Natures beverage.

The weary teetotaller riding along a
dusty, white-hot turnpike in Ken
lucky came to a farmhouse with a
well-sweep in the front yard and a
man sitting in the shade by the gate.

"Anno pominin a Good Woman.

A bright young American girl spent
last summer with her parents in Eng.
land. Her father was much interested
in charitable work, and visited many
institutions for the poor and aged on
the trip. Most of these buildings, par
ticularly in the provinces, have a
square piece of marble inserted in the
bricks over the front entrance, giving
the year of its building.
The little girl read many of these,
and one day said: Papa, ! thing Ammo
Domini must have been an awfully
good woman to have built all these
houses for the poor."-N. Y. Herald.

Hired to Smell.

There are many trades and profess
aions in which well developed organs
Of sense are more or less essential A
perfect sight must be possessed by tho
engine-driver and signalman; deli
cate sense of touch characterizes tho
expert typewriter and pianist, and a
sensitive palate is indispensable to the
tea faster. But it is less frequent to
hear of lucrative employment being
obtained by persons possessing an un-
usually keen sense of smell, Never
theless, the professional smeller does
exist, and performs very useful func-
tons. Any person visiting the barrel-
cleaning department Of one of our
breweries may find him busy at work

combined. The place had more than a
local reputation, on account of the ex-
cellence of its work. the smith being
especially proficient in his department,
employing the art of a veterinary sur
geon in rude but successful way.
Nor had he his equal in the country
for putting shoe on horse, the most
eractious animal submitting itself to
ais skilled hand without demonstra-
tion. Indeed, his sibilant "P-s-tw

scribable manner, acted like charm
on the most unruly equine spirit
So Steve Damer's forge was glow
ing when others were dark and
silent, and his rivals expressed their
dislike for him and his successes
in many ways. They sneered at him
for half-breed and attributed his
luck to the arts of savagery. The
smith did not care. There was only
one thing on earth for which he did
care--that was his beautiful daughter
Pauline, the stately girl who would
have graced the most refined home in
the state, but who had returned from
school with no higher ambition than to
serve in her fathers kitchen. There
was little elise to the whole abode save
the loft above, but it was as neat and
dainty as loving hands could make IL.
None of the neighboring houses had
such quaint decorations. The wings
of bright-plumaged birds crossed on
the walls. Bows and arrows tied with
strings of wampum. Moccasins of soft
skins, embroidered In rare patterns
with many-colored beads, unlike any
work done by skilled American hands.
For why? Pauline Damer was the
daughter of an Indian princess, and
inherited her right to do such work,
for her instincts were those of her
mothers picturesque people, the Tulti-
cas-, whose name means art and who
are neither nomads nor idolaters, but
a people who are pastmasters in all the
arts and industries.
When the dark-skinned young wife
of Steve Damer died, he went back to
civilization to find himself an alien
and his bright-eyed baby squaw, his
little woman, an object of impairment
curiosity.
"A marriage with a squaw is no
marriage at all in the eyes of white
law" said the good people who sustain
missions for Christianizing the Indians,
and they then signitied their willing
ness TO receive the child-barbsrian as
ward of the nation.
But Steve Damer was loyal to the
memory Of his dead wife and her people,
and refused to part with his Pauline,
or give her over even temporarily to
the despisers of her mothers race. He
did, however, send her to school,
where she was trained we'll, even to
the extent of being admired and
petted, for two reasons. One was that
she was considered sprig of nobili-
ty, however rough and rude the
branch from which she came; the other
because phenomenal sums were paid
for her expenses, and her father kept

About the Word Obsy In the Marriage
Service.

Service.
Much is said, both wise and other
wise, in reference to the obedience
which wife vows to yield to her hus-
band. Brides boast that they have
evaded the word "obey" and substi-
tuted go gay" ''say nay or some
other of similar sound, After her we'd
ding lady of this kind remarked to
Rev. 4. d. Maurice, who had performed
the ceremony, Nov, Mr.. Maurice,
call you to witness that entertain no
intention of obeying." Maurice an
swered with his sad, sweet smile: "Ah,
madam, you little know the blessed.
ness of obedience.
OF course, no one worthy of atten-
ton believes that it is wife's duty to
obey when her husband wishes her to
act contrary to the dictates of con-
science. As little is she expected to
conform to q standard of obedience and
service such as was laid down in con.

dren who were playing on the sands
together: Small boy to little girl--Do

usually be the wiser, and may most
| properly be treated as the senior part
ner in the firm. A woman may like to
have her own way, but she has little
respect for the husband who gives in
to her in everything. The ideal wife
claims the liberty of being herself and
managing the house, but she never re.
fuses loyalty to an affection which
supports and protects her. Despotism
and obedience are indeed terms that
have no meaning in matrimonial ALI
ance OF the right sort.
The word obey" had not as great
terrors for the queen when she was go
ing to be married as it has for the ''new
woman among her subjects. When
arranging about the service the arch.
bishop of Canterbury asked her majes-
ty whether it would be desirable to
omit the word ''obey," and she an
swered: 81 wish to be married as a
woman, not as queen" Some of hei
majesty's subjects are not as subject
as she was in this respect. They dc
desire to exercise sovereignty over
their husbands, and not prefer TO reign
through service. Alta negro wedding,
