A Little Sermon on the Tempestuous Wo
man--Various Dots on Interesting
Subjects.
*l'he home atmosphere, says a writer
in the Brooklyn Eagle, is so largely de
pendment on the character of the mis
tress that she ought often to think of
how she can increase her influence right
in her own family circlee How many
. L
homes are totally ruined by a fault-find
ing, tempestuous, discentented woman,
a type altogether too common, even in
cery well-to-do abodes. Why, I spent %
. iissummer in a family where the
ctful peevishness of the mother, never
«rained, had permeated her whole
,nner, her voice being the most disa
;reeable 1 ever heard. When something
nusally apnoying happens the rest of
the family sneak off in different direc
tions to avoid the stormy scenes which
they know will follow.
Envy, temper and discontent are in
consistent with every day or common
place happiness,and it is such a sad sight
1, see what might be a happy home circle
ruined by the disposition of* one person.
The envious, disgruntled type sees noth
ing ever in her own surroundings to cause
happiness. She is always comparing
her lot with another’s and wishing she
might have the belongings of larger
wealth. The only way to have a happy
Lome is for the presiding genius there to
learn to make the most of all it offers, to
make the home interior as comfortable
and charming as means will allow, to so
live herself as to draw out the best traits
of ler husband, her children and her
friends. To do this day after day she
must try herself to be a lovely character,
to guard against those common faults—
discontent, lack of self-coutrul and peev
ishiness.
WOMAN WAS PERFECT AT FIRST.
An old bachelor says: ‘“Woman is the
fiishing touch, man was only an experi
ment,” By the way, the experiment has
been repeated many times since without
much improvement in man's making.
The Ladies’ Magazine of fashion says:
“Much less harmful than rogue to give
color to the cheeks is the juice of red
geranium leaves.”” But a good, brisk
walk is better still,
POLITE, ANY WAY.
Marie—“Do you say ‘“‘farewell,”
“adicn”’ or “*auf wiedershen’ when gen
tlemen friends ave leaving you?”’
Jeannette —*‘Neither. 1 say ‘Ob, stay
a little longer.”
IT IS A MISTAKE,
Not to put on winter flannels now.
Not to own a pair of cork-soled shoes.
Nut to eat something hot for lunch.
Not to put your summer clothes away
out of the dust.
Not to speak pleasantly to every
body.
Not to begin buying Christmas pres
s now,
Not to bave a few minutes to yourself
once in a while,
Not to say “No' when you mean no,
and “Yes when you mean yes.
Not to wear shoes that fit your feet.
Not to look as pretty as nature will let
you look,
Not to take a little exercise every
-
Notto write letters home.
Not to read daily papers.
And more than all, it is a mistake if
you do not make arrangements so you
canspend Thanksgiving at home with
the family,—New York World.

ASH BARREL PHILOSOPHY,
The Comedy mfl:sgedy of a Household
Recalled by Its Receptacle for Debris.
An ash barrel overflowing with house
hold refuse!
Not a very tempting object, but a vol
ume of philosophy is stowed away among
the curious debris of this fat receptacle
on the curbstone. Near the top is a bit
of dainty fabric—a mere fragment of a
woman’s handkerchief. It has fluttered
in the brisk sea breeze of Newport or
Long Branch, a pretty vehicle of gay
flirtations. A sad spectacle it is now
with its torn and soiled lace edging. Be
neath this relic of the lown summer lies
the ferruled end of a heavy walking
stick—the gift of & fond mamma to her
fair haired boy, who is considered a
great swell among his fellow chappies.
The cane was a bit out of fashion when
the youngster’s mother presented it, and
“the fellows of the club,” you know,
guyed him about the stick. In a fit of
auger he broke the thing over his knee
(a wondrous feat of strength), and it
found its way next morning to the ash
barrel.
Peeping from beneath a broken fruit
dish is the tiny tee of a dilapidated
patent leather boot. The graceful lines
of a feminine foot are still there, despite
the shabbiness. Do you think this san
dal of a modern Venus still remembers
the night that Harry Highflier begged
to drink in champagne the health of his
adored one from this same castoff piece
of footgear? ,
A battered, torn and glossless silk hat
of a date long past next comes to light.
Through what vicissitudes has this dis
carded ‘‘tile” accompanied paterfamil
ias! It would still be reposing in a cor
ner of an attic closet had not the wife
of the wearer’s bosom thrown it in the
rubbish pile.
What a jumble of broken objects are
overturned by the prodding hook—a
voung girl’s glove; a bunch of wilted
roses, with a card attached (compli
nients of Dick Dovely); a fragment of
mirror, with the end of a spray of forget
menots painted on its silver surface; a
shred of materfamilias’ wedding dress;
a shattered Nankeen vase; a badly
cracked billiard ball and the remnants
of a schoolboy’s slate!
Ah, but here is a symbol of gayety—
the green nose of a pot bellied demijohn
—rotund and robust, and not a mite dis
concerted by its present unfortunate po
gition. Its fiery contents, long since dis
appeared down the throats of men, has
helped to cheer as well as make foolish
the drinkers atits font. The scrap of
rug, which stands like a soft wall be
tween a sharp edged brick and the wil
low clad sidés of the demijohn had saved
the latter from destruction. Good luck
usually attends the wicked and unthink-
ing.
Some scraps of paper are blown up
ward by the strong autumn breeze. They
are fragments of a letter. *‘Must have
—money immediately—been foolish—
—lost all—gambling—mean to reform—
your refusal—will be ruined.”
Here is another scrap of paper, with a
girlish scrawl on its much soiled surface:
“Dearest Harry—never thought—cared
for me—very happy—call soon—your
own.”—New York Recorder.

Value of the Shilling in 1600,
We know that in Shakespeare’s day,
say A.D. 1600, sixpence a day was &
fortune for sny workingman, say the
equivalent of ten pounds per annum. A
century earlier, before the access to
America was open to English explorers,
one of the Ardens of Warwickshire left
an annuity of forty shillings per annum
to a younger son, probably the poet's
great-granduncle. Them if sixpence a
day weuld now be the equivalent to
twenty shillings a week, then forty shil
lings per annum would equate to £l2O
of present values.—Notes and Queries.
The Ralniest Day of the Moon.
A celebrated aeronaut asserts, after
patient investigation, that the ninth day
of the moon is the niost rainy day of the
whole twenty-eight, and 4 o'clock in the
afternoon the rainiest hour of the day.
—Chambers’ Journal.
Japanese Dentistry. 5
“The Japanese use no instrument for
extracting teeth, but lift them out with
the thumb and forefinger,” said Henry
Baker to a guest of the Southern, who
was wearing his jaw in a sling as the re
sult of a pair of forceps slipping and
getting more than they were sent for.
““While jolly Dick Hubbard was min
ister to Japan I visited that country and
spent a pleasant week with bim. One
day I was troubled with the toothache,
and Mr. Hubbard took me to a dentist
and explained to the saddle colored
operator that I wanted the grinder ex
tracted. I was placed in a bamboo chair
and tilted slightly back. The dentist
examined my teeth, talking volubly
meanwhile to Uncle Sam’s representa
tive. Suddenly his thumb and forefinger
closed on the troublesome tooth, and
before I had the faintest idea of whad
was going to happen he lifted it out and
held it up before me, smiling at tho
same time that vacant smile peculiar
to the children of the orient. ‘Yon were
waiting for the forceps, were you? said
Minister Hubbard, with a laugh. ‘They
don’t use ’em here.’ "—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
A Goldfish Has Sport.
1 was much interested one day in the
actions of a goldfish in an aquarium.
The fish was resting quietly within a
few inches of the surface, when it sud
denly, ejected a fish scale from its
mouth.
As the scale was slowly sinking, the
fish suddenly darted downward, drew
the scale into its mouth and rose toward
the surface, where it remained motion
less for several moments. The whole
performance was repeated several times.
Whatever may have been the exact
motive which prompted these actions on
the part of the fish, we may fairly con
clude that the object was recreation.—
Youth’s Companion.
| A Strange Feasting Custom.
! There was a strange custom in the Isle
of Lewis, when the people used to gather
to the church of St. Mulvay at night,
each family bringing provisions, and
each family furnishing a peck of malt,
which was brewed into ale. One who was
chosen for the purpose waded into the
sea up to his middle and poured out a cup
of ale, calling on a sea god called Shony
to favor the people through the coming
year. The people, after seeing the cere
mony performed, returned to the church,
and then went to the fields to spend the
rest of the night in revelry.—New York
Tribune,.
Making a Monkey Useful.
A cook on board ship taught his mon
key to hand the wood, and i other ways
to assist him in doing the kitchen work.
African apes, when they go in a body to
plunder gardens and plantations, are
adroit enough to station a sentinel in a
tree, who informs the plunderers of the
approach of any person by uttering a
ghriek.—Harper’s Young Peobple.
