New York City. The aged pair who have
for fifty years shared the checkered scenes
of life, were the recipients of large
number of presents, among which were
forty dollars in money, from various
friends; gold cheese knife, silver
card receiver, book of sermons, set of
table spoons, a beautiful flora! cross. The
presentation was made by j. X. Hayward,
who is a nephew of Mr.. Hayward and a
lawyer in New York City. Response was
made by M. A. Taft and E. Colby. Among
the pleasing things of the occasion were
some appropriate poems written by
friends. The following is one of the list.
Fifty years since one bright spring time
Hand in hand you made one;
Fifty years you've toiled together,
Toed beneath life's shade and sun.
Fifty years how much deep sorrow
Do life's varying scenes conceal;
Fifty years; how much bright gladness
Do the parting clouds reveal!
Fathers, mothers, kindred, children,
These have reached the shining shore;
But you would not hence recall them,
They have only gone before.
Here to-day are gathered round you,
Friends whose hearts kind and truc
Here children, children's children,
With their loving gifts for you.
And from those who cannot meet you,
Face to face, and hand to hand;
Take, oh take, heartfelt greeting
From an absent, loving hand
May life's clOudless, peaceful sunset,
Llnger late e'er night shall fail;
Then at last TO heavenly mansions,
May you hear the Fathers call.

The evenings of great numbers Of FAM
lies are monotonous humdrunas. They
involve the assemblage Of the same peo-
pie, the same surroundings, the same
paterfamilias yawning over his paper,
and the same querulous mamma over
laden with family cares. Fresh people
with fresh thoughts, fresh atmosphere,
any thing to stir up and agitate the pool
Of domestic stagnation, are sadly needed
and sadly scarce. There needs to be also
a constant succession of such fresh peo-
pie to bring about these results. The
world is full Of men and women, and in
a better regulated life it would be the
business after the days work was done,
to entertain each other, and give each
other fresh life AS It is now, hundreds
if not thousands of our households ara
little better than cells for the incarcer.
alton of each family. Thousands are
thus worn out prematurely from utter
lack of domestic recreation. There might
be written over the graves Of knndreds
Of thousands, Bored 70 death by tho
stagnatiop Of domestic life. ''~~Yasna and

A celebrated European specialist for
diseases of the throat, nose and ear, as
serts that tuberculosis is making alarm
ing progress among our cigar smokers.
He does not attribute this to the use of
tobacco but to the manner in which ci-
gars are manufactured. Rolling the to.
bacco leaf is a craft that requires neither
strength nor intelligence, consequently
in this branch of the operation it is usual
to find male and female operatives who
are weak and diseased, and who, in con-
sequence of their infrmities, are eco
nomical employees. Most of these suffer
from scrofala or tuberculosis They

A Chinaman on Muddy Feet.

Nobody ever saw a Chinaman with
muddy shoes, no matter what the
weather, unless some hoodlums had
pushed him into puddle We take care
of our feet instinetively, and get into
habit Of walking carefully. If you watch
on muddy crossing you will see one
American after another pick his way
over cautiously, and yet land on the
other side with mud on his toes, while a
Chinaman will walk along after them AT
his usual gait, and, seemingly, not no.
ticing his feet, stepping on the other
curb with not a particle Of mud on tile
tops of his shoes. But when he crossed
the street he did not walk as the Ameri.
cans did. Had he done SO, he would
have been as muddy as they. They
stepped along gingerly on their toes, or,
at least, the front part of the foot. In
this way they put all the weight Of their
body on the thinnest part of their shoe,
from top to bottom, and when it fat
tened out with each step the mud
touched the leather The Chinaman
walked over with the weight of his body
on the heel and instep of the shoe and
the toe barely grazing the ground. The
foot of the shoe that felt his weight was
firm and unyielding, and did not spread
into the mud.-St. Louis Globe Demo.

AN ORDERLY REVOLUTION.
The Peaceful Manner In Which Monarchy
Was Abolished in Brazil.

AAAo manner IN Nh1ch monarchy
Was Abolished in Brazil.
Brazil, the only country Of South
America which has long possessed a
stable government, concluded to dis
pense with the services of its constitu-
tional Emperor the other day and re-
public was accordingly declared. Good
Dom Pedro and his family submitted to
the new order of things without muir
muir. Being told that their presence in
Brazil might cause discord, they sailed
for Europe with the understanding that
they were never to return. Thus began
and ended what is perhaps the most
orderly revolution in history.
The peaceful manner in which slavery
was abolished in Brazil was not less re-
markable than was the orderly over
throw of Dom Pedro. The dire explo-
sion which slavery caused in the United
States furnishes a strange contrast to
the event in the South American coun-
try. The leaders of the people of Brazil
apparently are themselves guided by
reason rather than by passion. It is
useless to look elsewhere for a parallel
to the peaceful action of the people of
Brazil in the two instances mentioned.
For fifty years the public men in
Brazil have imbibed the political doc
trines Of the Emperor, who was the
most liberal and most progressive of
rulers. During that time there have
been no reprisals among factions. Dom
Pedro has led them all forward to the
door of the republic, has opened it for
them, and then has stepped aside. No
other wearer of monarclical authority
can be compared with him as respecter
of the rights and wishes of his people
save the lanented Frederick III. Of
Germany. Chicago News.

''Manypeople think, " remarked tray-

''that our life is freer from monotony
than that of most people, but never was
a greater mistake made. Nothing could
be so monotonous as the never ceasing
round of cabs, hotel registers and hotel
fare. No class of men are more criti-
cised and with less reason. You sit at
home in your quiet neighborhood in the
bosom of your family and say smart
things about the familiar manner of the
travelling man toward strangers and YOU
forget that to him there are no strangers.
He is simply at home in the big round
world. He has lost his identity in anv
particular place. He has been so con
tinuously on the go with only an occas-
ional day or week with his family, that
he is no longer one of them He has
fallen out of his place in the social life
of his own home. This is not funny, it is
sad. Give the travelling man credit as
he goes whistling through the world to
keep up his spirits"

RaN FIsh and Pepper sauce.

Raw fish is common article of diet in
both Japan and Corea, and l attended a
Japanese dinner at Toxic where slices
of white uncooked trout were brought
in covered with ice and served as one of
the entrees. It was not bad to taste, and
my Japanese friends ate it with great
gusto. In Corea it is not uncomplon for
the fishermen to take bottle of Eepper
sauce along with them and to eat fish
as they take it from the hook, sprink-
ling bit of red hot chill over it, and
eating it down without cleaning any
thing off except the scales. The Core
ans are by no means particular as to the
manner in which their fish and meats
are served. The entraiIs are sold and
eaten as well as the rest of the meat,
and common dish at big dinner is a
