Education In the Home

"When one finishes school or
college one is only beginning to
learn, and what better post
graduate courses could one have
than the practical application of
ideas through the medium of
friends and family" inquiries
Frances Evans, in the May La
dies Home Journal. GAS far as
education is concerned the best
family friend is the dictionary
When you see some one IN a FAM
lily consulting the dictionary
whenever a doubtful word or
phrase comes up in the course of
conversation you will find the
members intelligent people as far
as facts can educate. We may
not be able to aid each other in
the higher education of philoso-
ply, science and ethics, but one
thing is certain; we can TO m
family alliances against lgnor-
ance of the three RS as well as
geography, spelling and good
English. Slang has it's uses, no
doubt, but il American parents
do not give some heed to the
English talked by their children
at home, Americans a hundred
years hence will have absolutely
forgotten their mother tongue.

A device to prevent sleep walk
ing is to lay upon the floor, by
the side of the somnabulist's bed :,
a sheet of iron, zinc, or other
metal, wide enough to insure that
he will step upon it. When the
walking fit COMES upon him
his foot touches the cold surface
of the metal, and he instinctively
draws that leg into the bed again
After two or three attempts the
somnambulist gives it up and set
ties down IN bed.

Mr.. Reeds Resignation

1t is announced with authority
that Speaker Reed will resign
his seat ia Congress and retire to
private life, and engage In the
practice OF law in New York.
This determination on the part
of Mr.. Reed Is said to be due to
two thinss first, the fact that
be desires to engage in a remun-
erative business, and, second,
that he finds himself out of SYM
pathy with the administration on
some questions of Importance.
Mr.. Reed very much desired the
nomination for the presidency
at the hands of the republican
party in 1896, and has been a dis
appointed man since, though his
prospects for such honor were
never bright. He is one of the
ablest, though one of the most
arbitrary, men who ever filled
the chair, but even his opponents
do full justice to his sincerity and
honesty. Mr.. Reeds decision on
the question of counting quorum
had the effect of revolutionizlng
methods of transactipg business
In the House of Representatives,
and is now accepted as the proper
rule of procedure by both polltl-
cal parties, and has been upheld
by the Supreme Court. Mr..
Reed s retirement will lead to an
active contest for the position of
speaker, with the chances favor
ing the Il ,ction Of some man from,
the central west. Outlook.

Y. NC. A AUXILIARY.
Hold Apron Sale with supper at Y. NJ.
{. A. Building.

The auxiliary to the Y. NJ. q. A. held
an apron sale and provided q supper at
the Y. NJ. c. A. building yesterday after
noon and evening. The executive com
mittee had charge of the affair which was
entirely successful.
The large room on the west side of the
fourth story was devoted to the sale.
The apartment was very attractive with
its large windows, permitting a splendid
view, its handsome decorations and its
tables filled with aprons Of all kinds
and styles, besides many fancy articles.
Ice cream and cake were also served here,
and the patronage was excellent.
When the building was planned 1t was
thought by the ladies that u kitchen and
banquet hall connected on this floor
would be provided. BY some misunder-
standing their expectations were not
realized. So last night tables we're ar
ranged in the south corridor Of the same
story and kitchen provided in the fifth
story. There were ten tables, each accom-
modating eight persons, and every one
was welcome to enjoy the delicious sup
per provided on Payment of!the required
price. The tables were most attractive
in their arrangement and there is no
doubt that goodly sum was obtained.
