II Seemed Lively Enough TO the Editor,

TO be sure. the preacher and the groom
got into row because the divine wanted his
pay in advance; but that is a common occur
renee. The Rev. Mr.. Harps is too old bird
to take any chances.

chased Of builders. and the sawduSt either
from the mill or perhaps friendly liyeryman,
a barrel costing about 10 cents. The rest of
the outfit will amount TO about 80 cents,
making n mighty small outlay in comparison
to the amusement it affords. All sorts OF
games can be played with these, and a boy
OF ten years old will not refuse to be enter
tanned by them.
A coasting slide is another pastime. Bank
up and level of as much snow rs necessary,
with an incline at both ends. slighfer at one
than the other Sleds, of course, are the best
fun, but IL water be thrown on till the slide is
slippery, smooth board. or even a cobbie
stone, will shoot down just as well. II the
yard is large enough, an ice pond is another
source OF pleasure, that even "grown-up"
children will not desplse. This is made very
simply by throwing water every night in one
spot allowing Ii to freeze solid before using.
One eminent college professor, now dead,
kept his brood in the yard every suitable day
by Just such a device.
The outdoor habiliments OF all children,
both young and old, should be selected for
warmth and lightness of weight. BundliBg
up not only prevents free usage of limbs, but
also impedes he circulation of the blood and
makes the child an easy prey to cold. Tod
dlers should have stout shoes, overshoes.
drawn leggings, pea-jacket, mittens. cap, and
veil besides their ordinary house clothes.
Older children will do quite well in rubber
boots, pea-jacket. mittens, and cap. A pea
jacket is preferable to any other style of coat,
being just as warm, but much less clumsy.
Children all like free use of their legs.
If the house has an empty room, turn it over
to the children. Have 10 pictures on the
wall nor any furniture that is of the slightest
value. The windows should be screened by
wire netting and if near the floor, protected
by iron bars without so that there is no dan
ger of falling out If the floor shows wide
cracks, have the children patty them up.
The stove, if one is needed, must also be
screened. to prevent the slightest possibility
of fire. Any decorations the children want
to make should be allowed, provided they
furnish them with their own money. or in
genuity. 1t gives them sense of ownership
they can att IN in no other way.
Here all the rough and tumble games not
permissible in the nursery can be played. The
floor. IL even, can be used for roller skating
and croquet. while base and football. circus,
and tag can be played with impunity. A tool
chest and scroll saw will while away many
rainy days, and neap of sawdust will keep
even the baby in Elysium. Make the chill
dren themselves keep the room tidy. and
while not insisting on the order that reigns
in the nursery, yet see that utter choas is
avoided.
With so many counter attractions displayed
by saloons and like places the first desire of
every parent should be to keep her children
home. The only way it can be done /, to fur
nish pastimes that SO draw them to the SIM
pie home life that no place in after years will
ever be able to compete with it. At no time
does foresight so repay as In childhood.

The Improving American Girl.

Outdoor life. delight in action, the spirit of
sport, have taken hold of American woman
hood. Girls of strong physique, erect car
riage, and energetic spirit, deiighting in ten
mis-. riding, boating, walking, are now the
rule; the feeble. indoor donothing sthe ex-
ception, and the result Is a tall, vigorous race,
with free steps and cheeks aglow with the
ruddy color OF physical health and energy
Walk along the avenues of any large city at
the fashionable hours and the procession of
bright, animated girihood which passes be-
fore ones eyes give ample proof of summer
activity. All over the country, where there
are men and money to start club and create
a sporting interest, the woman also have
their share OF advantages, and in not few
cases their fair share also of the work OF set
ting the organizations on foot There are
few country clubs. hunt clubs, tennis clubs,
or other sporting clubs throughout the Union
which have not lady membership.

Wanted the Hugging Power Saved.

At the siege of Petersburg young Con-
federate lieutenant. who WAS very good look
ing and great favorite with the girls, was
badly wounded in the left arm Several of
the surgeons declared that it would be neces-
sary to arnputate the limb, but it was finally
decided that by removing a saction of the
bone the arm might be saved '.But," said
one OF the surgeons. ''it will be bad job, and
when healed the arm will remain crooked" I"
The young lieutenant, thinking that any kind
of arm was better than no arm and with a
thought for future conquests, replied: Newer
mind the crook; set it for hugging and go
ahead. Texas Siftings.

LITERARY AND MUSICAL.

She Was in Love with "Trilby" and He
with sweet Marie"
His hair was long and flowing, and it would
have been difficult to say whether he was
poet or musician, at first blush. After blush
ing several times, however, the casual OBJ
ssryer would have about concluded from the
air about him that he was musician. Some
how, the air is more distinctly defined in
music than it is in poetry, anyhow.
The young woman in the case was clearly
literary. Her hair was in a slump and her
cuffs looked as though they ought to have
the hose turned on them.
Have you,'' she asked, after they had
been talking some time. 'haye you read
'Trilbyg I"
Il beg your pardon he replied. starting
as il the name were not entirely unfamiliar.

'Tnlby?'" I"
"0h. ab. him" he hesiiated; ''well. no, l
haven't. You see, have been so very busy
learning Sweet Marie for my approaching
recital that really have not had time to read
much recently"
And the conversation happily continued.

pamaged by Being PRAYED For.

Miss Tessa 1. Kelso, librarian Of the pub
lie library of Los Angeles, CAL, has sued
Rev. ]. w. Campbell, of that city, for pray
ing for her in public. She is a most worthy
youn 6 woman, but recently incurred the en-
nifty of a few people by advising the pur-
chase Of certain books for the library. The
offensive prayer was as follows: 80 Lord,
vouchsafe Thy saving grace to the librarian
of the Los Angeles city library and cleanse
her from all sin and make her worthy of her
Office" The prayer stirred up terrific
commotion, and Miss Kelso's friends declared
it to be slanderous. So she demands $5. 900
for the defamation Of her character in public.
