WHATTO DO WITHA BAD TEMPER.

Starve it; give it nothing to feed
on. When something tempts you to
grow angry, do not yield to the
temptation. 1t may for a minute or
two be difficult to control yourself,
but try it. Force yourself to do
nothing, to say nothing. and the ris-
ing temper will be obliged to go
down, because it will have nothing
to hold it up. The person who can
and does control tongue, hand and
heart, in the face of great provoca-
ton is hero. The world may not
own him or her as such, but God
does. The Bible says that he who
ruleth his own spirit is better than
he that taketh a city. What is gain
ed by yielding to temper? For a
moment there is a feeling of relief;
but soon there comes a sense of sor-
row and shame, with wish that the
temper had been controlled. Friends
are separated by bad temper, trou-
BILE is caused byit, and pain is given
to others as well as to self. That
pain too often lasts for days, even
years-sometimes for life. An out
burst of temper is like the bursting of
a steam-boiler; it is impossible to tell
beforehand what will be the result
The evil done may never be remedied.
Starve your temper. 1t is not worth
keeping alive. Let it die Selected.

SAVED BYA DREAM.

An instance in which a dream was
useful in preventing an inn bending
catastrophei is recorded ola daughter
of Mrs Rutherford at Enderton, the
granddaughter of Sir Walter Scott.
This lady dreamed more than once
that her mother had been murdered
by a black servant. She was so
much upset by this that she returned
home, and to her great astonishment,
and not a little to her dismay, she
met on entering the house the very
black servant she had met in her
dreams. He had been engaged in
her absence. She prevailed upon a
gentleman to watch in an adjoining
room during the following night
About three O'Clock in the morning
the gentleman heard footsteps on the
stairs, came out and met the servant
carrying a quantity of Goals. Being
questioned as to where he was going,
he anwered confusedly that he was
going to mend the mistress fire,
which at three O'Clock in the morn
ing in the middle of the summer was
evidently impossible. On further in
vestiga ton a strong knife was found
hidden in the Goals. The lady es-
capped, but the man was subsequent
ly hanged for murder, and before his
execution he confessed that he in
tended to have ASA ssinated Mrs.
Rutherford. Il

HIS CURIOSITY WAS SATISFIED.

In an elevated railway train last
week sat a tired-looking workman,
and with him was an active boy of
about1O years. They were going
uptown.
At Chambers street a young man
with big basket got into the car and
sat down opposite the pair. He put
the basket on the seat beside him, and
pulling a newspaper from his pocket
held it before his face and was soon
oblivious to his surroundings
The boy was restless. Heconstant-
~ hdgeted. The man restrained him
several times, but chains and gag
would hardly have kept him perfect
" quiet. His eye was instantly fixed
upon the basket. He made up his
mind that there was something good
inside it.
Papa, papa" he demanded.
Hush, boy !"said the tired man as
he leaned his head against the win
dow, closed his eyes and tried to
sleep.
Cant l look into it, papa?'
Don't bother me, | say"
Silence followed for little time and
then:
Say, >, papa, I only want to look.
Look at anything you like, but
don't wake me again or I'll cuffyou.
The boy slipped from his seat
cautiously. He kept an eye on the
owner OF the basket, but the news
paper still held him and the coast
was clear. The basket had a strong
wicker cover, which was fastened
firmly with a string. He tried to I'M
tie the string for some time, but fail
ing in this, he took a jack-knife out
of his pocket and stealthlv cut the
knot Taking another careful look
at the owner of the basket, the mis-
chievous lad lifted the lidslowly, and
putting his eye to the opening,
peered in.
Quick las a flash the cover was knock
ed up out of his hand, and a brown
streak shot from inside it to the top
of the boys head. The lads first cry
of surprise was followed immedia tely
by shrieks of pain and terror. Some
thing live was perched on the boys
head, tearing his hair out in wisps
and scratching his face and ears till
the blood ran.
The father grabbed his precious
boy just as the owner of the animal
grabbed the monkey from the boys
head and restored it to the basket.
The lad had not much of look at
the monkey, but his curiosity seemed
to be fully satis6ed-[New York Tri

Seating herself at the kitchen-table
again. she pulled the candle nearer
and put on her gold-rimmed glasses.
Then she read Benjamin Cranes let

wrote:

She directed the envelope and en-
closed the letter. Then she sat still
a long time thinking. The clock in
the parlor struck ten. She put away

SOME OLD Toys.

The destructive prOpenS1tleS OF
most children are so commonly recog
nized that it is rather surprising to
read of the sale of collection of old
lavthings, many of which had form
ed the delight of royal children who
have long since gone over to the
great majority. The sale took place
in the city auction rooms in Paris,
and the interesting old toys seem to
have fetched, in many instances,
higher prices than were anticipated.
A small doll, for example, less than
a foot high, but perfectly modelled,
and clad in panoply of steel, went
for over six hundred francs. Doubt
less it's value was enhanced by the
circumstances that it had been the
property of child who lived when
Louis XIII. sat on the throne of
France Over forty pounds were
given for a tiny set of carved wooden
carriages, with little wooden soldiers
which had been the plaything of a
juvenile when Napoleon was first
consul, while a toy kitchen, interest
ing as being an exact model of a real
kitchen in the time of Louis XVI,
fetched about half that amount. Col
lectivelv, it is stated, the toys of all
descriptions knocked down by the
auctioneer'S hammer fetched almost
fancy prices. If, among the purchas-
ers, there were men or women sent1-
mentally inclined, these playthings

REFORMED BYPEPPER.

A lady living in one of the suburbs
of New York has a fine, large Eng
lish setter, who is constantly amaz-
ing her by some unexpected and
original trait of character, saws the
Albany Journal.
About a month ago he came frisk-
ing into her room just before break
fast and laid down gently at her feet
a fresh, newly-laid egg. Laughingly
she picked it up, wondering how he
could have carried it in his mouth
without breaking it.
Taking it to the kitchen, the dog
following and seemingly extremely
interested as to what she proposed
to do with his treasure-trove, she
said to the cook: Jim has brought
me a present; please poach it for my
breakfast"
The intelligent brute watched the
process of its preparation with eager
interest and if ever dog showed and
felt conscious pride it was exhibited
by Jim as he delightedly watched his
beloved mistress eating the egg.
To the lady's great surprise the
next morning he again appeared
with his dainty gift and, although
she feared it was stoleh property, his
mistress had not the heart to disap-
point him by not having it cooked
for her breakfast.
She was touched by his evident
joy in being able to do something
for her, but when, day after day, it
| became a regular occurrence she
resolved to search the neighborhood
to find who had been despoiled on
her account.
1t was in vain, however, that she
inquired on all sides; no one had
missed any eggs. Finally her mind
was relieved by seeing Jim appear
several mornings with an extremely
| detected and creStfallen mien and no
eggs.
"Ah, they have found you out,
have they, old fellow?" she said
caressing the unhappy-looking ami
NAL. well, honesty is the best
policy, and am glad to have found
a way out of it without hurting
your feelings"
A few days afterwards, while walk
ing in the village with Jim, she heard
little boy exclaim: Mamma
mamma, there is the dog that stole
our eggs; just look at him! guess
he don't like the red pepper" for
Jim was regarding the smiling little
mother and her son with ineffable
disgust, Sinking by them in a way
very different from his usual gallant
bearing.
His owner, feeling very much like a
receiver Of stolen goods, profered ex
plantations and apologies, which
were received with much amusement
the small boy declaring that such a
dog deserved the egg and that he
should have one every time he came
for it.
But Jim had had enough of eggs
forever and day, and now always
draws up his lips and growls when
ever one is placed before him.

woMENs WAGES STANDING STILL.

cit makes me tired to hear SO
much about higher wages for men
and to see women getting paid pre-
cisely the same as they received TWEEN
ty years ago." said an Allegheny
housekeeper yesterday. Nearly
every trade in which men have con-
troll and are employed has seen
gradual but great increase since the
war. With women it is different.
Twenty years ago a woman who
came to my house for a days work
got dollar-tha't what she gets to-
day. Twenty years ago | paid my
cook So a week; l pay another girl
the same wages for the same work
to-day. AS far as l know, the scales
ofwages for women in the lines which
they monopolize is exactly what it
was generation ago. | don't COM
plain because l am an employer,
Perhaps it is just; perhaps women
were worth so much in 1860 and ex-
actly the same in 1890 in certain
lines of work. But if this is so
doesn't it seem singular that mems
wages should all have advanced in
the same time; and advanced as
much as 100, and even 200 and 300
per cent. in some cases? l know
that all mems wages have not grown
in this way, but there are enough to
make a pretty strong contrast. | fell
to thinking of it when my husband
was talking to me the other day
about the comparative value OF
mems and women's work, and per-
haps some profounder student of
economics can give me an explana-
ton of the Observation-Disclosures

THE WRESTLING GIRL.

The whistling girl does not COM
monty come to bad end. Quite as
often as any other girl she learns to
whistle cradle song, low and sweet
and charming to the young voter in
the cradle She is girl of spirit, Of
independence of character, of dash
and flavor; and as to lips, you must
have some sort of presentable lips to
whistle; thin ones will not. The
whistling girl does not come to a
bad end at all (if marriage is still
considered a good occupation), ex-
cept a cloud may be thrown upon her
exuberant young life by this rascally
proverb. Even if she walks the lone
ly road of life, she has this advan-
tage, that she can whistle to keep her
courage up. But in a larger sense,
one that this practical age can I'M
derstand, it is not true that the
whistling girl comes to bad end.
Whistling pays. 1t has brought her
money; it has blown her name
around the whistling world. Scarce
ly has the non-whistling woman been
more famous. She has set aside the
adage. She has done so much
toward the emancipation OF her sex
from the prejudice created by an i'll
natured proverb which never had
root in fact.
But has the whistling woman come
ostay? Is it well for women to whis
tie? Are the majority of women
likely to be whistlers? These are
serious questions, not to be taken up
in a light manner at the end of a
grave paper. Will woman ever learn
to throw a stone? There it is. The
future is inscrutable. We only know
that whereas they did not whistle
with approval, now they do; the
prejudice of generations gradually
melts away. And woman's destiny
is not linked with that of the hen,
nor to be controlled by a proverb-
perhaps not by anything.-[Charles

p0yreT POLITICS ALWAYS WlNS.

When the Republicans took control OF
Santa Fe county it was in obedience to
the ropumr mandate, The county affairs
had been mismanagcd. Public money
had been stolen to debauch the suffrage,
and the revenues misapplied often to
wrong and more often to useless pur-
poses. The Republican party found its
duty plainly marked out. 1t was ordered
by the people to faithfully collect and
honestly account for and apply the taxes
This it did efficiently, and besides made
vigorous efforts to recover vast sums en-
bezzlad by the corrupt ring that had SO
long impoverished the county. The sum
of S2f00) WAS taken in one lump and
every election previous to the one just
closed cost the county thousands of dol
lars because the sheriHs used public funds
to buy votes. The Republicans raised
their Legitimate campaign funds by far
and honest methods. The collector
publicly AMI honestly accounted for every
q
dollar of the assessors lovyi the probate
iu lge and clerk, faithfully performed
every duty, no ballot box or other prop
erty was counivodly stolen from their
Office. The other Republican officers
likewise performed their duties faithfully
What is the rcsultE The Republicans
we're elected by large majority to cor
rect crying evils. Santa Fe county voters
appreciate honesty just as any other res
pcctable community, Another feature of
Tuesdays election was the absence OF
disorder or intimidation at the polls.
There were no fights, no bribery, no
coorcing, and yet the Republicans win by
over 400 minority.
