Too Familiar.

When staying in the Sandwich Is
land I had an amusing experience
with my Hawaiian servant. Now,
these servants insist on calling you
BY your first name. Ours was always
saying to my husband, "Yes, John,
and to me, Every we'll, Mary - etc.
So when we got a new cook I told
my husband to avoid calling Mary,
as then, ,aot knowing my name, he
would have to say "missus" to me,
So John always called me "sweet-
heart" or "dearie,' never q" Mary y
but the watchful fellow gave me no
title at all.
One day we had some officers to
dinner, and, while waiting for the
repast, I told them Of the ruse I had
adopted, and added, "by this servant
at least, you won't hear me called
Mary" 49,
Just then the new cook entered
the room. He bowed to me: "Sweet-
heart, dinner is ready"
"What9" I stammered, aghast
at his familiarity.
''Dinner is served, dearie,' an
swered the new cook.

The Road to Fame.

A Southerner noted for the; iber-
ality Of his tips stopped at Balti-
more hotel where negro porters pre-
dominated. His name was speedily
known to every member Of the serv-
ing fraternitya and his every wish
anticipated. Soon after his arrival
he sent his card to friend who
made his home in the hotel, but
whose temperament happened to be
quite the opposite of that of his
open-handed caller-retiring, not
given to t'tipping,' or any other
form Of socialibi1ity. and who there
fore lived almost unknown to those
about him.
The old "darky" who received
the card studied it for a full min
ute.
" 'Scuse me, colonel,' he said,
"but I don't b 'leebe nobody by dat
name come here dis mawning.''
"This morning!' returned the
other. "Of course not! Mr.. Blank
has lived here for months. You know
my name we'll enough, and I haven t
been here a day. Do you mean to
say that you can't remember a man
who has made his home here since
last winter?"
" 'Scuse me, colonel, sah,' began
the old man deferentially, ''but you
must know, sah''-as if uttering the
subtlest compliment-'dat lat dere' S
eemmans what can make dem>els
more notorious in one day, sab, dan
odder gemmans does in year, sah!'

Getting Married and Staying %.

Editor Herald and News: It is sell
dom we have such treat as we
enjoyed "wednesday evening, IN the
]. J. way 1ss Of {. a lecture by Rev. c. Lewis
Fowler, of Clinton, from the sub
iect, Chow to get married and stay
sou =,
He was listened to with great IN
terest and pleasure by an appreela-
tive audience, who heartily sympa-
thize with those who missed it.
Bro. Fowler as always, -delved to
Z the bottom of his subject, beginning
with the divine origin of marriage
5 in the Garden of Eden, where God
united Adam and Eve in holy we'd
lock. He paid a beautiful tribute to
woman declaring her to be Gods
erowning triumph Of creation and re-
eretted that "Fashion" should mar
her beauty. (But where is the man
who doesn't want his wife to wear
"rats" and "squeezers or any
thing else that will give her style?)
He told Of the different customs
and modes Of courtship and mar
rage in other countries. The early
Christians in Rome had most beau
tifully solemn and impressive mar
riage ceremony. They were never
"unequally yoked '>together,' but
each loved the other 'Ein the Lord. -
He spoke elequently and forceful-
ly on the evils Of too early marriage.
Marriage on ''puppy love- results
in separation and divorce, while to
wait. too long is often at the expense
of a pure manhood and good morals.
Matrimony should be regarded as
a holy and divine ordinance and
. should be preceded by prayer and
serious thought by all who eontem-
plate taking the step. And to "stay
married" it is absolutely necessary
that the husband "court his wife as
earnestly and sincerely as he did
when she was his sweetheart. -
It was an inexpressibly grand and
forceful lecture all the way through,
interspersed with many extremely
funny and side-splitting illustrations,
and will not soon be forgotten by
people of West End Baptist church
and others who attended.

First American paper Maxine.

The first attempt to manufacture
paper in the United States was made
in 1890 by William Rittenhnuse and
William Bradford, who established a
paper mill at Roxborough, near Phila-
delphia. The paper was made wholly
of linen rags. In ITO William de Wers
erected second mill in Germantown,
and third, which was erected in TIA
on the Chester creek, furnished Ben
jamin Franklin with paper. BY 1910
the number Of paper mills in the Uni.
ted States was estimated at 1876, near
~ every state possessing one or
more. In 1890 there were nearly 700 of
these mills, manufacturing printing,
writing and wrapping paper, with a
capital of $97,OOO,OOO. The manufac-
ture of straw pulp for paper manufac-
turing was introduced in 1854, and of
wood pulp in 1857. The census of 1900

Training Of Children.

Treat the child more as an equal
not as hopeless inferior. There
isn't much need of coming down TO
his level as of giving him all OI,por
tunity to come up to yours--which will
not require such a frightful effort Oh
his part as you sometimes imagine IF
you can get child to recognize and
treat you as his equal you will have
gained the highest possible position
of influence over him and earned H. b,
best and sincerest compliment ever
paid you. We dwell greatly upon
what parents teach their children. but
We forget to record in equal detail on
the opposite side Of the ledger what
our children teach us. 1t would be
difficult to say on which side the bal
ance would be found to fall. The child
is not merely the ideal pupil but also
the greatest teacher in the world.
The lessons that we learn from him. if
We approach him with proper hui
mility, are the most valuable part of

Most Lamentabie Fact.

A woman shoplifter who had passed
the Psalmist's allotted period. and
who had a long record Of offenses be-

other day, and In the printed accounts
much was made of her years, as If age
and misdemeanor were strangers. AS
matter OF fact. among women, youth
and disdemeanor are strangers If. we
make the test of the matter the fact
Of falling into the laws clutches.
More than half the women offenders
Of New York are classified in the re-

Blackwell's Island workhouse during

30 years old. About one In Is Of the
number were legal minors. Disorder

WOMAN MADE HOME AT kABUL.
Aged Mrs. Lincoln's Wanderings
Among Oriental People.

A singular romance Is related in
connection with the announcement in
the Irish newspapers Of the. death,
at kabul, Afghanistan. Of Emily. widow
of Henry Simpson Lincoln.
Some twelve years ago young In.
dian Mohammedan studying at the
Royal College of Surgeons al Dublin
resided with Mrs. Lincoln, who was
about 70 years Of age. When the
young Indian finished his studies she
determined to accompany him back to
India, and left the Unitarian church
for Mohammedanism. In the course
of time the Indian obtained a position
in Kabul as secretary to the amir OF
Afghanistan, and there Mrs. Lincoln
followed him, Drawing the formidable
journey from Lahore to Kabul by
horse and palanquin, although about
so years Of age.
Arriving at Kabul she was obliged
to live in the retirement: observed by
Mahommedan women, and saw the
young Indian no more, though she was
allowed to talk with him unseen.
Her last letters to her Dublin
friends told of loneliness beyond ex-
preston and of her belief of ap-
preaching death. Almost immediately
afterward came a telegram stating
that she had passed away.
