Two mules were at play in a pasture

The number of white female convicts

central prison, the others on the farms
as cooks and washwomen.
The State Treasurer reportsT that

gro was on the wagon with Mr. Rouse
at the time.
The Value of Independence.
~A poor estimate is placed upon our
powers when we are always dependent
on somebody. It is not meant to say
thet we can be independent of God, from
whom our every blessing comes.
But there are some people"many
people"who are ever afraid to turn
loose and paddle their own canoe. Con-
tidence in oneTs self is a thing , to be de-
sited by all people. Even the idiot does
not hesitate to do something to show
liis independence, even though his work
is, dynein a way different from what
others would do it.
"Chis spirit of dependence is the result
of faulty training of the child, . ItTs the
childTs nature to walk, and nature must
be heeded. . No parent ought to make
u slave of himselt or herself in order to
give the children an easy time.
Let the children learn to be indepen-
dent, Scatter them, if necessary ;
break up the indulgences, and give
them to know that what they haye they
must earn. ~The best men and women
are those who are raised to work,
manT a bright. boy bag made a, lazy
tramp simply because he was always
looking tor favors and never learned
that the road to wealth lies in honest
toil."-Orphans Friend,

That Blue-Gray Parade.
peta meant
General Ivan N. Walker, com-
mander-in-chief of the Grana
Army of the Republic, has vetoed
the proposed Gray-Blue parade
in New York city, on the Fourth
of July. General Walker has two
weighty reasons, either of which
is sufficient. The first 18 that it
will be too hot.to tramp the streets
of New York an the Fonrth of
July. The ~secondT ~is that * he
seorns tofmarch with the men who
fought: for-a-cause that. was-oshot

say-that. either-of these..reasons
is sufficient. If itis tea hot /to
parade, andT you donTt ike: the
fellow you are asked to parade
with, and donTt want to parade,
anyhow, why should you parade ?
These are knock-down objections,
and we donTt see how they can ~be
overcome. There are some rea-
sons in favor of the parade scheme
of course, For instance, jt would
give a large nuntber of Gebérgl
WalkerTs pensicned veterans -b
chance to see forthe first time a
real live rebelT with rebel clothes
on. The sight. would probably
make their wounds bleed afresh,
and give them aiclaim for more
pension money. But this consid.
eration is as'dust in the balance
es
against the reasons set ont by |
Ivan N. Walkery of the Grand
Army of the Repnblic.. Walker
doesnTt want to parade,and he will
not parade, and there can be on
parade without Walker.
We are well content to have
Walker interpose his veto, and
the ex-Confederates will no doubt
sustain at» Bhey will not be very.

A story is told of a bright
yOung §American and _ seyeral
German officers who, at a dinner
one evening, set out to make him
m ble by; chafing him
man.is Albert H. Washburn, . the.
United States consular agent at
Magdeburg. Henry F. Merritt,
the consul at Chennitz, was the
first one of the Americans to be
attacked with a taunt from one of
the Germans that he could not
give the names of the Presidents
of the United States. Meritt
named them over with some deli-
beration, and drew from his Ger-
man friend the declaration that
he did not believe there was an-
vgT American present who could
O it. |
Young Washburn had said
nothing until now, but he broke
in and dec'ared: oI can do tt,
and will give you the vice pres- |. ee
idents.� He was about to begin,
when a second thought struck
him, and he said: oWhile I am
about it I might as. well give you
the Secretaries of State, too.�
The Germans got down a book
giving the names, and kept tab
on the young man as he correctly
went through the list.
pretty well backed down already,
but Washburn had no idea of let-
ting them off so easily. oNow, I
should like to know,� he said,
owhether any of you can give the
names ofthe Prussian rulers from
the time of Charlemagne and
his sons down. to the Emperor
William ?� ae ; |
Not one of them could go. half
through the list, and they were
on the point of apologizing to
the young Massachussets scholar
more by modestly suggesting,
oPerhaps I had better do it for
you.� He began with Charle-
magne and went through the list
withouta break, much to the -as-
tonishment of his German hosts
wards and the other Americans,
oHow did. you. do it?� asked
Merritt. oOh, my father had a
taste for such things andT taught
them to me when I was a boy,

A Bit of Unneeded Advice.
It would be a good idea for mothers-
in-law, to let their daughters-in-law
alone where domestic matters are con-
cerned, unless their advice is asked.
This sounds harsh, but it is.meant to
~be sensible. The husbandTs mother, as
a rule, is too fussy about her son. Of
course, it is difficult for her to realize
that another woman and a comparative
stranger, can know as much about omy
boy� as his mother does, but itTs very
often true.
So that cheery and wide-awake moth-
er-in-law who comes in smiling, makes
no suggestions, offers no criticisms,
tliinks everything splendid"or says she
@oes"and isnTt full of tiresome rem-
iniscences of ohow she used to do,� is
likely to be the power behind the throne
if she covets that position."Philadel-
phia American. ~4
A Wonderful Light.
oThat's a wonderful light. that for-

Do Well to Note. _
There is little change to rec
table linen, except that the p
ored lunch cloths are no longer in
and Iam sorry. They were much
more cheerful than the small square
oflinen in the center of a bare oak table
now preferred. The colored cloths now
serve as a cover when the table eee
use. There are very pretty ones, in
dcitt blue and white; and another dain-
ty pattern shown is on pale 9 . na
silver. "
~ If you wish pie-crust to be very nice,
fold it, lay it on a plate, and stand in
the refrigerator over night. This will
improve a good plain paste so that it
is almost as flaky as a puff paste. In
sealing a pie moisten the inside, but not
on, the edge, with a pastry-brush dipped
in water or the white of'an egg. Put
the ~upper crust in place and press the
ther with the thumb dipped
exact edge, or the pastry will not rise.

__A great mapy women in this world

the cook to correct these difficulties.
She will overcome the first fault by
placing the grating of a pan under the
baking dish, and the other by cover-
ing the cake or loaf witha pan or paper
until the bottom is done, A plain piece
of manilla paper laid over the top of
a cake will insure thorough, even bak.

the top would become scorched long be-

A New Way of Getting Rid of a Bill Col-
~ - leetor.
The death of Tom, Hannum, one tine
a well-known habitue of the press gal-
leries on both sides of the capitol, was
sincerely deplored among the old-
timers the other day, and some amus-
ing anecdotes were told of the popular
newspaper man by his friends in the
course of the day. Qne of the best is
yorth repeating.
~ Héhnum was in the habit of taking
a Jate break fast at the Press club every
morning. On one occasion, while he
was vigorously discussing 4 hearty re-
past of ham and eggs, a bill collector
suddenly walked up to HannumTs side,
and laid his aceount before hit. Han-
yum looked at the bill and then at the
collector, and in a deliberate tone be-
gan:
-oYou blamed fool, canTt you observe
the amenities of ordinary civilized s0-
ciety. DonTt you know that a manTs
club is like his home, and that you ave

whom you haveT buginess.is -present:
Now, you go out into-the lobby"take

The collector apologized for the in-
fraction of the rules of the Press club,
which, to tell the truth, were never en-
forced on anything, and waited untii

of hair from every new osteady� and
has collected an elaborate array during
the ten years he has been in the market.
The color of the hair in his collection
~varies from a bright red to a coal-
black, He has over 60 specimens, which
shows that he has averaged @ new
osteady� every two months during the
time he has been gathering his collec-
tion, Some of his specimens have
faded badly, showing that the haid had
been dyed. One specimen has changed
from a deep black to red and gray. He
prizes his collection very highly and
keeps it locked up for fear some one
will steal it. Whenever he sees a girl!
with a shade of hair which is different
from anything he has in his collection
he immediately goes after her and she
becomes his osteady� until he gets a
lock of her hair. Then he goes after
another girl with a new shade of hair.
He has heard of girls who had blue
hair and is now looking for one. He
claims to have seen a girl with a lit-
tle blue mustache, but was afraid to
ask for a specimen."Atchison Globe.
