Walking With it Lady.
It is a generally conceived opinion
that a gentleman walking with a lady
hould walk on the outer side of the
sidewalk. This idea docs very well for
a country town, but in a great city
whe.e thousands upon thousands of
people, all in more or less of a hirry,
are continually passing, it is a very
oor rule to follow. One writer on the
aubject says: "The duty of a gentle
man is to protect the hwly he is walk
ing with; to take all the hard knocks,
jostles, and possible umbrella tips to
himself, shielding the weaker vessel
from many disagreeables, and to do
this she must invariably be on the gen
tleman's right side, where she can
promenade at her ease guarded by lift
manly form, and not being obliged
one half of the time to take all the
buffs and rebuffs constantly recurring
in a crowded thoroughfare." .uw, if
some of the social leaden of this city
were to take the establishment of this
custom into their hands it would not
be long before Jloston could boast of a
fad that wotdd be a great benefit to the
ladle of the community, and one that
J hope to see a recognized custom in
the course of not a great number of
jears. Boston Traveler.
Buttermilk a a Medicine.
With the rapid growth of recon
structive medicines comes opportunely
the reintroduction of old and well
known domestic remedies, among which
buttermilk demands a resectable
place. A young lady patient of the
writer's (Dr. Landry in Popular Science
Xews) was suffering from a severe con
sumptive couglu None of the usual
anti-spasmodics, expectorants, etc,
seemed to do any good, simply because
her stomach was too weak to bear
enough medicine to effect the purpose,
finally 1 suggested to her mother the
Biseof buttermilk. It was adopted at
unce. Her first night's expirience was
one of comparative freedom from cough
and pain, and a pleasant slumber for
several hours. It was continued for a
long time with an unvarying relief of
&11 her distressing symptoms and as
almost perfect freedom from cough
for several hours after each draught
of the hot buttermilk. Lingering at
one lime for weeks from an attack of
congestive fever, dosed with calomel
and quinine almost beyond endurance,
the writer began to desire buttermilk
to drink. The physician "didn't be
lieve in humoring this whims of pa
tients," as ne expressed it; besides, ho
contended that a sinzle drink of the
obnoxious Huhl r.ilt,'ht produce death,
as adds ami calomel weie incompatible
dwellers in the same stomach.
But I was a good persuader, and
my mother was a susceptible subject.
The buttermilk,"fresh from thfccliun,, '
v,as procured and drank. No evil re-
y wl; instead canto a perspiration mid
speedy recovery. Many years after
ward I had missed my usual noon meal.
t was about 2 or Z p. m., dinner, of
course, was over w hen I reached a
farmhouse, weak, tired, hungry, and
"all out of condition" for active work.
Dinner was suggested by the house
wife. "So, indeed!" said I, "not this
lime; I am nearly homo. But if you
have any buttermilk, I will take a
:rink of that to stay my stomach." A
good, kind-hearted woman, she soon
brought up a pitcher of buttermilk
rom the cool spring house while I ex
amined my patients and prescriljcd for
dictn. Perhaps a pint was drunk dur
ing the stay of nearly an hour. For
months Indigestion Ic'il held L un
friendly grasp on my stomach. From
(nat notable day forward his reign was
broken; my stomach was healed, and I
yould ride all day, if Pjeccssary, without
testing to woe begone from the lack of
food as before drinking of the butter

A Bird That Kill 1 tat Hern.
Kiding in California one day my
companion called alteiitiou to a bird
in the road ahead of uie. It was some-
thing Lke a prairie chicken, but much
more slender anl graceful in build. It
was hot using its wings, but it moved
very rapidly, and we had to keep 'the
horse in a pretty good trot to keep up
to it My friend told me that it was a
"road runner," a bird that was noted
there fur its pedestrain accomplish
ments, and a peculiar habit they have
i to walk always in the center of the
road.
When one of tla-se birds meets a
rattlesnake it behaves in such a coy
manlier that ;t leads tht snake to think
it w ill become the victim of its charm,
and while it is keeping the. snake in
doubt as to its intention it runs about
with its ' :i, dropping them in a circle
around the snake until it has him com
pletely surrounded by cactus thorns.
Then it llits to some elevation and sits
there to watch the snake Btick himself
to death on the thorns trying to get out
of the ring. J- S. Xo.-mile in St Louis

We are taught in school to read and

able teacher? And yet among all the
accomplishments which men and
women possess there is not one that
can give so much pleasure as an ability
to talk pleasantly and entertainingly.
Think how many things go to make up
good talk a good voice, well disci
plined, "soft and low," one that rests
rather than tires, a voice with music in
it. Next, a well stored mind. Next,
possession of the art of putting things,

A Favorite Legend.
There is a favorite legend in (!er
maiiyofa certain luck-llower, which
aduiits its fortunate tinder into the re
cesses of a mountain or castle, where
untold richei invito his grasp. Dazzled
by so much wealth, with which he Oils
his pockets and hat, the favored mor
tal leaves lehind him the llower to
which he owes his fortune; and as he
leaves the enchanted ground the words
"Forget not the best of all," reproach
him for his ingratitude, and the sud
denly closing door either descends on
one of his heels and iames him for life
or else imprisons him forever. If
Grimm i3 right this is the origin of the
word forget-me-n'-t, and not the last
words of the lover drowning in the
Danube, as he threw to his lady love
the llower she craved of him. The tra
dition, however, that the luck flower, or
key Jlower, was blue is consistent with
the fact that the primrose in theSchlus-sel-blume
(key-flower). However this
may be, there exists in Germany many
subterranean passages, under hillsides,
dating from heathen times, and asso
ciated with legends of former treas
ures there: and it certainly seems more
likely that the flower was simply
adapted to the legend as readily occur
ring to the story maker's mind, than
tint it really signifies the lightening
which opens the cloud, that "primal
wealth of the pastoral Aryans, the
rain that refreshes the thirsty earth,
and the sun that comes after the tem
pest." Comhill.
A Tricky Tailor.
Nearly every man judges the quality
of clothing above a certain- grade
by the price, and a certain tailor in this
town, knowing this fact, takes advan
tage of his customers in this way. He
hits tables, in which a.o drawers con
taining his samples. These drawers
extend across tiie tables and can he
pulled out from either side. When a
customer comes in a line of samples
are taken out and s.iown h:m.
He will probably say ho wants some
thing "better," and then the shrewd
tailor goes around to tho other side of
the table, pulls out tho same drawer
Slid takes out the same samples; but
this time he adds say 60 per cent to the
price, and the customer, who judges
by price, finds a piece, that suits him,
gives his order and goes his way, little
thinking that he could have obtained
a suit of the same material at much
less cost. St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Texas Sittings: "Now, my friend,
what will you do with that money?"

Authority in the Home.
There's another thing, a rock on
which the happiness of unselfish
mothers is often wrecked, and which
you must never lose sight of, for the
sake of your children as well as your
self. Always keep your rightful place
as the bead of the household, says a
writer in Harper's Bazar. Young
America is strong-willed and pro
gressive. Jt is very apt, entirely witn
out malice, to push aside the mother
whose cares have worn unon her, whe
lets herself get old fashioned or behind
the times so that while not exactly1
ashamed the children are not quiet
proud of her. Avoid this danger at
whatever cost of time and study. Let
not the world slip away from you;
dress at least as well as your daughter
you ought to dress better- go out
with her, help her entertain her friends.
Fall into the new way of things, which
s..e w ill be sharp to see and to point
out laying a table, serving a luncheon,
even pronouncing words.
Do not think 1 recommend that the
whole household ri ail be set to the
tune of "My I'! fchter." I mean,
simply, that you .nll make her life
pleasant and busy, th.it you shall not
attempt to drive her in any of the ways
your wisdom decide to be right, that
you shall not till her days with dis
tasteful work, and by making her un
comfortable induce l.cr to think of
marriage as a release, and that you
shall not mortify htr by antiquated
ways.
This critical age happily does not
hist forever, and the one thing to hold
on to, at whatever price, is your
daughter's love for you, and her con
fidence in your interest in her. If she
develops a desire for an independent
income of her own earning, this is a
healthy impulse, and you must help
her. Have her trained in the one
thing she can do till it will bring in
money. She will probably be content
to work at it at home, and enjoy
there the freedom it gives her, or even
to practice it only for the pleasure of
her friends.
Whatever she feels Imperativa to
her life, assist her in and give her the
benefit (very sparingly) of your age and
exK!rience. Of course, she will not
take it; no one will learn by another's
knowledge it is part of our life's dis
cipline to acquire our own. The one
way to keep your daughter yours in
heart at this critical "storm and stress'
period is to keep iier as near you as
possible, to advise when she wants ad
vice, to comfort under failure, to be
her refuge and best friend always.
This, O mother, is your holy and
divinely appointed mission. By these
means you will guide that tempest
tossed bark through the whirlpool,
past rocks, around the falls, and have
the comfort of seeing it pursuing its
calm and even way in the stiller waters
beyond.
A Cold-Blooded Groom.
"Have you brought any witnesses?"
asked the Hey. Mr. Wood of Bathgate
of a middle-aged couple who had come
to be married.
"No, we ne'r thocht o' that. Is't
necessary ?"
"(), certainly," said the minister, "you
should have a groomsman and bride
maid as witnesses."
"Wha can we get, Jean, dae ye think ?"
The bride so addressed suggested a
female cousin whom the bridegroom
had not previously seen, and after con
sultation a man was also thought of.
"Step ye awa' alang .Jean, an' ask
them, an I il walk auoot till ye come
back."
Jean set out as desired, and after
some time returned with the two friends,
the cousin being a blooming lass, some
what younger than the bride. When
parties had been properly arranged and
the minister was about to proceed with
the ceremony the bridegroom suddenly
said: "Wad ye bide a wee, sir?"
"What is it now ?" asked the minister.
"Wheel, I was just gaun to say that
if it wad lie the same to you, I wad
raither hae that ane," pointing to the
bridemaid.
"A most extraordinary statement to
make at this stage! I'm afraid it is too
late to talk of such a thing now."
"Is it?" iiid tbj bridegroom in a tone
of ci liii resignation to the inevitable.
"Woel, then, ye maun lust gang on."

Decoying Fish on Lake Erie.
The fishermen along the shore ol
Lake Frie are already looking to theti
shanties preparatory to beginning do
coy fishing through the ice, says a De
troit correspondent of the X. Y. Sua
As soon as the Ice is strong enough to
bear, the little fishing shanties will he
moved out to the iisiiing-grounds, and
in favorite localities little villages ol
miniature house, with the smoke curl
ing up from their chimneys, will be es
tablished on the frozen lake. Thi
shanties are about four and a half fee!
high, so that a man can sit comforta
bly in them, and large enough to hold
the man and a small but efTectiv
stove.
A hole is cut in the ice, usually at th4
side of some bank or edge of a chan
nel, where the lish are apt to be run
ning; then the house is moved over tht
hole and the fire is started. The fish
erman sits on a seat, under which is a
box in which to hide his fish, as it ii
important to keep his good luck 3
secret lest his neighbors surround him
If the little village of fish-housei
moves close around him his chancel

rounding fishermen will intercept (hi
fish, but because the noise of chopping
and walking on the ice will certainly
drive them away, for, although yoil
can talk or sing as much as you pleasd
in the fish-house, the least tap upoij
the ice will frighten away the fish.
The house not only makes a warnj
shelter for the fisherman, where he can
sit comfortably protected from thej
'wild blasts that sweep over the frozen
lake, bat, as it has no windows and thd
light is shut out above, he can sej

A Picturesque Group.
They come in late in the afternoon,
all talking at once.
"We want our tintypes taken."
"Yes, all together."
"In a group.
"Any particular style you'd like?"
"Oh, we want something picturesque."
"Yes, we want it artistic an out
door scene, you know."
The photographer quickly wheels up
mountain view for background,
waltzes a wooden looking "rock" into
the foreground, props up a rustic fence
at one side and tlirows down a shaggy,
grass suggesting mat before it. AVhile
he is composing this medley from the
inexhaustible beauties of nature the
irls di scourse on the subject at hand.
"lielle, you sit on the rock and I will
stand beside you; Grace can lean on the
fence, and, May, you sit on the floor.
We ought to have a book to be looking
at. Ah, here's an album; that will ao.
Dora, which side of my face would be
be best to have taken?"
"The outside," said Dora promptly.
"I wish ve had a parasol," says Grace.
"He quick as you can," interrupts the
photographer, realizing how precious is
every moment of the fast fading light.
Dora bestows upon him a look which
plainly sayf, "with intent to annihilate:"
"We pay you by the job, not by the
hour. Do not presume to hurry us."
At hist they locate themselves accord
ing to the dictates of their own sweet
and wayward fancies.
"Ah, my," exclaimed lielle from the
rock, "what an awfully uncomfortable
thing this is to sit on."
" "Put your hand on my shoulder,
Grace."
Finally all seems in readiness, when
just as the photographer is about to re
move the cap to expose the plate May
suddenly exclaims from the floor:
"Hold on a minute. Grace, you ought
not to be standing; you are too tall.
Change places with me."
Then ensues a general scrambling
and rearranging, Belle improving the
opportunity to try for a softer spot on
the rock.
"Am I looking at the right place?"
May anxiously inquires of the photog
rapher, as if the sun t.ould fail to do its
desired work if her l ead Wiis not turned
at just the most becoming angle.
"Yes," replies the much harassed per
sonage addressed, heroically choking
back unholy utterances. "Sit perfectly
Btillnow."
He removes the cap and a brief and
blessed silence ensues. When he re
places the cap for a moment the chorus
breaks out:
"Oh, my goodness dear nic I never
why, 1 was just"
"Kevp just as you are," says the pho
tographer authoritatively, unexpected

"I never know any one to do so long

"Oh, 1 feel as if I had just had atooth

Woman Unhappy Without Iove.
I am curious to know whether a
woman into whose life love has never
entered can ever have been what I
should call happy. 1 do not think so.
She may have found the quiet garden
of which content keeps the key, says
Louise Chandler Moulton in the Ladies'
Home Journal She may be reconciled
to her fate; and console herself by
thinking how much letter off she is
than if she were unhappily married;
but such dull resignation is not even
first cousin to the rapture of joy. I anj
old-fashioned, perhaps, in my ideas;
but I honestly think that real happiness
comes to a woman only hand in hand
with love.
AVhen she begins to feel that, with
one man in it, the room is full, and
empty when he is gone no matter how
many others may remain, she begins to
be tremulously, delieiously, deliriously
hannv Ihit that is onlv the becrin-
ning; and if love holds happiness by
the hand, fear stands at the other
elbow. A word too many or too few
a smile that does not go her way and
the girl suffers as much as she has just
enjoyed. Her very soul hungers with
in her for some dear certainty. And
w hen that comes when her troth is
plighted is that her happiest moment?
She doea not think so then; for she is
looking forward to the bridal morn
ing. The day of day comes, at last, and
the new life begins. Is that, then, the
happiest moment? Hardly, for the
very most loving people who ever lived
are not quite one, to begin with, and
they must learn to live together. A
year a year of mutual forbearance: of
getting well acquainted a happy year;
and now they look into each other's
eyes fearleesly. They are one at last,
and for all time!
f urely that is the happiest momentl
I had made up my mind to say so; but
is it?
Ah, I think, after all, the happiest
moment is when love is a sweet, shy
newcomer, and hope leada itbjtlM
