BEING LADYLIkE.
Boston Pilot

One often hears it said that bust
ness Office is not parlor and that
parlor manners cannot be expected,
yet the fact remains that where they
are practised they are almost invar-
iably appreciated.
One of the stenographers in a GER
tain large Office was distinguished by
her charming manners, which were al
ways those of the drawing room, and
by her sweet womanliness and refine
ment. She sometimes spoke wonder
ingly of the unfailing and chivalrous
courtesy with which she was treated
by her associates in the office, seem
ing scarcely to realize that she re-
ceived what she gave, and that her
attitude called out the best in them.
A comment made by the cashier to
his assistant indicated the feeling
with which she was regarded The
cashier, while usually good-natured
and pleasant, had times of irritability
when he lost his temper easily and
was apt to be sarcastic and disagree.
able to those about him. Speaking
of the stenographer, he said: ''She is
the only one in the office that I can't
quarrel with" She was so thorough
ly the lady that he would no more
have thought of quarreling with her
than with the ladies whom he met in
his own home or the homes of his
friends.
With many young women the bust
ness experience lasts only few years,
and then they go back into home life,
or into social life where the sweet,
lovable, womanly qualities are worth
far more to them than the pert smart
ness which is so easily picked up
where one comes into daily contact
with all sorts and kinds of people.
While free and easy manners may
make one seemingly popular with a
certain class of people, the admira-
ton that is best and most lasting be-
cause it is founded on respect is given
to the girl who keeps herself quiet,
dignified and ladylike.

HER FIRST COMMUNION.

A little Belgian girl was preparing
to make her First Communion. Her
father had been killed in battle, and
her mother was very sad You can
im9 gine how troubled she must have
been, but the thought of receiving
Our Dear Lord filled her heart with

This act of humility little Annette
performed very thoroughly, even ask

years old; Joseph, burst into tears.
you have never been naughty or
unkind to me-" he cried, land i love
you, Annette" neaa
Later, he was heard talking to him
self:
ut was so beautiful" he said.
When Annette crept into her
mothers arms, and told her how
much she loved her, and how sorry
she was if she had been dlSObedient
or idle, her mother cried, just as did
little Joseph, but for another reason.
"How happy your papa would be
tomorrow, said the mother, IF he
were here and with us to see his little
Annette receive the good God"
"But, mamma, he will be with us"
said Annette. Since he is in Heaven
it will be quite easy for him to come
and even if we do not see him we
can feel that he is looking at me, and
asking God to take care of his little
girl and keep her good. If it was
last year, when papa was at the front,
of course, he couldn't have come, but
now, mamma, feel God will let him
be there"
The mother dried her tears and
kissed the little comforter, whose
childish faith was so trustful and con-
soling.

SCENTS, COSMETICS AND PAINT
BARRED.

There has been much talk the past
few months about passing laws to
govern woman's choice of dress,
thereby reducing unnecessary ex-
penditures. Should such laws be en-
acted they would not be the first of
their kind in this country, according
to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Puritan
New England boosted of many laws
concerning finery, not only for women
but for men. Here is a law of the
Massachusetts colony passed in 1884
that seems to cover the field:
The court, taking into considera-
ton the great, superfluous and I'M
necessary expenses occasioned by
some new and immodest fashion, as
also the ordinary wearing of silver,
golde and silke laces, girdles, hat
bands, etc., hath therefore ordered
shall hereafter make or buy any ap-
parel, either wooden, silke or lynen,
with any lace on it, silver, golde,
silke or thread, under the penalty of
forfeiture of such cloth
mo man or woman shall make or
buy any slashed clothes other than
one slash in each sleeve or another in
the back, also all cut work embroid-
cred or needleworke caps, bands now
worn under the aforesaid penalty;
also all golde or silver girdles, hat
bands, belts, ruffs, beaver hats are
prohibited to be worn. Men and
women shall have liberty to wear out
such apparel as they are now pro-
vided of except the immoderate
create sleeves, slashed apparel, i'm
moderate great rayls, long wings, etc.
This order to take place fortnight
after the publishing thereof"
And here is a law of the colony of
New Jersey which went into effect a
| little later: ,os
"All women of whatever age, rank,
! profession or degree, whether virgins,
| maids or widows, who shall after this
act impose upon, seduce or betray in
to matrimony any Of his majesty's
| subjects by virtue of scents, cosmet-
les, washes, paints, artificial teeth,
false hair or high heeled shoes, shall
incur the penalty of the law now in
| force against witchcraft and like mis-
| demeanOrs."

ARE YOU THE MAN?

Are you the same you that you
were before you married? Do you
think the same thoughts, dream the
same dreams, have the same ideals,
the same hobbies, the same hates and
dislikes? Oh, are you the same old
you?
If you are the same old you, you
can count your marriage a big sue
cess, writes Fay Stevenson, but if you
are another you then you can count
it a great big failure No matter if
you think you are better you, if you
had to kill the old you and lose your
personality in your marriage then
your marriage has injured you. If
you are the same your marriage has
not killed your ego.
If marriage has made you like the
woman who was out dining with her
husband and, asked whether she would
take tea or coffee, said, IF my hus-
band takes tea I'll take tea, and if my
husband takes coffee, I'll take coffee, y
you have no personality. Marriage
is not a case of both thinking and act
ing alike. A man marries you be-
cause you are you; a woman loves you
because you are you; we'll and good;
continue to be that you to hold her
love. Don't change; be yourself!
Because woman changes her name
she does not have to change her soul
And because man has wife he does
not have to become another man with
different thoughts and different tastes.
If people do change they have COM
mitted personal suicide; they have
hampered their lives and become
other people.
Tie you that makes your character
is the you of. your ancestors. 1t has
been forming for years, and are you
going to lose that precious you of
generations because of marriage?
How many girls give up their love
of music because they are married?
Where is the musical you that existed
in them? How many men give up
their reading because their wives do
not read much? Where is the literary
you that existed in them?
If the girl can go right on with her
music and play better in ten years
than she did before her marriage she
is the same girl with the same taste
that she had before her marriage
And if the man has will enough to
keep right on in his course of reading
that he had before his marriage he
is the same man that he>1was before
his marriage. Marriage cannot harm
such couple; they are the same peo-
pie and they have the same tastes.
The you in them of generations has
lived. They still maintain their
precious individua1ities.
Do you work as well and are you
as ambitious as you were before you

THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR.
HIS FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL,

She led him slowly to the garden
gate,
But mothers heart was heavier
than his own,
AS on his arm she laid his book and
slate.
1t seemed as if her little bird had
flown
Away forever from her outstretched
arms;
That she would never know his love
again
But o! he must not know of her
alarms,
So mother struggled to conceal her
pain.
She saw the teardrop in his bright
blue eye,
Beheld the culver in his baby face
While manfully he stroye to check the
sigh,
AS though it might her loving kiss
efface.
She must not know,-he thought
that he was sad,
Although his cheek felt strangely
white and cold;
For he must try to be a manly lad
He had forgotten was six
years old!
And as she watched him wander
down the lane,
Tears dimmed the disappearing lit
tie form:
Strange mother-tears, commingled JOY
and pain,
Lest from her arms too soon hi
might be torn.
And SO she dashed away the falling
tears,
And tried in vain her flushing cheel
to cool,
The while recalling that life's cares
and fears
Began for him today-his first a
school!

An old friend of mine celebrated

An old friend of mine celebrated
his silver jubilee. There were many
gifts, of course, but l recall one par
ticularly from the Ex-Governor. 1t
was twenty-five beautiful roses.
| used to wonder how that man had
gained his high position. The roses
told the story. In all his varied occu-
pations, sufficient to tire out score
of men, he took care not to let that
occasion pass without sending his of
fering. He was one of those who
remember.
1t is a strange thing that most of
the men who had earned enduring
fame, whose figures loom up in history
! like colossi, all had marvellous
memory for names and faces.
Caesar never forgot anyone. NapO-
leon knew his soldiers by name.
O'Connell was as much at home in the
| western counties of Ireland as in the
| House of Commons. Once he met a
| man he knew him always.
Go over your records and you will
| find that the men who have been
loved by thousands, the men for whom
soldiers have gladly died in battle,
| the men who have built up waste
places, like Mr.. Hill, were all men who
| had in their hearts a niche for the
lowliest of their friends.
1t is not a trick, knack of re-
calling past associations. 1t is some
thing deeper than that It's root is
| sympathy.
The gift of sympathy like any other
gift may be developed. The trouble
with the majority of folk is that they
throttle it instead and concentrate
their efforts blindly on their own
selfish advancement
Real advancement is not selfish; it
brings not merely the principal agent
but many others along with it. The
self-seeker does gain something but
each such gain costs in public senti-
ment and disapproyal far more than it
is worth.
Doubtless "he travels fastest who
| travels alone" but he finds only lone
illness at the end of the road. They
who really win, win not only for them
selves but for others. They who at
tain success that is satisfactory are
! the prodigals of sympathy, the men
and women who in the fierce race OF
life always have time to pause and
assist the halt, the blind and the lame
That is the secret of power. Moth.
ing can take it's place. Organization
money, eloquence; all have their part
in aiding a man to gain eminence, but
if one wishes to have large numbers
of men to follow him he must get
down to the individual.
Every man is a distinct personality
to God There is in really great men
a reflection of this cosmic sympathy
Everything makes an impression on
them. Ambitious reformers fail be-
cause they rate men in masses.
If you wish to succeed in any walk
of life, be it as a grocery man or as
statesman, paste this sentence in your
hat, and look at it every morning be
fore you go out: IF you want to win
remember"

TODAY.

We shall do so much in the years to
come,
But what have we done today?
We shall give our gold in a princely
sum,
But what did we give today?
We shall lift the heart and dry the
tear,
We shall plant hope in the place
of fear,
We shall speak with words of love and
cheer,
But what have we done today?
We shall be so kind in the afterwhile,
But what have we been today?
We shall bring to each lonely life a

But what. have we brought today?
We shall give the truth a grander

We shall feed the hungering souls of

REM EN- 5ERlNG.

You often hear the expression:
"That fellow has hosts of friends;
people will do anything for him; how
does he manage it," The answer is
easy. He remembers.
Had Burton written an Anatomy of
Insult instead of his fearful tome on
Melancholy, doubtless he would have
pointed out that the worst insult one
man can give another is to forget him.
1t is mental assassination.
For the same reason the very
flower of compliment is to remember
one who thinks he has been forgotten
long ago. 1t is as if you carried all
these years some little keepsake he
gave you as boy.
Years ago knew slightly an emf.
nent man. He had been Governor of
the State. He had a large law bust
ness. He was deep in politics. He
was one of the busiest men in the city.

married? This applies to men more
than women. The average woman
works better after marriage, whether
she is the same you of her ancestors
or another creature changed by the
bonds of matrimony. Man sometimes
works better and then sometimes be-

PACKING GOLD IN KEGS.

When a gold shipment is to be
made by ship the necessary number
of kegs are taken in a truck to the
assay office, where they are received
at door in the rear The gold bars
are then placed on hand truck and
rolled to the kegs. In the presence OF
the agents of the shippers and of the
officials of the assay Office the bars are
packed in the kegs, and sawdust is
placed around them to. prevent abra-
sion. When the heads of the kegs
have been placed over the packed
bars piece Of red tape is stretched
across and fastened between the chine
and the edge of the head. The seal of
the shipping house is then attached
to the head and the bottom of each
keg.
After sealing the kegs are rolled to
the wagon and lifted on. 1t takes two
men to handle each keg, as there are
ten bars to key, with total gold
weight of about 100 pounds. 1t may
be mentioned that 100000 weighs in
gold about $50 pounds, and 100000
weighs $500 pounds. Some time ago
one of the officials of an assay office
compiled figures showing how much
gold a man could actually handle.
1t is a singular thing that great
difficulty is experienced in carrying
gold for any distance. The weight
seems to be more dead" than that
of other metals, although that may be
an illusion.
For instance, the average man
could carry 100 pounds of gold one
mile without much discomfort It's
value would be about $4,000. A
strong man could carry, say, 100
pounds a mile, reaching the end OF
his journey with just under $4,000.
A very powerful man might carry
200 pounds, or nearly $4,000, a mile
without exhaustion. Carrying gold is
almost as difficult as getting it.
