a young lady of this city who is on
gagged TO well-known young society
gentleman, says tho Detroit FREQ Press,
recently made an experiment to try tho
temper and habits Of her flance which
nearly resulted in disastrous conse-
quonccs. Reading her morning paper
she saw an advertisement for . domes-
tic. The number OF tho house was that
of her lovers, where he kept n sort of
bachelors hall with his father, who Is a
widowcr. 1t occurred then and thero to
Miss Il to supply tho demand. Not
In person, but by proxy. She knew OF n
tidy little German who was bright and
engaging and who wanted Il place. Sho
sent for her and gave her instructions
as TO what sho was to see and hear and
particularly charged her to observe how
Mr. +. conducted himself, what he ate,
and II no was good-tcmpercd and easy
10 please. Christine promised To watch
every thing and report at tho end of tho
week.
But before tho week was up the girl
reported with all her belongings and
her eyes overlooking with tears. She
had been asked to black Mr.. F.'s boots,
ho had ordered her about as IL she wcro
dog, and he wouldn't eat any thing but
Cruel and toast, and he swore ut her be-
cause she forgot TO wash off tho front

wrote to her lover:
You are brute. No man who was
not brute would ask woman 10 blacl,
his boots and swear at her for moments

There was frantic man went tearing
up the avenue that evening and rushed
into tho presence OF Miss Ii, but 1t
was some time before ho could mako
her understand the truth Of tho matter
or that he was not that manner OF man.
Tho girl had not seen him Ut all, but
had been employed by his dyspeptic old

Another bullet struck II heavy silver

Tho loin above the right hip and just
bclow the lower rib and passing
through the body dingonally, emerged
from tho left side OF the abdomen. AL
though it entered the ca"ity, il ap-
yarcntly contacted with no vital nb-
dominal organ and the physician does
not consider tho wound itself neccs-
Tar!ly fatal, tho only danger being
from incidental conscqucn tc8 such rs

8 inches sluare, and mark i. into GI
square inches by lines. How can
you cut it into four pieces, SO that
you have 60 square inches and the
lines meet exactly?-LAustin Revcil-
J..
The answer is simple; it cannot be
done. Tho cardboard can DO cut SO
that it will make figure 5xl3 inches,
equal to CO square inches, but the adj
ditional square inch Of surface is not
added to the cardboard, for that can
not bo increased, but il will be found
in the openings between the sever;
pieces which do not completely match.

be induced to take good books at the
start, he is seldom likely to have any
dangerous leaning toward poor ones
thereafter. Whether it be true or not
that virtue wirs followers by its inher-

edge of good literature makes tho
taste of poor reading fiat. stale and I'M
profitable Oh the mental palate. 1t is
hardly too much to say that any parent
may cultivate taste for good ]itera-
ture in his child if he is only willing to
take the trouble. 1t is sometimes hard
work, perhaps, but it can certainly be
done.
How to combine the two ends, that
of having the lad read whatever will
interest him, and having him read what
will beget in him taste for desirable
books. is n question which will have to
be answered differently in each in
dividual case. There is a point where
the two considerations come together,
but in every case the personal equation
comes in, and no general rule can Ee
laid down to cover all. In our day,
however, the field Of juvenile literature
is 81 well filled that there is the widest
latitude for choice, and this in itself
goes far toward simplifying the prob
