The pleasure Is largely In anticipation, but
la net the less real en that account, and the
duties and anxieties of the ever-present to
morrow seem te te pushed se tar Inte the
fntura by the Intervention et Sunday, that
the lead or care 1 taken from the shoulders
of the many that carry one tee heavy for them :
" Te-day Is ours, e have It here.
1t' banish Im.lness, b&nl.n sorrow ;
Te the (i e. belongs te-morrow."
And this suggests at once the antiquity of
Haturdsy night's geed cheer, and the various
dinerent ways or spending said Saturday
night. There is an old song that runs,
" In the (reed old colony days,
When we llml under tiie King
Wouncdterettlgbt
Kvcry Baturday nlsnt
A'penrtng ilewn gin sling."
And there still be sad dogs among us who
perpetuate the customs of the geed old colony
days.
The writer hastens te assure the reader,
gentle or gentleman, that he Is net a sad deg.
J-'ar Irem It; he Is a Jelly deg, a model of pro
priety In everyway; and he passers his Satur
day ulgliUt counting the fractional currency
that he has coined by sweat of brew, and
rellrcllng upon the grave problems et life.
We don't Knew where ours will be our
grave but we strongly suspect we won't
have any. Mrs, Us Is very proud of us, and
we believe that our cremated remains will
ermment the mantlepiece after our decease.
However this don't bother us. It only serves
te remind us of the philosophical reflection
of a friend upon the commercial value of a
man's decease.
Our friend Smith was the fortunate owner
of a house full of paintings, statuary and
antique furniture, lie called them "ebjet
d'art," but there should be a dash after tbat
d. for there was nethine reallv nrettv In the
whole collection, and he did net claim that
there was. lie said that the collection was
valuable because of Its historical associations,
and he led me, with a country friend et
mine, ever the house, pointing out the
horrors and explaining the associations.
This table belonged te Charles the Great of
Hweden, that footstool te Charles the Beld, of
Bnrgundy. My country friend had one that
once belonged te Charles of 1'eque he said,
with a smile, and 1 asked for some et the

He sclemly Hashed the whites of his eyes
up in me, and pointing, said Impressively:
"The man who made that Is dead"!
THK CLOSING TIME.
My friends and I walked down the street
In silence. It was Saturday night and
crowds of cheerful peeple humed past us,
homeward bound, for it was closing time and
the tired clerks and salesmen appreciated the
fact. Twe rough and manly young fellows
were Blaming the front shutters or a bard
ware store, and their neat and careful dress
proclaimed that they, at least, had their
plans ler Saturday night well laid.
Back in the efllce the gray-haired clerk,
with Bheulders bent by a life-long struggle
with figures, finds the thirty-seven cent
error needed te make his ledger balance.
With a glance at the clock, along drawn sigh
and stretch, he says te the young clerk near
him, "Bebble, lets call it a day" and with
that Blips down from his tall eUlce tool, pulls
felthat ever his level brews te sbetd his
tired eyes from the bright electric light, and
trudges homeward.
Thousands of ethers are trudging home
ward under the glaring lights at the corners,
and the softer, purer light of the moon in the
intervening squares ; threugb shady streets
and billy Btreets, past crowds of people seated
en their doorsteps enjoying the glorious
summer night And, as they tramp along,
their minds are cleared of cares, as the sky
is clear et clouds by winds that blew from
calmer depths of air.
Te citizens who are employed in mills and
factories, Saturday night is like the sunset
that fellows a blazing summer afternoon,
when intolerable heat and glare give place te
cooler twilight, and a sky aglow with pleas
ant color.
But there are two kinds of Saturday nights
for many of them, and they alternate through
out the year with soma Pay-days come
weekly, fortnightly and monthly; "and
thereby hangs a tale." Many an iron worker
and mill hand gathers his hard-earned wages
in his hardened hand and breaks ler the
nearest saloon. On Monday morning lie
wants te borrow a dollar ler a pair of shoes,
and his " bearding missus " is lucky If Bhe
has managed te secure her bill.
Happily, in our town these devotees of
Baechus are net very numerous, and our la la
beringmen and women, as a class, go te their
homes en Saturday night as steadily and
cheerfully, as tired and heperul, as any ether
workers in our city.
Many or our business men devete their
Saturday nights te a summary or their busi busi
neus for the week, and a settling or their per
sonal accounts j but we think that It is mere
generally devoted te the famUy and Beclal
pleasures that are then most enjoyable, be
cause new questions te be settled en the mor mer mor
rew are net constantly before the mind.

the same " sucker," bearing fruit succeasU ely

It isn't Shakespeare who sss fashion
makps Feels of us Alt ; but It Is Just as true
as It he did. What Is worse, lashlen some
times makes cruel tyrants of us. Loek at
the way it has de humanized theimuds of
our most contle and tender-hearted ladles te
such an oteut that they he cautd the
cruel butchery of millions or the Innocent,
harmless and beautiful birds of our land for
the adornment of thelr hats and bonnet.
When I think hew utterly repugnant te
woman's nature and te all that H gentle and
refined In her being tt must be te despoil our
forests end fields or their sweet songsters and
most lovely ornaments and ruthlessly te
murder net only as many uirusascan ue
shot and trapped, but heartlessly te cause the
death by starvation of thousands of breeds of
helpless young nestlings when 1 remember
that this unnatural cruelty Is unhesitatingly
Indulged In simply because fashion demands
It it almost makes me shiver te think what
might come hereafter. Who can tell w uat
thecrary goddess may order net Nothing
Is tee atrocious for her. What if she should
decree It te be " in form," sy net season,
for ladles te carry card caes inade of human
skin, or te weir the scalps of their lecrs at
their belts (literally), don't you suppose her
ebirles would obey T Who would be secure
of his skin from one day te the next What
a ghastly bald appearance society would as
sume 1 What Is te prevent such a hypothe
sis from being realized ? We are absolutely
at the mercy et fashion.
Xer Is the fair sex any mere unreasonably
and cruelly devoted te this whitnjlcwl tyrant
than the sterner. Loek but at the present
senseless, barbarous and ugly fashion of tor
turing horses by the use of the check-rein
ever the top of their necks It is ruining
thousands et horses In our country, besides
being an utterly useless and mast cruel fash fash
Ien. It It keeps en much longer the proud
and beautiful arched neck of the horse,
which nature gae him for tcstbetic as well
as useful purposes will be a thing of the
past, and with it his tree and graceful gait
In place of the traditional here w e will u.-n e
a race of camel-ndoked animals with n still
and awkward camel-like gnte. Yet I see
men everywhere meekly bowing before this
irrational lasnien, sacriucing tne neauty,
comfort, and in se far the value of their finest
horses te It It provokes me every time 1
see It
The only consolation I can find anywhere
and it is a far-fetched one, I confess when
I centemplate the cruelty as well as felly of
many of the demands of fashion, Is the fact
that sometimes her freaks also are blunder
ingly beneficent It has happened mere
than ence within quite recent years, for In
stance, that some peer tenth-rate writer has
been suddenly elevated, It net te real and
lasting fame, yet te some transitory semblance

books wildly popular, " all the rage." He
and his publishers at least are benefitted.
even If literature suffers thereby ; while by
the murder of the birds and the torture and
deformlugef horses no one gets the slightest
advantage of any kind.
Sometimes it happens tee, that the aggre
gate geed elTecU of a fashion se far overbal
ance any Incidental evils that the total result
maybe called wholly beneficial. Take for
example the prevalent craze for " war arti
cles" In our papers and magazines. I can
well see that the best literature and pure lit
erary taste has been harmed te some extent
by the prominence and popularity given te
men's writings who may Indeed have been
mlghtv with the sword, but who are decid
edly weak with the pen. Yet their warrior
fame has given them a certain pseudo-literary

ever, a rich mass et material, eveu though
much of It be raw and crude, has been gath
ered together which will be of incalculable
worth te the future of historical and ether
literature. Then, tee, a whole new army of
heroes has been discovered, or created, of
whom the world would otherwise never
have known anything. The chance ei writ
ing a war article has been a godsend te many
a dilapidated fellow, who thus can make him
self a bere and martyr and be paid rer It be
sides, while otherwise he would have had te
gnaw bis pension In obscurity.
One or the latest literary rashiens, if 1 may
call it se, Is the making of lists et " best
books." Since Sir Jehn l.ubbeck made his
new famous list of one hundred best books,
he has had an innumerable host et Imitators
In that most unprofitable occupation. The
only thing that can be said In favor or the
foolish lashlen is that tt Is at least compara
tively harmless. And even this may net al
ways be true. Ir anybody Is influenced in
his choice or books by such lists be will find
in every one some books that will net be the
best for him, and may be actually harmful.
Several lists 1 have seen which included a
number or books that mnst be harmful te
everyone w he reads them.
Tur. latest list or " hundred books " Is one
published by the Independent, the " fore
most religious newspaper In the world," it
calls Itself, and professes te be a very high
authority In literary matters, lu list is one
ei " Selected Recent Fiction," and Is te in
clude only books published within the last
three years, though It contains a geed many
thatare elder. My first Impulse, en reading
this list was, like Kuskln did te Lubbeck's,
te " draw my pen bletfesquely through the
mass of rubbish." I didn't, however ; and
my second Impression was net quite as bad
as the first. Leeking closely I saw that Its
slna nt emission at least were fewer than I
had first thought Yet several of them are
altogether inexcusable.
Fen example, se pure and artistically ex
cellent a novel as Miss Blanche Willis
Heward's "Guenn" Is emitted, sels the same
author's "Aulnay Tower." James' short
stories, some of which are exquisite, have no
place In it; neither have M&urlce Thomp
son's. I looked In vain ter Miss Jfurfrecs
"Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains,"
for any thing by Rese Terry Coeke or Mary
Halleck Feete, or Sarah Orne Jewett, or
Mrs. Ewlng, or Geerge Macdonald, or Mrs.
Burnett, or Aldricb, Warner and a number
of ethers as worthy. But Instead or them a

or D. C. Murray's, four of W. E. Norris',
three of Mtts Tlneker'a, several by Anstey,
Hoppus, Bayler, Walworth, Campbell, Lucy,
Dunning and ethers or the same rank,
O.f what principle of solectlen, I wender,
does The Jndepcndent recommend Craw
lord's "Te Leeward," and two ethers or his,
and Ignore "Guenn" or "Aulnay Tower" 7
OrwnyisDr. S. Weir Mitchell's "in War
Time" mentioned, or Dr. Hammend's "Dr.
Orattan," or C. M. Newell's "Kamo "Kame
hameba," or Julian Hawthorne's "Neble
Bleed," whlle no notice Is taken of Mrs.
Keete's "Led Herse Claim," or "Jehn
Bedewln's Testimony," or of Prof. Hardy's
"Wind el Destiny' or of Sarah Orne
Jswett'a "Marsh Island," or Hese Terry
Coeke's "Deacon's Week"? Why have we
se long and tedious an affair as Tolstoi's
"War and Peace," or Howe's "Story or a
County Town" and "Mystery or the Leeks,"
or se Intrinsically worthless a ene as Cen
wsy'a "Family Alfalr" why are we te read
these, when we might with Infinitely mere
pleasure and profit be reading such perfect
little gems as Mrs. Ewing'a "Daddy Dar
win's Dovecot," "Jackanapes" and "The
Story or Short Lire," or that still mere
exquisite and perfect little tale "The Story
of Ida," by Kranclsc (Mrs. Alexander) ; or
even some of Stockton's short stories would
be much better than anything or Howe,
Conway, Heffman, Hoppus &. Ce. I am
sure, tee, that If Turgenefl's "Murau" had
been put in plaoeer Dsudet's "L'Evanne
liste," or of one or Btlrae's four novels, noth
ing would have been lest. Fer or all I have
ever read of the great Russian's works,
"Mumu" is unquestionably the strongest!
purest, greatest and best, in spite or Its being
the shortest.
SrEAKiNa of "The Story or Ids," .If you
have never read It, take my advice and read
It at once. It is quite short little thing,
careely hundred pages. t But Z would
rather have written these lew pages than all
of Crawford's volumes, or nine-tenths of
James'. X would rattier base reputation en
all the acute psychological studies aud speci
mens of spiritual anatomizing of James,
Daudeter llalzae hlmselr. The fact of Its
being a true story, an entirely artless de
scription of the short life of a Meet Italian
maiden, does net nmke It any the less Inter
esting, soul purifying, aud morally upbuild
ing, l'er pure beauty, tender psthes mid as
a genuine and powerful spiritual tonic, I
consider It unappreached In literature, tt is
a gem of the llrst water, absolutely unique.
Ner does tt detract from It that ltuskln has

Jarring, and sometime Imttertlunnt feel-

Mr. Frederic Harrison, "Our stately Milten
said inn passage which is ene of the watch
words of the English race, 'as poed almost kill
a man as klllacoed Boek.' Yest
They de kill the geed book who deliver up
their few siul precious hours or reading te
the trivial book. They make It dead Ter
them ; they de what lies in them te destroy
1 the precious tlfe-bloek et a master spirit
Imbaltn'd and treasured up en purpose te a
life beyond life ;' they spill that seasen'd
life of man preserv'd and ster'd up In Hookes.'
Fer in the wilderness of books most
men, certainly all busy men, inuf strictly
cheese. If theysaturate'thelr mind's with the

cills 'an Immortality rather than a life,' Is

Hints te These Who Detlra te K.ep Ihrlr
Wives Yeung and Handsome,
from the Detroit Tribune.
Why de net mothers teach their Iniys hew
te de housework ? The llttle girls set the
table, wlpe dishes, dnst the parlor, held the
baby. But the boys I Bless your soul, If
you can get one of them te hang up his night
shirt every morning, instead or leaving it en
the fleer as he stepped out et It, or hang up
his cap, or put up his books or skate, you
are lucky. Why should net a boy help his
mother T Why should tears of rage nnd
shame roll down his cheeks when an apron
is tied around his neck and he Is obliged te
wash dishes T Girls are told from their
babyhood te "learn te be geed wives."
Beys should have It constantly dinned into
their ears te "learn te be geed husbands."
Hew elten you see a tired wife carry a heavy
burden upstairs and her husband come up
behind her empty-handed. And this same
little wife will split the weed and sometimes
black the hnsband's beets.
A man en a cattle ranch, living by hlmself
in a dug-out, said he wished bis mother had
taught blm te cook when he was a boy, and
te WT-AvJie would find It of Great use when
there were no womenfelks about. A writer
In the Farm and Heme baa- ivelt said that

and I, the youngest, was often called te help
her with the housework. 1 have lived te
bless her rer the Instruction she gave me in
that line, and I knew my wire Is of the same
mlud. I knew a man who, when his wile
was sick, took the whole care of the house
hold as nurse, cook, washer-woman and
maid of all work rer several weeks, unaided,
except rer the dally visits of the physician,
caring for his wife as sbe went almost te the
gatea of death, until at last a geed uurse was
obtained, and the tired husband was permit
ted te rest. And that man was net a ' Miss
Nancy" either. Why are net the husbands
as polite te their wives as te ether women ?
Why don't they bring In a little bit or the
honeyed sweetness or courting days te
lighten the dull prose of married lile 1
In a story, "A Cure for a Miserable Wife,"
Is the following conversation : Tbe old far
mer has made (60,000 by scrimping and by
denying hU wife all modern help and conve
niences, and his friend says te him : " Your
wlfe is no longer young. Sbe is no longer
handsome. Her hands are as hard as a local
editor's cheek, and sbe has steeped ever a
milk cau until she has a hump en her back
like a peudier.
"Shut up, will your"
Eb
1 Her children have grown out et lier
bands. She Is at home alone, going around
In a tread mill which will end in a rosewood
coffin and a llrst-chus country funeral, while
you are still a handsome man, with Just
enough gray In your whiskers te make you
leek interesting. New you have n new
Watertown wagon. Your wife does net leek
well in It, se you take your hired man and
neighbors' girls te meeting. Your wife
never gees anywhere, se you de net get her
a watch like yenr own, nor a silk dress, nor
a pony that she could drive, nor a basket
Ebicten that sbe could climb into without a
idder. She never says anything, se you
have net get her a set of teeth like your own
geld and rubber. She never gees out, se she
does net dye her hair as yen de yours, but It
leeks like a milkweed pod gene te seed. Sbe
has te work In the kitchen, se she gets no
nice toothpick shoes like yours, but gees
chnmping around like a sheep In n dry goods
box."
" Professer, for mercy's sake, step."
" Mew If your wife had a chance te rest,
had nice clothes like ether women, Bhe
would be one or the handsomest women In
the town."
"1 swan 1 1 believe It."
" And, old as she Is, If you were te get out
the carriage next Sunday, drive around with
the colts and tell her you wanted her te go
te meeting with yen sbe would actually
blush with pleasure."
Darned If I don't de it."
" Then tell her you are going te hire a
girl, and that she must sit In the sitting-room
y that new nickel-plated coal stove and
work en that new silk dress yen are going te
buy her."
" Professer, that's me."
" And then hand her a nickel wallet with
steel clasps and with five new twenty dollar
notes in It, and tell her te de her own trading
after this, because you have get tired looking
after se much money,"
11 1 will, a sure as you live."
" And then when the tears start lu her eyes
and the same old blush comes ent that you
thought was se nice when you was courting
her, if you would kiss her"
It's all tight, professor."
" Then, my friend. 1 would begin te think
she had made something by marrying a rich
man."
New husbands, one and all, brush up your
manners te tha " auld wife." dive her some
of the sweet courtesies of the honeymoon, and
see what will come of It.

phase Is purely icsthetlc This Is the case
when Renio object, by nuseu of Its antiquity,
produces n sense or sublimity. We call It
the sublime of time as dlstlugulnhed from
the sublime et space. Examples of this
latter may le found In ebects of unusually

stractly considered, fur In that sense we have
antiquity nil about us n Itheut crossing the

Heap Big 8iret Wind."

Twe Indians entered a drug store en Third

companion was an aged and dried up spec!

dark, ill-fitting clothes, and each or them
had en moccasins. Their black slouch hats
only partially concealed their Jet black
hair.
Marching into the centre el the store the
red man after the style or the pew-wow
around the camp lire, expressed hlmsell as
fellows :
'Big Injun wents heap big sweet wind."
Without any hesitation the clerk at the
soda fountain turned en two glasses or the

satisfied.
