Twenty years ago young man mar
ried one of the smartest young ladies
anywhere round, and the young couple
seemed to start in life with every pros
pect of happiness. But the girl was am
bilious to be rich, and because she was
not was very much dissatisfied After
keeping her husband in peck Of trou-
bic for time she left him and got a
divorce. He went into bankruptcy, and
she very soon married wealthy man
and rode behind span in elegant car
riage. Today the former bankrupt is
wealthy and prosperous, has new wife
and happy home. Every comfort sur
rounds them. His wife of other days
now lives in poverty and has to scrub
for the bread she eats. Her husband s
wealth, under poor management, shrank
to worse than nothing. The roses have
gone from her cheeks and the light from
her eyes. It's as complete turn around
as one ever rsaw.-Lewiston (Me.) Jour-

A SINFUL WASTE.
Good FO'd Allowed to Decay a Feature Of
American Households.


There are few households in the land
but have n periodical recrudescence Of
economy in the matter of food supply.
A big grocer's or butchers bill imme-
diately suggests that there should be
some economy practiced somewhere.
The present activity in the field of
dietetics should spread valuable knowl-
edge into every kitchen. 1t is already
showing benefits in the matter of nutri-
tious food versus medicine
Housewives do not always realize that
they have prominent part to play in
this grave question of the day, the "dis-
posal of garbage" That responsibility
lies within the domestic threshold, and
to consign the collection of waste to the
scavengor is not the limit of her power
nor self satisfying conclusion. What she
consigns does not concern her, and this
"bete noir" found in every part of the
land, a subject fraught with almost in
surmountable difficulties to those whose
bu,iness it is to find healthful and
quick disposal of garbage, is far more
the business of the housekeeper than she
is willing to acknowledge We must go
back of the garbage can to find the cause.
American extravaganza is proverbial the
world over We provide with lavish
hand. Unskilled and Indifferent help
waste accordingly. Expenditure for food
i'll large percentage of the middle and
lower classes is estimated to take very
often fully three fourths of the income.
Actual consumption and benefit derived
from quantity supplied is notably small
in the wealthier families.
Convincing proof is found in the over
flowing garbage can. Lack Of robustness
among certain class and the amount
of debility affecting a majority of peo-
pie prove to investigators Il want of
proper nutriment to build up the over
wrought body, which must endure some
how the strain and stress of American
life and climate
The unintelliEent methods of poor
servants, nnEkilled in handling food, is
one cause of the effect. 1t is considered
their prerogative to waste what does not
suit their fancy. "Leavings" which may
be the best portions from tho mistresses'
table are not palatable to their taste, and
so good material is speedily hidden from
sight, more is called for, and haphazard
supply to keep Bridget good natured
furnishes Ecr with an abundance to
overflow ash cans, clog pipes, choke
traps, fill ccsspools, draw vermin and
offer culture as a medium for the ubiqui-
tous microbc. Noxious odors offend nos
trils and dangerous eflluvia jcopardize
health and obstruct sanitary measures
1t is just this waste in the world that
has been the cause Of plaques, pesti-
lences and diseases. 1t is wasted time,
strength, money, happiness and, too Of
ten, life. Baltimore American.

THE MERCHANTS DAUGHTER.

Her father was Il merchant bold
Who Der the wild Biscayan water
Still brought back the good red gold
To richly dover his only daughter.
Radiant she as rose on tree;
But, though full many gallant sought
her,
No, no, no! on all their woe
Frowned back the merchants daug hter.
Until, effulgent from the fight
That shook the shores from France TO
Flanders,
Shone upon her patriot sight
The kingliest OF our sea commanders
Looked her through, and from her view
Vanished smiling, on the morrow
Ahl but she her laughing glce
Forsook for signing sorrow
"Fair blows the wind; the skies are blue
Wilt sail with me- my winsomo daugh-
ter?"
"That will 1! Dear friends, adcul"
And DER the wave her sire has caught
her.
Southward far, by sun and star,
His good ship fleets the ocean over.
When, alack! across her track
There strikes Salee rover.
But as the pirate pressed them sore,
And deck and hold ran red with slaugh-
ter,
Sudden round the headland hoar
A noble warship sweeps the water.
Heavens above! tits her true love
That hath this great deliv rance wrought
her.
Grief. farewell wake, marriage bell,

Begging an Industry.

There are numbers of villages in Rus
sia in which begging is the staple indus
try. No one does anything else. 1t is
stated in the labor commission report on
that country that "nearly 5000 out of
the $500 persons in the districts Of In
Ear and Saransk are beggars," and that
the whole population of the village Of
Marinin live by means of begging. And
these are by no means isolated cases. In
many other districts precisely the same
style of things prevails.
In real beggars' village all the in
habitants, including even the starost,.
and other local dignitaries, are enrolled
In company, which is divided into
parties. These parties go out i'll turn on
begging picnics. The booty they bring
back is regarded as common property,
and the population depends upon it for
their support. Words.

The Pythagoreans held that the sea
was salt by reason of the tears shed by
Kronos. father of Zeus. According to
the old Hebraic tradition, the ocean was
originally great body of fresh water,
but which was made salt by the abun-
dant tears of the fallen angels. One sect
of Buddhists believe that Lots wife
that is to say, the pillar of SALT
which was once the wife of the humble
gentleman named above-lies at the
bottom Of the ocean in a certain narrow
strait, and that once each year the wa
ters of all oceans flow through that mar
row channel. The Talmudic writer's say
that it was never salt until Moses wept
repentance after breaking the tables Of
stone.- st. Louis Republic.

The word "cigar" is believed to come
from the Spanish cigarra, meaning a
grasshopper, and at first the significance
and propriety of the term seem ques-
tionable. But in Spanish garden was
cigarral. or the place where the grass
hopper sang. Tobacco was usually grown
in cigarral, and when the leaves were
rolled up and brought to guest the
host, specially to recommend the prod
net, was careful to state that it was
grown in his own cigarral. Thus the
word which means grasshopper came, in
modified form, to be applied to the
habitat of the grasshopper, and finally
to the cigar, whose material was grown
there.

Some peoples notions of Hodges

Could PRAY In French.

There. Is certain young man about
town today who, in the excitements and
pleasures of the life he leads now, has al
most forgotten how to say his prayers.
Many years ago, however, when he was a
cute little child with big blue eyes and
golden curls, he was famous at his pray
ers. He could even pray In French. His
mother, who was very proud of her little
True-hc rejoiccd in the unusual Chris
tian name of Truman--engaged French
nurse to look after him, and it was tho
nurse who taught the little fellow to pray
i'll French. When the proud mother was
made acquainted with the wonderful prog
ress of her boy, she was overwhelmed with
joy. When the women of her set dropped
in to call upon her, the prococious child
was trotted out to say his prayers in
French for the wonder and admiration of
the visitors. This continued for some
time, until little True grew weary of 1t.
One day he mutinied. He would not say
his prayers. His mother coaxed and threat.
ened by turns, but the little boy was OBJ
stinate, and finally driven tosdesperation
he said 81

The End OF the Civil War In Brazil.

After nearly five years of warfare Brazil
has succeeded in concluding peace with
the province OF Rio Grande du Sui. This
province has been exceedingly successful
in carrying on its rebellion against the
government at Rio Jancrio. When Con
eral Fonseca, In November of 1890, sus-
pended the constitution upon which the
United States of Brazil had been estab-
tished, Rio Grande du Sui at once declared
its independence of the Brazilian govern
ment. Its distance from the national
capital, and the rough and mountainous
character of its country, together with
the sturdy tenacity of It's people, largely
immigrants from Germany, made it
difficult task, indeed for the government
at Rio Jsneiro to subdue 1t.
Later, when Admiral Mello, with the
navy at his back, instituted his rebellion
against the Republican government of
Brazil, he had the hearty sympathy and,
to some extent, the co operation of the
insurgents at Rio Grande. The combina-
ton, however, was one that was never
able to act In concert, and, consequently.
lost in the main whatever effectiveness
might otherwise have been gained by such
union of forces. President Piexoto had
practically all the land forces of Brazil at
his back, aside from this rebeilious prov
ince, while nearly all of the naval vessels
supported the cause of Mello. While there
was common bond of sympathy between
Admiral Mello and Taveres, and the
other rebel leaders of Rio Grande in their
mutual hatred of Piexoto's government,
| there was, at the same time, the jeal-
ousies and aspirations incident to the love
ai power that constitutes SO predominant
an element of South American character
Inc TWO forces were, therefore, never fully
aoie 10 act together, and in this fact Is
