Mr.. Thurber, private secretary to Presi-
dent Cleveland, tells an excellent story of
the efficacy OF prayer. According to his
own narrative, his life was not always so
successful from the material standpoint as
it has become in these present days, and
because of very slender family purse lie
encountered many early privations. promi-
nent III this list was the inability of his
parents to provide pair of high boots in
which his youthful feet could strut about
the village.
Having been carefully instructed that
prayer was the vehicle of attainment to de
sired benefits, it FLASHED over the youngsters
mind that he would put this doctrine to
the test. Accordingly he summoned Il
younger sister and carefully explaining he
situation to her requested her co-operat ion
The two children knelt down, the little sis
ter earnestly repeating after her brother the
oft repeated, briefly pertinent prayer, 80
Lord, please send Henry pair OF boots"
This pointed petition was overheard by a
member of the family and laughingly re-
peated to IA well to do deacon. Touched by
the exhibition of faith, the good man de
cided it should not 20 unrewar,led, SO he
purchased the greatly desired boots for the
boy, who, until the time he entered college,
was supplied with shoe leather from the
same source. Kate Fields Washington.

Making Cowards of Children,

People are very prone to say, what lit
tie coward that child ISL forgetting entire
ly that it is such as they who have made the
little one what it is. No baby is born afraid
of the dark, the big policemen or any of the
one hundred and one bugaboos that nurses
and parents conjure up TO terrorize the
small wrongdoers, but it is made cowardly
by the frightful tictions concocted for its
benefit.
Tell child the truth about everything
always no matter how trivial or unimpor
tant it may be, and it will soon come to
have perfect confidence in everything you
say, a little one declines to 20 into a. dark
room TO bring out its doll that vas left
there because some one has told it of a great
bogie man that turks i'll the dark apart
ments, ready to spring upon little children.
Suppose we were strangers in a strange
land and one of the inhabitants told us of
some hend that lay in hiding in the nearby
forest wouldn't we believe them, and
wouldn't we be very apt to shun the abid
ing place of SO formidable a bogie?
1t is the same way with children. They
are strangers in new and untried land
and rely implicitly on the statements of
those who have greater knowledge of this
large and wonderful world. Therefore
nurses should be trained to tell the truth
regarding the most unimportant happen
Jugs and affairs. -Philadelphia Times.

On North State street there is n bright
and happy young woman who has made q
success of herself as an assistant to a fash
ionable house decorator. She thinks the
employment n capital one for girls and
wonders why more of them are not to be
found unrolling wall papers and coaxing
undecided clients to let her suggest schemes
of coloring for their rooms. She says she
began as II bookkeeper, but was advanced
as soon as her employer found that not only
she could as well as any man persuade the
customers who did not know their own
minds to take precisely those goods which
the establishment wished to get rid Of but
also had an eye for color and patience to
find just the thing determined people
had in mind.
II is a pity some other Chicago girl is not
doing the taking little pastel dinner cards
which are brought to this town from Phil

found that her graceful and apparently

ionable fancy, and her hands are full doing

lions with stock in trade, as she herself
put it, Of "a pair of scissors and a reel of
wire" Now she has seven young women
to assist her in making houses gorgeous
with flowers and drapery for weddings and

One day when the expectation of gold
was at its height and the papers of the land
were filled each day with the recorded
flight of eagles abroad" u large two horse
truck drew up before the subtreasury in
Wall street.
Backing up to the curb, a number of orhi.
nary laborers began carelessly to unload Il
quantity of reddish brown metal slabs wit h
which the vehicle was burlened. lmmedi-
ately crowd gathered and watched the
progress of the metal from the truck up the
alleyway which separates the subtreasury
from the United States assay Office.
see those ingots Of gold?' remarked a
down town merchant to Il friend in passing.
The bullion must be coming our way"
said the other, and the two men paused
with the crowd to watch the laborers at
their work. Others joined the throng, and
many were the comments regarding the i'll
tegr.ty of humble workmen and the pros
pective value of the load. 1t was consider
able, and one statstician estimated that
there was at least 81 100000 worth of metal
openly displayed on the street.
''In no other country" said he, could
such Il thing be done. In England and the
countries Of continental Europe, a regiment
of soldiers would be ordered out to protect
so great IA value"
The crowd listened to him spellbound
and invariably thanked God that they were
born in a free country and where there was
no show Of authority-all except police
man, who, walking up to the throng which
by that time must havenumbcred 100, said:
Come, now, move along. Don't block
the way. Did you never see men working

who passed by the front of the truck no

TREND, who knew all the memb ers and cir
cumstances of the latter family: "Eaci
one of the Blanks taken separately haA
good and even charming qualities, but TAX
en- together they are drcadfull shall new
sr visit there again"
The difference between the two families
lay in the fact that whereas the members
of the first all worked unitedly to make
their guests visit a pleasant one, those Of
the other worked for the same end conflict
ingy.
In the first family 1--WE will call them the
Harmonies for convenience there were
nine individuals of three generations, conf
prisinp a grandmother, her widowed daugh-
Ter, with her son about 16 years old and
daughter of IA a bachelor son of the old
lady, and married daughter with her
Young child and husband, and the last
meutioned's niece, n young lady of about
Is years.
Here one might imagine were some of
the elements of discord ready to hand A
mother-in-law, n son-n-law, a sister-in- law
a hrother-in-law, cousins, an uncle, aunts,
and aunts and cousins by courtesy onlyl
Less diverse elements than these have been
found troublesome in other cases. But this
family very early found out that harmony
was by no means monotony. If false note
were at any time struck, all were by COM
mon though tacit consent agreed that it
should not be struck again. Each member
of this household knew the best points of
all the others, and all were united in their
efforts to bring out the best and ignore the
rest as far as possible, and it is astonishing
how far this is possible when the effort is
made. llarper's Bazar.

Graceful Women Riders.

An eminent physician says: Il have fire.
quently had opportunities to notice the
difference between the riding of men and
women bicyclists, and l have been much
surprised at the contrast between the two.
The women, as "A rule, are graceful, digni-
fled and easy. The men in the majority of
instances have looked more like agitated
grasshoppers than anything else that
could imagine. They sprawl over their
wheels, sit with their spinal column almost
in a half circle and act as though it We're
necessary to work for dear life in order TO
get ahead. l think it safe to say that not
one man in twenty-five rides really well.

The breakfast table mood is an almost
certain index of the day. From it we gath
er the courage and patience that are to help
us through coming tasks and trials, or we
there begin the fretfulness and irritation
that will make difficulties still harder and
perpleXities still more trying. There are
misguided people who choose this hour as
the proper season in which to recount all
their woes. The restless night is described
and bemoaned; every ache and pain are set
forth with all the minuteuess of diagno-
sis The paper is read, and the battles, muir
ders and sudden deaths therein recorded are
served up with the toast and coffee.
The boy who rises in an i'll temper is per-
mtted to vent it in complaints of the food
set before him, nothing of which suits him,
no matter how dainty or appetizing it may
be. His sister INDUCES in like naughtiness,
and reproof and reprimand embitter the
morning which is scarcely begun. Every
thing in this life is, to IA greater or less de-
gree, habit. Dwelling and dlating upon
ones inirmties, reading and relating hor-
rors and casualties, complaining, fretting-
all these are habits and habits only.
Parents can insist upon courtesy and
self control and can exact it, and 10y set
ting worthy example can see in their
children the reflection of their own moods.

The "ope dress and wear it" plan, though
IN some respects good one, is not by any
means the most truly economical. For in
stance, there Is no saving in wearing ones
Street gown during the hours at home 1t is
better after the visit or shopping eXpadi-
ton, both for comfort and economy, to eX-
change the toilet that is dusty for clean
robe. 1t is scarcely possible to come in
| rom an excursion of any kind in dainty
order, so in the interest of her personal
! charms woman should get rid of her
street costume as soon as may be after she
arrives ut home. The garment should be
thoroughly busted, shaken, pressed and
hung upon hook in a closet. Occasionally
louch the soiled spots with benzine and ex-
anime the seams for broken stitches. Never
wear wooden gown in the kitchen. 1t re-
tains odors aud smoke and soon becomes
offensive as well as shabby. 1t is IA saving
In the end to have fair and Indictment
weather costumes straight through. Even
! macintosh is not an adequate protection
against the ravages of storms OF rain or

,an possibly be managed 1t will be money
n the pocket to do so.
1t is the same with shoes. It's pity to
wear the fair weather walking footgear
Through mud and slush and rain, for wet

ured and it has lost double weight in wear

servceable plain pair Of shoes on hand for
this kind Of spelling" reserving the bet
ter pairs for kinder weather. Even for fair
weather it is by far the best economy to
have several pairs of shoes at time, wear
ing them alternately. When not in use
they should be stuffed with soft paper and
covered from the dust. 1t is needless to say
that shoes should be carefully looked to as

Rain ruins kid gloves. No matter what
price you pay for them or how superior the
quality, dampness will make them lose
shape and break. This theory of saving
blso applies to sufficient number of un-
dergarments for various necessities of wear.
1t is the same, too, with pocket handker-
chiefs, fichus and the small accessories of
the toilet. AS for hats, a small shower will

There is an increased interest, rs greater
production, of dadoes and friezes. This is
an age of economy. People think more for
themselves than they used to. decorator
must know more because his customer is
better educated. A buyer asks for dado
nowadays with n view to covering up the
worn spots upon the wall or stairway. Ten
years ago she would have 4 'sitated to do
this, for the wall paper de,,,cr would have
looked upon her disgustedly.
A room is now freshened by n new frieze
or some other accessory, and it is no longer
essential that the entire room shall be
treated unless the entire room needs 1t. 1t
is folly to frown down this growing GUS
tom, and the dealer who refuses to patch
up an apartment simply stands in his own
light. From a dollar and cents point Of
view, it is preferable to decorate the entire
apartment, but on the principle that half a

better than no sales at all.-Philadelphia

Girls of Thirty.

The postponing of marriage and the
broader education of women has brought
into existence class that did not formerly
exist-namely, the class of girls between
Is and 80, They are bright, educated, ca
pable women, who are awaiting marriage,
and instead Of being given an interest in
life and provided with something TO do
they are launched into society with the idea
that the proper thing for them TO DO is to
abandon themselves TO the pursuit of pleas
ure One result of this is that we have
women after marriage taking very unkind-
ly TO the necessary slowness Of domestic
duties, They live for thrills, sensations
and excitements. AS these cannot be OBJ
tanned at home they resort to expedients
