A Little Dull

A lady from Buffalo, says Harper's
Bazar, had quite an experience in a
large Berlin hotel. She was doing"
the continent alone with her two chil.
dren, without being able to speak
word of any language except her ma
tive tongue. One night, having re-
tired early with, the little ones, she
was suddenly awakened by peculiar
noise, which she soon became con-
vinced was caused by some one trying
to open tho door between her room and
the one adjoining. She got up quick
ly, turned on the electric light, and
rang the bell. The sound at the door
ceased suddenly. and after slight de-
lay man appeared to answer the bell.
"Speak English?" (the usual question:.
II shpcaks heem . leetlc," was the
reply. "There Is some one in the next
room trying TO open myrdoor," excit-
edly. mo; he is out" positively.
"But there Is some ono there-a robber,
. burglar-don't you underestimate
"ue Is oudH He viii be cen at halluf-
past zwelf." "No-a robbevi burglar! Q
Mief-a MieE l tell you-a thter In the

Dangers Of Summer Resort Filtration
and Iudiscriminate Introducti0ns.

Dangers Of Summer Resort Filrtations
and Intliscriminate Introductions.
Well qualified by years of intelligent
observation of a wide scope, enhanced
by special opportunities for seeing, a
very estimable woman--liberal minded,
mt that--of this city, gave utterancc to
the following:
"For the month now at hand the
chief amusement, not to say occupa-
ton, of the young people ut the sum
mer resorts will be flirting. Dancing
and driving, bathing and boating, cro.
quet and bowling. and cards-all these
will have their dcvotees and receive
due attention, but the business OF the
season to which all these other cccu-
pations shall be subservicnt, Is the old
new game of playing ut love, forever
SO pleasing and amusing. Now and
then, perhaps, there will be n touch
of the real article-a genuine heart,
warm and living, among the imitation
hearts of ice, which may find its
like, or thaw the ice. or, perhaps, be
itself frozen-who knows? Few men
care to marry the summer resort girl,
or, the girl they meet at the average
summer resort. They see so much
froth that it makes them disbelieve in
the wine. So much deception causes
doubt everywhere.
"On the other hand, men know to
what extent nnaneuvering mammas
lead their daughters, season after sea-
son, to the sacrifice. Matches made ut
watering places are seldom safe, and
guardians and parents will be wise to
keep watchful eye on their charges
and to inquire into the character and
antecedents of the nice young men.
whom ward or daughter scrapes ac-
quaintance with in the surf. The con.
venient code which provides that such
acquaintances are only for the season
allows much latitude, and often, very
often, covers doubtful personages with
married women or with single ones,
wise in the ways of the world. Gam
blers and fortune-hunters have NO
cloven hoof which can not be hidden
by the conventional patentleather
boot.
"Because man waltses or swims
we'll, shall he, without ouher passport,
dance or swim with any daughter, any
woman? Shall Mr.. Smiths ;ntroduc.
ton suffice fer Mr.. Jones, when ali
known of Mr.. Smith i; that he wears a
good coat, boards at good hotel and
drives pretty team. 1t tmight be con.
venient if the custom common among
some German peasants were intro
duced with us, the custom Of indicating
the dowry of each maiden by the
stripes on her bodice. But possibly
that is too much to ask of congress in
u land where heiresses are In the
minority. So the desiring young man
who wishes to endow fortune with
his heart and hand must take his
chances, and when the bitter is bit,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lammie have no cause to
complain if they do not receive much
sympathy."-Chicago Tribune.

I eIothe.'s WAY.

When the Rev. Horace Bushnell was
q boy. he was very DESTROYS of knowing
something about music. No one in the
family could teach him, however. and
his mother, with that divine patience
and insight which belong to mothers in
general, found that if the lad was to
have his wish at all it must be through
her. She obtained a book and soon
taught him all she knew-the scale, the
keynote and how to find it, and the time
of the notes.
This was only '.book learning" how
ever, and the question was to adapt it
to the use of the voice. Little Horace
wanted to sing by note. and that his
mother could not teach him. She could
sing by ear. however. and the two hit
upon Il species of reverse process. The
mother sang familiar tunes, and the boy
watched the notes. observing how the
intervals and time ran along, and. as he
expressed it. soon began almost to sing
with u.s..
And from singing airs they knew into
notes that bort no meaning they finally
learned to sing airs they did not know
ont Of similar notation. The method
had been unlocked, and further progress
was easy. The mothers heart had found
ont the way.-Youth's Companion.
