AN ACT OF KINDNESS
How Phillips Brooks Once Assisted u Lady
Who Was In Trouble.

How Phillips Brooks Once Assisted y Lady
Who Was In Trouble.
Stories Of Rev. DR.. Phillips Brooke
abound. A Boston Gazette writer
tells that a lady was travelling from
Providence to Boston with her weak
minded father. Before they arrived
there he became possessed of fancy
that he must get off the train while it
was still in motion; that some absolute
duty called him. His daughter en-
deavored to quiet him, but it was diff
cult to do it, and she was just giving
up in despair when she noticed a very
large man just across the aisle, who
was watching the proceeding intently
over the top of his paper. AS soon as
he caught her eyes he arose and
crossed quickly to her. II beg your
PARDON" he said. "You are in
trouble. May help youP' AS soon
as he spoke she felt perfect trust in
him. She explained the situation to
him. "What is your fathers nameP"
he asked. She told him, and with an
encouraging smile he bent over the
gentleman who was sitting in front of
her, and said q few words in his ear.
With a smile the gentleman rose,
crossed the aisle and took the vacant
seat, and the next moment the large
man had turned over the seat and
leaning toward the troubled old man
had addressed him by name, shaken
hands cordially and engaged him in
conversation so interesting and so
cleverly arranged to keep his mind
occupied that he forgot his need TO
leave the train, and did not think of it
again until they were in Boston. Here
the stranger put the lady and her
charge into a carriage, received her
assurance that she felt perfectly safe,
had cordially shaken her hand and
was about to close the carriage door
when she remembered that she felt 80
safe in the keeping of this noble-look-
ing man that she had not even asked
his name. Hastily putting her hand
against the door, she said: pardon
me, but you have rendered me such a
service may I not know whom 1 am
thankingp" The big man smiled as
he answered: phillips Brooks" and
turned away.

A Drawing Room IIomiIy.

Is it not too bad, says Bishop Hunting
ton, in a time when there is SO much
fact to be learned, so much work to be
done, and done better than it is, so much
wrong to be rishted, SO many burdens
wait to be eased, SO many noble enter
prises to be set forward, that ladies and
gentlemen of faculty and information
should array themselves sumptuously
and go to meet each other again and
again, and stay together for hours, only
to look at a spectacle that is without sig
nificance and hear sounds without sense;
to SEQ unreal manners and hear COM
monplace speech; to exchange greetings
with the dearest friends only on acrowd-
ed staircase, as the two professions up
and down meetand pass, or in "a crush"
where the l%ivcliest feeling is a fear of
damaging a fabric or being mortified by
a mistake; to eat and drink what could
be eaten and drank with far more COM
fort and safer digestion at home; to say
what one only half feels to persons
whom one does not like on n subject
that one does not half understand; to
pick a way between ~frivolity and false
hood or wade through a muddy mixture
of both; to cover disgust with a smile,
inward protest with spoken accent, or
WEAKNESS with a jest, and then go away
at an unhealthy hour with nothing to
remember but a babble, a whirl, a jam,
and a secret self contempt? "Horrid
bore, isn't it?" said one victim to another.
"Beastly," was the cordial answer.
Lets go home!" II wish | could, but

Young Men in Public Life.

1t is no easy matter, if, indeed, it is
possible, to fix the time at which it is
proper for a man to enter upon public
life, supposing that he a enter upon it
at all. The question is quite prominent
just now. Pitt was a very young man
but a little past 20-when he took the
reins of the British government into his
inexperienced hands. Burke was 3G
when he entered parliament, though he
had previously been attache of 'Single
Speech Hamilton, secretary of Lord
Halifax in Ireland, and afterward pri-
waite secretary of Lord Rockingham while
the latter's one year ministry lasted. And
SO n crowd of less notable illustrations
might be cited.
But no average of circumstances will
suffice to establish a rule in the case. 1t
must ever be a matter of perpetual
chance and discovery. Ono man does
his best work in a very short time and
early in life, when another does not
fairly come to it till he is at middle life,
and wen later. And what a young man
is specially good for, and for that reason
specially inclined to an, older one would
regard rs wholly out of the reach of his
desires. The fully matured public man
is a different being from the beginner.
And if he has husbanded his powers he
generally possesses as good q stock of
the energy of youth as any situation in
which is lie placed may require .-Boston

Concerning Pork Chops,

Mr.. Gladstone writes thus on the sub
ject of pork chops in Nineteenth Cen.
fury: Although the question respecting
the keeping of swine and the use of pork
is by no means disposed of, either by the
authorities quoted in the text or by Will
kinson, l venture at this stage to offer
the following conjectures as somewhat
probable in themselves and not ~inconsis-
tent with the evidence as Il whole: 1.
That in the warm climates of Egypt and
Ph@nicia the use Of pork was, on sani-
tary grounds, depressed by prohibitions
or restricted to particular occasions. 2.
That the great thrift resulting from the
rearing and consumption of the animal
may have kept the practice extensively
alive, Notwithstanding restrictive laws,
especially among the classes to whom
thrift was an important object. 8. That
as the pig is useless to man during life,
it is very difficult to account for its being
bred and kept, as it evidently was, ex-
cept upon the superstition that it was
wanted for food. a. That If the animal
as domesticated was brought into Greece
by Phonician ships, its consumption for
food may have spread there, in a cooler
climate and a society free from sumptu-
airy restraints, and yet in IIomcr's day
may not have wholly ceased to DO a dis
tinct mark of southeastern origin and
associations. s. That the %sialos, the
carefully and delicately fatted pig, was
served as a luxury at the tables of the
rich, while the use Of common pork was
reserved, as in the cottage of Eumaios,
for the poorer class. Such is the evi.

Hints for

Now as to the treatment for incipient
badness, thin spots and so forth. This,
according to Good Housekeeping, is
what an eminent physician said to a gen.
tleman who consulted him for the first
named trouble.
"Have you been accustomed to wash
your head in soapy watcr?" asked the
doctor.
Eyes, every morning." was the reply.
swell, that is the cause of this bald
place; stop washing and begin brushing
your hair. Use Il bristle brush for fifteen
minutes every morning and night. You
may not notice any Improvement for a
year. perhaps not for two, but be assured
you will have a fine crop of hair and
never grow bald if you pursue this
course"
AS fifteen minutes seems a very long
while vigorously moving a hair brush
hither and thither over the surface of
your head, it would be we'll to inyeigle
ones friends into assisting, wouldn't it?
If the hair is falling out, remember
that it is owing to an unhealthy condi-
ton of the scalp. First cut off about two
inches of the hair, next wash in clear,
cold, soft water, rubbing dry with a
crash towel? then begin the fifteen min
utes' brushing process, and in a few
weeks you will see the tiny spires of new
hair coming all over your head. Beware
of being tempted to the use of any nos
trum whatsoever, no matter how plausi-
bic the advertisement thereof; all are
moro or less injurious-generally more,
as you will find out to your sorrow if you
begin the use of them.

Turn tn Cnlic.

Ayoung married couple residing in the
West End were the principals in a story
that was related with gusto at a supper
table on Massachusetts, avenue last even
ing. Like asensible, prudent housewife,
the bride of a few weeks invested in a
book Of household recipes and remedies
for use 1n case of an emergency. or a
big dinner. A few evenings ago there
was a commotion in the household,
caused by the writings of the husband,
who declared that his hours were num-
bered on earth. His anxious wife wrung
her hands, and in tender accents wanted
to know what she could do to relieve his
suffering. Tossing and groaning as he
was, in what he thought his death throes.
he did not forget the book of remedies.
When M Of his paroxysms of pain had
subsidized he soothed his anxious wife by
saying: dearest, get that book and turn
to collie" Sure enough, the remedy was
found under that head, and a sealskin
sack will reward the young wife's fore
sight.-Washington Capital.

Under the Chin,

You may have heard travellers scott at
the practical F%rcnchman who stuffs one
corner of his napkin inside his shirt col
lar and spreads it fully over the front Of
his person from his chin down to his
knees. This is the practice Of the French
people of the middle and lower classes,
who are thrifty and prudent, and who
wish to cat at their ease and not spot
their clothes. There is nothing ridiculous
in this practice. There is a reason, and
an excellent reason, for so spreading the
napkin, and if | were dining at home,
or alone at a restaurant or club, and had
on my spotlcss shirt and open waistcoat
and ~clawhaInmer coat, all ready to go to
tho opera, l should certainly spread my
napkin over my manly and snowy bosom,
Just as the %Frenchman does. and SO l
should dine at my case, screnely and
without care, knowing that | had thus
insured the immaculateness of my linen.
However, let it be remembered that COM
pany in all countries require
you simply to spread your napkin loosely
over your knees, and to eat clcanly and

A Wise Saying.

Here is a wise thing said by some me-:
sit is an excellent thing for any person
to realize the fact that the world is not
all contained within the limits of his own
horizon. An amusing instance of this
kind of mistake that is made by people
who arc ignorant or forgetful of this
simple fact is given in the recent expert
enc of a lady traveller in Asia. One of
the Malay rajahs contided to her his will
ingness to learn English. But he said,
there is this objection to English, that it
is only spoken by a dozen people in the
world, eel counting the governor of
Singapore and his followers, while wher-
ever you go-to the north, south, east or
west, or beyond the wind-you find Ma
lay spoken That Malay was right so
far as his wv horizon vas co%ncerncd;
but what infinite horizons lay beyond
him! And what infinite horizons of
truth lie behind many a prim Anglo
Saxon, who mistakes his own little hori-
zon of personal knowledge forthe bound
aries of Gods everlasting universe!"-

"A Pretty Picture.

l was at one of the fashionable theatres
uptown, and there l noticed fashion in
the application instead of the abstract,
and it really is far nicer to see pretty
dresses on moving models, and hats and
bonncts ovcr real faces. 1 saw one
superb woman sweep in-tl1at's a good
word, "sweep in"-with a dress of sill
very satin, cut square in the neck and
with a nyass of white and pink brocaded
silk with gray fur bordcrings hanging
loosely from her shoulders, while her
golden hair was surmounted by a white
bonnet with pink and gray tips. No end
of diamonds glittered on her arms and in
her cars, and 1 asked who sho was and
nobody seemed to know, and yet she
acted as if the whole place belonged to
her.
Beside her nestled a little body with
big eyes and q sweet young face, and she
wore a quiet little drab suit, and l was told
that she was Annie Russell, tho sweetest
little woman in tho world. So you see
it is the fashion to wear what you please
at church, on the street or in the theatre,
but don't let what pleases you be out of
fashion.-Olive Harper.

A Country of Salt.

Everything in the countryo of the River
Chai in Central Asia is described by Ga
briel Bouvalot as covered with salt. It
is seen in tho walls of the houses and on
the banks of the rivers, and the water
one drinks is very salt. Travelling salt
peter makers go in summe from place to
place wherever they can find material to
work upon. Their mode of operation is
a rough-and-ready one. Holes in the
earth serve as watts and boilers, and below
these are placed ovens. Abundance of
brushwood supplies material for the
fires. The workers collect from the sur
face of the earth heaps of compost of
salt and animal manure. This is soaked
for twenty-four hours in water, then fill
tered, and then boiled for twenty-four
hours, cleansed and placed in tho sum-, SO
that the water may evaporatc. An Or
binary workman can make about fifty
pounds in a day, and this he sells at the
rate Of IL penny a pound.-Popular

Obliging His Friends.

care you taking medicine for any,
thing?" asked a young man yesterday of
a friend who stopped him on a corner.
The astonished friend recovered from
his surprise long enough to say he was
not. "Well," went OF the young man,
"if you had been, 1 should have hurried
on. Why? Well, because think I have
more ailing friends than any one else in
town, and the worst of it is that they
persist in telling me all about their ills
and go so far rs to ask me to try their
medicine. I, who am always we'll, am
nearly sick from it. In the aggregate
last week I tasted four different styles of
pills, three elixirs and tried two catarrh
cures. What could I do when n friend
came up and told me of his ailment and
what he was taking for it, and then
asked me to have a pill with him? l
like to please every one, but if this keeps
on am sure it will be the death of me.
The other day l met a friend who has
catarrh and he asked me to 20 up and
call ON Billy Clarke to try his new ca.
tarrh cure. Now, l knew Billy when he
used to sell Chaplin & Cores catarrh
cure, and l went up to see him, but nv
friend wanted INC to try the cure. /

Then in the next block l met a friend
with anew rheumatism pill, and l had to
try two of those to oblige him. This

Steel. Pens.

Nearly all the steel pens used in this
country are manufactured here, though
twenty years ago nearly all were i'm
ported. Now only the highest priced
one are imported. We uso about
1000, 900 gross every year, which is not
so large a number as might appear, con-
sidering that it represents fewer than
three pens apiece for all the inhabitants.
AS many people who use them wear out
a gross (144 pens) or more in year, it is
evident that there must be a great many
who never use a steel pen at all. The pens
are made of imported steel, which is
preferred because of its moro uniform
quality. 1t is rolled into big sheets and
cut into strips. after which it is an
nealed, rolled to the thickness required,
then tempered and cut and stamped into
pens. Much skill is required in all these
operations and in those of finishing the
pens for use. Tho manufacture and
trade in steel pens has seen very little
change for a generation. Good House.
