LIFE AND SONG.

IF ltfe were caught by clarinet,
And wild heart, throbbing In the reed,
Should thrill its Joy and thrill its fret
And utter its heart In every deed;
Then would this breeshless clarinet
Type what the poet fain would be;
For none Of the singers ever yet
Has wholly lived his minstrelsy,
Or clearly sung his true, true thought
Or utterly bodied forth his life,
Or out of life and song has wrought
The perfect one Of man and wife;
Or lived and sung that life and song
Might each express the others all,
Careless if life or art were long,
Since both were one, to stand or fails
So that the wonder struck the crowd,
Who shouted 1t about the land;
His song was only living aloud,
His work, singing with his handi

Don't Hear Everything.

The art of not hearing should be learned by
all 1t is fully as important to domestic hap
piness as a cultivated ear, for which so much
money and time are expended. There are so
many things which it is painful to hear, many
which we ought not to hear, very many,
which. il heard, will disturb the temper, cor
rupt simplicity and modesty, detract from
contentment and happiness, that every one
should be educated to take in or shut out
sounds, according TO his pleasure.
II a man falls into a violent passion, and
calls US all manner Of names, at the first
word we should shut our ears and hear no
more. II, in our quiet voyage OF life, we
find ourselves caught in one OF these domestic
w.lirlwinds of scolding, we should shut our
ears as a sailor would furl his sails, and, max
ing all tight. scud before the gale. If hot
and restless man begins to infiame our feel
ings we should consider what mischief these
fiery sparks may do in our magazine below
where our temper Is kept, and instantly close
the door
The art Of not hearing, though untaught IN
our schools, is by no means unpractlced In
society. We have noticed that a web bred
woman never hears vulgar or impairment
remark. a kind Of discreet deafness saves
one from many insults, from much blame,
from not little connivance In dishonoraoie

Habit of Punctuality.

1t seems to me, however, this habit OF dill
atoriness could better be mastered IN youth.
Punctuality should be one OF the virtues
grounded into children while they are recelv-
ing their moral, intellectual and physical
training. School teachers do attempt this
for their own comfort and the discipline OF
their scholars but the parents can render
great assistance, too. They can begin to form
the habit which will generally stick Through
life while yet their offspring are too young to
come under the teachers care.
Hours should be set for doing certain things
about the house and children should be COM
PEELED to adhere closely to the rules. For IN
stance, the hour for rising can be unaiterably
fixed; the little ones can be compelled TO appear
at table promptly and TO retire at certain
time. If this custom was established In every
household there would be more promptness
later on when these children must face the
stern realities of life and when they will real
ize, too late. that "time and tide wait for ne
man" Then there would be less necessity for
those ironclad rules which are now posted
conspicuously in every great establishment
and the infractions of which are visited with
heavy fnes.-"Observern in Philadelphia

DYEING AND WAXENDlNG.


French Empire-The Modern Idea.
No one except policemen, fremen, especial.
ly exempt firemen, and few chigalrous
and ancient gentlemen, now dyes his mus
tache, and the number of the men who change
the color of their hair by artificial means is
smaller still. When the policeman with five
service stripes was sworn it was the custom
of almost everybody to use dye. Napoleon
III was partially responsible for this He
had a gorgeous mustache, black and with
nice long ends ready for wax polish like
wholesome stove. He set the fashion for
Paris, and Paris for America. Now the Gus
tom has almost gone out, and the purple
black m ustache is rare throughout the land.
An old barber, who has been in the bust
ness good lifetime, explained the change.
"Twenty years ago third OF the men that
came here wanted their moustaches dyed. A
man with heavy and fast growing mus
tache had to have it dyed every week, and IL
was a good thing for us. Even ten years ago
there were many of them left, but the fall OF
the French empire and the emperor left the
style without support, and the character OF
the mustache changed. Instead OF being
long, glossy and black, short and stubby
mustaches came into fashion.
"CubanS and southern men began to raise
mustaches without eyer shaving their upper
lips This made the hairs come out IN grace
full clusters instead of spikes and long stiff
hairs. There isn't any use of dyeing mus
tache unless you raise long one and wax
out the ends so these short, clustering mus
taches changed the dyeing fashion. Inc
knowledge of the chemicals employed had
great deal to do with it. Powerful acids and
compounds are at the base of all dyes ana
hair restorers that do anything If weak So
lutions OF harmless things are used they Will
have no effect, while a drug powerful enough
to change the color of the hair must have
some effect on the scalp and the brain, as the
base of all hair dyes was nitrate OF silver
AT the same time, with the notoriety OF
several cases of poisoning from hair dye, came
reaction of fashion in favor of gray hair
and bald heads The young man who had a
patch of scalp showing through the top OF
his head, instead of conceaiing 1t, had his
hair cut so that it showed. and he was envled
by his fellow young men. 1t also became
fashionable for young man with black hair
to have few gray threads IN It, IL made
him an object Of interest on account OF sup
posed woes and trials that made his barr grow
prematurely gray. Dyeing the hair "ou!d
destroy this charm. and dyeing went speedlly
out of fashion New York Sun.
