THE BORROWING NEIGHBOR.

Mother has often told me of n funny
time she had when she was quite a
young housekceper, afflicted with a
borrowing neighbor. This lady sell
dom had anything of her own at
hand when it was wanted, so she de-
pended upon the obliging disposition
of her friends.
One day my mother put on her
large housekeeping apron, and step
ped across the yard to her outdoor
kitchen. The kitchens in Kentucky
were never part of the house, but
always at little distance from it, in
a separate building.
Aunt Phyllis" said my mother to
the cook, was browning coffee grains
in skillet over the fire, 81 thought
told you that | was coming here to
make pound-cake and cream pies this
morning. Why is nothing ready ?"
La me, Miss Emmeline !" replied
Aunt Phyllis. Miss 'Tildia Jenkins
done carried off every pie pan and
rolling pin and pastry board, and
borrowed all de eggs and cream TO
herself. Her bakin ism t mo n begun. y
This was a high-handed proceed
ing, but nothing could be done in the
case. 1t was Mrs. Jenkins habit,
and mother had always been so ami
able about it, that the servants, who
were easygoing, never troubled
themselves to ask the mistress, but
lent the announcement borrower what
ever she desired.
Sometimes just as we were going
to church, l was too littlea at the time
to remember, mother said that a
small black boy with very white
teeth and a very wOolly head, would
pop up at her chamber door, eXclaim-
ing:
"Howdy, Miss Emmeline. Miss
'Tildia done sent me to borrow yo'
prayer-book. She goin' to church
today herself"
Or, of a summer evening, her maid
would appear with modest request
for Miss Emmeline's lace shawl and
red satin fan; Miss 'Tilda wanted to
make call, and had nothing to
wear.
All this, think, made mother per-
fectly set against our ever borro wing
so much as slate-pencil or a pin.
We were always to use our own
things, or go without. l never had
sister, but cousins often spent
months at the house, and were in and
out of my room in the freest way,
forever bringing me their gloves to
mend or their ties to clean, as cousins
will.
"Never borrow" said my mother
Buy, or give away, or do without,
but be beholden to nobody for a
loan. > From "Mother's Way" by

CHOATS ON THE SUNDA Y NEW
PAPER.

1t is not left for the pulpit to de-
paper as it is. Joseph H. Choate,
speaking in behalf of the free circu-
lating library at Chickering Hail.
New York, said:
Now, there is one feature of this
library which | admire. 1t is one of
the few wholesome influences to
which the people are allowed access
upon Sunday. Without it they are
tied up to two acknowledgements
church and reading the Sunday pa
pers. Think of that latter alterna-
t1vei Because to my mind there is
no more pern1cious and demOralizing
mental habit than the jOky and
scrappy habit of attempting to read
a Sunday newspaper. Just think of
what they are - all alike, and the
same Sunday after Sunday. Fifteen
pages of advertisements and twenty
five pages of reading matter-and
such reading matterl Two or three
columns OF foreign correspondence,
containing all the scandal of Europe,
as if we had not enough in this coun-
try; three or four columns of inter
views and descriptions of great men );
how Chauncey Depew gets up his fas-
cinating speeches; how our chief
magistrates, past and present, spend
their time; how Mr. Harrison gets
up in the night and losses the baby,
with hatterlng likenesses of Harrison
and the baby; what Mr.. Cleveland
eats for breakfast; how Carl Schurz
takes his exercise and what is his ia
vorite brand of cigars; Talmage's
last sermon, detailing what will hap
pen finally to almost everybody if
they don't look out; last, but not
least, Judge Howland's last story
no, l don't mean that, because his
last story will be the end of him; l
mean his latest story. Now what
good can come to the people of this
city who spend five hundred thou
sand to a million hours every Sunday
reading such stuff ?
We wish we had more men than
we seem to have who will protect So
ciety against an evil that is under
mining SO much that is good-men
who will protest despite gibes, insults
and injuries. When the Sunday pa
pers change their tone and cease to
invade the Sabbath with sporting
and criminal news, social small talk
and scandal, one step forward will
have been taken. AS things are now,
the editors may excuse their Sunday
issue by declaring it is not inconsis-
tent with their creed. But we trust
their creed is not greed, and that the
difference between the two will be as
slight as is the difference between the
sound

DIPLOMATIC NONSENSE.

The funniest thing in connection
with this governments diploma tic
relations, SAYS the Washington Star,
is the letters sent to the President of
the United States by the rulers of
other nations announcing births and
such events in foreign families. Such
communica tons are the custom
among the powers, and there is a
stereotyped form for them. For in
stance, on occasion of the last impor-
tant domestic happening in the
household of Queen Victoria letter
came from her to President Harrison
as follows:
"Victoria, Queen of Great Britain,
Empress of India, Defender of the
Faith, etc, etc, to Benjamin Harri-
son, President of the United States:
Great and Good Friend: l have the
pleasure of announcing to you the
birth of fine boy on the Dist inst.
to my granddaughter, the Princess
Battenberg, who is doing as well as
can be expected This event will
doubtless cement the cordial rela-
tions existing between our govern
ments. Your good friend,
VICTORIA.
This letter is written on ruled blue
paper, and to it President Harrison
replies on white vellum paper in a
big sheet as follows:
Great and Good Friend: | have
received the pleasant news conveyed
to me by your communication of the
22d inst, and am glad that the hap
Ply event came off safely. 1t is my
earnest prayer and expectation that
the said event will strengthen the
bonds of amity and friendship which
so happily subsist between our two
governments. Your good friend,
BENJAMIN HARRISON.
1t is worth noting that the Presi-
dent never sees these letters from
Queen Victoria and other sovcrcigns
at all, and the replies, which are
written in an elegant Spencerian
hand by a $1,000 clerk in the depart
ment of state, are merely taken to
him for his signature. Such is the
nonsense of diplomacy.
