Til C Poor Man and the Rich Man In olden times, when the good angels walked the earth in the form of men, it haDDened that one of them, while he was wanuering aooui Very tired, saw night coming upon him before he had found a shelter. But there stood on the road close by two houses another, one of which jopposite to one was large ana handsome, while the other appeared mis erably poor. The former belonged to a a rich man. and the other to a poor man, so that the angel thought be could lodge with the former, because it would be less burdensome to him than to the other to enterlain a guest. Accordingly he knocked at the door, and the rich man, opening thea window, ask id the stranger what he sought ThSanjrel replied; i seek a nighf s lodging.-" Then the rich man scanned the stranger from head to foot, and perceiving that be wore ragged clothes, and seemed like one who had not much money in his p )cket, he shook hLs head and said, "I cannot take you in; my rooms are full of he rbs and seeds, and, should I shelter every one who knocks at my door, I might soon take the beggar's staff into my own hand. Seek a welcome elsewhere. r So saying, he 'nit his window to, and left the gooa angel, who immediately turned his back upon him and went over to the little house. Here! he had scarce ly knocked; when the door was opened, and the poor man welcome, and said, bada the wanderer S,op here this night with me; it is quite dark and to-day you can go no further, This reception pleased the angel muchJ and he walked poor man also in; and the wife of the bade him welcome, and, hording but her hand, said, "Make yonrsejf at home, and though it is not much thAt we have, we will give it to you with all our heart. Then she placed some potatoes at the fire, and while they roasted she milked her goat for something to dnnk with was laid, the ate with them, them. When the table) good angel sat down and and the rude fare tasted well, because they who partook of it had hapgy faces.' After they had finished and bedtime came, the wife called her husband aside and said to him, "Let us sleep to-night on sk aw, my dear, that this poor wan derer may have our bed iv hereon to rest himself, for he has been walking all day long and is doubtless very -tired. - "With all my heart, "jreplied her hus band; " I will offer it to him, " and, going up to the angel, he begged him, if he pleased, to lay in their bed that he might rest his limbs ' thoroughly. The good angel at first refused to I take the bed of his host, but at last he yielded to their entreaties, and laid down, while they made a straw couch upon the ground. The next morning they arose early, and cooked their guest a breakfast of the lest that they had, and when the sun shone through the window he got up too, and, after eating with them, pre pared to set out again. When he stood in the doorway he turned round and and said to his hosts, "Because you are so compassionate and pious, you may wish three times and I. will grant each time what you desire. " The poor man replied, " Ah, what else can I wish than eternal happiness and that we two, so long as wej lire, may have health, and strength, and our necessary daily bread ? for the third thing I know not what to ask for. " I "Will you not wish for a new house: in place of this old one asked the angel, "Oh, yes!" said the man, "if I may keep on this spot, so would it be wel come. " j Then the good angel fulfilled his wishes and changed their old house into a new one; and, giving them once more his blessing, went out of the house. It was already broad daylight when the rich man arose, and, looking out of the window, saw a jnew, handsome house of red brick where formerly an old hut had stood. The sight made him open his eyes,' and he called blis'wif e up, ' and asked, "Tell me what has happened; yesterday evening an old miserable hut stood opposite, and to-day.there is a fine BB 8URETOU ..6" - !iiii'juiijjMiiii!iiiuiHumi new house! Bun out and hear how this has happened. " The wife went and asked the poor man. who related thai the evening be fore a wanderer had come, seeking a night's lodging, and that in the morning he had taken his leave, and granted them three wishes eternal happiness, health and food during their lives, and. instead of their old hut, a line new house. When he had finished his tale, the wife of the rich man ran home and told her husband all that had passed, and he ex claimed, "Ah! bad I only known it! the stranger had been here before, and would have passed the night with us but I sent him away. " "Hasten, then," returned his wife, "mount your horse, and perhaps you may overtake the man and then you must ask three wishes for yourself also. " The rich man followed this advice, and soon overtook the good angel. He spoke softly and glibly, begging that the angel would not take it ill that he had not let him in at first, for that he had gone to seek the key of the house door, and meanwhile he had gone away, but if the angel came back the same way he would be glad if be would call again. The angel promised he would come on his return, and the rich man then asked if he might not wish thrice as his neighbor had been allowed. "Yes," said the angel, "you may cer tainly, but it will not be good for you, and it were better you did not wish. " But the rich man thought he might easily obtain something which would tend to his happiness, if he only knew that it would be fulfilled, and so the an gel at length said, ".Ride home, and the three wishes which you shall make shall be answered. " The rich man now had what he desired and, as he rode homewards, began to consider what he should wish. While fte thought he let the rein fall loose, and his horse presently began to jump, that be was jerked about, and bo much so that he could fix his mind on nothing. He patted his horse on the neck and said, "Be quiet, Bess!" but it only began fresh friskings, so that at last he became savage, and cried quite impatiently, "I wish you might break your neck!" No sooner had he said it than down it fell upon the ground, and never moved again. But the rich man, being covetous by na ture, would not leave the saddle behind, and so, cutting it off, he slung it over his back and went onwards on foot. "You hwe still two wishes," thought he to himself, and so was comforted, and as he slowly passed over the sandy common the sun" scorched him terribly, for it was midday, and he soon became vexed and passionate; moreover, the saddle hurt his back, and, besides, he had not yet decided what to wish for. "If I should wish for all the treasures and riches in the world, " said he to himself, "hereafter something or other will occur to me, I 'know beforehand, but I will so manage that nothing at all shall remain for me to wish for. " Then he sighed and continued, "Yes, if I had been the clownish pensant who had ''also three wishes, and 1 knowing how to help him self chose first much beer, then as much beer as he could drmk? and for the third a cask of beer moref" ? ? - Many times he tbooght he knew what to wish, but soon it appeared too little. Then it came into his thoughts how well his wife was situated, sitting at home in a cool room and appropriately dressed. This idea angered Urn uncommonly, and without knowing it, he said-aloud, "I wish she were sitting upon this saddle, and could not get off it, instead of its being slipping about my back.- As soon as theses- wordswere out of his mouth the saddle' disappeared from his back' and he perceived his second wish had passed its fulfilments Now he became very hot and began to run, in tending to lock himself up in his room and consider there sotnething great for his last wish.1' But 'When he arrived and opened tho house door he found his wife sitting upon ihe saddle in the middlei of the room and crying and shrieking be cause she could notget off.' So he said to her, u Be contented, I will wish foi all the riches in the world, only keep sit ting there, " H But his wife shook her head, saying, "Of what use are all the riches of the world to me if I sit upon this saddle? You have wished me on it, and you must also wish me off. " So, whether he liked it or not, he was forced to utter his third wish that his wife might be freed from the saddle, and immediately it was done. Thus the rich man gained nothing.f rom his wishes but vexation, trouble, scolding, and a lost horse. But the poor couple lived contended and pioas .to their lives' end. Chlneatf Bfedlein Far Babies.

Why do animal.4 need "alt? Because animal flesh is an epitome of mineral and vegetable ma'im, and salt is a medium between tl. .m a compound of these compounds in certain definite pro portions, and grass and grains do not supply a sufficient proportion to complete the animal compound, and are not there fore complete nut iments. Horses fed on an excess of gr in, in disproportion to most fibrous plants, will eat the ground with avidity when they can get at it, and it supplies in a measure a corrector of vegetable - acidity. Salt being a chloride of sodium furnishes both chlor ine and soda, the 1- tier being a neutral izer of excessive acidity, especially de rived from grasses, pampered horses should be provided with the following ball, always within easy reach : First, make a strong brine of rock salt with a tenth of saltpetre in it ; then get a spit of pure clay and half a gallon of fresh wood ashes and of these make a mixture, with sufficient water, and roll into a ball ami dry. Keep this in a till of the manger, clean and always in reach of the pet animal, just as the grass and ground in his native wold. The ingredient! are an epitome of all that he will eat in health, and this is why they nourish and build up each function. HA1B. r NOTES. Dried milk in a powdered condition if now one of the things being talked about as possible iu the near future. It would be preferable to be condensed ia several particulars. If mile in this form is practicable, the won ler is that it has not appeared in the market long befors this. Henry Stewart says there are no known preparations which can be added to milk or butter which will preserve them and be at the sam9 time perfectly harm less. Boric and salicylic acids, etc., are injurious. Where it is necessary to keep milk, it can be preserved for several days by bottl ng it and subjecting the bottles to a temperature of 150 degrees. A new by-product of the dairy la announced. It is called " lactoserin, " and is a Swedish invention, or the result of such invention, the same as the separator and extractor. It has been examined by the editor of the American Dairyman, who appears to think it a success. It is nothing more nor less than skimmed milk made dry and then baked to a yellowish brown color. It is said to have been tested in the German hospitals, where it was not only pronounced wholesome, but to be good for infants, and to have curative properties. The old-fashioned average, fifteen or twenty years ago,! of the number of pounds of milk required to make a pound of butter, was twenty-five. This was the assumed average, and the records of the first butter factories that practiced eep, cold setting shewed it to be neSrlf t nn ;n Tlnn- i Tffnr rmnr r run 1 1 ii ii i Mr TiJEN GO ABJAD.-I) Crockett. correct That average has been con siderably reduced within the last ten or fifteen years.

Visitor at the White House (to Baby McKee) Ah, my little man, how da you do? Baby McKee Do as I please. "Puck, .Brother And Slater'. The boy who prefers leaving his sister out of his games because she is "only a girl, " or the sister who does not invite her brother to join her own intimates be cause he is "so awkward and horrid," would do well to sit down and consider the beauty of the relation between child ren of the same parents, as it has existed among certain noble souls. George Eliot lias written: .A nd were another childhood world my share 1 would be born a little sister there," and doubtless many a woman who has learned the delights of that relation could echo the wish The idol and hero of Caroline HerscheL the famous astronomer, was her brother William, who took her from a dull, un satisfying life, and gave her a share in his own pursuits. A woman of great mental ability, she was ready to turn her mind in any direction where he could be best served, and though her untiring industry gave her a high place among astronomers, she always insisted that she only " minded the heavens" for her brother. "I am nothing," she wrote, "I have done nothing. All I am, all I know, I owe to my brother. I am only a tool which he shaped to his use ; a well trained puppy-dog would have done as much. " In an intimacy as close and beautiful as this lived Charles and Mary Lamb, the brother sacrificing for his insanity tainted sister the ease of his life, and his prospects of happy marriage. His first poems were -dedicated to his "best friend and sister, " and his daily life was full of constant and loving service to her. So dependent was she upon him that one day, when that thought occurred to him, he said, in his blunt fashion which cov ered a deep well of tenderness : "You must die first, Mary. " "Yes," she answered, with her little quiet nod and sweet smile, "I must die first, Charles. " Yet she survived in loneliness for thir teen years after he had left her. It was Harriet Martineau's elder broth er who first encouraged her to adopt lit erature as a profession. One day he read aloud to her and commended extracts from an anonymous article which she had written. "I never could baffle anybody!" she exclaimed, finally. "The truth is, that paper is mine. " Her brother laid his hand on her shoul der, and said, kindly : "Now, dear, leave it to other women to make shirts and darn stockings ; and do you devote yourself to this. " Had he thrown cold water on her as pirations, the world might have been the loser. Dorothy Wordsworth renounced all thought of marriage and the cultivation of her own poetic gifts, for the sake of devoting herself entirely to her brother, the poet. Before any one else had thought of it, she recognized his genius, and she was always his inspirer and critic - So may a conventional tie become gilded and glorified by Jove.

Daughters of the New British Minister. Special Washington Letter. Every day almost Sir Julian Pance fote, a fine specimen of the well-developed Briton, may be seen swinging down Connecticut avenf from the brick pile known as "the legation, convoying four good loo kirt girls, oval of face and banged of hair, some of them not yet "in society. " His well-compacted figure is as straight as an arrow; his well-shaped head sits upon his square shoulders, his round and ruddy face glows with health and happiness, and his blue eyes look at you with the kindliest expression of good will and benevolence. The proverbial exclusiveness of the English manner is not seen in this family, perhaps because they have all lived so much abroad. Sir Julian has spent most of the last twenty years in the diplomatic service In, China, India, Egypt, and the West Indies, and lias risen from a humble of ficial position. He has been knighted several times, and will feel benighted again when he strikes the fisheries ques tion. Lady Pauncefote is youthful in ap pearance. Sitting among her daughters he looks to be their elder sister. She is thoroug hly conversant with the ways of the world, of courts and of castles at home as well as abroad, and yet she has preserved a sweet simplicity in her vomanhood that is wonderfully charm ing and attractive.

She spends her moruiugs in sketching and painting and drives or walks in the aft ernoons; is devoted to horses and dogs, loves to ride and drive and dance, and loves music, though she is no performer. Alias Pauncefote is fond of everything American. "I was very anxious to come to America, "she said, "and was .iehghted when we finally decided the matter. I do not wish ever to re turn to England. I am delighted with Washington, the city and the country, what portion of it I have seen, and I .thall be very glad ' Indeed when I have an opportunity to Irovel and see more of this charming noun try."

While many bridal veils are still made long, extending to the bottom of the train, others, are very much shorter, barely reaching half a yard below the waist. The very latest innovation in this regard is a square of tulle gracefully arranged on the head and to fall at the back, while in front there is only a tiny piece of tulle that is drawn across the face . and reaches to the tip of the nose. This portion is removed after the. cere mony.. Some veils are edged with real lace, and one or two brides have had them arranged on their heads so that the lace forms a little frill around the face ; but this is not generally approved, as it looks too much like a cap. wamuxoxb ros jcxjr. Silver and gold-headed canes are en tirely out of style. Gloves are plain, one button being; correct" instead of two. Tan color will prevail. For single and bouble-breasted sack suits fancy checks and stripes will be much used. The soft Angoras and diagonals have almost entirely superseded all other cloths in dress suits. Overcoats are made with straight backs, without seam, and in a variety of materials, the favorite being the soft Angoras. Soft hats are coming rapidly to the front, and will be. much" worn during the spring and summer. Of these the "tourist" or Alpine shape is the favorite. Trousers will be a trifle wider, with a tendency to a spring over the instep. Both medium and wide stripes will be the prevailing style in fabrics. The old-fashioned tie which passes around the neck and fa tied in a bow will be worn again this summer. The only new thing about It .will be the broadened ends. The Prince Albert or double-breasted frock coat will be cut shorter in both waist and skirt than in former seasons, the entire length being much shorter than usual. . The waistcoat opens a little lower than that worn during the winter, and has a notched or shawl collar, showing more of the shirt front, and sometimes admit ting a display of studs. With the lowering of waistcoats the favorite cutaway coat, in one, three, er four buttons, will be cut a trifle lower. The one-button cutaway is specially adapted for stout and elderly men. Shakespeare Explained By a Child. The following' conversation, overheard in a summer hotel parlor, took place be tween two children of 11 and 13, who were comparing notes about - books. After discussing some novels of the day, one little girl asked the other if she had ever read any of Shakespeare. "Shakespeare!" exclaimed the other. "I never read one of his books in my life! Have you?" , "Well, not exactly his books, but some stories fixed up out of his books. They are splendid t" "What are they? Tragedies?" "Some of them are. 'Hamlet' is. I like Hamlet ' ever so much. " "What is it about?" ' "Well, I can't exactly tell you, but it's something like this: A lady wanted to marry some one, but she couldn't, and had to marry some one else; and after a while Romeo went to a grove, and Julie came too, and they killed each other. Ifs splendid. " i ;1 .Splendid!" The boy of to-day wouldn't kick a hole in his drum to see what was inside, ne'd Jook for a place to put a nickle in the slot. Merchant Traveler. Just ant. If a boy sees a coat that fits him he sometimes puts it on before he knows it; or we may say the same thing in other words "A gtiflty conscience needs no accuser." Two school boys had quarrelled and finally had engaged in a real stand-up fight. The teacher got wind of the affair and called the combatants before him. "He struck me, " said one of the boys. "He said I stole his knife," said the other." "I said somebody stole it," said the first boy. "Well, you meant me," replied the other. "Why, Charlie," said the teacher, "if Willie had told - me that somebody had stolen his knife, it would not have made me angry. I should not have thought that he meant me. " "Well, but you don't steal," was the ready answer. Kind Words. . U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 27, 1889. CDs. .na . tafi -tKi t . . 1T FIVE CENT 9 Te Merroae IebtlltsUel .flfea.
