Responsible for His Mother.

a minister of a prominent New
York church, who was about to leave
home for few days, was bid ling
good-by to 1lis family, says the Boston
Budget.
When he came to Bobby he took
the little fellow in his arms and said:
well, young man, l want you to be
good boy, and be sure to take coed
care of mamma"
Bobby promised, and the father de-
parted, lea ing him with Il very large
and full appreciation of his new ahd
weighty responsibility. When night
came and he was called to say his
prayers the young guardian ex-
pressed himself as follows:
20 Lord, nlease protect papa, and
brother Dick, and sister Alice, and
aunt Mary, and all the little Jones
BOYS, and Bobby. But you needn't
trouble about mamma. for I'm going
to look after her myself.

A nut-tapping machine has been
contrived by Rhode Island inventor
which automatically presents in sue
cession mum Der OF nuts to the tap
releases them from the holding jaws
after tapping and pushes them or to
the shank of the tap and, when the
desired number of nuts has been
tapped, the machine is automatically
stopped. The apparatus is described
as having a longitudinal rotatable
tap and means for driving the same,
the combination with the table, NOV
ably supported by frame in front of
the tap, and having an arm, a spring
secured to the arm and stud on tie
forward END 6f the frame. There is a
feed box secured to the central for
ward portion of the ia Die and a
jaw block is secured in the slot
in the table below the box, the spring
operated uar carrying fingers sup
ported a a slide on the lower surface
of the ia ble; this is operated against
the spring pressure by rod plvoted to
the bar and to depending arm on the

referring to sone of the more val
liable conclusions arrived at by recent
astr nomica1 research, an English
writer argues in favor of the theory
that the stars, or many of them, are
very similar to our own sun, this
being clearly shown from three con-
sidnrations One of these is their great
intrinsic brilliancy compared with
their small apparent diameter, diam
eter SO minute that the highest powers
of the largest telescope fail to show
them as anything bat mere points of
light without measure BILE magnitude;
second, their vast distance from the
earth, a distance SO great that the
diameter of the earth's orbit dwindles
almost to point in comparison-this
also accounting satisfactorily for the
first fact; and third, the spectroscope-
that unerring instrument of research
in this teld-shows that the light
emitted by many of them is very SINH
lar to that radiated by the sun. Thus,
their chemical and physical conStitu-
tion appears analogous to that of our
central luminary. Though the spec
ira of the red stars differ much from
the solar spectrum, these objects are
comparatively rare, forming excep.
tions to the general rule.

Don't lie Xulrar.

= Vulgar women may win admira ton,
but they never win respect; before an
individual is respected she must re-
spect herself,
Vulgar women appear in public
wearing brilliant colors, brilliant
cheeks, audible perfumes jewelry, and
sensational styles.
Women who wear doll-baby tresSes
and powder their faces like clowns
may come of very good families, but
they are vulgarians.
Women who bear tales, who betray
confidence and make mischief with
their tongues are vulgarians of the
most despicab!e types.
Vulgar women walk like grenadiers;
they come down on their heels with
force enough to shake anything from
an az" road station to summer ho-
tel piazza.
Vulgar women are dang erous; they
not only corrupt good manners, but
they are bad example for the ignor-
ant and innocent, and a disturbing
element among refined people.
Vulgar women like to attract atten-
ton; they are loud in their dress and
Vallz; they can be seen and heard at a
distance, they are numerous, general
ly annoying and often offensive.
Vulgar women discuss private af-
fairs in public; their conversation is
audible to passers-by; they invite the
observation of strangers, and they are
hattered by the familiar comments of
funkies, firts, fakirs, gutter Iner-
chants and street loafers.

whal . Farmer Accom- pIIshsd.

From a farmer in Virginia some years ago received request that he might send me a package of col ored sketches of wild flowers and that l would verify or reetify his de- termination of their names
 Inquiry developed the fact that he had reached adult age as a farmer when he began to feel the need of some subject of thought and interest outside of his daily work.
 Without any scientific help or knowledge he set about collecting and naming the birds of the Shenan- doah valley. Not satisfied with stuffed specimens he conceived the idea of painting the birds he collect ed. With no artistic knowledge or instruction he ordered paints and brushes and set himself at work, and today there are very few artists in the country who can paint birds with so much of artistic grace and scientific accuracy ss he.
 After a few years. having trans ferred to paper all the birds of the region, he procured a 'Gray's Man ual" and began tn study the plants of the valley, first determining their names and then painting them. He accordingly sent on a psackage of colored sketches, artistically attract i've and so true to nature that there was not the slightest doubt as to any as the 75O species represented, while his own unassisted determinations we're so accurate that not a dozen sames needed to be altered.

Practical Charity.

A closer alliance between public and private charities must be se- cured. If the public authorities con tinue to administer outdoor relief they ought to be in constant com munication with the private agencies engaged in the same work. There is no reason why there should not be hearty cooperation between the overseers of the poor and the agents and visitors of the benevolent so- cieties. The lack of such co-opela- ton is one of the gaps through which mendicancy creeps in. Rev. Wash ington Gladden. in Century.

Givinr a Booh a Name.


 One couldn't very well make an arithmetic or a geography alluring by a title or introduce work on comic sections with a catchword, and histories and scientific books gener- ally are b t described by the plain est sort of title. It would be foolish, for instance, to send a grave account of the wars between tae Yerkists and Lancastrians out into he world as '.The White Rose and tho Red. !" It would be unfair to the patrCSs of circulating libraries, for ore thiISg,7 who would probably take the book to 0e new story by Rita or The Duchess. And yet such disnifed tcues as A Century of Conflict or 'sThe Holy Roman Empire" gain something from the splendor of their baptism. In philosophy, too. a talk ing title has sometimes oeen origi- mated. Darwin's Descent of Man. is a case in point. Schopenhauer's Die Weltals Willie and Vorstellung" is another, although it is hardly so captivating as the 'Philosophie dea Unbewusstenr of Eduard von Hart mann. Blackwood's Magazine.
