TOLERANCE, NOT A VIRTUE.

Many good people unfortunately conceited and dogmatic in their own opinions, and there are many worthy and amiable persons who admire ! their own opinions, habits and conduct that they never tire of forcing them others. An example of this is cited by exchange, which tells story of of the best fathers in the world who in his youth contracted the habit of rising at five o'clock in the morning. If ever there any necessity for his do ing this--and doubtless there was-t has long since passed away. He is rich and retired from business, but he still quits his bed at the stroke of five He likes to do it and that being so, there is why he should not do So far good. But he + has daughters and and he compes them rise before six o'clock. There is sound reason for their getting up early except the fathers command He says that no respectable man woman ought to be abed after six o'clock He gets up at five and he says the children ought to be ashamed to sleep while their aged father is dressed and stirring They argue with him about the matter. but he will not reason. The young people of today, he knows. not sturdy and industrious the young people in his day. He has lived long life and is quite sure that his children teach him nothing. He sighs for the elder generation and mourns that the old stock of manhood and womanhood is degenerating. His con- tention, of course, is preposterous. He is merely slave to habit. If he had been trained to rise noon he would make a virtue of it. There is no essential reason for getting up early in the morning. The thing is to get up in time to do ones work, whether commences work at seven o'clock at ten. Sloth consists not in lying abed beyond certain hour but in lying isirbed more than reasonable number of hours. The man who goest bed at midnight and gets up at eight is otany azer or less sturdy than he who goes to bed o'clock and gets up at six The early rising habit is superstition. It is more >important to get sleep enough than to rise early
 People who have ideas of what is virtuous and be- z coming in conduct and behavior at liberty to practice, fem. They may select their friends, if they are that na rrow, among people of like ideas. But they have right to impose their system of virtue on other persons.

tale of what the season now upon us

Lace of every description, from the
finest blonde makes to the coarsest
specimens of crochet and guipure,
adorn practically every model, from
the boating serge or linen to the gor-
geous toilettes for ambitious summer
festivities.
In materials the choice is wide, but
there is no doubt that the best frocks
are made of souple fabrics that lend
themselves admirably to tuckings,
gaugings and beautiful stitchery, such
as fastidious women demand. Voiles
of various makes and in all shades

much worn in the coarser makes of
voile and hopsack, just clearing the
ground at the back with that becom-
ing tilt which is so essentially French.

SOME MUSICAL CATS.
one Used the Telephone, Another
Played the Piano and Third
Was II Guitar Virtuoso.

One particularly interesting cat that
/ knew had long life. He had reached
the advanced age of Ia years. He was
not blue-blooded cat, but simply a
plain, black cat, without pedigree, and
bore the plebeian name of Tom, but he
often displayed high degree of COM
mon sense, and sometimes of reason.
In the house he lived in was a speaking
tube of the ordinary kind passing from
the upper to the ground floor. On one
occasion Tom was left alone in the
downstairs room, the doors of which
were closed. Desiring TO get out of the
room, and having no means of opening
the door, he climbed upon a chair near
the speaking tube, erected himself
upon his hind legs, steadied himself by
placing his paws upon the back of the
chair, placed his mouth to the tube,
and began whining and mewing into it..
In this attitude he was found by his
young mistress, who came into the
room at the moment that he was try
ing to call some one to his aid.
Tom had evidently observed that the
tube was used for such purposes, and
that some one usually came in re-
sponse to it. He did not know enough
of its mechanism to remove the plug
or to use the whistle, but he certainly
showed that he knew something about
the use of the instrument and as far
as he had ever seen into the mystery
used it accordingly.
There lives at this day in New Jer-
sey a cat whose tastes are esthetic, if
not cultured. She answers to the
name of Bonny. While she is the pet
of all the family, she is especially de-
voted to the only daughter, who is a
young lady of some 30 summers, and
she is equally devoted to the cat
Bonny is fond of music, and is per-
haps the only one of her race that per-
forms upon the piano. This she does
of her own volition, and apparently for
her own pleasure, for she is shy of
performing in the presence of
strangers; but while alone or in the
presence of her young mistress she
does not hesitate. Bonny seems to
have a clear sense of the fitness of
time and place, and never interrupts
