lola on Marriage.

Emile Zola, in a curious article enti-
tied "How Folks Marry" expresses ex-
treme disapproval and disgust of the
French marriage system. He contrasts
with a good deal of rough power the
different lives led after the age of 10
years old of the boys and girls who till
that time had been playmates and lead
ing practically the same existence. Aft
er this happy natural sort Of life the
paths of the brother and sister widely
diverge. The son goes TO the lycee,
which has been described as an '.inky
Styx," where some may swim, but many
drown, while the daughter is either
brought up in tender sheltered home
or sent to good educational convent,
where she is, if possible, even more pro-
tected from outside evil influences than
when under her mothers wing.
NJ. Zola makes it quite clear that he
leans to the American system of educa-
ton. 1t would be interesting to know
what course he pursues with his own
children, two bright faced little people
who were much in evidence at the mar.

A New Kind.

The two drummers were standing ny
ut the railway restaurant counter feed
ing. Pretty soon one of them, after q
slight manipulation, handed something
to the other.
"Have a Liliuokalani sandwich" he
said.
"What in thunder kind of a sandwich
is that" said the other, taking it.
"Try 1t and see."
"Come off" exclaimed the other one
as he pried it open with his knife, there's
nothing in it."
"That's why we call it the Liliuokalani
sandwich" explained the first one and
went on eating. Free Press.

The Grocer and the Pretty Girl.

She is pretty and pert, and as she en-
ters the grocery store the eyes Of the pro
prietor follow her around in silent admi
ration. She asks for celery, and while
she is trying to make up her mind as tt
whether she will take 10-cent bunch OF
q 13-cent bunch she eats nuts out Of 6
basket and throws the shells on the floor
The eyes of the proprietor still follow
her, but there is different look In theil
depth. After having nibbled at some
dates, whose stones follow the shells, she
tries some crackers, samples some cheese
and finally decides on the l0-cent bunch
of celery, which she requests the grocery
man to "send around as soon as possible.
With final grab at handful Of nutf
she makes her way out, leaving trail OF
shells, stones and cracker crumbs.
The grocer orders the boy to "sweeI
up" and spends the rest of the evening
in trying to calculate how much he lost
on that bunch Of celery.-New York

Terrible Effects of a Long
Drought on Rich LAM.

PEORIA, ILL, September 1.-THE
dry weather has continued for many
months and great damage has resulted.
Among the most peculiar eases result
ing from the drought is the burning of
farm lands about thirty miles from
here
This section was a swamp for many
years, and the heavy weeds and dense
brush decayed each season, forming a
soil of its own. Spectators bought up
this land, drained it thoroughly, and it
proved very productive the land selling
when improved, at 800 an acre.
\ few days ago farmer burned
some rubbish and the ground took fire,
burning down TO depth of about six
feet, and then spreading, eating under
the surface aud breaking through in
dense volumes OF smoke.
Farmers are doing everything To
stop the destruction of property After
the fire has burned the soil nothing will
grow.
The buildings break through the
crust after the fire has eaten under, but
do not take fire. Ii will take heavy
rains to entirely extinguish the fire,
and none seem probable The district
contains about u, 900 acres.

Teaching Children roiI.enes..

Children are too often left totally un-
instructed in those small courtesies of
everyday life which go SO far to make
our domestic and social relations har-
monious. They should be taught, al
most from infancy, to be polite. to enter
and leave room properly. TO respect
their elders. to remove their hats when
they enter house. to seat themselves
quietly instead of throwing themselves
boistereusly upon chairs or lounges, to
close doors gently and to do many other
things naturally and politely winch they
now do awkwarlly and rulely. simply
because they have never been instruc ed
otherwise.
A little time devoted each day to this
gloriously good work will surely bring
an ample return in the cnd-will, in fact,
bear good fruit from the very beginning.
since a child who is being taught to be
polite is mt the same time learning con-
sideration for others and so is cultivat-
ing unselfishness of character. In the
same way child who is encouraged to
he orderly, to do little offices for itself,
such as folding up its clothes or putting
hat or toy in its proper place, is not
only mastering one of the most valuable
of lessons. but is also saving the mother
