Praise to the Face.

/ once saw father walk up to a map
his little boy had made and pinned on the
wall. He stood before it long time in
silence, and in silence walked away. The
little fellow WAS sitting in the room, and
his father knew he was there. He was
watching with his eager child's eyes,
waiting anxiously for word of approval.
As none came, his poor little face fell I'M
happily. Straigh hit into the next room
walked the father, and said carelessly:
"RObert has drawn a very clever little
map in there. Look at it when you
go in"
Did you tell him it was clever?" asked
judicial listener, following from the
room where little Robert still sat.
why, no. ! ought to have done SO. l
never thought to mention it,
"Well, you ought to be ashamed of
YOURSELF" was the deserved reply. $50
back now and tell him"
We ought all OF US to be ashamed OF
ourselves dozen times day for like sins
OF omission. 1t costs so little to say nice
things, and the result in anothers pleas
ure is out OF all proportion to our trouble.
Praise to the face open disgrace.
No such thing. The proverb is wrong.
Praise to the face is one of the sweetest
things on earth, and there is no disgrace
i'll it, unless untruth enters, or unless the
praise is undeserved. 1t is the more
grateful because no one may ask for open
praise and receive by asking. When it
comes thus at call it is not praise; its fine
flavor is quite gone, and it is but fiattery.

Five Fortunate Tramps.

There were five lucky hoboes in ELS
worth Nuudt, at-At. After rather uU-
pslatahle repa-t Of red herring and hard
tack the fare which the city furnishes
to tramps-they had stretched themselves
in various positions about the tramp
lodging-room in the basement of Han
cock hall, and with that cheerful dsre-
gard Of surroundings peculiar to their
class, were soon dreaming blissfully. 1t
was an inspiring sight.
In the hall overhead the City hose
boys were having a dance, and occasional
strains Of music penetrated to the depths
OF the basement and mingled sweetly
with the sonorous SHORES of the sleeping
trsmps.
Perhaps 1t was the music, perhaps the
red herring, that diverted their drea ms
from he usual channel, and instead Of
that dogless paradise OF the tramps, where
the sun always shines on the warm
side of the haystack and woodpiles are
unknown, they dreamed Of younger days.
Again they were back in the days of
their youth and ambition; again they
joined in the merry dance, while about
them were their schoolday friends.
And is she here? Yes, there she Is, as
fair as when she captivated the weak and
foolish boy, and then, with feminine
fickleness, cast him aside for another,
crushing he spirit within him and start
ing him on his tireless tramp.
From such dreams as these they were
aroused at midnight, by the invitation,
Come, fall in for supper, and following
their conductors upstairs they entered
the banquet room. The dancers had
tessted, but a generous supply of food
remained.
The tramps were seated at the table,
and the food was piled before them. And
did they eat? 1t was worth the price of
admission to see them.
Tuesday morning five Weary Willes
plodded slowly out OF Elswort h, occs-
sionslly turning to look in bewldered
way at he city. What night they had
passed Was it all dream? An, no, there
was something within them that told
them it was not all dream.
Perhaps it was that cake.

were made. the first twelve months would
have twenty-elght days, or four weeks
each, and the new month twenty nine

years After few days there would be
no need to refer TO calendars, as the same
day OF the week would have the same
date through the year.
II Jan. were, say, Monday, every Mon
day would be the LIST. Sth, 18th and I'D :;
every Tuesday the ID. 9th, 10th and I'D,
and so on throughout the year. The
changes OF the moon would be on about
the same dates through the year, and
many calculations, like interest, dates OF
maturing notes, Easter, and many other
important dates would be simplified.

W oman slavery.

Woman slavery continues in San Fran
cisco, and the importation of Chinese
girls is increasing. The Pacific Ensign
says:
There is no disputing the fact that
they are slaves of the most abject order
and, nearly all being between S and %
years of age, their commercial value is
from 81 1000 to 81, 500 each OF course
the laws of the land prohibit unrestrict-
ed Chinese immigration, but all these
undesirable females claim the right to
land on the ground that they are the
wives of merchants in this city, or that
they are native daughters.

Road Notes.

No intelligent farmer should waste
his time in hauling half loads to market
Every farmer should lay by something
for a rainy day, and that something
should include an umbrella and a good
road TO market
The value of the horse depends ON the
character Of the road
Wide tires are roadmakers; narrow
tires are road breakers
Do the most of your next springs
roadmaking this fall.
Whether farmer is one hour or sew
eral from market depends largely on
the condition of the road
