A Chicago special to the New York

lief that bis election to the Senate

because Of his not having expressed
himself"
Oleveland's expression on the sil-
yer coinage question. Mr.. Doughcr-
II considered another proof OF the
ex- Presidents independence OF

81 added, after moments reflection
as he gazed out upon the cold bosom

land had more about him to attract

HIS strength of following is due to

SIMPLICITY M SOCIAL LIFE.
An Element That should Predominate In
All Our Characters.

An Element That should Predominate In
All Our Characters.
One of the greatest charms Of char.
acter Is simplicity, but It Is the charm
which Of all others appears to be most
difficult of attainment or preservation.
Simplicity 10 the note of real refine
ment, of thorough taste, and Of genuine
culture. The absence Of 1t is the evil
dence Of some form of immaturity, some
kind of crudity Of taste. The greatest
things, the most beautiful things and
the most enduring things are always
simple. When Savonarola was put to
the rack with the expectation that many
secrets would be wrung from him, he
declared that his secrets were few be-
cause his purposes had been great. The
more comprehensive the mans char
aCter, the greater the work Of art, the
more marked will be the element OF
simplicity in both. Real elegance Is q
rare quality; rare, apparently, because
most people confuse It with some form Of
display or elaboration. There are count
less houses where one finds every kind Of
comfort and luxury, but there are very
few houses where one discovers real
elegance, because In very few houses
which represent large expenditures OF
money has the element Of simplicity
been preserved. Over-Ornamentation,
crowded rooms and general sense Of
oppressiveness are, ~ q rule, character
istics Of most handsome homes. Sim
plicity Is the exception; and yet sim
plicity Is the infallible sign Of genuine
elegance. In mind and character, as
the instruments Of influence and Of
pleasure multiply, simplicity seems to
alp away. There are few who can Sc
cure prosperity without parting with
simplicity. First elaboration and then
some false note Of self-consciousness, in
hation, or that kind of social pride
which, only another name for vulgarity,
arc likely to manifest themselves. The
man or woman who can preserve entire
simplicity in life which il constantly en-
larging has fine nature. In this country
especially, where there are no social
lines which rigidly determine social
position, men and women who lack
thorough social training or thorough
intellectual culture are constantly
tempted to some form Of social self
assertion, to some kind Of elaboration
or display which will catch the eye and
give q new sense Of importance. It IL
well to remember that in all this there
il an inevitable element Of vulgarity;
that social life, on its finer sides, is
delicate and beautiful art, and, like all
art, must be simple and sincere II 1t Is
to be really beautiful. Here, as else
where, the sound rule II to hold con-
stantly before one the highest aims; and
to let those aims express themselves
naturally through all ones actions and
surroundings. To preserve simplicity.
one must be unaffectedly attached TO
noble things. Christian Union.

A good joke is related at the ex.

MED by his best girl, he met the host:
ess at the door, and after the usual
salutatiOns asked after the baby's
health. The lady who was quite deaf

thought he waa asking after her cold,
and told him that she usually had one
every winter but this was the worst
one she had ever had, 1t Kept her
awake nights 4 good deal at first, and
confined her to her bed. Then nolic'
ing that the scribe was getting pale
and nervous she said she could tell by
his looks that he was going to have
one just like hers, and asked him to
20 and lie down. The paper came out
as usual the next week, but the local

THE DOMESTIC ART.


Why 10 Has Not Developed Into Any
Thing Like Science.
One of the reasons why, after CEN
turies of experience, the domestic art
has not developed into any thing like q
science, Is that every woman In sup
posed to understand the whole subject
by the light Of nature. This has not
only prevented any persistent study on
these lines, but has detracted from the
popular respect for domestic skill, and
has discouraged any strenuous efforts TO
attain It, because, forsooth, who cares
TO excel in an art in which universal
proficiency is assumed?
As long as this superstition exists, wo
shall hardly be able to evolve from the
chaos of empiric knowledge and dOmes-
tic science which il worthy Of the name.
The efforts to teach good housewifery
will be limited to the object lessons
which some specially fortunate girls get
In their homes- To be sure, this Is like
studying throrough-bass through the
simple hearing of good music, but Il ls
not altogether without its results. A
few young women even get so far as TO
copy recipes from their mothers manu-
script cookery books, which gives them
about the same grasp,of the subject in
hand as o traveller gets Of q foreign
tongue by diligently coming tho
''phrase-book" pro 'ided for his emer-
gencies. By and by. however, some
young woman will find out that good
housekeeping may be an expression Of
all the principles Of ethics, politics and
sociology; then there win be plenty Of
candidates for degree in this hereto
fore neglected branch of learning.-Kate

A New Game.
fsLs..~o n.v.ld

For the past two weeks clever
swindler has been operating q neat
scheme on the west side, and the bust.
ness men In that quarter have expend-
ed several hundred dollars In learn
ing the game. Alonzo Freeman, who
keeps a restaurant on Madison street,
near Halstead, was the first victim.
1t cost him $40. About two weeks
ago a well dressed aud good looking
young man walked rapidly into his
place.
In one hand he carried an envelope
upon which was q stamp and an ad-
dress. "Give me q ten-dollar. bill for
these" he said quickly 40 he placed
nine silver dollars Upon the counter.
az want TO send $40 TO my mother In
this letter." Freeman hastily handed
him ten.dOllar bill, which he imme-
diately tucked in the letter, and seal
ing the envelope, placed It In the in
side pocket of his coat. He then put
u tooth-pick in his mouth and began
talking leisurely about tho weather.
Freeman counted the silver and I'M
formed the young man that : was
missing. "Whati only $9?" he ex-
claimed. "That's funny Mr.. Hendick,
next door here, just paid me $40 that
he owed me on q bill. Here keep this
envelope minute, and I'll see about 1t"
The young man handed an envelope
to Freeman which was the exact conn-
:erpart of the one IN which he had
placed the $40 bill, picked up the nine
silver dollars and left. Freeman is
waiting for the young man now.
When he opened the letter he found a
ten-dOllar confederate note, worth at
least ak cents, aud the following
pathetic letter: "After much diff
Guilty, dear mother, have succeeded
in raising the $40 which you 80 badly
needed TO alleviate your pressing
wants. Keep It; make 1t last as long
as possible and don't forget your
loving son."
