Women.

A bachelor, writing to the PaH-MaH
Gazette, thinks the best hour to judge
of woman is in the morning. "What
is the most favorable time to see wo-
man in order to compose character
synopsis? Decidedly, 1 think, at break
fast and during the forenoon. AS
general rule, if she looks well then she
is in good health; if she dresses neatly
she is tidy, and if she is full of projects
for a mornings work, and executes a
reasonable number, she possesses mental
activity and bodily energy. Beware OF
the young woman who complains of be-
ing cold in the morning, who looks
sickly, who comes down late, who ap-
pears to have dressed hastily, who Ian
guishes whole forenoon over couple
of letters to an absent sister or school
fellow. No matter how bright and ami
mated she may appear further on, avoid
her. Lead her not to suburban villa;
engage no matrimonial apartments. She
will not make good wife. She will
be a bore and Slattern."

They Were Not Man and Wife.

There are some queer couples in this
world, remarked a Dearbon street real
estate agent. 'The other day a man
and woman called to see me about rent
ing a flat on the North Side. The wo-
man did the talking, and turned to see
the man for confirmation or corroba-
ton. He always agreed with her, and
he did it very meekly.
'Well,' says the woman, finally, Il
will give you S25 for the fiat, won't we

"Yes'm, replied the man.
"And I'll pay my rent promptly, too,
won't we John?'
"Yes'm.'
''And I'll take good care of the
house, won't I, John2'
"Yes'm.'
''But,' inquired the agent, as is usual
in such cases, fare you not man and
wife?'
'sMan and wife!' exclaimed the wo-
man, sharply, indeed we are not, are
we, John?'
"No'm.'
"Whatl' says I, mot man and wife! !
"Not much. I'd have you know that
in this family we are wife and man,
amt we, John?'

Defective Memories.

He was busy man and she was So
ciety woman. One evening he suddenly
looked up from his paper and said;
''By the way, didn't we have baby IN
this house about the time Midland

she said, "Oscar, was born the night OF
the Irving reception" "Boy, was 1t"

She touched bell, servant appeared,
and she ordered Oscar to be brought
into the presence of his sire. Instead
of whom the weeping nurse appeared
alone, and with many tears confessed
that the infant Oscar had been kipnapped
in the park six weeks before, and that
the most careful search, aided by ad-
vertisements in the daily papers, had
thus far failed to reveal his whereabouts.
Thus we see that wealth is no barrier
to sorrow, and into the homes OF the
rich trouble creeps with its stealthy
tread, and sometimes breaks up whole
evening of enjoyment.

while Judge Tracy was on the cir
cult, going from court his trace broke.
The Judge spent over half hour trying
to mend it, but to no purpose. His
patience was exhausted, and he express
ed his vexation in words. A negro
came along, and the judge told him OF
his trouble. The negro let out the trace,
cut hole in it, and the job was done.

Good Housekeeping.

VOOU HOueehesP"J'
Coffee is, with good reason, favor
ite morning beverage, and, happily,
there are but few who cannot take it,
for il is a valuable addition to the diet.
1t is nutritious, and acts upon most per-
sons as a gentle stimulant, imparting
energy in action, and producing feel
ing of restfulness after great fatigue.
1t also prevents waste of tissue, and en-
ables people to undergo long and pro-
tracted labor upon insufficient food.
This has been tested where endurance
has been tried to its uttermost, in Arc
tic expeditions, in long and toilsome
army marches, and in caravans which
plunged into the mysterious dangers OF
the tracklesS deserts, and which were
sustained by coffee through every ex-
posure and deprivation of other food.
Let the coffee urn, therefore, send up 4
its fragrant steam as an invocation to
Hygeia. 1t is pretty and pleasant, if
you can afford it, to make the coffee at
table, either in French biggin or a
''Vienna cohee-pot, over an alcohol
lamp. But it is good enough for NOR
tails brought smoking hot from the
kitchen fire. A good and economical
way of making coffee is to put the prop
er amount for the family, heaping ta-
blespoonful for each cup, into the cof-
fee-pot, pouring over it an equal num-
Der of cups of cold water and letting it
stand over night. In the morning bring
it to the boiling point before serving.
Made in this manner, it needs neither
egg nor other ''settling" to make 1t
clear. Egg, however makes it richer.
Never be found foolish, and get any
thing but the best coffee, either Java or
Mocha, or the two mixed, "alf and
'alf." By all means have it, if possible,
freshly Drowned and ground, and you
will get finer flavor.
p~sI want lawn mower" said a
citizen, as he stepped into hardware

b9@Dr. T. De Witt Talmage is moth
ing if not original, and his store of per-
tinent illustrations seems to be inexhaus-
tible. In recent sermon on trust in
Gods providence he thus illustrated his
theme:
"Once, while returning from the
West, I very easily got on the locomo-
tive while passing over the plains, and
talked with the engineer; but coming
on toward the Allegheny Mountains, l
thought would like to sit on the loco
motive as it came down from the noun
tains amidst that most wonderful scene
ry on this continent. l asked the engl-
neer if l might ride, but he courteously
denied me, for there the grade is so
steep and so winding and SO perilous
that he must not have any one on the
locomotive who may divert his atten-
ton when eye and hand and foot and
brain must be concentrated, ready for
the most sudden emergency. Well, my
friends, life is so steep and so perilous
and so exposed to sudden surprises that
none but the Lord Almighty can guide
and engineer it, and our disasters come
from the fact that we want to get up
and help the Lord to manage the train1"
B@'Ah, good-morning; nice morn
ing,' was the salutation of a Hartford
gentleman to his friend.
'How are all the folks?
'Oh, nicely. AS well as could be ex-
pected.'
'Why, what is the matter?'
'Oh, nothing much. I've been boy
cotted, that is ALL

sYes.. My third girl was born yes

Will the Sentinel give space to daughter
OF soldier of the Mexican war for word
on the Mexican Pension bill, which is agi-
Eating the lsgi lstive bodies of the country?
An opinion coming from a womrn-one of
the prescribed of the Nation-csn do no
harm to the great Union.
Now, understand this Mexican Pension
bill to be for the Mexican soldiers for their
services in the Mexican war and not for
anythi pg done before or after that war. If
this be true, why, in the name of manhood
and justice, does not Congress pass the bill
just as il that cid Confederate fossil, Jeffsr-
son Davis, was dead7 He does not care q
pin for the money, and that is all there is
practically in the question. The sentiment
supposed to attach TO it is solely In the
minds of the pigmy statesmen, whose much
ado about it is simply tor appearance sake.
Both political parties will concede, in an.
swer to direct question. that the War of
the Rebellion Is over, though in the light of
recent events it Is difficult for thinking
ones to believe their concession sincere,
when Congress finds it so hard to frame
pension bill, merely because it would like to
leave out from its provisions one or two men
who are politically dead.
The Sentinel of Thursday reports LieHten.
Indiana Senate that Jefferson Davis was
wounded in the battle of Buena Vista, but
that he never has and never will draw a PEN
sion. Suppose Mr., Davis, while q United
States Senator, prior to 1861, had drawn q
pension-which he could have done without
asking for it-would anything done bv him
subsequent to 1861 have voided what he had
drawn? Some who were in the Confederate
army are now drawing Mexican pensions.

nize that he was Mexicen soldier and
that he is one of my countrymen,
whom / admire more than any other coun-
try's men. But are not some of our coun-
trymen in Congress doing very small thing
to consume the peoples time, which is the
peoples money, in tedious efforts TO make

the benefit of its provisions-a man. too,
who does not want and has never wanted its
benefits?

man possessing the manhood to decry this
petty measure. Or il there is none TO o
this, then will not some one at ence go to
SEE old man Davis and lndnce pledge from
bin that he will never apply for his pen
sion, and lay that pledge before Congress, so
that the bill can pass without the insertion
OF the narrow provision. that coming gan
erations nnsy be saved from blushing for
their fathers having inserted it? We have
too many of these individual measures by
Congress. 1t is now trying on the one naDd
to specially benefit Grant, the great Ameri-
can eifttaker. and on the other to specially
debar from what rightfuily is his own the
arch traitor, as Jefferson Davis is supposed
to be- though many full as culpable as he
are holding high places at this time. 1t lie

will be compromised by such an act of legs.
