In the Eyes of Their Servants.

A great many people live to please
their servants. They save and pincn
in order that they may spread them
selves before butler. maid and cook.
And. poor fools. they do not perceive
that butler, maid and cook thoroughly
understand the situation. But, serious.
ly. trained servants are marvellous
critics. There is a family in our
SWEETEST avenue who will admit that
they also are qualified teachers.
Good manners are acquired by chill.
drcn in imitation of well-bred parents;
they are acquired by scrub adults
through social attrition. Mr.. and Mrs.
f.. who came here from the West three
years ago with barrels Of mined money,
very wisely leaned upon their servants
for that education il good behavior
or etiquette which lad been denied
them in the long period Of :heir pov-
erty. The butler they engaged was
formerly in the home of an epicure Of
great wealth. They paid him $1,000 a
year and q commission on the menu.
One maid was tempted from a leader
of the -Four Hundred. another was i'm.

they do not know when their life is to end,
and therefore assume that they have q

We know that when Agrico,a crossed the
Alps into Germany, fulfilling his emperor,s
command, he kept his little handbag all;
ways packed, that every night he footed,
up his accounts, so that he could close
them upon a moments notice and start at
once with his dispatches for Rome. Every
prudent man ought to lay out his life upon
that basis, and with reference to thorough,

and his Master, be ready for the messeni!

Peril of the Tongue.

'Not that which entereth into tho
mouth de6leth the man; but that which
proceedcth out of the mouth, this deileth
the man." 1t makes a vital and an eter-
nal difference to US how we express our.
selves. A man is in greater danger Of
self-destruction by speaking than by eat
inc. Formerly many French words were
in common use by the Germans, but now
the Emperor's influence is toward the
Substitution of German terms for the
French-the idea being that, as the people
speak, so they will become. This is sup.
posed to beget a higher and more s9hd
patriotic or national spirit-as, other,
things being equal, it must. Statesmen
perceive this truth in the bottom principle
enuncated by Jesus. and thus apply it.
But in our individual lives we often for
get to act on it. 1t harms us to think
evil; it harms us even more to say what
we think. 1t is for this reason that si-
lencc is so often golden. But it IS also on
jhc same general principle that it is worth
while to speak pleasant word-if We can
Go no more.-Sunday-School Times.

CHAPTER XXNNlII.
Continued.

Hilary came into the room While lie
was talking, and the arrangements for
the evenings ceremony were DIS
cussed. Few. if any. OF their friends
were expected 10 be present, aud the
only bridal celebration which they DC
cided to allow themselves was little
supper to precede their departure On
the midnight train. Tile plan was TO
spend the honeymoon among the Con-
necticut hills. When ibis was settled,
and all the words said which seemed to
be necessary, Mr.. Degraw prepared 10
leave. AS he did 50. he cast cne look
at Jenny. She at once came TO his
side
Il have not forgotten she said.
"The ceremony is set for eight. You
will see me a balf-hour before. And.
darling" she had never addressed him
by q word of endearment before. will
you show me one last favor? have
my carriage yet. and it is my pleasure
that you come to Our bridal in it. Do
you object? 1t is the last time it will
be used in my service
"No. Jenny. 1 will ride in it if you
30 desire"
do; it will be at the studio at seven.
Benjamin will drive you; trust him.
She seemed about to say more. bit
though he waited with a smile, 10
further word escaped her lips. She
looked so strangely. so very strangely,
that he hesitated to leave her. and came
back more than once to kiss her lips,
her brow or her cheeks. But she did
not speak. and when be went away at
last, he was conscious of chilling SEN
sation about the heart, which all the
growing sunshine of glorious Sep
tember day failed to dispel.
And yet it was but three hours to bis
bridal and Jenny Rogers had looked
as beautiful as he had ever seen her!

One Meaning Of Pain.

A few years ago mother, carrying a lit
tie deformed boy, entered the Hospital for
Sick Children. After careful examina-'
ton the doctor told her that cure was
possible, but the treatment would be ex.
ceedingly painful, and the child must ba
given up entirely to the care of the nurse,
and himself. Turning to the lad she said nj
You will stay with the doctor and the
nurse, won't you, Freddie"
But he had heard the doctors words and
begged to be taken home. With all 6
mothers skill she argued and coaxed, but
Without avail. Freddie only tightened hia
arms about her neck and begged to be
spared the ordeal. There were tears in the
mothers eyes and sob in her heart as she
plead with him to submit, and told him OF
the coming days when he would be az
straight and strong as others. But it was
useless to argue, for he did not want to be
healed at the price of so much pain. Them,
the voice of the mother assumed sterneE
tone, a tone which the child had never
heard before. Firmly unclasping thefngers
that were locked about her neck, and lift
ing the tear-stained face from her breast
she said: @tl
Freddie, you must stay" and handing
him to the nurse she turned and walked
out of the room. In the next room she.
fell upon q couch and wept with a. bitter
ness that is known only to the mothers
heart. - -
Go to that lad few years hence when

athletes and ask him if it was unkind OF
her to leave him in the hands of the sur,
geon and the nurse, and with eyes. aglow

the heart of father and a mother, too,
permits sorrow to do its work Of fitting
up for the glory by and by. In all our af-

Hnr,ed IN HIS Own Coffin.

The funeral unique from the fact that
the coffin was made by the man who was
placed in it, and because the service was
arranged by the same man, of pr. Jehu
Barr was held at Chicago, Ill. The body
was laid in a vault which he built in the
Oak Ridge Cemetery, and another coffin
of his manufacture was used at bis widows
funeral. Both cofins were painted blue,
with red and white trimmings. DR.. Barr
was sixty-nine years old and an author
and a follower OF Robert G.. 1ngersoll's
atheistic teachings. In Barr's book, ''The
Logical Eye VIII See" were marked pas.
sages, which. by DR.. Barr's direction, were
read at the funeral. The pail bearers
whom he chose all wore badges made by
the author. --.--
