was issued under the coinage act of 1892.

the same eagle. One face of this coin is
like all others of its issue. Upon the re-
verse, however, the eagle and the letter

An excellent story is related Of the
way in which that inhexible disciplin'
arian, the young kaiser, was hoist with
his own petard in the person Of one Of
his own children. The little prince was
rebuked for eating with his fingers, and
threatened that if he repeated the offense
he would be sent under the table, the
proper place for little boys who emulated
the habits Of dogs. After q brief inter
val Of good behavior the ohense was re-
peated and the culpiit ordered to get un-
der the table, where he promptly pro
eeeded to undress himself, on the GROUND

THE NEW
NATIONAL
GAR M Il N I
CUTTER.

The establishment of a Cutting School
i'm I,ehighton has been instrumental in
more fully arousing public sentiment upon
one vital question than has ever before
been aroused, namely;
"THE PRACTICAL EDUCATION
FOR WOMEN"
Appealing TO your most candid judg
pent, parents, have YOU educated your
daughters in such a manner that they can
earn a good, honest living by their own eff
forts, if such thing should become neces-
sary, for little do any of ms know what is
in store for us? II Is a refined accomp-
!ishment for any lady TO be able TO look af-
ter her own clothing and see that II is made
correctly and in becoming style, and there
is no education that prepares any lady for
the responsibilities and duties of life equal
to knowing how To construct her own
clothing properly,
II is only the second consideration con
cerning this life's goods The first is pre-
pannr our food properly and next is our
clothing, and this is of the highest import
ance to all, and might mean very much 10
some of our readers. 1t is an attested fact
chat the Cutting School is a harbinger of
good wherever established, and the price
of the thorough course of instructions Civ
en- is merely nominal compared with its
great value which Is clearly demonstrated
by the best Judgment of some that have
already been doing good work with il, and
we cordially welcome any one to our In
struction Rooms to see and investigate for
themselves.
Space only permits ms TO give the names
of few who take pleasure in speaking of
Its worth,

Difference ln the Life of Men and Women
Tho ordinary woman arises from her
bed in the morning, makes the daily
round of her duties, sets her house in
order, gets her children of to school and
settles down for a quiet day Of sewing
or reading On an occasional afternoon
She makes a shopping excursion or scores
of q list Of calls. She moves generally
among the same set of people. Day after
day she stays within the home walls and
sees only the familiar family friends, the
poshman, the grocer boy, with now and
then the extraordinary excitement of a
day with the dressinaker.
What contrast to this humdrum is
the daily existence Of the man. His
journey to town by steam or horse car,
or his walk along the busy street, is fun
of incident and Of interchange Before
he has reached his place of business in
the morning he has, perhaps, discussed
the topics of the day with half dozen
different persons. His daily occupation
brings him into contact with men of a
dozen different nations. of dozen diff
ferent creeds, in a dezen different strata
of society He may not be aware Of it,
but there is in his mind constant sift-
ing analysis, Judgment of human char
acter The constant shifting Of the
Kaleidoscope shows him lives in all sorts
Of combinations, hroadens his views and
takes from him that intensity Of feeling
which belongs 70 narrowness and help:

The Arabs have no little knowledge of
the precepts of Christianity, and much
respect for them, but they occasionally
add to them observations Of their own.
"It was n noble command of the Man
Of Nazareth, says one Of their moralsts,
"that men should love their enemies, and
do good to those who hate them.
"If all men were able to follow this
precept, soon there would be no enemies
for us to love, nor despisers of ourselves
to whom we could do good.
''In this weak world we may, perhaps,
succeed in doing no more than this: so
to control our thoughts that we shall love
our friends more than we hate our enS-
mics.
For there be in the world now two
kinds of men, 10 wit: those who love
yheh friends more than they hate thei1
enemies, and those who hate their enc
mics more than they love their friends.
"Of the first of these there is hope. and
we may live with them; but the second
we should fly, as the Bedouin flies the red
curtain Of the sky behind which the si-
noon advances. Youths Companion.

Innocent mirth is most desirable
but not mirth expended at the cost
Of another's feeling; and Salisbury
unfortunate career, terminating as
II did in sickness and poverty, Is an
example OF n handsome man, hos
sessed Of fair ability, who, by utter
disregard Of loyalty to his manager
and Of respect for the public gem
orally, lost the confidence Of al who
knew him, and became a neglected
wreck. The practice OF guying is
objectionable, aud the indulgence
in il unworthy an artist or a gentle
man. The leisure hours passed in
a dressing room or the green room
afford ample time for an actors
amusement without infiicting
the exuberance Of his per-
sonal bumor upon the audi
ence. The rehearsals and sub
sequent performances Of n play are
not his property, and he has no
right 10 mutilate them. Managers
and 'eading actors are altogether too
lax in their rebuke Of this senseless
and ruinous practice. They should
neither commit the outrage them
selves nor permit il in Others.
"Where example leads the wayv
the multitude viii follow, and no
leader can rightly claim the respect
OF his company unless he shows il
To them and the public. I have a
suspicion that guying begins where
