Taught a Lesson.

4 man with large business interests
and Il handsome income married lady
who. accustomed all her previous life
TO the luXUries OF wealth, had never
formed any clear conception of the
worth and purchasing power Of money.
For some months the indulgent husband
gratifed his wife's every whim.
One day the lady, 10 carry out some
caprice, asked for check for So large
a sum that the gentleman was dis
turbed, He saw that such prodigality,
il persisted il, meant ruin: but not
wishing TO grieve his wife by down
right refusal, he determined TO give her
a lesson in finance. He therefore
smilingly remarked that he could not
give her Z check as usual, but would
send up the money from his store.
About noon the promised money
came. not in crisp bills. as was expect
ed, but in silver dollars. the sum total
filing several specie bags.
The wife was at first vexed, then
amused and finally, as the afternoon
wore away. became deeply thoughtful.
When her husband came home TO sup
per. she took him gently by the arm.
and leading him into the room where
the ponderous bags of specie were still
standing said:
My dear is this the money | asked
you for this morning?"
1T Is, my love, - was the reply.
And did you have TO take this
money all in. dollar by dollar in the
course Of yow business" was the next
question.
Yes, he answered gently; Iii re-

THE POETRY OF ICE.
What May he Seen by Watching n Fan
Of water While 10 Freezes.

A person who has never closely OBJ
served the operation Of natures great
ice factory will be surprised to find how
interesting il is. You need not go out
side OF "a comfortably heated room to
do this. just place a pan of water on
the window sill, when the temperature
is below the freezing point, and you
will soon see something that cannot
fail to interest you. IL you happen TO
have magnifying glass, a single lens,
80 much the better, for the magnifying
power will reveal much OF the delicate
work of ice making that is invisible to
the naked eye. Anyway, as you closely
watch the surface of the water you will
soon see tiny little lsnces, very beauti-
full when seen under the microscope,
shooting hither and thither on the sur
face of the water III il Is cold enough
TO make ice in the sunlight the crystal
lances will glow with all the colors of
the rainbow, and a. they dart about tho
rapid changes of color will remind you
of the wonders of the Kaleidoscope.
AS the water continues 10 chill the
little lances will come together. and
then smaller and still more delicate
crystals will be seen forming between
the lances and welding them together.
This process goes on until the surface
Is covered with beautiful film of ice
hardly strong enough to bear the weight
of n mosquito. But the process goes
on under this superficial layer, and n
smooth and solid surface is the result.
Many people have the impression
that the ice particles form at the bot
tom and float 10 the top of the water.
II this were true our lakes and some of
our large rivers would be glaciers,
solid MASSES OF ice all the year. AT
the surface. where the freezing process
is going on, water is always colder than
al any level below. In all our northern
lakes and deep rivers the great body of
water i from the five to eight degrees
above the freezing point, even when
heavy ice covers the surface

THE IDEAL GIRL.
She Cannot Help Being "a Life Brightenev
to the World.

The ideal girl is Gods sweet promise
OF "a perfected womanhood. We all
know her. There may be clouds with
out and within. yet when her bright
face looks i'm al the door il is like sun
shine after summer rain. In some
strange, sweet way she seems To bring
with her the beauty of dew-laden
flowers and the robbins song of well
come To the returning sun. She sets
us dreaming OF the days when life's
heaviest burden was the finding of
pleasures 10 beguile the long mid
summer days. Again we sit by the
brook in which. forgetful OF maternal
warnings, we converse with the sleepy
eyed riolets and the wee iinny people
OF the brook. Again flowers and birds
have souls and we understand their
language-all because this ideal girl
whose every word and look is instinct
with the soul OF nature. has come into
our room and brought with her the
child's soul and the child's happy faith
that between il and every living thing
there is "a subtle bond Of sisterhood.
Going down Washington street the
other day, says a writer in the Chicago
Tribune, ! saw the ideal girl. An old
colorcd " oman, bent with suffering and
poverty, was walking painfully along
the slippery sidewalk and suddenly lost
her footing, and her basket and parcels
were scattered beneath the feet Of the
hurrying pedestrians. Some men
whose neckties were winter than their
hearts laughed rs they stepped gingerly
over the scattered parcels. But just
then there came olong one OF my ideal
girls, SO young and beautiful that the
white-cravatted men impudently turned
around TO look after her.
She stopped beside the PROSTATE wO-
man, helped her to her feet and gath
cred up her scattered parcels. and al
80 quietly and quickly that the woman
stood looking after her in wonder as
il she We're an apparition. The old
colored woman may have crooned out
10 her what she looked God bless
YOU it may be even in this Christ
ian city she had never heard the name
OF God; but we may be sure that with
her weaIied and darkened soul there
flashed a ray of divine light and love
that warmed and quickened whatever
germ OF good were latent in her heart
