THE IDEAL HOUSEWIFE.
Iectual Equipment and Is Con-
scicntious in Her Work.

Though household methods are
changing as the years go by and man
ufacturers of various foods now as
sist the housekeeper in ways that
were unknown u score of years ago,
She difference between good and bad
housekeeping is just as apparent to-
day as it ever was, says the New
York Tribune. Even in remote dis
tricts of the land the bakers cart
now brings bread to the door, and
the family are not compelled to sub
sist on bread which is "a compound
of putty and lead" as they were in
old times, if the weeks baking Mt
home went awry. We store our sup
plies for the table for short term,
| for grocery stores and markets are
near at hand; but the housewife who
allows her sugar bucket to become
| empty or finds herself compelled to
send for a pound of butter just be-
fore dinner is just as reprehensible
as in old times when, if supplies ran
| short, she must sometimes wait
weeks for them. The absence of
housewifely thought and care is just
as manifest, the sense Ut scrambling
and hand to hand methods just as
apparent In one case as in the
other.
II The ideal housewife needs the very
best equipment of faculties, intellec'
tual and moral. She must be OF the
highest type of womanhood in order
to fulfil her duties in their highest
manner. Bad housekeeping has thu
smirch of disgrace which belongs t.
selfshness, want of thought for 9th
ers, and want of regard for dut.
which no good woman should will
ingly attach to herself. Tt has be
, come the fashion to look down upol
housekeeping as beneath the consid
Grafton of fine mind or nobl
spirit. This high sounding talk
contradicted by history. That natio

Tire. KING. Befor. Victoria.

Three Kings Before Victoria.
Victoria assembled the throne at an in.
auspicious moment. Kingship had fall
en- into q miserable %disrepute. The
last three monarchs who had sat upon
our throne had done little to make
their office easy or glorious. George III
had obscured whatever virtues were
his by an obstinacy Of opinion which
lost US a vast colony and which might
we'll have ens!aved US to a foreign
power.
George Nv had died unwept and IN.
pitied. AS he had made his distin.
guishcd office a. scandal. as he had
made his throne ridiculous by q deplor-
able levity of taste and conduct, so he
had forfeited the affection of his peo-
pie and alienated their sympathy long
before death overlook him. "There
never was an individual" proclaimed
The Times but a few weeks after his
death, 'less regretted by his fellow
creatures than this deceased king.
What eye has wept for him? What
heart has heaved one throb of unnec
essary sorrow2" And The Times ex-
pressed in those bitter words nothing
less than the popular Judgment
Nor can it be said that William Nv
graced the throne of Britain. Loved
for his homely virtues, he raised a
smile of kindly contempt by his lack
of dignity and his frank misunder-
standing of kingly ceremonial. On the
day Of his accession he escaped from
his council and was found throwing
shillings to a noisy crowd in a back
street, and never did he acquire the
rudiments of tact which should be the
first wisdom of kings.-Blackwood's.

SOUTHERN MoUNTAINEERs.

The Part They Played In the Wal
Between the States.
It is odd to think that the southern
the outbreak of the civil war, although
he was nearly a century old then, and
it is really startling to realize that
when one speaks of the southern o
taineers he speaks of nearly 100000
people who live in eight southern
states-Virginia and Alabama and the
southern states b~etween-and occupy
a region equal in area to the combined
areas Of Ohio and Pennsylvania, as
big, say, us the German empire, and
richer, perhaps, in timber and mineral
deposits than any other region of SIM
liar extent in the world. This region
was and is an unknown land. It has
been aptly called Appalachian Ameri.
ca, and the work of discovery is yet
going On.
The American mountaineer was dis
covered, l say, ut the beginning Of the
war, when the Confederate leaders
were counting on the presumption that
Mason and Dixon's line vas the divid-
ing line between the north and south
and formed, therefore, the plan Of
marching an army from Wheeling to
some point on the lakes and thus dis
severing the north at one blow. The
plan seemed so feasible that it is said
to have materially aided the sale Of
Confederate bonds in England, but
when Captain Garrett, a West Point
graduate, started to carry it out he got
no farther than Harpers Ferry. When
he struck the mountains, he struck en-
emies who shot at his men from am
bush, cut down bridges before him,
carried the news of his march to the
Federals, and Garnet himself fell
with a bullet from q m~ountaineer's
squirrel rifle at Harpers Ferry.-Scrib-
ner's Magazine.

The late Sims Reeves was fond of
telling q story that related to IN early
engagement in Glasgow which was ar
ranged through a metropolitan agency.
One Of the items on the programme
was "Hail, Smiling Morn!" and of
course Mr.. Reeves vas put down for
the solo portion. The chorus consists
of IN echo, and the London agent as.
sured the soloist that a satisfactory
choir had been engaged.
The whole matter was settled hur-
riedly. Mr. Reeves was at first dIsin-
clined to accept, as other engagements
prevented him from reaching Glasgow
In time for a rehearsal with the choir.
Don't worry about that, my dear
sir" said the agent you will find
the choir perfect"
The concert was q success, and In
due course "Hail. Smiling Mornl" was
called for. When the soloist came to
the lines requiring an echo, he deliv.
cred them In his best manner-"At
whose bright presence. darkness flies
away" Imagine his horror when the
echo repeated his words in the broad.
est Scotch:
"Flees AVA. fees awa'w
Yet Sims Reeves averred that not q
person in the audience smiled or ap.
peared to e anything incongruous
When be talked over the matter with
a ballie after the concert, the good man
assured him:
'That's nothing at all. You were q
little wrong In your pronunciation. and
the echo vas correct. You see, 1t was
q Scottish echo."-Youth's Companion.

Wool sales have been very quiet

wool has been brought in and the
buyers have made few purchases.
The London markets opening at a
decline of 5 per cent has not
strengthened the market any. A
number of clips have been con-
signed this week. Those who are
soliciting seem willing to make
quite liberal advances, much
nearer the selling price than here

are inclined to take some chances

PRECIOUS STONES.
The Methods by which They Are
Tested by Experts.

Tho BY "Atch V00y A3O
Tested By Experts.
In a lecture on precious stones re-
Gently delivered before the Industrial
association of Berlin, DR.. Emmanuel
F%riedlaender said that the testing Of
diamonds 10 comparatively simple. The
common test for hardness suflces. II
the stone resists strong attacks, 1t Is
certain to be genuine; If it does not,
the damage is insignificant, as only an
Imitation has been destroyed. This
test, however, is doubtful with rubies.
If a ruby can be affected by q steel
file or by quartz, it is surely not gen.
uine, but such a test with a topaz Is
liable to injure a valuable stone.
The test for hardness Is Of no avail
with emeralds, as this stone is not
much harder than quartz and in add
ton possesses the quality Of cracking
easily.
For examining rubies and emeralds
the optical test is best. A glass mag
nifying about 100 times sufices. Ev-
cry expert knows that almost oil pre-
cious stones have little flaws. Nearly
every ruby and all emeralds have
many defects, which are so character.
istic that the %genuineness Of the stones
is readily established. Such a test is
very necessary with rubies, because
the limitations are very deceiving.
Their color is absolutely durable and
| often much finer than that Of the gen.
uine, although it may be stated that q
somewhat yellowish tint is always sus'
picious.
The only reliable way in which gen
uine rubies can be told from limitations
is by the minute air bubbles of the lat
ter, which become clearly visible un
der the magnifying glass. These an
not to be found in the natural gem
On the other hand, the limitations laci

The Lesson He Wanted.

In his autobiography, up From slav-
cry" Booker T. Washington tells an
amusing anecdote Of an old colored
man who during the days Of slavery
wanted to learn how to play on the gui-
tar. In his desire to take guitar les.
sons he applied to one of his young
masters to teach him. But the young
man, not having much faith in the
ability Of the slave to master the gui.
tar at his age, sought to discourage
him by telling him: "Uncle Jake, I will
give you guitar lessons. But, Jake, ]
will have to charge you So for the first
lesson, 81 for the second lesson and 81
for the third lesson. But I will charge
you only Is cents for the last lesson"
Uncle Jake answered: "An right
boss, ! hires you on dem terms. But
boss, I wants yer to be sure an give m,
dat las lesson first"
