Ways to Become Attractive.

A Partisan newspaper has been teach.
ing its lady readers chow to be attrac.
tive" Surely the readers of the Vie
Parisienne ought to be in no need OF
advice such as the following: "Look
confident and Indifferent; express your
self simply and with voice as sweet as
possible. Be keenly alive to everything
tnat passes, yet appear absent minded
know as much as possible,s yet please by
asking questions. Having read every.
thing, appear ignorant; hear all, always
express surprise; desiring everything,
ask for nothing. Be light hearted to
preserve your beauty; be indulgent to
attract sympathy"-and so on. These
aws-sorne evidently notwithstanding
laws-are laid down as absolute, with
one exception. "Blush neither for shame
nor for pleasure" to which is added, IF
you can help it." Verilyj the good old
saying holds good still: III .taut sovf
tr;r pour etre 6elle." There are, however,
some clauses which might with equal
advantage be applied TO both sexes
For instance: "Do not force wit; always
listen atteplively; be charitable for your
own satisfaction; be frank and you need
never be afraid Of the truth /; see things
ut u glance; judge quickly, and think
more quickly still in order TO keep cool
head" But wise as these laws are, and
however much the world might be bene
6led by a more general application oI
them, they belong decidedly TO the cate
CORY OF precepts more easily preached
than practiced.-PdN Nall Gazette.

How to Manage q Mau.

Nothing on earth fetches q man like a
good dinner and we'll dressed wife pre-
Siding. The husband who can look for
ward to such state of things every day
of his life will never tire of home, and
the wife who studies his comfort will
have little difficulty in managing him
according to her will. Men are grega
rious animals, and will wander in spite
of all allurenents, but they are selfish
enough to remain where they are best
treated, and by taking little trouble fox
a year or two of married life the years
that follow will, as q rule, find the hus-
band always glad to 60 back to the pretty
home where smiles await him and the
dinner Ispoke of. There are 40 many
women who object to being "bossed," as
they call it. My dear ladies, you can
always be boss if you take the. trouble.
BY giving in you get your own way as
you never would by fighting for it. And,
after all, it is better TO feel you respect
your husband so much that 10 give in to
him is nota difficulty.
Nine men out of ten are manageable
if you GO the right way about 1t, and one
great point is to act after marriage
Just as you did before. Argument and
contradiction are vital enemies to married
peace. Should you wish for anything
particularly, don't insist upon it after
refusal. Some women are persistent, aud
ask: "Why hay I not? Why won't
you do as I tell you?" aud irritste the
man. Rather bide your time, and make
an extra good dinner of his tavoriie
dishes, put bow on of the color he
likes, make home and yourself sweeter
than ever. You'll get it sure, even it
yoll have 10 wait. Also, when you want
him to do any particular thing which
you know will be tor his good, for hea"
ems sake do not say "Do it." Rather
drop hint that you think so and 80
would be good thing to do. Get him
interested, aud then let the subject drop.
venture to say that in short time that
man will do precisely as you wished T; be
will never permit you to think that he
has traded the least on your common
sense.-San Francisco Neics Letter.

To Mill on Horseback.

- II q ~. d. 7 E Is
Down in Arkansas they still send a
BOY to mill on horseback.
s.There are few sights more suggestive
of hopeful patience than that of boy
sitting on q bag Of wheat that is fallen
from Ills horse. He starts to mill Joy.
1usiy., The great event in the life Of q
young country boy is to be entrusted with
milling expedition: He sleeps very
little the night before the journey, so
active is his mind concerning the pros
.oective tip. His father helps him on;
the horse and he sits on the bag as proud
of his posi- lion as king is of his throne.
Every object along the road interests
nim. He plucks the blooms from the
,iogwood, aud almost falls off when the
f,orse reaches around to bite himself.
He rides iuto The creek to let the horse
drink, and spits at the minnows that
swim around. After he goes up the
oank, on the opposite side Of the stream,
aud pursnes his course along the road,
he notices with alarm that the bag is
slipping to one side. He sits still further
over to make the bag balance, but yet he
is not satisfied, for it keeps ,on sliding
to one side, ani at last falls off. He
cannot restrain histears, and though he
knows that he cs.nnot lift one end, yet he
Jugs at the bag. The old horse snorts,
ni6bles the grass and lashes the boy
across the eye with his tail, "Whoa, you
lid fool l' and the disconsolate little fel
low weeps afresh. He cannot leave the
rag. fearing that scme one will slea! it.
he must wait the tardy coming of a
a,svr by. He hears the sound of hoois
aud he listens intent,y, while the swell
ing buds of hope burst into full bloom.
He is doomed to disappointment, for the
horse has no rider. Thu2der rumbles in
The distance and he will ge. wet. AT
last he sees an old negro coming along.
His hearl beats high with hope. The
old. negro turns aside and takes by
path The boy shouts, but the old negro
ioes not hear him. Another hour, that
seems an age, draws itself along. He
nears wagon. He is almost wild with
Joy. The driver, though surly fellow,
Tits the bag up, and the boy, happy and
thankful, is rescued just ut a time when
be does not think that he could stand it
q moment longer"

A Corner in Cats.

Lamp.lighter David Morse of this
town repeated to reporter, the other
day, very queer story told him by his
father fifty years ago. Living in the
town of Warwick, towards the close of
The eighteenth century, was an eccentric
individual named Aaron Leeper, who
had wonderful faculty for accumulatlng
money. At that time Orange County,
and especially the rural districts, was
but sparsely settled, and everybody for
miles around knew each others business
and were on terms of familiarity. One
day the neighbors of Leeper were sur
prised to see him erecting large, low
building, covering upwards of an acre of
land, but for what object he intended the
building he refused to divulge. After it
was completed be began to purchase all
the cats in the country, and for weeks he
travelled for miles in every direction,
bringing home wagon load after wagon
load of male and female cats. He paid
high price for the cats aud always in.
sisted on buying all that a customer had,
otherwise he would not purchase Mt all.
Finally he had collected in his corral
upwards of eight hundred cats, and the
nightly concerts which they held could
oe heard for long distance in every
direction, and the fame of Leeper as q
cat farmer became known throughout the
entire section.
Everybody supposed that it was only
another of Leeper's eccentricities and
never dreamed that he was making a
grand "corner on cats" for his own ag
grandizement and they therefore cheer.
fully parted with their house, pets and
pocketed the liberal sum which lie paid
tor them. They found out different
before the end of the year. Rats and
mice increased in vast numbers and their
ravages On granaries, cellars and cup
boards were so great that the rodents
became really pestilence throughout
the land. 1t was then that everybody
turned to Leeper for relief, and the de
maud for ratters and mousers was so
urgent that he was able to place fancy
figures on his stock (which by that time
had been augmented by many additions
10 the feline circle) and be disposed ol
the entire lot at private sale and made
more clear money than had ever before
been made in this section on single
farm. After this enterprise people did
not think Leeper 50 very eccentric after
all.-Port Jeruis (Pa.) Gazette.

Georgia on Prohibition.

Judge T. J. Simmons, of the Macon
Circuit, held court in Barlow County re
Gently, and in his charge to the Grand
Jury remarked that he had learned with
pleasure that Barlow County had recent
y voted whiskey out of its borders. ,He
said: II urge upon you, gentlemen, to
see that this law is respected and en-.
forced. If you will support it by a
hearty public sentiment and help to
punish those who violate it, you will soon
nave very little use for grand juries and
criminal courts in your Cuurty. Ihave
presided as Judge iu almast every section
Of Georgia, and l fnd that violations OF
The criminal law are nearly three fourths
AS great in those counties where whiskey
is relaiied as in the counties where pro.
hibition is enforced and respected. The
kind of whiskey now used seems to give
men homicide mania. When under its
influence they are not satisfied with hist
aud skull fighting, but use Implements
likely TO produce death. Men may still
continue to buy whiskey and drink it in
spite of your prohibitory law. They will
no doubt send to Atlanta and get it'by
the jugful. but it is better that it should
come only by the jugful than by the bar
rel and hogshead. The evil influence of
bar rooms and bar room associations are
also avoided. When men buy whiskey
by the jugfal and carry it to their homes

wives and children they are not so likely
to drink to excess. nor do they so FIRE

retail liquor shops. have noticed that
the dry counties in the Macon Circuit
have comparatively no criminal business,
aud that grand juries have an easy time
I, is your duty to look carefully to the
enforcement of this law and see that any
violations Of it are speedily punished"
