squeIching a Terror.


Among the passengers who landed in
Detroit from a western train the other
morning, was a young man wearing q
cowboy hat, a bear-skin overcoat, the
claw of grizzly bear as a breastpiu, and
other outward tokens of being a person
from the far west: As he hung around
to make some inquiries, officer Button
queried of him:
"From Colorado ?"
No, from Montana ?"
~You can shoot, throw the lasso, and
uSe the bowie-knife, I suppose ?"
Killed your man ?"
"Three of en-"
Going to stop over ?"
Yes, for a few hours. I've heard a
good deal about Detroit and want to see
the town.
Yes. Let me give you pointer. We
have a little bit of sawed-off man in
town who had one of his ears sliced of

Do the authorities allow him TO hop

They can't help themselves. I'm Civ

An Eye for Beauty.


If ever man likes tc have pretty
woman, it is when he is sick. When
young man decided to go to a hospital,
his greatest inducement was the hope of
having one of the young and beautiful
nurses he had read about in books min
ister to him. He imagined a sweet Great
ure, tender and hopeful, bending over
him, her charms enhanced by bewitch-
ing cap and apron
When the doctor called the following
DAY he found his patient restless disturb
ed The hospital seemed to have no
charm for him.
"Homesick, eh p asked the doctor, a.
he felt his pulse.
"Oh, no."
What is the trouble, them
Doctor" said the young man family,
sits the nurse.
~Oh, see. Too rigorous, But you
know that Is for your own good
at isn't that Il expected she would
be young and beautiful, but she's old
enough to be my Grandmother, and as
homely as a hedge fence"
"All the better, said the doctor you
won't fall in love with her"
Bot the homely nurse scored a sue
cess. As the weeks rolled on she waited
upon the patient 50 kindly and her ser
vice was 50 faithful that he outgrew the
desire for the pretty face.
Another proof of the proyerb, Hand
some is that handsome does.-Deiroi

A Modern Heroine.

The latest heroine to come before the
public is Sister Margaret France, Of st.
Victors Convent, near Montreal, which
was burned on Wednesday morning
July sth. The convent contained a large
number Of deaf mute children as pupils,
but seems to have had no fire escapes, al
though the children were lodged on the
sixth floor. At an hour in the morning
when sleep is the soundest Sister Marga-
ret, in charge Of the sixth floor dOrmito-
~, awoke, to find the room on fire and
the children flocking around her. The
stairway was on fire, and the would-be
rescuers who came from the neighbor-
hood had no ladders. A worse outlook
for successful escape could scarcely be
imagined yet this one woman saved the
children and herself, too.
She gathered them in the corner Of the
building iarthest from that part in which
t6be 81 bed tf6 s5tt6lhg. oSeTsd : usf ;-; en@e
one by one, to the ground. She kept at
her work for half an hour and until the
last child was safely landed; then slip
ped down the rope herself, with her
hands and arms blistered by the heat
and the hair singed from her head, and
when she reached the ground-fainted
That was ike a woman. She can dis
play superhuman energy and courage in
cases ofemergency, bat when the crisis
is passed the reaction is severe and her
nerves cannot stand it so she faints.
Few women, however, would have had
the cOolness and presence Of mind dis
played by Sister Margaret in thinking so
quickly and acting 80 promptly in the
midst Of confusing circumstances. She
is heroine Of the first water and should
be celebrated as such. Her devotion 10
duty at the probable cost of life was as
striking and as finely displayed as that OF
any Of the heroines who stand high in
the annals Of history. She should have
hon0rs while she lives and monument
when she dies.
But what should those in authority
have who put multitude of children to
sleep on the sixth floor of building
without ire escapes ?

A Beautiful Face.

Somebod said it was a beautiful face,
and the second somebody who looked at
it discovered it wasn't young face,
while the third somebody said that II
was not a correct face, but still they all
united in saying it was beautiful face
/ viii tell you how it happened 70 be 20.
1t was the face of woman who, early IN
life, when she was a girl like you and
Kate and Dorothy and Mary discovered
that her face would only be beautiful if
she did not allow herself to speak the
pettish word, or think the unkind
thought; that petulance and sullenness
drew down the corners Of her mouth
until they made lines there; that anger
gave her corrugated brow, and that a
violent indignation made her draw her
lips close together, made them lose their
Cupid's arrow shape and become thin
and pursed up.
She learned that ill-temper affected her
complexion Now, you laugh at that
But it is true, nevertheless. Every
part of the human being Is effected by
the mental action, and anger is quite as
likely to give you indigestion and dys-
pepsia as it is to give you headache and
make you feel nervous. Indigestion and
dyspepsia mean dull eyes and a sailow
skin; 80, quite irrespective Of its being a
virtue to restrain your angry passion, you
see it is a good beauty preserver.
The woman who, as girl never learns
exactly how undesirable it is TO show out
ward visible signs of ofpeevishness or irri-
liability, will certainly have outward visi-
BILE signs Of them on her face and when
she is the age of this woman-this wOm-
an who is described as having a beauti-
fol face-hers win be wrinkled and ugly.
Ugly is very disagreeable word. You
know it doesn't mean lacking in fine
features; it doesn't mean not having
skin like strawberries and cream, but IT
means being repulsive and disagreeable.
And so, NV dear girl, that's what you
must not do. You must when you are
fifty, have beautiful face-the result Of
a careful consideration of your temper
and the outspoken words that proclaim
it a consideration of such weight that it
never lets the ugly, angry words even
formulate, let alone express themselves.

Ann Denman's Work.


Any young woman who scorns domes-
tic life in the belief that she is fitted for
a wider sphere, will do well to read the
following anecdOte taken from the ex-
perience Ofthe sculptor flaxman
shortly after his marriage, Sir Joshua
Reynolds one day said to him
@Flaxman, am told you are married ;
if 50. sir, tell you are ruined for an ar
tist"
Flaxman went home, sat down beside
his wife, and taking her hand, said
@Ann, I am ruined for IN artist.
aHow 50. John? What has happen
ed? Who has done II?
at happened he replied, ain the
church, and Ann Denman has done Il.
He then repeated Sir Joshua's remark,
and with it the often expressed opinion
Of the great man that a student who
would excel must bring his entire pow
ers to bear upon his art and also the
conclusion that no man could be great
artist who had not studied the MASTER
piece Of his profession at Rome and
Florence.
aAnd I, said Flaxman, drawing up
his little figure to its full height, Il would
be a great artist"
"And a great artist you shall be, " said
his wife, "and visit Rome. too, if that be
really necessary"
'But how asked Flaxmsn.
"Work and economize, rej0ined the
brave wife II viii never have i said
that Ann Denman ruined John Flaxman
for an artist"
q viii go to Rome said Flaxman,
@and show Sir Joshua that vedloek IS ioI
a mans good, rather than his barn"
Five years Of hard work and strict
economy did accomplish this object
The pair went TO Rome, spending seven
years there, and Fiaxman was able to
affirm TO the end Of bis life that bis sue
ces was largely the result Of his marriage,

A Lawyers Story.

In trial in the United States Cour1
where a young man had been indicted
for passing a counterfeit ten-dollar bill,
the counsel Of the latter, c. A. Baldwin,
objected to General Strickland's course in
endeavoring 10 prove by business men
the fact that the bin in question was a
counterfeit, but to no purpose
Finally, improving 4 favorable chance,
Mr.. Baldwin substituted a good bin for
the counterfeit, which genuine money
General Strickland then proved by three
business men to be the rankest kind Of
counterfeit. Therenpon Mr.. Baldwin We
hemently demanded that attention be
given to his objections, and the presiding
Judge insisted that the district attorney
send out for bank cashier and an ex-
pert.
With great confidence General Strick-
land handed the expert the bill After
establishing his business and his expert
ence in handling money-and said
State to tie jury whether, in your
opinion, that bin is good or bad
@This is a good bill, SIR, - returned the
witness.
"What Z" shouted the attorney, f" do
you mean to say that bill is not coun-
terfeit ~
Yes, sir If you viii bring it down
to the bank, We will give you gold for
it."
Then there vas a scene, in the midst
Of which Mr.. Baldwin managed to ex-
plain to the court that he had changed
the bills without the knowledge OF the
district attorney, and that, in view Of the
fact that three good business men bad
testified that a genuine bill was coun-
terfeit, he thought considerable allow
snce should be made for his client-aR
ignorant country boy-in mistaking a
counterfeit for a good bill. The jury were
evidently impressed with the idea, for
they raturned verdict of acquittal.-

An Anecdote OF Angelo.

Michael Angelo, at a time when Italy
paid 50 much attention TO ancient art
that modern had no chance to be judged
fairly, had, it Is said, to resort to a strata
gem to teach the critics the fallacy Of
shaping their judgments by fashion or by
reputation. He seulptured statue rep
resenting a sleeping beauty. and break
ing Of an arm, buried il in place where
excavations were being made. 10 was
soon found, and landed by critics and the
public as q valuable relic Of antiquity, far
superior to anything done for eertnries.
When Angelo thought it had gone far
enough. heprOduced the broken arm and
TO the great modification Of the critics.

REUBEN's CHOICE.
BY IosErulsE rOLLAsn

She's busy little housewife,
II Is true beyond doubt,
For with light and nimble footsteps
All the day she moves about
In the cellar or the gRrret
You will find her If you look
In the parior or the kitchen
For she dearly loves TO cook.
i is not her vain ambition
In society toshine,
And gay balls and entertainments
Are not strictly in her line
But she likes TO have things tidy,
And quite free from odds and ends,
And with special dainty dishes
Loves 10 entertain her friends.
She is sweeping or she's dnsting.
Making beds OF getting meals,
Uumistakably reveals
And you'n seldom find her sitting
With a needle or h book,
For she's such busy housewife,
And would rather sweep or cook.
Some VIII choose a wife for beauty,
While still otheHare inclined
To mate with those who manifest
Awise and stndious mind.
But Reuben turned from such as these
With scOrnful gaze, and took
The prize, he thonght-a housewife good
And jewel Of a cook.
