NO WOMAN.

There is lawyer with an Office in
the city who is famous among his
friends as a man who never loses his
temper or allows his language to stray
from the path of propriety.
He was desperately busy the other
day, when a female book -canvasser
entered his private Office, and, as she
advanced from the door, announced
her mission:
''I should like to show you very
valuable work." she began.
Madam" said the other, as he
rose from his chair, 'you must ex-
cuse me. I am very sorry, but at
present am engaged"
Evidently the agent had heard
something of the kind before, for she
did not pause in her progress towards
the lawyers desk.
Madam" he repeated, ''I am en-
gagged at present" ;"
Still the agent came on.
Madam p cried the lawyer in
desperation, II am engaged-and if
you don't go away you will force me
to be what I have never been before
guilty of rudeness to woman"
That settled the agent. Probably
the very vagueness of the threat
helped to set her to retreating.
But like true woman she had the
last word-and several of them-just
as she vanished through the door.
ST amt woman she said, "I'm
a 1adv,"

HE HIRED A SUBSTITUTE.

This story is told at the expense of
a recently appointed supervisor of a
public school in Philadelphia. One
day she happened to be visiting a
school where a young incorrigible
was undergoing punishment for
series of misdemeanors.
The teacher cited him as ''the
worst boy in the school-one I can't
do anything with. I've tried every
thing in the way of punishment"
"Have you ever tried kindness?"
was the gentle inquiry of the other
lady.
''I did at first" she said, "but
I've got beyond that now"
At the close of the session the
lady asked the boy if he would call
and see her at her home on the follow
ing Saturday. A boy arrived prompt
ly at the appointed hour. The lady
showed him her best pictures, played
some of her liveliest music, and set
before him luncheon on her dainti-
est china, when she thought it about
time to begin her little sermon.
"My dear boy" she began. "were
you not very unhappy to have to
stand in the corner of the room be-
fore all the class for punishment"
Please, ma'am," broke in the
boy, with his mouth full of cake,
that wasn't me you saw. That was
Pete, an he gave me ten cents to come
here an take yer jawing."

GROWS YOUNG AGAIN.

"Toothless and cappy," " the young
woman's description of her venerable
grandmother, would be singularly in
applicable to Miss Rose Perkins, of
Huntington, Mass. AT the advanced
age OF eighty-fve Miss Perkins finds
that her hair, which has been snow
white for many years, is beginning to
turn black She is also beginning to
of renaissance began about seven
%, ---i.~.. he- <yesieht.. which
had failed her several years before,
was suddenly restored to her and she
threw her glasses away. Since then
she has had no use for them.
So excellent is her eyesight, indeed,
that she has just completed large
bedquilt composed of nine stars, each
star containing the enormous number
of 278 diamonds.
If Miss Perkins does not find old
age the toothless, miserable existence
it is reputed to be, neither does she
find it period of superhuity. Sheis
smart" as they say in New Eng
land, about the house, aids materially
in the housework and delights in read
ing and sewing. She attends church
with a regularity that is enough to
shame the younger generation, walks
about town on little shopping expedi-
tions, visits her neighbors, and is as
cheerful and lighthearted as girl Of
sixteen. Indeed, she says she feels
as if her girlhood were returning to
her, but supposes it is only that sec
ond childhood people talk so much
about.
Her mind is perfectly clear and
her memory is good. She not only
recollects events of her girlhood days,
but keeps we'll in mind the more re-
cent events. Instead Of living in the
past she takes an intense interest in
the present, and she is an entertain
ing talker. She says she cannot ac-
count for her white hair turning back
to black or for the third set of teeth
which she is cutting, but fancies that
her strong determination not to be-
come an uninteresting old person may
have something to do with it.

once or twice week, all winter, that
he does in harvest time? We would
pronounce him too loony to live with !;
and l have no doubt men have some
such idea of women who wear habby
frocks when ice and snow prevail.
Woolen goods do not soil like cot
ton, and everything almost but grease
can be readily got out of them with
out washing. IT women would cul-
tivate gentle, accurate movements
they would not sling grease and suds
over themselves as some do while
working. God made the sheep and
pronounced it very good. Let us
avail ourselves of the winter comfort
its fleece affords. Many children
would have fewer colds if they were
better supplied with comfortable
clothing-hoods, mittens, stockings
and caps included. The heads and
ears of the children are not properly
protected. 1t is more the lack of
protective headgear that has given
this country its reputation for catarrh
than the climate. If mothers could
be persuaded to drop off some of the
ornamentation of their children's
clothes, and use the time obtained in
attending to their bodily comforts,
the gain to both would be enormous.
A fine furbelowed dress adds nothing
to the sweet simplicity of childhood; /;
theirs is the sort of beauty that when
"unadorned is adorned the most"
However plain it may be, a sweet
clean dress, well adapted to the child's
needs, is the quintessence of good
dressing for children.
Flaunting hats and feathers over
gray hairs are conspicuous indications
ofa weak mind !; fine silks and velvets
and laces on the children point to the
hard road that many a man must
take to pay off his mortgage. 1t is
not the good dressing that bows the
back of the breadwinner and leads him
to an untimely and perhaps dishonor-
ed grave.-Ma.y Sidney, in Farm
Journal.

THE AGE OF REPTILES.

At different epochs during the time
known as the secondary period the
surface of the earth seems to have been
SO predominantly peopled with reptile
life that it has been called "the age
of reptiles. The huge iguanodons
stalked or leaped about in the wealds
of Sussex and Hampshire. Of these
iguanodons marvelously complete
skeletons are to be seen (mounted in
attitudes of life } in the Royal museum
of Brussels-a sight in itself sufficient
to induce visit to that capitol. 9th
er smaller reptiles browsed on the fo-
liage of the then existing plains and
were pursued and preyed upon by
fell reptillian monsters of various
kinds. The sea also swarned with
reptiles (ichthyosaurD as aquatic as
the whales and dolphins of our own
day. And not only were the earth
and seas thus peopled, but there were
different kinds and sizes, known as
pterodactyls.

PLAsrERED THE WRONG MAN.

Il know drummers are regarded as
proverbial liars" remarked one of
the travelling fraternity in a Broad
way hotel. "Ive been guilty of
drawing the long bow myself, but
here's All actual experience that hap
pened to me coming down on the
sleeper from Montreal one Tuesday
night.
81 had a lower berth about the
middle of the car. In the next sec
ton were couple who were having
troubles of their own. The husband
suffered with a lame back (this
learned subsequently,, and for that
reason occupied the lower berth,
he was 4 gritty old 81 'etaP, and Kept
me awake until we'll in the morning.
Finally I fell fuI0. uvzS, as.d sLe
last thing remembered was the wife
telling him she was going to get up
and prepare plaster for him.
The very next minute it seemed
to me-although in reality it must
have been longer-the curtains of my
berth parted and female voice said
Turn over, dear, and let me put this
on your back. I was dazed for a
moment and did as she directed Then
it suddenly dawned on me that the
woman was in the wrong section and
had clapped the plaster on my back
instead of her husbands
~ reached around and tore the
plaster off. AS threw the thing out
on the floor l heard voice ask:
"Well, Mary, where is that plas-
ter?'
"There was a shrek from the old
girl, and then she climbed into her
own berth. 4 put it on some ones
back, John, she said. The old man
grunted and then began to use Ian
guage. 1 got up before daylight and
went to the smoking car. 1 met the
old man and his wife before we reach
ed town. She looked at me sus-
piciousIy, but l didn't blink. ."-Mew

WITH his ENTIRE APPROVAL.

T. v. Powderly, formerly commits
ner-general of immigration, tells a
story that was repeated to him by one
of the inspectors.
1t appears that certain German
immigrant, just after landing in this
country, became very friendly with
the inspector in question. AS he re-
niained in New York, where he was
employed by one of the big hotels, he
visited from time to time the inspec-
tor, who had put to him the usual
questions upon his arrival in New
York.
When the period of FIVE years res
idence in the United States requisite
to the obtaining of naturalization had
passed, the Teuton sought out his old
friend, the inspector, with inquiries as
to what steps it would be necessary
for him to take to obtain his citizen
ship papers.
Sohis friend gave him the necessary
advice, and, in spirit of friendliness,
promised to go with the German to
the judge to whom application for
naturalization was to be made.
The interrogatories were asked,
among which was:
"You have read the Constitution of
this country?"
No, your honor" responded the
German, stolidly; "no, l haf not read
der Constitution but my trent
Krause he haf read it to me. Und I
wish to say dot 1 liked it fiery much.
1t is ferry nice, your honor, und l fiery
much pleased NIT it ~
The judge granted the necessary
papers.

PLAINTIFF Was AFFECTED.

The case being argued was old
Farmer Closegrip versus railway
company for damages sustained in
collision.
The old mans S counsel was making
a pitiful appeal to the jury.
Gentlemen of the jury" he said,
"just gaze upon the true, honest,
time-beaten face of my client. and
suppose he had been fatally wounded !;
think of the sad blow that his loving
wife and little, innocent children
would have to receive; but, thank
Heaven, it was not so bad as that.
"But, oh, how he must have suffer
ed during the long days of Eis ILL
ness! How the heart-stricken COM
panion of his life felt when they
brought him home, bruised and man
gled Now tell me, shall this poor
old man go down to his grave maim-
ed and helpless creature without some
aid from the cause of his affection !"
During this delivery Closegrip was
noticed to be very much agitated,
and, rising as the advocate finished,
he sobbed:
"My lord, 'scuse my breakin' in,
but I must speak"
go on" commanded the Court.
'I didn't know it were so bad as it
air till the gentleman thar sot down /;
an eff yell let me, I'll-pll-" here
he faltered.
you'll what?" asked the Judge.
"Just raise them 6ggers on the rail-
way to few pounds more-make it
thousand instid o. FIVE hundred,
won't ye, my lord!"

A HUNDRED YEARS TO COME.

Where. where will be the birds that sing,
A hundred years to come?
The flowers that now in beauty spring,
A hundred years TO come
The rosy cheek,
The lofty brow,
The heart that beats
So gayly now;
Where, where Will be our hopes and fears,
joys pleasant smiles and sorrows tears.
A hundred years to come
Who'll press for gold this crowded street,
A hundred years to come
Who'll tread yon aislee with willing feet,
A hundred years to come?
Pale, trembling Age,
And fiery Youth.
And Childhood with
It's brow of truth:
The rich, the poor, on land and sea,
Where will the mighty millions be,
A hundred years to come?
We all within our graves will sleep,
A hundred years to come;
No living soul for US will weep,
A hundred years to come;
But other men
Our homes will fill;
And others then
Our lands will till,
And other birds will sing as gay.
And bright the sunshine as to-day
A hundred years to come.

WANTED TO MAKE A SWAP.


Henderson county, S. c., is noted
tor moonshine whisky and horse
traders, according to the Butte Inter
Mountain. There is hardly a man
living in the county who will not
stop on the way to church and swap
anything from his horse and buggy
to pocket-knife.
A traveller was journeying through
the county one day, and had occasion
to stop at gate to water his horse.
A native ploughing in the field hailed
him with:
"Say, pardner, want to trade
hosses?"
"No, guess not"
"How will you trade buggies? 1
got road kyart at the house that
I'll trade you."
"No, don't care to trade"
'I'll trade coats with you.'
ttIt's no asS.''
Lets see yer pocket-knife. "
Haven't any,"
''You are the hardest man l ever
seen to git trade outen. I'll trade
britches with you and give you ten
cents to boot, jest to make a trade"
mo, your trousers are too big"
whats the difference, so long as
you git boot?"
II guess we can't make trade to-
day, my friend"
"I'll tell you what I'll do, pardner,
l jess got ter make swap, kase you
are the fust man that has passed here
today. If don't make trade, pap
will put me to work in the shingle
swamp an send Ezra out here to tend
to bizness. What kind of socks you
got on? I'll trade you mine.''
"But you haven't any on"
"Oh, they're over thar in the jam
of the fence, where I put 'em to dry.
1 got 'em from the parson, yesterday,
an they're store boughten."
Don't want to trade.
"Well, eff you won't trade, I'll run
you foot race to see eff give you a
drink of corn Ticker or whether you
buy quart from me. Any man that
won't do that hain't got a drap of
sportin' blood in his veins"

EVOLUTION.

She sketched husband strong and brave
On whom her heart might lean;
None but hero would she have
This girl of II.
Her fancy subsequently turned
From deeds of daring do;
For brainy intercourse she yearned
When she was 20.
The years sped on, ambition taught
A worldly wise design;
A man Of wealth was what she sought
When she was 20.
But time has modified her plan;
Weak, imbecile, or poor
She's simply looking for man,
Now she is34. London Punch.

| those who have never had personal ex-
perience of canine devotion in this de-
gree, and, perhaps, are accustomed to
value dog life cheaply.
How can one best immortalize such
noble qualities as those of that Scar
borough terrier? Could those devo-
ted animals who have died of grief
themselves say, it seems as though
they would have us be faithful to all
their kith and kin, as they themselves
were faithful to us.
One more steadfast friend is dead.
No costly sculpture with gilt inscrip-
tion is expedient to perpetuate his
memory. Rather let the money go to
some good dogs shelter and let us all
remember the supreme affection of
this Scarborough terrier by exercising
more thoughtful regard for all the
canine race.-LOndon Exb,ess.
THE BOY AND WHAT TO DO WITH HIM.
Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the
Treasury, does not con6ne himself to
finance in his thinking or in his pub
lie utterances. He recently gave
these expressions, in response to an
inquiry, on most important subject
the Boy:
It may always have been so, but
it is especially true today that the
world is producing higher type of
womanhood than of manhood" he
said. "In all our towns and cities
are more young women whom you
would welcome to your homes as
daughters-in-law than young men
whom you would welcome as sons-in-
law. There are reasons why this is
so, but there is no excuse. There is
nothing in the world so we'll worth
looking after as the boy, and there is
no being in the world SO neglected as
the boy. There is little place, scant
room for him. He is welcome in the
home as baby and he is welcome as
a man, but there is scant welcome for
him as boy.
eve chaperone our girls-and not
loo carefully-but we leave the boy
to choose his associates and his en-
vironments, with much advice and
very little guidance. Girls are natur-
ally winsome, gentle, companionable,
and they win their way to and are
welcome in all homes. But I do not
know of many homes where boys are
invited. About the only door that
swings with sure welcome to the boy,
about the only chair that is showed
near the fire especially for the boy,
about the only place where he is sure
of a cordial greeting is where you do

''It is about the hardest thing in
the world to get hold of boy-to
get a sure grip on him. 1t is pretty
hard to win the companionship of
your boy. You think you know
something about him, but perhaps
that is very little. Very likely he
knows more about you than you do
about him. Yet that boy is hungry
for companionship, and he will have
boys. Nothing will take It's place.

schools. If permitted to they will
quit the public school if given moth
ing but young girls as teachers. They
may remain under the tuition of ma
tronly women, but not under the tut
tion of girls. 1t is not question of
who is the better teacher. 1t is a
question of companionship.

ceed in finding the boy, it will be be-
cause the boy succeeds in finding
