The ExactiOua OF London Society


and the1r Destructtve Tendencies.
London World, July4.l


When the tolls of professional ex-
istence are temporarily suspended
those of social life begin. The sue
cessful lawyer, clergyman or doctor
is given to understand that he owes
duties to society which he cannot
escape. If he wishes good prac-
tice OF q select congregation, he
knows that he must be "Seen
about" if, when these blessings
have come, he wishes to retain
them, he knows that he must be
seen about still more. When Lord
Selborne was plain Rounded Palmer
he seldom enjoyed fair nights rest
in the London season. No man
ever more appreciated the profes-
sional need Of social ubiquity (;
and the consequence was that
after the park, dinner, opera
or reception were ended, the
eminent lawyer contrived to satisfy
exhausted nature with brief nap
on u couch. When it is remem-
bered how strenuous and trying the
life of society is, how exacting what
are called the claims of society are,
the heayiness of the tax imposed on
the prosperous professional man
will be seen at once. Society is
alone u business of overwhelming
magnitude. There is no end to its
work ; no lull in its feverish ambi-
tions and jealousies no considera-
ton given to tho rudimentary laws
of health in its daily and nightly
round. The amount of sleep which
it allows itself is absurdly in
sufficient; the breakfast with
which it fortifes itself for the day
has gradually become as unhealthy
meal as the genius of indigestion
could conceive. Pate dc foie gras,
sardines, hot mullins or toast
what dose for a jaded stomach i!
That is not the worst. There
is tendency to make the English
breakfast at nine o. ten o'clock a
bad imitation of the; French de-
ieuner at noon. The cup of tea or
coffee is taken in bed, and with the
meal whose constituents have been.
already described, light claret or
claret and water is drunk, on the
preposterous plea that it is a cool
ing beverage, The dejeuner, which
is really an early lunch, is an intel
ligible and healthy meal; but the
breakfast of English society, as it
is too often taken, is neither, and
is simply fatal to nervous and diges-
tive power. After breakfast comes
the promenade in the park, with
the accompaniment Of a broiling
sun or a cutting wind; sometimes
just enough of both to neutralize
the good of either. TO the park
succeeds lunch; meal as labored
as dinner, unless it be that fish or
soup is usually eliminated from the
programme. Garden parties, con.
certs, afternoon teas, park again,
under the same atmospheric in
fluonces as before--these fill up the
hours till dinner at eight or nine,
and after dinner society start
afresh for the evening campaign,

way of sound health, which society
deliberately raises up for itself, may

ger. A secret is not good thing for
a girlto have. The fewer secrets
that lie ins the hearts Of women at
any age, ths better It IS aliaos Us
test Of purity. She who has none Of
her own is best andShappiest.


In girlhood hide nothing from
your mother; do nothing that if dis.
covered by your father would make
you blush. When you ire married,
never never conceal anything from
your husband. Never allow your.
self to write a letter that he may not
know all about, or toreceiye one that
you are not quite willing that he
should read. Have no mysteries
whatever. Tell those about you
where you go and what you do.
those who have the right to know, 1
mean, of course.


A little secretiveness has set many
scandal aAoat; and, much as is said
about women who tell too much, they
are much better off than the woman
who tells too little, A man may be
rcticent and lie under no suspicion;
not SO woman.


The girl who frankly says to her
mother: 81 have been here, l met
so and SO. Such and such remarks
were made, and this and that was
done," will be certain of receiving
good advice and sympathy. If all
was right, no fault will be found. If
the mother knows, out of her great
experience, that something was i'm
proper or unsuitable, she will, if Ishe
is a good mother, kindly advise
against its repetition.


1t is when mothers discover that
their girls are hiding things from
them that they rebuke or scold. In
nocent faults are always pardonedby
kind parents.


You may not know, girls, just
what is right, just what is wrong,
yet. You can't be blamed for making
little mistakes, but you will never do
anything very wrong if, from the
first, you have no secrets from your
mother.-Christian at Work.

The new law in reference to the FORE
closure Of mortgages does not meet with
much favor where its provisions are nnder-
stood. The principal objections urged by
the State press is the increased cost: but
there is another objection Of greater weight.
1t restricts the loauing Of money on bond
and mortgage, especially for small amounts,
by making the collections subject to laws
suits, not at the instance of the mortgagor,
whose rights were amply protected under
the old law, but in every case, even where
there is no contest whatever. There are
not many men who will be willing to lend
one, two or three hundred dollars, with the
certainty Of being forced into the courts
whenever there is default ID payment. The
new law, like usury laws, and other legis-
lation intended for the special benefit Of the
borrower. in its practical working will be
detrimental to the interests of that class, by
increasing the difficulties of obtaining mon
ey, and it will not be surprising if tho.
"Grangers' clamor for its repeal a. soon as
they have had opportunities Officiating its
operation.-Pioneer.


The "Grangers" had nothing to
do with procuring the passage of
this law. 1t is one of the products
OF that class who glory in calling
themselves "reformers." The Da-
kota county senator was, we believe,
its originator. That it is an unwise
law and one calculated to deeply in.
jure such farmers as are poor and
in need of assistance in the way of
small loans, no one can doubt, but
it is hardly fair for the Press to taunt
them with its enactment, because it
was introduced by a man who
claims to be their champion. The
vote he received for congress in
this district last fall ought to con-
vince everybody that that gentleman
is not authorized by the farmers of
Minnesota to speak in their behalf.

The settlement of the ques-

serious considerations. existing to
prevent an immediate establishment
of peace and harmony and the ini-
tiation Of MIR. Hayes policy OF
practical reform. If any of the
leaders of the factions in the above
mentioned States are prompted by
patriotic impulses, it will become
easy for them to put an end to ex-
listing troubles; and if any one Of
them shall refuse to make sacrifices
for the public good, it follows that
they are unworthy Of the positions
to which they aspire. We have
such entire confidence in the fair
ness and wisdom of President
Hayes and the advisers with which
he has surrounded himself that we
have no doubt they be able to
speedily discover and apply a reme-
dy for the difficulties, which shall be
generally satisfactory.

"A correspondent asks our opin-
ion about the usury law We can
truly say that we have none. The
experience of the world proves be-
yond dispute that usury laws al
ways operate to the disadvantage of
the borrower, and aid an unprinci-
pied lender to impose upon his vic
TINS. Money is an article of COM
merce, and its price can no more
be regulated by law than can that
wheat. Suppose that the legisla-
ture was to pass were making it
an offence to take more than, say,
eighty cents per bushel for wheat,
is it not probable that farmers would


find some method for evading it :?
And if penalty were provided for
such evasion, that they would de-
mand enough more for their wheat,
when the demand greatly exceeded
the supply, to compensate them for
running the risk Of the penalty +?
The borrowing Of money is matter
of bargaining between the party
wanting and the party lending; and
the only way te avoid high rates OF
interest is for the government to
provide suficiency Of currency to
meet the demand Of trade. - .''"@

 and stable government. I know that it is unpleasant to be poor, from experience, But to say that labor shall force capital to sHccumb is perfectly ridiculous Why what would become of even Us poor farm CTS of Arkansas, if it should be deemed right and lawful for every thief and tramp that comes along, to walk in to our houses and help themselves? Why it would knock the very bottom out of our once great and glorious government, and in few short weeks there would be nothing left but one grand mass of ruins.

 Supply and demand is the great law that must govern. If those poor strikers are not willing to work for the pay they get they should quit and find other employment. We have a vast country here yet that Is very thinly settled and they could all find homes in it if neces- sary, and good ones, too, if they only wanted to. But 1t seems that they wish to throttle capital and make it divide; we will admit that there has been too much money used by some of our bloated and pimped politi- clans in our Legislative Halls, and they are the ones if any that are to blame for this disgraceful strike. We can't blame the strikers only for being so ignorant as to follow some of tbose soulless politicians.

 If we and the strikers would al ways look ahead and send honest men to represent us, the bondholders and corporations would stand a very poor chance to use their money to have legislation to suit them. And just as sure as coming events cast their shadows before, then just that sure will the war between the un- principaled politicians and the hon est people of this government come. and when it does come, may God protect the unprincipaled politician, for the people will not. <. <. *.
