My experience of men is that they are
more disposed TO hide up the faults and
mistakes of their wives than to expose
them. | nave travelled much, and peep
into more houses, both among the rich
and the poor, than most women; and |
say that such husband is rare avis
for even a working man would scorn
to ''openly sheer before visitors if any
thing went wrong. A young wife COM
mencing housekeeping, with a cook Al
most as experienced as herself, bought a
melon and boiled it. She was triumphant
and pleased to have surprise for her
husband The parlor-maid put the dish
before him, lifted the cover, and 10! the
melon stood confessed. 1t had not even
been peeled the melted butter cover
ed the dish, but had not succeeded in dis
guising the melon, which stood up and
confronted him, polished, green, and
shining. He was fastidious man, with
a quick temper naturally, but one glance
at his pleased and blushing wife kept the
temper in the back ground, and brought
the gentleman to the front. Maxwell

Omelets i'm His Shoes.

Congressman-elect Daniel Lockwood, OIL
New York. who is in the field for the
speakership of the ffty-second congress
was an orator long before his rhetoric
hel ped carry Grover Cleveland aloft. Away
back in his school days at Hamburg he
was an orator of such note that he was
chosen valedictorIan of mis- class. He pre-
pared for the event by ordering a new pair
of shoes. Late in the afternoon of the
great day the shoes came But, good
heavens! they wouldn't go on. Dan
hadn' t another pair fit to use. He sum-
moned the shoemaker to a conference, and,
while the perspiration rolled off his face,
he explained the situation.
''That S nothing" said Crispin; ''get a
couple Of eggs and break one into each
shoe"
Dan did so, and the result was charm
ing. He went into those shoes like a
ducks foot in the mud. His vaIedictory
was the greatest effort of Lockwood s
career up to that date. The words were
honeyed and the gestures were graceful as
a snake swallowing frog. All his friends
and relatives were spellbound. But right
In the midst of 1t the author stopped.
Agony was incarnate in his features. His
hair rose on end He became pale and
red in turns.
What was the matter? Had he forgot
ten his speech? No; he had just thought
of those two egg omeets, and would have
given all he had or ever hoped to have for
a chance to laugh.

WESTERN GENEROSITY.
How the Big, Gruff Conductor Como to
an Unfortunate Lady's Aid.


an Unfortunate Lady's Aid.
1t was a little incident, but it illus
trates the generous spirit of the west
ern people. A lady in boarding a
Northern Pacific train near Tacoma
was robbed of her pocketbook by some
rough looking men who iostled her in
the doorway of the car. She was
bound tor Michigan and the thieves
hadn't left her a cent Her ticket
had been drawn out with the purse,
but it fell to the floor, and some one
picked it up and gave it to the con-
ductor. That individual had a fog
horn voice, a piercing eye. and alto
gether his general appearance was
uninviting and betokened little SYM
pathy. SO the passengers thought but
they were mistaken.
AS soon as he found the distressed
Lady off went his cap, and chipping in
q half-dollar himself he announced to
the passengers that the lady had been
robbed. and he asked for contribu-
lions. Every one responded, and
when he came back and emptied the
contents into her lap there wasn't q
more pleased man in the car than the
big, gruff conductor as he listened to
the jingle Of the silver; and the woman

Maupassaut's Literary Apprenticeship.

I'M. Guy de Maupassant was never
guilty of overconfdent indlscretion,' says
the Scots Observer in sketch of this
French writer. almost alone among
those who follow the profession of letters,
he endured a rigid apprenticeship. In
his youth he sat at the feet of Louis
Boulihet; he drank wisdom at the lips of
Gustave Flaubert He observed lif: and
nature with the devotion and single mind
edness of student of painting; he made
innumerable pochades, which we're merci-
lessly criticised by his master. A high
ideal was set before him. A painter learns
to grasp the picturesque element in what
he sees. to realize at glance how scene
would compose ON canvas, so M. de Maui
PEASANT was taught to view the world
from the standpoint of literature, and,
Designating their philosophic or moral
essence, to think of all things in terms of
his own medium. His unique education
was faithful of result. 1t prevented him
from displaying his talent in the making.
When he first came before the public as
writer of prose he had already acquired
the finished grace Of master.

Stanley's Personal Appearance.

The general impression about Henry M.
Stanley is that he is large in statue. AS
a matter of fact, says the New York Sun,
Mr.. Stanley is a short thick-set man, and
scarcely picture that has been printed
shows his face exactly. The most dis
tinguishing point in his appearance is his
;,air, which is plentiful and v,ry nearly
white. There is careiessness about the
distinguished traveller which is quite
natural after many years with the savage
tribes of Africa. he likes to lounge and
to stick his hands in his pockets. The
other day, when he took walk on Fourth
avenue with his charming wife. Mr.. STAN
ley sauntered along very much as if his
feet were unaccustomed to pavements
He wore no s loves and one of his hands
was partly concealed in a t1ouser pocket.
But when Mr.. Stanley is talking about
Africa with group of interested listeners
his earnestness anc intense feeling become

Cart Horses.

The cart horse has several claims on our
attention. To lovers of the beautiful or the
picturesque be is an animal pleasant to
look upon. Hence he is common and APP
propriate iguer in paintings, where,
whether slowly drawing a huge pile of hay
or taking his ease in the stable, his most
striking characteristic is his perfect natural
nell-the naturalncss OF true son of the
soil in harmony with his surroundings.
To the historian and the antiquary he is
not devoid of interest, for it is asserted that
the old black cart horse or shire horse of
England is identical with the great
horse or war horse of the Middle Agess,
and the series of coins to which Mr.. Walter
Gilbey refers IN recent work in support of
his theory might furnish matter for a fair
y long chapter on numismatics. Looked
at, however, from practical point of view
the cart horse is useful animal, whose
value might be increased 10y careful train

who had insisted upon having the neces-

ture of two arteries performed without an
arasthetic, and subsequently declared
that the operations had given her great
pleasure.
