Treaehery is detestable fault; therefore
let nothing tempt yoa to besray secret CON
fined to your honor. Wha, il the friend who
once trusted you, and told yan all the secrets
Of his heart, has become your enemy? You
are still houud to keep yoar word inviolate,
and preserve locked in your heart the secrets
eon6deatially made known to yon. A man
Of principle will never betrAy an enemy. He
holds il a Christian duty never to reveal what
in good faith was placed in his keeping
King Of Maeedon, they intercepted letter that
the king had written to his wife Olympia. 1t
was returned unopened, that it might not be
read in puhlic-their laws forbidding them to
reveal secret. Among the Egyptians it was
a criminal offence to divulge a secret. A
priest, who had been found guilty of this
offence was ordered TO leave the country.
Have you another's secret in your keeping
Then reveal ii not for the world. A conhd-
ing friend may tell yea hundred things,
which, if whispered abroad, would bring him
into contempt aud ridieule, and injure his
character through life. No one is so upright
that he may not have committed some un.
geailemanly act, or some impure offence,
which may have been done years ago, before
the individuals character was formed, and
before be had wife and children. Would ii
not be proclamation of the most social duties,
in a it Of anger, or oa. Of malice or revenge
to divulge a secret like this? A mans enc.
mics would not care whether il was the fault
of his thoughtless youth or his matarer years,
so long as they could make handle Of it 10
his injury, and thus effect their purpose. Be
careful, then, never, under any consideration
whatever, to repeat what has been whispered
to yoa in the confidence of friendship. A
betrayer of secrets is fit only for the society

The Slav's Love of Music.
From the Home Journal.


The Bohemian Dvorak relates in an auto
biographical sketch that in his country every
child must study music. 'The law enaeting
this is old; it was once repealed, but is in
force again. Herein / consider lies one great
secret of the natural talent for music in my
country. Our national tunes and chorals
came, as it were, from the very heart of the
people, and beautiful things they were. l
intend some day writing an oratorio into
which shall introduce some ofthese ehorals
The Slavs all love music. They may work
all day in the fields, but they are always sing
ing, and the true musical spirit burns bright
within them. How they love the dance,
too On Sunday, when church is over, they
begin their music and dancing, and often
keep it up without cessation till early in the
following morning. Each village has its
band of eight or ten musicians

The Most Expensive Leather.

''The most costly leather in the world, so

feathers to reporter of the New York Sun,
sis known to the trade as piano leather.
American tanners years ago discovered the
secret of making Russia leather, with its
peculiarly pungent and lasting odor; but the
secret Of tanning piano leather is known only
to family Of tanners in Thuringia, Germany.
This leather has but one use, the covering of
piano keys. A peculiar thing about it is that
the skins from which it is tanned are procured
almost entirely in America. It'll particular
kind of buckskin. The skin Of the common
red or Virginia deer will not make the leather,
a species of the animal known as the gray
deer, and found only in the vicinity of the
great Northern lakes, alone furnishing the
material. The German tanners have an
agency in Detroit which collects the skins of
this deer from the Indian and half breed
hunters, who supply the market. The hunters
are paid an average price Of about 20 cents a
pound for the green skins. When the skins
are returned to this country as piano leather
they cost the piano manufacturer from SIS to
SIS a pound. The worlds supply of this
invaluable and necessary material is supplied
by the Kretzchmar family of tanners, who
have six establishments in Germany, the
largest and best at Gera in Thuringia" {"

Wise Words for Wives.
Cleveland Union.


Never marry but for love, but see that thou
lowest what is lovely.-Ocid
If the man who loves her won't admire her
she'll find some one who will. Perhaps she
ism beautiful; but a woman never lived who
was not gratifed by a compliment to her per-
son rendered by graceful word or implied by
homage in glance. Men too often pooh
pooh as silly weakness or vanity what is real
ly part of the strong contrast in mental char
acter which links the sexes in magnetic ATTN
ity. Her love of dress is but one phase of
her high nature in appreciation of the beauti-
full and harmonious in color. | have known
women so exquisitely attuned that to simply
look at pansy or a rose was to thrill their
whole being as with the chords of harp. A
woman thriyes on admiration. Without it
the springs in her nature nourish fretfulness
and frowns; the homely woman becomes
homelier through neglect to water the flower
in her heart.
Why should not the husband be always the
lover? May it not be traced to lack of pro
per study of the relationship? | believe
by too complete surrender. Their very ex-
cess of love and selfsacrifce defeats their
aim A woman should study the opposite
sex. A woman is governed through her
emotions, to a great extent, man through
his senses. Her affections are deeper, quieter
and more constant. His are turbulent, less
deep seated, and more easily influenced by
passion. A woman's influence over a man is
measured by her personal magnetism. If she
fails to hold her husbands loyal love she has
either yielded herself too entirely or failed in
other ways to charm his senses, either physi-
cal or spiritual or both.
There is more magnetic power in the grace
full turn Of ribbon about q womans throat
than in a well-iroued shirt bosom or we'll
darned pair of socks, although the latter are
not TO be neglected. A pretty ankle on the
street will catch the admiring gaze of many a
benedict who daily sees prettier one at home.
The novelty aud charm suggested by stran-
ger spices his senses, appeals to his magma
ton. A wife has a rival in every other
woman. Ii she be fool she becomes jealous
aud shows il. If she be sensible woman
she besieges the fort with the same weapons
the legitimate arts Of her sex.
Wives make themselves too cheap. What
men command as right or come to regard
as matter of course they soon learn to place
a low estimate upon. Woman rules over the
heart and desire of man by divine right. She
is the queen of civilization before whom all
mankind bend the knee in homage-when
compelled. To grant as n favor what she
really desires TO give, is an art, which once
attained makes woman mistress Of the field.
The subtleiy Of the sex exerted on these lines
makes every wife largely the fashioner of her
own domestic paradise or hell, just as she
may wisely or unwisely use the knowledge.
True marriage is yet a far.of ideal. Few
grasp lis hidden meaning and fewer still have
will and courage to develope all that may be
gained in human happiness by striving to ap-
praximata the trua ideal

Tbs sikhs a Stalwart Race.
Carter Harrison's Letter in Chicago Mail.

1 OdIteT Letter III OillCASO MAIL.
The people from Benares to north of Delhi
are much more stalwart and manly than are
the Bengalese, but they in their turn are
greatly inferior to the men of the Puniab.
This word means and expresses the country
lying between the FIVE great branches of the
Indus. In this country is magnificent race of
men. The Sikh soldiers in the army are the
handsomest body of men have ever seen,
and indeed have never seen any European or
American who came anything like being
perfect model of manly beauty as several off
GERS have seen in the native Sikh cavalry.
To-day we witnessed the practice of a native
regiment at company target shooting.
The officers on horseback are simply su-
perb; afoot all show one universal defect
among the entire people of India-an almost
total absence of calf to the leg Even in
Punjab men and women have none | can
say this of women because up here there are
two things quite antipodal to our customs.
Men wesr what seem to be skirts and the
women all wear trousers very tight ones,
too, below the knee. The other singular thing
is one sees hundreds of men with boards dyed
brilliant red. A gray bearded man is rarely
seen from Lahore to Peshawer, for they take
on bright vermillion, evidently not for the
purpose of concealing age, but as sort of
beautiher. The men of Punjab proved them
selves brave by giving England more trouble
to subdue them than perhaps all the balance
of India. But when once they acknowledged
the supremacy of their new rulers, like brave
men they have shown themselves true. They
have none of the servile demeanor of the
Bengalee. They look foreigner straight in
the face-respectfully, but with an apparent
consciousness of their own dignity.

The Eaioresceuce on RrckwOrk.

Building News
The unsightly effiorescence on walls, due to
what is called "saIpetring," and noticed
generally in dry weather, is due TO several
causes. Perhaps the only satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION is that the newly brick wall is ex-
posed to dampness, or dampness in cooper
alton with something in the bricks themsel-
YES. 1t is stated that bricks made from clay
containing iron pyrites are subject to this eff
fiorescence; that the sulphur from the fuel
converts the lime or magnesia into sulphates,
and that whenever the bricks dry the sulpha-
ties evaporate, leaving behind the crystalline
appearance or effiorescence. The evil is,
therefore, due to the chemical action that
takes place between the sulphur in the fuel
and the magnesia in the clay. The mischiev-
Gus part of the effiorescence is that it destroys
the pointing and injuries the work generally.
Remedies are few. The chief object is to
stop up the pores with some solution of fatty
matter, quicklime and cement powder; but
the main thing is to avoid the particular clay
and coal fires employed to make and burn the
bricks and lime, and to mix the mortar with
animal fat

Brick Residences Should be Painted

Statistics show that people live longer in
brick houses than in stone, and wooden
houses are the healthiest. This suggests the
idea of using paint on masonry. An author
ity states that hundred years ago it was
fashionable to paint brick buildings white and
many charming old structures remain to at
test the value of the coat of paint in preserv-
ing the masonry and its pleasant, homelike
effect is foil to the vines and shrubs with
which even city houses are now commonly
adorned. If it should prove, as might be
easily ascertained, that the painted brick
houses preserve their inhabitants more effect
ually from sickness and premature death than
the unpainted ones, it would be worth while
to revive the ancient fashion, and with our
greater resources in the way of materials and
ideas, exterior coloring might become as i'm
portant an accessory to the architecture of the
twentieth century as it was to that of the
twelfth or thirteenth.

The Value of Civility.
Golden Hours.

There would be fewer broken friendships,
fewer unhappy unions and family quarrels,
were it not so much the custom amongst init
mate friends and relations to neglect the small
courtesies of life, to show less and less mutual
Difference as they grow more and more famil
lar; it is the foundation of misery in marriage,
and many a serious and life long estrangement
has begun, not from want of affection so much
as from lack of that delicate and instructive
appreciation of the feelings of others, which
makes a person shrink from saying an pleas
ant thing or finding fault unless absolutely
obliged, and in any case to avoid wounding
the offenders sense of dignity or stirring up
within him feelings of animosity; for although
many persons profess to be above taking of,
feuse at honest censure, and even seem to
court criticism, yet it must be very carefully
administered not to be unpalatable. Even
kind generous actions are often so uueouthly
performed as to cause the recipient more pain
than pleasure, while reproof or denial may
be so sweetened by courtesy as almost to do
away with any sense Of modification or disap-
poiutment. True good breeding is always in-
clined to form favorable Judgment, and to
give others the credit of being actuated by
worthy motives; it does not wish or seem to
know more about the people than they them
selves desire should be known, but it is always
prepared, when necessary to take an interest
in the affairs of others, while self is not suffer.

For Their sakes.

Do not display your child. Do not set her
in the middle of the floor to be admired. Do
not encourage her to talk in the presence of
neighbors or family friends-much less stran-
gers, unless in reply to questions. Of all the
bores that afiici American life, is the forward
little prig who stands in the middle of the
floor and demands the undivided attention of
the company, and her mother takes the lead
among foolish and inconsiderate women.
Teach your child to keep quiet, to sit still in
the background, and when addressed to reply
briefly and modestIy. The typical American
child is the horror of travellers, and the scan
dal and reproach of its refined and sensible
countrymen.

Curious markings in walnut wood are not
uncommon. A specimen remarkable for the
close resemblance of the marking to a figure
Of bird was recently exhibited at Phiadel-
phia, by Rev. Matthew Anderson. The section
had been sawed from black walnut log by
his brother, Moses Anderson, of Greencastle,
Pa, and measured about six by ten inches.
For several inches about the figure the wood
was unusually light in color. In the centre
of the slab, in the usual dark color of the
walnut, was nearly perfect silhouette of a
bird. The grain of the wood was considera-
bly, eurled in the vicinity of the picture.

Hot water.
From Sunshine.

Applied to bruise, hot water will allay
pain and prevent disceloration 1t has
superseded medical ''eye waters in the
treatment of inAamed and aching eyes. An
American author, whose excellent eyesight
was wonderful, when one considered her age
and the immense amount of literary labor she
performed, attributed it mainly to the custom
of bathing her eyes freely in water as hot as
could be borne, night and morning, a habit
continued for many years. For the bath, hot
water is incomparabIy better than cold,
which contracts the pores aud thus roughens
the skin.
Florence Nightingale says "0ne can
cleanse the whole body more thoroughly with
quart of hot water than with tubfuI of
cold y
