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 one’s 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, . It’s the child’s 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.

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 ‘second’ ‘is that * he seorns tofmarch with the men who fought: for-a-cause that. was-“shot to death” some years ago. We say-that. either-of these..reasons is sufficient. If itis tea hot /to parade, and’ you don’t ike: the fellow you are asked to parade with, and don’t want to parade, anyhow, why should you parade ? These are knock-down objections, and we don’t 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 Walker’s pensicned veterans -b chance to see forthe first time a real live rebel’ 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 doesn’t 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. ek as to ingle reasons, for ey Dayve.reasons of their..own, ae as wand te “Walker's. They wouldn’t object in vthe least to alking down Broadway with.old ‘Union soldiers in pleasant weath- er, if 1b were convenient and there more eaed. reasons for it.

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- vg’ American present who could O it. | Young Washburn had said nothing until now, but he broke in and dec'ared: “I 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: “While 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. “Now, I should like to know,” he said, “whether 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, “Perhaps 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, “How did. you. do it?” asked Merritt. “Oh, my father had a taste for such things and’ taught them to me when I was a boy, and you see, thoy are sometimes useful to know,” he repiied.— Kansas City Star. a) 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 husband’s 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 “my boy” as his mother does, but it’s 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 isn’t full of tiresome rem- iniscences of “how 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. “That's a wonderful light. that for- eign scientist. has » discovered,” . said Hicks. “It’s so strong that if you let it shine through a pocketbook a camera will make a picture of money in it.” - “Jove!” said Wilbur, : “I'd like to have some of that, Ifit could make a picture of money in my pocketbook I’d have an casier time with my creditors,” -"%-~.

If a recipe calls for more aa they happen to have they make ‘pitup with water; if they do net happen 40, have the herbs and seasonings for the turkey stuffing, they do not bother to st. leave them out. They. eut down the gmount of butter that a reelpe calls it beeduse butter is expensive; and tl:e sult of these little economies .and lessnesses is that the food is flavor- 8S, spiritiess and wearisome to the alate. Keally, they waste a good deal ‘Because the food, not being especially good, is not all eaten, and some must be thrown away. Generally, economy is excellent, but not economy of that . |.kind. When particular baking is receiving -| attention and several unfamiliar dishes | are being manufactured, it is of special ‘importance to have the oven in per- fect condition, and as far as possible wife, are tricky sometimes, and bear watching. Nearly each one ‘has its pet peculiarity. A tendency to burh at the | bottom, or a habit of scorching’ at the top, while the lower part remains raw and sodden, Familiarity will enab'e 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. ing, when without this arrangement the top would become scorched long be- fore the cake was baked through.—Chi- cago Inter Ocean. NOT AT HOME. 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 Hannum’s 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: -“You blamed fool, can’t you observe the amenities of ordinary civilized s0- ciety. Don’t you know that a man’s club is like his home, and that you ave in danger of being summarily ejected fer coming‘in her without a card of | Membership and without being intro- ‘laced? The rules of this club require that if you have business with a mem- Lér you wait in the lobby outside until a waiter takes in your card and ascer- oe ‘| tains whether the gentleman with whom you have’ buginess.is -present: Now, you go out into-the lobby—take | this bill with you—and. comply ‘with the rules of this club,” 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 the steward came to ascertain his wishes. who looked at it carefully, then handed | it’ back to io ateward, and said: “Not [+ ome a n flour. ‘Press together, but not on the | O° or aend to the grocer’s for. them— | under the.control of the cook.

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 “steady” 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 “steady” 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. r ‘The Old Man’s Joke. —.. “Jane,” said her father, “I thought young man—". “Why, pa, who says he isstingy?” “Oh, nobody says so; only I could see that he was a little ‘near’ as I passed through the room.” — Boston ‘Tran- script.
