good home and good wife are
essential to the happiness of every
man. There is nothing that SO surely
attaches children to parents, and
home virtues, as lifelong homestead
the memories of which increase as
years roll by.
No people in this world are so eager
for gain as the American. He will
build home for a life time residence,
and is ready to sell out the next week
after it is finished, and so he goes per-
petually swinging around the circle of
change. Thus he wears out half a
lifetime in perpetual change, and
often with morals wrecked, and con-
science scared, he settles, down too
late in life and dies among strangers.
Get home and keep it. A home is
home be it ever so homely.

BOYS IN CHINA.

A boy INDUCES in many games from
which his sister is restrained both by
her bound feet and general sentiment.
The women and girls often gather in
their doorways on summer evenings
to watch the boys at their games,-
wrestling, walking on stills, ball-play
ing, kite flying, battledore and shut
tlecock, etc. But the Chinese boy
never engages in his sports with the
zest of a Westerner; and after he en-
tiers school his teachers discourage
games as undignified.
The poor boy is sent out on the hills
to gather grass and sticks for fuel or
is apprenticed to trade. If he is
farmers boy, he finds plenty to do
about his fathers farm; and his life
contains very little playtime. He
does not work as hard as the Western
boy.
Every family that can afford it
sends one or more boys to school at
six or seven years of age, and from
the time of entering school the pupil
is being set apart from his less ia
vored brothers. He at once becomes
a gentleman. He is not expected to
engage in any manual labor or help
about the home any more; and if, af-
ter many years of schooling, he is un-
able to get an official position or
place as teacher, he will sponge on
his relatives and friends, or send out
his wife to beg or starve, rather than
work with his hands. If the boy is
bright and industrious, he may rise to
any position of power and wealth
which is within the Chinese civil SER
vice. Educated men and pure women
are the Chinaman's ideals for his sons
and daughters.

EVEN CHICAGO WAS SHOCKED.
One of Her Up to Date Girls Wore Bloom

ers of Vivid Hue.
Four Lincoln park policemen mounted
on BICYCLES chased a little scorcher in
boomers today, but instead of catching
her they landed in promiscuous heap
in Lakeview, while the girl Of the peri
cd laughingly raised her jaunty cap ALL
was lost in the labyrinth of streets that
wind out of Lake Shore drive at that
point.
All along the line the exciting race
was watched by thousands, who cheered
the pretty girl and jeered her clumsy
pursuers while the contest lasted and
burst their buttons off at it's 1udicrous
conclusion.
The girls boomers caused all the
trouble.
While Officer Mahaffy leaned against
tree he was startled by a vision of
green and gold that made his hair stand
On end with horror Not 100 feet away
rode a girl with the bloomingest bloom
ers he had ever seen.
The boomers proper were of old gold
satin and fitted almost like gloves They
came to the knees and were finished at
the bottoms with bright ribbon binding.
The leggings We're undeniably silk
stockings just shade darker than the
boomers, while the dainty feet were in
cased in tan oXfords with needle toes
and satin bows.
A green satin zouave jacket embroid-
cred with yellow silk and trimnhed with
ribbon bows of the same color but half
concealed g tan cOlored leather belt with
silver buckle and white shirt waist.
She wore Il stand up linen collar, a
negligee tie of yellow silk, which float
ed behind as she flew along, and above
all was perched little yachting cap
greener than the tree that supported Of
fcer Mahaffy when he was stunned by
the giddy costume, viOlative alike of
fashion edicts and the city ordinance
&orbidding either sex to wear the others
clothing
That dignitary quickly recovered and
gave chase on his wheel The crowd
yelled like }unatics. Three other cop
pers on bikes joined the hunt, but they
were never in it, for the girl held her
distance, and the mob wouldn't have
seen her captured anyway.
The end came in Lakeview when Off
Ger Mahaffy's forward wheel struck an
obstruction, and he went sprawling on
the drive, with his companions foun-
dering above him. At this instant the
little sinner whose naughty costume
caused the rumpus raised her cap to her
vanquished pursuers and disappeared.
The hobbies brushed themselves off and
sneaked back to Lincoln pan
on a quiet street to avoid the compl1-
ments of the crowd. Dispatch

"TWO Vice Presidents"

know of no two lives in all Ameri-
can history which have been ordered in
such sharp and instructive contrast from
beginning to ending as the lives Of these
two men. One Of them sprang from one
of the proudest and most aristocratic as
we'll as ablest and most powerful of the
ruling families of Kentucky; the other
was Of an origin SO humble and obscure
that it could hardly be traced. One Was
born at the open gate of fortune, infiu-
ence and opportunity; the other was
born in the lap of squalid want. Both
set out in life under the influence of
controlling ambition. One thirsted for
glory and power and fame; the other to
be emancipated from poverty and neg
lect.
The career of Breckenridge lay along
an even pathway lighted up from the
outset with the encouraging smiles of
influential friends and overhung with
tempting prizes, which he gathered thick
and fast at every step, while Wilson be-
gan the ascent of a steep and rugged
mountain path alone and toiled upward
without help, beset by discouragements,
confronted all the way with difficulties
and cheered by no light ahead or reward
in sight. The vice presidency came to
Breckenridge almost by force of gravity,
as ripe fruit drops into q basket ready to
receive it. It came to Wilson as tribute
to life of toll spent in the uplifting of
downtrodden humanity. A just people
has placed the cypress upon the grave of
one and the laurel on the grave of the
otter. Henry L. Dawes in Century

GEMS OF THOUGHT

We are often able because we think
we are able.
All the gestures of children are
graceful.
He that does good to another does
good also to himself
You can work out good character
faster than calumny can destroy it.
1t is not the loss itself, but the est
mate of the loss that troubles US.
The winds and the waves are always
on the side of the ablest navigators.
1t is not by the gray hair that one
knows the age of the heart.
Education is debt from the pres
ent to future generations.
There is wide difference between
true courage and mere contempt of
life.
That which renders life burdensome
to us generally arises from the abuse
of it.
The affections are like lightning;
you can not tell where they will strike
till they have fallen.
Were we as eloquent as angels, yet
we should please some people more
by listening than by talking.
Trust him little who praises all; him
less who censures all, and him least
who is Indifferent to all.
Avoid him who, for mere curiosity,
asks three questions running about a
thing that can not interest him.
There is no beautifier of complexion,
or form, or behavior, like a wish to
scatter joy and not pain around US.
Ambition is SO powerful passion
in the human breast that however
high we reach we are never satisfied.

It would seem sometimes that the
art of graceful walking might be
numbered among the lost sciences
SO few women master the accom-
plishment, or even acquire any APP
proach to perfection in this exercise
which is the foundrtion of all Others
Every one sccceeds in propelling
themselves along by means of their
feet. But that is no. true walking,
An English authority says: sThe body
should be held erect, the shoulders
down, chest extended, and the leg
moved from the hip, the whole figure
above being immoveable. The move
ment from the knee is said to be the
secret of bad walking, combined with
the discomfort of tight shoes and
high heels, witch turn the figure in a
most ungraceful manner. A short
brisk walk is beneficial, while tramp
of miles results in utter weariness."

A society for the suppression of
scandal has been formed in Insterburg,
Germany. AS a rule, similar soci-
ETY. could find abundant employment
in any modern city or town, large or
small. But as humanity is constituted
at present, would not the societies
themselves be the first ones to be con-
victed of SANDER? Those people who
are concerned about others so much
or what is said of neighbor are apt
to be nuisances themselves. Still,
SANDER and scandal are two things
any community can do without.

There is no justice in the adverse
criticism of the female bicyclist. She
sits more gracefully upon a bicycle
than upon horse, and if the riding Of
bicycle is beneficial to her health,
she has as much right to ride one as a
man. There is nothing ''mannish'' in
her doing SO, but is right she is
privileged to assert, no matter what
others may say perhaps.

Much interest attaches to the ru-
NOR which comes from London that
the Princess of Wales and her daugh-
tiers have been latley seen in public
in gowns with small sleeves and mar
row skirts. This bit of intelligence
does not necessariely clinch the
doom of the balloon sleeves and
the letter A skirts, but it will make
prudent investors wary Of locking up
much capital in those varieties. OF
course the balloon sleeves must go
presently. When fashionable moth
ers began to put them on little boys
legged night gowns it became appar-
ent it that the taste for them had
come to be an extravaganza, and
could not last. But it will be shock

If fly drops in beer glass, says a
German paper, one who has made a
study of national characteristics can
easily tell the drinkers nationality by
his action. A Spaniard pays for the
beer, leaves it on the table and goes
away without saying a word. A
Frenchman will do the same, except
that he swears while he goes. An
Englisman spills the beer and orders
another glass. A German carefully
fishes out the fly and finishes drinking
his beer as if nothing had happened.
A Russian drinks the beer with the
fly. A Chinaman fishes out the fly,
swallows it, and then throws away the
beer.

That very clever, very successful
and admirable woman, Mrs. ,Rorer.
studied and conquered many things be-
fore she learned to cook. To begin
with she had a college training at
Aurora, and, having inherited a2taste
for chemistry from her father. who
was both physician and chemist, she
wished to become a pharmacist. That
was before the way was smoothed for
women who wished to do unusual
things, and she abandoned the plan be-
cause the way was made so disagree
able by fellow-students. After that
she learned wood carving and. took a
course in carpentering, which may ac-
count for the. grace with which she
uses her hands and arms. She studied
cooking for the good of her family.
and it was with the same thought and
to build up one of her own children,
who was delicate, that she gained that
scientific knowledge that since. has
made her a benefactor to so many
other mothers.-New York Post, .>->.
