THE BARBER'S OPINION.
"Some people think 'tis only mado I find it just the nicest thing
For cleansing goods of heavy grade,
For washing down the walls or stairs,
The bureau, tables and the chairs;
But folks do well to change their mind ;
'Tis not to things like these confined,
And not alone the kitchen maid
And laundress prize its friendly aid;
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be " Just as good as the 1 Ivory' j "
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities
of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.

Her husbard, smiling, leaned upon the gate.
At arm's length holding In his trembling hand
The crlp whlto beet, while ha the writing

LOVE VS. DISCIPLINE.
It was evening In tho gloomy old fash
ioned kitchen of Farmer Groy. Tho
green paper curtains, covered with pict
ures of iinposslblo scenery and Btrango
grotcsquo llguros, were lowered, shutting
out tho whito moonlight as It lay upon
tho snow covered fields llko glittering
crystals.
Great logs of oak and cedar filled tho
wldo fireplaco, casting a ruddy, cheerful
glow around tho room; an Angora cat
Jay basking In tho bright firelight, whllo
upon tho opposlto side of tho hearth,
stretched at full length, lay a great New
foundland dog; tho yellow painted floor
was clean as hands could mako it, and
altogether tho room presented a sceno of
rural comfort not to bo despised.
Tho farmer sat In his easy chair, deep
In meditation, with his eyes fastened
upon tho fire, whllo tho busy housewife,
with deft fingers,, plied tho knitting
needles, and glanced occasionally at tho
couplo seated at tho tablo busy with
their books. It was their daughter and
tho district school toachcr.
Faith Grey was an only child, and
from tho tlmo when sho first began to
talk had ruled her loving subjects in tho
little kingdom of homo with absolute
sway. Sho was now 17 years of age,
with laughing brown eyes and waving
auburn hair, that rippled aud shono
with u touch of gold in its soft meshes
when sho faced tho buii. Her com
plexion was fair and puro ns an npplo
blossom. Her dress was n slmplo brown
merino, with a plain whito collar fas
tened at tho throat by a bluo ribbon,
whilo streamers of tho 6anio azuro huo
confined tho meshes of waving hair.
Sho was tall and slender, with a supple,
willowy graco perceptible in every move
ment of her graceful form.
Her companion was apparently 23
years of age, with a broad whito brow
and dark hair, which clustered in llttlo
ringlets about his forehead; his eyes
were black and penetrating; tho grave,
firm mouth betokened lndomitablo will
and strength of character; his faco was
smooth, and his large, well mado form
was arrayed in a suit of. plain black. Ho
was college educated, and wldlo waiting
for a situation liad learned that ho could
have tho winter school in this district to
teach, and being poor, had accepted it
rather than remain idlo until a more)
eligible one presented itself. IIo was far
from despising small beginnings.
He well know that tho school boro no
enviable reputation, for by report It was
known far and near. Only tho winter
before tho scholars had chosen to give
the teacher a seat In a snowdrift, and
and then entering tho school room had
held high carnival, laughing and jeering
at him as ho tried In vain to enter, and
In despair he had turned his back upon
tho school and tho town. Ho well know
that It was no light task which ho had
undertakon, but only a tighter closiugof
tho firm lips was visible ns ho accepted
tho trtist, and silently vowed to conquer
or die. It was a school of fifty scholars,
ranging from four to twenty years of
age. A mixed assembly, soino good,
somo bad, and bouio neither tho ono nor
the other, but ready to join tho btrongest
arty.
Ho was obliged to board around, and
as ho was exceedingly particular uiul fas
tidious in all his personal affairs, some
encounters which ho was obliged to mako
weru laughable in tho extreme. IlochohO
tho place farthest from his school for his
first boarding place, and ns he took his
seat at tho supper tablo ho glanced ap
palled at tho view which tho board pre
sented. Tho dishes wcro cracked and
grimy, and tho supper was comjiojed of
a dish of (rotatoes, familiarly known
among tho country peoplo as tho "long
JoluiB." Gigantic in size, they lay black
and heavy upon tho dirty plate, Hanked
by a deep yellow dUh, two-thirds full of
pork fat, whllo slices of tho pork, fried
to a cinder, floated upon tho top. A
plate of bread, with a leaden strip at tho
bottom of each slice, and a small plecoof
butter cumiiooed of alternato stripes of
whito and yellow, completed the viands.
He crushed down tho rising feeling of
disgust and mado no sign, even when
tho young sou, a boy of 10 years of ago,
seized ono of the potatoes in his dirty,
unwashed hands, and, bquecziug If, ex
clalmedi "Harm, this 'ero 'tuter ain't
done," and laying It down coolly repeat
ed tho operation with tho rest.
This wus it sample, of tho meals which
ho was compelled to partake of whilo ho
stayed at his first boarding place, but ho
was more fortunate In his next selection.
It was at Farmer Grey's, and Mrs. Grey
was a noted housowife. Faith was ono
of his hardest pupils to manage. Never
doing any mischief which ho could trnco
directly to her, yet, by somo unaccount
able inllucnco, ho was suro that sho In
duced tho rest to act In direct defianco of
his authority, and when detected her
own faco would bo as demure and Inno
cent looking as that of a kitten.
Sho was n ready and apt hcholur, and
seemed really delighted with tho oppor
tunities of learning which tho talented
young muster placed within tho reach of
all. Ho was possessed of a vast fund of
general Information, and ho garo to
them without measure and without
stint. Ho was kind and gentle, but in
very truth they found 1dm inastor all
but Faith.
As tho days lengthened Into weeks an
unquiet spirit appeared to enter Into tho
girl, and sho seemed almost boldly do
flam. With oxoooding patience nud
gentleness the master bore with all her
freaks, and although sorely tried ho en
deavored, by gentle, winning kindness,
to bring her to seo tho great wrong sho
was doing herself and lilm. Hut it was
of no avail; tho uioro ho tried tho moro
he might try, and tho dancing brown
eyes shot forth angry sparks as at last ho
passed her most daring pranks by In ab
solute silence.
However, tho crhds camo at last. At
the noon recess ono of tho oldest scholars,
a youth of 10, had tried to steal her linud
kerchief In fun; it was a dainty affair,
mado of lace and muslin, n present from
her cousin in the city. Faith had reso
lutely declined all such advances, but in
the afternoon eho reached across tho
oialo and laid It upon tlo open leaves of
tho book where ho was studying. With
a gracoful tow he acknowledged tho
gift, and raised It to his Hps, when lol a
tiny dead mouse dropped from Its folds,
and a universal giggle ran through tho
room. In desperation tho master called
them to order, and there was a sharp
riSffi 08 SLPait JEiS 6ravo Btern 'S.11-1
fl I if Mil lift it It
which said, "Faith Grey can 6lop after
school to-night," That was all, and,
without casting a look In tho direction
of tho young girl, tho business of tho day
wont on as Usual, but each and all under
stood that trifling was nt an end, and
oven Faith's rosy checks paled a llttlo as
sho glanced shyly at tho btcrn, quiet
faco.
It had been a hard day for tho young
master, and it was no wonder If his pa
tlenco was exhausted. In tlio morning
ono of his largest scholars, a half wltted
Frenchman, had entered lalo and Im
mediately commenced to laugh, and all
tho Information that could bo elicited
from him was that ho guessed "tho two-year-old
would get full by and by," and
again his fat slde3 would shako with
laughter. Ho was a grit, overgrown
fellow of sixteen, who worked for his
lxard at a farm about a milo from school,
and at noon his employer presented him
self at tho Bchoolhouso, and in loud, an
gry tones ordered him never to dnrken
his doors again.
It nppeared that tho spring where tho
cattlo had been In tho habit of drinking
was formed by lowering n barrel into
tho ground, and all around it was very
slippery with ico, and as tho clown had
driven them to drink, tho "two-year-old"
had slipped and fallen In head first, and
le!ng unable to gut out alone, tlio French
man hail left it to "got full" whilo ho
went to school. When found by tho
farmer tho animal was drowned. Al
though tlio schoolmaster could not lilamo
tho farmer for his indignation, yet tlio
circumstanco annoyed him exceedingly;
and if ono might bo allowed to judgo by
tho look of dctermiuation on Ills white,
stern faco, Faith was likely to feel tho
full forco of his authority, and oven her
stout heart quailed n llttlo as tho shadows
lengthened nnd tho day drew near Us
clobe.
Tho last lesson had been recited, tho
last class had stood tip to spell; tho even
ing liymn had been sung, and at last
school had closed, tho scholars filing out
of tho houso in good order nnd with a
strange quietness and dUpatch, wrap
ping about them their shawls, hoods and
comforters. Faith, with tho roses all
gono from her dimpled cheeks, was sit
ting at her desk, whito and still. For ti
fow moments, which seemed likonn eter
nity to her, tho master sat nt his desk
with head bowed upon his hands. Tho
short winter's day was drawing to a
close, and ono solitary sunoeam, red as
blood, streamed through tho window and
lay across tho desk exactly in front of
her, aud to tlio day of her death Faith
will carry a vivid inward picturo of that
littlo schoolroom, for every article which
it contained was indelibly Impressed
upon her mind in thoso few moments.
At last tho master raised his head and
in low tones said:
"Miss Faith, you may como here."
At tlio sound of ids voico tlio blood
rushed back to tho cheek which had been
so palo but u moment ago, and her cour
age revived. Sho aroao und with firm
step walked across tho room und stood
befovo him, and as their eyes met sho re
turned his gazo unflinchingly. His wag
a sad, beseeching look, ns though ho
would urgo her to beg his forgiveness.
Hers was a mixturo of fun and anger
combined, but certainly they showed no
signs of sorrow. As ho nroso to his foct
Ids hugo form towered like n giant abovo
her, and reaching over his desk ho grasp
ed his ferule.
"Hold out your haudl"
And moro in sorrow than in auger he
looked to see if his command was obeyed.
Tlio words wcro jerked forth as though
they caused tho speaker untold aln.
Faitli obeyed, although tho whito Ild-a
covered tho brown eyes and tho long
eyelashes swept over cheoks as whito as
tlio snow outside Sho had novcr re
ceived a blow in her life, nnd she shivered
as tho tips of her slender fingers wero
firmly grasped, and ono bhoit, sharp,
stinging blow descended upon tho whito
palm, leaving a crimson mark that curi
ously reminded her of tho blood red sun
beam ns it lay across the desk. Tlio f erulo
was raised for another blow when again
their eyes met, but from tlio brown onea
tho anger was gone, and they wero full
of tears and muto plcadings.'and with ti
dull thud tho ferule dropped to tlio floor,
and tho girl was clasped p his heart in a
wild, passionate embrace.
In after years, when bho was tho loved
and honored wife of tlio statesman who
began his career as a district school
teacher, Faitli was wont to say that tho
keeping up of appearances so that others
might not know what had occurred was
tho hardest lesson sho had ever learned. It
was impossible to become tho docllo pu
pil which sho now longed to bo witliout
exciting suspicion, nud for eight weeks
sho ncted her part in a manner worthy
of tho mo3t finished actress; and to this
day it is an unsettled question between
them as to which conquered. True Flag.
Concentric cables nro claimed as tho
best, on tho theoretical grounds for tho
elimination of induced currents, as their
reaction upon ono another is necessarily
strongest In tho apis of tho current.

I hnd a caller tho othor afternoon when
Mr. Bowser camo home, and after the hail
gone ha asked i
"How long was Mrs. Blank hereP
"About half nn hour,"
"And you talked about fashions, I sup
pose I"
"Yes, mostly what should we talk aboutr"
"Mrs. Browser, did It ever occur to you
that there was anything In life beyond mil
linery and dross goods and dressmakers f"
"How!"
"Howl Why select some subject of sns
art, science, mineralogy, the labor ques
tion, or self government und discuss it with
calmness and justice, and learn something
worth remembering for half an hour. You
women folks might ns well havo been born
with n pumpkin on your shoulders in place of
a head."
1 made no reply to this, but determined to
catch Mr, Bowser In Ids own trap beforo th
week was out, Kortuno favored mo. It was
only two days beforo a neighbor called over
as ho n as at work In the back yard, and for
two long hours those men sat down On d lad
der anddlicU3sed tho question whethcra buck
gato should open Inwards or outwards', and
the advantages offered by either situation.
Mr. Dowser contended for tho goto opening
outwnrds, nnd tho tiolglilwr for tho opposite,
and the discussion resulted In Mr. Bowser get
ting rod clear back of tho ears and jumping
up to exclaim!
"Well, let's drop the subject right liere.
There can bo cranks on alley gates as well as
on politics nnd religion."
"And there can bo lunatics outside of tho
a.ry lums," hotly replied tlio neighbor.
"Don't call mo a lunatlol"
"And don't you call mo a crankl"
"Go homo and hang your old gate to the
moon I"
"I'll hang It according to tho rules of com
mon sense, nnd don't you forget it."
When Mr. Bowser came in to wash his
hands 1 observed!
"Mr. Bowser, did it ever occur to you that
there was anything in llfo beyond hanging a
back gatef'
He replied with a "humpkl" of disgust.
"Selxct somo subject of sense, Mr. Dowser
art, sclcnco, mineralogy, the labor question
or self government and discuss it with calm
ness and judgment and learn something worth
remembering for halt an hourl"
He lookod around In a desperate, helpless
way, aud put on his hnt and went off with
out a word in reply. I wasn't going to let
him off on that, however. When ho came
homo that evening 1 had Mrs. Orfendorf over
to supjier, and as soon as we wero seated at
tho table I queried:
"Doesn't it strike you that Germany's poli
cy on tho Samoan question Is ono of concilia
tion Instead of aggression P'
"It certainly does," sho replied, "but there
may bo a hidden motive behind this seeming
submission. Trace tho record of tho man
back as far us you will, and his policy has
been either aggression or strategy."
Mr. Bowser looked from ono to tho other
of us In astonishment,
"I notice," said I, as I passed tho biscuits,
"that the Spanish colonial policy is working
towards a radical change. Incited by the
example of other and stronger nations, it Is
about to extend its arms and enfold new pos
sessions." The stare that Mr. Bowser favored mo with
mado my flesh creep.
"I do so hope you can como down to the
next meeting of tho Woman's Scientific, Po
litical and Literary club," said Mrs. Orfen
dorf, as she toyed with her strawberries.
"Tuoso gatherings aro very, very Interesting.
At our last meeting we discussed the 'Drift
Period,' and at tho ouo noxt week we shall
discuss 'Two Proiosed Amendments to the
Constitution of tho United States."'
"Oh, I'd like to go over so much, and I
think i can promise you I will bo there. Can
Mr. Bowser come, loop'
"Well, hardly. Men tako such little Inter
est la such things that they aro obstruc
tions." And Mr. Bowser sat there, turning rod and
palo by turns, until his chair grow so hot that
ho had to pretend a headache and get ex
cused. I anticipated an awful tragedy after
my visitor took lier departure, but Mr. Bow
ser contented himself with saying:
"Now that thnt shallow pated, long nosed
old nuisance has finally taken her leave, let's
go to bod."
IIo regained his assurance after a couple of
days, however, t was talking to our 3-year-old
baby, and talking as all mothers talk, when
Mr. Bowser tlung down his paper and ex
claimed; "Mrs. Bowser, you mako mo tired tabling
to that young un that way. No wonder so
many children grow up to bo sap headed."
"How shall I talkP'
"Talk sense the samo as you would to an
adult. He's old enough to understand, and I
believe he will appreciate it."
"Very well; I'll try."
"Tliauk you. It's moro than I expected
you'd do."
The trial camo that night. Wo had scarcely
got to bed when baby awoko and began to
whine. Ho had got cold and was feverish,
"Now, Harry," I began, "snug down and
try to go to sleep. It's nothing serious, and I
object to being kept awako."
IIo howled more lustily.
"My son," I continued, "this exhibition
of Ingratitude astonishes mo, nnd I insist
that ou change your course of conduct at
onco or leavo my house. Filial respect, if
nothing"
"What in thunder and blazes are you talk
ing aboutP roared Mr. Bowser, as ho sat up
In bed.
"I'm talking senso to baby."
' "Not by a jug full, you alu'tl"
"Then you try it,"
"I'll try it by wringing his neck If he
doesn't shut off steam Ilo's howling outof
spite I"
"Then warn him that you may be com
pelled to inflict duo chastisement, but do It
calmly and grammatically."
"I I I I I I I"
That's what Mr. Bowser said as ho jumped
out of bod and disappeared into tho spare,
room, and that was tko last I saw of him un
til morning. Detroit Free Press.

upon tho captain us ho sheered alongside of
