Better on in tho Kitcben.

ION the whole, the atmosphere Of
the kitchen would have been better
for these children than the society Of
their parents" says Martha S. Dinsley,
in Everybody's, of the third family
with whom she lived as nursery gov
erness. When the family were to-
gether after dinner the drawing room
was wrapped in gloom; the family
feelings were sore and bruised from
Mr.. Sartain's verbal blows, while he
sat silent, deep in the paper or some
French or German publication.
Below stairs, where l reiaxed from
the trials of the day, Karl gave us
a digest of the daily news; the laun-
dress fairly dubbed with anecd0te
and wit, and the rest of US did our
little best, as we fingered over our cof-
fees. Here were at least cheerfulness,
courtesy, kindness and fair intelli-
gence. Karl's generously impaired, if
limited, store of knowledge would have
amounted TO more to Warren and
Edith than did all their fathers intel
lect and information kept selfshly to
himself.
Had the children belonged to Karl
and Clara they might have learned bad
grammar and a surprising accent; but
they would have lived in an atmos-
phere Of love and have been taught
truth and consideration toward the
world at large. They would certainly
have stood for better things in the
community as the honest, sober. in
dustrious offspring of butler and a
cook than as the inheritors of riches
linked with discord and dissipation"

his little daughter grew.
After that the old man tried to think
no more, but be content. To let the lit
tie scenes of dancing. and of asking, and
of listening, and of looking puzzled, and
of waiting to know truly whether all
was earnest, and of raising from the
level of papa's well-buttoned pocket
clear bright eyes that did not know a
guinea from halfpenny; and then, with
a very extraordinary spring, the jumping
into opened arms, and the laying on of
little lips, and the murmurs Of delighted
love-to let his recollections of all these
die out, and to do without them, was
this old mans business now.
To this belief and mild incline of gen.
tie age, his head was bowling and his
white hair settling down, according as
the sun, or wind, or clouds, or time of
day desired, when some one darkened
half his light, and there stood Mary
Hookham.
Mary had the newest of all new spring
fashions on her head, and breast, and
waist, and everywhere. A truly spirited
girl was she, as well as a very handy
one; and she never thought twice of a
sixpence or shilling, if a soiled paper
pattern could be had for it. And now
she was busy with half guinea, kindly
beginning to form it's impress on her
moist hard-working palm.

Are Ynn Too PInmnS

How to become slender! Let the
maiden inclined to embonpoint follow
this advice and her form should be-
come as willowy as she could wish
Rise early and take a cold bath, rub
bling vigorously afterward with a
coarse towel or flesh brush. Take a
cupful of water before breakfast. Take
one small cup of tea at breakfast,
some dry toast, boiled fish or a small
outlet. and a baked apple or a little
fruit. At dinner, which should be at
midday, take white fish or meat. dry
toast or stale bread, vegetables or fruit
(either fresh or stewed; for supper,
toast, salad, fruit and six ounces of
wine or water. Hot water with lemon
juice in it is also good for supper.
When you have followed all these
rules and find yourself fairylike in
proportion then you may begin to con-
template smart clothes such as only
the slender can wear.

Break the Engagement.

T.ere are few of us who do not adj
mire and applaud the girl who is con-
slant and true--no matter what the
circumstances may be-to the man
who wins her hearts affections. We
delight TO read the stories of poets and
romancers, which tell of a girls con-
stancy-how by remaining true to her
Prince Charming" she helped to
overcome all obstacles 10 their union.
and perhaps won back her lovers af-
fections, when he was inclined to de-
sert her for the charms and fascina-
tons of another girl. And should we
become acquainted with such a girl in
real life We hold up her constancy as
an example for all members CT her sex
TO follow
1t may sound rank heresy TO say SO.
but 1t is the greatest pity in the world
that constancy of this character is SO
extolled. Not that the girl who re-
fuses to be shaken in her allegiance TO
the man she loves, and ultimately
leads him to happy life by her true
heartedness, is undeserving of admira-
ton and praise. The fault lies in the
fact that by holding up such a case as
a spl,udid example to their sex, many
girls get exaggerated notions and
ideas as to how far constancy should
pe practiced in love affairs.
The result is that they are very
often foolishly constant. They do not
temper their love with common sense.
The reader may smile, and say that
love is blind and Gusts common sense
from the average girls mind. But in
many cases this is only because she
possesses false, romantic and senti-
mental ideas as to what girls duty is
to the man she loves.
Many girl has ruined her LIES
happiness by remaining true to a man
quite unworthy of her affections,
through mistaken sense of duty.
ing betrothed themselves to a man,
persist in marrying him, although they
are fully aware that, to a certain ex-
tent, their affections have been alien
ated from him by another man. Such
an act cannot possibly be regarded as
constancy, although some girls may
think it is the embodiment of that vir-
tue. Rather is it the duty of the girl
under such circumstances to break her
promise and pledge.
An honorable girl must see that to
keep a promise to marry a man after
Il I
partly or wholly gone, is to commit a
grievous and irreparable sin. Better a
thousand times a broken promise than
two ruined and broken lives.-Home

Seven years ago the American people
dropped a great load of anxiety. Fifty
years had gone by since they had
known foreign war, and generation
had passed since they had left the bat
tie field. And the supreme issue of ma
tons was y the balance between them
and Spain. Seven years ago on May L
George Dewey struck that issue from
the balance. He steamed into Manila
Bay as Horatio Nelson had sailed into
Aboukir Bay 100 years before, and won
complete victory. From the techni-
cal viewpoint Manila was not an epoch
making battle says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. With the American people 1t
replaced uncertainty by confidence.
All chance of attack on our Pacific
coast was removed by the first blow.
And that blow proved the mettle of
our men and Spain's. 1t made sure
the victory off Santiago. Best of all,
it showed that the line of Paul Jones
and Decatur and Perry and Macdon-
ough and Farragut and Porter and Da-
Wis was not extinct 1t proved that
this people still had with them the
great naval commander, ready to meet
their need

Cream will not drip from a pitcher
on the tablecloth if the nose of the
pitcher is rubbed with butter.
Butter win remove almost any kind
of stain except ink stain. Rub it into
the stain, then wash quickly in hot
water with a fine soap.
Strawberry stains wash out in clear
cold water. Some kinds of grape juice
wash out in the ordinary way, but the
others must have boiling water bath.
Do not allow white gloves to be-
come too much soiled before having
them cleaned. They have to be rub.

A Mothers Obligations.

The mother can do much to influence
the appearance and the mental and
moral status of the unborn. This has
been proved over and over again. The
prospective mother should think beau
tiful thoughts, should surround herself
with lovely pictures. Her heart should
warm with gladness and joyful antici-
pations. To indulge in anger, grief.
fear, anxiety, to treasure rebellious
thoughts against existing conditions,
is to rob the coming child of a proper
birthright and is a form of selfshness
whose record will be written upon Il
human being. Often the physique
shows these prenatal impressions in
piainness of feature, lack of vitality or,
hidden deeper in the recesses of the
brain, of contrary impulses and
thoughts, which will develop with the
growth of the child, to bring sorrow
and reproach upon the parents later in

you were great deal too clever to allow
any room for accidents"
Women think so. Men know better"
the lawyer replied sententiously. And,
Miranda, you forget that l had as yet no
personal interest in the question. But
Wnen L happened to have a Portuguese
gentleman as client-a man who had
spent many years in England-and hap
pened to be talking Of our language to
him, told him one part of the story,
and asked If he could throw any light
on 1t. He told me at once that the name
which had so puzzled me must be Cello
hios--a Portuguese surname, by no
means common. And the next time /
was in town, Il had occasion to call in
St John street, and found myself, almost
by accident again, not far from the COM
pany's Offices"
'Mr. Sharp, you left such thing to
pull down that dreadful woman's inso-
lencer'
my dear, it is not the duty of my
life to mitigate feminine arrogance. And
to undertake such a crusade, gratis!
am equal to a bold stroke, as you will
see, If your patience lasts-but never to
such vast undertaking. When it comes
before me, in the way of business, nat
urally l take it up. But this was no
business of my own; and the will was
proved, and assets called in; for the old
rogue did not owe one penny. Well, l
