An Effective Rebuke.

A short time since q party Of men
were passing an evening in an Indiana
hotel playing game OF "clinch.
Seated near by was an on locker, cal.
low youth, evidently making his frs,
trip, who at every 6ne play that was
made or good hand that wa' baId
would emit series Of osths p ,nlpbur.
Gus as Sam Jones serYp[os Ona Of
the party, portly. disni6sd man, was
manifestly annoyed ,oy the Young man,
and finally asked him to desist from
such profans comments, rsmarkiug
that it was q useless and foolish habit.
The youth replied that it was a habit
that cost no money, and he had lots Of
company. For a few seconds be re.
mained quiet, but at last broke out
again, worse than ever, as an unusually
good hand was beaten. Rising from
his chair, the dignihed gentleman said:
Young man, 1 asked you as gentle
man to desist from your profanity. By
your continuance of il I consider it 8
direct insult to me- I wish to inform
you that the name you take in vain so
glibly is that of dear friend of mins,
and an especially dear one Of my
mother as well. If another oath passes
your lips while here, I shall be
tempted to forget myself and teach
you by bodily force lesson you have
evidently failed to lsarn-rsvsrence OF
your Maker.
At these words the youth soon left

were delivered by an intelligent man
who could answer questions about
goods not on the price list. During tba
year of my membership / made a cara.
full study Of the workings of this club,
visited its cooking and training schools
for domestics, and attended its annual
meeting to hear the reports and ad.
dresses of its officers, and / came to be.
lieye that its success was owing to the
enthusiasm and fine executive ability Of
few women who had founded it and
who had ever since faithfully served il.
In 1889 it had been in existence for ff.
teen years, and had membership of $500
women, representing as many families.
It's intention was to forward :" the prac.
tical interests of the household" but
from this wide field it had selected two
points of attack. II aimed to reduce
the cost of living by furnishing goods
of the best quality and at reasonable
prices, and to provide good house ser.
vice by means of training school and
free intelligence Office. Consultation
as to housekeeping methods formed no,
part of its work. The German house.
wife needs no instruction here. She
keeps house very much as her mother
did, and those methods she learned be-
fore she was married. Centuries Of
training have had effect sven upon the
palate in Germans, and certain tastes
go with certain means. This makes
such degree of public cooking prac-
ticable as relieves the household from
all baking and from the preparation Of
all food that can be cold, or indeed hot
within certain limits. It greatly re-
duces the labor done in the house and
renders q not too exscting routine
possible. In these older countries the
art of living when considered with re-
gard to the means at disposal is a far
more perfect thing than with Us. Ac-
customed to the judieious use Of csr-
tain income in her mothers house, the
young wife, once granted the money
necessary for certain style Of living
only needs little executive ability, and
this quality is always at hand, plainly
inherited along with her old mahogany
and linen, to direct her competent SER
wants and to achieve such results in her
housekeeping as viii be highly satisfac-
tory to her family and friends.

THE FIRST TO GET THERE.

The appointment of II. Clay
Smith, of Ala bama, as United States
CONSUL and Judge of the Ameri'
can Counsulor Court for Madagas-
Car is high compliment to a wor.
thy young southern negro.
There is no young man that
stands higher in the estimation Of
the people of the south than Mr..
Smith.
Mr.. Smith was one of tho first
negro democrats to be discharged
FROM the department in this city
because he had opposed the cleo
ton OF the republican Congress
man from his district.
Notwithstanding, he has been
outspoken III defending the prlnci.
pies of the democratic party and
advocating the election of Mr..
Cleveland.
He is no doubt the only negro
democrat who had the solid sup>
port of the democatic delegation
from Alabama, and also every pub
lie official in the state which dem.
onstrates the fact that he was
popular in his state.
He left Thursday for his home
where reception will be rendered
him by the white aud coiored dem
ocrats IN his state.

ton to editor and lawyer Smith
