GOOD READING FOR YOUNG MEN.-The
late Edward Pierrepbon, who distinguished
himself as secretary of the American lega-
tion at Rome, once received letter from
his father which contained the following
sound advice:
Dress like gentleman ; never be pecu-
liar or flashy, but dress as becomes you, not
as becomes some one else. Never talk
about your expenses or your money, and
never be ashamed to live with economy; on
the contrary, be proud of it, Your business
now is to acquire knowledge, and you need
not be anxious to display yours especially.
to older men, but always try to learn OF
them.
Never say to another what it would be
unpleasant to have him say to you.
Remember that good manners are OF
great importance. Manners should be frank
and easy, with dignity.
Avoid fawning, toadying ways as you
would the foul fiend Never faWn to a
prince or swagger to peasant. BE courte-
Gus and manly everywhere and to every
body.
Let your manner be quiet; nothing is
more underbred than furried address
with a face wrinkled all over with grinning
delight.
The countenance can express pleasure
and welcome without idiotic contortions,
and when these appear, whether in the son
of duke or drayman, they are intensely
vulgar. -,
You cannot have good manners in the
drawing room if your habitual manner is
bad the habit will betray you; let the
habit be always good.
Far better that you look frigid even, than
that you degrade your countenance with
silly hilarity.
Be gentleman, feel like a gentleman,
and you will look and act like one.
Sometimes you will be neglected, and
your vanity may feel wounded. Never let
this annoy you. Be absolutely sure that in
due time all will come right, and that you
will have all the consideration that you
merit. No one can do you any permanent
injury but yourself The world is so con-
stituted that it is not in mems power to
withhold respect from lofty character, real
ability and good conduct.
You may be invited to ball or dinner
because you dance or tell good stories; but
no one since the time of Queen Elizabeth
has been made cabinet minister or lord
chancellor for such reasons.

FIRST INDICATIONS OF CONSUMPTION
It is not as extensively known as it ought
to be that in the large majority Of cases
consumption begins with slight cough in
the morning on getting up. After while
it is perceived at night on going to bed;
next there is an occasional coughing spell
some time during the night; by this time
there is difficulty Of breathing on any
slightly unusual exercise, or in ascendlnga
some surprise: "Why, it never used to
tire me sop Next there is occasional cough
ing after a full meal, and sometimes ''cast-
ing up.n Even before this person begins
to feel weak, while there is an almost i'm
perceptible thinning in flesh and gradual
dimnution in weight-harrassing cough,
loose bowels, difficult breathing, swollen
extremities daily fever and miserable
death. Miserable, because it is tedious,
painful and inevitable. How much it is
to be wished that the symptoms of this
hateful disease were more generally studied
and understood that it be detected in its first
insidious approaches and application be
made at once for its arrest and total eradlca-
ton; for certain it is that in, very many in
stances it could be accomplished.
It must be remembered that cough is not
an nvariabe attendant of consumption of
the lungs, inasmuch as persons have died,
and on examination large portion OF the
lungs was found to have decayed away, and
yet these same persons were never noticed
to have had cough or observed it them
selves, until within few days of death.
But such instances are rare, and an habitual
cough, on getting up and on going to bed,
may be safely set down as indicating con-
sumption begun.
Cough, as just stated, is originally cura-
tive process-the means which nature uses
to rid the body Of that which offends, of that
which was foreign to the system and ought
to be out; hence the folly of using medi-
cines to keep down the cough, as all cough
remedies sold in the shops merely do, with
out taking means at the same time for re-
moving that state of things which makes
cough necessary.-HaWs Journal Of Health.
Bas" No matter what may have been your
failures, no matter how black and ugly is
the face of the past as it scowls at you
through your recolections-you are not
lost. You have only to clear away the rub
bish from the foundation and begin again.
In this endeavor you are not alone. There
is not twig on tree which seeks growth,
there is not flower in the field that Graves
fragrance, unassisted by God.

THE WORLD WITHOUT SUGAR.-HaS
any housewife ever realized the alarming
condition of cookery in the benighted gen
erations before the invention of sugars?
1t is really almost too appalling to think
about. So many things we now look upon
as all but necessaries- puddings,
made dishes, confectionery, preserves, sweet
biscuits, jelies, cooked fruits, tarts, ETC.
were then practically impossible. Fancy
attempting nowadays to live a single day
without sugar; no tea, no coffee, no jam, no
cake, no sweets, no hot toddy before one
goes to bed; the bare idea of it is too ter
rible. And yet that was really the abject
condition of all the civilized world up to
the middle of the Middle Ages. Horace's
punch was sugarless; the gentle Virgil new
er tasted the congenial cupof afternoon tea;
and Socrates went from his cradle to his
grave without ever knowing the flavor of
peppermint BULLS eyes. How the children
spent their Saturdays as, or their weekly
Oalous, is profound mystery. TO be sure,
people made honey, but honey is rare, dear
and scanty; it can never have filled one
quarter of the place that sugar fills in our
modern affections. Try for a moment to
realize drinking honey with ones coffee,

ONE OF THE sADDEST HISTORIES
I know Of Her father was wealthy before
the fire. but his loss was total by that great
calamity. His health was never good and
he soon broke down entirely and died,
leaving his wife and nlne-year-old
daughter. The widow took small cottage
near my house and we became quite neigh
bOrly, the daughter and my little girl being
the warmest of childish friends. The poor
woman had hard struggle for existence,
and finally permitted her daughter to go
into a store, when she had finished high
school course. That was three years
ago. That girl was ruined by her en-
ployer's son, who had taken fancy
to her winning ways and pretty
face, and under promise of marriage ac-
complished his wicked purpose. The
scOundrel then refused to keep his promise,
saying it would spoil his business prospects,
and the girl, out of her great love for him,
absolutely refused to prosecute or allow the
matter to become public, although urged to
do so by her friends. A little boy that
lived year was the sOlace OF the girls
heart for time. Then her mother died,
and finally the child. Her ruin was COM
plete then. With broken heart no means
of support and no property, she be-
came the mistress of wealthy
gentleman who took her to
Europe, and finally cast her off.
Since then she has led the worst possible
life. She told me month ago she was go
ing to St. Louis, and said at the time if l
only dared I would commit suicide; but I
am afraid! Poor child She's only one Of
dozen such cases that I know of person
ally. And how many there are that have
never heard of heaven only knows" By
this time the train had arrived at head
quarters. and while the officer went in to
report, the scribe boarded car, and was
soon in the midst Of troubled dream, in
which brawny negro was brandishing a
club trying to make puny white-faced
individual dance clog. CHENEY.

THE SWEET GIRL Graduate.

She read the valedictory; twas deep and an
alytic.
And scored splendid victory o'er every carp
ing critic;
But much fear her logic clear and all her
moods and lenses,
We're lost upon my ist'ning ear and my en-
raptured senses.
For when she talked of botany, and leaves and
grass and rushes,
only saw the roses red that mingled in her
bushes
And when she spoke of history, and turnedits
lamp-stained pages,
To me the only mystery was what the dear
girls age is.
She wandered off on plus z, on cubes and
squares grew fiowery,
It set me thinking what might be the figure of
her dowry.
So pondertng down in the parquet I'd set my
heart to WOO her,
When she PICKED up q huge bouquet some
other fellow xhrew her;
; Tookout-a a note, blushedrosy red, smootheds
all its piuhy creasee,
While over my devoted head my castle went
to pieces.

The Gal Was Safe.

Detroit Free Press.
They sat in doorway on Monroe avenue
yesterday, and while their inside hands
were clasped, each outside one held ban
ana. Now and then, at regular intervals,
up went their hands in unison, and a
straight inch of banana, peel and all, was
cut off by their front teeth and passed
along back to be reduced to pulp and swal-
lowed.
Once or twice the young man sighed:
"Yum! yum?"
'sYum! yum!" promptly echoed the girl,
squinting her left eye as the peeling swal-
lowed hard.
BY and by a pedestrian with a bald head
and a faded look came along, and as he
caught sight of the pair he stopped and
surveyed them, and finally said:
ssYoung man, don't you know enough to
shuck bananap"
The young man let go of her hand, rose
up and, advancing close to the inquirer, he
whispered in his ear:
''Durn your buttons, but when 10 cents
has got to buy luncheon for two dye 'spose
Pm going to stand by and see half of it
wasted! A gal as kin crack walnut in her
teeth and eat potatoes with the hide on

and ardent lips were aglow with color,
while her glossy brown hair shed pearly
spray as would the feathers of any other
duck. Every plump white curve which
outlined the ethereal beef of this robust
young mortal was line of beauty. Every
tint was a reflection from the palette OF
morning. Straightway the woman of un-
sightliness undresses even more than the
radiant vision ever dared to reveal in pub
lie, and waddles in the water. Unabashed

A SUMMER NIGHT.

Yonder sleep the lilies white
Through the starlit Summer night;
Fitful breezes rise and fall,
Firefies flash and wild birds call.
Here the river winds along,
Deep and silent, swift and strong;
Mighty river-toward the sea
Float my fancies forth with thee.
On the sea the white ships go,
Molseless, winged, to and fro;
10 and fro and DER and DER,
Fancies float from shore to shore.
Happy fancies, they. to know

SHIPS that sail and seas that lie
Silent meath a silent sky.

For the children there are many pretty

ever, whether the beribloned and fowered
child of fashion will enjoy his little splash
nearly as much as does the naked and sum

hours unclothed and indulges in derisive
gesticulations at passing trains. He is

of several explanations. There are philos-
opherS who bravely maintain that man is in
his nature essentially amphibious, and these
knowing authorities support their assertion
by evidence which, translated into vulgar
parlance, reads, Drinks like a
fish" With them all men are
suckers" ''gudgeoes" or ''sharks. ;"
Others again hold that cleanliness is the
pre-eminent characteristic of the highest
human culture and that in proposition as
man ascendS from barDariSm upward, he
manifests the degree of his refinement by a
desire to live As is well known, certain
religious organization, including within its
membership many estimable members of
society, sholds extremely advanced views
lpon this subject.
All of these attempts at elucidation, how
ver fail to explain why it is that woman,
popularity supposed to be sensitive flower,

Of all is that these unsightly scarecrows
never get themselves drowned. According
to the special correspondents. it is only the
lovely and accomplished decollete who
sinks out of sight beyond the tumbling
breakers.
1t is evident that the fish and mermaid
explanation is invalid as regards women
who have the vulgarity to be born homely.
1t is unnecessary to look any farther, how
ever. A recent adventure upon the beach
of popular resort not far from St. Paul

women will chiefly adopt costume resem-
bling somewhat the ancient and honorable
''bloomer" in bagginess. Sensible, yet not
necessarily homely, females will wear most
anything or nothing while in the water,
having gossamer cloak and attendant

Among gentlemen the styles will not be
quite as varied. One of the most striking
and common will be sleeveless and in
frilled combination, serenely simple yet Sc
elusive. Large mgainly, blue and distorted
feet will be worn raw, as usual.
