The HOUSEHOLD mENDING.

OF all the cares that beset the path Of
the hOusekeeper of moderate means, |
fancy the weekly mending is the most
trying. The old rule that one likes to
do " hat he does well is no less applica-
Die 10 NEEDING than To other things, and
the Lack Of knowing how to mend Is al
the root of much of the distaste for IL.
Another and most potent cause of it,
being IA bugbear Is holding the perniciou>
idea that each weeks mending must be
done by Saturday night. Don't harness
yourself TO any such load. Take your
mending leisurely. Is the washing late
and Johnuie's underwear in a fearful
state of dilapidation? Lay it aside for
careful repairing early in the mt t week.
and turn with feeling of comfort to
your other mending. | adjure you, do
only so much mending weekly as you
can do thoroughly. BY steadily pur-
suing this plan you will find the mend
ing pile growing smaller every week
and your disposition toward it much
more amiable.-Demorest' Magazine.

cRlsslNG AT HARVARD.

The faculty OF Harvard University has
announced It. intention Ia separate from
the college students handing In written
work not their own, and To- post their
names on the college bulletin boards,
The offence thus TO be dealt with Is
Familiarity known as "cribbing." The
Harvard faculty has determined and an
nounced that IL l. di.honorsble, and
merits public expulsion. The conclu-
sion thus reached l. somewhat revolu-
tionary. and the sction taken has only
been taken with reluctance, and after
solemn thought and full discussion,
In old times at Harvard, as in most
other colleges where what l. known -
the honor system" in examinations
does not prevail, cribbing was not re-
gArded as dishouorablr, though IT, eX-
pediencv has always been freely ques-
toned, even by the patrons of the prac-
tice. IL used 20 be the custom, when
written examinations were held, 10 gar
rison the examination room. with proc
tors, who pstrolled the ai>les, and made
il their business 20 restrain - far a.
possible the propensity Of the examined
TO cheat. The result was that IL was re-
gsrded a. fair game 10 beat the cX-
aminers, and students of honorable
character often used what furtivc aids
they might 20 exc out their halying
scholarship. Only when the cXamiua-
lions we're In some degree competitive,
a. where students were trying for high
rank or for scholarships, was cribblug
felt TO involve dishonor. But conditions
are declared 10 have changed at Harvard.
The relations between instructors and
students are more familiar than they
used 10 be, and the majority OF the
students are believed 10 take their work
more seriously than they once did, and
70 look upon their Instructors more ~
fountains Of information aud less a.
hinderanCes 10 ease. The faculty feels
that there are certain childish things
that ought To be put away from Harvard
forever, aud cribbing Is one of them.
Hence this severe penalty for an offence
which. il seems, i still very prevalent
among the more frivolous undergrad
uAtes.-Harper's Weekly.

These are they who are in the grass and are
basing their hopes on, we'll, on free
silver we reckon, or a pension or - pre-
destination perhaps
81 In the course of our perambulatlons We
came across the Chain gang in charge OF
Capt. T. D. Dubose, jr, and Sergeant Hurst.
They had just completed the main bridge
over Carter's Crossing, Scape Ger, and our
inagment is that the job is we'll done. The
ssaaseway is raised to level with the abnt-
menfs, obviatiag the danger of knocking the
brains ont of your buggy or dislocating your
horses shoulder SO you drive against them.
8 Ne didn't krow that the gang overseer is
reouired to te skilled bridge builder. We
noted, in the gang, Aaron Richardson, who
was the subject ofa somewhat anomalous case
At last term of court. Aaron was arrested
for COW stealing. The family of one of the
main witnesses was Ill and be MAS permitted,
by the Solicitor, to go home under the i'm
preston that the case would not be reached.
The other witnesses also left, but the case was
called and Mr. Wilson, forgetting his permis-
SION to the witnesses, allowed the prisoner to
DC 9fCdISuSo ouu tuS july eUPoaS'tSo ouo wv
prosecutor examined before remembering that
: he had no other evidence. The case was
Withdrawn from the jury, the prisoner rear
raigned the next day, another jury empanrel-
led and the prisoner convicted. His counsel
appealed and the case is in the Supreme
Court. Your reporter was on Aaron's first
jury and has doubts as to his guilt, thou b
the circamstantial facts were ''strong as evil
dence of holy writ" GUv.
