There is nothing in this world so bail as
porpttual 'weeks What a blessed thing that
no one has ever yet quite invented perpetuel
motion! Yet I know some little mothers
that are almost that; they never conic to a '
full stop-atst till death trips them up. I do
not wonder these little bodies think of the
future life only as rest -one great eternal
rest. That word involves all that they can
conceive as desirable. Su this life becomes
tolerable because it points toward one huge
stop. It is their fate hero to go on. If it be
not a broom it is it needle; and if not these it
is a pan of dough. l'p in the morning with
a groan; and into bed at night with itsigh.
Their babes are puny because the mothers
- -never_coulds step, eyes-, I know some babes
that at birth looked ae-d-theylitiff worked
hard for 100 years; and they never get over
their weazeued look. They always looked
fagged; but with fretted nerves they go
trotting on through life, hoping for rest
hereafter, What can a genuine Yankee
woman do about itt She inherits the go
ahead of a dozen generations. Blois us! but
she knows no more how to stop than she
knows how to fly.
And how is it about the boys and gilds
themselves, born of such stock: They come
intathe world as some actors come on the
stage, with a leap and a halloo; and they
never stop till they die. Some one has de-
' fined a Yankee as a man who cannot sit still.
You do not know why lie whittles. It is
generic action. It is not he, Jonathan Tar-
box, who whittles, but the whole of Now
England, for 300 years -the whole Yankee
nation -represented by Jouathan. Every
nation thus gets ;its features, its type, its
eut, its characteristic. An Englishman emi-
nently knows how to stop and when to stop.
Ile is stubbornly constituted in the words,
"I won't." The Yankee's stubburnness lS in
"I will," So a baby, born in this line of
restless aggressiveness, is nervous as an eel.
I do not think you could do better than
collect a gallery of !Vitt portraits, taken of
the common people. You would Mill the an-
tithesis most perfect between the babies of
Holland and those of Almaden- the reenter
phlegmatic as t heir sires, and the latter as
restless as their mothers. Indeed, but the
one- great national need is for our wienen to
learn the art of stopping. 1 ant Ind talking

Don't, Hear Everything. •
The art of not hearing should be learned
by all. It is fully as important to domestic
happiness as a cultivated ear, for which so
much money and time are expended. There
are so many things which it ie painful 'to
hear, many whieh we ought not to hear, very
many which, if heard, will disturb the teme
per, corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract
from contentment and happiness, that every
beseduretted to take in our shut out
sounds according to his pleasure.
It a mate falls into &violent passion and
calls us all manner of names, at the first word
we should shut our ears and hear no more.
If, in our quiet voyage of life, we find our-
selves caught in one of those domestic whirl-
winds of scolding, we should shut our ears as
a sailor would furl his sail, and making all
tight, scud before the gale, If a hot and
restless man b,egins to inflame our feelings,
we should consider what mischief these fiery
sparks may do in our magazine below, where
our tongue!. Is kept, and instantly close the
door.
If, as has been remarked, all the petty
things said of one by heedless or ill natured
idlers were to be brought home to him, he
would bemuse a mere walking pincushion,
stuck full of sharp remarks. If we would be
happy, when among good men we should
open our ears; when among bad men, :flint
them. It is not worth while to hear what
our neighbors say about our children, what
our rivals say about our business, our dregs
or our affaire,
The art of not hearing, though untaught in
our sehools, is by no means unpracticed in
society. We have noticed that it well bred
woman never hears a vulgar or impertinent
remark. A kind of discreet) deafness saves

The Education of Girls.
The ediugiti,m, the life of today's women,
has unfitted them to be mothers, but the
education of today's girls is bringing them to
womanhood more pei'...fect speeimmis of their

CLAIMS THAT ARE MADE AGAINST
A RAILROAD COMPANY.
A Chat in the Odds and Ends Depart-
ment -Ways of the Professional Swin-
dler -Various Fraudulent siethods-Lost
Freight Sold at Auction.
"We have, all the time, a large amount of
stuff which accumulates on our hands," said
the "lost baggage" agent of one of the rail-
roads to a reporter; "but most of the prop-
erty left on our cars by accident is sure to be
quickly called for if it has any particular
value."
"Any trouble in identifying applicants as
proper owners of the baggage claimed 1"
"Not particularly. Our most frequent
trouble is the adjustment of false claims.
We can tell by a person's manner whether
the claim is a just one or not. Take the pro-
fessional swindler, for instance. Besides hav-
ing a brusque manner, his claim is made in
an indefinite way as to number of check,
style of package and the contents theeeof.
The true claimant -the person who has really
lost something -has a respectful and anxious
bearing. Ile jnyariabbr gives an accurate
description of the lost parcel, and is very
slow with threats of suit to recover dam-
ages."
"1 suppose that overshoes and umbrellas
are the mettles most frequently left in caret"
"No more frequeet than small pureels of
clothing, shawls and small valises, but, as I
say, these are always quickly claimed. It is
with fraudulent claims for lost baggage that
we have the most experience."
IltA.PDPLENT CLAIMS,
''What are the fraudulent methods!"
••Most numerous, and some of them, most
ridiculous. Now here's an old- claim which,
while not fraudulent, is worthless and most
bull headed. Several weeks shwa a barrel of
whisky and a ease of canned goods were ship-
ped to a grocer in the interior of the state,
About the time of the shipment the grocer
died. Immediately, his entire stock yew; taken
by a wholesale grocer who had a chattel
mortgage thereon, and so without leaving a
family or any property, he was buried. There
Was no estate and accordingly no executor.
Meanwhile the goods shipped over our road
lay in the freight house, there being no one
to deliver them to. I notified the shipper of
the sitaation and ho replies by saying that
our company must keep the goods and that
he will hold us responsible therefor.
"I had a traveling man try to get $S5 out
of us for damage done tout pair of very rare
a Lel fine window curtains. Damage done, as
he elaimed, by snow melting through his
stutiple ease, which had been carelessly
dumped in a snow bank by one of our bag-
gngemen, and so staining the curtains."
'Had the sample case been so dumped!"
..Possibly. At least we didn't dispute that
fetture of the claim. All we asked was that
Ito present a receipt from his employers
showing that he had paid them, as he
elaimed, the $S5 for damage done, and which
he had to make good to his firm. He failed to
produce the receipt, and so, of his own voli-
tic in, the ease was dropped.
"Another case came from a man whti. put
in a claim for $5 for new castings and freight
thereon, and $C.50 for labor in patting them
into a stove shipped over our road and broken
while in transit. I investigated the caee and,
found that a leg had been broken out of the
stove anti that the man had, instead of get-
ting new castings, paid a village blacksmith
e1.50 ,for riveting the old leg back in its
place. No new casting had been bought,, no
freight had been paid, and the entire cost to
him had been less than tue. Yet he claimed
$7.50 from us.
"We had another case where one of our'
agents delivered SoMe freight with an ex-
pense bill calling for eleven cases of goods.
But ten eases 'showed up,' and the parties to
whom the goods were delivered, while they
seemed surprised at the deficiency, at once
explained that the missing case contained
'books, a silk dress and more books.' Phat
was their very indefinite inventory, and they
stuck to it quite firmly. Investigation -showed
that but ten cases had been shipped, that our
agent had made a mistake Mu his way bill
and so on the expense bill, and finally that
the people at last confessed that they hadn't
lost so much as a tin spoon of their house-
hold goods shipped."
SOLD AT APCTION.
"What, becomes of 'lost freight' never
claimed?" .
"We sell it at auction. It seldom has any
value except to the rag and junk dealers.. Of
course we sell -packages according to the way
in which they are billed.. We cannot tell as
to their value. Once in a while a purchaser
gets nicely taken in. I recollect at one of
our sales we got $13 for a large crate billed
'crockery.' A well known physician was the
purchaser, and when the crate was opened it
was found to contain a lot of plaster of paris
images, such as Italians peddle about the
st reefs."
"Worth $5, perhaps, to one of those ped-
dlers'!"
"Poteibly, but not worth five cents to the
dieter. Onee in a while, however, a good
deal may be Made. I recollect we sold a con-
signment billed 'two boxes anti one barrel of
dust.' It brought $1.50, and when opened
the barrel contained Paris green and the
boxes held two dozen packages of a patent
insect powder. I understood that the per -
gismo. sold the lot to a wholesale druggist for
VI, Another box billed as 'one box of cull -

Beauty of Southern Women.
As a rule southern women have small and
pretty feet. Certainly they do not spoil them
in walking, for in no section of the country is
so little physical exercise indulged in by the
gentle sex. They, too, are large of eye and
soft of speech. To make themselves agree-
able is a canon, and their flattery isseductive
because apparently 'unconscious. They are
strong not only in family feelings and the
ties of kinship, but have an unbounded pride
in their particular state, and an affection. so
strong -for it that if the old issue had &u-
pended on winnen one doubts that they ever
would have been beaten. -New York Press,
The Baby's First Tear.
It is not a welcome fact, but it is it very
pregnant one, that the less babies are talked

the little frame time to become accustomed
to the strain upon it of acquaintance with
this restless, rictting world of ours. -Demo -

41 trust everything, under God,"
sail Lord Thougham, "to habit, Upon
which in all ages, the law giver, LIS
well as the school -master, has mainly
placed his relianceihabit,which makes
everything easy, and casts altdifficul-
ties upon the deviaton from a wanted
course. Make sobriety a habit, and
intemperance will be hateiul; make
prudence a habit, and reckless pro-
fligacy will be as contrary to the na-
ture of the child, grown or adult, as
the most atrocious crimes are to any
of your lordships. Give a child the
habit of sacredly regarding the truth;
of carefully- respecting the property
of others; of scrupulously abstaining
from all acts of improvidence which
can involve him in distress, and he
will just as likely think of rushing in-
to an element in which he cannot
breath, as of lying or cheating or
swearing.
Potty White Caps called at the
home of W. H. Toney, at English,
Crawford Comity, Ind., Pi iday
night, dragged him to a telegraph
pole and whipped him unmercifully,
His recovery is doubtful. He is a
prominent citizen and a man of con-
siderable means. The charge aretibst
him was drunkenness and abuse of
his tinnily; Jackson Goodman,
who lives near English, was noti-
fied to change his manner of doing
business by keeping sober. James
I Pro, editor of the English News,
was notified to publish that the
White Caps would attend time elec.
tion next November, and that all
persons detected buying or selling
votes or -acting dishonorable in any
way would be treated to 200 lashes.
The people of Crawford Colinty are
much excited and an attempt will
be made to organize a large company
of 'good citizens to capture the out-
laws. An attempt will also be
made to get Governor Gray to send
State Militia to the county.
MAMMONISM IN THE
IU Hell.
The last 11111nber Or tins Eng! ish
Presbyterian quotes the Rev. H.
Price Huges as fol nge—
Mammonism in the State is the
main cause of the Atheistic Social-
ism, Communism, and Nihilism
which threaten the veryfounda-
tions of European Society. Mam-
monism. in the church is the main
cause of dry sormons,barren pray-
ers and half -empty sanctuaries.

I believe - this is time of. all -
Christian communions.. I am
sure it is the case in my
own communion. As a Mission
.preacher I had special opportun-
ities, for twenty years, of know-
ing facts which do not lie upon the
decorous surface of our churchlife
and 1 solemnly 'declare that it' is
impossible to find language strong
enough to describe the havoc
Which the love of money has
wrought in Methodist families. I
have been for "many years, as it is
well known, an enthusiastic total
abstainer, and am therefore not
likely to underestimate the rav-
ages of stOing drink. But count: -
less facts eompel me to , eon fess
that, inside my. own church, the
love of inoney n4 a more disastrous
eurse even than the love of drink:
Drunkenness bath slain its thous-
ands nd mammonism its ten thou-

side the pale. of the church, that
