Drove Him AWAY.

Mark Twain, during his early days, did not
stand well among boarding house keepers.
The drawing youth was TOO lazy to pay his
board Once, while working on The ST.
Louis Republican, Twain. after many board
ing house hardships, cast his hungry lot with
a hard featured widow named Perkins.
The printers had told him that she was a
woman of gentle nature. They gleefully
awaited the end Of the first week. Monday
morning when Mark came to the office his
face wore an anxious expression.
How are you, ClemensF' said the fore
man.

entered upon the week in so truthful way.

No Couuetry There.

A pretty japanese maiden, dressed il soft
embroidered silk, sitting on the floor, bend
ing over koto, on which she strurns an &C
compartment to her voice. would in all prob
ability touch the heart of young Japanese;
but no matter how much he might be
touched, he must appear utterly indifferent
to her, and ignore her charms and her pres
ence. For, progressive as is Japan, young
men and women are never allowed together
alone, and such thing as a filtration or CO.
quetry is unknown. Unlike China or Corea,
Japan allows parents to invite a young gen
tleman to their house as guest, but he de
votes his time to the parents; the daughter
may play the koto, or entertain him in other
ways but she is noticed no more than is
colored servant woman by guest in a south
ern home
1t seems strange to US that custom can SO
control feelings and sentiment, especially
when every day we see here at home young
men doing the exact opposite, ignoring pa
rents and older members Of the family, and
feigning more interest in the young women
than they really feel. Marriages in Japan
are carried on much as they used to be- the
parent making the choice; but nowadays if
it chance that either young lady or gentle
man object to become husband or wife, the
parents do not force the matter, and, as a
rule, babies are not betrothed by their pa
rents as they are in some other Asiatic coun-
tries. Neither are women SO secluded as
they are in those countries, for nearly as
many japanese women are to be seen on the
streets in Japan as are American women in
this country. In fact, the japanese woman
or girl is to Asia what the American girl is
to Europe. Magazine

oAc "OhAus NOA a.
One could scarcely expect a COW, not
trained TO the profession of arms TO conduct
herself with great self possession as one Of an
army. In the Story of a Boy Company" is
to be found an anecdote concerning one such
new recruit-a cow which, with several hens
and a rooster, were attached to a Confeder-
ate battery. As soon as a halt was made for
the night the fowls were taken from the
wagon, where they rode, the rooster was tied
to wheel spoke by the leg and his family
always remained near him.
As the war progressed, and the horses
grew poor, the COW was brought into use as
beast of burden. She was Saddied, dishes,
frying pans and coffee pots were hung upon
the saddle, and the docile creature moved
away, quite oblivious of the clatter on her
back She was usually tied TO caisSon, but
often she was turned loose, and thus followed
the battery Ike an enlisted soldier.
During the last winter of the war large,
raw boned, brindle cow strayed into camp,
and although at first wild, she soon followed
the exampIs of the veteran and became an
orderly recruit.
One day, when a sudden start had been or
dered. it was thought advisable TO utilize the
new cow as porter A little fellow named
Carlton was ordered 70 saddle the cows The
old one was quickly loaded with the captains
baggage, recently killed chickens and other
raCions. aud Carlton then proceeded to put
the coffee pot, skillet and other utensils upon
the brindle. he was obliged 70 make her fast

Everything was ready, the battery was
about to move, and the captain directed
Carlton 10 let go tae ropes, and make the

HAs SEEN IT HIMSELF.


If young and innocent girls could but hear
the comments and criticisms which are made
on their figures By club men around the card
rooms and at club windows, and could listen
for a moment to the minute analyses which
are made OF their physical attractions left
exposed by reason OF the decollete dress, no
argument that could possibly be advanced
would induce them TO continue the wearing
of this apparently popular and fashionable
garment. And when l speak OF tie IN

The underlying principle Of ell nude e1-

tres-A Puritan for Himself Only.
The decollete dress now used by women
for evening wear is simply an abomination.
1 will not denounce all the women who wear
such dresses as immoral That would be
unfair But do contend that they are all
shamelessly immodest / can readily under
stand how young girl, brought up in what
is known as fashionable society and accus-
toned from her childhood to the appearance
of her mother during the evening in this
outrageous costume, should come to regard
the exposure Of her arms and the upper part
of her bosom as eminently proper and modest.
Perhaps she would never think about the
matter at all. But this Inconsistencies o1
her part does not make the exposure any the
less immodast, any more than the uncop-
seriousness Of the native woman of Africa,
who appears in state of nature and walks
about in this unhampered condition, robs her
exposure of every immodest characteristic
l suppose this comparison viii not be con-
sidered fair one by great many people.
But if the opportunity which a wealthy
American girl has for cultivation and refine
nlent is considered, to SLY nothing Of her
Christian training, which should be hers,
and can be hers for the asking, is considered,
which enable her to distinguish between the
modest and the immodeSt, these people will
if they are not biased, admit that the COM
parison has ali the elements of truth. To
my mind, there is very little difference be-

EVIL MINDED NEN.

So much for the inmodesty of the ques-
ton. It's immortality Is attributable partly
to the women who wear it, but chiefly TO the
men who cOuntenance and encourage them.
The women who eagerly seize on the pretext
which this costume affords for the exhibition
of their physical attractions for the purpose
Of capturing the attention Of men, thereby
knowing full well what the influence Of such
a display possesses, are, | am very happy to
say, in the minority. But they do exist, and
the costume in their hands and worn by them
is an instrument of the devil. The chief
cause Of its immortality, however, resides in
the filthy inaginations of the men.
, All men are more or less immoral in
thought if not in deed, and there is abso-
lutely no exception to this rule. If it is not
SO, why do men frequent theatres where the
exposure of half naked women in tights
colored to resemble human flesh is the pre-
vailing and predominant feature Of the per
fornances? They go there simply that their
unhealthy and uncleanly imagiIations may
have full play, and if the exhibitions on the
stage do not minister to their diseased fancy
and appeal to their sexual passions they are
voted dull and commonplace and left without
patronage.
Nowadays men often frequent drawing
rooms for the same reason that they frequent
the theatres. There they meet women, their
social peers, it is true, dressed, or rather un-
dressed, in evening costume, and find food
for their Imagination precisely as they do
when they attend a ballet or a spectacle
Then comes the talk of the clubs. The bust,
the formation of the arms, and the more or
less voluptuous curves of the figure, all fur
nish themes for subsequent comment. The
points of new debutante are estimated by
these men during drawing room converse
tons, with all the care and skill exhibited by
an expert in horseAesh, where the merits Of a
horse are under consideration And the OBJ
servations carried away from these drawing
rooms are made afterwards the subject Of
club gossip, and form the basis Of compari-
son when the excellencies Of rival beauties
happen to be mentioned

always liked to have a crowd around

arrange things? He settled it by going
to the State Reform School and picking

there. Possibly he thought that by
this act he was helping himself, and

I'm the Ham at Ahbotsrord.

On the right side of the hall the
close observer Is aware of two species
of presses, or cupbOards, formed of
the same carved wood as the rest of
the paneling. The visitor is rather
astOnished, and if a very strict Pres
byterian perhaps a little shocked, on
being informed that these presses are,
or rather were, the pulpit and pre-
centOr's desk of Mr.. EbeneZer Erskine,
upon whom descended the New Light,
which fructified so we'll that he be-
came the venerable father of the Scot
tish Associated Synod of NonjurOrs,
otherwise termed the Burgher Seed
ers. But 1 may safely disclaim all
irreverence toward Master Ebenezer
Erskine and his followers, many of
whom 1 have myself known as person
ally very excellent men. The idea
that pulpit and precentor's desk are
inter res SdcreS is in no sense Presby-
terrain, although such an idea may pre-
vail In the High Church of England,
and is one of the doctrines with which
Jack sometimes upbraids Father Mar
tin as being directly derived from the
heresies of Father Peter But with
Jack himself the maxim is held IN
chaIlengeable that a church when
there is no service in it is but heap
of stones and mortal, pulpit a colIec-
ton Of pIanks of a peculiar shape, ct
sic de ceteg'js. For my own part, I
can see no harm in applying Ebenezer
Ersldne's pulpit and precentor's box
to the purpose of keeping a few bottles
of wine cool in hot weather, when we
sometimes, for the sake of taking our
family meal al fresco, make use Of the
hall instead of our dining-room It is
true that the ancient paneling may
upon such an occasion hear a JacObite
rant, to which it was not accustomed
In the good days of Master Ebenezer.
