A Word of Defence.

A contributor to The Mothers Jour
nal speaks up in support of the So
called "self-sacrificing mother drudges"
who are represented In the popular
Imagination as working themselves
to the bone in order that their daugh-
tiers may lead lives Of idleness and
luxury. The mother in the kitchen
scrubbing up the floor. while the
daughter in the parlor, dressed in pur.
pie and fine linen, thrums en- tha
piano-somehow it isn't pretty pic.
ture But while the daughter is plen-
teously censured for permitting it,
says this writer, nothing is said of the
son for whom perhaps the mother is
toiling quite as hard to give college
course. AS a fact, however, why
shouldn't mother toll thus for both
her loved ones if she SO desires? If
that is the way, CT one Of the ways,
in which she finds heNhlppiness, why
on earth shouldn't she do it? And
then the article continues: "In the
majority Of 'toiling mother cases the
real fact is that the mothers are un-
consciously selfish pleasure seekers
rather than sacrificial victims. Toll
ing to educate their children and give
them social pleasures and lives of hon.
or is perhaps the supreme joy and
recreation Of their lives. If there is
anyone who really enjoys life and
leads a happy, cara-free existence, II
is the hard working, stay at home
mother who lives in her children. In
them she renews her youth and often
sees the high ideals of her own girl

FIGHTING JOE HOOKER"
Famous SObriquet Acquired Through
the Mistake of IA Com
pOsitOr.

How Gen. Hooker got the sobriquet
of Fighting Joe Hooker" is said by
Sidney V. Lowell, of Brooklyn, 10 have
originated as follows.
Il was reading proof on the New
York Courier and Enquirer, and had
been at work from seven o'clock in the
evening until three in the following
morning. Mcclellan had come into
contact with the confederate forces. and
was pressing them back toward Rich
mond. Our press dispatches from the
front, written with carbon on manifold
sheets of tissue paper, told of desperate
fighting all along McClellan's line
Among his corps commanders was Gen
Hooker, whose command had been per-
haps too gravely engaged Just as the
last page form O. the Courier and En-
quirer was made ready for the press, an
other dispatch came in from the front

perately engaged, and across the top
of the dispatch was written Fighting

HOW THE ANT RETIRES.
Much the Same AZ Human
beings Do.

OF course ants go to bed, and if you
watch them you may see them do it,
says Nature.
An ant hill, you know, is made of tiny
pebbles, which are piled about an en-
trance hole.
At night the ants take these pebbles
in their mouths and, carrying them to
the hole, pile them one upon the other,
as men build a wall.
After the hole is filled up, except one
tiny place at the top, the last ant crawls
in and with her head pushes sand up
against the hole from the inside, thus
stopping it up entirely. Then all night
not an ant will be seen, but about eight
o'clock next morning. if one looks
very closely, one may see pair of tiny
feelers thrust out through the chinks be-
tween the stones. Then an ant push
its way out and begins to carry pebbles
tway Just behind the first comes
another and another, until the whole
family comes journeying out. But an
ant does not sleep through the whole
night; she takes a nap two or three
hours long.
She does not have to undress, but
whenever she gets tired she lies down
on the ground curls her six legs close
up to her body and goes to sleep so
soundly that you could brush her with
a feather without waking her.
When she has had her sleep out she
gets up, stretches her legs and yawns,
ust as you or | might do Then she
washes herself carefully all over.
After that she is ready fol- her days
work again, and busy day she has,
too-tending the babies, making new
rooms or getting food for the big fam
lily.

TWO KINDS OF FINANCIERING.
Simplest of Bank Frauds That Was
successfully Worked by
Scheming Clerk.

Il saw a man on the street the other
day who got away with one of the sim
plest bank frauds i ever heard of" said
a bank inspector who was in New York
on his regular tour OF duty This man
was employed in bank in a city up
state. 1t turned out when the bank
closed its doors that it had been run
very loosely, but that had nothing in
particular to do with this mans opera
tons. He was clerk in the bank and
made up the quarterly interest account.
This was a sheet showing what was
due each depositor for interest. 1t gem
orally ran to three or four sheets. and
the footing of each had to be carried
TO the top OF the next one. Well, about
the third sheet the clerk would enter
the footing properly, then let a drop
Of ink fall on the first column of the
figures. He would let it dry there. thus
observing the footing of the sheet
In carrying over to- the next sheet
the footing that was blotted he would
add $1,000, so that the total Of the report
would show 81 900 more ckargeable to
interest than actually was a charge
against the bank He'd let this report
go to the directors of the bank. with the
idea that if the error was detected he
would account for it by the blot, saying
he had made a natural mistake When
the sheet went through unquestionad he
proceeded to get possession of the 81 900
by opening an account in the name of a
fictitious person and crediting this ac-
count with 81 1000. The banks accounts
were thus forced to balance.
Then by drawing checks on the ac-
count Of the fictitious depositor he would
draw the money out. When we nabbed
him he made confession He had been
stealing about $4,000 a year in this way.
That was the bank" continued the in
spector. where, when the directors
found the hole in the bottom, they fitted
up a presidents Office in magnificent
style. went out and got an ambitious mil
lionaire. showed him the Office, asked
him if he wouldn't like to be president
and then sold him their stock at $3.50

Laborer's sermon TO II Bishop.

Bishop Nicholson, of Milwaukee, has
a story of personal experience to tell to
those who seem swamped in worries. 1t
happened during the first years of his
ministry when he was rector of Phila-
delphia church.
Parish matters, social and financial,
were in a bad way, and Strengthening
them out was slow work. The rector was
distinctly discouraged one day when,
having gone to New York on business,
he stopped to look at the Brooklyn
bridge, then building A man covered
with dirt was working onthe abutments.
THAT is pretty dirty work you are
engaged in" said the clergyman.
well, yes" answered the laborer.
"but somehow we don't think of the
dirt, but of the beauty that is to come
out OF our work.

went back to Philadelphia the better for
it," said Mr.. Observation-Disclosures

EQUATORIAL ICE.
Mountain Heights Where Both Frost
and Snow Are often TO
BE Found.

1t must be almost inconceiYable, even
to many people who have been to the
equator, that within the sweltering bar
barism of the tropics there are places
where there is any quantity of ice and
snow. writes ]. E. s. Moore, in Pear
sons Magazine.
Natural ice, moreover, and not the
dirty apology for which it is manufac.
tured, and regarded now as a necessity
by the white people, who are gradually
crowding into the languid warmth per.
ennial filling the equatorial portions OF
the earth.
Right on the equator there are botf
ice and snow covering wide districts
where, as in an English January mid
night. the air bites shrewdly and it i,
very cold"
The law that as we ascend the air
gets cooler and cooler about a degree for
every hundred feet, holds good in the
tropics as well as in temperate climates,
and thus it is merely a question of the
existence of sufficiently high land any
where to insure the presence of both
frost and snow.
As matter of fact, if we look at a
spherical map of the earth. or a globe.
the line where snow lies perpetual!y
rises in a great curve, which begins at
the sea level within the arctic circles
and rises and rises over the equator to a
height of between 10000 and IA 900 feet.
In the British Isles this line passes
but few hundred feet above the tops
of the Scotch mountains, and it strikes
the Alps about 1000 feet above the sea.
The Alps and the Caucasus. the Pyren-
nees and the Himalayas and the desolate
arctic wastes are always covered with ice
and snow above certain heights and
above certain ATTITUDES: but in all these
eXtra-trOpical regions the snow and the
ice shrink and expand as the seasons wax
and wane, the snow of the arctic extend
ing the winters over wide areas in the
temperate regions, while from the high
mountains the snow fields invade the
deep forests and the cultivated areas in
the valleys every time the winter sets in.
The occasional oscillation of the snow
I lines on the mountains. and in the winter
spreading over the arctic SHOWS and ice,
have each of them far-reaching effects
upon the vegetation of temperate Gil
mates, which affect the forests as well as
the flowers that grow under them for
| they are both covered up with snow. or
frozen out for many months in the year.
II is on account of this circumstance
that we get. in the great ranges north
and south of the equator. what are
termed Alpine florae, or plants. the well
fare of which depends upon their being
/ covered up in deep snow for half the
year, structure having become specially
adapted TO it.
AT first sight we should perhaps ex-
pect that the snow and ice upon the
mountains in the tropics should oscillate
in the same way, but, as q matter of
fact. it is perhaps the most marked
characteristic Of the sweltering tropics
that they continue to swelter, without let
or hindrance throughout the year. the
seasons being simply marked by fits Of
hot drought and fits of equally hot rain.
