WHY QUAY WAS so SERENE.

1t now appears that Quay's serenity
under the terrible ordeal OF party crit
icism and arrangement through which
he passed was, in a measure, owing to
his confidence in his ability to execute
the new plan OF carrying elections
which he had had in mind for more
than year. He might have silenced
many OF his critics by taking them in
to his confidence, for they, like him
and could have been won over to any
plan of party procedure that promised
satisfactory results. Their object in
pressing the Force bill was not in the
nope OF rendering elections any more
fair, but because they considered it es-

The Golden Casket.

The Germans have a story which tho
home loving people love to repeat. A
father, when his daughter became q
bride, gave her golden casket with the
injunction not to pass it into other
hands, for it held a charm which in her
keeping would be of finestimated value
to her as the mistress of the house.
Not only was she to have the entire
care of it, but she was to take it every
morning to the cellar, the kitchen, the
dining room, in the library, the bed
room, and remain with it in each place
for five minutes, looking carefully about.
After the lapse of three years the
father was to send the key, that the
secret talisman might be revealed.
The key was sent. The casket was
opened. 1t was found to contain an
old parchment on which was written
these words: "The eyes of the mistress
are worth 100 pairs of servants hands,
The wise father knew that a practice
of the inspection followed faithfully for
three years would becomes habit and
be self perpetuated-that the golden
casket and the hidden charm would
have accomplished their mission

A Devoted Servant.

A Devoted Servant.
Mr.. and Mrs. T Young married
people over in BroOkly Il, of comfortable
but not pretentious fortunes, recently
had occasion to wonder at new defer
ence that seemed suddenly to have
crept into the bearing of their acquaint-
anceS toward them. 1t was little in
explicable, to be sure, but none the less
delightful, and so they went on enjoy
ing it even while they wondered about
it.
Now short time before the young
housewife had engaged demure look
ing maid, very jewel of a servant and
wholly devoted 20 the family, but that
this maid could have anything to do
with the new state of affairs had not
yet occurred to them.
On one of the warm days Mrs. T -
met friend on the street, and paused
for a moments greeting.
"How very fortunate you are to have
the luxury of catching whenever you
wish this dreadful weather. cOngratu-
lated her friend.
Watching whenever we wish!' echoed
Mrs.T- 81 do not understand YOU. y
Haven't you a yatch of your own
this summer ?" asked her friend.
"Neither this summer nor any othet
summer" said Mrs. T-pOsitively.
"Why," answered the friend, a fort
night ago my husband and 1 called at
your home on Sunday afternoon.
Your maid came to the door and told
us that Mr.. T-and yourself had gone
out for the day in your new yatch."
Mrs. Unused deeply thereat, but
decided to say nothing to the maid. A
few days later, however, a woman friend
calling said: by the way, l have not
yet seen you driving in your new car
riage, think"
"But haven't any new carriage" re-
piled Mrs. Tn amaze. "What do
you meaE?"
"Why," answered her visitor, short
time ago when l called your maid told
me thst you had gone out driving to
try your new horses"
A sudden light broke upon Mrs.
T-s mind. On the instant of her
guests departure she sought out her
faithful servant.
"Mary, she said, did you tell Mr.. and
Mrs. Mot long ago that We had
gone out in our new yacht?"
"Yes'm," said Mary.
"And did you tell Mrs Chat
had gone out to try my new horses?"
"Yes'm," again said Mary.
"And have you told any other thing.
like that to other peopley"
"Yes'm."
And then it came out that not only
was Mary perfectly devoted to tn.
family fortunes, but was more ambi
tious for the elevation thereof than the
family itself, and that upon every pos
sible occasion she had given like in
formation to their friends. To one
visitor she had said that they had gone
out to refurnish their country home, tc
another that they. had gone coaching
with party of friends, and to still an
other, who had called in the evening
that they were giving at Delmonico's
on that particular night.
"Oh, Mary, how could you 2" moaned
the little mistress. "Don't you seS
what trouble you have b.Ought upon |
us?"
Il amt seen none yet, responded the |
astute maidcl.. Everybody looks |
pleased an goes away aud comes back |
quick again. an isn't that wha. you
like?" And wasn't it little unjust
that Mary's devotion should have been

The Princess of Wales.

saw the Princess of Wales driving
on Picadilly on her way back to Marl-
barough House from her visit to the
Royal Academy. She was becomingly
and tastefully dressed in brown silk and
velvet, but truth cOmpels me to say that
her beauty is decidedly on the wane.
To be sure It's time she is nearly for
ty-six-but she has preserved her deli
cate lOveliness, so long unimpaired that
one parts with an illusion on Deholding
her now. She is "fearfully and Won
derfully made" up, though very artisti-
cally, and wears quantities of false hair
which is lighter, not redder, than her
own locks used to be in by-gone days.
RumOr declares that her Royal High
ness wears wig, and she certainly
indulges in too great mass of false
tresses to suit either the shape Of her
head or the delicate outline of her
features. In her photographs she is as
beautiful as ever, but seen near at hand
in broad daylight one cannot but be
amazed at the amount of artifice en-
plOyedin preserving even the shadow of
her youthful charms. This process
of painting and powdering and pencil
ing and berigging ones self is always
the mistake into which royal ladies who
have great beauties invariably fall when
they become advanced in life. The
Empress Eugene was fragrant example
of this form of error. Before the down.
fall of the Empire she was the veriest
type of Dickens Mrs. Skewton" that

ing vainly with time to retain the per-
fectiOn of her youthful charms.-LOn-

Education.

A Detroit father has undertaken a

children, and he is trying to make them
give up slang, the ambiguous terms Of
speech, and other peculiarities affected
by the youth of the day. Yesterday

waiting impatiently for the book. A

"Nell, why don't you bring it?
Bring what, sir?
"The book | wanted"
"You did not say you wanted me t.
get it" said the daughter in a demur
voice, "you asked me if | could reacl

The Obedient Elephant.

In some countries in Asia an ele-
plant is made to carry the flag in
battle, writes J. Judson in Our Little
Ones. This is because the elephant is
so tall, and the soldiers can easily see
the flag flying from his back.
One of these elephants, which be-
longed to the Poona host, was very
brave and very kind, but he would
obey the order of no one except his
mahout, or driver.
One time, while a very fierce fight
was raging, the driver called out to
him:
"Stand, my brave beast, stand p
A moment later the mahout received
fatal wound and fell to the ground,
where he lay beneath a pile Of wounded
and slain.
The obedient animal would not
move, though the battle ragged fiercely
around him. The Poona soldiers, who
feared they were being overcome, were
cheered on by the sight Of the flag still
floating from the elephants back.
He never stirred foot, and all
through the hot fight, the noise, the
smoke, the confusion, listened patiently
for the voice of his master.
Sharp spears were hurled at him, a
score of javelins pierced his sides, his
long ears dripped with blood, but he
stood like rock.
"Come toward, my men," cried the
Poona captain "our flag still floats
and the battle will yet be ours"
His men, discouraged and ready tc
fly, rallied at this command, and with
a cheer for the flag pressed forward.
In short time they won the victory
and put the enemy to fight.
And then they gathered around the
brave elephant, offering to lead him
where he could be fed and cared for
But, though wounded and worn, the
obedient creature would not move un
til he heard his masters voice. Tha
master could never speak again.
A rider was sent in great haste to
place fifty miles away, where lived tn
drivers little son whom the elephan
knew and loved.
When the little boy was brought t
the battle ground the elephant showe'
very plainly that he was glad to Sc
him and permitted the child to lea
him away.

A Few DOn'ts.

Don't tell the faults or cute sayings
of your child in his presence.
Don't say ooh, do hush up?" or
Don't bother me with so many ques-
tions," when a child questions you. If
he asks for the sake of knowing, answer
him, though he asks "seventy-seven
times seven" questions a day, and teach
him to remember what you tell him.
When you promise a child some
thing, don't forget to fulfill the promise
to the letter. If you are not scrupu-
lous to do just as you agree, you may
expect the little one to set you down.
Don't trample merciless under foot
the wishes of a child, but respect them
as far as possible.
Don't manifest a spirit of Partially.
Children are sure to detect this.
Don't encourage in small child
that for which you will punish him
when older.
Don't do and say things for the sake
of causing him to show anger and then
scold because he does so.

The Salt of the Earth.

Salt in the whitewash will make it
stick better.
Wash the mica of the stove doors
with salt and vinegar.
Brass work can be kept beautifully
bright by occasionally rubbing with
salt and vinegar.
Damp salt will remove the discolora-
ton of cups and saucers caused by tea
and water. Apply it with nail brush,
scrub we'll and dry thoroughly.
If, after having a tooth pulled, the
mouth is filled with salt and water it
will allay the danger of having a hem
orrhage.
Salt as tooth powder is better than
can be bought. 1t keeps the teeth
brilliantly white and the gums hard
and rosy.
If the feet are tender or painful after
long standing or walking, great relief
can be had by bathing them in salt
water. A handful of salt to a gallon
of hot water is the right proportion.
