Siabtown is and baa been for years an

educational landmark in tbe County.Tbe people tbere take a juat pride intbeir ancient reputation for school facili¬ties, and always keep a good school insuccessful operation. This year tbeschool is in charge of Miss Mary B jggs, ateacher "to tbe manor born/' and one

who has bad several years' experience inthe work, first as assistant and now as

principal. We spent two very pleasantboars with her school, and greatly enjoy*ed the readiness with which her pupilsengaged in their exercises. Everythingin her school was able to read and. write,even the very yonag ones, and the more

advanced showed progress in tbeir stud¬ies, affording proof of a faithful and con¬scientious teacher. Years ago, in tbe"Auld Lang Syne," Rev. John L. Ken¬nedy, familiarly, known by the boys as

"old boss," held sway in the walls of oldThalian Academy, and from far and near

tbe youth of the land flocked to hisschool, and from tbe classic precincts ofthe old Academy many boys have goneforth to do honor to tbeir preceptor, andshed lustre upon tbeir country. And to¬day wherever th ;se boy^meet and claspbands and recount tbe incidents of theiracademic career, tbere is a fellow feeliDgamong them which makes them all feelakin, and not a man of tbem but pays a

tribute to tbe memory of father Kenne¬dy. And they are planning now to rear a

abaft to his memory amid the scenes

where hin life work was done, and more

than three hundred of them have con¬

tributed tbeir mite to erect this shaft,until now the fund .on band amounts tothree hundred dollars. But while allthis is timely and appropriate, no marbleahaft can perpetuate bis memory as doestbe monument erected and forever en¬

shrined in tbe loyal hearts of more thanthree thousand students who hc.ve goneout from under bis tutelage into the va¬

rious wall's of life.

Over into Brushy Creek and tbe firstschool wo came to is at Mt. Fisgah,taught by Miss Jennie Williams, whohas recently come to ns from Pickens.We noted quite a difference in thisschool, in the fact thait last year therewere quite a number who could neitherread nor write, while this year nearly allwere able fio do something at both, andtbe teacher assured us she was makingstrenuous efforts along that line. Eskewsowed some good seed, and did some

good work there, and we take it thatMiss Williams is carrying it on.

Bayond Pisgah, a short distance, we

came to tbe Maple Springs coloredschool, taught by Sarah Evans. Thisschool was small, and from what we saw

and heard, we should say tbe teacher was

small, too, which may account for. thesize of the school.

'«¦»¦ -

At Mountain Springs we found our

brother, Edwaid King, at the fore. Thisplace has been without school privilegesalmost for several terms. One or twoshort summer terms have been taughtthere, but the neighborhood, feeling tbeneed of something more, have recentlyput up a good building and employedMr. King for a ten month's term, andthere we found him earnestly striving todo his whole duty, and we feel sure thatbis work will tell when tbe results are

footed up. Mr. King has been out oftbe school room for some time, but iszealously trying to "catch on" to the edu¬cational progress and spirit of the age,and is bound to succeed.

We did not visit tbe Saluda and Be-thesda school*, for the reason that MissStenhouse, the teacher of the formerschool, had written to inform us that shehad been compelled to close on accountof continued ill health.. We greatly re¬

gretted not being able to meet her in herschool, as we greatly enjoy inspectingthe work of an accomplished teacher,and Buch wo take her to be from pastobservation. At Betheeda they are run¬

ning no school, for the reason that thecommunity is engaged in putting up a

concrete school building, and propose tohave themse lves laid off into a separateSchool District for the purpose of estab¬lishing a high grade permanent school.This is well, and speaks well for tbe edu¬cational Bpirit of tbe community, and we

wish tbem a hearty good speed in tbework. Wo have promised ourself an¬

other visit tc that community this spring.From this place we drove to Cedar

Wreath, to pay our respects to Miss Jen¬nie iCosamond. Through cold, rain andmud the drive was anything but a pleas¬ant one, but once inside the building, theair of busy work pervading the room, andthe evidence of good work having beendone in the past cheered us, aud droveaway all thoughts ol the elements outside.Miss Jennie reports her school not as

large as usual, but in spite of the weatherthree-fourths of tbem were present forduty. Having been at work here ,forseveral successive terms, her work istelling on her pupils, and it is to behoped that faithful and conscientious as

she is, her people will keep her it it foryears to come.

iNDEKSON, S. C.f 5BILL ARF'S PHILOSOPHY.

Atlanta CoiutUttiion.At last the graves of the Georgia sol¬

diers who fell at Frederickeburg are

marked with marble head-stones, withname and company and regiment, chisel*ed deep into the rock. Mrs. Barney ishappy, and so are her noble companions.the ladies of the Memorial Society.With them it haB been a labor of love-love that never grows weary. Only a

few months ago they made their appealto Georgia, and right well has Georgiaresponded. Two hundred and three ofher patriot boys are Bleeping there.faraway from home and kindred.kindredwhose loving hands would have broughtsweet flowers in their season and kept theturf green upon their graves, and wateredthem with tears. But loving hearta were

there, and those graves have not beenneglected. Woman can ever be trustedto perform the sweetest, tendereat, holiestduties that belong to oar nature. Thepoet says,

Man's inhumanity to man,Makes countless thousands mourn,

But woman's hnmanity makes as manythousands rejoice. Mrs, Barney is a no¬

ble Virginia woman.one who wentthrough the war like a soldier, and was

always on duty.duty to the sick and thewounded and the dying.duty in the hos¬pital and out of it.duty in the sacrificeshe made of personal comfort and per¬sonal security.duty to Georgians andTexaus, and all, as well as to Virginians,and ever since the war she has continuedon duty.duty to the dead who sleep near

her home. Not a soldier under the sodat Frederickuburg, but would eay, if bisspirit could speak to us, 'she is my moth¬er and my sister.' Tbr.t bloodstainedsoil has always been very dear to me, forour Tom Cobb fell there. Tom Cobb, thebeat loved son of Georgia; the pride ofall our people; the Christian hero; thefriend of humanity; the learned andbrilliant and noble gentleman. He was

in his prime of manhood and was myideal of a noble man.

Mrs. Barney writes: "If I could onlysee all tbese dear graves marked withmarble headstones, I would die happy.We must hurry and get through thiswork before the veterans are all dead, forI fear that the next generation may betoo busy to think of them. There are

1,800 graves here, graves of eouthernpatriots.and none are permanentlymarked, except those from Georgia. Ifeel Bure that the other States would re¬

spond if there was some one to move

them. Virginia has done very well.She has sent us $450; Texas has sent$142; Maryland, $20; Florida, $8; NorthCarolina, $6; South Carolina, $2, Arkan¬sas, $2 and Tennessee $2. I know thatthere isjuBt as much patriotism in thehearts of those people as there i'b inGeorgia, and all tbat is wanted is forsome good man or woman to awaken it.The marble headstones that you sent us

are beautiful, the work well done and thelettering perfect. They were escortedfrom the depot to the cemetery by a guardof honor .the Maury Camp of Confeder¬ate VeteranB, under command of CaptainLee, a brother of Fitz Hugh Lee and a

nephew of Robert E. Lee. With theirown soldier hands they took them fromthe wagons and placed them in -thegraves. It was a silent, impressive cere¬

mony, for.Not a drum was heard, nor a funeral

note.'The band very kindly offered their servi¬ces, but we thought best to dispense withit. Georgia's patriotism shall be knownand published, and perhaps the otherStates will soon awake and emulate herexample."

Yes, tbey will.I know they will if thewomen will take bold of the work.There is not a town or village in any

of those States that would not willinglyBend ten dollars if some good womanwould Bee two other good women andsay: "Now let us go round this morningand ask for a half dollar or a quarter fromevery man we meet. Let us be in a hur¬ry, and be in earnest. We are very lateabout this thing, but not too late. Wecan raise ten dollars in an hour." If theladies will do this, tbey can raise a

thousand dollars in a week. It will nottake that much from each State. Perhapsfive hundred will dö, but those good la¬dies have long since laid the foundationof a monument to the unknown andunrecorded dead, and they would rejoiceto get money to complete it. But let us

see to the graves of the known and therecorded dead, and if any money is left,it will not be lost or misspent. The cityof Macon raised one hundred and fiftydollars for the graves at Johnson's island,and just so the cities of Nashville andChatlanooga and Memphis and Birming¬ham and Anniston and Montgomery andMeridian and Jackson and others, stillfarther west, would gladly do likewise topreserve the graves of their own soldiers.Patriotism demands it, and so does grati¬tude and State pride and southern pride.Let every town and village send five or

ten dollars, and the good work is done.Get the editor to help. Publish a noticethat you are going to call next day on

everybody for half a dollar, and say youare obliged to have it and will stay untilyou get it. A man dunned me on thestreet the other day for six dollars, and Itold him I would see about it, but tbat Ihad to go to the barber's shop just then.Well, he said, he was in no particularhurry and could wait that long, and so

he followed me and took a seat andwatched until the barber got throughwith me, and of course, I bad to go andhunt up the money to get rid of him.That's the way to do Borne folks. Sendthe money to Mrs. J. N. Barney.shewill find the marble and furnish thenames of the dead. We bad so manymarble companies in our State tbat we

preferred to have Georgia marble over

Georgia graves, and so I interviewed themand found tbem more than liberal. Tbeyare all northern men, but they have do¬mesticated and affiliated and acclimatedwith us, and they like us and we likethem. I made a contract with GeorgeB. Sickles & Co., of Täte, in PickenaCounty. Mr. Sickles fought us for fouryears just as hard as he could, but hewon't do so any more. He gave us a

beautiful polished marble thirty incheslong, twelve inches wide nnd one and a

CHUESDAY MOENIhalf inches thick for one dollar, and thatis really less than its cost. His contri¬bution amounted to over one hundred dol¬lars in the discount that was made uponthe marble and the lettering.Now let every good mau stop his work

a minute and say, "I will go one dollaron one grave, I will Bure," and if he can'tfind any woman going around for themoney let him seed a money order or a

dollar bill to Mre. Barney. She will getit. Tbe mail won't be robbed.not a

cent of it will go to feed or fatten any¬body. Tbe are no salaries, to pay. It isall woman's work, and it ia free work.Mrs. Barney received a letter from Phil¬adelphia, inclosing twenty dollars, andall that was written was: "A boy whofought in blue sends this to preserve thegraves of the boys who fought in gray."Wasn't that nice and kind? I wouldlike to nabor with that man. Would toGod that we were a nation of friends.The northern people who have come

south will respond willingly to this work.I know that they will. Why Bhouldn'tthey? We are taxed every day andhave been for twenty-five years topreserve tbe graves of tbeir dead soldiers,and to pension the survivors and all theirkindred. The annual pension bill ofninety-eight millions has just passed, andnot a dollar of it will come to our people.We fought for our convictions and theyfought for theirs, and that is all there isin it, or about it. We are exactly even

in patriotism, and ought to be even ineverything else, but we are not.But tbey are coming down to live with

us and are coming fast, and we are har¬monizing with them. In a few years1 hey will have as much to do with therace problem as we will, and then Mr.Ingalls, and Mr. Cook, and all their sortwill have to stand aside. But I am con¬

cerned for the dead now, the living can

take care of themselves.Bill A p.p.

A Curious Coincidence.

"I used to travel around the countrywith a patent hay fork," said the manwith the green patch on his left eye, as itcame his turn to tell a story. "I am notgoing to say anything about that patentmore than that no farmer ever got anybenefit from it. What I wish to bringout is what might be called a curiouscoincidence, and one that I havekicked myself over a dozen times.

"It was in this way," be continued, as

be got settled back on his seat. "Far¬mers have their weak spots the same as

other folks. You can hit some of themby.praising their buildings, others by ad¬miring tbeir horses, others again, throughtheir hogs or calves. I had a way of hit¬ting them all, and it worked to my greatprofit every time. When I got up in themorning, after staying all night witha farmer, I got off something as

follows:"I had a very curious dream last

night. I dreamed that I was digging outbehind your barn, just on a line with a

big knot bole in tbe sixth board from thewest end, and I unearthed a tin box con¬

taining two thousand dollars in green¬backs. The dream was so vivid that Ialmost feel the box in my hand. There'snothing in a dream, of course, but Inever bad one that seemed so real.""Mind you, I had taken notice of the

knot hole the evening before. SometimesI fixed a place behind the barn andsometimes near a stump, or so manypaceB from a certain tree or straw-stack;bat it was all settled on beforehand. Itwasn't one time in twenty that a farmerwould chaige me for my lodgings aftergiving him this dream. It hit urn' plumpcentre, and they were only too anxious toget me out of the way so they could be¬gin digging.""Go on," said several voices, as he made

a long pause."Well, one morning, after lodging with

a farmer all night, and getting his notefor fifty dollars for a hayfork, I relatedthe usual dream in the usual way. Thistime it was buried treasure beneath a

Btump near his barn. I saw that be was

hard hit at once, and he left me eatingbreakfast and went down to dig. I was

chuckling over bis greenness, when hecame walking in with a tin box under bisarm.""You don't say ?""But I do, and It was a box be had dug

out a foot or so below the surface. It wasbroken open right then and tbere, andmay I be drowned for a yaller dog if thecontents didn't pan out $4,625 in just as

good greenbacks as ever you Baw.""But.but.""There were no buts about it. He

found the money and kept it, as was hisright, and no one ever came to claim it.ThiB two dollar bill was a part of it. Hegave it to me as a reward for my dream,and I am keeping it as a relic to showwhat a fool a man can make of himself.That's all, gentlemen.all except that Iwant some of you to kick me as soon asconvenient.".iVetü Yortffitar,

Down Went Horse and Man.

A peculiar incident which occurredlast week at Westminister, on the AirLine Road, was related to a reporter forthe News the other day by a gentlemanwho witnessed the occurrence. A man

was Bitting astride a horse near tbe rail¬road track when the train rolled up.The horse became frightened and beganbacking. Before tbe rider suspecteddanger, the animal had backed on therotted plank covering of an old well.The planking gave way and down wenthorse and rider "to the bottom of thewell," to the terroz. and amazement ofpeople who happened to see the strangeaccident. The well was forty feet deepand the fall was terrific. An old railwas sticking upright in the mud of thebottom, and on this the horse was im¬paled, suffering a horrible death. Theman was brought out more dead thanalive, it is said. He had been pinionedbetween tbe walls of tbe cavity and tbestruggling horse, never having left hissaddle in the tumble of forty feet. It itthought that he will recover, though theescape will be hardly less than miracu¬lous.. Greenville News, April 4.

NG, APEIL 10, 1890LAUGHING AND CRYING.

How The.ho Outward Signs of Joy and Sor¬row A fleet Human Nn n.re.

"I suppose the most promirjeut cause

of laughter," says I»r. William A. Ham¬mond, "is a sudden revolntion of theemotions.that is, a change from one

emotion to another, especially when thechanges are of a pleasant character.Thus, for instance, when we have beenreading something rather calculated toexcite grief and we come to something ofa ridiculous character our tendency is tolaugb, while if we had the ridiculous allthrough we probably would not laugh atall. Then we laugh at attempted witrather than at true wit. True wit ratherexcites pleasure, but does not producelaughter, as does buffoonery. We laughat the antics of a clown, but not at thesayings of Moliere.""What is the immediate cause of

laughter ?""It is the reflex action excited by the

causes I have mentioned acting throughthe brain and nervous system upon therespiratory muscles, throwing them intospasmodic action. Laughter is a spasmof the respiratory muscles, accompaniedby a relaxation of the muscles of the faceand sometimes by the shedding of tears.""At what age do people 'laugh the

moBt?""I think it is not often the case that

adult men laugh. They smile, butlaughing is in greater part confinedto women and children. A mere

child laughs readily, and an elderly per¬son who has long passed the middle lifeis very apt to laugh at Blight causes.

This, however, is dangerous for them to

do, as they may bring on apoplexy or dropdead from some heart disease if they in*dulge too immoderately. I have knownseveral instances of death being broughton in this way by old people. Then per«sons of enfeebled faculties will laugh atcertain things which would not exciterisibility with an adult of well orderedmind. A very curious circumstance con¬

nected with laughter is that, especiallywith children, and sometimes with wo*

men and frequently with old people, thevisible expression of the emotion doesnot correspond with their real feeling.They laugh when surprised. I bad a

patient once who laughed whenever hesaw a funeial. He meant to cry ratherthan to laugb. There was another wholaughed immoderately whenever he readthe obituary columns of a newspaper.He said he did so because be felt so sor¬

ry. He would laugh from five to tenminutes at a time before he could controlhimself.""Do not ignorant people laugh more

than the educated ?""Yes; that is bscause they have not

been so accustomed to control their emo¬tions as are people of refined life. Butthe reasons for laughter are most intri¬cate. I have a patient who laughs over

a solemn French book he is reading.He laughs over in a most exciteablemanner, and what he laughs at I cannotimagine.""What are the facts in regard to weep¬

ing?""Weeping, the shedding of tears, is

rarely indulged in by adult men of goodmind for causes of real sorrow. Old per¬sons, women and children, weep ; men ofwell ordered minds do not. Man doesnot weep as a rule under pain ; be maygroan, but he does not shed tears, thoughchildren and women will do so often on

slight occasions."What produces weeping?""Generally physical pain. Adults do

not usually express sympathy for real suf¬fering with tears. It is a very oariouBthing that men will witness the real suf¬fering of a poor woman having her legamputated in a perfectly stoical manner.

They go to the theatre, and seeing a

girl taking the part of oae in distress,shed tears during half the play. I havelooked upon "many distressing scenes un¬

moved so far as weeping is concerned,but upon watching acted suffering I havehad tears come into my eyes. Aremarkable example of this principle isthat of Nena Sahib, the Indian mutineer.He could never read a pitiful atory with¬out crying over it, yet he inflicted themost horrible tortures on the men andwomen who fell into his bands, andseemed to enjoy their misery.""At what age do people, weep most

readily ?""The proclivity to shed tears is very

well marked in old people, especiallywhen they are suffering from some.braindisease, such as apoplexy, or have suffer¬ed from it. They weep over trifles. Ihad under my care at one time one ofthe most eminent gentlemen of his time,who occupied a post next to the highestunder the government, who would crybecause his coffee was cold, and yet thatman's mind in its best condition was one

of the best this country ever produced.I have seen him cry for ten minutes on

such occasions. He was suffering frombrain disease. Some persons can't weepeven when they want to, though the griefof those persons is very distressing, andis very apt to produce serious disturbanceof the nervous system, and when tears docome it is a great reli'Tor them.""What effect do thu>e emotions have

on people?""I think that laughter is better for

mankind than weeping. I think thoseamusements which tend to producelaughter, tend, other things being equal,to prolong life, while those circumstancesthat tend to produce weeping and emo¬

tional distress tend to shorten life.""What harai might excessive laughter

cause?""It might cause death.""What would be the affect of excessive

weeping ?""People are more apt to die from that

than from laughter. Laughter kills onlyas it interferes with the action of theheart, or a* it would restrict the muscleBof respiration so greatly that they preBSupon the large muscles of the neck andcause apoplexy, whereas weeping pro¬duces heart dlBeast quite often.

THE CLEMSON COLLEGE.Important Meeting and Action of the Ex¬

ecutive Committee.

Greenville News, April 3.

An important meeting of the execu¬

tive committee of the board of Trusteesof the Clemson Agricultural College was

held at Pendleton, Tuesday. All themembers of the committee were present,as follows: Col. R. W. Simpson, Col.Jas. L. Orr, Col. D. K. Norris, Col. R.E. Bowen and Allan Johnstone.

Colonel Orr returned to the city yes¬terday, and in respose to inquiries gave a

reporter for the Daily News a full state¬ment of the business transacted by thecommittee.The executive committee was called

together to consider and decide uponplans for the buildings for the new insti¬tution to be erected at Fort Hill by theState's munificence. The preparation ofthese plans had been entrusted to Bruce& Morgan, a well known firm of Atlantaarchitects. Mr. Bruce, the senior mem¬ber of the firm, was present at the meet¬ing at Pendleton, and submitted to thecommittee a series of plans for their in¬spection. No one set of these designswas chosen, but the committee made upfrom all the plans submitted one setwhich they conceive to embody the bestpoints of all, and which they will recom¬

mend to the Trustees for adoption. Theplans selected comprehend, it is believ¬ed, all the buildings that will be neededto start the institution and furnish itample accommodations for years to come.The committee's plans contemplate

the erection of six college buildings andten professors' bouses. Of the collegebuildings proper, attention will be chieflydevoted to the main building. This willbe an imposing structure of modern andaristic design, embodying all the latestachievements in the construction ofschool buildings. It will be built ofbrick, three stories high, 90 feet wide by112 feet in length. The building willcontain twelve lecture rooms, two societyrooms and a muslum, together withoffices for the president and the treasu¬rer. Attached to the main building willbe a chapel measuring fifty by seventy-five feet.Next in importance will be the library

and mechanical department building.The laboratory will be a two story struc¬ture, fifty feet wide and eighty feet long.It will 'be modeled after tb a most ap¬proved German laboratories and will becomplete in every appointtaent. Thebuilding for the accommodation of thedepartment of mechanical work will betwo stories high, and 40 by 100 feet indimensions. Both these structures, as

well as all the other college buildings,will be built of brick.The buildings for dormitory purposes

will be two in number and will furnishaccommodations for 150 students. Thebuildings will be two stories high, and38 feet wide by 120 feet long.. They willbe of plain design but substantial con¬

struction, the idea being not to lavishexpense on dormitory buildings as hasbeen done in similar institutions, but toconcentrate the chief cost on the maincollege building. A building for themess hall and kitchen will be put up inconnection with the dormitories.Ten professors' houses will be built, a

residence for the president and anotherfor the director of the experimental farmbeing included in that number. Theresidences will be of four and ten rooms

each, of modern styles of architecture.The total cost of all these buildings, as

estimated by the committee, will be$100,000.

It has been found that a very largepart of the material needed in the con¬

struction of the buildings can be obtain¬ed on the spot, on the Clemson property,thereby materially cheapening the costof buildiDg. The clay on the place hasbeen tested by an expert and found to beexcellent brick clay. Since there is anabundance of this clay on the farm, allthe brick for the buildings will be madethere. Examination has also developedon the place an abundant supply of goodbuilding granite, which will be used inthe foundations. It is probable that thegreater part of the lumber used in thebuildings will be obtained from the samesource, there being an abundance of tim¬ber on the property.The architects will proceed at once to

prepare the details and elevations of theplans decided on by the executive com¬

mittee. As perfected they will be sub¬mitted to a meeting of the full board ofthe college trustees to be called as soon

as the decision in the Clemson will case,now pending before the United StatesSupreme Court, is announced. The de¬cision will probably be received withinthree or four weeks, at the latest, and as

soon thereafter as convenient the trus¬tees will meet, adopt the plan? and orderthe beginning of the actual work on thebuildings. The committee on curricu¬lum, consisting of Col. B. W. Edwards,B. K. Tillman, J. E. Tindal, M. L. Don¬aldson and J. E, Wannamaker, is ex-peted to report at the same time thatthe executive committee reports on thebuilding plans.

After their session at Pendleton, Tues¬day, the committee visited Fort Hill andlocated the sites for the college buildings.The main building, about which theothers will be harmoniously grouped,will occupy the smooth plateau directlyin front of the stately old mansion ofJohn C. Calboun, and about 300 yardsdistant from it. The spot is the hight-est point for some distance around, andthe ground slopes away from it graduallyin every direction, making the drainageperfect. The situation is picturesque, a

broad campus sloping away in front ofthe site of the buildings and a grove ofgiant oaks clustering in the rear. Theold Calboun mansion, will be, of course,religiously preserved.. Among the rules of a New York

livery stable where the animals of manywealthy men are kept, are the following:"No man will be employed who drinksintoxicating liquors. No man shallspeak loud to any of the horses or in thestable where they are. Horsee of goodblood are nervous, and loud, excited con¬

versation is felt by 6very horse who hearBit, and keeps them all nervous and unea¬

sy. No man shall use profane languagein the hearing of borooe."

VOLUMA Typical Brate of a Husband In Chi¬

cago,

Boss Peters, one of the most prominentmen on the Chicago Board of Trade, a

partner of the late J. T. Lester, the stockbroker, has been served with divorce pa¬pers of an extraordinary sort by hiswife, who, as Miss Marion E. Howard,of Brooklyn, wedded Peters a few yearsago. The wedding was a faultless, styl-,ish affair, and seemed particular charm¬ing by reason of the fact that both par¬ties were young, handsome and verywealthy. Mrs. Peters' attorney is W.A. Foster, one of the lawyers in the an¬

archist and Cronin cases. Her bill char¬ges that Peters is so engrossed with clublife that he has no time ar inclination toattend the demands of home. From thetime the couple commenced housekeep¬ing a few weeks after their marriage,Mr. Peters, his wife says, has been com¬ing home nightly from 12 to 3 a. m. in a

cab intoxicated. He awakes some timebefore noon and wants the morning paperat once, and he has often pushed his wifeout of bed and compelled her to bringhim his favorite journal. Mrs. Peters isvery fond of amusement, particularlytheatres, but Peters, she says, goes to theplay-houses alone, refusing to take heralong. The last time be accompaniedher anywhere was to the dog show abouta year ago. Mrs. Peters' parents, shesays, gave her a §3,000 trousseau, theprincipal dress costing $10 a yard atwholesale in New York. Mr. Peterscontinually avers that the costume was

illy contrived, mean and penurious, andher parents should have been ashamed ofit. During their entire married life, itis said, Peters did not give her over $150worth of apparel. Mrs. Peters says herhusband criticizes her manner of eating,saying she devours her food like a "hog,"and that her voice is "disagreeable,''"course" and "vulgar." The bill con¬cludes with a statement that thoughPeters has failed to furnish bis wife withclothing and viciously curses at the billsof the household, he is a constant patronof the most expensive tailors in America-

Caring Properly for Shoes.

Shoes are one of the expenses of a toi¬let that may be reduced only by care. Aworn out shoe is no possible of renova¬

tion ; no amount of skill will make itpass as new. The only possible way tosave the shoe-leather is to care properlyfor the shoes while wearing them. Awriter in the Brooklyn Eagle makes some

very wise suggestions about the propercare of shoes:

"Particular attention should be paid,in every home, to the care of shoes.Where there are children there is gener¬ally an accumulation of shoes partlyworn and wholly worn, and these are allthrown in the bottom of the closet to¬

gether and must be assorted when want¬ed. When taken out they are some¬

times moldy, because they are thrownin when damp and dirty.; Many of theseare of no earthly use to their possessors,but are hoarded up with the idea thatsome day they will be needed ; yet rare¬

ly is thrs true, as they are put away insuch a rough condition that when takenout they are generally unfit for use.

Shoes that are worn regularly, if caredfor, will last longer than if neglected.A French kid shoe, if kicked around on

the close floor or under the bed, will notlast as long or look as well as one infe¬rior in quality if properly cared for.When shoes are taken off they should bewiped with a eof!. cloth, and after airinga little while, oiled or polished and putin a box by themselves, or a shoe-bag,and when wanted for use can be takenout ready for wear. It is not advisableto use much of the dressing so fashiona¬ble for ladies' and children's shoes, as

most of them crack the leather and ruinit. I have seen expensive shoes, thetops all cracked open in less than a

month by the use of shoe dressing;therefore, unless you can find one thathas been tested, it is better to use a littlesweet oil colored with black inkand rubbed well in. For some yearspast I have used a polish that has con¬

siderable glycerine in it, and found thatit preserves the shoes wonderfully,always keeping them new looking. If alift begins to wear off the heel, I have itattended to at once, and never take offthe shoes without wiping all the dustfrom the crevices and putting them care¬

fully away. The result is I have worn

one pair of boots every day for one year,and another year for a house shoe. Ihave a pair of boots that were made toorder, for which I paid $8. I have worn

them every day for two winters, or ratherfrom October to May, and shall wear

them another, and perhaps two seasons

more. In the spring I rub them withoil and put them away carefully, and inthe fall they look as good as new. Neverwear a shoe unbuttoned, if you care tohave it shapely. Never put wetshoes to the fire to dry, as it hardensthem and makes them difficult to put on.

When taken off the foot wet, smooth intoas good shape as possible and rub themas dry as you can with an old soft cloth,then put them in a medium piace to dry.If your shoes get muddy, wash them offwith cold water and rub dry with a softcloth. This can be done quickly, so thatthe leather may not get wet through,then pull into shape and leave standinguntil quite dry. After this use a littlegood polish and the shoes will be as

fresh as if quite new."
