am a farmers son, who thinks the
boys and men should know as much
about cooking and house work in gen.
eral as they expect the women toknow
about the general farmwork, says a
writer in the american AgricultariSt.
/ believe in the men doing the farm
work and the women the housework
generally, but my idea for happy
home is where hrsband and wife and
brothers-and sisters are able and will
ing to help one another in his Or her
department whenever needed. 1 would
not advise men or boys to learn how to
cook pies Or pudding, because l think
such food is not healthful to eat, either
for sick or we'll people, even if very
palatable. Many times embarrassment
would be avoided if the husband or
brother could do the housework during
a short illness or visit, and keep things
neat and in order, not as the wife or
sister would keep it. but good enough
for true love to be satisfied; and vice
versa. If the man and woman each
under stands their own work thorough
ly, then all they knew of the work
which is not usually theirs will enable
them to kindly assist when there is
need of such help. There are too many
men who desire the wife or sister to
help in the outdoor work, but are cross
or tGo tired or busy to help in the
house little occasionally, just as if
there were nothing tiresome about the
houseWork.
THE DARKEST DAY.
The darkest day in any mans career
is that when he fancies there is some
easier way of getting a dollar than by
squarely earning it. Ab, that is the
ruinous thought, the enter ing wedge
to dishonesty If once admitted and
harbored it will work death. Holiness
keeps evil thoughts at respectful dis
tance.-Horace Greely.

The Up to- Date Girl,

The real up. to-date glrl is strange
combination. She must be as versa
tile as a lawyer, as witty as a profess
sional humorist and as deceiviug as
the sleight-of-hand performer. With
out ali of these qualities she might as
well retire 10 nunuery or some other
placesof seclusion, for she will not be
in it with her more fortunate sisters .
The scientific theory, which is an OPP
timistic one, that everything is. gradu-
ally evoluting TO better end, has a
good example in the girls of to-day.
They have keener sense of humor,
so il is said, than girls had formerly,
and certainly know more about the
ways of the world. She knows how
to distinguish the vulgar frem'the real,
pure wit, and she never fails to take
advantage of an opportunity that
might in any way cause her stock to
rise.
The Gossiper saw real up-to-date
girl the other night at the theatre.
She is one of the kind that is strictly
in it. "Hamlet" was being played.
All the players, that is, all the men
wore tights, but those worn by Polon-
ious were little worsted for wear. One
of them contained hole near the right
ankle. The young lady observed this
as soon as he came upon the stage.
Her companion saw it, too, but re-
Trained from commenting about it.
But the girl, alas, thought it was too

enoughto be heard by those sitting
near "If mamma had known OF that
hole she would not have allowed me
to have come with you."-Louisvile

REMARKABLE LIGHT.
A Viennese Professor Discovers
An Agent For Scientific Pho
Biography.

A dispatch from London says: The
noise of wars alarms should not dis
tract attention from the marvellous
triumph of science which is reported
from Vienna. 1t is announced that
Prof. Routgem, of the Wurzburg
University, has discovered a light
which, for the purpose of photography
will penetrate wood, flesh and most
other organic substances. The pro-
fessor has succeeded in photograph
ing metal weights which were in close
wooden cases, also a mans hand,
which shows only the bones, the flesh
being invisible.
The correspondent says that the dis
covery is simple. The professor takes
so called crooked pipe, viz, a vacuum
glass pipe with an induction current
going through it and by means of
rays which the pipe enters photo
graphs on ordinary Photographic
plates.
In contrast with the ordinary rays
of light these rays penetrate organic
matter and other Opaque substances
just as ordinary rays penetrate glass.
He has also succeeded in photo
graphing hidden metals with cloth
thrown over the camera. The rays
penetrated not only the wooden case
containing the metals, but the fabric
in front of the negative.
The professor is already using his
discovery to discover broken limbs
and bullets in human bodies.

MORE DANGEROUS
THAN THE OCEAN.
Lake Navigation is Beset by
Many Perils TO Which the
Sea is Stranger.

Sailing the great lakes with the low
stage Of water during the season just

sissippi river sieamboating aud AT

dangerous places to run as the 500
river, with its jagged rocks. where
masters are forced TO pick their way
over courses marked by ranges amid
swift currents, and frequently in
crowds of boats like a naval display,
says the Buffalo Courier. AS river
pilot the commander Of lake vessel

sippi cut of his mind Past these he
enters an open sea, frequently swept
by storms, which try to the uttermost

task before him has features which
the ocean navigator generally escapes.
The latter has sea room. He can run
before the storm for perhaps hundreds
of miles, or heaving to, let his boat
drift for days at t..i time. The , lakes,
while large enough to produce tre-
mendous seas, are really so small that
in big storms vessels have little sea
room. Once in a gale, they are prac-
tically ON lee shore, and must fight

gain shelter of the shore TO wind ward.
1t Is due to this union of river and
ocean navigation that losses on the
lakes reach so high q figure. This is
particularly true since the coming of
steel boats. The laundering OF the
steamers Western Reserve and w. IL.
Gilcher in the fall of 1892 proved con-
clusively that steel boats had to be
built as heavy and as strong on the
lakes as on the Atlantic. Every steel
vessel launched since then wonld pass
easily the critical inspection of the
ocean underwriters. But this very
solidity units them for the river part
of lake navigation. When they touch
rock something must give way, and
when something gives way the cost of
repairs is far heavier than it would be
were it not for the complicated net
work of angles and frames which give
strength to the double bottom. The
past season millions of tons of freight
have been carried on steel boats
which, in the shallower parts of the
connecting rivers, were within a few
inches of the bottom. Now and then
something went amiss, and big re-
pair bill followed. Louisville Times.

from the village until after the house

night the whole house was aroused by
a humping at the door, and calls of
"Clary-Clary-A Claryw

Every once in while the Salvation
Army or some other body of muscular
Christians does something which puts
the more conventional church organi
cations to blush for their own short
comings. OF such a nature is the foun-
dation of the Prison Gate Home for
ex-convicts, under direction of Mr..
BOoth-Tucker. At this institution it
is intended that men just released
from the penitentiary shall be given
profitable employment, shelter and re-
ligious instruction, to the end that they
shall walk among their fellowmen
with appraised heads and unflinching
eyes.
The establishment of this home by a
private organization not too well en-
dowed with funds directs attention to
the entire subject of our treatment of
criminals. Nothing could be more in
consistent than a system which in in
flicting punishment upon offenders pro-
ceeds on the theory that they are ca
pable of being reformed, but in prac-
tice after they have suffered the legal
! pcllully putS cNcls ODStdCle III Tue WAY
of their return to honesty.
The brutal cynicism of our ancestors
was more logical. In the eighteenth
century men were hanged for almost
every offense from murder to sheep
stealing. There was no theorizing about
their classification as criminals of
passion" or criminals of occasion, -
or "habitual criminals" They were
tried in ten minutes and whipped Off
to the gallows the same day. The
philanthropists of our generation are
less brutal and tritle more cruel. We
put upon his forehead an ineifaceabie
brand, then turn him loose upon the
world with calm carelessness for his
future. Unfortunately, the police are
not so Indifferent. The wretch is har-
ried from pillar to post, toImentcd by
espionage, exhibited publicly on every
conceivable occasion as II malefactor.
until no recourse is left for him but 4
return to a career of crime. Bitter as
is term in the penitentlary, the life
which an eX-convict is forced to lead is
EAR more terrible in the variety and
refinement of its punishments. What
reason have we to hope for anything
but mischief to society from brand
ed outcast toward whom no hand is
extended in compassion, while thou
sand hands are raised in threat?
In Illinois, by the indeterminate SEN
tence law, we have undertaken TO leave
the door open to eX-convicts for re-
turn to life of responsibility. Bot
the law is defective when it is not sup
plemented by skillful organized wort;
for the rehabilitation of the paro,cd
men. They must not be thrown upon
the tender mercies of the police or left
TO evolve in their dulled minds from
the GOODNESS of employers the old
theory, "Once a convict, always q
convict" The lack of well-endowed
prisoners aid associations in this cit,
is a reflection upon the humanity CT
our people which President Brinler
