dustrious, Useful Men.
Promise of reward overcomes idle
ness-even the most pronounced con-
stitutional laziness will yield to mo-
tives sufficiently strong. How the boy
bends to his task under the promise of
a dime or dollar. How the young
housekeeper rises to the occasion
under the stimulus of responsibility
and generous appreciation. If you
want your child TO feel that he is of
no account never trust him with any
important commission; if you would
have him become manly, make him feel
that he is capable of meeting high OBJ
ligations The chore-boy. weary and
footsore from his round of duties,
should be cheered by praise if his work
is praiseworthy. To withhold money
from creditor when due is no more
reprehensible than to withhold appro-
baton of the merits of a person, es-
pecially of child. Parents are often
unjust about the ownership of pet ami
mails in which their children have
taken great delight The pet lamb be-
longs to the little boy; he raised it
and it is his, and the Jersey heifer is
his also, but they are his only in name.

The money is pocketed by the father.
You may reason with the child, tell
him that he is minor, that every
thing at home belongs to his father, it
costs great deal to bring up boys,
etc, but you can not efface his strong
sense of injustice. He will remember
this experience as long as he lives, and
tell it over and over. You often hear
men telling of their hard times when
they were boys. One remarked to me
that he would rather follow his son to
the grave than have him 60 through

A FOX-HUNTlNG JUDGE.
How He Fooled a Batch of Prisoners ant

How lie Fooleu batch OF Prisohers anu

Rather good story used to be told
by Justice Porter, well-known legal
bon-vivant of Dublin. 1t concerns a
rare old Irish Judge on the Northwest

more than he did the stupid, sleepy

to the judge:

answered the faithful clerk.

whole gang; and, Isay. Tom, tell Jerry
to saddle the mare meanwhile"
The twenty Fenians were brought
into court--a defiant gang, nineteen
of them prepared to fight to the bitter
end. The twentieth had been inter
viewed by the clerk. He was called.
"Guilty or not guilty of the crime

propitious smile.
Guilty, yer Honor" said the Graf

"Well." said the judge, glancing
benevolently about the room, IL fancy

The man thanked the Judge and
stepped down to the bailiff. There
was terrible sensation among the 9TH

expected to get off with less than five

Even the busiest women, by little
plotting, can snatch five or ten minutes
during the day in which to glance at
the daily paper. and learn enough OF
the progress of events to be able to
converse knowingly with her husband
upon current topics If she learns
only enough to render it possible for
her to make intelligent inquiries. and
stimulate her husband into giving her
fuller version of the news she has
only caught an inkling of, so much the
better. The average man is never
more happy than when in the position
of enlightening some one who receives
gladly the words of wisdom that fall
from his lips.
When the tea-tablc is cleared, and
the husband and wife settle down for
the evening the pleasantest part OF
the day should be just begun Few
Benedlcts are so exaeting as one young
husband who professed a rooted aver
sion to seeing his wife sew, and who
never permitted her to keep her fingers
busy while he was present. Most men
like the pretty domestic picture a
woman makes when she is at work
making or repairing little garments, or
indulging in rare bit of fancy work.
If Benedict is fond of reading aloud
great point is gained. The even
ings can hardly be other than delight
full when the husband reads an enter
tanning book and the wife listens
while she works. But even without
this there may be bright talks on
pleasant subjects. When the true
nature of the home is realized-the
fact appreciated that it is a partner
ship in which the interests of the firm
are identical-there is no danger of
lack of themes for conversation. The
husband has his business experiences
to retail, the wife the droll or interest
ing episodes of her day. Unless un-
avoidable, let her srare Benedict the
recital of her servants tiffs and mis-
deeds and show the brighter side OF
home life to the tired man.
The question of smoking is some
times bone of contention between
otherwise harmonious couples Care
full housewives protest against having
their carpets and curtains tainted will
the odor of tobacco, and Benedict ha!
to take his cigar or pipe to the porch
or seek pleasanter but less safe quar-
ters. Here, again, is where the sacri
flee of the woman's personal prefer
ences must be made. 1t is better t
run the risk of sacrificing the fresh
ness Of carpets and hangings than tt
let Benedict feel that, in order to en-
JOY his pet luxury, he must quit his owl
fireside.
Let it be remarked, i'll passing, tina
when room is thoroughly aired ever,
day and the curtains are well shaker
there is little trouble from stale to
bacco smoke. In some homes wher
evening smoking is the rule there re
mains no trace of it after the room
have had fifteen minutes airing. Al
open fireplace is a great aid in ventil
alton.
Above all, the wife should shrinI
from the risk of belittling herself i
her husbands eyes by yielding t
peevishness, petulance or tears owe
trifes. The glamor of young Low
