QUALITY IN OUR SOCIETY.

An English Visitor Finds Glasses More
Distinct Than In England.
We have known Mrs. G. of Fifth ave.
nue. for some years, and during her an
nual visit to London have improved the
acquaintance of this charming little
lady. She has all the fascination Of the
attractive American woman. She is
surprised and apparently delighted to
see US, inquiries how long we have been
lover and thinks it ''too bad" that we
have not been sooner to call. She Is dis
pensing afternoon tea to a young man
whom she introduces. His name is IA
miliar as that of a family Of million
aires, and as such is entitled to respect.
He is quiet and reserved, bows low to
each of us in turn and talks in SUBJ
dued voice through his even, white teeth.
Only tone here, an infection there,
betray the fact that he Is an American.
His phrases are carefully chosen and are
rather superlative-curious in contrast
with the quietness and apathy OF his
voice and manner. I take him to be q
type Of the society man.
Mrs. 9. is also type. Her vivacity
Is contagious and her conversation un-
tagging. She passes lightly from one
subject to another. Everything she says
is worth listening to. They are both as
different from ordinary middle class
Americans as are the English upper
CLASSES distinct from the lower. It is a
study in human nature that people
speaking the same language, living in
the same city, Influenced by the same
feelings, should be, in all things. SO ut
terly dissimilar as those who compose
society and those who do not 1t is not

THERE'S A BOY IN THE HOUSE.

A racket, rattle, rolnoAing shout
Above and below and around and about.
A whistlins. pounding, . hammering OF nails
The building Of houses. the shaping Of sails
Eutreaties for paper, for scissors for string,
For every unfndable, bothersome thing.
A bang of the door, and dash up the stairs
In the interest Of burdensome business affairs,
And an elephant hunt for bit Of mouse
Made 1t easy to hear there's boy in the house.
But, oh, IL the tods were not scattered about
And the house never echoed to racket and rout
II forever the rooms were all tidy and neat,
And one need not brush after wee, muddy feet
Il no one laughed out when the morning was
red,
And with kisses went tumbling all tired to bed
What a wearisome, work day world don't you

And I'm happy to think. tho shrink like 9

Should Have Been Satisfied.

A Michigan statesman has introduced
bill at Lansing requiring that all ho-
tel bills Of fare shall be printed i'll Eng
lish. This is matter which Michigan
and Indiana may safely be left to fight
out for themselves, but the "cause
thereunto moving in Michigan de-
serves a word Of comment. The Michi-
gan solon says he recently came to Chi
cago, registered from the state Of Pin
gree and said he wanted square meal
He entered the hotel dining room, Or
dered five dishes from the French bill Of
fare and was given five different kinds
of potatoes. The ground of this visitors
objection does not appear to be tenable.
Five different kinds Of potatoes at one
meal certainly ought to be enough to
satisfy even Michigan man.-Ohicago

military rraining-what Is IT.

Some persons are of opinion that it Is
not wise to cultivate in the young, by
drilling and marching exercises, mill
tary spirit. When these exercises are in
troduced into private schools. it Is with
a view to improve the bearing Of scholars
and to provide healthful exercise. But
certainly in these, as well as in our army
and naval schools, great pains should be
taken to Undue the pupils with desire
to excel in those qualities and character
istics which belong to truly brave SOL
diers. One might imagine, from reading
the accounts of what is called "hazing"
in the schools, that the object was to
produce an army Of brigands who would
insult an unarmed traveller, or kill any
one carrying money. Persons Of refined
feelings find it difficult to believe that
the practice should ever be thought
amusing. Boys either stronger or more
in number than their victims are cow
ardly enough to assail them when they
cannot defend themselves and adopt
some means Of terrifying them or inf1ict-
ing pain. Can such men ever grow up
into gentlemen ready to defend the OPP
pressed, or protect the weak, or refrain
from cruelty to vanquished enemy If
in early life their feelings are SO blunt
ed? It is preposterous to say that those in
charge of the schools cannot prevent
these outrages. If they cannot, they are
unfit to train boys. Some initiation cere-
monies can be devised which are neither
coarse nor brutal A good joke, which
should be one to please both parties, is
illustrated by the following anecdote:
A young German prince, walking
with his tutor, noticed that peasant at
work in the fields had left his wooden
shoes under ledge. "Let us put stones
in them," said the boy, 'and hide near
to witness his discontinue. 'Let us
put some money into each one," sug-
gested his tutor, land then conceal our
selves to witness his surprise and pleas
ure. ''-Southern Ohurchman.

Night after night as the doctor and
the girl watched that beautiful child
they felt that the Pickering flame had
been kindled, and we'll it was, for soon
the oil Of sympathy would be needed to
steady the flame and keep warmth in
the breast Of the girl
When Gods children are too pure for
this world, he calls them home, that
their purity may never be contaminated.
And SO he called little Mabel Robinson.
It was just at dawn, that dreamy
hour Of indecision, when the world
seems to mediate between the night and
day. The shades were up, and the first
shafts Of the newborn day crept silently
through the windows and melted the
shadows Of the room. The doctor held
the child's little hand, and the girl,
with tear, dimmed eyes, watched the lit
tie form whose life was slowly ebbing
away. A bar Of sunlight struggled
through the morning mist and shone on
the face Of the child, bathing her hair
in golden light and whispering some
message in her ear, for she smiled and
looked to heaven.
( The doctor folded the little arms
across her breast and kissed her smiling
lips, while the sister stood staring, but
seeming not to see. DR.. Baker led her
to chair and gave her some stimulant.
This revived her, and she asked for
Mabel.
mabel has gone away, " he answered.
eGod called her home by the first shaft
Of sunlight. -
"And now am alonev' sobbed the
girl.
"Nay, not alone" replied the doctor
softly, taking her hand Though my
skill could not save Mabel, my heart
may save you from some of the dreari-
ness and loneliness of the future. Let us
bear together this sorrow, and let me
share in all these coming years the joys
and sorrows Of your life, that I may try
and comfort you"
my dear doctor, the tender care you
took Of Mabel won my heart, and under
that same care my life can know no sor.
row."
The little child was laid away, and
nothing but her memory remained, but
the lamp that was lighted in two breasts
, during the midnight watches of the long
sickness burned steadily and bright like
true beacon through the remainder Of
two lives Brooklyn Citizen.

Bad Spelling as a Result of Disease

People who spell very badly are not
uncommon, and this defect is almost
always the occasion Of serious annoy
ance to them and embarrassment to
their friends. That bad spelling Is
caused by disease is a statement that
will be new to many, but that such a
state Of things exists is proved by excel
lent medical authorities. In certain con-
ditions Of brain and nerves the patient
almost invariably writes cot" instead
of "to." In another slightly varying
form, instead of the" the first letter is
omitted, and SO in many other Of the
shorter words. This malady usually
affects the brain only in connection
with words of one syllable, but cases
have occurred where longer words have
been SO distorted that it was difficult to
get their sense. 1t is question whether
one would be comforted by being told
that bad spelling was caused by mental
disease or whether he would prefer to
have this lack Of accuracy set down to
ignorance or carelessnesa New York

to make this extract: 81 have no hesitation in

the results were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While was pastor of the Bap-
fist church at Rives Junction she was brought
down with pneumonia succeeding la grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last

if she could not survive them. A friend

The drinking of salt water is said
to be perfect cure for sea sickness,
though it makes the drinker very
miserable for few minutes after he
takes the cure. The sailor who rec
commended it to the sufferer in ques-
ton accounted for it by saying that
the stomach on board ship is in a
very sensitive state, and that the
salt water pickles it, so that it gets
harden ed to conditions which had
previously revolted it. If that were
the explanation, it must be rapid
and miraculous kind of picking pro-
cess that is effected by pint of salt
water. But whatever the rationale
of the supposed sailors remedy may
be any quick remedy for SO frightful
distress is worth trying; and the
assertion of the sailors is said to be
that it never fails.

GOOD WALKING.

A shoemaker says: AS soon as a
man comes into my shop and takes off
his shoes can tell whether or not he
is good walker, and it is astonish-
ing to find how few men know the
proper way to step out. If the shoe
is worn down at the heel, not on the
sides but straight back, and the
leather of the sole shows signs of
weakness at the ball of the foot, a
little greater on the inside just below
the base of the great toe, know the
wearer is good walker. If the heel
is turned on one side, or is worn
evenly throughout, and the sole is
worn most near the toe,I know have
to deal with poor pedestrian.
The reason of the difference is po-
sitlon of the worn spot lies in the
fact that the poor walker walks from
his knee and the good one from his
hip. Watch the passer- by on the
itreet and you will at once see the
difference. Nine men out of ten will
bend the knee very considerably in
W"ANAAS, ouOPPluS oUIdiSuO Out Will
both hips on the same line, and the
the toe will be the first to strike the
ground.
The tenth man will bend his knee
very little, just enough to clear the
ground, and will swing the leg from
the hip, very much as the arm swings
from the shoulder and not from the
elbow. By SO doing he calls upon the
muscles which are strongest to bear
the strain, and increases the length
of his stride four or six inches. The
heel touches the ground first and not
the toe. Men who walk in this fash
ion cover the ground 80 per cent fast
er with the same exertion than those
who walk from the knee. In pugil-
ism the old rule is to strike from the
shoulder and not from the elbow.
