A Suggestion For a Nurse.

When you need a nurse, look about for
some country cousin, some minister's
daughter, some girl brought up clean and
pure and refined. Tell her you will take
her as a sister or friend at so much month,
she to share your cares and responsibilities
as far as she can and have a home and so
ciety within certain bounds. Make the
position as you want it. Define its duties,
privileges, bounds and recompense; then
find some one to fill it. And remember
that the more sensibly pleasant you make
it the higher the grade of person who will
fill it, You will say utopia" but it can
be done.
Mrs. Liver has the ideal country cousin,
working for her living and taking music
and night school work. She and Julia
accomplish the work without servant.
A washerwoman once a week is all that
is necessary, and Mrs Liver is so content
with this way that her only worry about
the matter is expressed when she says of
Julia: "Yes, she'll marry. They all do. -

Before the French Revolution.

Before the revolution the government es-
tablished warehouses at which the inhab-
itants were compelled to purchase their
stores of salt These warehouses were nu-
merous in some provinces and few in 9th
ers, but whether sufficient or insufficient
for the needs of the population they were
often situated at considerable distance
from the towns and villages, whose inhab-
itants had to trudge miles along bad roads
to buy their salt. But this was not all. 1t
was prescribed by law that the head of ev-
cry family must lay in his stock of salt not
at such times as might suit his own con-
venience, but on one stated day in the year.
Should he fail in this observance he was
fined, and he was also fined II he purchased
a smaller quantity than the law prescribed.
His hardships did not stop even there.
On making his annual purchase he had
to state the different purposes for which he
intended to use the salt during the ensuing
year, and in the event of his being discov-
cred sailing his soup instead of his pork ac-
cording to his statement or his pork in
stead of his soup on the day he had named
he was also liable to a fine. His kitchen
was never secure from the intrusion of the
inspecting officer, and woe to the housewife
who was detected in any petty infraction Of
this law.-Nineteenth Century.

wedding Presents In several Countries.

! "Giving wedding presents is an old Gus
tom" said Albert FARMLAND, a Maine jew
eler, "but the custom differs in different
countries. Seotland's penny weddings were
peculiar, They We're called penny affairs
but the invited guests contributed shillings
and occasionally a half crown, and out of
the sums thus collected the expenses of the
wedding feast were paid Germany has a
pay wedding at which the bride receives
her guests with a basin before her, in which
each person entering deposits jewel, a sill
yer spoon or a piece of money In some
parts of Germany the rule is that the ex-
penses of the marriage feast shall be met
by each guest paying for what he eats and
drinks-a sort Of European plan wedding,
you might call it,
:" The prices paid for dishes and drinks
are high, and the happy young couple make
n handsome profit out of their wedding,
often realizing a sum sufficient to start
them pretty nicely in life Often 800 guests
are present at such wedding Sometimes
the flow of presents is in the other direc-
ton. In Poland, for instance, girl is not
regarded eligible for marriage until she has
wrought with her own hands cloth and
garments for the friends who will accom-
many her future lord to the altar. But in
most countries the wedding present system
is similar to that which is familiar here
and which has become a serious tax."-St.
Louis Globe-DemoCrat.

We Only Know She Sailed Away

The disappearance of the great White
Star twin screw freight steamer Naronic
will probably remain as the ocean mys-
terry of 1893. She is at last given up en-
tirely, and the insurance companies are
paying their policies on her cargo. Not
in years has a large ocean steamer
dropped from human knowledge like
that-never before steamer SO powerful
and perfectly fitted to endure all wealth
ers, as was supposed. The Naronic was
one of the strongest steamers ever built.
She was of steel, with three decks, and
two engines working Independently, so
that If one was disabled the other could
alone bring her into port. Passenger
steamers are not so stanch in build as
the Naronic was, for she was constructed
especially to bear a great weight of
freight, and it was not necessary to sac
rifce any considerations of safety to
speed. She was fitted for the live stock
trade especially and carried 1850 head of
cattle. These she took across the water
to England, returning with a load Of
1000 tons of freight.
At the time she disappeared she was
on her way to this side with 10 men on
board. She could easily have held five
such vessels as those in which Columbus
and his men crossed the ocean, yet this
mighty ship has disappeared as utterly
as If she had been phantom ship exist
ing only in imagination. 1t is not likely
now that any trace of her will ever be
found beyond the two lifeboats floating
bottom upward, telling in that simple
fact a story seldom equaled in tragedy
and pathos. Did the Naronic strike an
iceberg and go DOWN Did she founder
in the heavy waves2 Did she come in
collision with another vessel, and did both
sink with all on boarda When shall we

An Aid to Find Ones Hat.

We have all seen men standing in per
plexity before the hat stand gazing dis
tractedly into hat, trying it on, and then
replacing it on the hook with a murmur of
mo, this is not mine," and repeating the
operation helplessly until the familiar COW
ering was found. Black felt hats do look
very much alike, so to enable the owner to
distinguish his own at a glance some clever
person has invented silver hat plate
This is a strip of the precious metal about
two inches long, more or less ornamented
and with space in the middle where the
name can be engraved. 1t has two SHARP
points at either end, one set pivoted in q
very ingenious way, by means of which ii
can be fastened to the leather lining of the
hat, and easily removed when it is neces
sary to transfer it to a new one.-Harper'

Hawaii.

The absolute change of policy in the
administration of this government is no
where more marked than in the hauling
down of the American flag from over
Hawaii. From Jan. II to April l it
floated there in triumph and glory. Had
Harrison remained president, Hawaii,
for better or for worse, might now have
been United States territory. Commits
sioner Blount has proved that he could
keep secret at any rate, for nobody
knew he had orders from President
Cleveland to order down the American
flag.
Commissioner Blount appears to be
President Cleveland's political Satolli,
not an apostolic legate precisely, but a
presidential legate. President Cleveland
writes of Mr.. Blount:
have made choice of James II. Blount, one
of our distinguished citizens, as my special
commissioner to visit the Hawaiian Islands to
make a report to me concerning the present
status of affairs in that country. He is well
informed of our sincere desire to cultivate and
maintain to the fullest extent the friendship
which has so long existed between the two
countries, and in all matters affecting rela-
tons with the government Of the Hawaiian
Islands his authority is paramount.
We have the assurance of Mr.. Blount
that no other nation will be permitted
to take possession of the islands. But it
will be now more difficult to prevent
this than it was before. Blaine, then
secretary of state, wrote Dec. 1, 1881,
that the possession of the Hawaiian Is
lands was in the range of questions of a
purely American policy, and that if ever
there came a time when Hawaii would
no longer be able to maintain her own
neutrality 'this government would then
unhesitatingly meet the altered situation
by seeking an avowedly American solu-
ton for the grave issues presented"

There has been considerable talk lately
about whether men should give up their
seats in street car to women. In the
west there is no question, western gal
lantry never hesitating about what is
the proper thing to do. But in the older
states where there are so many women,
likewise so many men; it is asked why
man should keep bobbing up and down
every minute he is aboard a street car.
The best known rules of street car Ell
quette dictate middle course. A boy
should always surrender his seat to
grown woman. 1t tends to check some
what that unwhipped savagery which is
rampant in the breast of the average
male youth and to give him an idea Of
polish and courtesy in his manner to-
ward ladies' besides. A man should give
his place to old and feeble women and
women carrying babies or bundles, and
always to washerwoman or scrub
woman going home from work. Out
side of these instances it is rather a COM
pliment to the healthy, wide awaken
an to know that man thinks she has
brain and muscle enough to stand a few
blocks or miles, as the case may be.
Business women who go daily to their
tasks look on the matter in this light.

Taking a Case Out of Court.

Judges do not interfere with the trial of
cases, as a rule, though it is sometimes hard
work for them to refrain, especially when
they see a lawyer injuring his client by mis-
managing his case. Sometimes they help
him out in the interests of justice, but or
dinarily they allow the case to go on. re-
call an important case which was begun be-
fore one of our courts awhile ago. 1t was
complicated with techicalities, and aproper
decision involved knowledge of business
methods which the ordinary juryman was
not likely to have The trial proceeded a
little while, when the judge stopped it,
called both counsel to him and said: This
case can't be properly tried here. Let me
take it from the jury, and l will refer it to
three business men, who shall hear it and
decide it." Both lawyers assented, and it
was disposed of in that way.-Boston Globe.

HIGHER ELEMENTS OF GROWTH

While on his recent visit to Belling-
ham bay, Mr.. d. o. Mills expressed
himself as highly gratified over the inn
provements which had occurred since
his preceding visit, one Of the most inn
portant elements of growth, in his esti-
nation, beng that of the city's public
library, with which he was so pleased
as to make voluntary contribution OF
two hundred and fifty dollars towards
its success 1t will be remembered that
the building at present occupied by the
library was specially built for that pur-
pose by Mr.. p. b. Cornwall and do
mated free for a period of ten years,
thus giving the enterprise an excellent
opportunity to get well upon its feet
and broaden its field Of usefulness.
1t is fact worthy of notice that
when wealthy men determine to make
contributions to the growth and pros
perity of city, they generally select as
the object Of their aid some institution
which looks towards the moral or in
tellectual, rather 'than the material,
welfare of the people, the presumption
being that the elevation of the moral
and Intellectual habits of a community
will enable it the better to look after
and build up its own material wealth,
and at the same time prove an extra
incentive to the advent of higher and
more desirable class of investors and
home seekers.
1t is with such objects in view that
the effort is being made to found the
University of Fairhaven on Belling-
ham bay. The time will come when
those who reside on the Bay, as well as
those who visit us, will look upon the
university as one of our most important
and valuable possessions, and when
each one who has made contribution
towards its success will look upon his
gift as one of the wisest and best invest
ments of his life-one which will bring
a return in patriotic pride and satisfac-
ton equal, if not superior, to that
awakened by the more material ele-
ments of growth which the Bay cities
must eventually enjoy. There can be
no question but that the future SUI
premacy of the Bay cities will depend
upon the development of their material
and commercial resources, and that
just at present the revival of business
about every branch of trade is the thing
to be desired above all else; but the de-
preston in business circles cannot pos
sibly last so very much longer, and
with the turn in the tide and the in
creased growth in population resulting
therefrom, will arise the question as to
facilities for higher instruction and the
means of educating the growing boys
and girls without the necessity of send
ing them elsewhere for what can be
furnished here at home better than at
any other point of the Pacific North.
