FAMILY COOPERATION.

What . Guest Had to Say About Her En-
tertainers.
A lady returned from a long and
pleasant visit wrote to one of her late
entertainers: Each of you singly has
some special charm. United you are
irresistible.
Another lady returning from visit
to another family remarked to an init
mate friend who knew all the members
and circumstances of the latter family:
each one of the Blanks, taken sepa-
rately, has good and even charming
qualities, but taken together they are
dreadful. l shall never visit there
again"
The difference between the two fam
lilies lay in the fact that, whereas the
members of the first all worked united
ly to-make their guests visit pleasant
one, those of the other worked for the
same end confictingly.
In the first family 1--WE will call them
the Harmonies for convenience there
were nine individuals, of three genera
tions, comprising grandmother, her
widowed daughter, with her son. about
sixteen years old, and daughter of four
teen, bachelor son Of the old lady and
a married daughter with her young
child and husband, and the last mem
toned niece, young lady of about
eighteen years.
Here, one might imagine, were some
of the elements of the discord ready to
hand. A mother-in-law, son-in-law,
a sister-in-law, brother-in-law
cousins, uncle, aunts, and aunts and
cousins by courtesy only. Less diverse
elements than these have been found
troublesome in other cases But this
family very clearly found out that
harmony was by no means monotony.
If false note were at any time struck,
all were by common, though tacit,
consent agreed that it should not Be
struck again. Each member of this
household knew the best point of all
the others, and all were united in their
efforts to bring out the best and ignore
the rest a. far IS possible; and it is IS
tonishing how far this is possible when
the effort is made. There were no di-
vided interests. II there was any sell
fishness, it was of that enlarged kind
which may almost pass for unselfish-
ness. It was so broad that 1t covered
the entire family, ard each was for
all' in way that certainly produced
very desirable results -Harper's Ba-
gar.

WHERE SHE MADE HER MISTAKE.
An Interesting Side Remark That Escaped

An Interesting Side Remark That Escaped
Attention.
It is amusing to see how thoroughly
a Frenchwoman is natural match
maker, and how she supposes that the
search for 'sbon parti'' must ever be
uppermost in the mind of properly
regulated young woman. At dinner
in Paris, given by hostess noted for
tact and elaborate entertainments, the
pretty woman, conveying tall, awk-
ward youth, fluttered up to an Ameri-
can girl, saying: "Allow me to pre-
sent Monsieur N, Miss X; he is to

table Miss x. discovered her escort to be
decidedly uninteresting, while her 9th

herself throughout the dinner, continu-
ing the conversation afterward in the
drawing-room, where the neglected
Crnsus promptly deserted her.

dinner call, the American girl remark

Tie Was Sent Amer his Masters Cola and
He brought IL Back Home.


He brought IL Back Home
One day when a Paris tradesman was
walking on the Boulevard St. Antoine
with a friend he offered TO lay a wager
with the latter that if he were TO hide a
6-livre piece in the dust his dog would
discover It and bring it to him.
The wager was accepted. and the coin
secreted after being carefully marked.
When the two friends had proceeded
some distance from the spot the trades
man called TO his dog that he had lost
something and ordered him TO seek for
IL. CaBiche Immediately turned back.
while his master and his companion pur-
sued their walk 10 the Rue ST. Denis
Meanwhile traveller, who happened
just then 10 be returning in a small
chaise from Vincennes, perceived the
piece Of money, which his horse had
kicked from its hiding place.
He alighted. took it up and drove TO
his inn IN the Rue Pont-aux-C Chaux.
Caniche had just reached the spot in
quest of the piece when the stranger
picked it up. He followed the chaise.
went into the inn and stuck close to tho
traveller. Having scented out the coin
which he had been ordered 70 bring back
in the pocket Of the latter he leaped mp
necessarily at and about him. The
traveller. supposing him TO be some dog
that had been lost or left behind by his
master, regarded his movement as marks
Of fondness. and as the animal was hand
some he determined TO keep him. He
gave him good supper, and on retiring
to bed took him with him to his chamber.
No sooner had he pulled off his trou-
sers than they were seized by the dog.
The owner thinking that the dog wanted
10 play with them, took them away
again. The animal began TO bark at the
door, which the traveller opened. Caniche
snatched up the trousers and of he few.
The traveller posted after him in his
dressing gown. Anxiety for the fate Of
a parse full of gold napoleons, Of forty
francs each, which was in one of his
pockets, gave double velocity TO his
steps. Caniche ran at full speed TO his
masters house, where the stranger ar
rived few moments afterward breath
less and enraged. He accused the dog
of robbing hnn.
''Sir," said the master, ''my dog is a
faithful creature, and if he has run away
with your trousers il is because you have
in them money which does not belong
to you" The traveller became still more
exaspeTated. Compose yourself, sir"
rejoined the other smiling; without
doubt there is in your purse a 6-livre
piece, with such and such marks. which
you picked up ON the Boulevard St. An
tome, and which 1 threw down there
with the firm conviction that the dog
would bring it back again. This is the
cause Of the robbery which he has com
mitted upon you"
The strangers rage now yielded to as
tonishment. He delivered the 6-livre
piece which he had deposited in the
purse and complimented the dog which
had occasioned him so much uneasiness
and such an unpleasant chase. New
