leaders of the party did not know what
to do. They We're unable to unite upon
any other man, and they believed that
Casimir-Perier was emphatically the
man for the emergency.
In this case they did what perhaps
none but Frenchmen, among the best
of whom filial obedience is one of the
strongest motives, would have done
They went to Casinir- Perier's mother,
induced her to come in, and begged
her to interccde with her son to change
his determination.
She listened patiently to their argu-
ments and also to her sons objections
Then she turned to him and said:
History is in my mind, and inspired
by my affection for you, declare that
your grandfather, if he were here
would tell you that, in the circum-
stances, it was your duty to stand and
to accept the mission which may be
confided to you by the congress-"
Then M. CasimirPerier gave way,
says the Youths Companion, and was
chosen to the presidency. One cannot
but admire the spirit of the mother
for although the presidency of France
is great honor, it involves at the
present epoch of dynamite bombs a
great personal risk, which the new
president deems it beneath his dignity
to rararl

FAMILY SUGGESTIONS.

NOTHING will give such polish to
glass, even the finest, as slightly
moist newspaper to wash it and dry
newspaper to give the finishing
touches.
BLANKETS and counterpanes shold
not be included in the general wash
ing. To give these articles the care
they require a special day should be
set aside for them.
A RAW egg swallowed Immediately
will generally carry fish bone down
that cannot be removed from the
throat by the utmost exertion and has
got out of the reach of the fingers.
THERE ought not to be dark room
in any human habitation. To have
too much sunlight for health is not
possible. Its intensity under exception
al circumstances can always be mod
Grated as occasion may require.
In escalloped tomatoes put a layer of
tomatoes in an earthen dish: then one
of bread crumbs, with little sugar,
butter, pepper and SALT another of to-
matoes, another of bread, until the
dish is full. Bake three-quarters of an
hour.
THE gorgeous lamp shades of scarlet,
pink, blue and yellow, an eye special
list is credited with saying, should be
confined to rooms where no reading or
sewing is done. The lamp for night
work should be shaded by porcelain
globes, preferably of white.
To CLEANSE glass bottles that have
held oil, place ashes in eac' bottle and
immerse in cold water, then heat the
water gradually until it boils; after
boiling an hour, let them remain till
cold. Then wash the bottles in soap
Suds and rinse in clear water.

years, let me say that Leo Mi. takes
pleasure in going in search of great
books in the library, some of them
weighing as much as ten pounds, and
carrying them to his working desk. To
those who say that the pope cannot
hold himself erect and is obliged to
allow himself to be carried in litter,
we can simply reply that, like all his
predecessors, Leo XIII. allows himself
to be carried in litter when he goes
to the garden. He gets into the litter
in his office. But that is simple rule
of etiquette. Every day, after once
reaching the garden, he walks for
hours at a time, supported by his cane
He walks more easily than a number of
persons of his suite. In short, Leo
XIII. walks, or at least stands up, for
four or five hours a day. Only recently
he confirmed thirty persons without
feeling the least fatigue"

The Sofa Gives Up.

The Kentucky Democrat tells the
following of a Catlettsburg gentleman
who has five daughters who are of
marriageable age, who sent his sofa to
be renovated, and the following is a
partial list of the articles which had
slipped between the back and cushion,
as counted and recorded: Forty-seven
hairpins, three mustache combs, nine
teen suspender buttons, thirteen nee
dies, thirty-tive cigarettes, eight photo
graphs, two hundred and seventeen
pins, seventy-six grains of coffee, forty
seven cloves, twenty-seven cuff but
tons, six pocket knives, fifteen poker
chips, a vial of homeopathic medicine,
thirtyfour Jumps of chewing gum,
fifty-nine toothpicks, twenty-e~ht
matches, thirty-nine collar buttons,
eleven neckties, two love letters, few
pieces of candy, two Dimes three quar-
ters and one nickel, eight buckles, five
pencils, one pen and four button hooks.

TO MOUNT PHOTOGRAPHS.
New Plan Suggested Which Should
Prove Very Popular.

A New Plan Suggested Which Should
Prove Very Popular.
Those who have skill in painting
flowers, either in oil or water colors,
can find a chance for the exercise of
their skill in mounting a photograph,
according to the plan suggested in the
accompanying illustration. If oil coll
ors are to be used, let piece of 'ac-
ademy board" be selected, upon which
a background is to be painted in bold
strokes, but little blended together.
The one from which the illustration is
taken shades from rich brown in the
lower left hand corner to light golden
brown in the upper right hand corner.
The morning glories, or other flowers,
if preferred, should be painted from
nature, if possible, using only the col
ors that will hormonize well together
and with the background. If water
colors are to be used, let a piece of
pulp board be cut of the right size and
a piece of water color paper wet and
stretched over it, the edges pasted at
the back. The mount is then ready for
decoration. After the background is
laid on perfectly fiat photograph. it.
self mounted, but preferably un-
mounted, is to be pasted to the academy

happy on the water. And that's one
reason I've tried my best to get the
lighthouse"
Miss Dady sat there, listening
dreamily to this old woman's clipper
ing, cheerful talk. She herself had
been so near the end of all things that
all else seemed of little interest to
her Life, love, youth, all had floated
away from her and left her stranded
like wreck on the shores of time.
She looked languidly up as Martha
Barstow's boat-keel grated on the
sand and that young person walked
vigorously up the beach, with the
strong, swinging footstep which be-
longs only to youth and vitality.
Mother, what do you thinll?" cheer
lily cried out Martha. "They've got
boarder at the lighthouse!"
LA, mei' cried Mrs. Barstow, with
her knitting needles suspended in mid
air. Who'd want to board at the
lighthousel Out there in the middle of
the sea, with nothin' but seafoam and
gulls to look atl'
I'm sure don't know" said Martha
Barstow. "But he was a-se tim

"How did he look?" said Mrs. Bar
stow, who possessed all the curiosity
in regard to detail that generally
actuates people in her walk of life.
Tall and thin and yellow faced"
said Martha, Like the pictures of
Don Quixote in the big book on Squire
Seeleys parlor table"
Miss Dady rose at this point and
went slowly into the house.
Il think I'll lie down a little while"
said she.
Martha came out to the cool, green
shadow of che hop vines again.
Mother" said she, 'Miss Dady amt
a-gettin much better"
No" said Mrs. Barstow, 81 don't
think she is, poor creetur."
"Do you suppose she is very poor,
mother?"
"Wal, 1 don't reckon she's got much

she'd ha' gone to Watch Hill or Bar
Harbor, or some o. them high-priced
places instead of comm to cheap
corner like this. But she's a nice,
pleasant-spoken woman, and I'm prop
er sorry for her. But amt it queer,
though, about the lighthouse people
havin' boarder?"
miss Morton was sayin, mother"
said Martha, as she broke off little
green curl from the end of the hop
vine, "that he'd lost great lawsuit
and was very poor and that his health
had suffered. That was the reason he
wanted sea air, and that was the
reason, too, that he didn't care to go
where there were lots of folks"
Up at Cliff house, where they had

and the city boarder, with her lap full
of shells, was slowly sorting them over
between her thin fingers.
Mrs. Barstow was brown and healthy
looking, with blue eyes sparkling be-
hind her spectacle glasses and smooth
bands of silver-streaked hair. The
city boarder was pale and languid,
with the bleached-out look, which one
often sees In city boarders when first
they come to the seaside.
Il wonder, now," said Mrs. Barstow,
on hospitable thoughts intent, what
you'd like for supper, Miss Dady? A
mess O soft clans, billed, or lobster2
City folks mostly likes sea food, I've
noticed. Or, if you'd fancy fried
chicken, Marthy will catch you one
when she gets back from carryin' the
mail to the lighthouse, and it won't
take no time to cook it."

BABIES BY HUNDREDS.
Visit to the Sloane Maternity Hos
pital at New York.
More Babies Are Born There Every Day
Than in Any Other Spot in the
World-The Nobiest Charity
in America.

OF all the numberless charities and
tunate in the United States, the big
Sloane Maternity hospital in New
York holds a position at once unique
and exclusively its own. More babies
see the first light of day here than are
born in the average sized town in the
same length of time year by year. Yet
SO quietly is the institution managed
that its very existence is shrouded in
something OF mystery. 1t owes its es-
tablishment to the generosity of Mrs.
Sloane, sister of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
and is supported and maintained by her.
A visit to this magnif cent charity is
an experience never to be forgotten.
1t is one of the few places in the world
where cribs holding from fourteen to
sixteen mites of humanity, ranging
from few hours to ten days in age,
can be seen, and certainly about the
only one where SO many babies are to
be seen asleep at the same moment. A
correspondent of the Kansas City Star
saw one crib in which there We're nine
little strangers, their faces all turned
in the same direction, sleeping soundly
with nine pair of little fists tightly
clinched after the manner of infants.
These Sloane hospital babies are
lucky so far as scientific attention to
their needs is concerned. From the
moment of their birth, in the white,
clean room, where the greatest mys-
terry in nature is revealed, they are
watched and cared for with scientific
regard and precision that is marvellous.
While the white-faced mother lies on
her cot, with an ANXIOUS surgeon and
gentle-faced nurse on either side to
give her every attention, another nurse
has taken the babe, and on pair of
scales has noted its weight; with sim
pie little appliance has marked it's
height, or length, rather, and with
tape has taken the measurement of
his chest, HE head and other dimen-
sions.
The baby's life, from that time until
he leaves the hospital, is as me-hodical

NINE IN A CRIB.

as can be imagined, He is taken to the
nursery, where he is dressed in
clothing provided for him, and, that
his identity may not become lost, the
name of the mother is sewn on the
sleeve of his dress, so that it is an easy
matter to avoid the predicaenent of
Buttercup, who mixed these babies
up" with such disastrous results.
The infants are not allowed to re-
main with the mothers In the wards.
but every two hours is mealtime in the
nursery, and the midgets are then car
ried out and placed in the hands of their
'mammas," as the nurses say, for nour-
isEment. They are always returned
punctually, and tucked away in their
little cribs, where they fall into dose.
Such a thing as a crying baby at the
hospital is a rarity. One of the most
wonderful features of the institution
is the submission to discipline on the
part of the little strangers. Promptly
at the expiration of two hours, how
ever, the visitor, If he watches. may
see long row of baby eyes open al
most simultaneously. 1t is lunch time
again, and they are the first to know
it. 81 can never understand" said the
head nurse, "how those little fellows
count the hours, but they seem to
know how to do it."
"And just think, added the lady Wis
itor, who was deep in the mysteries of
infant management by this time,
"those babies are tucked away at
eleven o'clock every night, and until
five o'clock in the morning are not al
lowed to disturb their mothers" She
seemed to regard it as marvellous, and
probably other mothers will agree with
her The babies, however, if they grow
restless through hunger during the
night. are fed some preparation of in
FAINT food by the ever-watchful nurses.
The hospital is fulfilling mission of
mercy the extent of which can never be
realized. 1t admits married women
preferably, but those who need it's care
are never turned away.
As soon as the expectant mother is
admitted, which Is sometimes num-
Der of days before her little one comes,
she is explicitly instructed how to act,
dress and conduct herself generally,
and is looked after as carefully as the
trained skill of the physicians and
nurses render possible.
"Iow long do the patients remain?"
repeated the nurse, in answer to n
question. well, from twelve to four
teen days after the birth of their
babies. That does not seem long, but
you must remember that these women
have the best treatment in the world,
and, as they are usually strong and
healthy, they are well able to be around
IN that length of time. We hate to see
the babies 60 and am afraid the little
things do not have the attention after
ward that we give them here. The
poor, poor babies" continued the kind
hearted nurse, little wrecks on the
sand of life, may God pity them. Their
mothers are too often victims of per-
fdy and their own trustfulness and
love. My heart aches for them. 1t is
not for us to judge their lives, which
must be hard enough after they face
the world again. at the best"
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-10-11

that had somewhat of its old sparkle.
But you will have to take your own
fortune, for l will touch no more of
it."
"On one condition." said Mortimer
Clagett, Il will accept it all-that you
are to be mine also. Edith, | am
speaking from the bottom of my heart,
! mean it all"
IF saving my life counts for any
thing" said Edith, with culver in
her voice, you have earned all that
you ask. Dear Mortimer, fate itself
has taught us that we ought not to
continue this old feud any longer"
So they sailed out of the purple sun
set glow back to the pc aceful shore
once more-baclz to hope, back to peace,
back to infinite happiness.
And" said Mrs. Barstow, exultant-
ly, IF anyone doubts this ere sea air
is good for weak lungs let 'em just
look at the way Miss Dady's picked up
since she came to Barstow's Cliff"
But Martha smiled. She was more
keen-sighted than her mother She
knew that although sea air was a
good tonic, love was better one still.

A MOTHERS INFLUENCE.


cept the French Presidency.
M. Casimir-Perier, the new president
of the French republic, whose portrait
we give, had shown himself IN his pub
lie career, very little covetous of official
honors. More than once he had sought
to avoid public employment; but his
character, his ability, his discretion
and the moderation of his opinions
marked him out for the succession to
NJ. Carnot in the emergency in which
the late presidents assassination left
the republic.
But the friends of several other men
were pressing them for the great place,
and were, to forward their chances,
making personal attacks upon NJ. Cas-
imir-Perier. He declared, therefore,
when the chiefs of the various repub-
lican groups waited upon him and
asked him TO accept the presidency at
the hands of the national assembly,
that he was not candidate, and could
not accept the honor
He was pressed to change his deter
mination, but remained steadfast The
