OF all forms of human effort and
execution scolding is the most useless.
When a parrot, chipmunk. a squirrel
or bluejay scolds he is ludicrous. For
people to scold is ludicrous, too. but
with difference, and assuredly the
difference is on the unfavorable side.
1t never did and never will do any one
any good. 1t has done much harm.
Besides, scolding grows to be habit.
We have all suffered because Of the
shortcomings Of some one else. re-
ceiving tremendous. TRADES over what
we had no hand in, because we hap
pened to be present when the seoldfng
habit was yielded to by one Of its vic
tins.
ScoIding Is easy. It takes neither
power of brain nor heart to scold. It
does not even make any great draft
upon the physical being. Any fishwife
alive can be a grand success at scoid-
ing. Why compete with her?
Scolding should be compelled to per-
ish from the earth. The tongue, the
voice, the eye, the face all should be
trained not to scold-yes, and the pen.
for Of all things a scolding pen is the
worst And the habit once formed
with the pen is apt never to be entirely
shaken off.---Ada G. Sweet in Woman's
Home Companion.

Prismatic CoIorr.

Mrs. Opie, the widow of the great
portrait painter whom some one has
called the INSPIRED peasant" never,
even in her old age, lost her love Of
bright colors. A little girl, Emma
Martin, afterward known in literature
as Emma Marhhall, visited her one day
and experienced a rare pleasure. She
says:
On screen in her drawing room
were hung a number of prisms, which
were suspended from chandeliers be-
fore the bell shaped globes came into
fashion. l sat on stool at my moth
er's feet, wondering what those long
bits of glass could mean. Presently the
brilliant rays of the western sunshine
filed the room.

/ did as / was hidden. BE gentle, -
said my mother in a warning voice,
but gave the screen a vigorous shake.
Emerald, ruby and violet rays danced
on the walls and ceiling and delighted
me so intensely that l kept repeating
the process; then my mother, afraid Of
mischief resulting, came and drew me
back to her side. Mrs. Opie looked at
me and said:
eff thou lowest bright colors, thee
will never see anything more beautiful
than the rainbow God sets in the sky"

AT TWILIGHT.

In the old home alone a. twilight gray,
As night folds her robes Ger Thanksgiving day,
] am dreaming again by the frelights glow
The beautiful dreams Of the long ago
Long ago, when my hayward feet
Wandered mid flowers wild and sweet,
When hearts were golden and skies were blue
And life reflected each glorious hue,
When the dearest Joy of the gladstone earth
Was the blush of arbutus, the violet's birth,
And the deepest Of all my childish woes
Was watching the bright petals fall from the
rose.
Pale is the blossom blushing knew
And its leaf overlooking with tears Of dew.
The violet sobs as she droops her head,
''You loved me not as you loved the dead"
Rambling Ger messy ruins gray
Is the eglantine Of the years, and today
Its bright thorns CLEAN in the autumn sun,
But its blossoms have fallen one by one.
All, know full WELL for my thoughts will stray,
As sit alone in the shadows gray,
Though the arbutus blossoms and sweetbrieI
grows,
That every petal is gone from the rose.

Gnnd ADVICE, Hard to Follow,

Extreme worry comes from trying to
bear all the cares of lifetime at once
instead of letting each days evil be
sufficient unto itself. If we could live
our whole life in few hours, 1t might
be consistent to think it all over in one
night. There is no past, there is no
future, for doing or accomplishing.
The present time alone is for action,
and the order is and always will be one
thing at time. This one thing must
be done on the instant in whatever cir
cumstances we find ourselves.
Not that we should be forgetful Of
the past or careless of the future. The
former has been our faithful school
master; the latter holds for US the is
sues Of life. That we may act intelli-
gently in the present 1t is essential for
us to look forward as far as the future
can reasonably be predicted, but not to
worry.
A degree of anxiety may be founded
upon facts that point almost inevitably
to future difficulties, but large part
of the forecast of trouble is groundless,
as is proved when things do not turn
out as expected. Overanxiety is al
ways crossing bridges before they are
reached. and it will stay awake all
night borrowing trouble from the re-
mote future. --Chautauquan.

THE FARNHAM CONCERT.

Waterbury's annual spring musical festival was given last evening at Polls theater to an audience of musical taste and large enough to net a good sized sum to the Waterbury orchestral society, under whose auspices the affair was given. The concert might be called the closing theatrical event of the season, and it was fitting close. as the artists who appeared last evening. with one exception belong in Waterbury. Professor c. E. Farnham conducted the concert so successfully that eneores were very plentiful, al- though not always responded to. The concert was thoroughly enjoyed by those present, and as each performer appeared on the stage he or she receiv- ed an ovation. The piano selection by Jno L. Bonn with orchestral accom- paniment, was, without doubt, the event of the evening Professor Bonn is a musician that Waterbury people should feelproud of. He received such an ovation with bouquets thrown in that the selection had to be repeated in or der to satisfy his listeners. Mime Bou- ton rendered two numbers in a very pleasing manner, and in response to an encore after her second appearance she sang a very pretty lullaby with violin obIigato, by one of the lady members of the society, and piano &C., compartment by A. J. Blakesley, the president of the orchestral society. The several numbers by the orchestra were nicely rendered, and the selection com posed by Professor Hans Saro, seemed to hold it's own with those of Handel, Mozart and the others. The ladies and gentlemen who took part deserve more than ordinary praise for their success ful efforts and the director, Professor Farnham has every reason to feel proud at the successful termination of the annual spring musical festival.

Potent Liquors from Fruits.

Some terribly potent liquors can be distilled from the innocent-looking ba- mana. Also from the milk of the cocoa nut. The Japanese make an excellent liquor from plums and from the flow CTS of the motherwort and the peach. The Chinese produce several qualities of spirit from rice and pulse, all of them intoxicating, and most of them poisonously intoxicating, besides which they cam make an alcoholic drink from mutton. The Russians run them close in curious preparation of an animal nature. This is their qwass, drink which to the uninitiated tastes like soap and water, andwhich is made from milk. sg

Europe,. sy.teD. of Royal succession

The most general is that known as the salic system, under which women are completely excluded. This is the rule in Belgium, Sweden and Norway, Italy, Denmark and Germany. Then there is the German-Dutch system un- der which Germans in all degrees of re- lationship take precedence of females, the throne passing to the female line only in case of the extinction of all the male lines, however remote. This is the rule in Holland-from which the law takes its name-Russia, and some of the minor German states. The third system is our own (English) un- der which females, are excluded when there are males in the same degree of relationship, but take precedence of males whose degree of relationship is not so close as their own. Thus an elder daughter of the ruling sovereign gives way to all her younger brothers and their issue, but takes precedence of male cousin or a nephew. This system is the rule in Spain and Portu- gal as we'll as in England.-St. James Gazette.
