Getting Into Society"

Nearly a hundred years ago, q home.
ly old gentleman, who had been a
mechanic end was the SON of a mechan-
ic, was sent as an ambassador from this
country to France. There can be no
doubt that he appreciated to the full
The splendor Of the French salons, and
the grace and charm of the society he
met there. Al weaker man, or one
with less tact. would have tried to imi-
tate and conform to it.
But Franklin knew his own founda-
lion, and stood firm on it. He kept
his simple, grave dignity, his Quaker
dress and his plain language. The re-
suit was that the enthusiastic Parisians
made demigod of him; men of the
highest rank paid him homage; beau
tIfuf women crowded about him, actu
ally cutting the bottoms from his coa,
for souvenirs.
Not one of the other ambassadors OF
The French capital at that time are re-
membered now, though they belong to
some of the noblest houses In Europe
while the advent of "the great Franklin
still remains a social tradition in Paris.
Americans who go abroad could study
the secret of Franklin's success with
profit. There is scarcely q capital Ia
Europe, where wealthy Americans are
not to be found 1in society,"" too often
pushing themselves by every means art
and snobbish expedient in their power
among people who are, as q rule, no
more cultured or better bred than them
selves, but who have titles. The result
Is, that they win contempt from foreign
ers, when simple self-respect WOULD
command their regard.
The same mistake is repeated with
infinite variations IN our own country.
The average American, whether old
or young, is seldom content with his
own social position or circle Of friends.
He is perpetually pushing himself into
some other place which he imaginos to
be more fashionable; he is necessarily
stung by snubs from people who are
infericr to himself. In short, he takes
volunt4i lilly the position of q iackey
when he might be an equal by simply
keeping his own place and bringing to
ldorn IL all the strength, grace anc
charm which he possesses.

ROSES.

sweet love, for the rose that you wore
Against your waist, q king might sigh;
Here on my troubled heart they he
Graded in rest, to rest no more.
Crushed, faded, but forever sweet,
An, was it fate or was it chance,
That shook them downward in the dance,
And dropped them gently at my feet!
Won did not dream, when we should part
You, in your stately loyeliness-
How close against my heart should press
The flowers that nestled on your heart
Alb, so l keep them. Half divine
Is the deep mystery they reveal;
And in my happy dreams l feel
The beating Of your heart on mine.

From the Current :
No man can view the present extra
ordinary building operations of Chicago
capitalists and conclude hat there is
any panic. The colossal enterprises in
the region of the new Board Of Trade
would have stopped In a moment had
the recent trade conditions been any
thing like those of 1879. Then every
body had been hurt. Now the prudent
men, who have waited patiently for q
solid time-who would never have acted
while the dangerous initiation of the las
four years was In progress-have taken
hold of the situation and are dispensing
millions Of cash. Ten-story structures
depend on economic periods of greater
extent than any a dull SUMMED Al
though great wealth and prosperity are
built primarily on good crops, still the
mental condition Of the host Of plan
ners and workers must greatly affect
the outlook. Perhaps Americans have
found themselves unable to keep upthe
high pressure Of which every foreigner
speaks in wonder. Whatever his stop
ped the boom, it has been a blessing.
There was no commercial sense In it.
Better q steady trade md a fair living
profit than q fortune in a month and q
beggar in a year, with a national con
vention Of United States thieves in Can
ana every time a fair count IS made.

~ApvENTURE wITH BUrFA1c
a ST, Louis Merchant HAS an EXCITING
Episode IN Manitoba.

- 0bg &aVuA1 8ht@N 81 -
Episode In Manitoba.
From the Manitoba Free Press.
On Tuesday a party, consisting of Mr.
Henry Kelly, merchant, of st. Louis.
Thos. Brown, of the Queens, and j
M. Ross, of the Tecumseh, drove out tc
Stony Mountain to see Mr.. Bedsons
menagerie and view the premises gem
orally. The buffalo attracted Mr. Kel-
ly's attention particularly. In an I'M
closure was an old bull, solitary and
alone. Mr.. Kelly thuoght he would
like to fraternize with the monarch OF
the plains, and pat him pleasantly on
the back. He accordingly leaped into
the ~incloseure with O cheerful smile
and approached the gloomy brute
with an easy nonchalance that made
him the envy of the spectators.
In the meantime MI. Ross and
Mr.. Brown, on the other side of the
fence, winked unostentatiously at each
other, and waited for developments.
Presently they came. Mr. Kelly loafed
dreamily up to the bull, called him q
pet name or two and patted him on the
back. it is said that the majestic ami
NAL actually turned pale at Mr.. Kelly's
~aaddacitty, hbut.the report lacks confirm
alton. The buffalo ey ed him for o mo-
ment or two with stoical indifference,
and then made a lightning pass at him
with his horns, one of which pierced
Mr.. Kelly's leg, and ripped off about
six inches of cuticle together with a lit
tie raw flesh. The scene wa instantly
changed. Mr.. Kelly struck for the
fence at a Maud s. gait, and the bull
gathered himself together for another
charge. In the meantime Mr.. Brown,
fearing mischief, to his friend, leaped
recklessly into the arena and grabbed
the animal by the tail. This distracted
the bulls attention from Mr..
Kelly and gave that gentleman
time to climb over the fence,
the trouble now was to get Mr..
Brown out of the dilemma. The bull
was getting warmed up, and had a de-
cidedly belligerent aspect. MI. Brown
dare not let go the animals tail, because
the bull would have instantly have
turned the other end towards him, ir
which csse Mr.. Brown felt that the sit
uation would be exceedingly awkward.
So he hung on to the tail, and every
time the bull turned Mr.. Brown would
turn, too. Meanwhile Mr.. Ross, Mr..
Kelly, Mr.. Bedson and old John took
up reserved seats on the fence, and en-
couraged Mr.. Brown to hold on, as IL
was only a question of o day Or two
when the bull would become tired out
Mr.. Brown did not require much encour-
agement, however. He felt that tine
necessities of the hour were such thai
be could not afford to let 60. He asked
fer help, but the audience on the fence
only Knocked him, and jeeringly men
toned that they would call back after
lunch and see how he was getting on,
Finally the now Infatuated animal an0
his tormentor approached the fence,
when. Mr.. Brown, to the utter disgust
of the spectators, suddenly let go of the
tail, and passed over the fence like
streak of lightning. He was saved, but
it took about q quarter of an hour and
a little of something else to restore hin
to his normal condition.

Ironing Collars.

Now that the wearing of linen col
lars is once more universal, few
lines on the proper way of ironing them
NAV be acceptable. The best means
to insure success is to use raw starch,
mixing it to Il smooth paste first, and
then adding as much wateras needed
for the articles without its being too
thin. Do not merely pass them
through the starch, but with very
clean hands, rub them as'if washing
them, but not too hard, SO that the
starch is well soaked in. Wiring them
or rather squeeze them out, not too
tightly, allowing no powder of the
starch to be seen on the surface. Have
ready clean cloth folded double and
long enough to let the collars lie flat.
These should be placed singly, and
the cloth folded down once on it, then
another collar, then the cloth folded
down again, and SO on till they are all
done. Fold the long roll then in half
and give it sharp twist, in which
shape it must be left for some hours.
If not left long enough they will not
iron so well. But they must on no ac-
count be allowed to dry. Have ready
some irons very hot, only just not to
scOrch. And let there be enough
irons not to have to wait for Il second
when the first is cool. These must be
very clean and with Il good polish.
TO insure the latter have piece OF
beeswaX, and when the iron is taken
off the fire rub it over with the bees
wax. and then rul the iron ON some
crushed salt and ii will run smoothly
Now on the ironing sheet lay clean
thin cloth, handkerchief will do. Lay
IA collar on this, fold over part of the
handkerchief, and iron quickly from
one end to the other to dry it a little
While still steaming take off the hand
kerchief, stretch the collar with the

hands, and iron briskly on the right
side straight across. If the iron is not
hot enough, or the collar too dry, the
starch will stick. When the right
side is smooth, without creases, turn
it on the other side and iron more
slowly so as to dry it thoroughly.
The irons require constant renewing,
as the damp cools them quickly. If
any starch appears on the iron it must
be scraped off with knife before go
ing back to the fire They heat better
on stove or kitchener than in front
of the fire, as often they are blackened
by jets of flame or smoke caused by a

A Cowboy Stopping Cattle Stam-
pedp.

One of the slickest things | saw in
my travels was cowboy stopping n
cattle stampede. A herd of about six
or eight hundred had got frightened
at something and broke away pellmell
with their tails in the air and the bull
at the head of the procession. But
Mr. Cowboy didn't get excited at all
when he saw the herd was going
straight for high bluff, where they
would certainly tumble down into the
cannon and be killed. You know that
when herd like that gets to going
they can't stop, no matter whether
they rush to death or not. Those in
the rear crowd those ahead, and away
they go. | wouldn't have given q
dollar a head for that herd, but the
cowboy spurred up his mustang, made
a little detour, came in right in from
of the herd, cut across their path at II
right angle, and then galloped leisure
ly on to the edge of that bluff, halted and
looked around at that wild mass of
beef coming right toward him. He
was as cool rs a cucumber, though |
expected to see him killed, and was SO
excited | could not speak.
Well, sir, when the leaders had got
within about Il quarter of y mile of
him | saw them try to slack up, though
they could not do ii very quick. But
the whole herd seemed to want to stop,
and when the COWS and steers in the
rear got about where the cowboy had
cut across their path | was surprised
to see them stop and commence to nib
BILE grass. There the whole herd stop
ped, wheeled, struggled back, and
went to fighting for chance to eat
where the rear guard was.
You see that cowboy had opened q
big bag of salt he had brought out
from the ranch to give the cattle, gal
loped across the herds course and
emptied the bag. Every critter snifleC
that line of salt, and, of course, thai
broke up the stampede. But ] tel
you it was queer sight to see tha
man out there on the edge of tina
bluff quietly rolling cigarette, wher
it seemed as if he'd be lying under TIVE
hundred tons of beef in about min
ute and a half. - Chicago Herald.

Government by Universal Suffrage

Some very ardent believers in popu-
lar government have been considera-
bly, nonplussed by the bad results of
universal suffrage in large cities like
New York. 1t is fact about which
there is no dispute that our mayors
and all who are elected on general
ticket are for the most part honest and
able, but that single districts generally
return very inferior representatives.
A really honest board of aldermen
have not been elected in New York for
fifty years, yet during that time that
city has not had more than three may
Ors who were not credit to it. The
same remark is true of the governors
and the legislators of the different
states. The former is generally man
of character and amcndable to public
opinion, but the legislators being ire
sponsiblc, are often bribcd to do things
which are hurtful to the public and of
value only to monopolists; hence ii
has been arranged that the cure for our
political woes is in adding power and
responsibility to executive officers, and
in reducing the authority of Legislators
and boards of all kinds. In accord
ance with this theory Mr.. Low was
made mayor of Brooklyn, with author
ity to make his own appointments OF
heads of departments without refer
ence to the board of aldermen. This
! has worked so we'll that the New York
legislature has given the same power
to the mayor Of New York. The OBJ
ect is to fix responsibility. If things
90 wrong we know who to blame
This principle will, in time, be recog'
nized in the constitutions of all oul
states and charters of our principal
cities. -DemOrcsfs Monthly for May.
