"WRITTEN FOB THE DISPATCH. 1
LNOBAS, tne dwarf
King had two ser
vants. They were both
' young Jellows ana
their master had taken
thenijoto his castle
when they were still
quite little boys. One
day. the two had been
living with him now
for many years, Mino
bas called them before
his throne.
"My dear lads," he
said to them, "you
have both been very
faithful and diligent
while vou have been
in my employ. Now that you are big and
strong and old enough to fight the battles of
this li.'e by yourself, I think it is but right
that you should go out and become inde
pendent. But before you leave me I would
like to make you each a present by which
you might remember me during the rest of
your days. Speak up and do not be afraid,
whatever you ask of me I will give you."
The two young men stood before the
dwarfs throne for some time without saying
anything at all. They wanted so many
things and tbey did not know what they
wanted most. At last one of them boldly
said:
"Well, Master, I have often heard that
cold is about as good a thing as a man can
have in this world, and if vou will give me
a bag of gold that will last me for the rest of
mv dajs, I guess I shall be satisfied."
For a moment the brow of the dwarf was
darkened with displeasure, but after awhile
he said:
"All right, young man, you shill have
whatever vou want, so here you arel" Then
he put his hand under his throne and from
beneath the seat he pnlled forth a large bag
filled with shining, glittering golden ducats
which ne handed to the money-IoVing youth
with these words: "Take it and use it
.freely; it will never get empty!"
The young man was delighted. He shoul
dered his treasure, bowed to the King,
thanked him and walked away.
"2sow, my young friend," the dwarf then
addressed the other servant, "what can I
give you? Do vou also want a bag of
gold?"
"Ko, sit," replied he. "I do not care
much for money, although I do not despise
it. If vou can give me something, that will
be of benefit to the whole world, as well as
to mvself, I should be very grateful in
deed." "
"Hm," answered the dwarf, "but money
would be a benefit to you and to the whole
world besides, if you gave everybody some
of your wealth." " "
"I do not think so," said the youag man,
"I believe that money sometimes does people
more harm than good!"
The King of the dwarfs nodded his head
approvingly and smiled at this answer.
"Money, my dear fellow," he replied, "is

without harm, but the people who do not
know how to use it, they are the ones com
ing to harm through it." ., ,
"Well, that is the same thffigin my opin
ion," quickly responded the youth, ""the
money is the cau'e of much trouble. If you
will give me anything, give me wisdom and
intelligence; that is all I want."
"I am glad to hear you say so," the dwarf
King now remarked. "Come along and I
will give you wcat you asked for." He
then took him away into a remote part of
the castle. At last they entered a small
dark room. The dwarf closed the door when
they both got inside, and suddenly the
young fellow became aware that there was a
wonderful light around him. Everything
that formerly looked dark and black to him
teemed now" to be surrounded by a halo ot
brilliancy and illumination. In the center
of the room he noticed a hole shaped like a
hath, and this hole was filled with some
wonderful liquid substance.
"Plunge into this bath!" commanded the
dwan, and the young man obediently
performed what he was asked to do. The
waves quickly closed over his head. The
next moment, however, he felt himself

lilted up aeain above the bath and the
dwarf pnlled him out of the liquid.
"Xow, my boy," said the dwarf, "go
hence, for vou have wisdom from the well
and intelligence from its fountain."
Then the young man departed, and as he
got outside the dwarl's castle he found his
wealthy young friend awaiting him. When
the latter heard what the other had asked
for he laughed. But the wise young man
did not heed his friend's jeers. So thev
continued their way together and there was
Tery little said, except by the rich yonng
man, who could not help boasting ot his
good luck. At last the sun set and the
shadows of the trees by the wayside grexr
larger. Then it became dark and the two
concluded to rest for the night under a tree.
Suddenly the young feHow with the bag of
gold cried out:
"Oh, but I am awfully hungry. I won
der where we might get something to eat?"
P" ''Well, but my dear fellow did vou not
think, of bringing something along?" asked
the wise youne man. "If people go travel
ing tbey hhould think of providing them
selves with food. Look here I have a couple
of delicious sandwiches. I bought them at
the last tavern, because I was afraid we
would not get anything in the wilderness.
Now what is the good of your gold, if you
have to starve?"
The wealthy youth looked at his bag with
the glittering ducats and he wished he had
a piece of bread instead. He got so mad,
that he would have thrown his monev bag
away, but his friend said: "Do not do that,
(here take a piece of my bread."
iiPresently both laid down to sleep. Then
"jthfrich young man had no blanket, but
fhisTriend, who with the wisdom of,fore-
Ihonght had provided himself with one, was
now able to cover himself up as snugly and
comfortably as a Kiug under his canopv.
Had he not been kindly disposed, the rich
young man would have frozen to death.
The next morning both continued their
journey, and at last they arrived in a large
c't.v-
"How, then, my wise friend," said he
with the bag of ducats, "let me show von
the power of money and the wonderful ben
efits of its possession. You shall be my
guest now, and I will entertain you in the
most sumptuous fashion imaginable. He
then immediately plnnged into the most
ridiculous extravagance. He bought a pair
of fine horses and a carriage. He dined -at

not take any part in these escapades of his
friend. Immediately upon his arrival in
the town he looked around lor the wise men,
that he might learn from them and be
taught in science and art He soon found a
very old, gray haired wizard, whose reputa
tion for learning extended all over the
world. This man knew all the secrets under
and above the sum. He knew the number of
hairs that would cover a bald man's head j he
knew how lone it would take a man with
out wings to fly to the moon, and he knew
how long it would take a man without legs
to walk to the north pole. To this wizard
the wise young man went and asked him
whether he wanted an apprentice.
"I do," replied the old man, but he
mut be able to answer me one question."
"Will you ask me and see whether I
will do?"
"Who do vou think is the wisest person
in this world?"
"Ton are," quickly replied the youth.
"Why?"
"Because most people think thcmselvesso
wise, that to inquire for other people's wis
dom they believe to be unnecessary!"
"You are certainly the wisest youth I
have ever seen," said the wizard, "and be
lieve mc I am proud to call you my ap
prentice." From that day the two lived together and
the voung man soon became known all over
the land as the wisest vouth that had ever

been heard of. Kings, lords, dukes, princes
and nobles came to him and asked for his
advice on all matters, and he became famous
the world over.
In the meantime, however, his rich young
friend with the bag of everlasting gold, con
tinued to squander his ducats in the most
reckless manner.and,as just about this time,
the King's treasury bad been robbed, every
body said that the strange young man, with
all the gold had stolen his wealth from the
King's safe. So one beautiful morning
when the young man stepped from his mag
nificent palace to go out and enjoy himself
as usual, the King's officers were waiting
for him at the door.
"We arrest you in the name of the King,"
they said, "as the thief who robbed our royal
treasury "
His protestations of innocence were with
out the least effect, and instead of going to
enjoy himself the young man was taken to
prison. Heavy chains were cut around his
wrists and ankles. He was given water and
dry bread for his only food, and he had to
sleep on the floor. The next day the officers
came into his cell and they hauled him forth
into the court room, where the King himself
sat on the throne to pronounce judgment.
When the young man was asked whether he
was guiltv of the charge preferred against
him he replied "No," but as he could not
bring any further proof the King said that
he would have to sentence him. The pen
alty for such a serious crime as robbing the
royal treasury was death, and it looked very
much as if the young man with the money
bag would have to die.
Fortunately for him, however, the wise
young man had heard of the affair, and
when he saw the danger his friend was in
he went into the court and spoke as fol
lows: "Your Royal Highness, this young man
is innocent of the charge of robbing your
treasury, and I can prove it" Then he re
lated abont the rift from the King of
dwarfs, and when the King heard about the
bag with the everlasting gold, he said:
"Can you produce that bag?"
This, of course, the wealthy young man
could do, and, as he showed the King how
it worked, that monarch stated: "The
young man is honorably discharged if be
will make me a present of that wonderful
money bagl"
"No, sir," replied the wise young man,
"that he will not do if be listens to mv
counsel. The bag is his whole fortune, but
I have no doubt that he will take enough
money from it to fill all the coffers you have
in your treasury!"
"Well, that will do," answered the King,
and the yonng man at once began to count
15,000,000 ducats down on the table before
the astonished monarch and his amazed
courtiers.
"Everybody was nleased for a moment,
but after awhile the King said:
"Gentlemen. I am much grieved to know
that we have not been able to detect the real
robber of the Treasury, and for the safety of
our land I think it is necessary that he
should be caught. For that reason I will
hereby promise that whosoever finds the real
thiet shall marry my only daughter, and I
wiil make him first lord of this realm."
This announcement created the greatest
excitement among the yonng courtiers in the
place, and everybody made up his mind to
go out and hunt for the thieT. But the wise
young apprentice of the famous wizard
quietly went up to the King and said :
"Will you take me to the treasury where
the money was stolen from ?"
The King at once complied with the
young man's request. "When he went into
the vault the wise youth looked around for
a moment, and then he turned around to the
King and remarked : "Your Majesty, there
are too many mice here. Look at these
holes in the ground, and look at the ducats
lying on the floor 1 I think it you teir up
the boards you will find your treasure."
And so it was. All the money was re
covered under the floor, but the King, who
recognized the wisdom of the young man,
kept his promise nevertheless, and the wise
young man married the Princess.

LITTLE MIAMI PEARLS.

Fishery of Modern Times.
A PECULIAR OHIO INDUSTRY.

Pearls in Ohio Kivers.

rWTtlTTEX FOB TDK DISPATCH.!
The pearl, more than any other jewel, is
suggestive of the Orient; of its languorous
luxury and magnificence; of the olive skins
and tawny tresses of its women, against
which its irridescent hues gleam out as they
never can against the paler beauties of the
North.
Old Bichard Alison wrote of
Orient pearl, a doable row
and Wilson told how
Morn advancing,
8 trews the earth with orient pearl;
as if it were so entirely a product of the East
that it was hardly to be thought of except
as an adjunct of oriental and barbaric
splendor.
Again, in the general mind, pearls are as
sociated with salt water, with deep seas and
hazardous adventuring down where ocean
monsters, terrible and grim, make their
habitat.
In the old geographies, in use when we
who are now men were school boys, and
perhaps still used somewhere, was a picture
of a pearl-diver, attired in a coffee-colored
cuticle, plunging down, down, down toward
the floor of old ocean, while various lepl
dopus, petromyzon, histiophorus, chon
dropterygians and other monsters of the
deep follow in hot pursuit.
How vividly our boyish imagination pic
tured the horror and agony of the unlucky
diver when on the return trip he would
drift within reach of their awful jaws.
Such object lessons of the dangers that
were braved in the pursuit of pearls helped
to give an exaggerated idea of their rarity
and value.
Now that our latest knowledge of the
methods by which pearls are acquired has
in a measure done away with this feeling of
awe and strangeness, it might he to the pe
cuniary advantage of the pearl merchant to
resurrect that ancient woodcut and give it
it wider circulation.
.While no mere fact can dim the exquisite
luster of the pearl, or detract one iota from
its place as the peerless qneen of jewels, it
is no less true that in this as in all else,
"Italy lieth over the Alps."
THE PEAEL'S INCEPTION.
The grain of sand (if it is a grain of sand)
covered oyer and added to by successive
layers of the nacre of the oyster, appeals
more to the romantic sense if it comes from
some far and unknown coast than if formed
and found in the shallow waters of some
native stream.
Nothing could be less strange to an
American than the place and methods of the
most famous of fresh-water pearl fisheries of
modern times.
The Little Miami river is a small tribu
tary of the Ohio, .which traverses three or
four of the southwestern counties of the
State of Ohio, emptying into the larger river
at Cincinnati.
Through Warren county it is confined
within a narrow valley that is rich in in
terest to the geologist and the antiquarian.
The river is small and shallow. Thecountry
about is rather brokeu and undulating,
sometimes hilly, but not rugged nor pre
cipitous. Upon this stream, in the north
ern part of the county, stands the pleasant
little village ot Waynesville, for 20 years
past the center of a pearl industry of no
insignificant proportions.
Tradition says that its advent was pre
ceded by the appearance of a mysterious
Hebrew, who went knocking around the
rocks with hisgeological hammer, and found
evidences of snch a wonderful conchological
formation that he suggested pearls to the
natives as being more than a possibility in
their river. It is more probable, however,
that they were first met "by chance, the
usual way," although the footprints of time
left upon the limestone formation of the lit
tle valley are suggestive of almost every
thing in the heavens, upon the earth and in
the seas.
But however the first pearl happened to
be found and recognized as a thing of value,
ever sinee that time the industry has been
pursued in a more or less desultory way, and
thousands of dollars' worth of "the little
gems have found their way from that quiet
hamlet to the markets of the world.
SEABCHING FOB JEWELS.
Those who engage principally in the
search for pearls comprise that flotsam and
jetsam of the population that all towns
have. Disciples of Isaac Walton, who are
endowed with the infinite gift of patience;
men who are constitutionally opp6sed to
steady labor; callow youths who fondly
hope to meet a fortune from the river's
bosom; and the traditional small boy,
whose active hands and sharp eyes often
enable him to outstrip all competitors.
In the spring, as soon as the water is
warm enough to permit, the searchers may
be seen wandering barefooted and bare
legged in the river, tsollecting the mussels
or fresh water mollusks, in which the pearls
are contained! They drag little boats or
floats after them, and when they feel a shell
under foot it is brought to the surface and
deposited on the float. When a number are
collected they go ashore with their cargo
and open the shells in any convenient place
on the bank. . ,
The pearls are usually found upon the lip
of the shell at the point farthest from the
hinge, and covered by the fine film of the
mantle. It is usually loose or attached to
the shell so slightly as to be easily removed.
Sometimes, however, it has become so incor
porated with the latter as to require the
services ot an expert lapidary for its re
moval. It is not, on the whole, an industry that is
even fairly remunerative to its followers.
Upon an average more than 150 shells are
opened for each pearl found; and sometimes
the labor of successive days and weeks
brings no reward at all. When the search
is successful the "finds" run in value from
the merest trifle to (occasionally) some hun
dreds of dollars. The largest sum ever re
ceived by the finder for a single pearl was
$425. But there is authentic record of one
of greater value, found manjr years since,
and first sold for- $100, which has subse
quently changed hands at the augmented
prices of ?500, 1,000, $1,500 and finally
$2,800.
The next in value to these, for which the
finder received $350, was a fine gem found
bv a lad in a pile of emptied shells, where
it had been overlooked as they were opened.
After these the scale declines rapidly, and
an ordinary "lucky find" is perhaps a pearl
worth $25 at first hands, while those worth
$50, ?75 or $100 are extremely rare. '
A VALUABLE INDUSTBY.
The industry reached its highest some
ten years ago. at which time it was so
eagerly pursued that the river was nearly
depopulated of mussels, not enough being
left for breeding purposes to keep up the
supply. A lesa thorough warfare has re
cently been made in consequence, and it is
hoped that the supply may rapidly increase
again. Not more than a couple of -dozen
pearls of any consequence have been taken
as yet this season, but among those have
been some handsomeones, one of a delicate
rose tint being especially noteworthy.
A sinele sale of about $2,500 00 worth of
fine specimens was made by a local dealer J
Lift vear, the purchasers being the Messrs.
Tiffanyi of New York. The collection is
now in their exhibit at the Paris Exposi
tion. It is easier to ask questions, than to an
swer them. A drive of 12 miles due west
from Waynesville brings us to the banks of
the sister stream, the Great Miami, where,
tjvv Tipaln havp hppn fnnnrl fnr mnnvvsm
but never in like quantity or value. Why
should the one stream be more favored than
the other?
INine nfiles below Waynesville, upon the
same river, is the famous landmark known
as Fort Ancient, the most remarkable and
extensive of the known works of the mound
building races. In some of the tombs that
have been opened there have been found,
among other articles for use and ornament,
a number ot pearls, similar to those now
being taken from the river. A curious evi
dence, this, of the antiquity of these beds.
Curious, that perhaps at about the time
that Cffisar was being tempted to invade
Britain by the wonderful stories ot the
pearls to be obtained from its rivers, this
ancient race in our land was testifying its
appreciation of the same gems by placing
them among the greatest treasures in their
tombs.
Curiosity has also been excited by the
great heaps of mussel shells still to be found
at certain points to the south, upon the
Ohio. Scientific investigators have thought
it impossible that the vast lmlk which was
comprised within these shells should have
been nsed as food, even were the former
dwellers there a bivalve-eating people.
Is it not at least open to conjecture that
the pearl was souhighly valued by them that
the search was regularly continued for ages
and ages, and that these shell heaps are the
landmarks ot their industry?
Fresh water pearl fishing is not peculiar
to America.
Tacitus wrote off "Pearls not very
orient, but pale and wan," as being among
the indigenous products of conquered
Britain; and half a thousand years ago
Scottish pearls were referred to in the trade
charter of the Paris Goldsmiths. Since
then there have been various spasmodic re
vivals of the search in northern rivers, the
last of which to assume any proportions oc
curred in 1855, when it is" said upward of
12,000 worth of gems were found.
ARTIFICIAL PEAELS.
The rivers of Bohemia, Sweden and Sax
ony also contain pearls, and the search is
carried on methodically under Government
inspection.
The people are not allowed to carry the
fishing to such nn excess as would interfere
with the cermancnt sunnlv or mnssels. The
mel, margaritafera, the" proper "pearl
oyster," is found in a great many places
where the pearls have not been discovered.
This is probably due to variations in tha
constituent of the soil and water of their
habitat
The pearl is formed by the deposit of suc
cessive layers of nacre or mother-of-pearl,
the irridescent, pearl-like inner layer of the
shell, forming about a nucleus of foreign
matter (presumably a minute particle of
sand) which has been accidentally taken
into the shell. This formation maybe read
ily seen by cutting a pearl open, the lavers
resembling the wrappings of an onion. This
process appearing so simple, it has often been
suggested that the production of pearls might
be carried on without limit by artificially
introducing the nucleus. Linnaus, the
famous naturalist, even went so far as to
announce this as an important discovery,
and it was for this thatbe received the order
of nobility from his Government, and not
because of his genuine scientific attain
ments, as is generally supposed. It is not
believed, however, that a perfect pearl can
be produced in this manner. The Chinese,
for a couple of thousand vears. have been
familiar with this "secret," and availed
themselves of it to as full an extent as has
been Jbund practicable. They insert small
matrixes.sometimes little images of Buddha,
within the lips of the mollusk and leave
them for two or three years, by which time
they are sufficiently coated witfi nacre to re
semble mother-of-pearl ornaments.
But while the artificial production of
pearlsjis probably beyond our reach, it cer
tainly would seem to be within the province
of our Government to protect and further
developsuch fisheries as we have. Occasional
pearls of some value have been found in
various streams throughout the country,
and the recent discoveries in the Duchein
river, in Wisconsin, have awakened new in
terest in the subject.
As the number of pearls to be obtained is
dependent in the first place upon the num
ber of mussels, pearl fishing should be
wholly prohibited daring the spawning sea
son; and as some years are evidently re
quired for the formation of a pearl of any
size, certain portions of the fishing gronnds
should be alternately protected for a term
of years. The policy of annihilation is a
poor one to pursue "in an industry which,
under proper fostering, could bejmi'de so ex
tremely valuable. James K. Eeeve.

which happened just when it was most un

very elaborate, costly basket. Small things
will irritate even great men, and this ex

came, and said: "Dear Sir lam at St

I relented at once, bnt my esteemed wife

sorrowfully declared she could not. Then
she turned' the letter over and finished it.
"I don't know but what you might write

A CHEAP PARIS TRIP.
A French Country Boy's Inexpensive Visit to
the Paris Exposition.
A story is going the rounds of a boy em
ployed at a theater in Lyons, France, who
took it into his head to see the Paris Exhibi
tion. He had plenty of energy, but very
little money. He set out on foot from Lyons
on the 10th of July, at 10 o'clock in the
morning, and took the route of Arnay-le
Due, Saulieu, etc. Nine days afterward at
2.30 P. m., he arrived at Pans. He had 11
shillings in his pocket on leaving home,
but he had to economize his funds,and by
sleeping in barns and living on bread, milk
and lard, he managed to reduce his expenses
to about three shillings. He spent a month
and ten days at, Paris; three days in the
week he gave np to work, and the fourth to
seeing the exhibition and the town. On the
26th of August, at 5 in the morning, he set
ont on his return journev. He got over 55
kilometres a day, and arrived home on the
4th of September. He spent on his return
journey about 3s. 6d., and had left 53. 9d.

SOME MISTAKES MADE BY BRIDES.
Bad Policy of Furnishing a House Accord

THE BABY KING'S BEIGN OP TEEB0B
tWMTTKT rOB THK DISPATCH. J
One of the happiest times in the lives of
most married people is the going to house
keeping for the first time, and so to speak
on "their own hook." This charming ex
perience of the holy estate of matrimony
never comes but once, and that is when in
the heyday of youth and young love's
dream, a young couple with minds crowded
by blissful anticipations enter upon life as
husband and wife in a home of their own.
The greatest charm of going to house
keeping is not given to those who wear off
the first freshness ot mutual love in a board
ing house, or in a sojourn with friends or
relatives, though even with these the change
from strch life to their own house has much
of pleasure, even it only due to novelty and
the sense of freedom and independence. It
is a luxury to get away from the prying
eyes of the other boarders to get away
from the necessity of being agreeable
to bores, to escape from the tireless
tongues of the idle women who "chronicle
small beer" and retail scandals with the
prefacing remark, "Now don't you ever let
on I told you" to be released from the stale
jokes and long stories of the conceited man,
who will tell them over a dozen times and
expect his hearers to be amused and enter
tained. So, after a certain amount of board
ing, the picture of a home of one's own, with
all its roominess and freedom and privacy,
fills the imagination of most people with
fairest bopes of joy and happiness
Bnt the first beauty and richest pleasure
of founding aJiome is at the outset, when
bride and bridegroom go to housekeeping at
once, when they are so thoroughly in love
witn each other that all mistakes are con
sidered jokes, only to be laughed at, and all
mishaps are regarded as matters to be borne
with love's philosophy. At this time
"John" spends his happiest hours hanging
pictures, arranging books and otherwise
making himself generally useful after
his day's work in business, while
the happy wife flits about intent
upon helping, and making beautiful their
little home. They work cheerily togetner,
and not a cloud is to be seen, not a jar to be
heard, not a shadow to be perceived. They
never dream that the days will come when
the loving husband will no longer be will
ing to smash bis fingers in doing work for
which he has no capacity for love, or too
lazy to do a stroke after his daily toil is
over. Going to housekeeping just at first
develops in many men powers hitherto
unknown. They show an ability for house
hold work before undreamed of. They bring
their great minds down to its small details
with marvelous adaptability.
SOME GOOD HUSBANDS.
Some of the most prominent citizens of
Pittsburg began to do the family marketing
when they went to housekeeping, and are
splendid hands at it yet. They can go
about the market places and dicker as to
chickens, and eggs, and butter, an 1
sundries, with as eager an interest for get
ting the best article for the least money as
though they were engaged in a big wheat
deal, or a contract for a million dollars'
worth of steel rails. Famous lawyers get
up early on market days, so as to secure a
bucket of the best "smear case," or to get a
couple of pounds of the sort of sausage that
goes off before the snn has fairly
got above the rim of the horizon.
Noted business men may always be
se;n in the market early, getting the cream
of its contents and the pick of the country
man's products. Though it is to be hoped
there are few of the millionaires who econo
mize on their families by simnlv eettin? a
soup bone and materials for a cheap boiled
dinner, when tbey themselves are to dine
elsewhere. Then there are some men so
much in favor of home rule that they give
the orders to the cook, and insist upon buy
ing their wives' clothes. They are so de
termined to know how the money goes that
the wives they have solemnly vowed before
high heaven to endow with all their worldly
goods have hardly a quarter a week for
pocket money and car fare.
But all this closeness and grind and down
right stinginess does not develop in the first
stages of marriage and housekeeping. Then
all is rosiness and bliss.
xne oriae, wno is ricn,wno has had a
fortune of greenbacks and wedding presents,
who has money enough to order all she
wants, and go to honsekeeping in "perfectly
elegant style," has none of the pleasure of
the average woman who goes into her own
little house, and proposes to do her own
work. The former, with servants to do all
that has to be done, who has the option of
idleness with novels, or fanoy wont, or so
ciety calls, missex the happiness of the wife
who has just work enough to maintain her
in high health, and whose pleasure it is to
keep her house in tidy and beautiful trim
for the enjoyment of the man she love?.
Any number of books, and manuals and
household magazines tell how to goto house
Keeping with the greatest economy, and yet
have all that is really necessary to good
living, but very much of the sage advice is
balde'rdash and stuff. A writer on domestic
economy laid great stress on the point of
furnishing the kitchen first and letting the
parlor go, If money was not plenty.
MISTAKES OF BEIDES.
Have everything that is needed in the
kitchen was the chief commandment, and a
bride, we are told of, accepted it as good
gospel and proceeded to live up to it. So,
with a housekeeping list in hand, she laid
in so many utensils tor the kitchen that
sure enough there was nothing left
for the parlor. Bnt very many of the things
were articles that wonld only comejnto
clay perhaps once in a year, that cluttered
up the pantry and shelves, and were more of
a nuisance than anything else, and served
for nothing so much as reminders of her
folly, while the pretty parlor she had so
often contemplated in building her castle in
Spain did not materialize for many a
day." Another housekeeper relates, as her
mistake, that she furnished the whole
house at once, when they went to
housekeeping, and thus, with their limited
means, they got inferior furniture, and
articles that came within their pile.
As a consequence, she relates, We have got
a lot of old stuff that will stayby us forever,
because we cannot afford to give it away or
send it to auction, which amounts to about
the same thing, or to make a bonfire of it on
election night when our party goes in with
a fat majority.
The best way, as we take it, for the aver
age man and wife to go to honsekeeping is
to buy at first only the essentials, and get
them as good and substantial, and as much
to their taste as possible. Then as experi
ence shows they are needed and the money
is at hand other things can be added. New
things once in a while renew the first pleas
ure and will be more appreciated when
they come in answer to strong desire and a
real necessity supported by the requisite
cash. .
A young wife enjoys the keenest pleasure
in her first housekeeping, especially when
she has her pretty home to herself, and does
her own work and has no meddhng,careless,
shiftless domestic to handle her precious
things, or make her unhappy with the exas
perating ways of kitchen maids generally
With just enough work to keep her pleas
antly busy, the happy hours go by. She
will decorate her parlor with per
chance a dozen tidies or fancy scarfs
with what seems careless abandon, but
is really a study of aesthetic style, she will
arrange her little pieces of decorated china
and ric-a-brac in the most effective and
taking manner, the curtains will be draped
with artistic grace, and everything will be
made, as she views it, cozy and comfortable
and sweet.
Then, the tabisJaili fc a$tiih.; common
china it may be and linen not of the utmost
sneness or satiny texture, perhaps, but yet
spotless nad polished. The cooking will be
beyond reproach, and the happy wife will
find her reward for her work in her hus
band's admiration and appieciatioa of her
efforts.
THE P1BST CLOUDS
usually coma with the baby the new home
ruler who lords it over the whole house.
A baby always "bosses" the situation. A
yell from "that baby" will set the entire
rrunSi? an UP104' and commotion.
That baby has powers to spoil everything,
and vet they would not part with him for a
million dollars. He more than doubles his
mother's work, and harasses her by day
and night If any man doubts this let him
imagine himself at work with a baby to
take care of. Xet him contemplate himself
with that baby on one arm while he en
deavors to do his accustomed work with one
hand. We have seen women cooking din
ners with a sick and fretful baby in arms
while they only had one band to use. Men
have their work for" eight or ten hours
a day, but a woman, with children
to take care, is never done is never sure of
a holiday can never count upon a good
night's rest. An excursion may be planned,
but if that baby chooses to raise a. rumpus
its mother cannot go. A picnic is proposed,
but if that baby is cutting an eye tooth, or
takes a notion to be cross and cantankerous
the whole thing must be given up. Perhaps
invitations come to a card party, and that
night, of all others, will be seized upon by
that baby to show symptoms of measles,
or the whooping cough, or something that
will keep his mother at home. Then his
father will go alone to the party, and will
come home in splendid spirits and detail to
his tired wife how very handsome Jlrs.Smith
looked, and bow well Mrs. Brown played
and how elegantly Mrs. Jones was arrayed,
and such other interesting facts as are likely
to make his1 wife, who has spent the dullest
of dull evenings, cheerful and happy.
It is fortunate for these babies and house
hold darlings that mother-love is so deep
and strong and true, that the mothers are
such loyal and devoted subjects of his
majesty the reigning baby. Bat alas!
with all the wealth of love for them, they
serve to break np, In large measure, the
charm of housekeeping. The nursery far
outweighs the parlor, and the tidies go bang,
and the scarfs no longer look Esthetic,
and the bric-a-brac is not dusted, and'
a general air of neglect begins
to pervade the premises. The baby out
ranks everybody and everything. The
husband finds that his comfort is not so
carefully attended to that his wife is ab
sorbed in nursery cares, and that overwork,
weariness, loss of sleep, and all the small
troubles involved in the care of young chil
dren have made her irritable and cross, and
then come sharp words and domestic infelic
ity, amid the cares and
WOEBIES OP LITE.
It is a hard thing for,a man to put him
self in his wife's place, but if be would
take time and thought to try it occasionally
and to endeavor to realize that human na
ture is the same in both men and women, he
could form some conception of the worries
and troubles that beset her path in the care
of a family, and the demands of housekeep
ing. Consideration aud appreciation of
what she has to contend with would do
much toward making the happiness of the
whole family.
"Oh, if I had known what it was to be
married, said the young mother of thre
little children, I would not have married
the best man that ever lived, if he had a
mint of money. I am so wearied, and
worried and worn ont, that if it were not
for leaving my little darlings to a step
mother, I would gladly lie down and die.
When the baby cries, as babies will, Harry
puts on his hat and goes to the club, or the
Y. M. C. A. rooms. I wonder what he
would -think if I should put on my hat,
and do likewise."
This poor woman conld not afford to hire
help id her honsekeeping. Poverty com
pelled her to drag along as best she could in
caring for her children, and doing the
household work. No pleasures for her,
nothing but endless incessant toil without
she sympathy of the husband she loved,.
uoes any one wonaer that sne was discour
aged and disheartened and that her house
keeping was what the energetic, brisk,
hefty old girls call "slack and shiftless."
Housekeeping is a noble art. and in its
best state is essential to happiness, but in
the present stage of civilization it is becom
ing bo complicated and onerons in its re
quirements that the average woman cannot
live up to its demands and take proper care
of a family of children at the same time.
To keep up with the present pace of the
procession requires a woman of iron nerves,
of tireless energy, of unflagging zeal, and
strength far beyond the capacity and
powers of the ordinary woman. It may be
that the presentJge for physical culture
may develop both body and mind to such
extent that women will take hold of the
domestic problem, and solve it by co-operation
or organization, or some
method that will overcome the wasteful
ness and extravagance of the common
mode of housekeeping. Men pool their
is-iues, and form trusts to economize time
and money in their business enterprises, so
why should not women? It is stated Mrs.
John A. Logan, Mrs. Ellen Foster, Miss
ivate sanoorn and Miss Frances Wiliarn
have formed a stock company with a capital
stock of 50.000 to establish a training
school for domestic service, and also an
intelligence office.- This is a praiseworthy
idea, but as long as domestic service is
considered a menial occupation and ranks
as the lowest of indnstiial oconpations,
their success will be something of a
miracle. A scheme to do away with the
most onerous burdens and trials of house
keeping would be more to the point and
the acceptance of the age.

The Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and
Beading aud Baltimore and Ohio Bail
ways, of our own State, are discarding the
stoves as fast as steam apparatus can be in
troduced into their cars. The New York
Central used steam last winter under the
compulsion of the law of that State and
every other road in the State is expected to
be rid of the stoves by November 1. The
Boston and Albany Company, of Massa
chusetts, beats by steam all the cars over
which it has control. The trains of the Old
Colony road, the "Western division of the
Boston and Maine road, the Fitchburg and
the New England roads will be heated by
steam during the coming winter. The New
York, Nefr Haven and Hartford is the only
New England road of any importance that
has refused to discard the stove, and snit
has been brought against the company by
the Attorney General of New York to
compel it to obey the State law on this sub
ject. The traveling public io be congratulated
on the rapid progress of this much-needed
fcform in the heating of railway cars. The
dangers of railway travel will certainly be
very much lessened by the exit of the store.
THEI'fiE T1EED OP P0LXGAMT,
Tet the Mormon Saints Fear to Go Back on
the Doctrine.
The truth is, says a Salt Lake City cor
respondent ot the New York Commercial
Advertiser, that the Mormons are as anxious
to be rid of polygamy as we are to destroy
it. They acknowledge that it is not ill con
sonance with the spirit of the times, pre
cisely as the Presbyterians admitted at
their late convention that the doctrines of
"elect infants" and "eternal damnation"
were repugnant to it. But the reason they
assigned or retiinng them in their'irou-clad
creed was that one stone knocked out of
their building would weaken the whole
structure.
So the obnoxious dogmas remain in print
and are no longer advocaied 'from the
pulpit. That is precisely the case with
polygamy in the Mormon church. The
leaders dare not "go back" on the "revela
tion," latt.. all iBTeUtinju should be

SUNDAY THOUGHTS
-OK-
morals:
AND
BY A OLEBGYMAN.
1WH1TTXS VOn TBI DMFATCB.1
"What is called the "Lord's Prayer" is
the most wonderful of petitions in nothing
more wonderfnl than in its reach. Study it
for a moment, clause by clause. "Our
Father." These are the most revolutionary
wordt ever uttered. They affected a moral
change of front in human thoughts. The
gods many of heathendom, and the gods
scientific of Christendom, they transformed
into a personal and into a paternal bene
factor. The "power not ourselves, which
makes for righteousness," they disclose
as the only living and true Supreme; an in
finite intelligence, but also an infinite per
son; omnipotence, but even more love all
theology in two words.
"Hallowed be Thy name." Here is
reverence. This phrase would banish the
profanation of the name of God. It neces
sitates a high and holy regard or all things
sacred the divine word, the house of prayer,
the Lord's Day, the dealings ot Providence.
Nay, it leads us to revere man himself, made
in the image of (Jod a miniature deity. As
God is the supreme mystery of eternity, so
man is the supreme mystery of time. By the
eiercle of knowledge, reason and will, we can
outseethe eagle and outrun the reindeer and
ontlift the ox and outfight the lion and outride
the sea. We put the planets in onr scales and
welch them. We place natnra in ourcracible
and make her answer our questions with explo
sive sparks. Shall we not bow down before
and adore onr Maker, our Father, who
"shrouds Ilimsolt In the mystery ot bis pavilion
and answers from the secret place of thnnder?"
"Thy kingdom come." This clause contains
the whole missionary enterprise. We are di
rected to pray that the earth may he like
heaves. Ana if to pray, then to work, and if
to work then to pay for it. Hardest of all, we
are to give ourselves, as well as our money
and our labor and our prayers. What kind of
benevolence is that which extends only just
arnnnd the corner?
"Giro us this day our daily bread." Hera is
dependence. Who can provide his own bread?
We can prepare the ground and sow the grain
we cannot command a harvest. To punctnre a
cloud and make it distil rain, to attemper the
air and oblige it to minister vitality, to tap the
snn and force it to ponr forth light and beat, to
mix the soli with chemical elements and per
suade it to transmute the death of the seed
into the life of a crop dearly, this is as much
beyond human power as creation itself. Hence
we are driven to our knee?, after all our Indus
tries, to pray for our daily bread.
"Lead us not into temptation." This Is a cry
for deliverance. Man is the movable center ot
a circumference ot peril. We are vital from
bead to foot and most vital of all in the soul.
And onr enemies are named legion, for they
are many. With two worlds full of tempters
and the soul for a stake, who would not pray
for deliverance!
So praying, we need not despond. Least of
all are we to borrow trouble. Is God deadT
Oh, exclaims one, the heavens are abont to fall!
Well, let 'em fall. That is not onr concern.
Our business is not to stay up the heavens, but
only to see to it that if they fall they shall come
down on honest men and true women. For the
rest, remember those opening words of the
prayer "Our Father."

Interesting- Yonns Church Members.
Oliver Wendell Holmes lays he "would
rather be 70 years young than 40 years old.'
Being a physician, he suggests the ways and
means. Some of these, are hygienic, others
aresoeial; all are within common and every
d ly reach. Ministers especially need not grow
aged and musty. That fatal "dead line" of 60,
by attention to Br. Holmes' prescription of
plenty of fresh air and a lively interest in the
outlying youth and health may rerede as we
advance like any other will o' the wisp.
Here, too, is the secret of a pastor's hold on
the more youthful members of his flock. Let
him be their friend their companion. Let him
get at their thoughts, ways, purposes. Let film
fill his lungs witn their ozone. Let him pre
pare ma sermons who. one eye on tne Doys ana
girls. In this way, being one of them, ha will
interest and hold them.., Tfaey'wiU hear him as
they do one another and with added interest,
because ot his larger knowledge and wider ex
perience. Brother ministers read these llnts:.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not
breaths;
In feelings, not In figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. He
most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest; acts the
best;
And he whose heartbeats quickest lives the
longest
Lives in one hour more than in years do some
Whose fat blood sleeps as It slips along the
veins.
Pastors Should be Indnstrloas.
One of our exchanges Insists that no minister
In good health need ever spend a day out of his
regular work, and argues the matter in the fol
lowing fashion: "It Is true that he may not bs
installed as pastor, but while be waits for regu
lar settlement he can make a field. Hundreds
of school houses in the rural sections are open
to him. Let him preach in them. If be lives
in the city let him preach the gospel at the
street corners. There is no more. blessed work
and none which is more Chrlstlike in spirit.
Let him give himself no concern about his sup
port, if be cannot at once enter upon perma
nent work where it is guaranteed. He will be
taken care of. The most careless and indiffer
ent Christian would like to help a man who
showed such earnestness. If questions of sup
port muss enter into consiaeration, let mm
remember that he is much more likely to be
called lrom such blessed activities than from
inglorious ease.
A Need for Magnetic Preachers.
All over the country, churches without
pastors (significantly called vacant churches),
kfaave their drag-nets out with the purpose and
with the hope of drawing in a preacher, who.
In his own turn shall draw. The power of
drawing is certainly a valuable gift. Those
who possess it do not march in regiments. The
men, who, having drawn, can hold are yet
more rare. Accordingly, since there are not
enough of these magnetic parsons to go round,
we commend another plan, which might be
adopted by every church, and which might
answer even better than a double-action
clerical crowd-drawer in tilling the news and
keeping them full. This plan is outlined in the.
following worus oy one ot our most prominent
pastors: .
"The best way to keep a church fall is for
overy member to attend regnlarly every service.
That will help; then let every member bring as
many people as possible withJilm. Draw them
In. There is a great deal of. nonsensical talk
nowadays about getting ministers that will
draw. A man came ud to mv study the other
day from one of the churches tbat is vacant,
and he said: 'fwisb. you could recommend us a
minister for onr church.' 1 said: 'I can recom
mend a dozen!" He seemed rather bluffed at
tbat; thought that, was a large nnmber, and
said: 'Won't you suggest a name?' And I went
on suggesting one name after another! I sug
gested one man and he said: 'I understand
tbat man has not a very strong voicef I sng-
Eested another. 'Well, 1 understand tbat man
not a very good reader? And another man.
Well, I understand that man has a very stiff
and formal delivery.' Finally he said: 'Well,
what we want in our church is a minister tbat
will draw.' "Oh, no, my Christian friend, what
you want Is a church that will hold. Yon
haven't got it. Twenty congregations have
passed through your church in the last 20
years, And they have passed through because
you have not had a chnrch that will hold taa
people after they got into it. The minister
cannot hold. Success depends not half so much
upon the minister as upon yon. the church.' "
We have said something llfco this before In
these columns. True, when the congregation
has learned the text we will change the wrmos.

Toynbee Hall has now been a center of light

who have sought to make up by personal con
