VeraonaJ Record Keeping Whoee Intereat Exenae Ita Vanity. Ia (be beginning one's parents mast be the authors, or if the parents will ot then some devoted aunt may win for herself the warmest thanks in years to oome. When Heart's Delight came to earth some 16 years ago, a substan tial volume was bought to be her book. Into this weut first the genealogy of the tuniily on father's and mother's sides as tar as there was knowledge of it Pho tographs of great-great-grandparents, fTand parents and parents were inserted, lue wedding dress of the paternal grandmother was shown by a small f ieoe, and the maternal side was rich with bits of the wedding dresses of mother, grandmother and great-grand-mother. Photographs of father and mother at the time of their marriage and when Heart's Delight was born were also added. To these were added one of the house and the room which the little maid made blessed by her coming. The announcement card went in and letters written for her welcome, llaiuma wrote a description of the won der, and papa took her photograph. All this was for the beginning, bnt u months went on there waa more to chronicle. Baby's ways, the coming of her first tooth, her first word and when it was spoken, when she began to creep and then to walk all these were re corded. Into the book went, too, such treasures as the first sock, the first lit tle shoe, a pieoe of her first colored dress. Everything of whatever kind that marked a beginning found a per manent place in the Vanity Book, and the story of the child's life may be read therein. As the child developed the character ci the items naturally changed. When she went to school, ber early efforts sup plied more material, sometimes in the shape of school work and sometimes stories of childish temptations or griefs and jnys. Heart's Delight's first letter is entered in the book. There are so many tokens here that are treasures, more valuable as they row older. The first Invitation to a party, the first theater programme, and -with this are other programmes of hose things which have impressed the child. Her first party dress, of course, was shown in the book. Throughout the book are photographs of Heart's De light herself as she grew toward girl hood and of the girls and boys who were her friends. Long ago the bookmaking fell into the hands of the girl herself, and she odds to it all that points to the story ahe is making. Everything of pleasure, f special benefit in ber life, is to be re called from this book, and even now ahe prizes it above all her possessions. What will it be to her when she is 60? What will it be worth to her son or slaughter when some one writes "Finis" to it for her? What wonld yon not give for rach a book left yon by your mother r father? It would be worth more than money. . There is a great deal of pleasure to be found in making such a book for oneself, though if one begins it after childhood he loses much that went into the little cue's book. It will become filled, bow ever, with the important things of life, each making these for himself. A vani ty book is one of the best things in the world to show how one's ideas of values change and bow life's horizon expands. It records a life with some of those which preceded it and gave it its bent said those which accompanied and de weloped it Though it may be vanity, ft is yet a vanity with a lesson. New York bun. The Apple Dumpling. Apple dumpling day was a red letter cob in my boy's calendar. When I had each a dainty bit in my bag, it seldom ataid there many minutes. Although I had dispatched a hearty breakfast before turting, out would come the dumpling. "Just to have a look at it and to see if it is as big as mother generally makes them," I would say to myself. Then I would turn it about and admire its size. Irora handling the dainty to tasting it was a sure process. "I'll have one lit tle bite, only a nibble, " I would say. When I had got my tooth into that templing, Adam with his apple wasn't , au it. it was a case or once biiitu soon ; gone. Then I would burry on to make p for my dawdling with only the iunk of barley bread in my wallet, the Jbys of the dompliug behind me, and kefore me the day's drudgery, with per fcups a thrashing thrown in.

THE HOUSE'S SHOES. HOW OFTEN THEY NEED REPLEN ISHING AND WHAT THEY COST. Kewttlng Old Shoe Coate About 1UU a Much a New Onee The I'ee of Rubber Iade Carriage Honee' Shoe Coat More Than Thoae of Work Horace. . . r Y , A work horse's shoes cost a good deal more than its driver's shoes da Truck horses, delivery wagon horses' and the great number of horses used for, various working purposes, . Including mauy horses driveu to hacks and other publio carriages, are ordinarily shod oooe a mouth at a cost of 13.60, so that the work horse's shoes are likely to cost f 30 a year anyway, and there may be some additional expense for sharpening and resottiug. Sharpening costs 1. 80. Whether this is necessary or not depends, of course, primarily upon the weather. It may de pend much upon the time of day the horse Is driven. There may be seasons in which sharpening is not necessary. Not all drivers get the shoes of their horses sharpened even when the going is slippery. Such going may come about suddenly and unexpectedly, and it may be of brief duration, and then there are drivers who tinder ordinary circum stances take the risk of the greater cost of a broken shsft or an injured animal to save the cost of sharpening. Of work horses in general probably something more than half have their shoes sharp ened when the going is slippery., There are bo rue, however, whose shoes are al most all kept sharpened at such times, these being the bones that work at night and in the early morning before the sun has softened the ice or melted it away. These inclnde horses driven to milk wagons, bakers' horses, and so on, bow often the shoes are sharpened depending on the going. ; . . j. y -Usually when m horse ia shod be is shod all around. Sometimes there is oc casion to put on a single shoe, as when a horse throws a shoe. The cost of a single new shoe ia one-fourth the cost of a set in the case of a work horse 63 cent a The charge for resetting the old shoe would be 85 cents. Resetting in general, from one shoe up, costs about one-half, or a little more than half, as much as fitting a horse with new shoes. In putting on a single shoe an old shoe would commonly be used, to make it match those remaining on. If it is not too much worn, the shoe the horse has cast would be put back if the driver picked it up. It is suitable and it fits. If it has not been picked up, then a slipper ia pot on from the pile in the shop, slipper being the shop name of the worn shoe taken off and thrown ABide when a horse is reshod. Horses have peculiarities in wearing their shoes, just as men da Some wear them off more at the toe, some more at the heel, and tome wear them more on one side than on the other. Horses' shoes wear off more quickly on granite pavements than tbej do on asphalt, and the greatly increased use of asphalt pavement has led to a correspondingly increased use of rubber pads in horses' shoes to give the bones a better foot bold. Rubber pads, as well as the shoes, are fitted to the horse's foot and nailed on with the shoe. Shoes with rubber pads of this kind for work horses, cost, put on, S4 or $5 a set They are likely to wear li rer than shoes without pads, but they are commonly replaced or re set at thu end of a mouth. The necessi ty for reehoeing the horse at intervals of about a month is due in a considera ble degree to the natural growth of the horse's hoofs, which require trimming or other attention about once in so often. In the case of iron shoes, at the end of a month, when tbey are taken off, tbey are likely to be too much worn to go another month, and new shoes are put on. In the case of rubber pad shoes, if they are not too much worn, tbey are reset, and this may be done in perhaps 40 or 60 per cent of the cases. Some times the old shoes may be put back with new pads, sometimes the old pads with new shoes. It depends a good deal on the manner in which the horse wears them. So that while the first cost of rubber pad shoes is considerably greater than that of plain shoes the net cost is not so much greater. The price charged for shoeing a pri vate coach or carriage horse is $1 more than for shoeing a work horse, or 3.60, and rubber pad shoes, such as those de scribed, for carriage horses cost $5 or $8 a set. Suoh horses are reshod ordinarily, like most horses, once a month, and as a rule their shoes are also reset in the middle of the month. And the shoes of private carriage horses are more com monly kept sharpened in slippery weath er than are those of work horses. Wom en are more likely to be disturbed by the slipping of a borse than a niun would be, and the carriage horses are usually more valuable than work horses, and less risk of injury is taken. j In some cases it might be that the j charge for shoeing a horse, either a car riage borse or a work horse, wonld be according to the time required rather than bv th iob. a, for em-mle. in the case of a lame borse, in shoeing which more than the usual time would be needed. Shoes are made and fitted - to meet any requirement and the cost j might be, according to the amount of work and time expended, from $1 to $5 for a single shoe. New York Sun. , The Critic.

INSANE MURDERERS. The Queetloe) of Keapoaelblllty and rue Whuienl for the Crime.

Cut it is a very anxious ques tion, especially iq view of recent dog mas as to degeneracy, how far this doo triue is to be allowed to go. The condition of affairs it mncb more serious than some people think, and it is highly necessary that those who ad' minister tb criminal law should be on their guard against any Insidious estab lishment of immunity for the violation of its most sacred principles. In any case of mnrder the presumption in fa' vor of hanging should be so strong as to leave very slender prospect of escape for any man who prior to the commis sion of his crime had been thought fit to be at large. If this condition cannot be secured, it will become a matter of grave necessity to take prompt steps for the incarceration of many people of evil passions who are now at liberty and to render the utterance of threats a matter to be dealt with by the aliiuiist as well as by the magistrate. London Hospital. SOCIETY IN SIBERIA. Beeteaa and Oaeete Frequently Retire to the Kitchea to Cook and Eat. "At one of the grand balls I attended at Krasnoyarsk, " writes Thomas Q. Al len, Jr., of "Fashionable Siberia, " in The Ladies' Home Journal, "I was im pressed by the profusion of flowers used in the decoration of the ballroom, and which had been imported from Europe at enormous expense, and also by the importance given to the matter of re freshments. Although there appeared to be about four girls to one man, tbe male portion of tbe company spent tbe greater part of the evening at the buffet or zokooski table, eating and drinking. The conversation of tbe women, I found, was most conventional, and one could invariably anticipate the same remarks upon an introduction to a lady. Knowl edge of French, which 1 was surprised to find few could speak, is consider! d the most graceful feminine accomplish ment "The kitchen, however, baa for tbe lady of tbe land a peculiar fascination. Very often while dressed in silks and satins and conversing with her guests a hostess will proceed to fry a 'blin,' or pancake and eat it with tbe greatest gusto. The other ladies are at liberty to follow tbe hostess' example if tbey choose." French aad Engllah Crnaoer French men of letters have not enough of tbe audaoious spirit of tbe English, says Henry D. Sedgwick in The At lantia They troop to Paris, where they have been accustomed to sit ou their classical benches since Paris became the center of Franoe. The romance of Villon is the romance of a Parisian thief. The romance of Roosurd is the romance of the Parisian salon. Montaigne lives on his seigniory while England is topsy turvy with exoitement of new knowl edge and new feeling. Corneille has the nobleness of a jeune fille. Yon can measure them all by their ability to plant a colony. Wreck them ou a desert island, Villon will pick blackberries, Ronsard will skip stones, Montaigne whittle, Corneille look like a gentle man, and the empire of France will not increase by a baud'a breadth. Take a handful of Elizabethan poets, and Sid ney would cbop, Shakespeare would cook, Jon son dig, Eaoon snare, Marlowe catch a wild ass, and in 24 hours tbey would have a log fort a score of savage slaves, a windmill, a pinnace, and the cross of St. George flying on tbe tallest tree.

That terrible sea front oousists of precipitous walls of , rock, with only here and there a dtp, where brawling strait has sawed ita ' course down to the sea, aud here there ' is, porhaps, a sandy shore of dlmiun- ! tue farmers aud geutry of the Ueigb borhood, all of whom were provided with numerous donkeys, which were henceforth sent down to the caches, and the kegs aud bales were removed under cover of the uight or of storm. Asau excuse for keepiug droves of donkeys it was pretended that tbe sea suud and the kelp served as admlrnblo dressing for the land, aud uo doubt so they did. The trains of annus sometituestrmiie up laden with sacks of snud, but not infre quently with kegs of brandy. Now a wary preveutive man might watch too uurrowly tbe proceedings of these trains of asses. Accordingly squires, yeomen and farmers alike set to work to cut deep ways in the faoo of the downs, along tbe slopes of tbe hills, aud bank them up so that the whole caravans of laden beasts might travel up aud down absolutely unseen from the sea and greatly screenod from the land aide. Undoubtedly the sunken ways aud high banks are a great protec tion against the weather. So tbey were represented to be, and uo doubt greatly were tbe good folks commended for their consideration for tbe boasts and their drivers lu thus at great cost shut ting them off from tbe violence of the gale. Nevertheless il can hardly be doubted that couoealment from the eyos of the coast guard was sought by this means quite as much, if not more, than the sheltering the beasts of burden from the weather.

Everything in a campaign depends upon tbe gcueral in command, upou his coolness, resourcefulness and rapidity of glance. He may be a man who dis likes correspondents, a dislike they are certain to return, and he feels therefore as if be were perpetually watched in the gravest crises by personal enemies, a feeling which would have been fatal to Marlborough or Eugene of Savoy, tbe two commanders most remarkable for immovable sang frold.

We do most seriously believe that there are officers of the highest merit in tbe British army from whom the conutry will never obtain tbe best service tbey are capable of performing because of tbe multitude of reporters in tbe camps. Thut is a thought which those who are responsible for armies are bound to ponder, and, knowing as they do its truth, we do not wonder that they doubt whether to interest tbe readers of newspapers is an advantage sufficient to outweigh so many risks. Loudon Spectator. The Law Boalneaa. "Haven't see you lately," said tbe first lawyer. "No," replied tbe second lawyer. "We've moved." ' Where are yon now?" "Over in the Utopia building.
