The pIscIpIlnarIan,

There is In our navy a certain rear admiral, agrave. -serious-minded, com scientious. who is an excellent disci- plinarian. But he had his failures, too.
 In his younger days he~was greatly distressed by the carelessness of his charming wife. She had pinned her silk petticeat in the back until. there was great frayed place at the band. She continued to wear the petticoat, however, although her efforts to keep on pinnjng 1t at the fraysd place al- ways evoked a little storm of irrita- tiop and temper.
 In vain her husband urged her to mend 1t. Finally he decided that the only way to reform his wife was to fill her with remorse. So this future commander of battle-ships with his own hands ripped of the old frayed band and sewed on a new one. Then he took 1t to his wife. She was great ly moved. thanked him. kissed him. and left the room.
 Presently she came back. her arms laden with garments.
 Here, are few more far you. dear est" sue said. Put please don't hurry about them. Just nx them whenever you have time"
 And she put seven petticaats on the chair beside him.-Youth's Compan- ion.

FAeTFUL VOTER WAS THIS
Simple Peasant Cast Hi. Ballot to Ae- compartment of Delicious
 Bit of Humor.

The simple people of Alsace, who retain in their hearts a strong love for France at the same time that they are desirous not to offend their German rulers too much, frequently have a hard time of 1t when they are brought to the ballot box to vote for representatives in the German parlia- ment.
 In one election in certain Asa tian district the two candidates were Kable, an Alsatian of French sympa- thies, who had protested against the annexation after the war of 1870, and German. On election day peasant came to the polling place, which was presided over by German official. The peasant had in one hand ticket :on which was printed the name of Kable, and in the other a ticket bear ing the name of the German candi- date.
 ''Mein, Herr," he said to the German election official, twill you tell me which of these tickets is the better one?"
 The officer looked at them. "Why, this is much preferable" said he, in dicating the Germans ticket.
 "Ah, I thank you" answered the peasant. q will keep it next my heart" He folded it carefully and put l; 1t inside his coat. "As for this other, then," said he, with an air of putting 1t away from him as an unworthy thing, sI will leave it here."' And he put the Kable ticket in the ballot box.

Meant Their Work to Last.

Some of the early stones of Welsh slate in New England burial grounds show very fine carving, evidently the product of English rather than Colonial workmen. The enduring quality of these memorials is evident on a comparison between them and other stones put up at much later date. In one of the old yards at Billerica, Mass, many of the stones of 7mid-eighteenth century dates are badly sealed and partially illegible, while the oldest stone in the yard, dated 1884, shows no serious effect of weather and others almost as old are equally plain; practically un- changed after two centuries of expo sure to the New England climate.

q ONE ONE asked me the other day
if ali French women in real life
made as many motions and ges-
ticulated with their hands as much as
they seem to on the stage.
L said, Yes. when their hands are
pretty and wen cared for" And II she
is at al vain. she sees to it that they
are.
1t is impossible to say too much on
this subject, because while every face
needs Individual care, and it is impos-
sible to advise people how to dress, i'm
lees one sees them there are certain
rules for the care. Of the hands which
are quite simple, and which all people
can follow.
In the first place, I think we wash
our hands too much, especially in win
ter. It would be q great saving to the
texture Of the skin Il every woman who
had to handle dusty articles would wear
gloves. A pair OF large, soft suede
gloves are the best The woman who
wants TO keep her hands soft and
white must not expect to use them to
do rough work with, and then think she
can whiten them at a moments notice.
During rehearsals at the theater, when
every thing is dusty, I do not remove my
gloves unless absolutely necessary, and
make II rule to wear large, comfort
