Too Many Lanpuares.

There is undoubtedly a good deal of
advantage in learning foreign tongues
from a nurse in childhood, but it is
easily possible to do this at the expense
Of English. If the child is not to know
its mother tongue there is not a great
deal of advantage in having smatter-
ing of foreign one.
On the piazza of a summer hotel were
observed not long since group of
over-dre sed children who were about
setting out for walk under the care
of a governess who was Enthusiastically
French.
'Maudie," little boy of the party
said to ais sister, "aint the Fraulein
a-goin' to Gomez"
''None," the girl answered, "elle est

The others acquiesced in the worthy
sentiment.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hendrickson and
Mrs. and Mrs. James Boulonger now re-
side in the twin houses, and every
Christmas the two families and Mr.. and
Mrs. Rudolph Boulonger dine together
in one of the peculiar dwellings.
1t is said that on one of the happy oc-
casions Rudolph Boulonger was gently
told of the ruse by which he had been
deceived, Edith and her husband ex-
cusing themselves by saying that there
had been love and war and that all
tactics were fair in both. 1t is further
reported that the old gentleman for
gave the couple, having in the mean
time learned from the owner of the
Jersew cow that that animal had given
good mess of milk eight hours after
she had left the Boulonger farm.

faithfully for years and used the best
Judgment, but their ventures failed.
Fate was their relentless enemy Bou-
longer would do something which In
the eyes of the wise stamped him as q
fool, and yet his seemingly brainless
act would bring him "a small fortune.
His boyhood was one of ease, his
father being in good circumstances and
requiring nothing more of his son than
that he should go to school and college
and learn from books all that he could.
Rudolph had splendid memory. and
absorbed printed knowledge as readily
as sponge sucks up water. He gave
no attention to anything except books
until the death of his father compelled
him to think how he should live and
pay his bills. The fortune left him was
modest, and his friends, knowing what
a lamentably impractical person he
was, advised him to put his money in 3
savings bank, not to marry, and to live
economically. He rejected their ad-
vice with scorn. He wished to travel
abroad and enjoy luxuries. He in
vested nearly all of his fortune in gold
mine. His friends were horror-strick-
en- They said his money would surely
be lost in the wildcat scheme, and that,
as he was utterly incapable of making
a living. he would be obliged to go to
the poorhouse, and eventually, perhaps,
to the retreat for imbeciles. But to the
surprise of the foreboders the mine
soon proved to be one of the richest on
this con tinent and in few years Ru
dolph possessed half million dollars
Henceforth his career was marked by a
succession of lucky blunders. He would
buy real estate in wilderness where
only the remains of Indian tribes could
be persuaded to dwell, and in a years
time railroad would be run through
his land and he would sell building lots
at handsome profit for the establish
ment of a village. He did other things
equally absurd, but made money every
time.
In spite of his many eccentricities he
secured for wife a beautiful and ac-
complished girl. How she ever allowed
herself to marry him was marvel to
those who knew them. But they ap-
peared to live happily together. Their
children, twins named James and Edith.
were sensible like their mother.
The family resided in fine country
mansion about mile from the out
ssS-ts of Boston. Their nearest neigh
Dor was a well-to-do farmer whose son,
John Hendrickson, sturdy and prac-
tical young man, fell in love with
Edith Boulonger when she was eighteen
years old. But Mr.. Boulonger wished
his daughter to marry college-bred
man who was the descendant Of an old
and cultured family. Another require

asked Mr.. Boulonger, turning toward
his son.
81 declare, believe did," said
James.
He did not add, however, that he had
left the door unlocked purposely and
was not surprised by what had subse-
quently occurred.
Rudolph Boulonger shuddered, not
knowing that he had been firing blank
cartridges That had thoughtfully been
provided for his use, and was glad that
he had not killed an innocent man. He
felt that he had greatly wronged John
Hendricllson; he observed with alarm
the highly-wrought feelings of his
daughter; his nerves were too much
shaken for him to deny that the twin
houses which his eccentricity had
caused him to erect and furnish alike
were responsible for the unwelcome oc-
currence, and he was glad to make
peace by giving the intruder permission
to marry Edith.
The next day the family sat down to
a splenoid Christmas dinner in their
home, and John Hendrickson, the un-
expected guest, was entertained by
them in :. very pleasant manner.

organization 1 found was the Ladies'
Sewing, Reaping, Gossiping and Send
ing Socks to the Heathen society.
Which Heathen society they sent them
to l never learned.
Quite good many people listened to
my remarks, without more signs of pain
than have noticed everywhere. As one
OF the committeewomen remarked,
facetiously, afterward, ''there was
more in the audience than there was In
the lecture"
noticed that no one seemed to be
putting on overshoes, while was slow
ly running down, or letting the cat die,
as you might say, and after I had got
of my final bon mot and didn't hcve q
single bong mo- to get off, sat down.
but everybody stayed. Then the presi-
dent OF the society came to me and
said: ''Mr. Hood, our society has
been making a autograph quilt. Ten
cents to put your name on block, you
know. It's got over 400 blocks into Il.
and we've raised pretty near $50 for
the heathen now. We thought. while
everybody was here and 1t was so near
Christmas, we'd have you auction the
quilt off,
So got up and held up the quilt and
stepped on the edge of it and fell down.
and everybody applauded and seemed
to think it was a real clever thing TO
do. Mr.. Hood then spoke in substance
as follows:
"How much am / offered for this
quilt? 1t is a well-made quilt and is
strictly non-partisan. The names. Won
will notice, are in blocks of five; II is
designed for protection; it won't tariff.
you're careful of it, will keep Silver
Bill or any other man warm, and how
much am offered for it?"
Then everybody laughed quite a lot
and nobody bid / thought that they
were afraid TO speak up, so / said:i
well, now, I'll just start it at five doll
lars. Who'll make it six? Going at

And then the society all crowded
around me and thanked me, and said
that l was such clever auctioneer,i
and if / hadn't been there to run the
auction they wouldn't have got half so
much. So they deducted a fver from
my fee. said they didn't understand
about the ''locals," so I'd have TO paw

nae alone with my quilt.

Balzac on Color.

Balzac. the French author, says that
a woman's character finds expression
in her favorite color. woman who
prefers orange or green gowns is, he
thinks, quarrelsome. Those who sport
yellow hats or who go clad in black
without cause are not to be trusted.
White should indicate coquetry. Gem
tie and thoughtful women prefer pink.
Pearl-gray is the color of women who
consider themselves unfortunate. Lilac
is the shade particularly affected by
overripe beauties; therefore, according
to Balzac, lilac hats are mostly worn
by mothers on their daughters mar
riage day and by women more than
forty years old when they go visiting.

ment was that the suitor should either
be rich enough to lead life of elegant
leisure or else should be professional
man; doctor or lawyer admissible, but
minister preferred. That Edith should
marry mere farmer was preposterous.
Moreover, Mr.. Boulonger did not like
Hendrickson for reason that will late
appear.
''It will be useless to speak to
father" said Edith to John one Christ
mas eve. HE will never give his con-
sent to my marrying you"
Nevertheless will speak to him."
replied the bold lover. "He shall know
that / dare to face him.
Mr.. Boulonger sat in his library
when the young man was ushered
into his presence. The eccentric gentle
man assumed an air of dignity and
clothed his countenance with an
ominous frown. He believed that his
demeanor alone would dishearten his
intended victim. But Hendrickson was
not awed at all. Aristocratic preten-
sions had no effect upon the independent
American except to make him despise
them.
"You can never marry my daughter"
said Mr.. Boulonger, in weighty tones.
"Why?"
For various reasons. The most inn
portant one is that you do not belong to
cultured family and are not college
bred You are neither an ArtiuD1 Bacca-
aureus nor an Artfum Magister. More
over, you deceived me when / bought
that Jersey cow of you. As soon as she
was in my stable | ordered my hired
man to milk her. He reported that he
could not obtain any milk. Thinking
the pail might leak, ordered him to
go to a tin shop and buy a new, tight
pail He at once obeyed. He placed
the new pail under the COW and again
manipulated the udders. There was no
flow whatever. The cows bag was
small and shrunken. It was q clear
case of desiccatien. For lacteal pur-
poses the animal wAs useless. | sold
her that very day."
Hendrickson could scarcely restrain a
shout of laughter.
There was nothing the matter with
the COW, he exclaimed. 81 had MIXED
her just before sending her to your place
and OF course her bag was empty
Rudolph was not astonished. Evi-
dences of his stupidity were too fre-
quently brought to his attention to
cause him any uneasiness. Moreover
he was too pigheaded to acknowledge
an unwelcome truth while he could
think OF any pretext with which to COM
bat it.
