C, AUGUST 21,1891 Hint to Mothers. "I need a new carpet for mv dining room," commented a woman recent ly, "but I tell the children while they are so careless at the table the old one will do as well. It is a Wilton worn to canvass, and on occasion the maid actually takes a scrubbish brush to the grease spot." "Why, do you know," replied her companion, "I have bought a new one this spring on purpose to improve my children's manners while eating. They greatly admire the freshened room and it is a matter of pride with each one as he gets down from his chair to see how few crumbs he oan have." This is a whole sermon in itself Children are peculiarly susceptible to the beauty or otherwise of their eur-rounding-. They may not be able to voice it may not be conscious of it, even, but it is none the less a potent influence on their behavior. 'I used to notice," said an observ ing person once, "in a family which I visited quite frequently, that when my visit was confined to a chat in the library, a lovely, ennobling room.full of book and sunshine, if the children were visible at all they were exceed ingly mannerly and charming, while on occasions when I would go down informally to the home luncheon or dinner their behavior was quite dif ferent. The room was dark and sun less and the belongings good, but with all freshness worn off. I finally at tributed the change in the children's conduct to their different environment." honest life, but the cleteetiYes would not let me. I want the longest sen tence possible." Justice Hatch sbowed much enrn tion and postponed sentence. The man's story created a great deal of comment and an effort will be made to give him another chance. A Hello of Her Soldier Hrotlicr. In the latter part of 1866, when the federal troops were passing through Baltimore to their northern homes John Werick found a knapsack on a vacant lot in east Baltimore, Md. In it was a well worn copy of the New Testament, upon the flyleaf of which was written in a neat hand: "B. Taylor Jetton, jJo. I, Eleventh North Carolina regiment, Lincolntou, N. C. From Lieutenant L. J. Hoyle." Mr. Werick carried the book home, and last Christmas his daughter, Mrs. Charles Beeler, persuaded Mr. Wer. ick to present it to her. Early in January she wrote Jhe postmaster of Lincolntou, N. C. and asked his as sistance in finding the owner of the book or his relatives. Mrs. Beeler has received an answer to her inqui ry from Boston. It was written by Mrs. Fannie D. Britton, No. 1 Circuit square, Boston Highlands, Mass. Mrs. Britton wrote under date of April 23: I have just received a lettf r from you, through the postmaster of Lin coluton, N. C, which was my former home. Boston being the home of my adoptiou. The Testament of which you speak belonged to my brother, who was killed at Gettysburg, July 2, 1863. We never recovered his body or anything belonging to him. He must have had on his person a silver watch, a ring and a set of shirt studs when he was killed, which he always Wore, even after he went to war. The Testament, being of the least value, was no doubt thrown away. I thank you very kindly for taking the trouble to find his relatives, and Bhall feel truly grateful if you will forward the Testament to me. Just to think, af ter twenty five, years to find some thing belonging to my noble brother. Mrs. Beeler forwarded the relic to the sister. All Men Against Him. Tears stcod in the eyes of the spec tators in the Criminal Term of the Superior Court in Buffalo, N. Y., re cently, when Peter Dubois told the story of his life. He was indicted for horse stealing and pleaded guilty. Judge Hatch asked him if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced against him. The man looked the judge squarely in the face as he said: "I am guilty. Do your worst and send me as long as you can." "I was convicted of stealing many years ago," he continued. "Well, I went to prison and served my time When I left prison I decided to live an honest life, but the world is against me. I got out and wert to work at the Gilbert car works. The foreman found I was a convict. I did not stay to draw my pay, but left. At last I got work with Hardwicke & Ward. told Mr. Hardwicke I was a convict, that I wanted to reform. Within a short time a detective came and said the superintendent had sent him there to see how I was getting along Then Mr. Hardwicke wrote a note to Superintendent Mory, telling him to keep the detectives away; he knew my history. I got along for a while and was happy with my wife and family. Two detectives came and asked about me on Friday and on Saturday I was discharged. The foreman said there was no work. don't know what I did. I have no recollection of taking this horse and buggy, and as 1 had not drank in seven years the liquor made me mad." Then his voice grew deeper and he said: "I do not ask mercy. Punish me as yon will. I will not take my lib arty and stay here. I tried to live an The Croaker. The croaker, born of woman, is a man of long face and full of alarms. He is pessimistic and out of joint, and sees no good in anything under the sun of the heavens. You may seek him to tell of a new scheme that will make you rich, but he will take the wind out of your sails and make you feel like a Tucker at a strange coun try dance. You may believe that the town of your habitancy is a fair place of abode and destined to become a metropolis in which corner lots will sell for many sesterces per front foot, but after writhing under the baleful influence of the croaker for a half hour you will think the town is as dead as the famous erhost of mightv Caesar, and because you possess real eBtate in it you will wish that you had never been born or had died when you were young. Out upon you, croaker, sing hey the whining hoodoo that you are 1 You have killed more honest enthus iasm than ten thousand such snifflers as yourself could excite. You have caused promising towns to retrograde to sleepy villages; you have retarded the development of vast areas of country that but for you might now be flourishing like a green bay tree, you have talked the snap out of mul titudes '.of young men and caused them to seek the bowl that inebriates, and you have made hosts of active, hustling men aweary of this .trouble dream of life. Oh, croaker, you of the long face and whining tongue, hie thee to a hennery! Gather thyself by the straps of thy boots and flip thyself off the face of an earth that is encumbered with your presence. And if you see no good in anything, if you believe not in energy and progress, shut thy clap-trap of a mouth and discourage not the men in whose craws are con tained sand enough to tackle great enterprises and in whose heads are brains enough to bring them to suc cessful ends. Texas Sittings. Oret Is Bttlqaette. At official and diplomatic dinners it is sometimes difficult to decide upon the order of one's goi ug. W b en Dom Pedro, then Emperor of Bruzil, was entertained at the White House he had been told by a confused Senator that it would be expected that he, the Emperor, should be the last one of the guests to depart. The Presi dent's wife, however, informed her other f.uests that they would be ex pected to follow, not precede, the royal party in leaving the house. The result was that no one dared to go for fear of a breach of ettfquette. But at three o'clock in the morning a tired woman pretended illness and the deadlock was broken. The Book Trust Knocked Out. A Cabd to the rrBLic. The price of the gieat Encyclopedia Brit annica, t8 per volume for the English edi tion, and $5 per volume for the Seribner and the Stoddardt editions in the cheapest bind ing has been a bar to its popular use.
