are the weakest of mortals. and weak
~ ness is prone to compromises, In
~ his conduct toward his beautiful
AA young wife Pedro Perez showed all
the weakness of an elderly lover. He halted
between two opinions. He wanted to keep his
treasure secluded from the world, secure from
the pursuit of Parsiss treasure-seekers, and
yet he wanted to Haunt his happiness before
the eyes of those half dozen or OF competi-
tors and rivals with whom he had ridden neck
md neck in the great race for wealth. To his
few intimates Perez had boosted of his wife's
beauty, and OF the villa in which he had en-
shrned his idol. as 1t were in a temple of silver
and gold; and these on more than one occa-
sion mad expressed their desire to see the in
terror OF the temple and the goddess who
adorned it,
Perez coduetted with the situation; he de-
clared that his young wife of too retiring
and modest a nature to endure the gaze of
strangers. He compared her to the violet
shrinking within the shelter of its leaves, but
his friends were not to be put of so easily.
He argued with himself that there could be
no danger IN allowing Dolores to receive old
fogies Ike JoffrOy and HausrOth, than whom
raris could hardly furnish two less attractive
men. the former oily of complexion and obese
of figure. with greasy iron-gray hair and a bot
tie nose; the latter, lean and lantern-jawed
with foxv hair and beard and the features of a
modern ShylOck.
No there would be no risk in tantalizing these
old comrades of the Bourse with glimpse of
his elegant dOmicile and his lovely and amia-
bic wife, and IN cOnceding thus much he
would concilIate Dolores and her mother. He
had refused TO give a ball He might cUmpro-
mise the matter by an occasional dinner party;
q small. snug dinner at which only wealth and
mature years should be represented.

THE TRIALS OF PAGES.
What Befalls Them When Night SEES
sions Are i'm Progress.

The pages at the Capitol as usual thing
have very happy if sometimes busy time of
it, but occasionally the discovery is made that
their bed is not all of soft rose leaves but that
few thorns have been left therein. One of
the thorns to page life is the night session. The
average page considers the night session as an
invention OF the DEVILS for the especial benefit
of the pages. The usual night session in the
House is not very exhilarating spectacle. The
members are not working very hard and there
is very little for the pages to do. Consequently
the hardship OF the evening symposium to the
page does not come from too much work, but
rather from a lack of any.
The inclination of a young man at about IL
o'clock, who has nothing to do, is to 60 to
sleep, but woe to the unfortunate page that
yields to this insidious temptation. Let a page,
weary with the would-be eloquence of the
speakers. seek one of the sofas in the lobby
for a moment.
His intentions are good; he will merely rest
for "a moment.
Go to sleep-never.
1t would be beneath his dignity, besides he
knows the danger.
However, the gentle hum comes softly from
the foor-and-well, soon Congress, errands
and Official documents are lost in blissful
dream of base ball.
RETRIBUTIoN.
Then it is that retribution, in the shape of
half dozen brother pages, descends swiftly
upon him. His sleep has been discovered
and quietly, but with fearful energy, work
upon him has been commenced He will be a
lucky page if, when his wandering mind re-
turns from base ball to the stern realities of
life, he does not find his position very uncom-
Portable one. His legs and arms will probably
be very firmly tied to the sofa. II he looks in
glass he will not recognize himself for the
streaks of burnt cork with which his face will
be artistically decorated, while piled in more
or less disorder upon his usually rather dimin-
utlve body he will find various articles in the
way OF sticks of kindling wood, books and other
articles of vertu of a highly decorative design

Baby Culture In France.

Councilman Mills, providing for higher

Ir is bit singular that Irish potatoes

new to agriculture. However it IS pleas

compensation was given for this work,
and while they did not repeal the law
which provides for the payment Of

LONC-LlVED FRIENDS.
How Intermarriage Affects the Lives and
Success of 0uakers.

1t is quite true that many s.Friends"
live long, says the London Hospital. It
is equally true that certain circum-
stances in their history initiate against
long life. Among these latter, inter-
marriage is perhaps the most import
ant of all. The followers of George
Fox have never been very numerous,
but until late years they have been ex-
tremely ly exclusive. The inevitable re-
snlt of that has been extensive inter-
munity. The consequences of the fire.
quency of intermarriage have been,
and are still, very evident. Quakers,
many of them are decidedly anemic,
and not few are mentally feeble.
Yet, in spite of these practical and
serious drawbacks, the Friends, as
class, do more than their proportion
OF the worlds serous business, and
they manage to attain high average
of longevity. Now, this is exactly the
kind Of fact that true medical science
likes to get hold of and to interrogate
and learn from. What is the reason,
asks the sensible man, why the
Quakers, with SO many undoubted
disadvantages, aLtaln Sucn a nlTn aver
age of success in all that constitutes
worthy life, and also succeed in enjoy
ing their success to an exceptionally
old age? The reason, we are convinc-
ed, is to be found III their quiet ha bits
and disciplined life. An ordinary doc
tor, or even layman, would probably
have felt much more interest in the
subject at this point if we had been
able to affirm that the Quakers owed
their success and long life to certain
drugs, as for example, to arsenic,
phosphorus, strychula, and the like. or
to certain methods of feeding, as vege-
tarianism, or meat-eating, or fruit
eating, or wine-drinking. or teetotal-
ism, or smoking, and SO ON. But we
submit that that shows want of real
mental capacity, For what, after all,
is the true Importance of the subject?
Does it not consist in the undoubted
character of the results? The results
are really the things to be considered.
AS matter of fact the Quakers are
successful in life. AS matter of fact
they do not live long. Then, surely,
true science will not curl the lip of
scorn because these results are obtained
by what may be called natural and
simple" processes instead of by elabor-
ate preparations or out-ot-the-way
methods,
