Fathers their children and them selves abuse, that wealth a husband for their daughters boose. Shirley. Marriage with a good woman is a harbor in the tempest of life: with a bad woman it is a tempest in a harbor. -J. I. Senn. As the husband is. the wife is; if mated with a clown, the grossness of his nature will have weight to drag thee down. Tennyson. The kindest and the happiest pair will find occasion to forbear, and some thing every day they live to pity and Jttrhaps forgive. Cowper. BEAUTY IN AGE. AO Old Lady Who Helievea In Heine Al ways Cheerful. A dear old lady of eighty-three is she. who is descrilied by Kate Sanliorn. in "A Truthful Woman in Southern Cali fornia," as "Grandma Wade." She says: 1 have known several interesting oc togenarians, liut never one that sur- 1 passed her in loveliness, wit and p I inr jwuiL. .-iic mui lias ner dent admirers among men as well . i . . , us wont en. and now and then .ecelvea ttI1 earnest proposal from of , , . n Ti i . 4 me lonely old fellow.

Hut she quietly said: i"m not going to bother the Lord with questions I can answer myself!" line day when she was choked by a bread crumb at the table, she said to the frightened waiter, as soon as she could regain her breath: "Never mind if that did go down the wrong way- A great many good things have gone down the right way this winter." She is invariably cheerful, and when she was parting with her son for the winter, she said: "Well. John. I want to know liefore you go just what you have left me in vour will." This little joke turned a tear into a smile. Kven when ill, she is so bright and hopeful that a friend once exclaimed: "Grandma. I do lielieve you would laugh if vou were dying:"' "Well," said she. "so many folks go to the Lord with a long face, I guess He will tie glad to see me come to Him smiling" WOMAN'S SOPRANO VOICE. Why he Can Ke-h Marh Higher Tones Than I Fumible fur Man. The scientist who discovered in the human larynx the anatomical reason why woman has a soprano voice and man a bass one was a woman, Mrs. Km ma Seiler. She was German, liorn in Wurtzburg. Left a widow with two children to support, she resolved to In come a teacher of singing, but sud denly lost her voice. Then she deter mined to find out why; also to discover if possible the correct method of sing ing, so that others might not lose their voices. For this purpose she studied anatomy. She dissected larvnx after larynx and spent years in her search. trying to bnd for one thing why worn en's head tones could reach high C while men had no soprano tones. At length her search was rewarded. She discovered under the microscope one day two small, wedge-shaped cartil ages whose action produces the highest tones of the human voice. She made hrr discovery public. It excited great atten tiou among scientists. Her own brother. a physician, praised the treatise in the highest terms till he found his own sis ter had written it. Then he dashed it lown, saying in a rage that she would letter le attending to her housework. Mine.

An Kiitrlislmiaii. on his first shootiii"; trip in Intliu. hal put up with his M-rvant. Mohammed Ali hiph-souiid-iiir names are cheap in that ooimtry at "a nameless villajje of half a dozen huts." All the mate population, con sist imr 'f nine men and Imivs. turned out cheerfully to beat the j unjrle for him. ln the first day. and very near the village, he met with au adventure wlii. li evidently is never recalled with out profound sorrow: although he tells t'le .story, iu The Shadow of the la frla."" with some attempt at ligiitness of spirit. Mohammed AH had posted me in a thicket overlook in;r a lonir. narrow lane of rrass. which wound like a st ream let ween hills clothed in dense jungle. My amhush was not ten feet fr.mi the opjiosite wall of hush, and I s;tt there with cocked ritle in the hreatliless expectancy of a novice, witli Mohammed AH crouch iiir at my hack 1 felt his warning tinovr. and strainino; every nerve, heard the delib erate approach of some animal. A few moments more and a Jersey cow-like huad was jeertnr at me over tin bushes ten feet away. Vajruely I thitii.'ht of the neijfhloirino; vilhir,. and strayiti'T kitie. For full five seconds th:tt animal and I looked into each other's eyes-, each wonderintr what the other was loiin- there. Then the head vanished. The bumlioos crushed lie fore the rush of a heavy animal in llio-ht. and I knew what I had not done "Ah. sail ill. sahib! Ah. sahib, sahib, Mohammed AH stood over me. Wat iii'rhis hirsute lio-iin with lioth hands, llis eyi's were full of tears. "A cw?" I stammered, feelinjj- very small.

Ih. why .li.l you not shoot? It was dead: it was killed! Why, sahib, did you not lire?" A tsiue! I do not think Mohammed Alis stitTeriliirs were comparable t mine when 1 learned that the visitor was the rarest and finest jrame ln-ast to lie shot in the country. And he. like tin- patient man he is. forgave me on the spot. "Never mind, sahib.' he said, rising with a deep siirh: "never mind, you diall kill the next one. There are many ill t his juiijrle."' There may have lieen:but though we I .-at and tracked all that day. "and for many .lays afterward, seldom return-injr- to camp with nit seeino; something, the soin.t liiiiir was never a tsine.

It happens that there are a (rood manv rats iu the iieio-litK'rhood of his house, so it was lieei-ssary to have eats in order to keep them dow ii. 'I'hese cats have a strange way of .1 isapjieariuo- one after another. It is. of course, easy uouri to replace tli. in. but still it is very aiiiioyiur to have to do so continually, especially to l.in r.sof cats. The iicirhlKirs account for their removal by unaniiiiousl y ascrili it to the iraiiiekeeier. This official M'i-iiii a very civil and decent fellow piTsoiially. so the asriTieVed house kecjKT a. -costs him. and asks him point blank whet her he caii account for the di. .appearances, "not to put too title a jMiiut upon it." as Mr. Micawlier would say which means, of course, whether he has n. it shot t he animals. Thc'ame-kei-n-r m.ikes no attempt to repel the soft impeachment, but very candidly re plies: ""Well. sir. you see Tui a servant. I have my orders, and I've jfot to obey them."' " Hut are you aware, keeper, that this is a jK-nal otTeiise?" "liare say it is, sir, but that's my orders?" "V hit from?" ""Why. the squire, you know, of course." The discussion thus terminates dis tinctly in favor of the jj-amekeeper. be cause the squire is. as before, a magis trate, and by virtue of uniiiuo; the two functions iu his own jhtsoii he can af ford to defy the law wilti impunity, and to have his own way. There is. in fact, no remedy at all. Westminster Kevicw. THE COLLEGES. Putxr kton- will debate with neither Yale nor Harvard this year.
