Urea TMENT OF CHILDREN.

That it is bad policy to be rude to
children, is the least of the things to
be said against it. Over this they
will triumph, sooner or later. The
average healthy child has d native
bias toward gracious good behavior
and kindly affections. He will win
and be won IN the long run. and the
chances are, have better manners
than his father But the pain that
we give these blessed little ones
when we wound their tenderness
for that there is no atOning. Over
that they can never triumph, either
now or hereafter.
know little girl, ten years old,
of nervous temperament, whose
whole physical condition is disorder
ed, and seriously, by her mothers
habitual atmosphere of RUDE fault
finding. She is sickly, fretful, un-
happy, almost unbearable, child. If
She lives to grow up, she will be
sickly, fretful, unhappy, unlovely
woman. But her mother Is just as
much responsible for the whole as if
she had deranged her system by feed
ing her on poisonous drugs. Yet she
anxious mother, and, in spite OF this
manner, a loving one. She does not
know that there IS any better way
than hers. She does not see that her
child is mortified and harmed when
she says to her, in the presence OF
strangers, How do you suppose
you look with your mouth open like
that ?" do you want me to show
you how you are sitting :" and then
a grotesque imitation of her stoop-
ing shoulders. "Will you sit still for
one moment? ' DO take your hands
off my dress" Was there ever such
an awkward child ?" When the
child replies fretfullv and disagree
ably, she does not see that 1t IS only
an exact reflection of her own voice
and manners.
To this day the old tingling pain
burns my cheeks as l recall rude and
contemptuous words which were
said to me when l was very young,
and stamped on my memory forever.

brought the wrong book from my
fathers study. Nothing could be
said to me today which would give
me a tenth part of the hopeless sense
of degradation which came from
those words. Another time, on the
arrival OF an unexpected guest to
dinner, l was sent, in great hurry,
away from the table, to make room,
with the remark that lit was not
of the least consequence about the
child she could just as well have her
dinner afterward." The child"
would have been only too happy to
help on the hospitality OF the sudden
emergency, if the thing had been diff
ferently put; but the sting Of having
it put in that way l never forgot.
Yet in both these instances the rude
ness was so small, in comparison
with what we habitually see, that it
would be too trivial to mention,
except for the bearing Of the fact
that the pain it gave has lasted till
now.-[From Bits of Home Talk, by

SHE WAS NO FLAT.

How did she take your offer of
marriage? ?"
"She asked me what l intended to
do with her after l married her
"A prudent girl
Il told her l would hire a fiat for
her, and she said living in a fiat with
a fat would be a rather fiat
existence.
That wasn't very fattering,
though it wasn't fiat refusal"
1T was fiat failure, nevertheless.
so the whole thing may be said
to have fallen fiat"

BRILLIANT RECEPTION.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. G. Young Close
the Ante-Lenten Season.

The aute-Lenten season of festivity was
brought to Il brilliant close last evening
by a reception given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward +. G.. Young. at their residence
on Glenwood avenue. Notwithstanding
the inclement weather, scores OF carriages
plou9hed their way through the Dismal
Swamp into which a DAYS rain always
transforms Glen wood avenue, and humid
reds of society folk from every part of
the city passed under the canopy to the
brilliantly lighted drawing room The
floral decorations were Drofuse and
~elaborate; the central stairway, ascend
ing from the entrance hall, was a mass of
green. Large palms stood i'll the hall it
self, and the doors and chandeliers in the
drawing rooms on either side were twined
with smilaX and roses, while banks OF
roses aud towering plants covered the
mantels.s However, at no time during
the evening could a full view of the floral
decorations be obtained, so crowded with
guests was every available inch OF space.
At no reception this winter has there
been so large a number OF young ladies,
a feature which added greatly to the brill
liancv of the event. Supper was served

First and Las Appearance of the Green
Vile Murphies.
The frs t ball of the j. L. Murphy Asso-
citation of Gieenville will probably be the
! asst 1t was given Monday night. The
standard bearer, j. L. Murphy, advanced
the money to meet The necessary ex-
pens es. and as there were but twenty
couples present he was out about 500.
Mr.. S. FL. Miesegaes. leader OF the band,
hearing how matters stood, demanded
his money. He was slightly the worse
for liquor, aud after some hot words with
Murphy the latter mounted the band
stand aud started in to do" Miese gaes.
Ladies screamed aud pandemonium
reigned supreme. As usual there was no
policeman present. and bat for the mu-
sicians who interfered. Murphy would
have thrown Miesegaes over the railing
of the stand to the floor below, a distance
of about twenty feet. Murphy has quite
"a local reputation as a boxer. and as soon
as he finished Messages he started III to
lick several of the members. He hit two
or three, and would nave CLEANED out the
place had not Mr.. Vreeland. tn proprie-

were then put out, anu one of the liveliest
balls ever held in Greenvi lille came to II

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A Good Characterization to Make De-
iicious Chocolate and Croquettes.
A cheap portable disinfectuut is per-
manganate of potash; a bottle full of
these crystals, bought at the store of any
chemist. will last for years. 1t can be
used when wanted by putting a pinch of
the potash over night in a jug of water;
in the morning it will present a reddish
appearance, and can be used for drains,
etc. A small quantity of this liquid Kept
in Il basin aud renewed daily Keeps a
room fresh and DESTROYS disease germs.
The only drawback is that, If TOO strong,
the liquid will stain linen; at the same
time it has the great advantage of being
easily carried about, while it eau be pre-
pared in the smallest quantity at a mo-
ment's notice.
The most delicious cup of chocolate ever
drunk WIS served at u luncheon the other
day. The recipe for the mixture, which
the hostess said was of Mexican origin. is
four small squares of sweet chocolate
heated until soft over teakettle or sauce
pan Add a quart of milk to the choco-
late and stir 1t smooth; then while it is
heating break three eggs and separate the
whites and yolks. Cream the yolKs, froth
the whites. and when the chocolate boils
set the pot in IA cool place. mix half II cup
full of 1t with the yolks of the eggs, and
when we'll mixed beat them rapidly with
the remainder OF the chocolate. Stir III
the whites of the eggs as quickly aud
serve at once. The eggs must be added
before the chocolate has time to cool, and
must on no account be boiled after they
are stirred in. Serve with salty
ened waters.
A ~teaspoonful of glycerin to a gill of
glue makes acement for fastening leather,
paper or wool to metal, which is said to
be excellent.
A lump of bread about twice the size
OF an egg tied in a linen bag and inserted
in the pot which boils vegetables. will
absorb the gases which oftentimes send
such an insupportable odor to regions
above. n
A t~easpoonful of good cider vinegar
added to one gil, of pure raw linseed, oil
is said to make an excellent furniture
polish. :

sence of peppermint or spirits of camphor,
