I have the misfortune of being per
sonally acquainted with my next-door
neighbors.
Mr. Platitude is comparatively harm
less, but Mrs. Platitude is a perfect
nuisance. She is perfectly idle herself,
and she cannot get it through her head
that anyone else has anything to do.
She comes in to visit me at all hours. I
can't say, "not at home1' to her, for I
never go out or come in without her
knowledge. It is no use to say I am
enjrajred, for she comes in all tho same,
always on the plea that she wants
particularly to see me, and will not de
tain me five minutes, but she forgets all
about that once she gets hold of me.
She always opens her visits by saying,
'I just dropped in," and a very big
"drop in" she is. I am sure she does
not weigh less than one hundred and
eight-. And how she talks. She al
ways knows a great deal more of my
business than I know myself.
She generally "dropsin" to tell mo
that my cook handed a parcel, early in
the morning, to the milkman; that my
Emma Jane was romping in the back
yard with the baker's boy, or that she
thinks it right to tell "mo that the
butcher stays a very long time in the
house when he calls for orders, and
what do I think of that? And do I
know, that though she has a larger
household than I, she only takes in half
as much ice as I do, and don't I think
my servants must waste it? And am I
sure that I keep my house warm
enough, for I use far less coal than she
does. And what do I think of my
Emma Jane telling her Kate that I
was a tiresome old maid, and that no
one could live with me. And then
she generally wants to know who
was the gentleman who called yester
day afternoon, or whose carriage stood
so 'long at the door, or where I spent
the whole day? Then she offers me
matronly advice, saying, that living
alone as I do, I should not receive gen
tlemen's visits without sending in for
her "to make it pleasant for me."
She always cither "drops in" when I
have a visitor, or comes in the moment
I am alone, to account for her non-appearance.
1 had a great joke the other
da and mystilied my friends most
beautifully. I had been having some
curtains dyed, and the dyer, a jocose
young man, called around with the bill.
Of course, when he rang, Airs. Plati
tude trotted up the slops after him and
saw him hand Kniiiia Jane a slip of
paper, and heard him sa': "I dye for
your iuistiv-ss. Give her that. She
knows all about it," I heard it, too,
so I bid Emma Jane show the young
man into the front parlor, and tell Mrs.
Platitude 1 was very much engaged,
and positively coidd not see her. I
paid the young mini's bill and let him
go, and have been very silent and mys
terious on the subject ever since. Mrs.
Platitude thinks that I have made a
mash, and has not neglected to express
her opinion, and spread the news far
and wide, but she remains in the dark,
and Kate aiuly tries to make Emma
Jane tell her. but poor Emma Jane
really does not know the facts. But
yesterday Mrs. Platitude had full re
venue. My parlor is a very pretty room, and
I am very proud of it. I spent all last
winter working new chair covers for it.
These were made of Human satin and
elegantly embroidered. They all came
from the upholsterer yesterday morn
ing, and thev looked siinplv quite
perfect, 1 had them unpacked
in my little bad: parlor, winch is a
very small room, and barely held them.
While 1 was gazing fondly at them, a
flood of sooty, grimy water suddenly
rushed down the chimney and saturated
three of my prettiest chairs, and
splashed all the rest, till they looked as
if they had been covered with a chim
ney sweeper's apron.
"Emma Jane, Emma Jane!" I
6creamed, and began to haul out the
chairs, but it was too late, they were
all spoiled. That tiresome Mrs. Plat
itude had, or fancied she had, a lire in
her kitchen chimney. So she got that
idiot of a maid of hers to pour water
down, and she, of course, sent it down
come other 11 vp which connected with
my back parlor, and spoiled my lovely
chairs. Of course, Mrs. Platitude
"dropped in" before I half time to re
cover my temper, and equally, of
course, I went for her.
I think I frightened her, for she
"dropped out" very quietry, but that
won't make my chairs clean again. I
see nothing for it, but to cover them in
chintz, just as I had them before, but I
never will bear to look at my lovely
Roman satin covers again.
There arc really no bounds to the
stupidity of Mr. Platitude. I have to
blame my little alarm clock for the
fact that 1 made acquaintance with
her. 1 wanted to get up vcrv early one
morning, so 1 brought my ffttle alarm
up to my room. In the course of the
day Mrs. Platitude sent in to ask me
would I object to keep mv pet rooster
tn a back room, as the
crowina: dis-
Curbed her m the mornin
When Emma Jane brought me the
message, I reallv
thought lh ad a luna-
uc tor my next uoor neighbor, l am
fond of pets, but a rooster in my best
be&room! It was too much. I did
deft know Mrs. Platitude then, and I
felt quite mortilied that any one should
fancy such a thing. I went in and
called, for I really wanted to know
what it was all about, and the per
sisted the rooster had crowed all morn
ing in my front room. I got quite
angry, and never thought of my little
alarmer, till Emma Jane suggested it
to me after 1 went home. Then peace
was made, but that is now twenty
Tears ago, and Mrs. Platitude has kept
dropping in" ever since.
I do now like Mrs. Platitude's gossip,
& is so ill-natured. For my own part
I mever say an unkind word of any
one. 1 pnde mvscli on not being sat-
irical and prone to see the faults of oth-
ra hut Mrs. Platitude says such things.
She told me that poor old Mr. Heath
rbone died because the young Heath-,
erbones would not leave him in peace,
at home, but dragged him here and
there for change ofair, poor old man !
And then in the same breath she told:
Ae how the young Smilers actually
murdered tBeir old father by keeping
him in town, whena breath of country
air would have, saved his life.
I wonder what she says about me
when I am not by. One thing is a com-,
fort, she has not brains enough to say
anything clever. It will be almost
worth the loss of my chair covers if she
stops "dropping in" for a little while,
and sending in to borrow my things,
but I am sure she will never pass Mon
day morning without sending in to me
for soap. She has her washing done at
home, but she never can remember to
fot in soap, so she borrows it from me.
he borrows everything from me, but
ter, salt, flat-irons, hair-pins, coffee,
mustard, darning cotton, pepper. Sho
got ashamed of herself once and cams
in to me to helD her to make a list
of things she ought to have in the
house, Sut the woman can't even spell.
She asked me were there two ps in
pepper, and when I said "Yes, three,"
she actually put three in a row. like
this "peppper."
Not content with borrowing my
things she constantly finds fault with
the thing she borrows. One day she
sent in for the loan of my steps to put
up curtains.
I never would have risked them had
I had the least idea she meant to get
on them herself. They were a good
set of steps, well calculated to support
an average weight, but they gave way
under hers, and two of my steps and
her collar bone got broken. Oh! how
she tormented me about that collar
bone Sometimes I felt tempted to
agree with some of the neighbors who
said it was a pity it was not her neck.
She took to literature once, and
wrote a series of articles called "The
Platitude Papers," by A. Platitude
Sho meant to make me hear them all,
but I got an opportune cold, which
made me so deaf that she gave it up
in despair, ad I have refused to read
them myself till she could get an editor
to do so first. So I think I am toler
ably safe.
Since the episode of the chair covers
I h'ave become desperate, and I think I
will change my house. It is a little
hard on me. The locality suits me, so
does the house, so does all and every
thing except the Platitudes. I don't
want to say anything unkind, but I do
not think there is one saint in the cal
endar, even Moses himself, who would
have patience to live next door to
them. So, it is not too much to expect,
even of a charitable, kindly, good-natured
old girl like
Tabitha Tompkins.
N. B. Mrs. Platitude has just sent
in for the loan of an easy chair. Well,
that woman has tho impertinence of
well, I shan't lend it The line must
be drawn somewhere. T. Tompkins.
P. S. By heavens, she's coming in
for it herself. Judge.
YOUNG CHIMPANZEES.
A Species of the Monkey Family Which
Closely Resembles Man?
The chimpanzee is generally ad
mitted to be the highest species of the
apes, because its anatomy compares
more favorably with that of man than
any other of the monkey family. The
adult measures nearly five feet in
height. Its body is covered with long
blackish-brown hair, which is thick
upon the back, but scant upon the fore
part of the body; at tho sides of the
head the hair is very long, and hangs
down in the form of whiskers; the eyes
are rather small; the lips are thick, and
admit of great protrusion. The hands
and feet are nearly naked, and the
hairs of the forearm arc directed toward
the elbow.
The chimpanzee is a native of the
Guinea region of West Africa. It has
only been within the last few years that
living specimens have been exhibited
in this country. Our Zoological Gar
dens, Philadelphia, have now two in
teresting individuals of this species
Although they are comparatively
young, perhaps not older than six
years, yet they have an extremely an
tiquated appearance. I heard a coun
tryman say to a bystander that he
"guessed they were seventy years old,
easy." One of them has such a great
fondness for an old blanket that he
carries or drags it with him wherever
ho goes. Even if he desires to climb
to the extreme top of his cage, the
blanket must go along, although it
greatly retards his progress. He
knows its use, but does not always use
it judiciously. Thus, on au oppress
ively hot day in July I have seen him
reclining for twenty minutes or more,
entirely enveloped in the blanket, with
the exception of his face, looking at
the spectators with a comical and pout
ing expression. I saw one, when teased
and disappointed by its keeper, throw
itself upon the lloor, and roll and
scream vehemently, very like a
naughty child in a tantrum. A board
shelf was placed across their cage for
them to climb upon. This they soon
found could bo used as a spring board,
and nothing seems to give them more
pleasure than, when there is a good
audience, to steal gently to the center
of the board, grasp it tightly with all
fours, and spring violently" up and
down, causing the board with them
selves to vibrate rapidly, and produc
ing at the same time a loud, jarring
noise. They then seem to greatlv en
joy the startled and amused looks of
the spectators. Perhaps one of their
most human actions is languidly to re
cline, and holding a straw in one hand,
listlessly to chew at its tip, while the
eyes are rolled vacantly around. It
may be that they are then building
"castles in Spain!" A lady observing
a chimpanzee thus engaged, said he
was thinking of liberty and his sunny
home. But I do not for a moment
suppose he was dreaming of and long
ing for his native home the luxuriant
and balmy forests beside the calm-gliding
Gambia but rather saying to him
self: "Isn't it most time for that bossy
and consequential cousin of mine to
bring me my boiled rice and milk?"

Bacteria in Bricks.
A new danger, it is said, has been
discovered in sanitary organization.
The nbiquitus bacterium, which proves
to be the germ of so manj' obscure dis
eases, has been found by M. Parize, a
French savant, to take up its abode in
brick walls. Noticing some peculiar
mark on the outside of the wall, ha
scraped a little off and placed it under a
magnifying power of three hundred
the result of which was to show myri
ads of organisms moving about with
extraordinary activity. It was the
more singular that this red dust had
been covered with a layer of lime a
quarter of an inch thick. Under the
impression that the bacteria might have
been a superficial deposit, M. Parize
then drilled a hole into the very center
of the brick, and to his great surprise
discovered the powdered material was
full of the same living organisms,
although not in such large quantities
as in the external layer. To make sure
that this was not au" exceptional brick,
he carried on his experiments at various
places in the walls and always with the
same result; that the bricks were more
or less impregnated with bacteria,
which appear to live equally as ll in
a brick wall as in a saucer of some fpr-
Renting sobetaace. 2f. Y. Observer.
A NEW YORK HERMIT.
Thomas Williams, the Strange Man Who
lives In a Hole on tho Bank of the
Niagara- Elver A Beggar, But Not a
Bllser.
I am the most unfortunate man you
over saw, and the poorest. I have not
the grease spot of a relative on earth;
am fifty-four years old, and have seen
more misery, want, sickness and suffer
in than any man living. I have been an
outcast for nine years. During that
time I have walked five thousand miles
in search of peace. I went from Pres
cott, Canada, to Ogdensburg, thence
to Utica, New York, Camden, Phila
delphia, Erie, Pa., down to New Or
leans, from there to Pensacola, Fla.,
and back to New York. I have lived
all summer in a sandhill at Point Al
bino, and am now building this house
to live in this winter." With these
words the most singular man within a
radius of hundreds of miles of Buffalo
began a conversation yesterday with a
stranger who found him at work. He
stood on the bank of the Niagara River,
about a quarter of a mile from the Ca
nadian terminus of the international
oridge. There, close to the water's
edgefand not a foot above high-water
mark, he has dug a hole in the ground
about six feet square. He is building
a hut of pieces of fence boards and
drift-wood, to be afterward covered
with sand and earth. His tools are a
potato-hook, an old hammer, a piece
of bucksaw blade stuck in a handle,
and a broken shovel. He was dressed
in pair of patched and ragged overalls,
held up by a single suspender made of
cloth, over a shabby coat buttoned into
the overalls like a shirt His hair and
beard were long, gray, and matted
thickly. Ho wore an old battered straw
hat and was barefooted. All the pos
sessions he had, apparently, were a few
apples, two empty, blackened tomato
cans, some pieces of carpet, a pair of
old pantaloons, a ragged coat, two
pairs of unwashed stockings, two pairs
of shoes, and a box made of a piece of
stove pipe. His clothes were fastened
together with wooden pegs, and all
about him seemed the result of an in
genious study of vagrancy. The charred
remains of a stum) lay upon a pilo
of earth thrown up from the hole. At
his feet huddled a bony sneaking
dog, whose long, gray hair was
full of thistles, and resembled its
master in its yellowish hue of dirt.
Yet the man was neither crazy, fool
ish, nor very much depressed by his
condition. He rather gloried in Ins
poverty. The bent of nis conversa
tion was to gain the sympathy the
coppers of his callers. Next his hut
passes the main roadway, over which
the farming neighborhood of Fort
Erie passes to and fro.
"I have not used soap in four years,"
said he, looking at his soiled hands.
"There is potash in all soap which, if
taken, is deadly poison. I got some
into my system once, when a silver
burnisher, and it nearly killed me. I
was a mass of boils, was paralyzed and
lost my hair. It was then that I made
the discovery which cured me I went
and lived in the ground. All diseases,"
said he, dropping the saw and using
his hands to make gestures, "come out
of the earth, either through rich food
or drink as our substances come from
tho earth. I dug a hole in the ground
like this and lhed in it, sleeping on
the sand. I tell you I could feel the
disease leaving me like a fever when it
cools. I am now as sound as a man
can be. I am nimble, can dance, and
do dance, can run, and have walked
thousands of miles. I am never sick.
I shall live a good many years yet,
and I want to."
"What do you do to pass away the
time?" was asked.
"I study inyself. I know myself, my
weaknesses andmysins. I have got rid
of the tobacco and rum habits entirely.
I cook my own food, and I know how
to do it. I do not like to beg, but do
when I can not pick up a living. I do not
read much. All 1 know of letters is
what I have learned from scraps of
paper and from hearing men talk. I
have composed a few songs, words and
music. Of course I can not write
them, but I sing for my friends and
play the bones or whistle.
"Arc you not afraid of freezing
here.-' In the winter the ice will pile
up all over your hut."
"No, I guess not. As for cold, I can
stand that. Cold weather is healthy.
I have slept out here since Monday,
and we have had frost nearly every
night. I put on two pairs of stockings,
the other pantaloons, and lie in the hole
under the carpets. I shall have a stove
in here as soon as I get the house
built"
"There will not be room, will there?"
"Oh, yes. I build a stove of my own
invention by turning a kettle upside
down and connecting it with a draft
and a mud chimney. I build the fire
under the kettle. Here is a box I have
used as a cooking-pan. I made it out
of a short piece of stove-pipe, and fas
tened a sheet-iron bottom on it by
pounding the edge over with sticks.
Strange to say it will hold water. I
use it now as a treasure-box, and keep
thread, knick-knacks and a song-book
in it. I like minstrel songs. No, I
think I will have no trouble here on ac
count of the weather. I wish I had a
Bible and some books to read. I don't
go much on the Bible think it is like
cranberry sauce on turkey. It will not
make a square meal of itself. Still, I
don't know about it"
"How came you to be alone and liv
ing in this way?"
"Well, iny father was an Irishman,
who married again after my mother's
death and moved away into the woods
of Indiana, on the fresh-water rivers,
so-called. He did not like my step
mother, nor me cither. My mother
died in giving me birth, and" I always
thought my father hated me for it. At
any rate, -after my step-mother died, he
took me to a small village somewhere
and left me with a strange man. I
have never married, but once had a
gal' in Buffalo. I used to compose
songs about her, but I don't know
"Do you expect to live here uoon pub
lic charity?"
"Yes. I have only earned $2.60 since
last harvest a year ago. When I work
and cat women's cooking, I get sick
and have to quit Here I shall have
pure water to drink, pure air, pure
food, and shall live in the ground. One
might almost live on this water alone."
"But people will see that you are
well, whole, and apparently able to
work. They will not give you any
thing." T got ten cents this morning, and
am never without a penny. I can
earn a living playing the bones and
singing at saloons, but I keep away
from them. I don't want to be called
a bum.' My condition is the result of
misfortune and saffcring. I don't want
you4o .make, my case a load on your
mind, though, as a charitable man
ought to do. I always get along. I have
been taken for a miser. Whde living
in the swamps near Hamilton, Ont, I
was fired at one night I got a load of
shot in the rim of my hat, my coat col
lar and the folds of a scarf around my
neck. No, I'm no miser."
The strange man continued to relate
incidents of his trampings; of his life
and experiences, and gave his views
opon all manner of subjects, including
labor, money, scenery of the south,
"minstrelism" and newspapers never
suspecting that he was talking to an

ALASKA.
Growth of the Luralwr niul Mining tkv
tciests There.
Although this vast territory of Alaska
measures one thousand four hundred
miles one way and two thousaud two
hundred the other, and its furthest
island is as far west of San Francisco
as that city is west of Bath, in .Maine,
few jicoplc have any clear idea of the
country and its people. Within the
four hundred miles between its north
ern and southern boundaries there is a
chance for a -great ranm. of climate,
1 and while the northern portion of the
1 mainland lies within the Arctic " circle
and is wrapped in the show and ice of
, polar regions. Souther i Alaska re
' joices in that its winter is not as severe
, as that of Marvland of ffsnluckv. The
isothermal li:es make Krange curves
on the Pacilic coast, and inliuenccd by
the warm Japan it ream of Kuro Sino,
a mild temperate climate is given to
the shores and archipelago of South
western Alaska. As in California,
temperature and climate depend more
upon the distance from the seacoast
than upon distance from the equator,
'Sitka summers are quite as windy
and foggy, but hardly cooler than those
of San Francisco. Sitka itself lies in
the same latitude as Aberdeen, Scot
land, and in all the islands south of it
there is much the same climate, ac
companied by the corresponding ocean
current as prevails on the west coast of
Ireland. By the records of the Russian
observatory maintained here for fifty
years, the thermometer fell to zero
only three times during that period.
The reports of commanders of United
States ships during the past four years
confirm this climatic marvel and show
many other strange things in meteor
ology. The lumber interests are undeveloped,
but a great industry is in promise for
the future, as all Southeastern Alaska
from Cape Fox to the Kenai peninsula
is clothed with forests denser than any
thing in Oregon or Washington Ter
ritory. The comparative mild temper
ature, the heavy rainfall, and the
nightlcss days" of the summer
season force everything to a trop
ical luxuriance. No forest fires ever
devastate these pine-clad shores
and islands, and one season suffices to
clothe with living green undergrowth
the scars of land-slides or avalauches.
This vast area of forest includes little be
sides conifera. Much of the pine is as
poor as Oregon pine, which is such bad
ship timber that vessels built of it can
onlv be insured as A No. 1 for three
years. The white spruce, Sitka pine,
which grows to a height of one hun
dred and fifty to one hundred and
seventy-five feet and is from three to
six feet in diameter, is the common tree
ia all these forests, and Menzies and
Merlon spruce, red and yellow cedar,
pinus contorra, lir, cottonwood, ash,
alder, small maple, and small birch are
the other trees most frequently met
with. The red and yellow cedar are
the most valuable woods, and the lat
ter, more particularly, is the only good
ship building material on the Pacific
coast Its value arises chiefly from the
fact that it is impervious to the teredo
or boring worm, which eats up the
pine piles under Puget Sound wharves
every two or three years. It has a line
grain and a certain fragrance, and
when made into chests it affords pro
tection from morlis to anything placed
within. This yellow cedar is rarely
found south of the Alaska boundary,
and the largest tracts of it are on Kii
preanoff, Kon, and the Prince of Wales
island. It was once urged upon Con
gress to declare the Prince of Wales
island a Government reservation for
the purpose of preserving this valuable
ship timber and piling for its own use,
but, like all Alaska bills, it was laughed
at and voted down. As the Govern

a serious hindrance to settlers, miners
and owners of canneries.
The density of the forest growth, the
tangle of undergrowth, and the thick
carpet of moss that covers every inch
of the ground has made mineral pros
pecting very slow and difficult The
men who discovered a ledge of quartz
near Sitka worked for ten days to clear
oft' a small patch of grouaid" over the
out-croppings, and the more one sees
of these dense, tangled forests, the
more one marvels at the extensive min
ing region that has been opened up
near Juneau and across on Doug
lass Island. As they have had neither
land offices, surveyors, nor recorders,
the ownership of mining claims has
been rather uncertain. While they
could get no title to their claims, nor
protection to themselves, mine-owners
have been contented to do only yearly
assessment work, wash or pound out
enough gold to pa' expenses, and keep
very still while they held their mines byr
sufferance, luck, or shot-guns only.
The fear of inviting more adventurers
to come and jump their claims and in
crease mob rule, has made the miners
very reticent about the value of their
properties, and boasting in that line is
unknown in the mining camps of the
Archipelago. The first quartz ledges
were found near Sitka in 1871, but bad
management and bad luck have pre
vented their becoming profitable claims.
A mill was erected on one of the ledges
and was successfully worked for awhile,
but litigation and the vicissitudes of
mining life have kept it at a stand-still
for several years. The great mining re
gion is at Juneau, one hundred and fiTty

Books 'with Emotions.
When a tomtit builds its nest, as was
reported by a naturalist lately, in a
dead crow which had been hung up in
a field for the express purpose of
frightening little birds away, farmers
are taught a lesson in the morality of
scarecrows. Both morality and logic
should be observed in scarecrows. To
hang up the executed rook in the mid
dle of a potato patch is, if properly
considered, a most shocking act. It
is an outrage upon all the tendercst
feeling of the black republic in the
neighboring elms. Every rook in
them must feel hurt by the shame
less exposure of a relative's corpse;
and for such a purpose, too to frighten
away all others of its kind. As if the
"mere spectacle of the dry old careass,
shrivelled up into the veriest mummy of
a rook and twirling on its gibbet in a
silly, neck-wrung sort of way, with
every breath of wind, were not in itself
sufficient to keep every rook, indeed
every fowl with any of the decencies
of emotion, away from the spot But
is it moral to take advantage of the
susceptibilities of birds in this cruel
way; to harrow their feelings so
brutally when other means are availa
ble? Is even the logic of the proceed
ing obvious? For it is difficult to be
live that a live crow is scared by a
dead one. They fly over it, recognize
it are shocked and depart Or they
assemble in indignant cawcus, if we
may use the word, upon a neighboring
tree, and pass resolutions condemning

OIET Oh THE FAMILY.
When, W-iut anil How to i:.il Sjiuo Use
ful I Hut-..
Those persons who riesiro to live
themselves and have, their families live
hygienically, fiud jt very diiiicult to
decide what foods are healthy and
what are not. But there are a few gen
eral rules that may be given. Oae of
the waj-s of accomplishing this is by
means of the pro; t comb! nations of
different kii.ls of In 1. A few hints on
this subject are g:vu i in a buok on the
diet .question, as follow
A
combina
tion of dishes that would be delightful
in the sultry days of July or August
would be altogether insufficient to sat
isfy the appetite on a cold December
day, or a kejn frosty morning; and
when the weather i not, only cold, but
damp, the food is always best relished
if warm. Often a good plate of hot
soup, to be followed by coru-bread and
baked potatoes, and perhaps another
warm vegetable is very acceptable on
damp, cold days, when there is a raw
atmosphere, chilling ono through. In
the early fall days, before the stoves are
put up, the mornings are very chilly and
the juicy fruits and cooling vegetables
hat have bean so acceptable during the
heats in summer should be replaced by
something warmer and more stimula
ting. To form a perfect diet, the cook, or
in other words the housekeeper, must
usaher rare good sense in the matter,
and adapt the food to the circumstances
of the case. What would be suitable in
the case of a student or one engaged in
sedentary occupations is not most suita
ble for the farmer who is actively at
work. He needs those foods which
will give him .he greatest amount of
flesh-forming elements, which
we
fiml
in meat, milk, ejrirs. and the
gluten
of
grains, which we will find in oat-meal.
cracked wheat, etc. The various veg
etables, beans, peas And the Hubbard
squashes also contain great nutriment
Bread made from the whole wheat flour
which contains the gluten of the grain
is the most nutritious.
No doubt much injur' is done to
children by their being allowed to eat
highly seasoned and unsuitable food.
While there may be a difference of
opinion as to the healthfuluess and de
sirability of anyone consuming pickles,
strong coffee and using pepper, highly
spiced sauces, etc., there are few who
will claim they arc suitable articles for
children's diet It is said that the ex
cessive use of red pepcr which is so
common in the cooking of torrid cli
mates is rendered necessary by the effect
of the long and continued hoat on the liv
er, which weakens it and lessens the sup
ply of bile; the pepper having the effect
of stimulating this organ. This excuse
can hardly be urged for its use in this
climate and certainly not with children.
A great deal is also said about eating
too much, but a child should not bo
stinted in its food. It requires a good
deal to supply the waste and keeji up
the growth. But it should be of tho
right kind. It has been said with
truth that a child will seldom over-eat
of perfectly simply food, when it will
beg for more pastry and cake. There
is much truth after all in the saying
which sturuls so harsh to childish ears,
" If yos: an' ut hungry enough to cat
bread and butter, you don't need any
thing." The diet need not be confined
to quite such a limited list as this, but
may embrace fruit, plain cookies, etc.,
but the principle holds good that plain
food will be relished by the hungry per
son, and if not hungry he is better off
without any. If thero is a craving
for some particular article, it
shows .there is a want in the system
which should be supplied in the food.
The child needs sugar, but it should be
supplied in the food, not in lumps from
the sugar-bowl at all times of the day.
In this connection the words of Miss
Frances Willard, who is known through-
out tne country as tne
. , f .
apostle of tem
perance conies with force: "I have
formed a settled conviction that the
world is fed too much. Pastries, cfces,
hot bread, rich gravies, pickles and pep
per sauces are all discarded from my
bill of fare,' and I firmly believe they
will be from the recipes of the twentieth
century. Entire wheat flour brpad,
vegetables, fruit, fish, with a little n;eat,
and milk as the chief drink, will distil
in the alembic of the digestive organs
into pure, rich, feverless blood, electric
but steady nerves, and brains that jan
'think GoU's thoughts after Hin, as
they have never yet thought. Tin is
my recipe: 'Plain living and Iv.gh
thinking, and this w my warniyg:
With high living you will get exceeding
ly plain thinkihg." Western RuriM

A QUAKER WEDDING.
The Marriage Ceremoify According: to v'e
Orthodox Frlentl Quaker Prescription
A Quaker wedding is not the uneouth
affair which the description given woftld
lead the reader to suppose, but is, on
the contrary, a solemn and impressive
ceremony, decorous and orderly in the
extreme. The prospective bride aid
groom pass meeting threo or four
woeks before the day set for the mar
riage. That is, they appear in the
meeting to which the bride belongs,
and a declaration of their intention is
publicly made. If no obstacle appears
between the "passing" and the wed
ding day, the clerk of the meeting pre
pares the marriage certificate, large
enough always to contabi many signa
tures. When the wedding day arrives
all the front seats on the men s side of
the house arc reserved for the wedding.
It is not necessarily on a fifth day,
as stated, but upon whatever day
of the week, except the first day, the
regular meeting for worship is held in
that district. After thi meeting is
"settled into stillness," the wedding
party enters, the bride leaning on the
arm of the bridegroom; they take seats
together, not on opposite sides of the
house, undv the minister's gallery, (on
Lthe men's side of course,) facing tho
congregation, not with their backs to it.
The bridesmaids and groomsmen, rang
ing in number from four to eight, fol
low the bride and groom and take the
front seats. Then the parents of the
contracting parties, and other relatives
and friends arrive and occupy the re
mainder of the. reserved space. After
all arc seated there is a half hour or
more of silence, or sometimes a prayer
or short sermon, then the ceremony
takes place. The groom rises and gives
his hand to the bnde, who rises by his
side, he still retaining her hand. He
says nothing about his worldly goods
as stated, but repeats gravely these
words: "In the presence of the Lord and
this assembly, 1 take Mary Penn to be
my wife, promising, by Divine assist
ance, to be unto her a faithful and loving
husband until death shall separate us.
She repeats a corresponding formula,
and thev sit down. A table is then
placed before the pair, upon which is
spread the marriage certificate. The
sign it, the relatives and friends sign it,
and after another interval of silence, a
minister or elder rises in the gallery
and says quietly: "The wedding com
pany may now retire." The newly
married man gives his arm to his wife
and they pass out, as they have entered.
together. The bridesmaids and grooms
men follow in pairs, the rest of the com
pany follow them, and not until the last
carriage is driven away does the minis
ter at the hea4 of the gallery shake
liands with his next neighbor as a signal
'that the meeting is dismissed. In ac
jcordance with ancient usage, two ovej
;seers are appointed to be present at th
wedding breakfast to see to it that a
proper decorum is preserved, and the
Icierk enters the marriage on the records
lf the meeting. Pittsburgh Dispatch.
