Have Good Teachers at First.

A professor Of music, a teacher of repu-
tation, has this to say "No greater mis-
take is made than that committed by most
parents in regard to their ehildren's musical
education. Until my daughter knows a
good deal of music, mother will say ANY
teacher will do Later she can be polished
by some high priced professor Recently
a woman, friend of mine, who was dis
cussiug her little girls music with me, said
Il cannot afford to have her begin with
you, but she shall have a year or two at
the end to finish her course And | told
her if she could afford only year of my
tuition to let it be the first year. In that
year the pupil can form habits, if properly
taught, which no amount of poor teaching
can do away with"
ait is foolish to bring girl, at the end
of ten years unskillful teaching aud wrong
practicing, to somebody and expect him in
a year or two years, or ever, indeed, to
turn out an accomplished musician A
pupil should be well taught at the begin
ming at least-in my opinion she should
be well taught all the way through Girls
who have any music in them are worth it,
and girls who haven't ought never to
approach the piano.

once released upon her cOnValescence and
became an inmate of the Blakeley resi-
dence. But she was too proud and self
reliant to remain dependent upon friends,
and soon secured an Independent support
as a school teacher in private school.
Three years after the conclusien of the
war Miss Rufin was paying visit to
Washington, and was at the theatre one
night. Seated next TO her was a gentle
man whose face seemed strangely familiar
to her, but she could not identity him.
That was no wonder for Hastings had
grown beard and aged ten years in his
features since she had known him in the
Confederate service. She noticed that he
frequently glanced curiously at her and
seem on the point of addressing her, but
the prudence of well bred man restrained
him. Presently gentleman with whom
she was acquainted sat down in front OF
them and addressed Hastings by name.
That was sufficient to permit her TO
identify her old comrade of the prison, and
mutual introductiens followed The party
of four went to a restaurant for supper,
and at the table Hastings asked Miss
Ruffin:
''Did YOU ever know soldier named
Charles Evans of the Fourth Regimen? p
"Why do you ask p she said
Because" he answered, 'you are wear
ing the ring | give him when we were
prisoners together in Fort McHenry.'
Miss Rufiu was not yet ready to dis
close her secret and she told him that it
was probably ring similar to the one he
had parted with. Hastings appeared to be
satisfied with this explanation, but as their
intercourse became more friendly she re.
vealed her story to him and informed him
that she was the young Confederate soldier
who had gone under the name of Charles
Evans
Their wedding took place at the Blakeley
residence, in Baltimore, on Christmas Eve
1869, and they went to live on the Hastings
estate, Calvert county. Mr.. Hastings died
in 1874, leaving his wife childless, but III
the possession of considerable property
She is now woman of forty-six years, but
looks ten years younger. She has com
manding features and fine figure, and as
she told her life story under the light OF
the stars and to the murmur of the waves
on the Atlantic City porch she produced
the old ring, now worn thin, that she had
received from her future husband while
they were prisoners.

Patience Pays.

IF you want good appetite, don't worry.
If you want healthy body, don't worry.
If you want things to go right in your
homes or your business, don't worry.
Nervousness is the bane of the race. 1t is
not confined to the women by any means,
but extends to the men as we'll What
good does fretting do? 1t only increases
with indulgence, like anger, or appetite, or
love, or any other human impulse. 1t de-
ranges ones temper, excites unpleasant
feelings towards everybody, and confuses
the mind. 1t affects the whole person,
units one for the proper completion of the
work whose trihing interruption or distur-
bance started the fretful fit. Suppose these
things go wrong to-day, the to-morrows
are coming in which to try again, and the
thing is not worth clouding your own spirit
and those around you, injuring yourself
and them physically for such trife.
Strive to cultivate spirit of patience, both
for your own good and the good of those
about you. You will never regret the step,
for it will not only add to your own happi-
ness, but the example of your conduct will
effect those with whom you associate and
in whom you are interested. Suppose
somebody makes mistake, suppose you
are crossed, or a trifing accident occurs; to
fly into fretful mood will not mend mat
ters, but help to hinder the attainment of
what you wish. Then, when thing is
beyond repair, waste no useless regrets over
it, and do no idle fretting. Strive for that
serenity of spirit that will enable you to
make the best of all things That means
contentment in its best sense, and content
ment is the only true happiness of life. A
pleasant disposition and good work will
make the whole surroundings ring with
cheerfulness.

Origin of Mills iii lgf 4, n the United states.

Upon Washington's first retirement, in
1888, he became convinced of the defec-
tive nature of the working animals employ
ed in the agriculture of the Southern
States, and set about remedying the evil
by the introduction of mules instead of
horses, the mule being found to live longer,
be less liable to disease, required less food,
and in ever respect to be more serviceable
and economical than the horse, in the
agricultural labor of the Southern States.
Up to the year 1873, scarcely any mules
were to be found in the American con-
federation; few had been imported from
the West Indies, but they were of diminu-
tive size and of little value. So soon as
the views on this subject of the illustrious
farmer of Mount Vernon were thrown
abroad, he received a present from the
king of Spain of a jack and two jennies,
selected from the royal stud at Madrid.
The jack, called the 'Royal Gift" was
sixteen hands, of gray color, heavily
made, of sluggish disposition.
At the same time the Marquis de la
Fayette sent out a jack and jennies from
the island of Malta. This jack, called the
'Knight Of Malta" was superb animal,
black color, with the form of stag and
the ferocity of a tiger. Washington
availed himself of the best qualities of the
two jacks by crossing the breeds, and
hence obtained a favorite jack, called
'COmpound," which animal united the size
and strength of the "Gift," with the
courage and activity of the "Knight." The
jack arrived at Mount Vernon, if we mis-
take not, early in 1888. The general bred
some very superior mules from his coach
uares, sending them from Philadelphia for
the purpose. In a few years the estate of
Mount Vernon became stocked with mules
OF superior order, rising to the height of
sixteen hands, and of great power and
usefulness, one wagon team OF four mules
selling at the sale of the generals effects
for eight hundred dollars
In no portion of Washington's various
labOrs and improvements in agriculture
was he so particularly entitled to be hailed
as public benefactor, as in the introduc-
ton of mules in farming labor, those ami
mails being at this time almost exclusively
used for farming purposes in the Southern
States,

and on the spot where it falls an apple

Surely, this is the fact, whether speci-
ally arranged TO this end or not, but this
will not account for the varying colors of
the fruit A Rhode Island Greening or
Newtown Pippin, green and unattractive,
are scattered over the world as generously
as the bright colored Baldwin or Northern
Spy.
just why some should be sweet and
some sour is again another puzzle. The
malic acid which gives it the sour taste
seems to be in about the same proportion
in the unripe as in the ripe apples; the DIFF
ference in sweetness seems to arise from
the change of starchy matter into sugar as
the ripening process proceeds. But,
though the chemist can tell US the exact
elements that go to make sugar, he cannot
make sugar for us. No power but that Of
the living plant can do it, and We are alb
solutely in the dark as to how the plant
gets it done. Possibly the climate has
some influence on the acting vital power,
for the Rhode Island Greening, sour APP
pie in the Atlantic States, is sweet apple
on the Paci6e-and the same apple will
often have part of the same fruit sweet
on one side and sour on the other. These
cases are generally attributed to some one
in the past having split branch through
a bud, then fitting the sweet apple half to
the half of the sour apple bud, and graft
ing the spliced graft. This is regsgded

Hail blossom, bird and bee,

A happy sense of well earned rest:
summer landscape full of sheen,
The world at its brightest, sweetest, best:

Their wealth is hid from careless sight;
The eye may feast on every hand:
To be alive is pure delight.
Oh, autumn wind so free,
This is the day for me-!
