Abusing a Kicker,

1t may be true that people have a
certain sort of dread of a kicker "
and they may occasionally grant him
favors rather than engage in a quarrel
but in the long run the kicker" is not
a successful man. The people finally
get even with him. We have noticed
that the best business men, and the
men who make great success of any
thing, are not ''kickers" 1t isp not a
good business policy to quarrel over
everything.
There is fault enough to be found,
but it is not good policy to be always
grumbling and complaining. There
are occasions when it becomes a mans
duty to kick" and kick" hard, but
these are rare. As rule people are
disposed to grant a man his rights. If
it would do any good to kick" for
rain during drouth we should believe
in it, but the facts seem to be that
kicking" generally gives man a bad
temper and nothing else -Atchison

Better individuality Than Influence.

1t is vastly better to have individual
ity than influence, even in this world. to
consult your own needs and standard of
duty rather than try to suit thousand
other people, or pretend to- Pretending
is very hard work save for natures which
are spawn of the old serpent, and some
how people find them out by the hiss
the rattle or the sting. 1t is easier to be
sincere, and tells less on the nerves in
the long run.
The most fascinating woman | have
known for long time is one of the
frankest, and she never wastes herself
unnecessarily She has laid out her life
for having the good of it, and refuses to
assume any responsibility which will
interfere with it. She knows how to
take hold of worries by the handle, not
the poker end. She is very efficient
business woman, but business done she
leaves lesser duties to those whose work
it is. She will not make her own bed or
hang up her own gowns, for she pays
some one else to save her these minor
exertions.
She takes time for punctilious toilet,
and to see her come to you as fresh as
the morning, sweet as bath and violet

A Remedy for Freckles.

In June the festival maiden's fancy

small thing, but it won't rub out even

wives to the contrary Notwithstanding
Still there is simple application which,
if promptly used on the first appearance
of the Harsome freckle, will generally
drive it away
A Brooklyn doctor has prescribed the
application for some years and finds it
more effective than anything else which
he has recommended in his practice.
Here it is: One dram muriatic acid, three
gills rain water, half teaspoonful of
spirits of lavender Mix thoroughly. 1t
should be applied twice the first day and
then three times day until the freckles
disappear. At rising, before lunch and
on going to bed are the best times for
applying. Exposure to sun and wind
should be avoided as much as possible,
and for some days a veil should be worn

Soldier and sauaw.

A well authenticated story of the
slaughter at Pine Ridge is that of an
Irish soldier who, kneeling with his
comrades behind bank, was shot
close to the heart.
Faith" he exclaimed, I'm shure
it's all over wild mel Rowl me round,
boys, an make a fince of me-"
The next moment he was dead. They
obeyed him and used his body as
rampant.
Another incident is told of the same
fight worthy of note A squaw re-
treated backward before the terrific
fire of the white soldiers, holding both
hands behind her
She fell at last, pierced with many
bullets 1t was found that she had
sheltered a baby with her wounded
body--a baby, ugly and copper colored
like herself She was killed. The
child was saved. 1t gives the story
more meaning, perhaps, to know that
it was not her own.
Could not these red and white skinned
human beings, in both of whom such
heroic courage and self sacrifice were
possible, have found better occupation
than numbering each other2
The same problem has arisen in every
war since the beginning of the world.

Two Kinds of Censnses.

A census of the United States differs
in its very conception from a European
census. Once in ten years, as with us,
the English government makes an emu
meration of the inhabitants of the king
dom. The time chosen is the night of
the % of April. On or before that day
the enumerator must leave at each house
within his district a family schedule,
which calls for the name and personal
characteristics-age, sex, color, occupa-
ton, etc.-of each person who on that
night shall sleep in that house. If a man
be travelling on that night, he is to be re-
ported at the hotel or private house at
which he arrives in the morning.
A census of the United States is a very
different thing. AS in England, the
census is supposed to be taken on Ger
tain day-with us the 1st of June-but
the question regarding each and every
man is not where he was on that day,
but where on that day he had "his
usual place of abode. General Francis

Locked Up for Kissing a Painter.

Emmx Richenberry, of St. Louis, has
been foroibly detained at her home for
over three years by her parents. She
has been actually a prisoner that length
Of time, and has not been allowed to
leave her room. Up to July, 1887, the

day Emma's mother caught painter

out and pulled Emma into the house.

Some Don,ts as to Confidence.

Don't confde in any one if you can
help 1t. If you can't, speak to some one
whose honor you have proved to be
above pedding stories of her friends to
enliven her conversation.
Remember she who tells tales of other
women will presently tell tales of you,
and supply as little material as possible.
Don't receive a confidence unless you
know your heart is deep enough, your
mind broad enough and your brain suf
ficiently steady to keep it honestly.
Don't be scrupulous about accepting
the charge of your friends diamonds or
her purse, while hesitating not to drop
hints of her inner life, stories of her pri-
vate history, which were meant for your
ear only, all along your conversation
with men and women. Perhaps you
think by this means to lessen their re-
gard for her; but don't forget that you
are cheapening yourself at the same time.
Do not feel there is no obligation where
no promise of silence has been exscted.

English Women Play Cricket.


Most people know what an excellent
cricketer the present governor of Bonn
bay is, but that Lady Harris could also
handle the bat in mastery style-if it
be permissible to speak of a lady's style
as masterly-was not generally known.
Nevertheless this appears to be the case
from the following account of cricket
match whick is copied from an Indian
paper:
A very successful cricket match was
held at the Glade, Mahableshwur, on
Tuesday Each side consisted of six
ladies and six gentlemen, the gentlemen
having to play left handed with a broom
stick, bowl and field with the left hand
one side being captained by H. E. Lady
Harris and the other by Mrs. Won Donop
Mrs, Won Donop having won the toss,
the game began at 5:15 p. m, Mrs
Drake and General Sir H. Prendergast
going to the wickets to face the bowling
of Miss Holland and Captain Cox. The
innings closed about 6 p. m. for So; Sir H.
Prendergast, Miss Morris and Mrs. Won

double figures.
Lady Harris side soon after began
its innings with Miss Kirkham and
Major Curtis, to the bowling of Miss
Morris and Captain Drake Several
wickets very soon fell for very few runs,
but on Lady Harris going in stand was
made. Eventually after great excite

Journalist. q
Very little has been recently said
about Don Pho Plco, the last Mexican
governor of California. Don Pho was 80
years old on the 9Th of last month, and
is vigorous yet in body and mind. Not
withstanding many rumors to the con-
trary, the old gentleman is quite well
cared for in his old age, and has all the
comforts of life and most of the luxuries.
He has housekeeper to look after his
domestic affairs. Some four months ago
there arrived at his home at the Ranch
ito, young Spanish-American journal
ist from the city of Mexico, Senior Adolfo
Vidat Canalizo, who is engaged in writ
ing biography of Don Pho. The book
will be published in Spanish at the city
of Mexico. During the last decade Of
Mexican rule in California Don Pho was
an active participant in the struggle for
supremacy between Northern and South
ern California, and finally through a
brilliant coup d'etat on the bloodless
battlefield of the Alamo he won the long.
deferred victory, and made Los Angeles
the capital city. He has in his posses
sion all his old state papers and cor
respondence, and as his memory is ex-
ceptionally good, and Sefior Canalizo is
a good writer, his forthcoming biography
will possess invaluable historic worth.
