II is reported from Japan that it is in
contemplation to erect n bronze statue
on an open space Immediately outside
the imperial palace in Toxic, and artists
were invited to send in designs. One of
the Inter represented the emperor
seated on his favorite charger, the
horse being so placed that its feet should
rest on ether side of the entrance bridge.
This is said to have been much admired
by the officials of the imperial house
hold; but when it was submitted to the
emperor it was Immediately vetoed, on
the ground that it was not in accordance
with the principles of hospitality and
politeness that foreign princes and per-
sonages of distinction who came to visit
him should have to pass under the feet
OF a horse hestridden by him. -Phila.

Her Appetite Her Only Fault.

"She's a good girl, but | can't
keep her. She eats too much," said
a lady in an up town intelligence Of
flee.
"She is neat and tidy, and does her
work well, but l had rather pay her
a whole months wages, although she
has only worked a week, than to feed
her until her time is up. She eats
three pounds of steak, four potatoes
and half dozen slices of bread for
her breakfast, and an ordinary din
ner for her would feed q starving
family for week"
The girl in question was a small
English maiden, recently landed, and
was steady and industrious in every
way, but had such a tremendous APP
petite that she never remained more
than week in a place The matron
at the Office said that American girls
have good appetites, but they can
not compare with foreign help when
there is any eating to be done.
They eat as though they wish to
make up for the generations their an
cestors have been starving in the old
country. A great many families hire
help by the day to wash and iron,
and do the remainder of the house
work themselves, because they cam
not afford to pay girl wages and
board her also. The grocers' and
butchers bills for a married couple
who employ one servant are double
what they would be without the SER
vant.-Maii and Express.

The solution is simple. This is to
be done by not trusting to the love
to take care of the marriage, but by
using the marriage to take care OF
the love. This is a point that few turn
over in their minds. 1t is well worth
brooding over. The secret of happi-
ness is in it. Young couples marry
for love. Then they say. each in his
or her heart, "Now we are safe, the
reefs are passed, we love each other
and are married; oil is done; our hap
piness is made; love takes care OF
that; we will ride at rest in the har-
Dor"
Fatal error! Love itself must be
taken care of 1t belongs to the class
of fine things that will not thrive
without exceeding care; only weeds
grow without looking efter. This is
the best definition OF n weed-a plant
that thrives on neglect. Weeds have
been defined POLITICALLY as plants OF
which we know not yet the use. All!
But let Use be found, and instantly
we shall need to improve the plant.
Then there is a tussle with it; and
then it is not weed. What if one set
out a rare rose bush in bed, and
say. ''There, now grow" but never
tend it, dig about it, shade it? Yet
just so many unthinking young COUP
les plant love in marriage, and say,
There, bloom now!" ond go about
their business; and their plant of
Paradise becomes dried up and eaten
of canker worms. Tis done before
they know it, They discover it when
they go for flower and find none.
Therefore we repeat, Trust not to
love to take care of the marriage; it is
the business ofthe marriage to look af-
ter the love. This must be done as
one takes care of anything else, by
forethought aud invention. They
must plan for it, be ingenious for it.
Let the wife consider in the morning:
Glow can l send my husband off for
the day with bit Of attention that
will cling to his neart till he comes
back to me?" Let the husband ask
himself: what can / invent now
that will show my wife that I've had
thoughts of her in the midst of bust
ness cares?"
Let each do that frequently, and
give mind to it, and say: 81 must
take care of that love; it is too cost
ly q bloom to let droop." Our word
for it, that is a kind of inventiveness
in which every one will succeed who
will give mind to it.-Detroit Free

Simple Rules of Etiquette.

1. Don't repeat the scandals OF the
day. They are old. Invent new
ones.
2. Never be witty at the expense OF
another. He may command a larger
credit than yourself.
3. Don't lounge in company. II
you must at all, lounge on the chairs
or sofa.
4. A boy should always tip his hat
when meeting older persons or gust
of wind.
5. Let ladies pass through q door
first. 1t may be slippery, so you had
better wait and see.
g. Eat as fast and as slow as the
rest. AS fast to get your share. For
the same reason as slow, not to en-
courage any possible superior into a
contest
Z. Finish the course with the 9TH
ers. You cannot well do otherwise,
for after they have finished it how
can you continue?
8. Cover the mouth with the hand
or napkin (both if nature has made
it necessary while removing any
thing from it, as the hand.
8. A gentleman usually vacates his
seat for n lady, if he sees better one
unoccupied. This, however, is not
always necessary if the lady is his
"best girl" and no one else is present.
10. Never leave home with unkind
words on your lips. Stay till you
have said them.
II. The etiquette of calls depends
good deal on whether you are call
ing on the minister or calling the
cows.-New York World.

When the Eighth Vermont regiment
was in louisiana one of the officers
was taken very i'll, and left in charge
of a picket post. A woman living
near by urged him to come to her
house, as the climate was malarious.
He declined her hospitality, but be-
fore long became so much worse that
his companions carried him to The
house in almost a dying condition.
Mrs. Sparks-this was the good
woman's name-preceived his almost
desperate case, but had no medicines
nor could any be procured nearer
than New Orleans, ten miles away.
What could she do for this enemy?
Her husband was infirm, and the few
negroes who remained to her were
old and decrepit.
Moreover, it was late in the after
noon, and rain was falling heavily;
but something she must do, even
though the sick man was in arms
against her government.
She sent one of her servants to the
house of u neighbor, five miles dis
tance, and this woman, violent
secessionist, went herself to New Or
leans, through drenching rain, for
the medicine. She Travelled fifteen
miles in the storm AMI darkness, and
crossed the Mississippi river twice,
and all to save the life of an enemy.
The officer remained in the house for
six weeks, and was cared for most
assiduously. Such deeds are worth
recounting; they go far to redeem
the horrors Of war.-Youth's Com
panion.

A Cat Tradition.

There are many quaint traditions In
which the cat holds n prominent place;
and an amusing one, current in the
north OF England, we may quote: A
gentleman was one evening sitting coz
ny in sparlor, reading or meditating,
when q was interrupted by the appear
ance OF n cat, which came down the
chimney, and cried out: Tell Dildrum
Doldrum's deadr' He was not unnat-
urally startled by this strange occur
renee, and when, shortly after. hfs wife
entered, and he related to her what
had happened, her own cat. which ac-
compnnied her, exclaimed, as Doldrum
dead ?" and immed lately rushed up the
chimney and was heard of no more.
OF the numerous conjectnres stated to
account for this extraordinary event,
the most reasonable one appears to be
that Doldrum had been king of Cat.
