while women possessed little more than

true nDurishmeut we are now passing to
the study of true sanitation, as embodied
in the knowledge of heating. lighting
and ventilation. and from this knOwl-
edge on to the higher ethics of the close
relation between morality and sound
living in a healthy environment, with
proper food and clothing. 1t is an inter-

of the abstruse theories or dead and for

1t is the unexpected which always
happens with children, as everybody
knows. A little boy Of e, taken to visit
in a household where there had been no
children for a long time, taxed his enter
tainers in the effort to amuse him.
Books, pictures, ar opera glass, a pussy
and more presumably attractive things
were brought ont, to be soon discarded,
the child meanwhile keeping a f~asciua-
ting eye upon an ear trumpet which the
deafness eff a member Of the family re-
quired. Finally, he crept to his mother
and. with his gaze still on the object of
his interest, asked: Mamma, the next
time Mrs. Blank has to be wound up
may l do it? 1.-THE CONSERVATION of the
boys mother was not shared by her
hosts, and on its being repeated TO the
owner of the trumpet she promptly
yielded the tempting stretch of flexible
pipe to her mall guest. From that mo-
ment his happiness was ~undoubted. In
his hands the trumpet became a tele-
phone, a fire horn and a half-dozen
other delightful things, and ii was with
reluctance that he relinquished it when
the visit was done.
An interesting anecdote Of the late
Mrs. Lydia Maria Child is told by the
daughter OF Mrs. Lyman, the lady to
whom Mrs. Child addressed her re-
marks. Mr.. Child was one of the geniuses
who have soarings after the infinite

achieving, having schemes for paving
off the national debt, but never paying

family, but somehow excluding his own
family" Mrs. Lyman said: well, Mrs.
Child, what is the latest thing that your
husband is doing?" Mrs. Child replied:
He is drawing gravel for the railroad
Mrs. Lyman asked: Now. how much
do you think he is losing on the job?"
Mrs. Child replied. well, as nearly as
l can estimate it l think he is losing
~ninepence about II cents On every load
he draws" Mrs. Lyman Qoquitur):
well, Mrs. Child, If your husband is
doing anything innocent, and is only
losing ~ninepence on a load, for heavens
sake encourage him in it,"

The mother-in-law of the Mikado of
