CRUEL FRIENDS.
How Dear and Loving Woman Tried
Mothers Patience.


In no respect are the friends outside
thesanctuary Of home crueler than in act
ing upon the conviction that what Mrs.
Stowe defines as terms of undress init
macy" with us justifes them in parcel
ling out our time to suit their conven-
fence and pleasure. Women are most
unconscionable in this species Of torture.
Men have been slaves to business for so
many centuries that the masculine guest
or neighbor, albeit a favorite crony, has
q glimmering appreciation Of the fact
that his associates must have time in
which TO earn a living. The cruelest Of
friends is the woman who does nothing
in particular and at no particular time
and is 80 fond Of you, who have a spe-
cifc occupation and set hours for carry
ing it on, that she cannot be happy away
from you and finds the day savorless
which has not been salted by a comfort
able talk between you and herself.
A very fiend Of affectionate barbarity
was a rich and idle woman who chose
as her bosom friend the busy wife of a
city clergyman and the mother Of five
children. OF these children she was also
the governess until the boys were ready
for the college preparatory school and
sent her three girls from tho family
schoolroom TO Smith and Vassar. She
judged rightly that she would lay the
foundation rudiments Of thorough schol-
arship moro conscientiously than hired
instructors and enjoyed the noble task.
Her husbands parishioners were cog
infant Of her expressed desire that that
part Of tho day lying between o and
/ o'clock should be devoted TO her pupils,
and, to the credit Of those who did not
aspire TO tho honor of such intimacy at
the rectory as might warrant reversal of
household arrangements, itmay be stated
that her eccentricity in this regard was
generally respected.
The wealthiest vestryman's wife, by
virtue Of her peculiar attachment TO the
industrious housemother, spurned regu-
lations not of her own making and de-
clared her independence by word and
deed. The rectors wife loved her for her
many excellent qualities and valued her
answering esteem. / think, neverthe-
less, that Mephistopheles would have
been more welcome apparition than
the smiling visage that presented itself
twice or thrice each week at the study

but was actually furnishing for a
glimpse Of you I'll just sit over here in
the corner with my fancy work and new

ears. The children don't mind the pres
ence of mammals dearest friend"
The children did mind, and mamma
more than they, an intruder who dis
tracted eyes and thoughts and embar-
rassed recitations none the less for the
frequency of the visitation. A gravel

of the daily walk to which the flesh is

Tho Angler Of the Seine.

The old type Of angler, according to

trary, loquacious, closely observant Of
everything but his fly and line and care
lessly amiabls. Who would have dared

were mostly dace, carp, barbels and

Prior Dinlomat.

Prior had several qualifications for
diplomatic work. Though he must some
times have been hampered by his hum
BILE origin, he never failed to maintaih
the dignity of his official position. His
special knowledge Of commerce, his
readiness, his humor, his fuency in
French, his familiarity with Horace "a
useful accomplishment in the Augustan
age) and even zee visage de bois, as Boil
ingbrolSe called it, must often have been
of service to him. But Prior's life when
he had the honor Of representing Queen
Anne at the French court was not happy.
His letters during that period show that
he was uneasy about the prospects of his
party and felt his own position to be in
secure.
In those days, moreover, the British
government was not a good paymaster;
generals had sometimes to find money
from their own pockets to pay their sol
diers, and ambassadors salaries were
often in arrear. When the crash came.
Prior found himself in an unfortunate
plight. He was looked coldly ON both by
the new administration and by his own
party. 1t was stated that he had made
revelations, and it was even supposed
that his indiscretion was the cause Of
Bolingbroke's i'll judged fight. For this
malicious report there is, so far as we
know, no trustworthy foundation. Lon

A Woman sunerIntendent.

The momentous question whether it
should be a lady superintendent or wom-
an superintendent has been decided by
the trustees of the normal college. The
executive committee had recommended
that the bylaws of the college be amend
ed by designating one Of the professors
woman superintendent.
Commissioner Lummis said he pre-
forred lady superintendent. While there
was no doubt that woman superintend-
ent was correct, still he thought the term
was not generally applied in institutions
of as much dignity as the normal col
lege He made an amendment that lady
be inserted instead of woman.
Commissioner Hubbell said woman
was better form than lady. Mr.. Lum-
mis- withdrew his amendment, and it is
now woman superintendent.-New York

send tramps and paupers there with
notes saying, Mr.. B., give this man a

The applicants get the stuff because tho
grocer wants to retain the custom Of
those who send them and who have not

Those that were first manufactured in

as hangings of the costlier material were
employed-namely, tofill spaces between
obvious structural lines-and so applied
no objection could be made to their use.
On the contrary. the invention brought
it within the means Of almost every
householder TO fill blank wall spaces
