No Faith in Thermometers.

After Mrs. Willoughby had engaged her
new man-about- the-house, to do the heavy
work and look after the furnace, she
found that it was necessary to instruct
him carefully in his duties, says Harper's
Bazaar.
One of his lessons consisted in the use
of the thermometer to indicate the tenn
perature of the house. Michael knew
nothing whatever about thermometers,
and the instruction naturally took the
form of complete course, beginning with
a description of the way in which the
instrument did it's work.
You see this fine line of mercury in the
glass tube, Michael?'
"Oi do, num-
''Wel when it's warm the mercury goes
up and when it's cold the mercury goes
down. Do you understand that, Michael?"
"Oi do, num-
house as nearly as 1 can at 70 degrees,
Michael"
"Siv.nty dagrays is it, mum?''
Eyes, Michael Look at this thermom-
eter and you will see that the mercury
now just reaches 65 degrees. That shows
that the house is not warm enough, and
you must fire up the furnace little. DO
you understand"
Il do, num-
"And if the mercury goes up to 70 or so,
the house is then too warm, and you must
let the fire in the furnace slacken down
little, or let some cold outside air into
the house by opening that window in the
hall just a little way, and being careful
to close it the minute the thermometer
gets down to 20. Now do you think 1 can
trust you to look after the temperature
carefully?'
1.-The temperature, mum?"
yes; the heat and cold of the house, you
know"
"Indade you can, num-"
Mrs. Wiloughby went about her social
duties, and late in the afternoon returned
home. Her first look was at the thermom-
eter. 1t indicat ted SO degrees, and she con-
graduated herself that Michael was doing
his work well. Michael himself had mis-
giYings, however. not about the manner
of his work, but of the reliability of the
thermometer as an indicator of tempera-
ture. Mrs. Willoughby saw him go out
side and then come back and gaze at the
thermometer in the hall with a troubled
expression of countenance.
rs anything the matter, Michael?" she
asked.
Michael shook his head.
'Sure, num-" he piled, cts mesilf as
is afraid thin thermometers is no good. -
what makes you think that Michael?'
''Well, mum, thot one in the hall points
! 20 sivnity, whole the one out on the porch
says only thrty-foive. Which av them
am OF to belave?"

No one viii deny that DR.. Parkhurst
J has had great influence for good in the
city OF New York lie started the agita-
/ istence of great abuses in the govern
mont of that city, and in the selection Of
a reform mayor. But even while he was
active in that agitation it was apparent
that he was not a well balanced thinker
that at times he came perilousiy near
being a fanatic. The truth is DR.. Park
hurst lacks Judgment In other words, he
is not overburdencd with common sense.
On Thanksgiving day he preached a ser
mon that has excited a good deal of at
tention because Of some very remarkable
views he expressed. No man having a
well balanced mind could have given ut
terance to some OF the things he said.
One paragraph Of his remarkable dis
course was as follows:
IF lady goes to the store
and buys an article that she is
sure is marvelously cheap, and cannot un-
derstand how such a piece of handmade
goods can be procured at so pitiable
figure. she knows, if she knows anything
about the world she lives in and the in
dustrial conditions that prevail, that some
poor girl in some sickly back
alley has been half-paid for her
work, and she, the elegant lady go
ing shopping in her carriage, gets the
benefit Of it. This city is full of this and
so is every other city. She does not kill
the girl outright, but she helps to kill
her by inches And then, when she has
got the first wear out of those articles
that she has half-paid for and that the
sewing girl has paid the other half by her
health perhaps, and very possibly by her
virtue, she encourages herself in imagin-
ing that she is not a blood-sucSer and
murderess by joining relief or rescue
society and packing off the unavailable
portions of her wardrobe to be distributed
among the poor servant girls in the back
alley. You ladies want to think of that
sometimes when you are swarming around
a bargain counter"
If the views Dr. Parkhurst expresses are
correct the good women who flock to the
great stores on bargain days to buy arti-
cles at about half of their real worth are
murderesses if they happen to purchase at
a bargain articles which are the products
of the labor of poor, half starved men and
women. And they are not entitled to
think they have done good deeds if they
join relief societies and do what they can
to help the poor.
Does DR.. Parkhurst want women to keep
away from the bargain stores or does
he mean that they ought to pay more fot
articles than the shopkeepers ask? If
he does not mean that what does he
mean? Wouldn't it be advisable for him
to preach another sermon and tell an
anxious public just what he does mean?
Surely it is better for the poor women
who manufactured the articles to get bar
gain prices for them than to get nothing,
and if there is no way IN which better
prices can be obtained for them then Dr.
Pafkhurst seemed to have had no special
object in his sermon, except to create a
mild sensation.
We do not like to think the doctor is a
demagogue. Therefore we think he
should, if he can, explain just what his
purpose was in attacking those who avail
themselves of the benefits of the bargain
counter.

After the Honeymoon.

1t was shortly after the honeymoon.
says the Chicago Post, and he had grown a
trfie weary of a superabundance of sweet
ness, as men will sometimes.
He was tired when he got home, but he
kissed her affectionately. Even a rired
man can hold up his end in a kiss, you
know, provided it is not too long drawn
out or too frequently repeated. So the
kiss was all right.
Then she kissed him, and that was all
right, too. She had been brought UP very
strictly, and had been taught that all
debts should be paid with the utmost
promptness, so that it was only natural
that she should return his kiss at once
to avoid remaining in debt to him.
A little later she kissed him again, and
that was different. Before and during tho
honeymoon it would have been all right,
but there had come to be a degree of mo-
notony about fiveminute wifey kisses
that is never experienced previous to mar
rage. Consequently he was desperate
When he got the fifth kiss and she put
her arms around his neck and asked:
Am the first woman you ever kissed?'
He had answered that question six or
seven hundred times before, so there was
no particular novelty about it, but he felt
now that it was about time to give his
conscience little consideration. Any
one of his previous answers would have
ruined George Washington's famous cher
ry tree reputation, and he felt that he
could not afford to lie more than six or
seven hundred times about a little matter
like that. Therefore he replied coldly:
mot on your lifer'
"George!" she cried, breaking away from
him, do you dare TO stand there and tell
me"
Now, don't get excited" he interposed.
Il might as well square this thing with
my conscience now. And besides, you
have no kick coming You're the only one
out OF 492 that ever got such a breach-of-
promise cinch on me that 1 was afraid to
try to break the engagement, and you're
Playing in pretty good luck at that
Then he cooked his hat on one side and
started for the door with the air of a man
who feels that he has won great victory,
but nevertheless thinks it wise to go to the
club for the evening
And, by the way" he said, as he paused
in the doorway, that question is a fool
ish one, anyway, and you ought to break
yourself of the habit of asking it. What
you are a lot more interested in when
come home at night is this: Are you the
last woman I ever kissed?' You young
married women all make the mistake of
concerning yourselves with the wrong side
of the ceremony"
He shut the door gently, feeling that he
had impressed a valuable lesson on her.

when a man makes up his mind to do
a good deed and repents of his intention
before its fulfllment, he often finds that
retributive justice is swift" said a well
known clergyman, according to the Phil
adelphia Record. mot long ago l made
an earnest appeal during a Sunday morn
ing service for contributions to support a
certain branch of the church work The
ushers distributed blank subscription
cards. which were to be filled out with
promises to pay specified sums within a
year. and returned. One Of our leading
members filled out his card for five dol
lars, but by the time the ushers collected
the blanks he had changed his mind and
decided not TO donate anything He held
the paper in his hand until the service
was over. and upon leaving the church

the street Providence had an eve on thar

Costly Husband.
counter.

The New York Worlds Washington cor
respondent is authority for the statement
that it cost William X Vanderbilt sl5,OOO,-
600 to secure an alliance between his fam
lily and that of the ancient and Industrious
house of Marlborough. The young Duke
of Marlborough came high, but not too
high for the Vanderbilt purse.
And it looks as if the marriage between
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt and the young
Duke of Marlborough was proving to be
a happy one, Notwithstanding the fact
that it was Miss Vanderbilts ability to
command a dowry greater than that of
any princess which brought them together
The Duchess of Marlborough is a very
young woman, but she is proving herself
equal to the high social position she occu-
pies. During the last week the Prince
and Princess of Wales, together with their
daughters, were the guests of the duke
and duchess. So long a visit from the
Prince and Princess of Wales gave the
young American duchess great social dis
tinction, and it is now well understood in
the English social world that a daughter
of a Vanderbilt stands next to royalty. 1t
is probable that under the circumstances
William X. Vanderbilt thinks his $1,000
900 well invested. When Cornelius Wander
bilt the first began accommodating the Van
derbilt fortune, it never crossed his brain,
probably, that his great granddaughter
would entertain for a week. in her own
home. the future king and queen of Eng
land.

MistaI,en NIissionnrie..

There is no doubt that our missionaries
in Turkey believe that the reports rela-
tive to the condition of affairs in that
country which they furnish to the press
are true. They are sincere and intend to
tell the truth. There are rea-
sons for thinking, however. that
they are often mistaken; that
the reports for which they make
themselves responsible are long way
from the truth. They are mlsled by the
Armenians, and they sympathize so thor
oughly with the Armenians that they ac-
cept what Armenians say about outrages
and the cause of them in preference to
statements relative to the same matters
that are obtainable through Turkish
sources.
Secretary State Olney has taken occa-
sion to deny statements about occurrences
in Turkey recently made by DR.. Cyrus
Hamlin and Or. Grace Kimban. DR..
Hamlin asserted that American women in
Haskeui fed from massacre, not finding
protection under the American flag, and
DR.. Kimball declared that only the Eng
hsh flag was respected in Turkey.
Secretary Olney says that at Haskeui the
American flag was neither furled nor in
suited that there was not an American
man, woman or child in Haskeui during
the massacre in that place, and that dur
ing the massacre in Coustantinople Dr.
KimbaH hurried by other flags and found
protection under the American flag and the
escort of the American consul general.
We are confident that If Secretary Olney
were not satisfied of the truth of these
statements they would not be given to the
public. He has the very best sources of
information. and his position precludes the
possibility Of desire to mislead the peo-
pie.
Sometime ago we published and COM
mented upon some statements made by f.
Hopkinson Smith relative to the treatment
OF the Armenians by the sultan. The
purport of these statements was that the
sultan is not the assassin which the mis-
sionaries make him out to be, and that
the Armenians are largely to blame for
much that takes place in Turkey. from
which they are sufferers Mr.. Smiths
statements and our comments seemed ia
displease those who are insisting that the
United States shall interfere in behalf OF
the Armenians. even though such action
would result in Involving them in a war
with European powers. 1t seems to us
that these persons who have constituted
themselves the champion Of the Arme-
mans are so blinded by their religious zeal
that they are willing to ignore the facts
in order to serve the Armenians. It is a
mistake, however to attribute crimes to
! the sultan for which he is not responsible
or to accept without question the stories
the Armenians tell Of the outrages to which
they are subjected by the Turks.

The discovery of phosphate deposits in
Maury county, Tennessee, and in certain
sections Of Pennsylvania, has had the ef-
feet of giving some of the Florida papers
a temporary fit of the blues. IF the hunt
is kept up says one of them, "phos-
pilates may yet be found in every state Of
the union. For years South Carolina had
a monopoly of phosphate mining. and
then Florida Joined her, and the two had
a monopoly of the business" 1t is really
too bad; but is not Florida opposed to
trusts and monopolies on general princi-
Pies or Is it only when the other fellow
has the monopoly? Our contemporary,
however, takes comfort in the knowledge
that there is no money in the phosphate
business, anyway. IF any person or COM
pany in this state has made money in min
ing phosphates" it says, "that fact is not
generally known" Then why not rejoice
that the farmers Of Tennessee and Penn
sylvania stand a good chance Of getting
their fertilizers at a reduced cost?
