Four girls sat around a pretty lanch table on which was spread a very nice little tneaL The roo:u, tastefdlly fur nished, and the drew of the hostess tbe latest thing in tea gowna proved that she had an ample purse at command. So, in fact, did the china, the silver, the damask upon the board. Tbe tea-gown, the little cap pe-ched upon the lovely hair, all the matronly affectations of dreaa, as well as the wed ding ring And keeper upon her finger, were tokens that she had now been mAr ried a year. Eat as iher guests studied her face they became aware that it wore a worried, puckered look that they hail never seen upon it in the days of her single blessedness, and being near rela tives and very intimate they did not make any pretense of not noticing iL "Yoa don't look well, my JeAr," said her cousin Persis, breaking the silence. "Yoa don't look comfortable some how," said Ler sister Fannie. "I know that look of old." "Yoa look cross," said FledA, plamp- ly, taking another tea biscuit .from the piate. "That is the Ion and short of it. Penelope." -Thank you," said Penelope, tossing her head. B Jt suddenly she set the plate she was aboat pacing to her guests down npin the table again, drew a little scrap of lace and linen cambric from some mys terious recess of the teagown, and appli ed it to her eyes. "He. hasn't taken to beating yoa, has he?" asked Persis. "Why, what a question! Of course not: answered Tenelope. "At all events," said Persia, "I had as soon be lashed with a whip as with a tongue." "Laurence is incapable of scolding. said Mrs. Chapone. "But is it Laurence?" said Fannie. "It is always the husband when one is married," said Persis. "Yes. I confess it is Laurence. He be he is always tAlking aboat bis moth er's cooking," sobUd Penelope, ttirly breaking down. "He really did love the things his mother made for him. Now, I deal with a good baker ; I have Vien na bread ; I vary the sorts, all light and good, and I think I known aboat meat and vegetables, and I like fruit deserts. I can bay so much that is good, but it is that old New England, home-made cook ery that Iorence pines for. The other day he said in quite a tragic way, 'Ob, for one of those dear old boiled apple dumpling-.'" "Aa fully indigestible," said Persia, in ber doctor's voice. "I went to visit dear Mrs. Chapone be fore I was married," said Penlope, "and yoa went with me, Fannie." "How kind she was," said Fannie. be was always cooking something good" "Good!" said Penelope. "O Fannie, "I love and respect vpy mother-in-law. She is the salt of the earth. But every thing swam in grease." "The bread rauie on the ta b'e from the oven," said Fannie. "Four kinds each meal," said Pene lope. "Coffee, tea, choco'ate, pies, waf fles, for breakfii it. Bacon, fried potatoes, fried everything " "And she made one taste it all," laugh ed Fannie. "When we got borne," said Penlope, "we went to bed and had a billions at tack apiece. All that time Laurence liv ed in the country, oat of doors all tbe while, on horseback, in the open air for hours, rowing, fishing, superintending the farm work, lending a hand himself Yoa know lumbermen np in Maine can live on fat pork And beans. But now he comes from his cilice to the fiat or walks a block or two after tea. If he takes me anywhere we usually ride. I know he would not like the same things, bat it has gotten to be a mania with him. "Just so," said Persia, "and you suffer." "Why, if I were to hint his mother's cooking might not be tbe best known on earth, we should qaarreL" said Penelope. "Already I am so siek of that continual repetition of home-made bread that I want to shriek when I hear it. I tried to make a batch, and Bridget tried to make another; the result was not encouraging.' "I don't know what yoa are to do, Penelope," sighed Fannie. "Resist tyranny from tbe first," said Fled a. "I know what too ought to do," said Fleda. "Ask his mother down. Let her cook for you a month. Shell do it She'll just know how her poor boy suf fers from want of proper nourishment. She'll come and yon will see. "I don't know bat what yoa are right,' said Penelope. "My sister-in-law knows I all her ways now and is old enoogh to be VN. I 1 1 I ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1893. left in charge and Ma Chapone just adores Laurence. Perhaps I can learn how to do all those greasy things And make four kinds of hot bread every day. Ill do anything to make Laurence hap- py" "Remember, I put it into your head,1 said Fleda, "If I am rather young yet, and don't like Mrs. Uateman's lectures, and do read fairy tales, I have an origi nal idea or two now and then." And shortly after, the three girls went home and Mrs. Laurence Chapone sat down to write a letter to her mother-in-law. "Your mother is here," said Penelops one afternoon as her husband entered tbe dining room. "She is oat in the kitchen getting yoa tip one of her din ners. I wrote, dear, and asked her to come and teach me her ways." "You are an angel," said Laurence "Djar mother, what a perfect woman she is! And if yoa can approach her in cooking " Then he rushed out into the kitchen. where, amids the steak anl a smell of frying shone his mother's round and rosy lace. "We're just dishing the pot-roast, dear," said she, "and it's beautifully larded with the pork. And yon shall have apple fritters to-day. There wasn't qaite time for apple dumplings. Wheat bread and biscuits, Indian and rye all turned out well. And I've ju9t tossed up a cheese padding and got the chocolate right" Biddy is as smart as can be to learn. "With an illegant cook like yourself to the fore it's a pleasure, marm," eiid Biddy. "I haven't seen such lashing since I come from Ballybofay'.' And so with smiles and pleasant talk, the four weeks' visit and the meals his mother cooked began. It occurred to Penelope sometimes that they principally lived on butter, lard drippings and sweet oil. The very soap was covered with little globbules of fat. Tbe smell of the frying-pan awoke her at dawn. There were jars of "oily cooks" called doughnuts on the pantry shelves. Before she went to bed Mrs. Chapone served her son with chocolate of the rich est sort and Welsh rare bit or with lob ster salad and coffee with beaten eggs. Penelope took her lessons patiently and lived in a world of smoke n:id friz ale, devoted the hours she had sp at over her muslins to beating eggs or stirring plum padding, adopting cooking aprons permanently, and was never free from a headache. Laurence also complained of his head, but his devoted wife never hinted that a whole mince pie after fried scallops galore for break fcirt, might be the cause of it 'We htven'l seen anything of Pene lope for an age," said Coasin Persis one day. "Can't yoa run over, Fleda? yoa have nothing t j d." "Oh, as to nothing to do," said Fleda "But I'll go." And she went.' When she reached Penelope's flat the door was ajar and she entered unan nounced. There was no one in the par lor, bat from tbe dining room she heard Penelope's voice : "Can't yoa eat anything, dear?" "A little weak tea and a slice of dry toast no butter," replied Another voice that of Laurence but never had it been so lugubrius. "But Laurence, dear, I can cook every thing your mother's s vie now, said Penelope. Wont yoa have a few frit ters r -Fritters!" cried Laurence, with an expression of disgust. "And there is still a mince pie ; I can heat it at once," said Penelope. kDon't mention mince pie," said Lau rence. "My dear, tuxs is excellent. "And for dinner?" said Penelope. "Some plain boiled mutton, stale bak er's bread, and oranges," said Laurence. Fleda smothered a laugh as she made her appearance in tbe dining room. Laurence was very yellow. His noee was red and there vtere pimples at tbe corners of his mouth. Penelope's skin was a little rough and her eyes not as bright as usual. "How do yoa do, Liarence?" Fleda said. "N'ot well," said Laurence. "N'or I," said Penelope. "We are both billions," said Laurence, but we are in tbe doctor's hands and shall get over it no doubt. ' Uood-by, dear ; don't go into that hot kitchen to day , Bridget can quite manage our plain dinner. Remember no sweets nor fats none of those greasy messes. We must diet." "Well," said Fleda looking at her Cou sin. "I tookyoar advice, dear," said Penel ope, "and Ma Chapoue has been cooking for as for a month, and so kind, so sweet she has been, and I have learned all her receipts. The principle is easy soak everything in fat and eat everything red hot." "Yes," said Fleda. Well?" "And now he won't let me cook any-thin-," said Penelope, "he spoke of 'greasy in eases' to-day, Fleda, his mother does not dream of it. I wouldn't have her know for the world ; but he has had enough of the old-fashioned cooking he a-ted to bemoan." "I knew hewoald," stl Fleda; "that is why I proposed that yoa should ask ber to come." "Fleda!" cried Penelope," "I thought it was that I might learn lo please FledA "Fleda, you are very yoong to be so de praved," sighed Penelope. "Ingrate! yon ought to thank me," said Fleda. "You will never hear about his mother's cooking again." And Penelope never did. A Little Girl's Experience In a Lighthouse. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep ers of tbe Got. Lighthouse at Sand Beach. Mich, and are blessed with a daughter, four years old. Lift April she was taken down with measles, followed with a dreadful cough and taming into a fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit treated her, bat in vain. She grew worse ramdir until she was a mere "tandful of bones." Then she tried Dr. lung's New Discovery and after the nse of two and a half bottles was completely cured.

Take, for instance, that favo rite canine known as the terrier, a name given the breed from its habit of follow ing game into borrows in the earth. which latter in Latin is termed terra. By WAy of quick gradations the word was metamorphosed into terrier. A skye ter rier is so called because the breed was once chiefly raised on the island of Skye, one of the Hebrides. The celebrated Dandy Dinmont terrier obtained its dis tinctive title from the fact of its being de picted as the favorite of a character bear ing that name in Sir Waiter Scott's "Guy M-nnering." The fox terrier was so named because it was oriinally kept as an addition to every pack of foxhounds. Bloodhounds derive their name from the possession of a peculiar power of scenting the blood of a wounded animiL In old en times stag hunting was a favorite amusement of the nobiiity, and the dogs used in such sport part greyhounds and part bloodhounds were given the na:n3 of staghounds. Fox-hounds, in like man ner, were trained to hunt the wily ani mal. Voriou' explanations have been given of the origin of tne term grey hound, some authorities claiming that the prefix grey is taken Fratus, meaning Greek; others that it signifies great. while still others say that it has refer ence to the color of the animal. In no other breed of hounds is the blue or grey color so prevalent, and consequently the last mentioned seems the most plausible. Harriers are chiefly used in hunting bares in Eagland, while the title beagle, applied to a breed which is an inveterate enemy of rabbits, is probably derived from the Celtic beag, or bite, or the Welsh back, signifying little, they being in reality a small species of hound. A pointer is so called because of its habit of stopping and pointing at game with its nose, while the setter gets its naue fom a like habit, excepting that it crouches instead of standing when pointinz under similar circumstances. Newfoundland dogs were origin-I'y na tives of that country and Librador, from which circumstance they receive their ti tle. In the sam j manner the noble St. Bernards are so called from tbe famous monastery of that name in the Alps That rather dangerous breel exiled Spiu or Pomeranian dogs, a variety of the Es quimau, were first bred in Pomerania, Russia, but the popular name of Spitz was probably derived from the errone ous notion that they originated in Spitz enbergen. Spaniels, of which there are many breeds, are supposed to have first come from Spain, from which circum stance is derived their distinctive names. Charles I. was an ardent admirer of a small variety of this animal, and from that arose the designation of his pets known the world over as the King iar!es. Mastiff is the term applied to a very large and powerful species of the canine family, and there is considerable conflict of opinion regarding the origin of the word. Some claim that it is derived from the Italian mastino, or the French mcs tin, both of which signify large-Umbe l. Gibers, again, say its true origin is the old German masten, to fatten, because the mastiff is a large dog anl s) seems better fed than any other. Poodle is derived from the German puJel, a puddle or pool. They are without doubt the most intelligent of all canines. The Shepherd dog called the co'.lie in Scotland, from the Gaelic cuilean, or puppy g tins its title from the fact of its being use4 to watch sheep end protect them from ma rauders of every description.

In one cf oor exchanges we find an in teresting account of a small boy who, to help his mother, tried to secure a pos tion in a banker's olfice. He was small of his sge and feared he might not get the place. Some fifty boys were waiting to see the banker. There was An excitement on the street. loud talking mingled with profanity, and the boys, hearing the noise, went out to join the spectators. It was such a scene as one sees occa sionally in the streets. A heavily lade a truck. A tired beast of burden refusing to go further from sheer exhaustion and overwork. A great brutal fellow with arms uplifted, ready to bring the lash down upon the quivering flesh. A number of L-ucks were waiting for the refractory animal to move on, the drivers not in the best of humor, as some of them urged their companion to "give it to him !" as they termed iL Once more the lash was uplifted to come down with brutal force, when sud denly from oat the throng a small boy with a pale, resolute face stepped forth, and going to the side of tbe track, said, loud enough to be hear! by all : "Sp batting ymr hortt ."' The driver looked amazed. Sjcha little fellow to utter a command '. "What did you say, yoangster?" he asked, on gaining his self possession. "Did you tel' me to stop lickin' this 'ere boss?" he added. "'Caus9 if yoa did I'll break this whip across your face !" His temper was rising. The great veins swelled out on his temple, as stooping down he fairly yelled: "Let go, I tell yoa." The boy did not flinch, although the whip was uplifted, while the horse, who already recognized in bira a friend, rub bed his nose geutly against tbe sleeve of his faded blue jacket. The big brutal dr.ver, inwardly admiring the little boy's pluck and beginning to realize that he was not to be frightened by threats, changed his manner an 1 said : "I don't want to get into any trouble, yonngs'er, see !

A few kind words and the horse moved on with a low whinny, as if to say to his little rescuer : 1 Thank you for your kindness, my boy." As the crowd dispersed, one seedy looking individual remarked to his com panion : 'I say, Billy, tbe kid's made of the right kind of stuff." Another of the spectators, a middle- aged man, with a thoughtful, serious face, richly dressed in fur-lined coat, held the same opinion. "A wonderful boy !" he inwardly com mented. "Brave and self reliant ; I like his face, too ; an open, manly counte nance. Just such a lad as I should like to have about me. By the way," glanc ing at bis time-piece, "that reminds me I have advertised for an dike boy and should be at my desk." Five minutes later he was seated in bis office interviewing the applicants. One after another he dismissed, but when another applicant entered, the banker's face beamed with pleasure as he recognized the little defender. He found Lim a good penman, neat in personal appearance and well recom mended ; and Harold Dean entered the banker's office at four dollars a week in stead of the usnal price, three, and is now not only helping his good mother, but on the way to a fortunate and happy life.

EDUCATIONAL The close of the present public school term is sear at hand, And in a few more weeks the record of the term of 1832-3 will have been made. Regular attend ance, good teaching, thorough and sys tematic work have prevailed throughout the county, and the final and complete record at the close of the year will, w believe, show marked and encouraging progress. l.tU)IN(j TU SUIOuLA, The Coarse of Study has been put into practical o, oration in every school here tofore known as "ungraded," to that all the schools of the county sow have the essential features and advantages of the grv.ltd system. There are still irreg ularities in many schools and adverse conditions to thorough grading in some) districts ; but with the progress already made And the advantages of systematic school work fully established, we have reason to hope that time and work and careful management will bring final and complete success inevery school. It is to this feature of our schools that this col umn is devoted. TESJI REPORTS. The term report blanks have been mailed to every teacher. Let them ail be carefully and accurately filled, so that the record of every school and of every pupil shall make these reports what they are intended to be a reliable and help ful guide to the next teacher. PROMOTIONS. Under the old system of self-promo tion many pupils were far in advance of their real abilities in text-book work. It is the purpose of the Course of Study to avoid such mistakes in the future. Teach ers should therefore grade carefully and promote cautiously, keeping ia view the pupil's natural and acquired ability, his advantages for advancement during va cation, and his needed encouragement. Let the aim be, however, to rai rather than lonirr the standard of each grade, And let every school be impressed with the principle that the teacher shall in every instance assign to each pupil his grade, his class and his text book work. I.RADCATIOS. The natural aad legitimate outcome of a course of study is graduation. This is simply the measure of scholarship to be reached under existing conditions in the common schools. The standard of grad nathn from ton or country schools is, at present, as high as the actual facilities and conditions of school work will justi fy. It can and will be advanced only as our schools teach possibilities of nioit thorough and more extended work. About 10O applicants for graduation have been reported from "4 districts.
