AN OBSTINATE WOMAN.

How She Was Cured of ScoIding
When the DuckIng-Stool Failed.
There is a tradition of a Gloucester
shire scold whose obstinate DISPOSE
ton defied the ducking stool, says the
National Review. After the first
"sousing" in the village horse pond
her husband exclaimed: ..Molly!
Molly! Wool thee promise never to
scold at / agai:i?" AS soon as Molly
recovered her breath she replied in a
laundering voice OF moroseness: ''No,
/ won't do nothing O. th'zortW Molly
had another souse, and the husband
met with the same acrimonious re-
Spouse to his anxious interrogation.
The sousing was repeated, but Molly
continued to be obdurate and contl-
macious. "You may drown T. shout
ed Molly, "but l wool never give in. y
They did not run the risk of drowning
Molly, but released her, for the nus
band was convinced that she would
ssrather drown than refuse to wag her
red rag at un'' whenever she felt in
clined to do so. It did not cure
Molly. She became as great a scold
as ever she had been before her public
"sousing." Some years after that
critical punishment the lord of the
manor met John at court leet and
inquired: "Well, John, how does
Molly get on now with her scolding?"
sob, squire, her be pretty nearly
cured ont" "Did the ducking- stool
do that business?" "Oh, no. I let her
jaw on as long as her liked. ged her
no back answers. I zot quiet and
blowed me bacca, and her soon dropt
her scolding and be now as good a
woman as they be made"

Resemblance Between Husband
and Wife.

1t is byno means a new theory that
a man and woman who have been
married a great many years grow to
resemble each other. not only in man
ner and voice, but actually. as to
features and expression. Quite re-
Gently the Photographic association
OF Geneva has been investigating the.
truth OF this theory by the aid OF the
camera. The photographs OF seventy
eight elderl Y or very old married oou-
pies We're taken, sand an equal number
OF family groups. The result proved
quite satisfactory to holders of this
theory, inasmuch as in twenty-four
cases the resemblance between hus-
band and wife was much greater than
that between brother and sister, and
IN thirty cases more it was fully as
great. The failure OF the other TWEEN
ty-four old couples to realize the ex-
pectations: of those interested in the
matter is supposedly due to. "incom-
'patibility OF disposition" which time
was apparently unable to, combat in
it's effects.

A Bear Attempts to Upset Boat
and Is Drowned.

/ was d boy OF ten years. My father
and family resided in New Brunswick,
where the Digdigquash river met the
ocean. But few settlers were there,
and the forest prineval stood around
the dwelling of those few. Bears were
plenty, and, like all bears, fond of
mutton, sometimes chasing the sheep
even to the doors of the inhabitants.
Many had been victims of the hunter 8
gun, yet their number apparently had
not diminished.
One day my father and a neighbor
named Mclean were crossing the river
in a log canoe, when they discovered q
bear swimming in the same direction.
Dexteriously plying their paddles
they came between him and the place
where he intended landing. This cut
off enraged the animal, which immedi-
ately made for the canoe, putting one
paw ON its low gunwabe A smart
blow with the edge of a hardwood
paddle made the fellow relinquish his
grasp. After good deal Of hustling
Mclean managed to- get hold Of the
BEARS hind legs, holding ON each side
OF the stern of the canoe, father, at
the same time, with his paddle, keep
ing the craft upright until the creature
was drowned, and thus the game was
secured. He was a Large brute and an
old offender. forest and Stream.

Theism to the flat negations Of an
Atheistic Materiaism, out OF which
she has emerged, by way OF Spiritual
ism, into the realm of Theosophy, is
one ofwhich we may search in vain in
contemporary religious biography.
Such a story could not fail to be full
OF suggestion in any case, even if the
writer were obscure and unknown.
How much more interesting, then,
must it be when it reaches us from one
OF the most eloquent of living women,
who is still in the zenith of her pow
ers.

Sick Men,

One might smile, were it not 50 pitt
able, to see the impotence with which
strong, active man succumbs to the
necessity OF lying a few weeks on a
bed Of sickness; the petulance which
men in vain try to smother, at pills
and portions, in place Of their favorite
dish or drink orcigar; the many orders
they give and countermand, in the
same breath, to the wife and mother,
who calmly accept all this as part Of
her woman lot, and who dare not,
for the life of her smile at the fuss this
Gagged lion is making because his ra-
tions are cut off tor few days.
This "being sick patiently" is
a lesson we think man has yet
to learn; but it is a good thing
that "the lords OF creation' are some
times laid on the shelf awhile, that
they may better appreciate the cheer
full endurance with which thefeeble wife
mother bears the household cares all
the same-on the pillow where lies
with her the newly born. Pain and
weakness never interrupt her con-
slant, careful forethought for her fami-
~. Husbands are too apt to take
these everyday heroisms as matters
Of course. Therefore, we say again, it
is we'll sometimes that their attention
should be awakened to it, when the
doctor has vetoed for them for a while
the office and the counting room, and
5hey are childishly frantic at Cruel and
closed blinds.-New York Ledger.

A STORY REToLD.

The Colored Brother and the Soldier
With the Wooden Leg.
There was once a man who had
wooden leg.
The man was an officer in the Union
army. He had lost his meat leg, as
the little boy said, at Sharpsburg.
But the wooden leg was such a good
one that its owner still passed for
biped, even among some OF his intim-
ate friends.
One day runaway negro, contra
band, strolled into camp, and the Off
Ger engaged him as his body servant.
After looking long upon the wine
one night at a little dinner, the officer
came home to his tent. He called his
contraband to help pull off his boots.
Nov Sam he said, "be careful.
One OF these boots is tight, and it
most pulls my leg out to get it off.
Besides feel rather fimsy tonight
"I'se allus keerful, boss" replied
Sam. and he carefully removed the
first boot
When the contraband began to pull
at the other boot the officer Ioosened
the straps Of the wooden leg little.
Sam pulled hard and things came with
a rush.
"There! There! I told you to, be
careful, shouted the officer, as the
leg came off. Il was afraid you'd pull
that leg Off
Sam saw the leg protruding from
the top OF the boot which he had pull
ed off.
His eyes bulged out like Holsters,
and he yelled just once as he sprung
Tor the door.
'.Lemme go, femme CO." he shrieked
as he dashed through the group out
side. ~ never done nuffin!' And he
was still yelling when he disappeared
IN the woods. They never saw him in
camp again. Herald

WHAT CHINESE WOMEN DO.
Their Wonderful Embroidery Is as
Perfect on One Side as the Other.

Their Wonderful Embroidery Is as
Perfect on One Side as the Other.
Chinese embroidery is the most re-
markable which ever came from hui
man fingers. Any lady who has ever
attempted embroidery understands
the difficulty OF giving neat appear
ance to. her work only on one side Of
the article embroidered, but the Chi
nese embroider both sides, so that by
turning the work it is impossible to
detect difference or to say which is
the neater, and this, too, on material
SO thin that it seems impossible to
work with it at all. One of the most
peculiar features Of a piece of Chinese
fancy work is the hem with which they
finish the cut edge.
American ladies fold down a fiat
hem and fasten it with whip stitch;
the Chinese roll the edge so as to make
a cord, and then hold it in position
by a blind stitch The work is won
| derfully delicate, and 1t is said to be
done by Chinese women working ait
! what we should consider starvation
wages. Whole dresses are embroidered
Just as beautifully and with the same
regard to detail as the smallest az tiefe
OF luxury or comfort, and the amount
OF work done on. one Of these large
pieces OF heavy silk is simply astound-
ing to one not familiar with Chinese
workmanship. st. Louis Globe Dem

a WREATH OF ROSES.

+ =
Idly the maiden's fingers weave
A cleaning crown OF roses red,
And singing soft the while, she lays
The fragrant burden OH her head.
For their swift death she does not grieye.
Nor sorrow o er such sweetness fled,
As threading sunny woodland ways
She listens for her lovers tread
Enwrapped in bliss her soul reposes:
All! little she recks OF the griefs Of roses.
Alas! the fairest hopes deceive!
She cannot dream what power dread,
With hand uplifted, by her stays,
To pluck her in the roses stead!
Zen while her breast with love doth heaye
She droops amid the blossoms dead;
And to our dim. affrighted gaze
Despair, of helpless terror bred,
An awful unknown fate discloses
To whom a girls no more than roses.

by Beach g. Bowers at the Court

drew crowded house, standing room
was scarce, and those who witnessed
the performance say it was all that
could be desired. Their side split
ing jokes were highly appreciated, as
well as the fine singing by their cele-
brated quartettc.
This proves that good entertain
ment is always appreciated in Morris,
especially of the mirth giving kind;
but we have had SO many of the
rotten kind for the past few years,
that the people are Disguised.

LIST. We condemn any alliance member

or any other place, and tell falsehoods
about the president of the State Alliance;
or the officers of the county alliance, OF any
other alliance.
End. We should not buy anything from
any man who tells falsehoods about our
state or county alliance officers.
Srd. We will not support any man for
Office who is not possessed of moral
character; for those who get full, and fill up
others are not fit for Office.
4th. We are convinced that in the fall of
1890, there were alliance members who
voted the G. 0. p. ticket, suekmembers are
a curse to the alliance, and the sooner they
get out of it, the better for them, and the
alliance also.
9th. That the members of the alliance be
more prompt in paying their dues.
9th. That these resolutions be published
in the Morris Sun, and the Great West.
And we hope that every alliance will, adopt
these resolutions.
