HOME SECRETS.

"WHY THEY SHOULD BE KEPT SACRED -THE FOLLY OF MAKING HOME CONFIDENCES.

Powibly in the whole range of human characters there is none more despicable t-hnn that of one who acta as a *py or a meddler in family matters. There is certainly none who exerts a more deadly influence on the peace and happiness of home. Young couples above all will find tbeacquaintance of such a person almost fatal, and the sooner the connection between them and such officious outsiders is severed, thejbetter. !No matter how perfect and angelic lovers may appear to each other, it will be found out after marriage, that they have their differences of opinion and tastos, and thev would hardly be human if they did not "discover some slight causes of provocation with each other. Such things are as different from what we call strife or quarrelling as a summer breeze is from a cvclone, but let one of these officious people who delight in prying into family matters know of them, and the breeze may powibly become a cyclone before it ends. The only safe rule is for married folks to keep their secrete to themselves. There is a circle within every household, into which no outsider nhould ever enter. It is the shrine, the holy of holies, made sacred by the great 4ove a man and wife bear each other, and there they should agree to bear with each other's failings—to remonstrate, or to complain, to forgive and make up. r»o tjchool-girl friend of the wife's no college chum of the husband's—let them be ever so dear—should be admitted into that inner court wbere the married conplo should stand alone. How many have learned by experience what a bitter thing it is to have a third person in posHOdslon of a secret they would give their lives, almost, to get back. When a cloud seemed to rest for a moment over the unnshine of their married life, when their hearts were grieved and their tempers rufiled, they were foolish enough to confide their troubles to some caller, or some officious friend always on hand to receive such confidences. And then when the cloud passed, and the sunshine came back, and the momentary bitterness was forgotten in the sweetness of making up, oh, what a torture it was to know that a stranger knew all!

If all young married couples only knew the'worth of this advice! They needed no third person in their lovemaking, and if,after marriage, thoy find out, ns most assuredly they will, that

being

human thoy cannot be faultless, let them boware of taking any third person to settle their differences. Let them continue to le aftor marriage, what they •were before, all tho world to each other, and if in plucking the roses of marriod life.athoru wound occasionally,—if a hasty word provoke an angry retort, if some thoughtless act be construed into unkindnoss—let the pain 1x5 evor so sharp, it will cease very soon. True love is a plant of strong growth It will stand anyainountof passing storms and still thrive in all its beauty and vigor. But it is extremely sensitive, anu shrinks from common touch, and if it be exposed to the rude gaze and rough handling of pHssera by it will not bo long lived. If married people would keep this treasure to theenu of life,let them settle their own differences and make up with a kiss as they did in their courtship days, and let the outside world bo none tho

A bap picture of llfo in Ireland is drawn by a correspondent of the Springfield Kepublhun. He declares that no onecttu conceive how wretchedly poor und destitute human beings can fie and live, until ho has ridden by cabin and crib, and all tho nameless shifts for shelter that offend the oye botwoen (JlengarlfTaml Killarney. Not onedwnt homo, not one comfortable, tidy dwelling, not one cleanly, well-fed, neat human being did he see. Troop* of sad, wan, starved children, nearly naked, smeared to the ©yes with dirt and ashes, followod him mile after mile, plaintively walling: "A penny if ye plaze, stir."

In the •whole long ride of tiftv-fonr miles he never saw a dojr and he oxclaims: ••Think of a people too poor to keep a dog!"

THE QUEE$ THING WE DO.

Have yon ever reflected upon the very many fnnny things we do, for which we can give no particular reason How is it that we do not give five cheers, two cheers, one cheer Why is it that we give three cheers and no more

Why it it that the majority of people use the right hand instead of the left, anH cannot help smiling at those who use the latter

Why is it that a man cannot nee a bundle of toothpicks without helping himself to one, when he does not need it

Why ia it that a small boy cannot let a thin, wasted wasp fly in peace, without furiously going for it with his new straw hat or why is it that the small girl will always insist upon lugging home a kitten that has eyes?

Why is it that when one asks us the number of days there are in a certain month, wealways have to say. to ourselves, "Thirty days hath September, April, June and November

Why is it that we turn to the right instead of to the left, when the left is far preferable, and if adopted would save many an accident on railroads and highways? The driver always sits upon the right of his vehicle in tnrning to the right he is farthest away from the wagon fee passes, and, unless be is an expert, cannot tell how close he comes to the wheels of the man who goes by him whereas, if he turned to the left side, he could look straight down, see to the fraction of an inch how close he was approaching an obstacle, and thus avoid it. The engineer runs upon the right-hand track, and sits npon the the right-hand side of his cab. The long, narrow locomotive, with its sand-tower belfry and smoke-stack, is in front of him cutting off bis observation. He can see only his own track, white the opposite, save at a distance, is almost wholly unseen by him. On some roads the reverse is the custom.

Custom, owing to causes we know not of, has established these curious precedents, and from observation and education we unwittingly do thousands of things that are, to say the least, funny, and that we cannot explain.

FACTS IN HUMAN LIFE. There are three thousand sixty-four languages in the world, and its inhabitants profess m*»re than one thousand religions. The number of men is about equal to the number of women. The average of lifeisauout thlrty-tbreeyears. One quartor die previous to the age of seventeen. To every one thousand persons only one roaches one hundred years of life to every one hundred only six reach the age of 65, and not more than one in Ave hundred lives to eighty years of age. There are on earth one billion of inhabitants, of these thirtytbree million, thirty-three thousand, thirty-three, die every year, ninty-one thousand eight hundred and twenty-four every day, threo thousand and seven hundred and thirty every hour, and sixty every minute orooo every second. Tho married are longer lived than the single, and above all thoso who observed a sober and industrious conduct. Tall meti live longer than short ones. Women have more chances of life in their favor previous to fifty years of age than men have, but fewer afterwards. The number of marriagos is in the proportion of seventy-fiye to overy one thousand individuals. Marriages are more frequent after equinoxos—that is, during the months of June and December. Those born in the spring aro generally of a more robust constitution than others. Births are more frequent by night than by day, also deaths. The number of men capablo of bearing arms is calculated at one-fourth the population.

Thomas Kelly, of Philadelphia, thought he could write a will so simply and clearly that no lawyer's aid would bo necessary. After his death the following was offered for probate: "I will that Margaret Kelly, my wife, shall have this property and house while she lives, and do as she wishes with it." The widow finds, however, that the will is obscurity itself. The first question arises as to what property it refers. Certainly not tho Surrogate's office, as it would soem to most people reading the will there, but more likely the place wherein the decedent happened to oe when he wrote tho will. Assuming that tho widow is permitted to prove what property her late husband had In his mind, the next question arises, did tho testator, by "this property and house," mean the house together with the personal property in it, or simply tho house and lot? Admitting that ho intended she should have onlv a life estate or a fee simplo in the reafity. "Whileshe lives" creates a life estate, and "do as she wishes with it" implies a power to sell or otherwise dispose of—gives her, in fact, complete control as owner in fee.

A voung man with but one eye, meta poorly clad and woe-begone girl on a wharf in Baltimore. He kindly asked her what was the matter. She hesitated, and then, being urged to speak out, said that a clairvovant had tola hor to go to that spot at that time, to meet a oneeyed stranger, who would ask her to marry him, which she would consent to do, and long happiness would ensue for both. Of course he could not doubt her stnrv, for was he not thero with his single eye? He made the proposal of marriage, and the next day the wedding was held.

A schoolmaster, while on his morning walk, passed by the door of a neighbor who was excavating a log for a pig trough. Why," said the schoolmaster, "Mr.'S., have you not furniture enough yet?" "Yes,"* said the tnan, "enough for my own family but I expect to board the schoolmaster this Winter, and am makiug my preparations acCordingly."

Preparing for the futue state "Ah, my friend," said a clergyman to a parishoner who was the husband of a termagant, and who had made application for a divorce, "we should be yielding and foregiving. There are no divorces in heaven." "That's the reason," said the sufferer, "why 1 am anxious to get a divorce here."

Undoubtedly there is much fcile talk about the wonderful extravagance of tho ladies of the present day, their pursuit of constantly change of styles and the luxuries demanded by those who can, or think can aff-rd the expense. One would be led to suppose, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, that these were things of modern growth. But just look at the "style" they used to put on in earlier ages, and their enormous extravagance.

We are told that the ladies ot Lesbos slept on roses whose perfumes had been artificial heightened. And in those times court maidens powdered their hair with gold.

Mare Antony's daughter did not change her dress half a dozen times a day, as do the Saratoga graces, but she made the lampreys in her fish-pond wear ear-rings.

The dresses of Lollia Panlina, the rival of Agrippina, were valued at 51,(564,480. Thisdia not include he jewels. She wore at one supper $1,562,590 worth of jewels, and it was a plain citizen'ssnpier. The luxury.of Pappae, beloved by Negro, was equal to that of Lollia.

The women of the Roman Empire indulged in all sorts of luxuries and excesses, and these were revived under Napoleon First in France. Mine. Tallien bathed herself in a wash of strawberries

and had herself rubbed down

with spouge3 dipped in milk and perfumes. Ovid says that in his day girls were taught to smile gracefully.

The beauties of ancient times were just as vain as modern belles and spent the greater part of the day at their toiiet. The use of cosmetics was universal among them. Aspasia and Cleopatra (models of female beauty it is said) both used an abundance of paint, and each wrote a treatise on cosmetics. Cleopatra used bear's grease to keep her hair from falling out. Roman ladies were so careful of their complexions that to protect them they wore masks. The Athenian women of antiquity were very studious of their attitudos and actions, and though a hurried and sudden step a certain sign of rusticity.

We have certain styles of beauty nowadays so {had the Greeks. They went wild over the "ideal chin"—neither sharp nor blnnt, but gently undulating in its outline, and losing itself gradually and almost insesible in the fulness of the neck. The .union of the two eyebrows was esteemed by the Romans beauty. It is said they admired the air of dignity it gives to the face.

But the ancient girls didn't all dress extravagantly by any means, even if they did not put on the agony in other ways. Some of them wore hardly enough clothes—stylish girls at that. The Athenian maid traveled largely on her shape,las tho saying goes. In Greece even in the streets and houses and in the walks of daily life, there was but slight concealments of the person. The Greekklresses were quite plain, and with their long folds followed the form and motion*. Egyptian women of the present day, show the body and hide tho face, as though ashamed of themselves Over in Athens thoy didn't even hide the face. The Greek bells had no idea of immodesty in exposing their person. In tho annual festival of Neptune, tho most beautiful girls in Athens, went nude along the snore and bathed in the sea while all the assembled world looked on. On these occasions Phryne, says the historian, showed herself to tho admiring eyes of all in the perfection of her beauty.

An Albanian bollo of to-day presents a rather striking appearance. She is, as a rule, gaily coifed with seed pearls and coins, and enveloped in a black serge pelisse. She uses paint on her face profusely. and her taste runs to cherry lips and cheeks, and jet black eyebrows strongly drawn. An Albanian bride discards paint for awhi?e, and, it wealthy, wears a suit something like this: Rosccolored under-robes, with an over-robe of dark green volvet, the idea being taken from a rosebud half folded in its leaves. Thus arrayed, the girl of handsome features is said to look really bowitching.

Turkish beauties of the harem, in order to give the appearance of fullness to their eves, lightly touch the borders of the lids with a fine camel hair brush dipped in sulphurate of antimony, taking care to extend the dark liue thus traced to a short distance beyond tho ancles.

Tiie Tartars despise prominent nasal appendages, and tho women who has the smallest nose is esteemed the most charming, but to outside barbarians she is a perfect fright.

The women of Spiti, in India, wear tunics and trousers ot woolen stuff, with largo boots, partly of leather, partly of blanket, which come up to the knee, and which they are fond of taking off at any time. Iu order to obtain greater warmth they often put a quantity of flour into these boots beside their legs. Their taste in regard to ornaments runs much to all sorts of rings, including nose-rings.

A typical woman of the interior of Africa is thus described: "Her naked negro skin was leathery, coarse and wrinkled her figure was tottering and knock-kneed her thin bair huug in greasy locks on her wrists and ankles she had almost an arsenal of metal links of iron, brass and copper, strong enough to bind a prisoner in nis cell. Abont her neck were banging chains of iron, strips of leather, strings of wooden balls, and heaven knows what lumber more."

In Guinea the dress of the women consists of a square cloth extending from the arms to a little below the knew, with a looee shawl or silk handkerchief throwu over the shoulders. Their ankles, arms and fingers are loaded with bra.** rings. The anwle-rings of a first-class belle will weigh twenty-fire or thirty pounds, a load which makes their walk anything bnt gmceful. The felikwiahle female gait is v«r_» much like the waddle of a goose. Princes* are wont to wear tbetrliair plaited over a Urg* pad on ihe top of their h^wds, with r«»ett*n of artificial hair on tlwir temples. G« the gold coast the females wsar a large 'loth so wrapped about their person as to afford tolerably modest concealment of it. Here one sees no lack of gold om »ent«. rudelv fashioned, glittering am :.g tlLe wool,'in the ears, on the neck, arms and ankles of the female population. A dance is a great occasion for the display of fashion. Then the guinea tody wears bands of gold and jewels on her arms, and decorates her ebony legs with brass rings eight to twenty deep. She may haw. also, a diamond necklace and brooch, or strings of many-hoed glass beads. The African belle on these sions daubs on the bright colon rethrow, breast and arms in all manner of fanl-ical shapes.

A^h-toned Kirghis woman of TWUrv wears a robe ofblack Chinese satin, a red shawl around tbe waist, a white mnsiin cap, with long lappels, embroil with rod silk, and high-heeled of bmrrr Ifeatber.

200

years ago, when licentiousness prevailed to a frightful extent in that country. It is said to have had a marked effect on the morals of tbe people. Most Oriental women cultivate fatness. They alsodaub their finger and toe-nails with a coating that looks like red mud, and dock their hair and destrov their teeth by smoking and eating bonbons.

THE MYSTERY OF THE SURF.

A SOUTHERN VISITOR'S EXPER1 ENCE AND REFLECTIONS.

Atlanta Constitution.

Surf bathing is a revelation! I went in yesterday with a lovely and modest woman from the North, with whom I had but short acquaintance, although I had seen a good deal of ber. As we stood awaiting the coming of a bisj wave she clutched my arm, and poising herself on one foot", beuded the other leg, and pullfd ber stocking over her knee—trying vaiulv to makeit cover a tip of white. She thought nothing of this—neither did I. In an instant the wave was on us, and we were riding the swell as bappv as a pair of ducks. "That evening the lady went sailing with the same party that had been bathing with her iu tho morning. As she stepped over the side of the boat she exposed about four inches of her pretty silk stockings, and ber face was crimsoned with shame and mortification.

Now, why this difference? It was exactly the same limb that had been exposed to the knee all the morning without any thought of confusion. As I came into the hotel corridor yesterday a voung ladv screamed: "Shut the door! Quick! There's somebody coming

She had put on her bathing suit for a trial trip in her mother's room, ami was horrified that a man should see her in that fix. A half hour later she and I were lving on the beach, the waves purling over us at every throb of the sea, aud she, with herflbapoly figure bended was writing her name iu the sand with her toes, while her merry laugh rang above ihe roar of the waves.

But if the dressing on the beach and the unconsciousness with which the most modest of girls stand tho exposure consequent upon it is remarkable, the conduct of a crowd in bathing is still more so. That is the miraclo of social life, I think. Tho girls clad in this pranking pretty dress—tbe passing pressure of the waves outlining the curves of the body with tho warm flesh glowing and throbbing beneath tho single garment— the girls thus attired run hand in hand in the water with their sweethearts. and romp and frolic, and are ducked aud hauled out by the feet, or are clasped around the wast, or catch the fellows about the neck as a big wave comes—and yet there is not tbe slightest prurient suggestion, and no hint of "gallantry. 1 non't believe a scandal was ever born in the surf. I cannot conceive of a sentimental attitude amid the rolling breakers.

I am compelled to confess that a month at tbe seaside does not confirm the general idea of feminine symmetry that all gallant men aro supposod toontertain. It is the rarest thing to lind a girl with straight limbs, gracoful carriage, firm flash, full chest and unrestrained attitudes and poses. In a majority of casos they aro wabbly and uncertain, with a stoop in the shoulders, a mincing step, toes turned in (the numbor of pigeontoed girls developed here is postivelv alarming), ond general debility of gait and flabbiness of attitude.

I noted at one of the resorts several days ago the handsomest woman 1 ever saw on the beach. She was tall and slender, but divinelv formed. Her pretty bead was poised iike a queen's upon a swan-like neck that swelled into snowy bust aud shoulders. A bathing shirt, loosely tied about the neck and without sleeves, cave perfect pl«iy to her superb body. I'.lack silk stockings and feet that left |erfeotly outlined footprints,set regularly in the sand at about thirtv degrees divergence. There was something royal in tho unconscious grace and beauty of this woman as she walked into the water, the cynosure of a hundred eyes. Utterly dwarfing her escort, she seemed disregardful of his presence, and, when the foam was clustering about her knees, raised her gleaming arms above her head, and went like a flash into the body of an incoming breaker.

A writer signing himself "a well man," writes: "I was ill for years with weakness. Milky urine, palpitation of the heart, bad dreams, etc., wbere some of the symptoms. I took two bottles of Dr. Guvsott's Yellow Dock and Sarsapjirilla and now can sign tnyself a well man." _____________

BOYS WHO SUCCEED. Springfield Republican. Thirtv years ago, Mr. H.,a nurseryman in" New York State, left home for a day or two. It was rainv weather, and not the season for sales out a customer arrived from a distance,tied up his horse, and went into the kitchen of the farmhouse, where two lads were cracking nuts. "Is Mr. H.at home?" "No, sir," said the eldest, Joe, hammering at a nut. "When will he be back "Dunno, sir. Mebbe not for a week.

The other boy, Jem, jumped up and followed the man out. "The men are uot bere,but I can show you the stock." he said, with such a bright, courteous manner that the stranger, who was a little irritated, stopped,and followed him through the nursery, examined the trees, and left his order.

You have sold the largest bill that I have had tins season," his father, greatly pleased, 6aid to him on his return. "I'm sure," said Joe, "I'm as willing to help as Jem, If I'd thought in time.

A few years afterwards these two boys were leftj by their father's failure and death, with*but §200 or $300 each. Joe bought an acre or two near homo. He has worked hard, but is still a poor, discontented man. Jom bought an immi grant's ticket to Colorado, hired as a cattle-driver for a couple of years, with his wages bought land at forty cents an aero, built himself a house, and married. His herds of cattle are numbered by tbe thousands, his land has been cut up for town lots, and be is ranked as one of the wealthiest men in the State. "I might have done like Jem," his brother said, lately, "if I'd thought in time. There's as good stuff in me as in him." "There's as good stuff in that loaf of bread as in any I ever made," said his wife, "but nobody can eat it. There is not enough yeast in it." The retort, all though disagreeable, was true. The quick, wide-awake energy which acts as leaven in a character is partly natural. But it can be inculcated by parents, and acquired by a boy if he chooses to keep his eves open,and to act as promptly and boldly in every emergency.

WHY A HANDSOME WOMAN GRACEFUL. Correspondence Atlanta Constitution.

I noted at one of the resorts, several days ago, tbe handsomest woman I ever saw on the beach. She was tall and sleuder, but divinely formed. Her flesh was firm, and dazzling in its whiteness. Her pretty head was poised like a queen's upon a swan-like neck that swelled into snowv bust and shoulders. A bathingKhirt,'loosely tied about the neck, and without sleeves, gave perfect play to her superb body. Black silk stockiugs encased a leg of exquisite proportions, and feet that loft perfectly outlined footprints set regularly in the sind at about thirty degrees divergence. Thero was something royal in the unconscious grace and beauty of this woman as she walked into the water, the cynosure of a hundred eyes. Utterly dwarfing her escort, she seemed disregardful of his presence, and, when the foam was clustering about her knees, raised her gleaming arms above her bead, and went like a flash into the body of an incoming breaker. The vision of that woman shines to this hour as a serene star amid the crowning memories of the month, nor does tbe vision lose its luster when I reflect that she was an employe In the hotel, and her grace was the result of hard work and constant exercise.

SA RA TOO A \S LACE BAR Y. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A nurse at the United 8tatcs has in charge a young lady of three months of age, who is known to tho most of the guests as the lace baby. The infant charmer is brought out oa'ch day inns many toilets as a full-grown belle. One morning its long Valenciennes laco frock is worn over a pale blue slip, and on another day soft roso color reveals tho exquisite meshes and needle-work in which ilis swathed. The lace baby is covered with a lace trimmed cloak, and reposes on a lace cushion carried in the arms of a maid, whose cap, ribbons and kerchiefs match tbe color of the baby]s costutnecach day. The poor little pink's face is sunk in tbe nest of lace ruflleH, and its lace trimmed garments make its wardrobe as costlv as any dowager's. Valenciennes, Cluny, Honiton and even point lace are worn by this squalling bit ot humanity in most lavish quantities, and in these first, blinking months of its existence there is a fuss aud ado made over it that it may never enjoy again. _______________ "CAN SLEEP NOW AND FEEL
