A DONitolIC HERO.
A llualr ru Main W liu Han Drvi.o , Hint

I came aeros-; a hero theother day.
Ho looked much the same as every
day mankind. Ib did not know
he was a hero, nor did 1 until h had
h it tho party in which 1 ii;t him.
Domestic heroism, tint of tho pri
vacy of home. wi;h no Victoria cross
. r congressional medal dangling be
foro it as a possibility, is, after all,
perhaps the noblest of all heroism.
Here was a great, strong, healthy
and wealthy man, fond of outdoor
i;-rts. of travel, of the activity of a
busy commercial career-one who in
Lis youth was a man's man rather
than a woman's. Fifteen years ago
1,'e married, and in a few years there
caino threo children into the house
hold. It 'had Itoon a happy family. He
l;as been a kindly husband as hus
l iuids i n, and she a pleasant and
dm if ul wife. Out of tho night came
paralysis to iu-r -a new life to him.
Since that time his career has Urn
entirely altered. His business was
quickly arranged so he could bo fre
quently absent from his office. Ho
was father, mother, nurse, teacher,
companion and playmatceompressod
in ono domestic providence. Never
had woman more devoted attendant
nor more faithful and intelligent
nurse.
All tho little questions of house
keeping and of the care and tra'oing
of children, of their clothing, their
pleasures and their pains, fell to him,
and in his hands they have been
managed with a wisdom and care
absolutely wonderful. This has been,
rememUT, something of 10 years'
standing, and it has grown instead of
lessening. Outside of his compara
tively casual attention to business
his horizon is confined to tho walls
of his homo. To make tho wife for
get her burden of afilietion and Ui a
happy woman through it all has
been his happiness, and with such a
spirit ho could not fail.
They travel about considerably,
this family, and all tho details are
taken care of by him. No hired
nurses or governesses are permitted
to usurp any of his duties, although
there is one of each there at hand as
his ropiest n tat ivo in times of en
forced absence. So skillfully is all
this done, so modestly is it carried
out, that even the chief beneficiary
does not realize what is occurring -and
that is his reward. "They do
not build Westminster abbeys nowa
days," said a friend of mine once,
and 1 thought of his remark when I
heard the story of this man, for the
supply of heroes at tins time is fai
below tho demand. - Pittsburg His

it was about six miles around the

When 1 first knew that old lady, s'c

quarter where sho lived. Every UkI

tho privilege of her friendship loved
her. Suddenly she let her great
house and gardens and removed
into quite a small villa, with a little
garden; also she gave up her car
ringo ami limbed her household to
one servant. And she gave no more
parties.
It was understood that this dear
old lady had lost her fortune. ISut
nobody knew the facts, nor could
anylMKly link. Sho retired to this lit
tie villa and continued to have re
ceptions, at which ton and homo
made cake were the only luxuries
offered. Also, there arrived! at this
juncture a niece, of whoso existence
uo ono Unl previously Urn aware.
She was not nice, this lady; it is no
fault to bo no longer young or
good looking, but one ought at least
to lie well bred and good tempered
Now, after a year or two, during
which the bitter tonguo and tho bad
teniM'r of tho niece caused continual
misery to the old lady, there came a
time of sickness. It was tho plague
of influenza Many of us in the
quarter had it very badly, among
others tho old lady's niece. For the
old lady's sake, not from any love of
our own, we were shocked to learn
that the niece was dead.
A month or two afterward the old
lady told mo a story. Sho said

The popularity of cork soled shot

fork is being manufactured in large
quantities, the sulistance U'ing pro

which the imitation is farsuperior to
the original. Some new and more
appropriate name is sure to le adopt

mand for cork soled shoes, so called,
decreases. Tho shoes of this type
were in great demand, even when
they wero both costly and clumsy,
and the avoidance of both these
drawbacks h;is paved the way for nu
apparently long lived career of pop
ularity. Every ono who wears them

A Monittrouii Spider.
Mygalo avicularia is a monstrous
spider, with a body two inches long
and legs, when expanded, reaching
to seven, who kills small birds and
hangs them up in a larder of thick
web for l'nUire use. This robber car
ries on his murderous trade with
cunning dexterity, for which tho ioor
finches aro no match. His huge
brownish body being thickly covered
with coarse gray hairs and exactly
matching in color tho trunk of the
tree, in some rough crevice of which
ho lurks unseen, he is ready to pounce
out at a moment's notice upon his
hapless prey when onco entangled in
the fatal web.
Another monster of the same genus,
"five inches in expanse," of a brown
tint with yellowish lines on his thick
hairy legs, is equally rapacious; but,
carrying on his depredations only at
tho door of his den in the brown
earth, needs no protecting color, as
he comes out only at night when all
about lain is in shadow. Nineteenth

There are certain courtesies gen
erally paid by men to women that
long usage has led us to take as a
matter of course. Ono of these is
that of raising tho hat. There is no
question but that this is a graceful
and becoming act for any man, what
ever his ago or station may be, or
whoever the woman is to whom he
pays tho little mark of deference.
At the saint time many men do not
follow the custom, and the omission
is not necessarily to bo attributed to
ignorance nor to a lack of respect for
women, especially if the man is past
middle age.
Most men who are bald are obliged
to be careful about expiring the head
toailraf-. and for that reason avoid
taking of; the hat out of doors. Of
course there are tunes and places
when they could do it without dan
ger, but it wouid hardly do to vary
the rule to suit tho weather. -Manchester
