vrbo home atmosphere, says writer
~ tbe Brooklyn Eagle, is so largely de-
ndr,ant on the character of the mis-
Vase that she ought often to think OF
how she can increase her influence right
in her own family circle. How many
homes are totally ruined by fault-hnd-
inc tempestuous, discontinued woman
TYNE altogether too common, even IN
yorv well-to-do abodes. Why, spent
a,r bissummer in family where the
etfnl peevishness of the mother, never
strained. had permeated her whole
,.,pner her voice being the most disa-
,,rpeable l ever heard. When something
1pusally annoying happens the rest OF
the family sneak off in different direc-
lions to avoid the stormy scenes which
they know will follow.
Envy, temper and discomfort are in
consistent with every day or common
Mace happiness, and it is such a sad sight
to see what might be happy home circle
ruined by the disposition OF one person.
The envious, disgruntled type sees moth
iDgeyer in her own surroundings TO cause
happiness. She is always comparing
her lot with another's and wishing she
might have the belongings OF larger
wealth. The only way to have happy
home is for the presiding genius there to
learn TO make the most of all it offers, to
make the home interior as comfortable
and charming as means will allow, to so
live herself as to draw out the best traits
Of her husband, her children and her
friends To do this day after day she
must try herself to be lovely character,
to guard against those common faults

WOMAN WAS PERFECT AT FIRST.
An old bachelor says: "Woman is the

been repeated many times since without

ASH BARREL PHILOSOPHY.

The Comedy and Tragedy of Household
Recalled by It's Receptacle for Debris.
An ash barrel overlooking with house
hold refuse!
Not very tempting object, but vol
ume Of philosophy is slowed away among
the curious debris Of this fat receptacle
on the curbstone. Near the top is bit
of dainty fabric-a mere fragment of
woman's handkerchief. 1t has huttered
in the brisk sea breeze Of Newport or
Long Branch, pretty vehicle OF gay
firtations. A sad spectacle it is now
) with it's torn and soiled lace edging. Be-
meath this relic Of the flown summer lies
the ferrulsd end of heavy walking
stick-the gift Of fond mamma to her
fair haired boy, who is considered
great swell among his fellow chappies
The cane was bit out Of fashion when
the youngsters mother presented it, and
''the fellows Of the club" you know,
guyed him about the stick In fit of
anger he broke the thing over his knee
"a wondrous feat of strength), and it
found it's way next morning to the ash
barrel.
Peeping from beneath broken fruit
dish is the tiny toe Of a dilapidated
patent leather boot. The graceful lines
of feminine foot are still there, despite
the shabbiness. Do you think this san
dal of q modern Venus still remembers
the night that Harry Highfier begged
to drink In champagne the health OF his
adored one from this same caBtof piece
of footgear?
A battered, torn and glossless silk hat
of date long past next comes to light
Through what vicissitudes has this dis
! carded title accompanied paterfamil-
las! It would still be reposing in cor
ner of an attic closet had not the wife
of the wearer's bosom thrown it in the
rubbish pile.
What tumble of broken objects are
overturned by the prodding hook-a
young girls glove; bunch of wilted
roses, with card attached (compi-
ments of Dick Dovely); fragment of
mirror, with the end of a spray of forget
menots painted on its silver surface;
shred of materfamilias' wedding dress;
shattered Nankeen vase; badly
cracked billiard ball and the remnants
of schoolboy's slate!
All, but here is a symbol Of gayety-
the green nose of a pot bellied demijohn
-rotund and robust, and not a mite dis
concerted by its present unfortunate po-
sition. It's fiery contents, long since dis
appeared down the Threats of men, has
helped to cheer as we'll as make foolish
the drinkers at its font. The scrap of
rug, which stands like a soft wall be-
tween sharp edged brick and the will
low clad sides of the demijohn had saved
the latter from destruction. Good luck
usually attends the wicked and unthink-
ing.
Some scraps of paper are blown up
ward by the strong autumn breeze. They
are fragments of letter. Must have
money immediately-been foolish
lost -gambling-meant to reform
your refusal-will be ruined"
Here is another scrap of paper, with
girlish scrawl on its much solled surface:

for me-very happy-call soon-your
own."-New York Recorder.

Doctor Who Confines His Practice to
Typewriters. ..-.ss
He is little old man who always
travels about with a grimy black bag
flung over his shoulder and he is known
in several hundred downtown business
offices as ''the doctor" His line of prac-
tice is. an unusual one. It is confined en-
tirely to type-writers and in all the ills
which these complicated machines are
heir to he poses as an eminent specialist.
His knowledge of mechanics is exten-
sive and some years ago when type
writers first came in he was out OF work.
While visiting the Office of manufac-
turer in search of employment he was
asked to repair a machine that was out
of order and he did it so well that sew
eral of the other tenants of the building
engaged him to touch up their type

that extend into the hundreds and in

WAYS asks, Does your writer need

way he is very proud of it. sa
The greater part of his work is done
on the. spot with the tools that fill the
grimy black bag, but sometimes he finds
a typewriter in such very bad way

THE TALE OF A. LAMB STEW.
A Tempting Dish That yainly Sought for

A Tempting Dish That yain1y Sought for
Market
I was sitting at lunch counter eat
ing ham sandwich. A lean man next
me was also eating ham sandwich; a
row of men behind him eating, some
one thing some another. The keeper
of the restaurant was calling out the
bill of fare for the benefit of new
conner: Tomato soup, chicken pie,
fried veal and lamb stew" etc. The
lean man next me said, with sort of
scornful emphasis: Lamb stewr' as
though he had previously suffered disap-
pointment with that particular dish; he
he spoke louder than he intended, and
the waiter heard what she took for an
order and called out in emphatic tone:
Lamb stew" (This was an order to
her associate behind the partition).
The lean man stopped chewing for
moment and gave me a sepulchral look,
as much as to say: "Now have done
it.' He considered the situation for a
moment, gobbled up the rest of the
sandwich, and said privately to me, as
he slid off his stool: 81 guess I'd better
get out of this" he handed in his ten
cents for sandwich and coffee and softly
departed. In a few moments the waiter
appeared holding aloft a platter with a
bread-plate, napkin, etc., and in the.
blandest of tones inquired: Lamb
stew?' Nobody answered. I contin-
ued eating nay sandwich, and could see
in the dim distance the coat tails of the
missing lean man, but l said nothing.

FUNNY BLUNDERS.
Some Ludicrous Examples of Misapplied
~. Sneech. - =. -.

Some Ludicroas Examples of Misapplied
as Speech.
Peculiarities of speech are sectional,
and, combined, they produce a dialect
which is listinctively southern, or west
ern, or New England, as the case may
be. Who would doubt that Yankee of
Yankees made this speech:
. 81 don't s'pose there amt nobody
seen nothin' of no old felt hat no
where?" -.r
The redundancy of negatives alone
would betray origin, the asking and an
swering question in the same breath,
and the familiar Il don't spose," which
in the west would be changed to 'I
don't guess" and in the south, II don't
reckon" 3
There is something picturesque in the
brevity and construction of the SEN
tenees, too consistent with the sur
roundings. Take a specimen in a half
grown lad, scantily dressed, lounging
up to farm house and asking with the
slow drawl of his kind: e
Il don't s'pose You don't know of no
body that don't want to hire nobody to
do nothin'?'' -
Then there is the peculiar misappliea-
| tion of remembered words, which thrust
| themselves into conversation as mis-
fits with ludicrous effect We all know
| what terror strikes the rural breast at
sight of one of those missives of hasty
news, the telegram. An old lady said
with some excitement: s
"There must have something terrible
happened over at Pixies Corners, for ]
see boy on cyclopedia riding over
there with a dispatch. "-Detroit Free

Facts About the Eyes.

"The eye doctor who tells you to wear
glasses while your eyes are good to
keep them so can be safely written down
as humbug and quack," says an
oculist. 81 am not saying anything
against shaded, or even plain glasses to
protect the eyes from dust, although
even those are of doubtful value. but
the man who says he can give you
glasses to keep a good pair OF eyes IN
first-elass shape has either got some
glasses left on his hands which he wants
to sell off or he doesn't know what he
is talking about. The moment 1T be-
comes painful to read in good light
| with the naked eye glasses are required,
but until then they are best left severely
alone. It is true that the demand for
glasses has increased very rapidly since
| the adoption of electricity for lighting
purposes in st. Louis, but it is more the
abuse of this powerful Illuminating
power than it's use that is doing the
mischief. Electric lights in street car
are very luxurious, but they encourage
reading, and are from an optician'p
point of view objectionable.-Chicago

THE DEACON WAS MAD.

He Thought Turkish Baths Might be Good
for Some People.
The two young men had induced the
deacon to take his first Turkish bath.
They had gotten him properly attired,
or rather unattired, and had conducted
him to the hot room. 4
The deacon didn't enjoy it, but he was
game. He rolled around nervously on
his cot, and every time. he moved he
seemed to strike hotter spot. But he
stood it like man until the perspiration
made rivulets innumerable in running
off him. Then he lifted himself up on
his elbow and said pla intively;
Lets go out of this.p
But the young men only laughed and
told him to keep quiet; that it was just
getting comfortable. II s...
When he finally absolutely refused to
| stand it any longer they led him into
the steam room, and sat down to gossip
| and enjoy his discontinue as he felt
himself slowly boiling away.
And the deacon seemed inclined to
lose his temper. 1t was aggravating to
be SO extremely uncomfortable when
they were apparently enjoying them,
selves. and would offer him no means oi
escape, that would, to say the least, be
dignified. + .asz ta .ssa
But there was an end to it; he got out
and as he looked more in sorrow thar
in anger from one to the other of them
one asked:
''Well, deacon, what do you think o
] it?'' .
The deacon replied solemnly, and witt
all due dignity, but rather pointedly:
/ 'It's a good thing young man; it's
