It is sane times a disadvantage to live in
the corner house. It becomes the favorite
!place of loungere, the camping -ground of
nursemaids, the prize ring for the small boy,
the drawing-reon ef the aervant-girl of the
neighboring bick', for here she is compelled
to entert riu her lover and friends because her
mistress does not believe in "followers."
But there are advanteges as well as disad-

ied man after
One es enabled to understand,while study-
ing the humen driftwood thrown by the
the waves of heat ou to the brow of the hill
from the houses at its foot, some of the rea-
sons why the wages cf the workingmen ac-
complish so little in providing comfort for
their families. From early morning till late
at night there sit groups of women from the
tenement hciuees on the curbstone or on the
stoops'or they saunter elowly back and
forth from group to group, with babies of
all ages with them. The talk rumbles on
without break, but the hands are always
idle. The babies sleep on the outstretched
laps of the mothers or are deposited on the
cobble atones to pull the grass that grows
from between them, or the mother whose
baby is on its feet relieves the mother whose
baby is still in arms, but there is no thought
of using those idle hours for the benefit of
the family. Of course, one who knowa their
limitations knows that these women never
learned how te tree their hands except in
connection with machinery, or in making
some special article or part of an article of
the use of which they have no knowledge.
The bebiss go in rags, bat they are clean,
ironed preba,bler tomewhat indifferently. But-
tons hang off, the mothers' dresses are in
- disorder, while their hair is neatly combed;
but how to mend rags, of the value of keep-
ing buttons sewed on,
of the making over of
garmentsby eutgrown y one child for the use
of another, they have no knowledge. Love
enough they have; they are patient beyond
compreher sion, moat of them, and are idle,
not from choice, but from ignorance. The
discontented expression that is seen one
feels sure is the restat of a half awakened
ciensciousness that they might do so much
more if only they knew how. Sitting one
warm, morning watching these women, the
thought saddenly occurred to the writer: If
a room could be furnished somewhere in
this neighborhood, a few hammocks put in,
and women of intelligence foundwhowould
go there for an hour or two each day and
teach these women how to sew, how to
take care of their babe s, how much coula
be gained for these families ! Croesing the
street to the group, with which she had
established: a bowing acquaintance, she sat
down among them and proposed the plan,
saying, " Now, if this room were opened,
would you come there?" It would be so
much more come- rta,ble than the street."
She was earnest ashamed, when she saw the
quick responae,though it was only just a sug-
gestion, and she had neither the money
the pecple to make her saggeation a fact;
and yet what it would mean if in every ten-
ement -house region a large room, with good
circulation, could be opened, where these
mothers could came and receive that which
they are all ready to receive -teaching that
would make their home life more attractive,
more healthful, more helpful!
That seine day, while the sunshine was
still brilliant, and the flowers had not lost
their morning freshness, old granny came
up the hill alone. She sat down on the
stone foundation of the iron fence, turning
herself sideways, and, holding on to the iron
railing, resting her old head on her hand,she
gazed out an the river. A ship passed
slowly before her ; picking up a corner of
the checked apron, granny wiped the tears
away. It was only a coaster, but to granny
that, day all ships were bound for "home"
What an education comes from living
in a corner hones when the cor-
ner haus a is lectted between the two
halves! One learns that the human heart is
under every garb; that home has a signifi-
cance even to the drunkard, for he some-
times sits on the corner and his wife comes
to take him "home," and it is this magic
word that moves him. The boys and girls,
after the'clay's work is over, congregato on
the corner. There is no place else for them;
the homes are hot and tco crowded, and af-
ter their jeats and their dancing one hears,
" It's time to go home," and slowly, one af-
ter another, they theeppear. Oh, if we
eoulcl only work to make homes that would
send them out, not for pIcaeure,but to carry
helpfulnees to someone else! Is the day
coming when we shall alt rouse to this, that
every home is the centre of our Nation ?-

Treatment of Colds.
A few- practical hints in relation to
"colds " are offered by the Healthy Home.
The sufferer should rest in the first place.
He should remain at home two or three
day, and a little longer if poesible. Give
the muscular and nervous system complete
rest. The simple home remedies, such as
hot lemonade, hot teas and other drinks,
will be sufficient in most cases. All persons
shoald protect their bodies carefully. Do
not be brave in any form of carelessness. A
may come from a wet foot, an ex-
posed chest, a bared head or a sudden cool-
ing of any portioa of the body's surface.

Oysters on Tree .
Th a other day I heard someb dy speak of
" oyeters, hanging upon the branches of
trees, on ,the borders' of the Chesapeake
Bayi:
" hat sounda like a fairy tal ," thought
I to myself.
, I determined to investigate. So I said:
"1 ilways supposed oysters grew under

" hesapeake Bay has the fin st kind of
oysters," raid the talking man. 1 The reason
they ere sometimes found growi g on tree
branahes is this. The spawn of the oyster
floats! about in the water, teased by wind
and raves. It has the quality of attach-
ing Itself firmly to any solid substance it
touches. Sometimes it might b the bottom
of a ehip, a rock, or a tree b anch. You
know the bottom of a ship often needs
scraping on account of the shell -fish adher-
ing to it.
Now the branches of trees often droop
into the water. They do it alo g the bor-
ders of the Cheeapeake the stm as on the
bauks of another river or bay. t high tide
such branches will be covered, ith water,
and when the tide goes back, t e branches
come to the surface again.
" The spawn eticks on t ose boughs
when they are beneath the wav s. In a few
deter the tiny oysters are 'gro ing all over
it.
" eometimes a branch which is often
under water will be nearly overed with
amall oysters. It looks very o d of course,
but its a common enough sight down
there.
" Grow? They don't grow v ry large, to

must be always under wate and these
hang half the time out of it. When they
are exposed too long in the h t sun, they
die. 1Their weight often can es them to

"Itittle oysters are sometime transplant-
ed. l's,Tot off tree branches, but frem the
beds at the bottom of the bay. They are
planted in oyster beds in other places,
where, in a •couple of years, they grow to

"I it sounds funny to talk of picking
oyeitees off trees," said 1 "or even of seeing
them grow there."
"IPunny enougle But the do grow
there. I've seen it lots of time," 'mid the
talkieg man. "That's the 31, way queer
stories get 'about. Somebod hears of a
thing and doesn't underetan4 the sense of

Thoughts by the Way.
" Character.building, for you Who have
the active work of life largely before you,•
is your most imminent duty, and maybe
your !nest blessed privilege; and character -
building ought to be temple -building -the
framing and perfecting of a sanctuary for
the indwelling God -a sanctuary in whose
firm foundation, massive walls, fair propor-
tions, and rich adornings there thould be
blended strength and beauty."
"1 wohld sae/ so to you, young men, who,9
I trust, have bard and good and faithful !
work before you in your several callings. 9
Make yoerselves a3 strong as God will lot
you be. Yet forget not that the_strength of
man, when ! -exercised only for itt own sake,
has no more of dignity or preciousness than
that of the ox, horte, or dog -that it is
worth a man's possessing only when it pours
its vigor into the extensor muscles of the in-
tellect, of the will, of the affections kind and
devout, of the body that is spiritual, ewer-
ruptible, and eternal." -
"Is God dealing- with you? Da not do as
Paul did, even. Do not pray thrice that the
suffering may be removed. Do not ask to
have the pain taken away. Say, 'Lord,
teach me to use my suffering for thy glory.
Teach me patience. Teach me faith. Teach
MC how to see what I never should have
seen but for these trials. Bring me nearer
home. Make me more, inwardly, than I
have been, -and I care not for the outward
experience;' Full blessed are they that are
called, and that have this! sign: Whom the
Lord lovetb, he chasteneth, and scourgeth
every son when) he receiveth. If you do
not suffer in any of the forms of affliction
which are incident to the divine economy in
this world, God says that you are not sons."
Regularity of Habit.
One of the most 'difficultof all minor
habits to acquire, seye an able writer, is
that of regularity. It ranks with that of
order. The natural inclination of most per-
sons is to defer until the last possible mo-
ment, or put it off to another time, where
this can possibly be done. Yet habits of
regularity contribute largely to the ease and
comfort of life. A person can multiply his
efficiency by it. We know persons who
have a multitude of duties, and who perform
a vast deal of work daily, who sat apart cer-
tain hours for given duties'and are there at
the moment and attend rightly to what is in
hand. This done, and other engagements
aro met, each in order, and a vast deal ac-
complished, not by strained exertion, but
by regularity.
The mind can be so trained to this that
at certain hours of the day it will turn to
a particular line of duty, and at other hours
to other and different labors. The very
diversity is restful when attended to in reg-
ular order. But let these run together, and
the duties mix, and what before was easy is
now annoying and oppressive, and the exact
differenee between many is at this point.
There are those who confuse and rush, and
attempt to do several things at once, and
accomplish little, while another will quietly
proceed from one duty to another, and easily
accomplish a vast amount of work. The
difference is not in the capacity of the two,
bat in the regular methods of the one as
compared with the irregular and confused
habits of the other. -Scientific American.
How Old is the Potato?
The potato was introduced into Europe
from the western hemisphe:e. History has
it that Christopher Columbus was the first
European who ever tasted a potato. It is
doubtful if he ever enjoyed eating our
favorite tuber. At all events, the vegetable
that he ate at Cuba, in 1492, and brought
home to Genoa, was a sweet potato. The
firat potato grown east of the Atlantic ocean
was planted by Claudius, in the botanical
gardens of Vienna in 1588. As is well
known, Sir Walter Raleigh found the potato
in Virginia'and took specimens back to
England. The original home of the popular
tuber is Chili. It was brought north by the
Spaniards.
For mealy years the potato in England
was looked upon as being poisonous and un-
wholesome. This, perhaps, is not to be
wondered at, as it was commonly eaten raw,
the method of cooking it not being known.
Gradually its usefulness as a palatable
vegetable became known. A committee of
the royal society urged, in 1652, that all the
fellows who poseessed land should "plant
potatoes and persuade their friends to do
the same, in order to alleviate the distress
that would accompany a scarcity of food."
In 1738 the first field of potatoes was planted
in the low lands of Scotland.
As soon as the people of Ireland knew
how to cook the potato it quickly became
the one leading vegetable of the land. Its
cheapness of cultivation'large yields and
nutritive qualities made it become immensely
popular, and as it was the chief article of
food, it ere long obtained its present com-
mon name -Irish potato. It is not only of
value as a food plant. The Irish were the
first to discover that whisky could be made
from it. Starch is made from it for the
laundry and for the manufacture of farina.
The dried pulp from which the starch has
been extracted is need for making boxes.
From the stem and leaves a narcotic is ex-
tracted. In some places cakes and puddings
are made from the potato flour,
He Had to Speak.
" Laura," said George, with an erager,rest-
less yearning in his gaze, "may I ask a favor
of you, dear?"
They had sat in the darkened parlor for
hours, in the eloquent communion of soul
with soul that needs no articulate sound to
give it language. •
But something impelled George to speak.
The longing that surged up from his very
heart must find expression in words. There-
fore he had spoken;
"What is it, George?" she whispered.
"It may involve some sacrifice, darling.
But, believe me Laura, it's for the best !"
"What is it, George ?" she repeated, in a
voice that trembled as with a vague forebod-
ing of coming disaster. -
"You will believe me, dearest," he said,
with an agitation beeomitig every moment
more uncontrollable "when I say that I am
driven to ask it by uncontrollable,
over which
I have no control, that I have pondered
long ever it and am not acting from hasty
impulse ?"
"Yea ! yes!" the beautiful young girl ex-
claimed with quivering lips. "What is it
you ask, George? What is it ?"
" Darling," be said, aed the wild, implor-
ing look in his face thrilled her to the inmost
depths of her being, "1 wish you would sit
on the other knee a while. This one is get-
ting horribly tired!"
Color Words.
Many fashionable styles and colors have
been named for famous individuals. Some
persons remember the Wellington and the
Blutcher bootrenarned for the heroes of Wat-
erloo, and the "Suvarrotvs," called after the
agreat Russian general. 9
A dingy shade called " Isabella" was for-
merly much admired. It came into notice
Children Cry for
early in the seventeenth century, and owes
its name to tho readineei with which a court
adopts the caprices of a sovereign. Its
origin was due to one of those fantastic vows
so common in the middle agee,and not yet en-
tirely given up by enthusiastic devotees of the
Roman • church. The city of Oetend, in
Flandere, was besieged by the Spaniards,and
resisted long and bravely. The Arch-ducheas
of Austria, Isabella, woe a princess of Span-
ish birth, daughter of Philip II, and a great-
granddaughter of Isabella of Castile, the
patroness of Columbus, She besieged Heaven
with prayers for the victory of her country's
arms, and in her enthusiasm made a vow
that "she would never Orange her linen till
Ostend had fallen." The rumor of the royal
vow spread among the courtly and the de-
vout, and by the time Ostend bad capitulat-
ed, which was net till (1603) after a three
year'a siege, the " Isibelle" had beccano a
fashionable color, and it long retained its
rank- 1
The beautiful shade -celled " Mazarine
blue" has la name of historic assiciation. In
his youthful . daye of poverty and exile,
Charles If, of Eugland, had leved and ivoosd
Hortensia Mancini, one of a family of three
Motets fareous for their beauty, nieses of
Cardinal Mazarin, prime minister of Franco.
But the offer of a monarch "out of bueinees"
did not fir0 favor with the prudent guardian.
After Charles had regained-hia kingrlem, the
Cerdinal would gladly have feriearded the
match, anti made his niece queen of Great
Britain. But he inanoeuvred in vain. It
was now Charles' turn to consider worldly
interests, and he might have answered in the
words of Themistocles to the repentant corn-
pa,nion of tis youth, -seeking ' the renewal of
an old intinmey, "Friend, we hive both
grown wiser, but too late." Hortensia be-
came Duchess of M.azarin, her husband hav-
ing taken the name and; tit la of Mazarin • on
their marriage. She afterward fixed her
abode in England. She was an acknowledged
leader of feshion, and her favorite shade of
blue receieed the name of "Maurine."
The " Steinkirk" cravat s were named from
the battleof that natne, fought in 1692. It
is said tha one of the French princes, dress-
ing in haste, tied his lace cravat carehelly
round his throat, leaving the long ends
loosely flowing. The style directly became
faehionable, and, singularly enough, was
adopted by the conquered English as well a,
by the vic °Heusi French.
