A somewhat singular story about a
Younger son of the duke of Argyle Is
going the rounds. 1t seems he wished to
marry an untitled lady, and not unnatu.
rally asked his fathers consent to that
step. The duke replied that personally he
had no objection TO the match; but in
view of the fact that his eldest son had
espoused a daughter of the queen, he
thought it right to take her majesty's
pleasure on the subject before expressing
bis formal approval. Her majesty, thus
appealed to, observed that since the death
Of the prince consort she had been in the
habit of consulting the duke Of Sake
Coburg on all family affairs. The matter
was therefore referred 10 Duke Ernest.

the views of the prime minister. Happily
for the now anxious pair of lovers the
iron chancellor had no wish to consult
anybody, and decided that the marriage
might take place.

looking at things, girls who "work for Il
living find themselves treated with
courtesy and respect To be sure, some
narrow minded people seem to think that
working girl is below par in genteel
society; but it seems to me that these
people who earn their own subsistence are
the only independent ones about us. 1t is
no degradation to either mon or woman
to be honorably employed; on the contrary,
always feel respect for young girl
who thus takes her fortune into her own
hands and quietly works for living. l

of your milk and honey affairs who idle
away the hours of life, too lazy to work,

sons, exert on the sensitive organization OF
young children. Their brain and nerves
are exquisitely delicate, and it is period
of such rapid growth that the power OF
nutrition is taxed in supplying material
for the formation of perfect tissue. The
thousand objects that daily attract the
keen observation Of the child, the news
words and phrases, the nursery rhyme
and tales and games, afford stimulus
enough to quicken the development of the
mental facilities. Abundant outdoor ex.
ercise, leisurely meal times. and long
hours of unbroken sleep, are absolutely
necessary to promote appetite, digestion
and nutrition. The one thing certain is
that any study or-any attendance at school
before the child can bear it without effort
or fatigue, is not only useless but hurtful,
and will surely retard the education and
lessen future Vigor and capacity of mind.

A DOLLAR Mechanics, artisans
and laborers must learn that it is not the
SO or the $50 per week that we receive
and spend that counts in sickness or old
aoe. but the 81 that we save. As evidence
| will name few instances in Davenport
could name many Of the dollar saving
people. Some years ago, MIR. heyser, Il
Swede, rough carpenter. with Il family
came to Davenport with 81 on hand. He
worked for II small capitalist with large
credit, who built for himself to rent or to
sell. Mr.. keyser at first received 81 10 II
day. which was in time increased HIS
employer assisted him in purchasing u
home; he saved and built several small
houses, and within eleven years sold out
and purchased large and well stocked
farm in Kansas for $4,000 cash. During
the same period Prussian laborer, John
Litze, arrived with his family OF tive and
a few dollars. He went to work tor the
same capitalist, and is now working on
his 18th year with his fist employer. who
purchased for him the half block on Ripley
and Thirteenth streets, where he has two
fine dwellings, and one OF Davenport :
best physicians is his tenant. He has
raised his family and is clear of debl, and
$40 900 will not purchase John Lltzs's
possessions. The question is, did those
workingmen build up The capitalist or ana
the capitalist build up the workngman to
indie ependence? Or, were the bench
mutual! In no other country on the
globe could those men have settled and
reached their present Independent position.

Up the mountains, steep and high,
You can stand within the valley
While the multitudes 20 by;
You can chant ia happy measures
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer,
They Will not forget the song.
If you have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command,
If You cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted.
O'er the erring you can weep,
You can be true Disciple,
Sitting at the Savior's feet.

Prove yourself soldier, too:

B3orH MEMORIES The death of the
late j. b Booth leads to the remark that
the Booths have filled wider place in
history than any other dramatic family.
1t is evident, however, that their day is
past, and out ofso large and gifted circle
only one is left to maintain the family
reputation. refer, of course, to Edwin,
for though there is another son living in
Philadelphia. he has never attracted notice.
The senior Booth was a native of London,
and mis- father has been an enthusiastic
radical during the political disturbances
.occasioned by the once famous John
Wilkes. Hence he displayed his love OF
liberty by naming his son Junius Bruus,
and the latter improved on the paternal
example. since he named one of his sons
Jupius Brutus and another John Wilkes.
The latter, who has become infamous AS
he assassin of Lincoln was one of the
handsomest men of his day, but the orig.
inal John Wilkes was notorious for his
ugliness.
The Booth family was noted for person
al beauty as well as for histronic
talent. The senior Junius Brutus Booth,
though deficient in stature, had very fine
countenancc, but in his latter days it was
marred by Incorporate habits, to which
was added the blow Inflicted by Tom
Flynn. The latter was fencing with Booth
who, being under the influence of strong
drink, drove him to the wall and would
have run him through had he not dashed
forward and delivered knock down blow.
1t broke Booths nose, and altered his
expression without improving it.
Booth was very proud, not only of his
fine looking sons, but also that he was at
tho head OF dramatic family. Junius
Brutus was favorte with his father, but
never equalled paternal expectation. He
had, however, a better faculty for making
money than his more gifted brother, and
was at one time rich. His dramatic ven-
lures, however, were sometimes disaster
Gus, and after so many vicissitudes it is
hardly probable that there is much left.
The Booths may ali die poor, and the line
may become extinct, but they have won 1

1t has been particularly noticed lately
that the daughters of the prince and
princess of Wales are always dressed with
great neatness and with charming sim
plicity. 1t would be well if the mothers
of many of the other children, and what
Lord Beaconsield termed "unfedged girls,
who are constantly seen about, were to
initiate the princess in this respect, and
array their offspring in quiet style,
which would be more in accordance with
their years than the gaudy costumes which
their distempered iancies leads them to
think becoming.
