IN A SYRIAN CAFE.

The Professional Story-teller.
 Frank Stiles Woodruff, in April St. Nicholas
 It is always delight for the Syrians to gather in some public cafe and entertain themselves with pipes and tiny cups of black coffee. At such times the profes- sional story-teller is welcome. Some win ter night we look in upon such a scene. A score of men sit about on low stools, while at one end of the arched room sits the story-teller. Sometimes he recounts very wildly the valorous deeds of his warlike ancestors; now he speaks of love, thro W ing into the form of verse his visions of beauty and gentleness; now the intent lis teners forget their pipes as he brings back to their minds scenes of 1860, when feuds between DruZes and Maronites had sprinkled the sides of Lebanon with Chris tian blood. Between the stor- ies, the low gurgle of the water-pipes sounds musical applause, and we westerners realize that we are, in very truth, in the land ot 1.-The Thousand and One Nights" listening to the magic language of "Aladdin" and "Sindbad," |" and the 'Forty Thieves'-the much-loved language that the Arabs call ''The tongue of the angels" Finally, at late hour, there are signs of breaking up. The story teller is rewarded with copper bit from each of the company, the host is paid for his evening provision of pipe and coffee, and the men retire to their homes
 The next morniug our friend the cafe keeper washes out his pipes, places them in order on long shelves, and is ready for another days entertaining.

Stonewan Jackson's Union Father
 in-Law-
From the Detroit Free Press.

bcNAOAh EASt
 E. D. Ludwig, of Erie, Pa, is stopping at the Wayne Hotel Mr. Ludwig grew to manhood in Rockbridge county, Va, and just before the war was teacher in the Sunday school of which ''Stonewall'' Jackson was superintendent. In conver- sation MT. Ludwig said:
 Thomas Jonathan Jackson. that was 'Stonewalfs' full name, was professor of mathematics and artillery practice in the Washington college of Lexington, and his father-in-law, Dr. George Juncklin, was president of the college. President Juncklin was an uncompromising union man. and just before the war. when the Sc. cession spirit ran very high, q party of students one night raised rebel flag over the dome of the college. When Dr. Juncklin came down next morning and saw the flag he ordered the janitor to take it down. The students told the janitor that if he lowered the flag they would kill him, and he refused. Dr. Juncklin, al- though upward of seventy years old, mounted to the dome, cut the halliards and brought the flag down. Stepping into the balcony, he lighted match, set fire to the fieg, and, as it burned, said in 6 clear voice that was heard by all below: So may all attempts to destroy the federal un- ion end'
 ''He was at once seized by a crowd of the infuriated students and citizens. and it required all the energy of his son-in- law, StonewaH Jackson, and q number of others to prevent his being hanged on the spot. A compromise was arranged by which he was to leave the state. He has tily entered his family carriage, and, with what few effects he could lay his hands upon readily, set out for Harper's Ferry, escorted by his friends. When he had crossed the river he stopped the carriage and directed the driver to wash every par ticle of Virginia soil from its wheels and body.
 Now there's a true story" concluded MT. Ludwig, land one that don't believe ever appeared in print"

THE SHREWD NORWEGIANS,

The people of this country are interested in anything bearing on the methods of ob- taining some of the ocean carrying trade of the world. The aggregate merchant tonnage in 1890 is put at 1880, GOA tons The gross profits on this are estimated at from s24 to $s7 per annum per ton, or about $40,0OO,000 every year. The Nor wegians have recently taken large share of this, and the United States consul at Christiana tells how it was done. He says that until two or three years ago the con- dition of the shipping interest of Norway was greatly depressed in consequence of a drop in the rates of freight, aad that quite number of Norwegian vessels were sold abroad. But in 1888 a new period of activity in commerce began to dawn, and merchants saw the advantage in speedily supplying themselves with new tonnage In 1889, 220 vessels of foreign build, representing an aggregate of 132, 900 tons, were added to the mercantile marine of the country. To this increase England contributed 60 per cent and Germany 30 per cent. Forty-three steamers, having a gross tonnage of 35, 400 tons, were bought abroad, and 21, having tonnage of 4,616 tons, were built in Norway. It was by quickly obtaining these vessels when the demand for their use came-the merchants of Christiania alone purchasing in one year 30,000 tons of shipping-that the Norwegians have been able to make hay while the sun shines, and avail themselves of any opportunity that offers.

 An interesting anecdote is going the rounds of the French papers in regard to the late Baron Haussmann and the Elm peror Napoleon III. In the early 'ffties Haussmann was prefect of Bordeaux. Napoleon, at that time president of the republic, visited Bordeaux in the course of journey Thousands of people from the country filled the streets of the city to welcome him. At the side of Haussmann, a man of magnificent presence and i'm perial bearing, sat the prince-president. As they drove through the principal street of the city the populace mistook Hauss- mann for the president and directed their marks of affection toward him alone. The situation was unpleasant for the prefect, as Napoleon noticed the mistake and be- came sullen. ''See, Royal Highness," cried Haussmann, "so are the people; they have again taken the drum-major for the little corporal!" The remark was fortu- nate. Nothing fattered Napoleon III so much as to compare him with his great uncle. Haussmann became from that moment one of his favorites. He owed his wealth and position to that fortunate cOmparisOn

Girls and Girls

Florence Lockwood in the Century Open Let
 ters.l
 There are two kindred questions about which there has been and still is much controversy, and, I think, many serious mistakes made-irst, in understanding the intelligence of the girls, particularly in practical matters, in which it is apt to be far greater than our own; and second ly, in belittling our advantages in order to conciliate their prejudices. In many cases these preiudices do not exist, and even when they do the differences in our position and education are sure to come to the front sooner or later, and by frankly recognizing them in the beginning as an advantage we prevent their being regarded later on as a barrier. The girls are sure to end by knowing that We keep servants, wear evening dresses and go to the opera: and by plainly speaking of these things when necessary (the necessity will be rare) as comforts won for us by our husbands or our fathers intelligence and labor, we make the distinction in our ways of living more one of degree than one of kind. When once recognized the truth will make our relations with the girls of more value than when it existed on an ignorant or mistaken foundation.
 The very leisure and knowledge We are able to put at their disposal comes from this difference of conditions. and it is shirking our responsibility as women of a leisure class when we attempt to pretend that our conditions of life are the same as theirs. The newspapers in this country are successful in giving the working class es false idea of the occupations and pleasures of the upper classes" They represent them in all their most sensation al and regrettable moments, and but little record is made of the majority of well-to- do and educated people with whom plain living and high thinking has not come to be dead letter. In our most natural and laudable efforts not to patronize the girls We are apt to forget that we are foregoing the natural advantages of our birthrights in attempting to appear to them as anoma- lous women from nowhere, instead of la dies whose life and education in perhaps wealthy homes has inspired us with the desire to share what we consider our real advantages with our less fortunate sisters

TEni Third Parfl
Mrs. P. T. Barnum in the Ladies' Home Jour
 nall

The constant presence of A third person at the fireside and table is especially disas- trous in the earlier years of wedlock. The presence of one who is not ''of ourselves may often restrain what is worse in us; but alas! it always restraints what is best There must always be in the most perfect unions and best ordered lives some little friction which will once in a while find ex- pression. The gentle protest with which, if alone with your husband, you would disarm his fractiousness, dies in your throat because of the third person. The loving caress with which you would close his lips and make him ashamed of himself, is as impossible to you as if you were par alyzed. If misunderstood, pride will not let you explain, and you retort indignant ly; or, at best, keep silent with an aching heart, and in time you grow to hate that third person, who may be an angel of light, but who is none the less eating holes in your marriage garment. It may not be possible, without neglecting a sacred duty, to have your house entirely to yourself, but I charge you, as you value your mutu- al love and happiness, be intiexible in your resolution to keep some waking hours out of every twenty y-four when the freside shall be sacred to you and your husband; when you can tell each other your thoughts, your hopes and fears, with no Etranger in termeddling with your joy.

WHAT GOOD ROADS WILL DO.

In several States there IS good deal of talk about better roads, and Connecticut should give attention to the matter. It will pay to do it. It has been found that it requires certain amount of power to start ton on a perfect granite road. Call ing this amount of power 12, it has been found that the amount required on the six-inch macadam road 65; on the ordinary country road 200. That is, it takes three times as much power to start and draw ton of load on the common country road as would be required to start and draw the same ton on a common six-inch macadam road. striking application of this is made by the Norwich Bulletin, which cites the case of a certain manufacturing enterprise in the town of Glastonbury in this State. That firm is compelled to employ six trucks daily to convey it's goods from it's factory to the nearest railway station. Its expenditure for this trucking amounted last year to $7,000. The roads in Glastonbury and East Hartford are about the same as in 
 other parts of the State, neither better nor worse. This single firm might, with a x-inch macadam road for the six miles between it's factory and the railroad, have done all it's work with two trucks at cost of $2, 800 for the year. Net saving to one
 firm by good roads s4,50O per annum. This is six per cent interest on $75, ,OO0. It wouldn't cost the two town s75, ,000 to macadam the whole six miles in excellent shape, provided the work were done by practical road makers and not by farmers or merchants or experimenters from other | occupations.
 This illustration makes the situation l very clear. It is evident that good roads are truly economical

Dry Feed for Hens.


 We were feeding our birds the other morning, as we do for every breakfast, bran and ground corn and oats in dry state, when stranger called. He was surprised that we did not give the feed moist, and astonished that the fowls ate it up so eag- erly. "Does that feed satisfy themr' "They keep in good condition by it." we replied, and as proof picked up the nearest one to us. Not too fat; just right. He could not help admiring the red heads and the activity of our hocks. He wanted the full "secret" and we gave it to him like this: We feed everything dry. Our grain, for evening feeding are oats and wheat. We keep the birds exercising as much as possible. We supply plenty of sharp grit. The birds receive pure, fresh water every day. We clean up the houses every morning. We have our focks small. We continually watch for signs of sickness, and ''take time by the forelock." We have dry and warm quar- ters for them. We do not allow the birds out during storms and rainy weather: in short, we make it point to keep our chickens comfortable, and the result is eggs when eggs are high, and health the whole year round This "secret'' of the business has cost us years of time and ex- perience. We are never startled by the dis covery of new methods and new feeds; the plain diet is the best for us. Mornings when we add meat scraps to the food, which is about twice 8 week, we slightly moisten the mixture to make the meat hold better to the feed, but that is all. When we run our incubators the eggs we test out as clear tor where the germ has died after seven days incubation) we hard boil, crumble shells and all, and mix up with dry feed. It gives valuable material fol more eggs. And when we butcher ws save the lard cracklings and chop them ur
