his part against Tubing. His
mother tried in vain to per-
suade him that baths were inevitable
she finally gave the nurse orders one
morning to let him have his own way.
Prince Henry, confident that he had
gained remarkable victory, was exult-
ant, and when he set out for his morn

triumph. He INDUCED in sundry taunt-

returning home he was surprised to no.

FIFTH AVENUE BELLIES.

The Street Is Poor School for Girls
Who Expect to Become Wives
Among the various walks of life
from which men choose their wives,
fashionable promenades are by no
means the most eligible.
Il really think my daughter would
spend her whole time in Fifth avenue if
/ would let her." said mother in our
hearing the other day.
MADAM" said we, ''dont let her,"
Fifth avenue is poor school for girls
who expect to become wives. What
sensible man would desire to marry
mere gadder and shopper? And surely
no young lady is ambitious of marrying
a fool.
That belle and beauty should de-
sire to be seen and admired is natural
enough, but the prettiest thing in the
world if continually on exhibition be-
comes an object too familiar to be much
valued. A fair creature, who divides
her time between studying the fashions
at the millinery and dry-goods stores
and sailing up and down the sidewalk
to display the same, is not likely to
shine in domestic life as the head of the
home department..
Young men, who are blessed with
good mothers and place a proper esti-
mate on home virtues and home COM
forts are not, as general thing, eager
to transfer the butterflies of fashion.

the best husbands-are seldom serious

who are always on parade, weather per-
uniting.
Even your men about town have an
idea that wife should be a home b0dy

BRASS MULE MEDICINE.
A Chinese Cure That is Simpler Than the
Patent Drugs of America.

a Chinese Cure That Is Simpler Than tne
Patent Drugs of America.
A traveller recently returned from Pc
king says that he saw there peculiar
method of cure. In temple outside
one OF the city gates is to be found
brass mule of life size supposed to have
wonderful healing properties. Patients
suffering from every imaginable disease
seek this temple to obtain cure.
The method pursued is as follows:
Suppose you suffer from sclat1ca, you
go with all speed to this famous
temple, and having discovered the partie-
ular part of the brass mule correspon-
ding to the painful region of your own
body, you must rub the animal certain
number of times, and then with the
same hand shampoo your own disabled
member, and then-weQ then the pain
goes.
The special feature of this method Of
cure is its delightful simplicity. Is your
toot aching? just scrub the mules
teeth and afterward your own, and VOLTA!
the cure is complete. Have you an ul-
Ger of the cornea? Pass the tips of your
fingers to and 1ro over the particular
eyeball of the mule, and then with we'll
regulated pressure rub repeatedly the af-
flicted eye.
The mule has unhappily lost his sight
during the many years he has been en-
gagged in his benevolent work, the eye
balls, we are told, having been gradual
ly worn away, as the result of constant
friction until now you have only the
empty orbit to operate upon.
The animal is patched in all directions
with fresh pieces of brass to put on to
cover holes produced by the constant
friction of eager patients, and a new,
perfectly whole mule stands ready at
hand, awaiting the day when his old
colleague, having fallen to pieces in the
temple, shall give him an opportunity
of likewise benefiting posterity.-Chi-

A COMMUNAL QUARREL.
Two English Birds That Acted in a
Singularly Human Way.

Two English Birds That Acted in a
Singularly Human Way.
In the yard of Scranton bird student
pair of English sparrows began few
weeks ago to get ready to go to house,
keeping. They took up their abode in a
little box that was fastened to the top
of pole. Other sparrows undertook to
occupy the box, but the pugnacious first
corners soon drove them away, and from
that time on the plucky pair fixed up
their household and got every thing in
readiness to raise a family without be-
ing disturbed by their apparently envi-
GUS neighbors.
When the industrious birds were near
ly ready to settle down to a quiet mar
ried life, an accident happened that
caused a row between the pair. One day
before the female had begun to sit, her
husband fitted away and was gone
good deal longer than usual. During
his absence the female busted herself
by flying from the nest to the yard and
back, adding finishing touches to her
household and sprucing things up inside
of the box. By and by Mr.. Sparrow re-
turned, but he didn't look as neat and
natty as he did when he sailed away.
In some way he had lost all of his tail
feathers while he was gone, and his wife
wouldn't have any thing to do with him
or let him enter the house. He seemed
to try to explain matters to her, but she
wouldn' listen to him at all, chirped at
him spitefully, and fought him when
ever he attempted to approach her.
The student knew that the bObtailed
bird was the rightful husband by pecu-
liar mark on his head, and he watched
the result of the family trouble with
deep interest. For two days the un-
happy husband coaxed and begged his
wife to treat him as she had formerly
done, but his pleadings made her all the
more determined to get rid of him for
good. All at once the bobtailed spar
row disappeared, and has never been
seen around there since. The female
continued to occupy the box, and inside
of three days she got another husband,
set up housekeeping anew, and in due
time Matched out a nest full of little
ones.-N. Y. Sun.

THE DEATH PLANT.
re DlstiIls n Deadly Perfume Which
Kills Insects and Small Birds.

nc DlstiIls n Deadly Perfume Which
Kills Insects and Small Birds.
A magnificent kali mujah, or death
plant of Java, has been recently received
here by Mrs Madison Black. The spec
linen, which is TO only living one that
has ever been brought to this country,
was sent Mrs. Black by her brother,
jerome Hendricks, who went out as a
missionary to the island. The kali
mujah is found only in the volcanic dis
tricts of Java and Sumatra, and then
but rarely. 1t grows from two to three
and half feet in height, with long,
slender stems armed with thorns nearly
an inch long, and covered with broad,
satin-smooth leaves of a heart shape
and of a delicate emerald on one side,
and blood red, streaked with cream, on
the other.
The flowers of the death plant are
large, milk-white and cup-like, being
about the size and depth of large cof-
fee cup and having the rim guarded by
fine, brier-like thorns. The popularity
of the plant lies in these flowers. which,
beautiful as they are, distill continually
deadly perfume so powerful as 20 over
come, if inhaled any length of time, q
full-grown man, and killing all forms of
insect life approaching it. The per-
fume, though more pungent, is as sick
ingly sweet as chloroform, which it
greatly resembles in effect, producing
insensibility, but convulsing at the
same time the muscles of the face, es-
pecially those about the mouth and
eyes, drawing the former up into a grin.
An inhalation is followed by violent
headache and a ringing in the ears,
which gives way to temporary deaf
ness, often total while it lasts.
Other plants seem to shun the kali
mujah, which might be termed the Ish-
mael of the vegetable kingdom, for it
grows isolated from every other form Of
vegetation, though the soil may be fer
tile. All insects and birds instinctively
seem to avoid all contact with it, but
when accidentally approaching it have
been observed to drop to the earth, even
when as far from it as three feet, and,
unless at once removed soon died, evinc-
ing the same symptoms as when ether
lied.
Mr. Hendricks, who writes describing
how he secured the specimen sent his
sister, says he discovered it first by see
ing bird of paradise he was endeavor-
ing to capture alive fall stunned by the
deadly ordor of the kali mujah, and on
examining the plant, though warned by
the natives to let it alone, himself ex-
perienced the headache and commissions
which are it's invariable results.-Sa-

TRAVELLING FOR PLEASURE.
Let Nothing Disturb the Mental Quiet
Necessary to Enjoyment.

Let Nothing Disturb the Mental Quiet
Necessary to Enjoyment.
There are people so organized that it
is mistake for them to travel by any
means except those of books. Their
explorations into the world should be
confined to their own firesides and piaz-
zas, using the medium of other mems
eyes and pens to know the world that
lies beyond their gateways, so Little are
they adapted to bear the contact with
other people or the change of habit that
q change of place involves.
There are people who, to be endurable
as travellers, would need to have their
home put on wheels, with all its be-
longings, so dependent are they on
things" to be comfortable. Their
bones actually seem to form them
selves to certain chairs, their
appetites to certain seasonings; and no
chair offers rest, or food feeds them, but
that to which they are welded, and
from which they can not be divorced.
Such people should never leave home,
both for their own good and that Of
other people.
The first requisite of every traveller
is the power to adapt himself to emer-
gencies; sleep on feathers if no other
bed is available, get on it determined to
rise refreshed for the next day and it is
experiences; learn to eat food cold, il
that is the only way available; eat
bread and drink milk, if the food offered
can not be eaten; learn to make food a
minor mater, but value nutrition be-
cause it is necessary if the journey is to
give increased mental power; avoid
making fuss" about things
that can not be altered, both
for your own sake and that Of
those about you. There are people
who imagine that the impression they
make of their social Importance at
home is in exact ratio to the amount OF
complaining and fussing they infict on
porters, walters and maids. There is
no surer indication of the novice in
travelling than this very feature. The
experienced traveller expects a certain
percentage of discomfort, and has
adapted himself to it, so that it passes
without comment.
1t is wise spirit of philosopy that
accepts the inevitable and adjusts itself
to meet it. Kicking against the pricks
may be discipline, but more often it re-
suits in nervousness and bad temper.
Remove the pricks if possible, but
avoid them if they can not be removed.
Whether the traveller is a soiourner
at one place for an hour or a month, it
is well to treat the EGO" as he treats
his wardrobe, using the kinds of moods
that will endure the friction of travel
with the least evidence of wear. He
must expect the world to be human
even if he has started out for period
of rest and refreshing. Meet expe-
rience as the normal individual meets
people, seeking to find the best side,
the at, ,.oing side, but making it prin-
ciple that nothing shall disturb the
mental quiet necessary to the wise man
who is determined TO benefit by a Jour
ney into the world outside of familia.

There is proof that really great
man rises superior to the limitations
OF circumstances in the incident recent
ly related of the New Hampshire land
lord who made requisition on this city
for six young men to proceed at once to
the mountains, and there, arrayed in
tennis costume during the day and con-
yentional evening dress at night, assist
in entertaining the guests at the hostel
ry, presumably the maiden element for
the most part, living on the fat of the
land, meanwhile, gratis. The increas-
ing scarcity of young men at our summer
hotels has proved more deleterious to
profit than even a combination of cold
weather and high prices, and it was in
evitable that something radical should
be undertaken. The New Hampshire
man mentioned is evidently abreast Of
