Anecdotes md Their Use.

No biographer can afford to neglect the
illustrations and anecdotes of everyday life,
for they may serve his purpose more sue
c~essfully than the most elaborate analysis.
Without the use of anecdote it is there
fore impossible to attempt biography, and
when a biographer mentions a peculiar
characteristic an anecdote may justify his
statement and confirm his accuracy. Thus
one may read that Adam Smith was re-
markably absentminded. No one will
doubt this when told that once having to
sign his name to an official document the
great economist produced, not his own sig
nature, but an elaborate imitation of a sig
nature of the person who signed before
him, and That On another occasion q SEN
tinel on duty having saluted him in mill
tary style was surprised to see him &C
knowledge it by an awkward copy of the
same gestures.
Busch, the Boswellian b~iographer of Bis
marck, says that the chancellor is of a
choleric disposition. The least vexation is
liable to provoke him to volcanic outbursts
Of temper, but the eruption rapidly sub
sides. He tells no confirmatory anecdotes,
but Count Buest comes to his rescue, say
ing in his memoirs" that Bismarck once
left the emperor's apartment in a rage,
and finding that he was carrying by acct
dent the key with him he threw it into a
basin in a friends room and broke the
basin into fragments. Are you ill?"

Suddenly l awoke-as suddenly as if had

Fathers and Their Children,

So much has been said about the f~rivolty,
Incompetence or fussiness of American
mothers that it will not be amiss to inquire
into the characteristics of our fathers of
families. With the best intentions in the
world the time that a city man can spend
with his family is usually very limited,
and he is not always in the mood to exert
a helpful influence when he returns at
night worn out with business cares, and
often prefers the club, lodge or %neighboring
corner to his family circle-his wife may
see little of him and his children less.
1t is not a matter of Indifference, how
ever, even in regard to health, whether the
children enjoy a due proportion of their
fathers companionship, for that is or
should be Il vital factor in the children's
growth and education, and whenever they
are deprived of it certain elements of char
acter and mind are almost always absent.
Look round among your friends where
the children have grown up without a ia
ther Il see if your observation does not
show that there is some quality of mind or
heart, some check or balance wanting, that
no one else could supply.-Henry L. Taylor
in Popular Science Monthly.

About Airing Beds.

In airing beds the most thorough careful
housekeeper often errs through her very
thoroughness. She will shake the sheets,
blankets, ETC., and hang them out of the
window and over chairs. having them all
exposed as much as possible to the direct
rays of the sun and in the strongest breeze,
and this is just what should be done. Then
the pillows will be taken up and thumped
until they are soft and fluffy and placed in
the very suaniest spot, and this is all
wrong. The sun will draw the oil from
the feathers. and the pillows will have a
rancid, disagreeable odor. Expose them to
the air daily; be as thorough as you please
In this, and place the pillowslips in the
sun if you wish, but do not make the mis-
take of giving pillows, holsters, cushions
or anything containing feathers a long sun
bath, or you will do them more harm than
good.-Exchange.

A Useful Little Pet.

The average housekeeper will be pleased
to hear that of late years there has been
added to the family of pets a small creature
much sought after and highly priced by
the youngsters. 1t is a turtle of the smaller
variety and sometimes a tortoise.
When said youngsters start off for the
woods and return bearing in their hands a
squirming, struggling turtle a feeling more
of disgust than of pleasure is seen depicted
upon the face of the average housekeeper.
But if the woman in question will harbor
the little creature in the yard or kitchen,
to the infinite delight of the boys and girls,
she will find herself suddenly growing at
tached to it, for the simple reason that it
performs certain little Offices by which it
soon endears itself to- the heart of the
housekeeper.
They cost little or nothing to keep, feed
ing mostly on lettuce leaves or other veg
etable matter, and render useful service
by keeping a kitchen or garden free from
beetles and vermin.-New York CONNER

SQuabble in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, O.,Nov. 13.-At midnight
the republican state committee COM
pleted its table Of plurality, with all
counties heard from officially with the
exception Of four, and these are esti-
mated. Some corrections were received
at a late hour from Hamilton and Cuya-
hoga counties, which are among those
not recently reported. These reduce the
plurality of Taylor, republican, for Sec
rotary Of state; to 767, and the table
shows the Harrison electors to have been
elected by 1877 plurality. The commit
tee, however, comedies the probable
election of Seward, an elector who heads
the Cleveland list, owing to bungling on
the part of voters who placed a mark
opposite the name of the first elector
and the others were not counted. The
Democratic committee claims the cleo.
ton of Electors Seward, Curtin and pos
sibly others.

A Sign.

The dried alligator not unfrequently
seen in drug stores comes down to us from
the 'chymist" of early times, and had its
origin in the belief that dragons blood was
y remedy for many diseases. According to
the legend, the dragon was accustomed to
eat his own tail, and then death followed
the operation. The poison that he was
believed to secrete was supposed to be
highly medicinal. AS it was impossible to
obtain the body of a dragon to suspend as
q sign in front of the "chymist's" shop an
alligator or crocodile was substituted, and,
with the conservatism characteristic of
some trades, the druggists nave kept on
employing the sign, though they have for
gotten it's origin, and long since ceased to
believe in the virtue of dragons blood

How Ney Faced Death.

Marshal Ney was the son of a hardwork-
ing cooper, and had risen from the ranks
of the army. He was a child of the people,
and whatever may have been his ~vanities
he threF them all aside in his last days.
When he was led out to death, an officer
ordered a bandage tied over his eyes.
"Why should you do thatP' said Ney.
Haven't I been accustomed for twenty
five years to look bullets and cannon balls
in the facet"
He himself ordered the soldiers to fire,
standing and facing them.
His career summed up in one life the
spectacular heroism of the past.-Youth's

where the amount of business for the
postoffce is from $4,000 to $4,000 for the

law Wa-Keeney would be entitled to a
