Grandma in the Family,

What treasure is grandma" to the happy
child who is blessed with one! He knows he
will never find her too "busy," as the mother
often is, to attend to his numerous wants.
She can always find button just the right
size. She has always on hand an unlimited
supply of tail for his kite. She has always
just the right kind of piece of string for his
top and she always has time TO mend his
mittens, help him to hunt for his school
books, and hear him say that line of hard
spelling" To her with all his little conf
dences he goes, fearing no ridicule, but shure
of such sympathy as no one else can give. To
her he unfolds all his plans and aims, know
ing that her perfect faith in him will discover
every element of success in them, because
they are his. TO her does the trembling little
transgressor go with his confession of wrong
doing, for she can explain to mother, so much
better than he could, how he meant to obey,
but "before he thought" he did the very thing
forbidden

SOap Bubbles that Will Last,

To make soap bubbles that will last for
several hours is easy enough if the following
liquid be used: -.i.-#s
Dissolve one part by weight of Marseilles
soap, cut into thin slices, in forty parts of
perature of GO deg. Fahrenheit, and, after
shaking them together long and violently,
leave them to rest for some days. A clear
liquor will settle, with turbid one above.

Settling q Duel.

An amusing story used to be told of a wag
who accepted challenge to fight duel. On
the appointed day he sent word to his oppo-
nent to chalk on a board an outline OF his,
(the challenged party's) figure, and if the
challenger hit it he would consider himself
wounded or dead, as the case might be.
This story may possibly have originated
from one told in the History of Hartford,
w." of Consider Bardwell, an irascible inn
keeper of that town. .....
He was often at variance with his neigh
bors and once he and guest having quar-
relied, agreed to fight duel. AT the appointed
hour the adversary appeared, armed with a
shot gun. Bardwell loved joke, and, being
very busy, said to him:
tom, I'll tell you what I'll do: You go
out and set up board about my size and
shoot at it, and if you hit it I'll acknowledge
myself killed, and treat the crowd"

Wear and Tear.

One of the annoyances to which popu-
lar restaurant, as well as hotels, is subject
ed, is continual curse of petty thieving by
patrons. Ifsoap ofgood quality is used in
the wash rooms, it disappears as fast as it is
put out. Hair brushes and combs are car
ried away every day, and, strange as it may
seem. every day finds restaurant doing
big business short on its knives, spoons forks.
cups, butter dishes, saucers, and even plates
The cruets in the casters and salt and pepper
shakers also disappear In the hotels the
loss in fine glassware in which drinks are
served is considerable annually, and towels
are carried away by the score. There are
hundreds of people who were never known
to buy matches, but they always fill their
boxes from the public supply. This is all
annoying and quite expensive, but it is one
of the items of the wear and tear in business

. French BnlI.

Max Rel says, in Jacques Bonhomme,"
that "Irish bulls" are common among French
soldiers, though they are not found else
where in France. He reports the following,
as one of which Paddy might be proud:
A French soldier was ordered by corporal
to dig pit and bury in it quantity of rub
bish. He did so, and then discovered that
there was no room in the pit for all the earth
which had been dug out to make it. In his7
trouble he went to the corporal to ask5what
he should do.

My plan to fill one little day;
Pleasure and toll were gagged and weighed
This hour for work, and that for play,
And each for each made room and way.
But Interruptions all day long,

Friendship laid letters on the noon,
And fate drew sudden burdens down.
And hours were short and strength failed
And darkness came the day to drown;
Hope changed to grief and smile to frown.

And wisdom is to folly brought
And all the day has gone for naught

No Anxiety About Herself.

Among the guests at an old lady's recent
birthday party was her son. AS the old lady
was celebrating her centennial and the son
was eighty years old, they made remarka-
BILE couple. The mother, in spite of her years,
was SO strong and vigorous, both mentally
and physically, that it seemed almost in
credible that she had rounded out full
century of existence, and her son had been
absent from her several years. The meeting
between them had been very affectionate,
and they had remained close to each other
during the sons stay. When the time came
for him to go, he embraced his mother, say
ing, wistfully, swell, mother, suppose this
is the last time shall ever see you" The
mother looked up quickly and astonished.
"Why, dear, what's the matter ?" she asked.
"DOn't YOU feel well ?" .

How to Remain Youthful.

The woman who cries must expect to have
faded eyes and there is nothing that will
breed SUCH deep burrows adown the cheeks
as the little salty tears, of which the nervous,
fretful woman seems to have such surpris-.
ing quantity The woman who would re-
tain her youth steers as clear of unnecessary
worry and repining as she would of the
plague: She rises superior to the petty an,
noyances of the day; keeps her face studious-,
ly turned on the bright side of life and is re-
paid by unfurrowed cheeks and the entire
absence of the tel-tale crowsfeet. Such
woman is never day older than she wants
to be, and she cancling to "just twenty-five"
for a decade and be living verification of the,
statement.

Lifting the Hat.

Do boys ever think as they raise their hats
to lady or girl friends, why respect should be
shown in this way? Here is the explana-
ton of the custom:
origin during the age of chivalry, when it
was customary for knights never to appear
in public except in full armor. 1t became
custom, however, for knight upon enter
ing an assembly of friends to remove his he'll
met, signifying, 81 am safe in the presence of
my friends"
The age of chivalry passed away with the
fifteenth century, but among the many acts
of courtesy which can be traced back to its
influence, none is more direct in its origin
than that of lifting the hat to acknowledge
the presence of friend.
