THE DEMANDS OF FRIENDSHIP.
Steadfast Effort Is at the Base of Every
 Noble Relation.

Life, after all. Is compact not or things, not yet Of activities, tasks and pleasures, but, above all else, of the intricate relations in which we stand to other men: many and various, ma jor and minor as these may be. there yet remains not only an aspect of con duct suitable to each, but definite choice as to the plane of exalta ton upon which relationship shall be held. Exaltation Is a level many fear, and, like all heights, 1t has its dangers; the vision may easily swim and the thoughts grow heady, but when we contemplate the sordidness and con- monplaces which paint in dull drab the recurrent days of average life, We grow to feel that even a fall from dizzy height may be better than the weary dragging of the feet across dusty plain.
 Probably the first condition of a noble relation is effort. No one has ever yet drifted into nobility. No one, sad as 1t may seem, has ever achieved a fine and lasting friendship, com plete marriage, a close and helpful bond of parent and child, without a conscious struggle. For a fine rela- ton shoots out beyond the necessary and the obvious duties, decorates It. self with works of supererogation These are the tasks that man in love instinctively performs. That is state of divine enthusiasm where the set limits of duty seem hopelessly meager expression of the surplus emo ton. But being in love, like all en- thusiasm, is of the spirit, and the wind of the spirit bloweth where 1t listeth, and cannot be counted upon to abide. The gift of such visitation of emotion is a chance and casual conner to poor mortality, though doubtless if this were paradise each human being would perennially be in some such fervent frame of mind toward every other being. But under earthly con ditions 1t sets the nerves to irritated tingling, and by Its very unwontedness sets the brain to inventing rhymes. To follow Eros for his loayes and fishes is not feasible as permonent pursuit, and the true task Is to turn the spontaneous glow of feeling into a steady current of ready sympathy and acceptable seryice.-Harper's Weekly.

A TRICK OF THE TRADE.


 Colonel Grimshaw, one of whose daughters was about to be married, decided that among other presents he would give her fine sewing machine. With this purpose in mind he stopped at salesroom while on his way home one afternoon and inspected the latest and best styles of machines, but thought it best not to be in a hurry, and went away without having made a purchase.
 A day or two later his daughter sur prised him by telling him that a man had called at the house and left sew Ing machine as a sample, promising to call and take 1t away again if the lady of the house did not wish to buy 1t
 But it's just exactly the kind want, papa" she said. of you are going to give me a sewing machine, would rather have that one than any other"
 Well, child" he responded, then we'll let it stay"
 The next morning he called at the address given by the man who had left the machine. It was the sales room he had visited a few days be- fore.
 Its all right" he said, land I'll take the sewing machine, but would you mind telling me how you managed 1t? live a dozen miles from here, and you had no possible means of knowing who I was"
 T haven't the slightest objection to telling you" replied the proprietor, "inasmuch as there's nothing to be ashamed of. When you left here the other day I sent my boy after you. He saw you enter your home, made few Iudicious inquiries in the nelghborhood, and found that there was going to be a wedding in your family before long. The rest was easy"
 The colonel paid for the machine and took his departure, more firmly con- yinced than ever before that the man who succeeds in business is the man who knows how to hustle. Youths Companion.

Retain a Husbaud's Love,

We know 1t Is easy enough to win a husband. Almost any attractive lit tie maiden with a bright eye and coax 1t Is more difficult to retain his love. The great difficulty Is to draw out his true nobility and secure it at home. If the wife only understands her business she can do this. Most men like to be loved and soothed There earnest nature that can be won quicker and easier with gentleness than by the logic of the broom handle. We have seen girl who under stood her business take a man and lead him through life in such a way that he wouldn't know but that he was managing her. So perfect was the delusion that, when she asked Linn to bring in a scuttle of coal, he hl- ways went, and he felt as though he counted it a mark of special favor that poor, unworthy creature like him should be allowed to do 80.
 We cannot exactly describe this magic power of devoted wife over her husband, and we do not ntand to try. A man need not think that be- cause he gets up and looks for bur glars in the night. and is otherwise obedient, 1t is because he has no back bone. It is simply because he Is the husband of a woman of whom he ought to be proud.
 Let her once forget however. that her husband does what she asks be- cause it is a request, not command, and there will be trouble

eloquent appeal to the other jealous whlgs convinced them that they should not swerye from their plan of carrying the rock to q place in the town square.
 "The portion that first fell to the ground belongs to us," he cried: and that We will transport with all care and diligence to its proper home"
 Twenty yoke of oxen drew the Whig section of Plymouth Rock up the hill, amid the shouts of the throng that pushed forward around the liberty pole which was to mark the new site. The ceremony of dedicating the rock in its new position was very impressive, and the people stood with barred heads. and in reverent tones chanted their high pitched psalms in token of thanksgiy- ing.
 In the town square this part of Ply mouth Rock remained for more than half century, when a committee of the council resolved to move 1t back to its original position, and join 1t, AS best they could, to the other half. Ac- cordingly in 1S34 on the morning of the Fourth of July, the Plymouth Rock had been reunited in all seriousness to its long-esranged portion, and the union made complete by mixture of cement and mortar.
 To-day four granite columns support a canopy of granite that offers Ply mouth Rock an indifferent protection against the rain and the sun, and serves to keep back, in some measure, the thousands of sightseers .lat come to Plymouth with only one object in view, namely, to press up around the iron bars, and to gaze through them at the revered rock, on which they see the single inscription, cut in the middle of it's face in long, plain fig ures, "1620.'
 The rock Is surrounded by higb iron railing composed of alternate boat hooks and harpoons, and inscribed with the illustrious names of the forty uen who drew up the Pilgrims com- pact on board the Mayilower that No vember day as they sighted the coast that henceforth was to be their home.

Civilization Is the work of the kicker. There can not be too much intelligent and honest kicking. The kicker is the motive power of progress. IT It had not been for him humanity would still be living in caves, wearing skins and going out with a stone hatchet to Kill something for dinner. The world nev- CT has received an impetus from the man who Is satisfied with things as they arc. A Chicago philosopher was once so profoundly impressed with this truth that he declared that every man who reaches the age of 5 should be taken out and executed because, as he alleged. men of that age become satis- fed with the status quo and thus act as a clog upon the wheels of progress. This, of course, Is an extreme view Of the matter, but the principle which It embodies Is correct. Kicking is an- other name for dissatisfaction with ex- isting abuses-either active or passive and kicking Is consequently the agent of reform and progress. Coming from generalities to particulars. 1t Is absolutely, true that the American peo- pie suffer because they are ayerse to kicking. When the Englishman is bull dozed by policeman. robbed by cab man or overcharged in a restaurant he kicks-vlgorously, manfully, success fully. The result is that the English man, living under an "effete despot- ism," Is emancipated from a thousand petty impositions, impertinences and downright steals to which the citizen of this enlightened republic submits with bitterness In his heart, but no en- ergy in his legs. He confounds kick ing with "squealing," which is very different thing. There Is nothing weak or unmanly in standing up for one's rights. There are, however, encourag- ing symptoms of the rise of a kicking movement. More people kick against traditional impositions than ever be- fore There are kicks against the tip" against official insolence and against the various forms of common injustice and roguery. The American citizen is awakening to the power of the kick ju- diciously employed. When he becomes fully aware of 1t there will be an im- provement in a whole lot of things which are now passlyely accepted as necessary and irremedlable nuisances and impositions.

In spite of the standing joke about the weather man, 1t is probable that for every dollar spent on the weather bureau S1o are saved. At the time of the Mississippi flood of 1897 S15 5,OO0,- 900 worth of live stock and other valu- able property were saved as a result of warnings issued a week ahead. Signals displayed for a single hurri- cane have detained in port vessels val ued, with the cargoes, at S20,OO0, ,0OO. The West Indian stations, established in 1898, informs us of hurricanes as soon as they begin. The course of the hurricane that caused the Galveston flood was charted for a week before 1t struck our shores-for hurricanes move slowly. Eighty-five per cent of the forecasts now come true, and by the aid of rural free delivery 25OOO,- GOO forecast cards were distributed last year to farmers, many of whom could not have had them five years ago.

A Successful Economy.

Her oak dining table was laid with three large hemstitched squares, plain and beau tlfully laundered, instead of a cloth, and with its simple centerplece a small feathery fern growing In a shallow jardiniere was delightfully."- simple and attractive. Afterward. referring to her lunch cloths, I asked where she found that particular brand of linen and my hostess laughed outright.
