There was only* one thing in the
(World of which Eben Ransom thor-
oughly approved; that was hard,
steady work. “I hope,” said the
philanthropic spinster who was
spending af fortnight at the Hansom
^farm, “I do hope, Mr. Hansom, that
you treat all your men alike; give
them all equal advantages and wages.

trouble and discontent among labor-
ers in any field of work.” \
Mr. Ransom surveyed her gravely,
and nodded assent. -
j “You’re right there, ma’am,” he
. said, dryly, after a moment. “There
is just one rule for the folks that
work for me. ‘Begin as early and
keep it up as late as there’s light to
go by, and you’ll get your one-fifty
i* day, unless the times are unusual
hard, when I make it one-twenty-
five.’
j “But I tell you, ma’am, you can’t
get as many fellers to work on an
eqttal hasis nowadays as you might
think.”—Youth’s Companion.
THE EX-EM PRESS EUGENIE.
I The Empress Eugenie, who has
had so n^any years of heartache,
* finds her comfort in getting close to
’“Mother Earth.” At her Riviera
villa she leads a very quiet life, and
in her garden often weeds the beds
with her own hands, still so delicate
and pretty, though old. .No half-
withered bud or blossom is left on a
rosebush or a plant, and she knows
how to wage war against slugs and
snails. At'Sir Thomas Lipton’s es-
tate in Colombo, where she was a re-
cent guest, one wonders if she as-
sisted in the gathering of the tea
leaves. When it rains she plays pa-
tience, laying the cards before her on
the table in a solitary game. To
play patience and to poke around the
flowers! Even an empress must
thus find her comfort in a lonely old
Sge.

MARSfe HENRY'S MEMORY.
I Qua Thomas was spending an eve-
ning with Marse Henry Watterson
in Louisville, and around two a. m.
they began to feel tired. By three
they were exhausted. By four they
were all in and had to quit, separat-
ing and going their different ways.
Thomas tumbled out of bed the next
afternoon at dinner time and looked
up Marse,p«otv. ft) they could go to
breakfast together. ' r y
“Col. Watterson,” said
“where did we go after two o’ch

SAVING THE BABIES.
Spring babies of the poor are said
to die very frequently before the
summer is over because they are not
properly cared for during the hot
weather. To save the babies it is
necessary to begin with them at
birth, when they are generally as
healthy as the babies of wealthy
pie, but their parents do not s<
realize the responsibility that W1
with parenthood and must have
babies taken care of for them.
