after day and year after year, until
the sum total builds up monument of
practical wisdom which friends are kind
enough to attribute altogether to nat
ural endowment; whereas it was only q
faithful application of his time to storing
his mind with such knowledge as was
useful. And this is the way most great
men have become eminent for learning
and wisdom. knowledge is gained like
the miser gains his money-industriou
in gaining and persistent in boarding.
But different from money, man may
use his knowledge and hoard it at the
same time. Hoarded knowledge can
be kept bright by use and increase in
volume and usefulness.
Any man, no matter what position in
life, has time to SO cultivate his mind as
to command the homage and respect of
mankind. If a young man determines
to do it and bends all his energies to
that purpose he can adorn any profess
sion. There is more intellect needed on
the farm. Those who cultivate the soil
must at the same time improve the
mind. Farmers have entered new and
higher era, and he who wins in the
future must be able to combat error,
prejudice and ignorance, and overthrow
them as giants stride over pigmles.
knowledge and power are gained by
working for them, the same as money
by intelligent industry.-Iowa State
Register.

from this case given in the report of the

aged forty-four, mother of eight chill
dren. acute mania.'' The husband
when asked if he could suggest any
cause for her Illness, exclaimed with
much animation that he could not con-
ceive any reason. "She is a most do
mestic woman; is always doing some
thing for her children; is always at work
for us all ;anever goes outiof the house,
even to.church on Sunday !; never goes
gadding about at the neighbors' houses,
Or talking from one to another; has
been one of the best wives and mothers,
and was always at home," The. Super
intendent, commenting on the case,
makes this pungent remark: "This
appreciative husband could hardly have
furnished more graphic sdelineation
of,the causes of his wife's insanity had
he understood them, never so thor.
