lier that true courage is one of the richest
possessions. As has Ixt-n said, it is promotive
of health ind happiness, and essential to, and
by tho (Jr.. ks and Romans was used synony
mously v.jjh, virtue. A timid man may lio
afraid to -.rt right, may not dare to do his
duty when opposed by dangers and dillicul
tios. Of this virtue everybody is ambitious,
and none more so than tho cowardj us proved
ly his vainglorious affectation of it. Thus,
the fool affects wisdom, the knave honesty,
the niggard liberality and the poltroon
bravery.
As t what can lo done in childhood to
ward the higher development: In the first
place, if your son or daughter is gifted with
mind or tastes inherently predestined to Ihj
cultivated, you could not prevent that con
summation is you tried. Some men who, in
later lifo, bovine distinguished exinont3 of
the higher deirtments, in youth never show
tho slightest indication of their future emi
nence. Chancellor Kent, for instance, fa
mous ns he liecame in his maturity, up to 21
hail never really taxed his mind, anil had
lived the lift mainly of a healthy human ani
mal. If your chihl le one of this sort, he
will give you but littlo trouble, but will just
eat, play, grow, Ixvoino strong, live in his
littlo body, ami it will bo all tho better for
him hereafter that ho did not develop his
taste. You may, indeed, watch your boy
and girl, however commonplace they arc,
and indulge your heart in the hojio that in
tho future they will turn out Feubodys and
CJvorgu Eliot -i. Others as Mozart are pre
cocious, and show from tho very start an
ticipating evidences of their later growth.
Tbe.se are the difficult cases. If you sus-ix-ot
that your boy or girl jiossesses somo
strongly pronounced talent or bent, by all
means d not coddle it. Neither is it neces
sary brutally to stamp it out. There have
lieeu in children inclinations that, while not
f tho imperious and supreme type that can
not le arrested, might have been productive
of much pleasure and profit to their owners
and a wide circle, and yet early died out
through rough treatment and neglect. As
time goes on, and the indications jersi.st, and
friends and exjerts confirm your thought,
you ma' feel assured. All tho more becauso
of sus cieil talent, make health and .strength
tho first consideration. You are much more
likely, however, to see in your child remark
able cleverness which have no existence, than
not to see those which do exist. Here, it is
well to say, that too many urents seek to
tuj.e prodigies of their little ones. Scarcely

in early life the mind is overtasked, the de
velopment of the physical organization is
retarded. The vital forces during tho first
years of child life are especially required by
tho svstem at large to maintain its necessary
development. If, therefore, they are too
prodigally exjionded on the intellect, or un
equally diverted to tho brain, it must bo at
the cost of other functions aud organs.
Under such circumstances, the growth U
generally retarded, the muscular system but
imperfectly developed, and tho Itody con
tinues sparo and devoid of its fair propor
tions. Tho complexion will, moreover, be
pale and sickly, the circulation and digestion
feeble, and nervous affections or other infir
mities of tho flesh aro likely to supervene,
overburdening existence and shoi leiiir. g its
term. The future of children, therefore, m
a very great measure, deiends upon the
management which they receive during tho
first few years of life, and this truth should
lo deeply impressed upon the minds of all
parents. Especially should they appreciate
the dangers of interfering with intellectual
development. The immature brain of child
hood is such an exceedingly delicate organ
that grievous consequences often, in Jat"f
life, result from efforts to quickeu the under
standing. In the natural order of things
the powers of the mind aro disclosed grad
ually and in harmony with the advancement
of other functions of tho system.
Cut to return to our subject. Unexcep
tional children who are destined, too, to prove
unexceptional awaits, constitute tho great
majority. It is much safer to encourago in
tellectual tendencies in them than iu children
who are pronouncedly intellectual. Peculi
arly their property, however in addition to
those among the qualities wo have already al
luded to, which should obviously bo secured
for them are tho moral graces which most
adorn childhood and are duo to all. These,
in later life, we find to bo our dearest treas
ures and highest incentives. Thow lessons
of right and truth and uprightness which a
mother's heart wisdom best knows how to
write upon her children's souk ranks first
here. Nothing can outweigh them," nothing
can fully replace them. They sow tho seed
of the highest future character. As air and
exercise make healthy bodies, they constitute
the health of tho spirit. Next comes the
education in love, kindness and courtesy tc
those about us, conferred by the sarao pre
emptions, which makes life now and in
memory afterward rich, and creates natures
capable of later expansion ofjo5"s. Integrity
and a loving heart are the brightest jewel
you can give any child. Boston Herald.
Savins the Odd and Ends.
"What sort of insane folly is it that pos
sesses some of us at timsr, and makes us .:ve
all our odds and ends of every description
under the delusion that the' will "come
Landy" some time? They never do ''come
handy," but we cling to them with great
tenacity instead of having the good scuso to
bestow them on the ah man as bis rightful
prerogatives.
My wife and I have well developed economi
cal tendencies, and we p.ide ourselves on
never wasting a tiling that may "be useful'
or "come handy" at any time in the dim
future.
i have read of men of wealth who traced
tho beginning of the! riches back to the
time when they carefully saved pieces of
twine, never cutting it from a bundle, but
carefully untying it and laying it away for
future use, until they must have had a bar
rel or two of old twino lying around some
place. Once I read of a millionaire who set
his fellow men on example of thrift by get
ting out of his carriuge and picking up a
rusty nail ho saw by the roadside, and I em
ulated his example until I had about forty
pounds of old, rusty, bent and broken nails
lying around; and about once in six months
1 used a pound or two of them in trying to
find one that I could drive into a board with
out liending or breaking. At last I sold the
lot for old iron and got ten cents for them.
Then I began to reform, aud tho other day I
began reforming my wife.
I was cleaning out tho accumulation of
years iu a closet in the basement and piling
most of its contents up for the ash man when
my wifecamo down stairs.
"There aro somo things in that closet I
want saved," she said; "they'll come handy
some time." But I resolved to le firm.
"You don't want this?" I said, holding up
an old tea kettle without any spout and with
six big holes in the bottom of it.
"Well, it might come handy for something
some day."
I tossed it into the ash barrel and held up a
pair of very old boots, discarded four years
ago, and now green with mold.
"No uso in saving these, is there?" I asked.
"Well, I don't know. A little piece of
leather often comes haudy in a house for a
hinge or something."
I called to mind a pair of leather hinges I
once made, and tho boots followed tho tea
kettle.
"What do you want this rusty old hoop
skirt forr
"Oh, a piece of hoopskirt wire often comes
in useful in a house."
"It hasn't lM-en asked for in this house since
before tho war," I said. "Here's an old hat
of mine that's leen lying around nino years.
Better throw it away, hadn't If"
"Well, ierhnp8 so. I'vo often thought of
giving it to some poor man, but I forget it
every time a tramp comes round. I gave it
to one tramp and he wdiit off and left it on
the front gute post,"
"Showed his good sense," I said. "Do you
want all these old broken dishes?"
"Yes; I'll have them all mended someday.
I've intended having it done for five years."
When her back was turned they went into
tho ash barrel.
"No use in Raving these old bottles, eh?"
"Well, a Injttle's a handy thing to have
around. Better save them."
"My dear," I said, "hero aro at least
seventy-five old bottles, and to my certain
know led go we don't use ono a year, and I
think wo can trust our great-great-great-
grcat grandchildren to get their own bottles,
so here they go."
In the same daring, reckles? way I threw
away three old bustles, old bonnets, breeches,
lamps, skillets, hair combings, shoes, saw
dust, tm pans, old papers, pop corn, wormy
walnuts, soap grease, broken lamps, spoutless
toasts, l-ottomless coffee pots, cracked
kettles and ten thousand other things that
had for yean? and years wafted their turn to
"couio handy," but which never would or
could "come handy" in this world or in the
world to come. Zenas Dane in Detroit Free

Starving to Death for Love.
Ouida says that a woman has the heart of
a dog, meaning by that, I supposo, that the
more fcho is lieaten the more she loves the
hand that beats her, But it is not true. Tho
strongest love of the strongest of us can be
,'jent and brokeu like a lily by indifference or
.leglect. The man who holds his heart proud
tnd high, too often takes the love of a woman
for granted. Having once won it, he feels
too sure that he can keep it without any
trouble, at least without any extra trouble.
"I've cot her now," he says to himself. "She
belongs to me as much as my horse does;
will see that she is well fed, well stabled, well
croonied and well shod, and what more could
a reasonable woman desire," and he picks up
the littlo moto he laid at her feet before ho
"got her," and which ho was pleased to call
his heart, and holding it up proud and high
ho turns tho key and leaves her. But soule
women are not reasonable, they don t pre
tend to bo reasonable, and sometimes when
tho man who has "got her" is joising his
heart high up in the cool regions of self com
nlaceucy and waiting for tho unreasonable
woman to climb for it, she simply doesn't do
it. Sometimes she just quietly begins to pack
tho ice around her own heart until it freezes
even stiffer and colder than his; and sonic
times she beats her hot, impetuous, slighted
heart against tho bars of her prison until she
finds her way out to sunshine and to freedom.
But. alas that I must confess it, she more
often starves to Lath from lore hunger
within her prison walls.
Men may laugh of it, but there are such
ileathS; and women die there daily and aro
bhrouded and coflined and buried without
tho world's ever knowing that there is even
so much as a faint bruise ou their tender,
loving, pafjent hearts. It is the men who
hold their hearts "proud and high," who kill
women in this noiseless, stealthy way.
It is a strange fact that cold, reticent, un
demonstrative men who hold their hearts
proud and high, and who weigh out in homce
opathic doses the words of affection they
eive to a woman lest they should give her
tho hundredth part of a' grain too many,
have often the power to awaken tho passion
ate adoration of the most intense and lovm
est women of us all. Shethi ills with bliss at
the lightest touch of his hand and turns pale
with emotion at the very sound of his voice
or his step. When ho smiles on her she goes
right up to heaven, and when ho frowns she
drops down to earth witu a sickenmg.tliud.
She would climb the highest peak with bare
and bleeding feet just for one soft look from
his hard, cold eyes. She would wade ankle
deep through the burning sands of a desert
Lo win one word of love from his cold, dumb
lips. She would throw herself between him
and death and gladly die on his cold bosom
for tho sake of oue warm and tender kiss;
and sjie would lay her prettiest tea gown on
tho altar of self saerifico as a burnt offering
if he would only call her "darling" just one
time.
But even the most intense, constant and
lovingest woman of us all cannot go on
climbing high mountains, wading through
hot sands and sacrificing her best tea gowns
forever. She is human, and she will faint
and die on the way, leaving her broken heart
as a warning to others who stake all en love
and. lose; or she will get tired of striving
for the love that is held out of her reach,
and will comfort herself with some tenderer
heart that loves her and 19 pot too proud to
tell her so. Pearl Rivers in New Orleans

A riace to Study Womanhood.
It is rather a criditto a young woman that
she can heartily and unaffectedly enjoy and
help others to enjoy a good perchance old
fashioned picnic It will redound to the Ufa
happiness of a young man to take a day off
and attend such a picnic, if only to study
womanhood from a picnic standpoint. If,
from such a point of observation, his facul
ties are rightly employed, he may detect
qualities in the young women of his circla
that, until the advent of an all day picnic,
have remained latent, unsuspected. If the
(air object of his silent watchfulness reveals
new charms, if she lays aside her "company
manners' and becomes an unaffected girl for
the day; If she looks after the little folks and
finds keen joy in the added pleasure she con
fers upon them in the many ways that wo
manly woman is mistress of; if she cares less
for trying hard to win attention than to bo-
stow it, upon women older and less attrac
tive than herself; if she does these things
then is she a woman to "tie to," a girl that,
as a wife, will be a capital prize in the lot
tery of matrimony.
Per contra, if the umbrageous canopy of
the picnic grove casts its latticed shadow
ujxm a damsel who regards the affair as only
serving as a lackground to a picture in
which she is the self apjointod centrul figure
of the foreground; if she is a creature of
many needs ami makes these known in an
imortunato manner; if she invests a green
worm with a horror that uisets the peace of
mind of all about her; if she permits a va
grant spider or investigating ant to destroy
uer good humor for hours and to engender
the wish on the part of hi-r acquaintances
that she had been prevented from leaving
home; if, in short, she conducts herself as if
sho was conferring a favor on the entire
gathering by coming at all, then does she
stand revealed as a young woman that, like
dynamite or rough on rats, it is well to leave
alone. Pittsburg Bulletin.
Not Exactly What We Secnu
Do many of us strive to make ourselves
seen in our littlo worlds.' Do wo not rather
hido under all manner of disguises, do we
not try to seem better, kinder, more inno
cent, purer, wiser, wittier than wo are? Do
wo snow to everybody the testiness of our
temper? Do wo go alout admitting freely
that we told an untruth this morning; that
we have been guilty of listening to what
was not intended for our ears; that we ate a
gluttonous meal; that we hurt the feelings of
all our family by our malicious speech; that
we slandered an acquaintance; that wo took
more than our share of the day's pleasures,
tho best chair, the first reading of the daily
paper; that we snubbed our dependents, and
w ere rude to our superiors and were alto
gether unlovely?
No: we carry the blandest expressions that
we know how to wear, on tho side toward the
world, portraying the best disposition that
we know how to counterfeit; we turn up our
eyes in horror at the person who does tell
untruths; we speak with scorn and old saws
-f ieopl! who do listen to what was not meant
for them to hear; wo wish aloud that wo had
moro apjietite, for we eat no more than tho
girl in the fable, with her grain of rice; we
despise gossip and slander; we rise from the
comfortable chair when mamma conies in
if there is any one present to see us do it; we
air the paper for grandma without so muel
as glancing at it; we sjieak with a voice o;'
silver to our inferiors; so fur as our uneon
scious power of imposture goes we appear tc
be altogether too sweet and good for human
nature's daily food. It is, in fact, our aim to
seem so much better than we are that it
amounts to seeming what we are not, to an
actual disguise, and if one who thinks he
knows us well should ever chance to meet our
soul wandering in the No Man's Laud of the
other life, ho will certainly not have the
least idea that he has ever met that soul be
fore. Harjer's Bazar.
Attracting the Wrong Element.
I know somo women who are always being
insulted. I don't wonder at it. They go
abroad exjKH'ting annoyance, slight or in
civility. They aro in tho bristle continually,
and the first thought in their minds, on being
surrounded by men, is, '"Don't any of you
miserable creatures dare to touch me." Now,
I believe that those who carry that mental
makeup about with them will attract the
element of incivility. They get what they
expect. If a iei-son goes out in the world
with his or her lists doubled up, and is en the
war path all tho time, whether there be any
thing to war with or not, he or sho is much
moro likely to have trouble than tho peace
ful. You can so go out, with your mental
fists doubled up when your physical ones are
not; but the influence on others is one which
courts trouble, and is likely to get it. They
tqld jne in California that the man who al
ways carries a pistol is much more likely to
get into a fight than he who does not. I
think the reason for that is that merely
having a deadly weapon about one inclines
to tho combative spirit, and as that gets hold
of tho pistol bearer it arouses the same spiri
in others.
Then there are other women who must flirt
anywhere aud everywhere, if not with one
man with another; no matter the quality, so
long as it is a man. Their nu'nds aro perma
nently made up to flirt. They don't know
this. They are quite unconscious that this is
their mental condition. Thev would not be
lieve you if ypu told them so, and they would
be honest in their belief. They are very
liable to get into scrapes. They like, in this
way, to play with a little fire, which some
times becomes too hot for them. B(it they
kindle, it themselves. And a woman with
this sort of mind attracts to her the very ele
ment which may give her trouble, though
she may not lift an eyelid or raiso a finger.

What Aro They Proud Of?
A chronic grumbler caught the Ilambler's
ear recently, and this Js what e had to say
"An aristocracy in a republic is a pestilent
anomaly, and yet that is precisely what is
growing up. A self made man Mho has
worked for his wealth with unflagging indus
try and keen intelligence, retains his democ
racy, but not so his wife and daughters, who
have done nothing but cultivate expensive
tastes. They elevate their noses at less pre
tentious neighborhoods and lament that
their parent has no dignity whatever. They
manage to tolerate hint because ho keeps
their lily white hands from the necessity of
toil, but they make him feel his immeasur
able inferiority when any social question
turns up. What aro they proud of? They
are proud of doing nothing and of being no
earthly use to anybody or even to themselves.
Usefulness of any kind is horridly vulgar,
Thev call themselves 'good society,' and
what with holding their heads very high and
keeping everybody except their own particr
ular set at a distance, they have managed to

For a Itad RreatU
A woman with every charm of an ancient
or modern Venus ceases to bo beautiful if,
when sho speaks, her breath is hot and fever
ish, or worse still, absolutely tainted. Nat
urally she does not know this, and it is only
proper that somebody belonging to her
should tell her. If it comes from her teeth
it is something very quickly remedied. If it
comes from her digestion then it is her doc
tor's business to get her in good order, but
very often in this country of invalid women
it comes from the use or very strong meai
cines. Dr, Wilson advises for this tho use of
lemons, claimiuir that they are the most nun

For a feverish breath that results from the

TIIE NORTH WOODS GUIDES
WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO FOR THE
TOURISTS THEY LOOK AFTER.
Iloyliood of the Future Guide Outfit and
Accomplishments of an Adirondack
Guide location of Campn Cooking aud
Camp Work Floating; for Deer.
According to their stories, the guides are
usually sons of farmers or lumbermen, and
are reared on tho borders of the biff woods.
They begin to fish for trout in tho nearest
brook about as soon as they can walk, and
beforo they aro able to hold a gun offhand
they have been provided with an old musket
which has been bored out and thus made a
shotgun. Very often the guido kills his first
doer before he is in his teens, and lnstunces
of boys of tender years hilling a bear are
scarcely uncommon. Such boys roam the
woods with no more danger of getting lost or
turned around than a city boy would find in
walking from City Hall to the Battery in
New York city.
But traveling through the woods without
jetting lost is one of the least of the accom
plishments of an Adirondack guide. More
than that, the guide must be a capitalist. lie
carries with him a thirteen foot canoe and an
assortment of fishing tackle in a pack basket
that seemed large enough to stock a country
store. Although the club has no end of bonts
and scows on Bisby lake, the guides must
furnish their own boats for uso on Moose
river and Canachagala lake. W bile the
sportsman always fishes with his own tackle,
the guide must have an abundant supply of
lines and hooks, too, ine'tidh'? ret rr
lines for taking lue. big oues that will not
rise to a fly, and the reason for this will ap
pear further on.
KITS FOR THE CA1TP.
Besides these, the guide must own at least
one good kit of cooking utensils. The Bisby
guides generally own from two to five kits
each, aud each kit is kept hidden in the
woods at such points on Moose river and the
lakes as tho sportsman Is likely to visit when
hunting and fishing. This saves tho labor of
carrying a kit from one placo to another, a
matter of no small importance. At these
points, too, tho guides erect camps, in which
party may loJgo over night in comfort.
rain or shine. The camp is simply a log hut
roofed with spruce hark, and frequently
without doors or windows. But there is a
trooti nreplace, and generally a supply of dry
jwfcj. Since a good canoe delivered on the
river is worth $30 and a camp kit f 5, the
guido who is well supplied with these and
with fishing tackle, dogs and rifles is a capi
talist to the amount of $100 at least.
Disaster, however, may sometimes over
take tho camp kits and camps located in
favorable places on the river and lakes. Food
is frequently left with tho kit, and if a boar
comes along ho is sure to smell it Even
when no food is there he will smell tho kit,
and, having no fear under such circum
stances, goes in and stirs up the camp in a
way that is exasperating. Fi-equently the
guido and the sportsman return to camp
after a long day spent in wading the river
to find tho tinware scattered aud the food
eaten and destroyed by a bear.
lhe amount of luggage which tho city
sportsman requires when going to rough it
at the club house in tho Adirondacks some
times makes the guides groan in secret, but
never openly. There are baskets of wine,
cases of leer and demijohns of liquor, be
sides boxes of canned goods and trunks of
elutl.iug, not to mention silk umbrellas and
hat boxes, all of which find place in, "many
backwoods outfits. If the sportJTmn be an
expert with tho fly, as most of them aro, the
guide Cuds occupation in oaijrig for the fish
taken; if not, the guido must needs cut a
pole, tie on a lino and hook and bait up with
a worm. It would never do for the sports
man to go back without a supply of fish to
prove his prowess to his f rieuds.
At tho camp the guide does the cooking and
camp work generally. To hold his patrons
he must not only be a good cook, but he must
learn the tasto of each sportsman and satisfy
it, whatever it may bo. To satisfy that taste
not inf requently requires an infraction of the
game laws, "but," as one guide says, "w.
must calculate on having fish for bi-eakfasi,
law or no la w, not to mention venison steaks,
before Aug. Ja." It can safely be said that
twe ueer are slaughtered out of season at the
behest of city sportsmen to one killed by
crusting by native? for food, and tho deer
killed by tho sportsmen can never be more
than a quarter consumed before they spoil.
THE SWIiTlOXa DEER,
When the guide finds the sportsman cannot
shoot a deer on the runaway or in the river,
he moves to. some lake. WTien the deer is
run into the lake it is likely to swim across.
Here is the opportunity of the unskilled
sportsman, The guide can row a boat faster
than the deer can swim. So the sportsman
is shortly moored, so to speak, alongside the
fleeing deer. He can hit it now with a club,
but ho uses a rifle instead, taking care that
the muzzle is not close enough to burn the
deer's hair. Burned hair would interfere
with a tale of a long range shot. There is
ono drawback to killing a swimming deer.
The carcass will sink if the killing bo done in
August or September. To prevent such a
catastrophe the guide grasps tie deer firmly
by the tail before the" sportsman shoots it. It
s an important part of a guide's education
to be able to grasp a swimming deer firmly
by the tail.
Floating for deer will frequently supply
the sportsman with venison if he be some
what skilled. The sportsman sits down on a
seat in the bow of a canoe. Club men fre
quently have cane seats made, because cane
is more comfortable than spruee. The guid,
with a bottle of fly and musquito dope, siti
in the stern. At intervals the dope is applied
to both the sportsman and the guide to keep
off the flies and musquitoes. Between the ap
plications the guide paddles the canoe with a
paper thin paddle to those low lying swampy
chores of the lake where pond lilies and bull
frogs flourish. In the extreme bow of the
boat is a lantern that has a reflector like that
of a locomotive headlight. By means of this
liht,.tho sportsman, if lucky, may see the
form of a deer standing in the water, where
It nas come to feed ou tue pond lilies, it is
generally a doe, although the sportsman is
usually positive, before he shoots, that he can

nothing else. It hears nothing, and alt hough
it can smell the men it is so "durnf ounded by
'the light that it stands and stares until the
l)oat?gets within a rod or two cf it. Thei
the sportsman shoots tlis deer with a shot-
aun.
As the season lasts from the middle of May
to the middle of November, with a slack time
touring the latter part of J uly and the first of
August, the'guide may work over 150 days
and take in ovrs $500, besides portable prop
erty, while his expenses would bo very small,
practically nothing. New York Bun.
