ArtfuI pariaian Rsnnars.

Partisan beggars have been
known TO 90 far beyond a sham
fight with a deg in the gutter for a
crust. Maxine du Camp has record
ed how, on ,an August Sunday in
1887, at an hour when the quays
were crowded, a shabby man uttered
cry of despair and threw himself
into the Seine near the Pont de
Palma. He had sunk twice when
a man in workmen's clothes plunged
in, swan after him and effected an
apparently difficult rescue. As the
crowd surrounded the two on the
bank\the rescued one slowly came
to, reproached the rescuer for saw
ing hopeless, workless man, who
had not eaten for three DAYS, and
tried to rush off again, crying, 'Let
me die" The rescuer pulled out
half franc, saying: "Take this. !
shall only have to go without dinner
today" And of course the crowd
literally followed suit. But the skep-
teal police Swallowed the two, saw
them count up the spoils in a tav-
ern and presently arrested the two
eX-convicts, dead drunk. = London
Chronicle.

Again and again the custom is asked,
can woman. follow any special call
ing, and be a good mother? Love is
born, so is good sense. The woman
who has those qualities will be a
good mother, whether she is hand
worked or head-worked. 1t is not
difference in station or occupation
that makes the good mother-it is
the spirit. furthermore, some ofthe
best'mothers, according to the old
standard, women who to toll early
and late, who never leave their homes,
who deny themselves every comfort
and give up to every right, have the
worst children. They do the hard :
est work, they wear the poorest
clothes, they try to save their child
rem from every hardship, only to
learn, when it is too late, that they
have made them idle and selfish.

FASHIONS.

A new fancy for the decoration of
blouses to be worn with tailor-made
suits is a shallow yoke and stock of
heavy crocheted silk of loose mesh
and the same color as the material of
the blouse.
Among the newest trimmings for
black MORE and velvet hats is wheat
of both the silver and gold variety
mixed with MORE ribbon of aigrets.
The stalks of wheat are formed into
stify arranged aigrets on some of the
hats and look very pretty.
There is some favor shown toward
white yokes, especially of tucked
tulle on collarless gowns of black vel
vet or satin. But with colored
yoke looks well. Upon blue cash
mere de sole blouse, for example, a
crocheted yoke of the same lolor
looks charming with an elbow puff
sleeve and crocReted silk used up the
forearm in two bands and round the
puff.
Hats are more modest appearing
than they have been in several seas
sons. Toques and turbans are the
favorite shapes for walking hats.

The Other WAY About.

A benevolent looking old gentle
man was walking along the street
when he came upon an irate parent
lecturing his offspring.
"Now, You young rascal" said the
angry father, "cut off home, and be-
fore you go to bed tonight I'll give
you good whipping"
The old gentleman mildly remon-
strated. EMg dear sir, perhaps I
have no right to interfere, but re-
member the wise old saying, let
not the sun go down upon your
wrath"
Don't you trouble yourself about
that" was the reply. 81 won't do
anything Of the sort. Oh, no! What
Pm going to do is to let the wrath
descend upon the son."-Judge.

A FACT PLAINLY STATED.

If girls were educated to take care
of themselves, they would not be so
read to marry, and they would marry
better, and there would be less
|trOuble-fewer divorces. If they
were brought up to work, they
would know how to use a broom, the
i-pter and the rolling pin. There
e certain qualities which are just as
.luable in the housekeeper and the
mother, as they are in the business
man-skill, intelligence and good
sense. When those qualities are
rated little higher in woman, dem
este machinery will run a good deal
smoother, and children will be
brought up to fight their own battles
and earn their own bread. We all
know what that will mean-less
crime, fewer paupers. The press
and the loom instead of the scafFold.

BOUND FOR THE FRONT.
An incident Showing the Military
Courage Of the Mentenearin.

In military courage the Montene-
grin probably stands at the head of
European races. The best wish for
a baby boy is. '9iay you not die in
your bed" and to face death is to
man or boy only a joyous game.
Says W. ]. Stillman in his "Autobii-
ography::"
l have seen a man under a heavy
Turkish fire deliberately leave the
trenches and climb the breastworH.
only to expose himself from sheer
brayado.
While lying at headquarters at
Oreabuk, awaiting the opening Of
the campaign in 1877, I was walking
one day with the prince when a boy
of sixteen or eighteen approached
US, cap in hand.
''Now," said the prince, 'T1l show
you an interesting thing. This boy
is the last Of a good family. His
father and brothers were all killed
in the last battle, and l ordered him
to go home and stay with his mother
and sisters that the family might
not become extinct"
The boy drew near and stopped
before US, his head down, his cap
in hand.
''what do you want?" asked the
prince.

But" said the prince, @you are
the last of your line, and l cannot
allow a good family to be lost. You
must go home and take care of your
mother"
The boy began to cry bitterly.
"Will you go home quietly and
stay there" said the prince, cor
will YOU take fogging and be al
lowed to fight:
The boy thought for a moment.
a tiogging, he knew well, is the
deepest disgrace that can befall a
Montenegro.
WELL he broke out, "since it
isn't for stealing, I'll be logged"
NO." said the prince, ''you must

Keep Accounts.

Keeping accounts, simple in form.
plain. clear and easily understood.
showing amounts due to or from
Others, entering correctly the dates
on which money is paid out or re-
ceived, is the best plan to avoid dis
putes about money matters and re-
ieves the memory of many unnec-
essary burdens. a written record
of a money transaction has greater
legal value in case Of controversy
in court than any verbal statement.
The habit of keeping accounts in
duces economy in expenditure and
inspires the habit of saving up, be-
sides showing at all times a correct
financial condition. Housekeepers,
mechanics and all who handle mon
ey in the management of their per
sonal affairs Will find it most profit
able to form the habit of keeping
accounts.

Eben did not answer for a mo-

E'The stores never been the same

A faint little flush came into

street where the store was. Ali Of a
sudden she stopped. Ahead, on the
pavement, stood Eben. A tray
hung from his neck, on which were
arranged few cards of collar studs,
some papers Of pins and shoe laces.
Two or three holders were in his
shaking old hand, and as he stood
he called his wares.
Martha clutched at the wall of
the building. She looked over the
way at the little store. Its win
dows were filed with fruit, and an
italian name fiuttered on the avn

store had gone to pay her expenses.
She turned and hurried away as
fast as her trembling limbs would
take her.

How Painter Lawrence Got His Start

How Painter Lawrence Got His Start.
Sir Thomas Lawrence was one of
the great portrait painters in Eng
land. His parents we're poor, his
father being a country innkeeper.
One day Lord Shaftesbury's father
and mother stopped at the inn, hav-
ing their young son. the future lord,
with them. In conversation the
innkeeper spoke OF the genius of his
boy in drawing and wished them to
test it by picture of their son.
They assented, thinking to crafty
fathers pride, but not looking for
any evidence of superior talent.
The boy came in modestly with
chalk and paper and in a few min
utes had drawn a picture of their
son, on which the parents looked
with wonder. They recognized the
genius and promise Of future great
ness and befriended the young art
ist, giving him the help needed to
develop his wonderful gift.
