quite harmonious. Indeed, might go
so far as to assert that he who keeps
control of self will be most likely to
forget self.

HINTS TO MOTHERS.
Some Useful Suggestions About the Car
and Training of Children.

Some Useful Suggestions About the Care
and Training of Children.
All children possess imagination in
a greater or less degree, and in the
management of the nursery this faculty
may be ranked among the important
ones. In triling matters where no real
principle is involved l always consider
the easiest way is the best way, as, for
instance, this morning, when my three
year-old girl took it into her head not
to be dressed as usual, and curling her
tiny pink toes beneath her gown de-
clared mischievously she wouldn't
have any 'tockin's on at ALL"
For a minute l was nonplussed. Baby
had not been we'll for several days and
was just in the humor to rebel vigor-
ously against inforced obedience. Pa
pa was in the sound morning sleep
that BELTS night worker, cry
must be avoided, if possible, SO as
thought struck me l held the small
stocking invitingly open, and said,
pleasantly: THE naughty little foot
said it wouldn't go into this stocking,
but the stocking said I'm going right
on that foot to keep it warm all day,
and the stocking went right on" as
sure enough it did, while baby looked
up with laugh and the question:
What other 'tockin' say, mammal"
and the difficulty was over, though
each article of clothing had to say
something as it was put in place.
Long ago devised somewhat SIM
liar method for nail-cutting and hair
combing processes, neither of which
give me any trouble, though some of
my more prosaic neighbors, who do
not "believe in such things" have
continual howl from beginning to end
of the operation. My oldest was
an only child for several years,
and a very delicate one, SO
in winter she was housed
good deal, but I had scarcely any
difficulty, for imaginary playmates
ed in the doll-housekeeping, slept and
ate with her and gave her as much
happiness as real ones could have done.
She was timid child, disliking to 81,
into dark room or upstairs alone, SO
| made use of the imagination that
caused the fear to aid in conquering it,
for she would cheerfully 60 anywhere
as long as the pretended visitor ac-
companied her.
A capricious appetite that refuses a
plain slice OF bread and butter will
relish the same if cut into small squares
and called 'tcaramels," as know from
experience; and so in a thousand and
one ways mother can use her child's
imagination as factor for good in its
education, and by ingenious devices
rely upon it to assist her in various
nursery dilemmas, Cor. Philsdelphia

vANDERslLT's KITCHEN.
Where a $4,000 Chef Prepares Food In
Silver.Lined Cooking Utensils.


Mr.. w. X. Vanderbilt's chef has had
such renown that the temple in which
he moves and the altar at which he
officiates must be of interest. Both
are worth his cost to import and worthy
his talents. Mr.. Vanderbilt's kitchen
is really very beautiful to the eye. The
purity of marble, the luster of tiles
and the CLEAN of metal are what one
sees. The floor is of marble, the
shelves, the tables, the sinks, all the
things that are rarely moved are of
marble and cut with the precision OF
jewels. The walls are lined with
cream enameled tiles and all the angles
are covered with brass mouldings.
Where these meet the doors and win
dows they are covered with these metal
holdings dispensing even with wood
en- trim. The ceiling is made of white
enameled tiles set in cement. But ono
does not imperil the head of $4,000
cook with u loosely-set brick, so each
tile is also secured with raised metal
bolts.
Accounting all this CLEAN of white
and metal is the large double range.
1t is set in one corner under a large
semicircular hood enriched with en-.
bossed copper ornaments and swung
from iron bars wrought in spirals and
foliations. This hood is so powerful
an agent in carrying off the odor and
greasy steam that it will watt from
the hand a newspaper held under it.
The coking utensils are in keeping
with all this splendor. They are Of
copper with wrought-iron handles,
many of them ornamented, and some
Of them have been copied from special
pieces in the Cluny and other mu-
seums. Luxurious cooking utensils are
indeed the thing of the moment, and a
wedding present not disdained is
set of copper silver-lined, such
as are now displayed among gems
and gold at the jewelers..
Leading from the kitchen to
the buffers pantry are spiral stairs
entirely inclosed in glass to shut out
possible odor, yet retain the light.
And this is SO successfully done that.
although the kitchen is directly below
the dining-room and buffers pantry,
nothing disagreeable makes its way
aloft.
Before referring to another attach
ment of this kitchen, allusion should
be made to the drains and hose outlet
in the center of the marble floor, for it
is by hose which may play fearlessly
In any part of the room that the
kitchen is kept clean. Connected with
the kitchen, and built under the side
walk, is a series of vaults. These are
for ice, meat, vegetables, milk and
eggs, and are built in three sections of
hollow masonry, that they may be
kept free from damp, and have perfect
ventilation. The heavier articles,
such as ice and meat, are put in
through the sidewalk with derrick and
hoist, which relieves the kitchen of a
good deal of unpleasantness, as every
housekeeper may imagine. IN. Y. Let.

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT.
A SILLY LITTLE LASS.

There sat . silly little lass
Upon bed Of posies,
Her tears believed the summer grass
And twinkied on the roses.
"Now, why is all this grief2" said,
"And all this doleful cTying?'
The maiden sadly shook her head,
And answered, softly signing:
YAH yesterday wept" said she.
"And then this morning could see
II was quite without reason;
So now Imourn the stupid way
In which spent that lovely day
The fairest of the season!
o dear-O dear-O dear-O dear
The faireSt of the senson!'
80 there she sat, the silly lass,
And nothing could content her;
Inc roses and the summer grass
No grain of comfort lent her;
Nor any word that could say
Would ease her doleful crying.
II can but weep for yesterday"
She answered, sadly signing:
at was oil SO foolish-that see
And that is not the worst" said shot
Is not my greatest sorrow;
can not eat-I can not sleep
And all the day weep, and weep
For fear I'll weep tomorrow!
o dear-O dear-O dear-O dear
Ifear I'll weep Tomorrow

TOLD BY THE WAVES.

was Il child, but the sea was old,
Gray and old was the roaring sea,
When first his mighty waters rolled
At my restless feet and sang to me;
Twas child, but the washing waves
In their wailing grief or their fitful play,
Called my name in the hollow caves,
And told me stories Of yesterday.
OF strange old time, know not when,
OF distant land, know not where,
Ola Home beyond the thoughts of men,
And beyond the reach Of my fondest pray'r
was child, but the gray old sea
Told Of o time that was long OF yore-
Told Of past Eternity
Like the great infinity before.
Long have trodden his beaches bare,
Gathered his sea-weeds brown and wild,
Scattered his spray from my waving hair
AS though were still little child.
But now no more does the ocean tell
His mystic tales Of the Past to me,
For hear in his ceaseless surge and swell
The call OF a far Futurity.

THE AMERICAN CROW.

How His Several Caws Differ from Each
Other.
lam sorry the character of the crow
is SO irretrievably bad, for there is
much that is interesting about him.
In some respects he is even useful. He
acts to some extent as scavenger, he
eats few grubs in the meadows and
pastures, and is said to be in much de-
mand occasionally for furnishing forth
the tables of disappointed, disgrunt-
led politicians. His glossy, blue
black color is fine enough to give q
certain beauty to his somewhat un-
calmly form. But the chief point Of
interest about him is his voice, which
on certain occasions is wonderfully ex-
pressive and human. II you come
suddenly upon the place where COM
pany of marauding crows are commit
ting their depredations the one that
has been placed as sentinel will fly
over your head on discovering you,
crying ha! ha! ha! with force of ex.
preston which Edwin Booth could
scarcely equal. He gives the III"
sound with strong aspiration and
prolongs the vowel sound to give it its
full force. ''Ha! ha! hap he will cry
from above the streets with startling
effect just as if he had caught you in
some villainy, and just as you might
say the same word if you had caught
some one else in villainy, and at first
blush he will make you feel as if you
yourself were the culprit. know Of
no bird elocution equal to this. His
ordinary cry is the same syllable re-
peated more rapidly in not unmusical
voice. But without any attempt at
forcible evolutionary expression, and
sometimes varies the '.haw" to ''caw, y
or adding a syllable makes it "caw-er. !"
His call to his mate is the syllable
couk, couk, couk, couk, usually four
times repeated. But his faculty OF
speech seems to be limited to the vowel
sounds aw and GU and the consonant
sounds b, k and r. In this respect he
is by no means equal to some of his
foreign relations. He is, however, 4
mitch smarter bird than his English
cousin. the rock, but unfortunately his
snartness all runs to mischief Hart.

certainly. Shortly after this the lady
again visited him and informed him
that she was ready. The dominic said

CONSOLIDATE WIDOWS,
A. Bereaved Wife Who Was Only To
Thankful for Release.

A. Bereaved Wife Who Was Only Too
Thankful for Release.
Once / was with a friend of mine
when the news of her husbands death
was brought to her. He had been
killed in railway accident. She was
shocked by the news and the dreadful
suddenness of it. and turned so white
that thought she was going to faint.
| made her sit down on a sofa that was
near, and she whispered in my ear:
SECT them all out OF the room, Madge,
l am so afraid they will see the joy in
my face that | feel in my hearth He
had been brute to her and to his
children. He used often to knock the
little ones down in his RACES, and,
though his wife never told me so,
fancy that he more than once had laid
his hand upon her by no means "in the
way OF kindness"
Now, was not that a release from
misery for her and her children? They
arc happy as possible now, and when
any one suggests q second marriage to
her she smiles in a way that few of
her friends understand thoroughly.
Leila, our American friend, is great
on the subject of widows. II know"
she says, ''that society expects wild
ows to sit on their husbands collins
and make every body uncomfortable,
and society is just the first to turn and
rend them for doing it. Just you wait
till I'm widow; I'll be real smart
one. This is the sort of cap I'll wear"
and she sketches her own pretty head,
with cap about two inches square on
the top and a pair of "weepers"
streaming on the air behind. There!
shan't look nice? Oh, girls! / wish
I'd been born a widow, that do!'-
