Before you went to selling clothes and I to peddling

As ever worried home folks with their everlasting

Egad if we were so disposed, I'll venture we could

ago ;
What wallopings I mean I think I need not specify.

We used to sneak off swimmin' in those careless,
boyish days,
And come back home of evenings with our necks
and backs ablaze:
How mother used to wonder why our clothes were
full of sand!
But father, having been a boy, appeared to under-
stand.
And, after tea, he'd beekon us ti jein him in the

Where he'd proceed to tinge our backs a deeper,
darker red;

UFE.
At Rehm With His Dogs, His Guests aad
His Family.
But let me tell you something about his
habits here at Friedricharuhe. They are
singularly simple now, _considering the
greatness of his past. He takes more care
of himself, I am told, as lie grows older and
sleeps later in the morning. Ills rising
hour is between 9.30 and 10 o'clock, and he
has a cup of strong black coife.e, some rolls
and eggs when he gets up, He reads the
morning papers as he eats and afterwards
looks over such of his mail as his private
secretary has ready for him. His second
breakfast is taken about 1L30 and this
usually consists of a, small steak or a chop,
with a bottle of light Rhine wine., After this
breakfast at about 12.30 he starts out
for a walk and he spends a half an
hour in wandering or rather strolling
about hisostate. During this walk he often
drops in at the restaurant and drinks a, glass
of beer, and sometimes, so I was told at the
restaurant, takes a second glass lin his hand
and carries it home with him. In his walks
and, at all times in fact, he is accompanied
by his dogs. These are two large Danish
hounds, so tall that they would reach to the
*height of the waist of an ordinary man.
They are very dark iron gray in color and
they were with him at the feast yesterday.
Sitting at his feet under the table and
going- with him, one: on each side of
him, whenever he walked about the
grounds. One of these dogs is named
Rebecca and the other answers to Tyrus,
and this was I am told a present from the
present Emperor to Bismarck. Both are
beautiful animals and they are remarkable
for their devotion to their master. They
are splendid watch dogs and the man who
would dare to touch Bismarck in their pre-
sence would be drawn down in ah instant
and most probably killed. They are with
him, as I have said, all the time; They
sleep in his room at night, sit beside him in
his study as he works and goes with him
whether he goes abroad either on foot or in
h•is carriage.
After finishing his walk Prince Bismarck
returns to his study and takes up his work
for the day. I asked his private secretary
as to his book of memoirs, which he is said
to be preparing, but could get no informa-
tion concerning them. There seems to be
no doubt, however, but that he is putting
this matter in hand as fast as he. can, and
though he may net dictate the matter or
write it himself, it will be in good shape for
his biographer and will contain a wonderful
amount of unwritten history. Prince Bis-
marck's private letters and papers show that
he is a most entertaining writer, and his
collection of letters must be one of the
largest and most valuable of any in the
world to -day.
During a part of his working hours
Prince Bismarck smokes. He likes a pipe
and smokes a medium grade of tobacco. He
finishes his work at about 4 o'clock 8,nd then
_goes out for a drive of several hours, when
-he returns at about 6.30 for dinner. His
dinner is at 7 p.m., and there are usually a
number of guests present. The Prince is
noted for his hospitality and also for his
table. He has a good cook and his larder
is supplied from his various estates, by his
friends and by the markets of Hamburg and
Berlin. His game comes almost altogether
from his own estates and such deer as he
uses must always be of a certain age and
there is no such thing at Friedrichsruhe as
a leather steak or tough venison. The meals
are, of course, served after the European
table d'hote fashion and all of the dinners
are full-dress affairs.—Frank G. Carpenter.
For mother WU by nature so forgiving and so mild
That she inclined to spare the rod although she
spoiled the child ;
And when at last in self-defenee she had to whip us,
she
Appeared to feel those whippings a great deal mere
than we !
But how we bellowed and took on, as if we'd like to
die—
Poor mother really thougnt she hurt, and that's what
made her ory !
Then how we youngsters snickered as out the door
we slid,
For mother's whippings never hurt, though father's
al ways did.
In after years poor father shrivelled down ts five
feet tour,
But in our youth he seemed to us in height sight
feet or more I
Oh, how we shivered when he quoth in cold, sug-
gestive tone;
"I'll see you in the woodshed after supper all
alone !"
Oh, how the legs and arms and dust and trouser but-
tons flew,
What florid vocalisms marked that—vesper inter-
view!
Yes, after all this lapse of years, I feelingly assert,
With all respect to mother, it was father's whippings
hurt .
The little boy experiencing that tingling 'neath his
vest
le often loth to realize that all is for the beet ;
Yet, when the boy gets older, he pictures with de-
light
The buffetings of childhood, as we do here to -night.
The years, the gracious years, have smoothed and
beautified the ways
That to our little feet seemed all too rugged in the
days
Before you went to selling clothes s.nd I to peddling
rhymes;
So, Harvey, let us sit awhile and think upon these
times.
—Eugene Field.
Money
or a Living?
"To make money is one thing; to make
a living is a better," says Edward Everett
Bale at the close of his paper in The Cos-
mopolitan entitled, "Making a Living."
It is a sort of sketch story, and is a charm-
ing bit of what one might call realistic
fiction. For fiction it is in one sense, and
realism it certainly is in another.
Mr. Hale supposes the case of a couple
that had to show for seventeen years of
married life six children and an income from
their savings of $400 a year. The older
children were fifteen and thirteen years,
with their clothes becoming more expensive
and their appetites at the maximum. The
father earned 111,000 a year as a book-keeper,
the mother economized a little more every
year, with the result that both lost their
vim and elasticity of !spirits, both were
growing year by year more anxious and
careworn, so that the cheerful air each in-
variably wore in the other's presence be-
came more and more "manufactured sun-
shine."
At last, at the end of the seventeenth
year, the two heads held a family council
and decided at one stroke to win or lose
all. He would resign his book-keeper'e
place, they would rent one of the little
abandoned farms in New England and see if
they could make the children count in the
struggle for a living, and do better for the
children at the same time. How they came
ont we are to be told in the future. Dr.
Hale says the plan they chose is not what
some foolish people suppose it to be—a
panacea. Of all the masses of struggling
humanity that are driven to the wall in
cities, it is his opinion that going to the
country and farming would be advantageous
to about two in a hundred. That is prob-
ably a very fair average. The first thing
generally that city people who go on a farm
to better themselves and country people who
go to the city for a like purpose do is to
break themselves financially. They may or
may not succeed finally, according as they
have perseverance and capacity for leerning
new things.
But one argument Dr. Hale brings for-
ward for sending his fictitious family into
the country to make a living is that some of
the very States which are supposed to con-
tain the largest number of abandoned farms
are the onea increasing moet rapidly in
population, and that this increase is in the
agricultural distriots. Dr. Hede tells the
truth, toe, only he does not mention that
the reason of it is thet general farming has
been largely abandoned, and fruit, dairy and
vegetable farming has taken its place. By
means of these a living, and a very happy
one, can be made in New England.
atram to enter -one or thorn. It was in 10,
and I was travelling for a house in Provi-
dence. In a large office bueling in that
city, which was being built by a friend of
mine, there were two elevator -shafts, and in
them were placed the finest elevators that
had been manufactured up to that time •
With 1 he elevators.was an air -cushion de-
vice whieh was newly patent,.:(1 and which
had never been tried. One day my friend
asked me if -I wanted to take a fast trip in
one of the -elevators. I was game for any•
thing those dayS, alid I said that , 1
wouldn't mind.. - The man who invented
the air -cushion Was ping to give a prac-
tical demonstration of its value, and had
one of the elevator -cars hauled up to the top
of that thirteen storey building. He pro-
posed to get in the car and n
let it drop, ad
he wanted some one to go down with him.
The car had been dropped two or three
times with nobody in it, and the cushions
had worked beautifully. That afternoon
the final test was to be made. The invent-
or, two reporters and myself were to go down
with the car. I had given inyipromase that
I would make .the trip, and tiltliough I
would have given all that I possessed to
stay out of the car after I found what was
expected of me, I screwed my courage up to
the .sticking point rather than be laughed
at, and when the. inventor said that every-
thing was' ready, I got in. The door was
locked a moment after I entered, and when
I saw that there was no escape,: I forced up
t'
a sickly sort of - a grin and looked around.
I was so scared that my legs shook under
me, and -the reporters were in exactly the
same physical condition. . The inventor put-
tered around fixing everything in shipshape,
and we sat on the seat and 'trembled in
unison.
"Finally, everything was ready, and the
inventor, gave the word. The rope that
held the oar was out, and the trip began.
It is utterly impossible to describe the hor-
rible sensation that I felt when that ear shot
downwards. My head swain, and black and
red spots danced before my eyes. The
swiftness with which it fell was incredible.
It actually fell So fast that our bodies could
not keep up with it, and we rose from; the
floor as if going in the opposite direction. I
was faint and sick with fear. The inventor
was calm, though very pale..
"The trip took but a few 'seconds, and
every foot that we fell the car seemed to in-
crease its momentum. But by: degrees its
speed slackened, and finally it stopped at
the bottom of the shaft, AO slowly and easily
that the water in a glass • that sat • on the
floor of the car was not disturbed or rippled.
We got out hurriedly, andthe cushion was
pronounced a success. Now, when I at-
tempt o get in an elevator, that , feeling of
dread omes over Inc. Therefore I always
walk."1—Buffalo Express.

Good For Fits.
For a fit of passion, walk out in the open
air; you may speak your mind to the winds
without hurting anyone or proclaiming your- '
self a simpleton.
For a fit of idlenes-s, count the ticking of
a clock; 'do this for one hour, and you will
be glad to pull off your coat the next and
work like a beaver.
For a fit of extravagance and folly-; go to
the wOrkhouse, or speak to the inmates df a
gaol, and you will ,be convinced.
For a fit of ambitiOn, go to the church-
yard and read the gravestones; thag will
tell you the end of ambition, The grave
will soon be your bed -chamber, and the
earth Your pillow; corruption' your father,
and the worm your mother and sister.
Forla fit of despondency look on the good
thing God has given you in this world, and
to those,he has promised to his followers in
the next. He who goes into the, garden to
look for cobwebs and spiders no'doubt will
find them; while he who looks for a flower
may return into his house with one bloom-
ing in his bosom.
For all fits of doubt, perplexity, and fear,
whether they concern the body or the mind,
whether they are a load to the shoulders,
the head or the heart, the following cure
may be relied on, for I lied it from the
Great +Physician : "Cast thy burden upon
the Ldrd, and He shall sustain thee."
A 'View of the Saloon.
The saloon is the poor man's club, and
flourishes most .vigorously in the poorest
sections of the city. Instead. of denounc-
ing the saloon on account of the numerous
evils it inflicts on the poor, something better
must be supplied to take its place. "Verne
is the sacred refuge of our life," but not-
withstanding all that poets have sung and
moralists have spoken, many workingmen
are perfectly convinced that tws dark bed-
rooms and a kitchen is not an attractive
place in which to spend a pleasant evening
with a friend. The saloon is the only sub-
stitute. When Orpheus passed by the cave
of the siren he took his lyre and made such
wondrous melody that sailors, enraptured
by the music spurned the seductive strains
that wafted from the dangerous cave. The
fable has its application—give the working-
men something they will like as well as the
saloon and you will strike at the root of the
-evil.
There are excellent places, like Cooper
Union and the Young Men's Institute ; but
these institutions cannot expect to draw
those who live one or two miles away in
another part of the city. If the working-
men are fully alive to the advantages afford-
ed them they. would undoubtedly be willing
to walk a long distance, but the majority of
them have no ambition to improve them-
selves. They spend their evenings in
saloons because they are always within easy
reach and form ogreeable meeting -places.
It is absurd to denounce the saloon in un-
qualified terms. The multitudes who pat-
ronize them are not all absolute fools. Many
simply seek to satisfy the craving after fel-
lowship which the Creator has implanted in
their natures. The saloons are well -lighted,
conveniently -located social clubs, provided
in some cases with a pleasant reading room,
and always with obliging proprietors. Wise
men are beginning to see that a subetitute
must be supplied to take the place of the
saloon, which shall retain all its good fea-
tures and simply discard its evil elements.

Why She Hesitated.
Say you will be mine !" he pleaded.
But she hesitated.
"A:su have been very kind to me," she
said.
" And I swear to devote the balance of
my life to you," he protested.
"Your devotion has always been marked,"
she assented. "1 admit thet you have paid
every' possible attention. You t discovered
my favorite flower and kept nie supplied
with them all last winter. It was very
thoughtful of yon."
"jt was my love—"
"And bon bons, Gorge. You seldom let
me be without them. It must have taken a
great deal of your salary to—"
"Pray don't speak ot salary, Lucella.
How can one think of money when trying
to anticipate your wishes? It was and is
my greatest pleasure."
"You have seemed to think that I was
too fairy-like to walk anywhere, no matter
how short the distance," she went on.
A carriage, dearest—you'll let me call
you dearest—a carriage is a small matter
when one enjoys your company. How could
I ask you to walk when I knew you pre-
ferred to drive ?"
"1 appreciate it all, George," she said;
"1 appreciate it fully. And I like you,
George. I—I—perhaps I could truthfully
say 1—But I can't marry you. I have
thought the natter over calmly and I feel
that I could not be happy with you.
"Why not?" he asked anxiously.
" You are too extravagant."

What 'Alarming Knew About Barilla.
Manning's logic •was always fortified by
that i'readiness to assume onmiseience'
which:is so useful in the ecclesiastical car-
eer, aaId by a gracious Providence so lavish-
ly bestowed. There was once a debate in
Parliament about the "barilla duty" --and,
as the terni was little known, an admirer
of Mathling went to him for an explanation.
"Dear me," replied Manning, "not know
what barilla means ? I will explain it.
You see, in commerce, there are two meth-
ods Of proceedings. At One time you
load y9ur ship with a particular commodity,
such 4,s tea, wine, or tobacco ; at another
-
time select a variety of articles suit-
able til) the port of destination. • And in the
langudge of trade we describe this latter
operation as a barilla."
Manning did not speak the language of
trade, i because he was assuming more
knowliedge them he possessed .; but for that
reason he already spoke the language of
papal histories and cateehiS1113. The engnirer
about! "barilla" soon found out that it
meant an alkali obtained from the ashes of
a Spanish vegetable. "Splendide menda,x"
he may have thought when lie learned the
truth,i:"and his faith in _Manning's infalli-
bility twas no longer the same."—The Aca-

It was a hopeful day for the devil when
he saw the cook -stove go into the church.
The devil doesn't know just what to
make of the man who is religious with his
money.
God calls some men to preach the gospel,
but he calls everybody else to help to pay
the preacher.
It is never hard to do the right thing.
It is in deciding to do it that the tug
conies.
When God says, "Be reconcilell with thy
brother," he means for you to do it before
sundown.
The higher a man gets up in spiritual life
the lower he is willing to go down to help
others. ,
You can tell generally about how mach
people love the Lord by the kind of com-
pany they keep.
Perhaps all men cannot be successful, but
every one can make up his mind that he
will deserve to be.—Ram's Hem.
A NataraI Subject of Speculation.
A shrewd -looking old man stood in front
of one of the leading jewellers, gazing •at a
queer -looking clock. One of the affable
clerks was standing in the doorway.
"That's an all -fired funny clock." said
the old man. "What do you call it ?.,
"That's a spring lever chronometer," re-
plied the clerk, "It will run for 400 days
wi theutwinding."
"So? That's a long time. But say,
how long do you s'pose it would run if you
should wind it up once ?"

underla veil of tulle, be followed -by a pro-
cession' of young girls and have little boys
for ushers if she so wills, lint the widow of
twenty must remember that she is a woman
of experience.
No white gown or veil for her, no brides-
maids and no ushers unless they be marriejt
men.

tario "1 have suffered from dyspepsia for
five years and during that time was hardly
ever ifree from pain, depression of spirits,
despcindency, fretfulness, aversion for exer-
ticn of any kind, gradual loss of flesh, good
appetite but unable to satisfy it owing to
the pain by so doing, these are some of the
symptoms. About two months ago I was
induced to try your remedy K. D. C. and
was eurprised at the results. After the
second dose, I felt greatly relieved, and am
now Cured. I had tried several remedies
previous to this without effect and felt
when taking K. D. C. that it was only an
experiment and would prove uselees like
the rest, but am more than pleased with the
results."
