If I am sure I am on the right track, and

get a girl of good llguro to try It upon. I
stand her up In the mlddlu of thu Moor,

try this effect and that effect and some

It was a sad contrast, this little mother'

and knavery.

She may marry a young farmer, and with
all her life before herdecldu to be his help

the necessary improvements made! Hut
when the fight Is partly over, somet lines the
young wife has a feeling of envy on Satur
day nights, when her husband pays tho
"hands" who have worked for him, and
has not a dollar for her, for she knows
that they have been fed while she haa
served; that they have slept while she lost
hours of slumber with the precious babe
In arms, and that they cau buy clothes that
she would feel it extravagant to wear.

Tti MUtrM of the White Iluut.
To be the mistress of the White House is
altogether tempting. It U a osltion of al
most uiiefjuuled social power and Intlu
nice, which has tested and proved the tact,
id seme and truu womanhood of the
t st who have reached the distinction, la
ordinary times the Wl.lr.o House Is the
I'cnterof a social life whloh llxes Miiulcr
attention, '1 he movements there nru mat
ters of tho widest public. Interest, and
many of them aru of such character that
the ieojdu In general feel as If thcyweru
themselves participant. In all thu history
of our country this Mx-lal life In thu White
House hasVceii of that slmplu and unpru
tendons cliai.iucr so 1. inlng to the re
publican tastes and habits of thu people at
large.
With all Itn temptation to ostentatious
and gaudy display and personal exclusive
liess, It has always been maintained apart
from these. Thu wives nf tho presidents,
llko thu presidents themselves, havu come
from tho people and havu taken thu slm
plu but Milllclciil social forms of thu coun

Hon as thu lady of thu White House, fu

Hut thu Hisltlou has Its penalties. Thu
exactions havu been too much for somu of
those upon whom thu responsibility has

A Woman's Wonderful Work.
Thero Is no moro Interesting story In tho
history of inisleru science than that of the
career of Miss Marianne North, who du
voted her llfo to thu painting of pictures
of plants and animals, and whose auto
biography lears thusuggestlvutltlu, "Heo
ollectious of a Happy Life."
Miss North had a higher object than
merely to make beautliul pictures. She
endeavored to represent with absolute
Ildellty to naturu thu colors and forms of
(lowers and plants, and thu characteristics
of animal llfu In all parts of thu earth.

ami thu results of her studies aro to be seen
In tho famous Kuw gardens, where hun
dreds of hur paliitliiga aru displayed upon
thu walls of a building which she con
structed for the purpose and presented to
her native Kngland.
Thero aru few travelers who havu seen
more of tho various regions of thu world
than Miss Noith. Shu Journeyed through
out Kuropo again and again. Shu visit
ed Kgypt, Syria, thu islands of thu Med
iterranean and thu Cannry Islands. Sho
traveled all through India with tho
thoroughness of an explorer tout on leav
ing nothing untouched. She traversed
Uomeo and Java and visited thu Malav
peninsula. She was in Japan, in Australia,
Iu Tasmania, In New Zealand, in South
Africa, Iu thu Sandwich Islands, in South
America and moru than once In Canada
nnd tho United States.

I.ojully lii thu Home Circle.
Loyalty In thu home circle Is not as often
considered ns It ought to be; It should bo
held as part of thu ethics of family honor
never to speak slightingly of any member
of thu household to outsiders. The old and
toniewlmt vulgar proverb, "Wash all your
Milled linen at home," contains the gist of
an obvious truth. Parents should Impress
this family loyalty upon their children,
and teach them that it means dignity and
Mreugth and happiness to be thu guardians
of their own hearth, as It were, thu stanch
defenders of thu honor of thu family.
nroiiiers ami sisters should nuver allow
themselves to say anything derogatory of
inch other to their ncoualutnucos what
ever may to their private differences.
Husbands and wives would do well to re
memtor that "nagging" at each other, or
even what Is called "running each other
In public," is not only disloyal 'to tho
family dignity, but Is In very bad taste,
and Is moreover exceedingly tiresome to
any ono who may be with them. Mothers
even good, loving mothers have an un
wise way sometimes of bringing every
trivial fault to thu surfacu before any one
who happens to to present.
Parents, too, should to loyal to their
thlldren if they expect the latter to to
loyal to f hem. Every now and again wo
tee a family where thu men all become
more or less prominent In their various
walks iu life, and in almost every case
thero will to found among them a very
strong sentiment of what thu world calls
"clannUhiiess," but what might to totter
designated as faithfulness. Even from a
Worldly point of view young people would
do well to rememtor that whatever keeps
the family together In faithful allegiance
adds to thu position and Influence nnd con
llderatlon of each member Individually.

A Woman Who Has l'ruied Her Honraty,
One of the first women who weru assigned
Work In thu treasury building was a
colored woman, Sophiu Holmes by name.
Ono night when Sophie was sweeping
tho refuse papers Iu tier room she found a
lox of greenbacks that had la-en cut,
rouuted and packed to transfer to the
vaults iiiul had been accidentally over
looked. Sho did not daru call thu watch
man for fear bu would to tempted beyond
resistance. She thought of her four smal1
children at home alone, with no one to give
them their supper or put them to tod, but
I ho ouu duty that stared her iu the facu
was to protect that money. She sat down
Upon the bav and quietly waited for the
hours to go by.
At I o'clock iu tho morning she heard
the shutuiug step of General Siiluuer In
thu corridor and heard him open the door
to his room
She ultlctly slloiied along thu
corridor, knocked at his door and told him
lint she had found. The general had the
box taken to his room and sent Sonhla
Lome In his carriage. The next morning
when sho returned sho found the general
Hill keeping guard. That night he sent
for her and pluced in her hand her ap

Human Nature.
Tho following anecdote comes to us from
tho navy yard at Mare Island, Cal. It l
human nature for people In a crisis to
Imagine themselves as playing tho most
Important role. This is well Illustrated
by an anecdote told by a naval olllcer of
his llrst experience under tiro during the
civil war. He was a midshipman at the
time, just out of the academy, and his ves
sel was engaged In destroying a blockade
runner aground near the entrance of Mo
btlu bay. Suddenly thu harassed enemy
woku into animation ami returned tho tire.
A shot from a rille gun on the beach came
hissing through the air, passed over the
Union vessel and buried itself In tho water
just beyond.
"I was stationed oil thu forecastle," said
the narrator, "and I give you my word I
thought that shot was coming straight for
my head, or at any ratu was going to gra.e
It. My llrst Impulse (an uncontrollable
one) was to dodge, which I promptly did
my next was to feel ashamed of myself
and to glance around to ascertain whether
