Answering Meekly.

1t is said that in o quarrel two are
necessary for aquorum. But there is
something so much easier to fall into
than the habit Of quarrelling, that OF
making sharp retorts, harsh replies to
inquiries or observations made by 9TH
ers, which inquiries or observations
were themselves rude, perhaps. 1t is
not so difficult to be patient in the case
of All unusual or exceptional exhibi-
ton of rudeness or anger, but 1t is de-
cidedly harder when the ill temper Is
chronic, often with no cause, and al
ways selfish. True, if only one men,
ber of a household is so unlovable,
and all others receive without protest
and harsh words and tones there may
be comparative peace there!! But
does not forbearance ,oftentimes cease
to be virtue? Shall one be permit
ted to go unrebuked while making
others unhappy? Though knowing
almost that rebuff will be of "none eff
feet" yet the feeling of keen injustice
urges one beyond all restraint to pay
back in the same coin, to call halt to
one who is not only making the world
around wretched, but is strengthening
himself (or herself in habit which
has never yet added one atom to hu-
man happiness. The more sympa-
thetic and generous the mind the great
er the temptation to put down
the injustice of an unprovoked un-
kindness, an act of wanton self
ishness. Now, shall this nobler
mind make ill retort to a harsh
address, answer .meekly, or do even
more to placate unjust wrath? Wrath
is at times right, holy, but unjust wrath
weakens righteous anger when 1t be-
comes a right thing to express 1t.
Chronic i'll temper is childish and
brings its victims into ridicule. Many
thoughtless pupils enjoy nothing more
than to see the master in q rage. And
W no makes a more ridiculous figure
than grown man or woman furious
over q trifle? Rebukes, checks. are
oftentimes really necessary for these
natures that would always dominate
those about them, and might be help
full if given in the proper way, decid-
edly, pointedly, openly, and-kindly.

The funeral ~observances are very cere-
monious, us might be expected in n coun-
try where the worship of ancestors has so
long been n part of its religion, and the
graves and vaults are reverenced as sacred
places. They are usually only shapeless
mounds of earth or stone, near which are
erected wooden stakes, eight or nine feet
high, with skulls and horns of oxen fixed
or impaled on the wood. These are OBJ
jects Of worship, or at least of special ven
GRAFTON, for they are the heads of bullocks
sacrificed in honor of the lead ut the
time of burial
1t is usual to inter the dead near the
dwelling house, but only families of high
rank build houses or raise any structure
over their tombs. The finest tomb in the
country is that of the prime minister, now
prince consort. It is situated ut IsOtry,
near the capital, and is very large, prob
ably the best piece of native masonry in
the island 1t somewhat resembles the
monuments OF Assyrian art, although of
modern construction. Here are inferred
the sister and other relatives of the prince
consort. -Demorest's Monthly.

The latest fad is for the woman to re-
tain her family name after marriage in
stead of taking that of her husband.
Every woman has n perfect right to do
this if She wants to, because there is no
law compelling her to adopt that of the
man she marries. The style has been
started anew by some of the stronger
minded English women. This alone is
sufficient to make it the proper thing for
Anglo-Americaus. In England, however.
it is necessary for the woman to advertise
the fact that she is going to retain her
maiden name. In this country II nan
may n his wife's name instead of her
taking his, but it would probably be bet
ter to have the change legalized by Il
court e. legislature in order to prevent
any trouble in relation to property or in
~heritances.
Wouldn't it be better to call men and
women by their proper names? The
Quakers do so, and there is nothing often
sive nor suggestive of undue familiarity
about it. They do so from principle
rather Than to be odd. They say: Call
no man MASTER" Mister is but another
term for master, and was originally used
by common people when addressing their
superiors, or those whom they served.
As a people we are opposed to titles sug-
gestive of social rank. Dur term Mrs"
is merely n form of the English term mis-
tress, which was and is now an undesir-
able title when used in certain connec
tions. Usage has changed this somewhat,
yet it is an unnecessary prefix to the
name of n lady.-Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette.

Mexicans take more kindly to railroads
than is generally supposed in the states.
The stage coach will go out of business as
soon as the trains reach Guadalajara. AS
much as the people cling to ancient Gus
toms they never ride in n stage when tho
cars will carry them to the same destina-
ton. 1t is funny, however, to see them
getting used to the new mode of travel.
The whole family will come down to tho
depot to see n member off on n ten miles
journey. Two or three rounds of kissing
take place, accompanied by steady sob
bling. Choking adioses are shouted and
handkerchief are waved until the train
is out of sight.
MeXicans not only learn to ride in the
cars, but they take to railroad work with
great zeal and aptitude. Mexican brake
men and firemen are now employed on all
the roads. Mexican clerks and book
keepers fill most of the subordinate posi-
lions in general offices. Many of the tele-
graph offices are n by Mexican
operators. The natives will fill these po-
sitions for half what Americans demand,
and, of course, they get them. About the
only complaint which the railroad man
ayers find with the native help is thu Mt it
is sometimes 'oversmart.-MeXico Cor.

One sees everywhere throughout India
n general common characteristic. That
is a sort of kindness of disposition, kind
illness to man and brute. All domestic
animals are as gentle and tame as fire
side petted kittens. The COW and ass,
the sheep and goat, the camel and horse,
the chicken n duck, all seem absolutely
a part of the family. Pigeons in flocks
are frequently seen whirling in great
circles in the cities for several minutes,
and then swooping down upon certain
housetops. Often several flocks unite and
fly together and then separate as people
do in dances. L have seen this several
times, but one day when on n minaret ]
saw men on different houses waving flags
and directing the flights of those birds,
and by a motion calling them down to
them. l thus n day saw six different
tiocks flying at = mingling, then
Beparating-and all done under the orders
of their respective owners. They are
kept in n sort of coop in the house top,
and are thus sent out for exercise. After
flying for a half hoUr or so, they are fed
and quietly go into the coops. One gets
pigeons Mt almost every meal in all cities
here.-Carter Harrison in Chicago Mail.

Those who observe law and lawyers
from a safe distance have often noted the
different points which attorneys in vari-
GUS cities consider the Hcme of success at
the bar. The Philadelphia lawyer thinks
a successful trial of n famous criminal
case the pinnacle of legal ambition. Bos-
ton barristers look forward to the time
when they shall hold an infinite number
of huge trust estates, and thus avoid the
w%rangling scenes of the court room. The
New York lawyer has universal tastes.
He is willing to be n railroad and corpora
ton lawyer, n trustee of great estates or a
criminal practitioner. 1t is all fish which
comes to his net.-Ncw York Press

SAMPLE Case of nInol,mnilinr.

Not long ago n man well known in So
cial, business and club circles had trouble
with his wife, a beautiful and accom-
plisbed woman and they separated, the
intention being to eventually become di-
vorced. So quietly was the affair man
aged that none but their most intimate
friends knew that they had disagreed, and
the acquaintance of the couple only knew
that the wife was visiting friends and
relatives in New York. In an evil mo-
ment the young wife employed a private
detective to shadow her husband, daily
reports to be sent to her. These reports
were sent, and the wife was astonished.
She didn't nave any idea before what the
life Of a club man might be. Then, wo-
man-like, she determined to win her hus-
band back. She wrote him, the quarrel
was patched up, and the pair lived to-
gether again.
Their home was a happy one. The
husband forsook his gay companions and
compromising associations of both sexes
and became domesticated. One night
there was a knock at the door. The hus-
pal responded; it was a visitor for his
wife. When the lady entered the parlor
she recognized the private detective. She
had been foolish enough to write him two
or three letters, and these he had, to-
gether with copies of letters he had
written her concerning the private life of
her husband. The wife had peid the
agency by which this man was employed,
but this made no difference. What the
man wanted was a loan, and he got il.
He has solicited several loans since then,
and has never been refused. In the mean
time the husband remains in ignorance Of
the drains on his wife's purse, but cheer
fully foots oil bills.-Chicago Cor. New
York Herald.

superstItlon. Of the cnlnese.

A girl who is partaking of the last meal
she is to eat in her fathers house previous
to her marriage sits at the table with her
parents and brothers; but she must eat
no more than half the bowl of rice set be-
fore her, else her departure will be fol-
lowed by a continual scarcity in the domi-
cile she is leaving.
If a bride breaks the heel of her shoe in
going from her fathers to her husbands
house it is ominous of u~nhappiness in her
new relations.
A piece of bacon and a parcel of sugar
are hung on the back of u brides sedan
chair as a stop to the demons Who might
modest her while on her journey. The
'"Three Baneful Ones are fond of salt
and spices, and the ''White Tiger" likes
sweets.
A bride may be brought home while a
coffin is in her husbands house, but not
within 100 days after a coffin is carried
out. Domestic troubles are sure TO come
upon one who is married within 100 days
after a funeral.
A bride, while putting on her wedding
garments, stands in n round, shallow
basket. This conduces to her leading a
placid, well rounded life in her future
home. After her departure from her
fathers door, her mother puts the basket
over the mouth of the oven, to stop the
mouths Of all who would make adverse
comment on her daughter, and then sits
down before the kitchen range, that her
peace and leisure may be duplicated in
her daughters life.
A bride must not, for four months after
her marriage, enter any house in which
there has recently been a death or n birth,
for IL she does so there will surely be IL
quarrel between her and the groom. If
u young mother goes to see n bride, the
visitor is looked upon as the cause of any
calamity that may follOw.-Adelc NJ.

Pereentnge OF blonde. and nrnneLtes.

In the course of fifteen minutes walk
on Broadway the other day n reporter
counted 2Qlwomen, young and old, with
hair ranging from a medium brown to
the darker shades which all but artists
call black. Only thirteen women were
passed who were of the pronounced blonde
order. Three of these were of the reddish
classes and the hair of two hnd apparently
been bleached. At the theatre, the same
evening, of fifty women within easy
range, six had fair skins, blue eyes and
light hair. They sat surrounded by n
bevy of dark women, who gave its pre-
vailing tone to the complexion of the
house. Interest in the result observed
led next morning to n public school. One
class of eighty girls had eight blondes to
seventy-two average browns and bru-
nettes. Another of siXty-fvc girls had
sixteen fair haired pupils to fifty-ive
tandard brown heads and darker. In n
third class the proportions were seven
light to fifty muddy and dark. The state
ment may be hazarded that not above
3 or 10 per cent. of New York women
are blondes. Go anywhere where pretty
girls co%ngregate and you meet tall, strik-
ing looking figures with dark hair and
big, lark eyes. Is the blonde type disap-
pearing, and if so why?-New York Mail
