The Second Marriage.

"How cozy you do lookw I could
not help saying as L sank into an easy
chair opposite my two old friends
whom had not met in five years.
I'VE are enjoying our second mar
riage," answered my friend, with a
merry laugh.
"Your second marriagew I looked
at her in amazement. knew she had
never married any man except the one
beside her, and she had been his wife
over thirty years.
"You see,'' she continued. tucking a
silvery hair meath the dainty cap,
"when Will and I first married, we
had only each other to think of and
care for. To this day I love to think
of those first two years. Then little
one came to share our affection. What
with making dainty little dresses and
keeping busy hands and feet out OF
mischief, could not always think to
have my husbands slippers by the fire
or his hat and gloves in just the right
place. AS the years passed, and our
children grew, our interest was CEN
tered in their welfare; we had less
time to think Of each other; now they
are married aud settled in homes OF
their own, and we have gone back just
where we started, with only each other
to care for" a.,
"And do you enjoy it the same%' I
asked.
"More," she answered quickly

noted how careful he was to do all lit

quietly she arranged everything for
his comfort. When he praised the

imagine they did in those first years.
We fingered long at the table, chatting

wondered then, and many times
since, why there could not be many
more such second marriages. Why,
as the years pass, instead of drifting
apart husbands and wives could not
be drawn more closely together, help

declining years, until they pass over
the river and sit down to the marriage

A jammed finger should lie plunged
into water as hot as can possibly be
borne. The application of hot water
causes the nail to expand and soften
and the clood pouring out beneath il
has more room to flow; thus the pain
is lessened. The finger should ther
be wrapped in bread-and-water poul
tice. A jammed finger should never
be neglected, as it may lead to mortifi
cation of the bone.
The very best disinfectant and deo
dorizer know is copperas. A double
handful dissolved in bucket of wateI
and used to wash drain pipes and re-
ceptacles of waste material, will keer
such places above suspicion. The wa
ter in pitchers and flower-holder:
should be changed every day. On at
tention to such seemingly trivial de-
tails may hang a human life.

Electric Young Men.

The electric atmosphere OF the Amer
lean business world Is all too apt to
make our young men impatient, writes
Edward w. Box in an article on
young men in the March Ladies
Home Journal. They want to fly be-
fore they can even walk well. Ambi-
ton is a spendid thing in any young
man. But he must not forget that,
like fire and water it makes q good
servant but'a poor faster. Getting
along too fast is just as injurious as
getting along too slow. A young man
between twenty and twenty-five must
be patient. I know patience is difti
cult thing to cultivate, but it is among
the first lessons we must learn in bus
mess. A good stock of patience
acquired in early life, will stand q
man in good stead in latter years: 1t
is handy thing to have and draw
upop, and makes a splendid safety
value. Because young man as ne
approaches twenty-five, begins to see
things more plainly than he did five
wears before, he mustn't get the idea
that he is business man yet, and en-
titled to a mans salary. If business
questions, which he didn't understand ID
Ave years before, now begin to look
clearer to him, it is because he is pass
ing through the transitory state that
divides the immature judgment of the
young man and the ripening, peDetra-
ton of the man. He is simply begin.
ming. From then he will grow, and
his salary will grow as he grows. But
Rome wasn't built in day, and a bus
mess man isn't made in a night. AS
experience comes, the judgment will
become mature, and by the time the
young man reaches thirty he will be-
gin to realize that he didn't know as
much at twenty-five as thought he did.
And when be is ready to learn from
others he will began to grow wise.
And when he reaches that state where
be is willing to concede that he hasn't
a "corner" on all the knowledge in
this world, he will be stepping out OF
the chrysalis of youth.

The body OF john HageIty, inferred in the

HagerLy, OF Charleston.
Dr. c. w. Casou while out one Of the dark
est nights last week attending 10 his profess

horse get away from the hitching post about
six miles from home. He was furnished q
mule TO return home and on his way found
the vehicle hugging pine sappling and q
piece OF harness was found ever and anon 10
serve as pointers as to the direction the horse
had gone. He hauled up mule back at his
home, but no horse could be found. Early
next morning the horse repented of his little
sinful game and came home asking the Doc
tors forgiveness. The Doctor with his big
heart kindly forgave him and set about gath

the same day faithful Sam and the Doctor

1884, in Amsterdam, the bicentennial
of the thimble was celebrated with a
great deal of formality. This very val
liable addition to my lady's work bas-
ket was first made by goldsmith
named Nicholas van Benschoten. And
it may futher interest Colonial DANES
to know that the first thimble made
was presented in 1858 to Ann van
Wedy, the second wife of Kilian van
Ransselar, the purchaser of Renssel-
awy and the first patroon. Madam
van Rensseler's memory was duly
honored in Holland on the occasion of
the thimble bicentennial. In present
ing this useful gift, Van Bonschoten
begged Madame van Rensselaer, Ito &C
cept this new covering for the protec-
ton of her dilligent fingers as token
of his esteem." 1t was not until 1856,
lust two hundred years ago, that the
thimble was introduced into England
by q Hollander named John Lofting,
who opened q thimble manufactory at
Islington.
Shortly before he died, Sir Walter
Scott said &: II have been, perhaps, The
