One Of the brightest women of nv
acquaintance impulsively invited me
into her kitchen one day to see a
feature of its arrangement, aud
seemed as mortified as was aston
ished to see bean sprouting out of
an evidently old accumulation in a
corner of the sink, while in the hands
of the cook was a black and tattered
rag which well deserved to be labeled
a death.dealing dish cloth. This is
no fancy sketch, but a very fact, and
the foul-smelling dish cloth, saturated
with stale food, seemed to me quite
reason enough for the wret ched
health the cook complained of, even
If the general state of the kitchen

Dore's "Genius and Fate -

wish that some one would buy and
bear away a group in terra Gotta by Gus
tave Dore, which is on view at bric-a-
brac shop that lies within the radius of
my daily walks, and that whenever |
pass the place fills my soul with vain
longings for its possession. 1t is a re-
plica, one-quarter the size of life, of
what was probably his most powerful
effortas a sculptor, his group of Genius
and Destiny" The former, personified
as a slender youth with ruffled wings
and languid aspect, leans against the
knees of the aged crone, the cruelest Of
the Fates, who, with her extended
shears. is just about to cut in twain the
thread of life that her young companion
holds in his listless hands.
1t is wonderful conception, at once
weird and poetic. The price asked for
the group is 500. 1t is rather remark

once knew delightful family of grown
folks and children who succeeded in cor
recting their little errors in English by
means of eternal vigilance and an individ-
ual piece of string A visiting friend sug-
gested the "cure," and joined them in try
ing it. Each person was pledged to watch
under solemn compact mot to get their
feelings hurt"
The piece of twine that each person wore
in his buttonhole served the double pur-
pose of public disgrace and private tally.
One knot stood for blunder and five
knots called for cent for the poorbox.
1t was wonderful how fast cents grew to
be dollars. No one was spared, and no one
shirked his "knot," however often he
might be required to tie one.
OF course nothing so objectionable as a
double negative was ever to be heard in
this bright circle, nor misplaced ''shall"
or will" But "it don't" and "he don't"
and the deceptive "ain't" used up the
children's strings at the rate of twenty or
thirty knots a day. 'I'm not sure but
stead of shat it is" and 'have but one"-
gathered the elder peoples pennies fast.
But one little word, which may almost
be called a shibboleth, dividing careless
from careful speakers everywhere, counted
up more pennies than any other-the SEEM
ingly inoffensivc word real" used as an
adverb.
For instance, some ones hair was said
not to be real, and then half the family
said in breath that they were real sorry''
it wasn'tl Yet no one of them would have
dreamed of saying he was true sorry"
which amounts to the same thing.
When once this bad English was dis.
covered to be lurking among them, they
proceeded to work out their own and one
another's salvation by means of the knotted
string; and as they were much given to
being emphatically sorry or glad about
things from sunrise till bedtime, it was a
very long and knotted road to really
sorry" or ''very sorry" and really or very
glad. ."--Youth's Companion.
