The Doctors Telephone.

A Boston physician was called out
of a sound slumber the other night
to answer the telephone.
"Hello! what is it," he asked, lit.
tie pleased at the idea OF leaving his
comfortable bed.
"Baby is crying, doctor. What
shall I dog came across the wire.
"Oh, perhaps it PIN" sugges.
ted the doctor, recognizing the
voice of q young mother, and one OF
his patients.

can't be that
Perhaps he has the colic,' re-
turned the doctor, with well simnla-
ted soiicitude.
"No, I don't think 3d." replied the
anxious mother; she does MT oct in
that way"
"Then perhaps he's hungry" said
the doctor. as last resort.
"Oh, I'll see" came across the
wire, and then all was still The
doctor went back to bed. and was
soon asleep again. About half an
hour afterward, he was again awak-

Too Much SwEEPING.-The advisa-
bility of giving every apartment a
vigorous "broom cleaning" at least
once a week has been so strenuously
insisted upon by some notable house
keepers that it has by many been
converted into an imperative duty.
But looking at the matter in an un-
prejudiced light, one cannot clearly
see why n drawing-room inhabited
perhaps only few hours Of the af-
ternoOn and evening, or an unoccu-
pied guest-chamber, should require
the same amount of publication de-
manded by sewing, sitting, or din
ing-room. The dustpan and brush
are labOr-saving machines that do not
receive due appreciation. By their
aid in removing little dust here and
a little there, the business OF sweep
ing a whole room may be deferred at
times, when at the first glance any
thing less than a complete routing
ont Of furniture and dirt together
would seem impossible.-Marion Har-
land.

There is no country on Garth where
young women should be moro fully
conscious Of the dignity of their ma
ture and position than here in our
own America. The fact that any
young girl bred and reared in this
broad commonwealth, however SO.
cluded and humble her lot, may pos
sibly be raised to the high honor OF
being the wife of the chief magistrate
of the nation. ought to stimulate all
healthful exertions towards obtaining
a thorough education.
Nearly every presidential election
brings more or less Of our country
men to the front, to fill official posi-
tions, who have never before been
thus brought out. The wives of these
men Gt is to be hoped that the ma
jority of them are marriedD must take
their places also in a different sphere
from that occupied in their homes in
the various states from which their
husbands have been called to assist
in moving the wheels and bearing
the responsibilities of our great gov
ernment. Fit yourselves for such po-
sitions, we say to you, girls OF the
present day. Hundreds of govern
ment officials imply hundreds OF
wives. II these women are rightly
fitted for their positions, their infiu-
ence for good might be immense.
Let us have educated girls - not
merely CLOSED over with superficial
accomplishments, but thoroughly in
formed and self-reliant, with n noble
ambition to develop their best pow
ers of body and mind; we'll trained
physiqnes and we'll cultured intel
lects, in this day of opportunities, can
be attained to by the masses Of
American women, and this is one of
the glories of our free and enlight-
ened government.

TUE LAW OF COMPENSATION.

III going through life with eyes
and heart open, we see this great law
prevailing more generally than at first
glnnce would indicate. AS we learn
to look below the surface of things,
we find through every grade Of hu-
manity it is "cent per cent, right
along. What we might suppose an
inequality, upon closer inspection
shows the true adjustment Of the
principle, $50 much for so much
Not but that there may be exceptional
cases to this rule, but this only
proves it true in the main. No one,
after all, would be quite willing to
exchange his burden for that of an
other; certainly not, when what this
change implies is understood. Each
one Is best adapted to the individual
bearing it, and to those who seem to
be more hardly pressed than some
others, there is more of strength to
bear, and more of the starry lights
cleaning through the shadows and
clouds around them.

Bad news comes from the convention of

boycotts is taken fran the district assemblies

materially the Importance of the general ex-

board, presided over by Powderly, conserva-
tive Knights have based their hopes OF the
order But the election of the additional
members of this board has resulted'in the
