THE HOUSEHOLD.

A True Wildness is thing
girls cannot afford. Delicacy is a
thing which cannot be lost OF found.
No art can restore to the grape its
bloom. Familiarity without conf
dence, without regard, is destructive
to all that makes woman exalting and
ennobling. 1t is the first duty of
woman to be a lady. Good breeding
is good sense. Bad manners in
woman is immortality. Awkwardness
may be ineradicable. Bashfulness is
constitutional Ignorance of etiquette
is the result of circumstances. All
can be condoned and not Danish man
or woman from the amenities of their
kind. But self-possessed, unshrink
ing and aggressive coarseness OF de
meanor may be reckoned as States
prison offense, and certainly merits
that mild form of restraint called
Imprisonment for life.
1t is shame for woman to lecture
on manners. 1t is bitter shame
that they need it. Do not be re-
strained. Do not have impulses that
need restraint. Do not wish to dance
with the Prince unsought; feel differ
emily. Be sure you confer honor.
Carry yourself so loftily that men
will look up to you for reward; not
at you in rebuke. The natural senti
ment of man toward woman is rever
ence He loses a large means of
grace when he is obliged to account
her being to be trained in propriety.
A mans ideal is not wounded when
a woman fails in worldly wisdom;
but if in grace, in tact, in sentiment,
in delicacy, in kindness, she would
be found wanting, he receives an
inward hurt Gail Hamilton.

THE UNFORTUNATE CASHIER.

English papers tell an amusing
story of well known banker of
Liege, Belgium. A short time ago
he gave a little dinner party to which
ten guests had been hidden, beside
himself and wife, making twelve in
all. They were just about to sit down
when in dropped friend from the
Antipodes and invited himself 70 din
ner, thus making the fatal number
thirteen. The banker to prevent i'll
luck, rushed down stairs to his office,
found the cashier about to leave for
the evening, dragged him upstairs,
fitted him with dress coat, and led
him triumphantly into the drawing
room amid the applause of the re-
lieved guests. three of whom declared
they would not sit down to the best
dinner ever served If there were
thirteen at the table. AT that mo-
ment the bell rang, and note was
brought for one of the guests whose
wife had suddenly fallen i'll, and who
consequently was unable to remain.
Thirteen again.! Gloom and despair;
and tho cashier, finding himself the
Jonah of the evening, volunteered to
depart. The banker saw him down
stairs. and was expressing his regrets
when-loy - the family doctor heaved
in sight. Him tho host secured. aud,
happy in being able tn offer the hos
pitalities of his table to his kind
hearted and sorely tried employee,
the three returned to the drawing
room. Dinner was ordered to be
placed upon the table, but, just as all
was ready, the hostess who was in
delicate health. and who had been un-
duly excited by all the untoward
events, tainted dead away, and had
to be put to bed. Thirteen again
This time there was nothing for the
cashier but to go and dine with what
appetite he might at the nearest res
taurant.

ANACORTES w. T. SATURDAY, MARCH "a 1888
JACK, THE BUTCHERS DOG.

Jack was a good natured dog, and
though some of the children in the
neighborhood were afraid of him,
and would run home when they saw
him coming, he was really very kind
and amiable, and only full of fun and
fond of play.
One bright chilly morning, seeing
little boy dragging his sister on a
sled, Jack concluded to have some
fun himself, SO he rushed out, grasped
the rope of the sled in his mouth,
pulled it from the boys hand, and
tore down the street as fast as his
legs would carry him. The little girl
screamed at the top of her voice, and
made great effort to keep her place
on the sled, but Jack ran 50 fast that
at last she was upset, and rolled over
into snow drift.
Jack returned TO the butchers shop
dragging the sled, and left it at the
door. He seemed to be delighted
with what he had done, and often per-
formed the same trick afterward. At
last the older boys of the neighbor
hood would send one of their number
usually the smallest of the party
past the store with sled on purpose
to bring Jack out. Jack always came
with rush, and seized the rope,
while the boys would jump on the
sled, and Jack would drag the whole
party.
One day 50 many boys got on the
sled, and made it so heavy, that Jack
evidently thought the joke was get
ting tiresome, SO he dropped the rope,
and with much dignity walked home.
This seemed to cure him of his
fancy foi dragging sleds. Often the
boys would send little sister past
the butchers shop with a sled to
tempt Jack But it was of no use !;
Jack would have nothing further to
do with the business. Harper's

THE DIVISION OF LABOR ILLUSTRATED

When NJ. Turquet was the French
Under Secretary of State for Fine
Arts, he one day visited the manu-
factory at Sevres In one room he
noticed the light was very dull and
dingy.
"Why, sir" said NJ Turquet to the
manager, "these windows are shock
ingly dirty"
so they are, outside. But see how
they shine inside" -.
"Well. let them be washed outside. y
"Impossible. That's not our bust
ness. The exterior of the factory
comes under the Department OF
Public Works Only the interior be
longs to the Department of Fine
Arts
The childishness of these Govern
ment officials reminds one OF the
story told of the two Office boys in
the EMPLOY Of certain newspaper,
who divided their work with most
scrupulous discrimination. One oil
them, being asked by the editor to
go out and get new jug of ink, he
looked up with an innocent stare ol
surprise, and answered;
"Oh! don't get the ink; William
gets the ink; l get the mucilage."

ARTISTS MODELS.
A Few Samples from the Stock on Hand in
New York.
A YOUNG RETAINER WHO MAKES
HIMSELF GENERALLY USEFUL.

Among the academy models some
time since was the son of banker in
Wall street, who had failed during a
financial crisis. Later, the young
model obtained position in down
town bank, but such was his pride in
his physique and his interest in art
that he continued to pose in the
evening classes. Another model,
valued for his fine muscular develop
ment, was blacksmith by trade.
Another was a house painter, who,
during the winter months, when all
of his trade are thrown out of en-
ployment, supported himself in this
fashion. Still another, noted for his
fine development, was a German ath-
lete. One model, well known in his
day at the academy, was a half
breed Indian, employed as coachman
in wealthy family. In his leisure
hours he posed at the academy, and
became popular model, but one day
his employer discovered his artistic
bias, and forced him to desist. He
has since returned to the equine
sphere he adorned, and resides in an
inland.city. Another temporary model
was the son of prominent artist in
another city. Many studies of Arabs
executed in New York during the
past few years have had for their
model negro attached to the acad
emy whose head and figure offered a
perfect type of that race. A pros
porous manufacturer of picture frames
IN an interior town, having failed
in business, became model in New
York. A few artists in New
York have their models acting also
as domestics or studio -retainers. This
is foreign custom imported by ar
fists who have received their school
ing abroad. Under these circum-
stances, sort of comradeship arises
between the artist and his faithful
model, which has its pathetic as well
as it's grotesque side, since the re-
muneration of this model is apt to
depend upon the success or failure
of the artist There is a colony of
young artists in New York which pos
sesses retainer known to the world
as Sammy" youth of muscular
type, with blond mustache and hair
and fresh complexion. His face
and figure fit him for all spheres of
model life. One day he poses as a
stalwart fisherman, in pea-jacket,
disreputable hat and high sea boots.
Another week, in a dress suit bor-
rowed for the occasion, he figures as
ballroom gallant. with one arm en-
circling the waist OF bald pated
lay figure, arrayed in sijken robes,
likewise borrowed, into whose glass
eyes he gazes with an expression of
deepest tenderness. He has even
appeared as a bold horseman seated
astride wooden chair, which was
placed ON a table, tightly clutching
two pieces of clothes-lin for reins,
with his body inclined at the angle
necessary to imply furious gallop-
ing on the part of his fiery steed, and
his coat tail spread ont and fastened
to the wall behind to illustrate the
action of the wind. In addition to
his accomplishments as model, this
young man does everything an ar
fists henchman can be expected to
do in the line of general usefulness.

People Who Have Won Renown by Making
Hogs of Themselves.
TNO WOMEN WHO ATE BETWEEN
THEM FIFTY-FINE EARS OF CORN.

The eating wager now under way
in New York, of two quails a day for
a month. revives the following remin
iscences;
For many years there lived in
Albany or Waterford, man named
Peter Ellis. or Ellison. He died
about three years ago At the time
Of his death he must have been sew
enty years of age. The writer saw
him at Saratoga Springs in the sum
mer of 1876. He was then a liTge,
loose made, big boned man, not much
under six feet in height. He was
known as most enormous eater. A
dressed turkey, weighing twenty one
pounds, was roasted, and on a wager
Ellison ate the whole Of it at one
sitting, or within about the usual
time occupied at dinner, together
with bread and some kind of wine.
A dozen years ago New York man
made an offer in the way of bet to
the late John Morrissey that he could
produce a man who would eat a
twenty three pound dressed turkey
roasted, and, when he named Peter
Ellison as his man, Mr.. Morrissey
said, Il know the man." and the
offered bet was not accepted.
At the time alluded to, when the
writer met Peter Ellison, the old man
related the particulars of an eating
match between another and himself,
which took place many years before
at Snediker's, on Long Island, then
a we'll known roadside inn much fre-
quented by lovers of the horse. The
dinner was to consist of broiled spring
chickens, bread and wine. The
chickens were to be split open at the
back and broiled whole, or, as Peter
termed it, lin spread-eagle style
and each man to take the half given
him by the carver and referee. Eli
son ate thirty two halves. being six
teen chickens, and won the bet.
In the spring of 1S45, at the season
of making maple sugar, a student of
the seminary at Manchester, VT,
Albert Pettibone, then nineteen years
old, after eating what he wanted OF
hot maple sugar at the sugar house
of his father, in that town, finished uI

NEVER MIND THE BUTCHER.

1t was during the peninsula cam
paign, just before the battle of
Williamsburg, the commanding Off
Ger had issued an order forbidding
foraging under penalty of severe
punishment. A section Of artillery
had been supported by the Fifty
sixth New York Volunteer Infantry
in little skirmish late in the even
ing, and owing to some misunder-
standing the infantry and artillery
were left on the picket line till late
hour without any rations.' Darkness
had closed in and a farm yard in the
vicinity offered too great tempta-
ton for the hungry artillerymen to
resist Soon the fragrant aroma of
roast pig drew more than one officer
to the vicinity of the improvised
barbecue. Among others, was Colonel
Van Wyck, the senior officer in com
mand. He.was asked by one of the
improvised camp cooks if he would
partake of the menu. Certainly
replied the Colonel, and with sharp
ened appetite he at once took hold OF
the luscious roast porcine ribs. Sud
denly staff officer rode upon the
scene. With an unmistakable French
twang he said: with de compli-
ments of de General commanding, ]

Tell the General commanding,
roared Colonel Van Wyck, stretch
ing his tall form to its utmost alti
tude, that Colonel Van Wyck never
inquiries who the butcher is when he
sits down to a gentleman's table"
The staff officer was the Comte dc
Paris of General McClellan's staff
No further inquiry was ever insti
tuted into the mystery of the forag
ing expedition.

The term blackguard has a very
commonplace origin. In all great
houses, particularly in royal resi-
dences, there were number OF mean
and dirty dependents, whose office it
was to attend the woodyards, sculler-
les, etc. OF these-for in tho lowest
depths there were lower still-the
most forlorn wretches seem to have
been selected to carry coal to the
kitchen, halls, and other apartments;
To this smutty regiment who attended
the progresses and rode in the carts
with the pots and kettles. which, with
every other article of furniture, were
then moved from palace to palace,
the people, in derision, gave the name
'blackguards," term since become
sufficiently familiar.

to pass by their defects and take no
