ACCGiaJTOtY PURE
THE HUSBAND.
At a So routs dinner recently th tody who
responded to the toast "Our Husbands" gav
Mm following verses:
Who weds because we are so dear
And then forgets when it is here
The anniversary every year?
The husband.
Who when he's donning evening clothes
Would with an angel come to blows
And lets the whole house hear hia woes?
The husband.
Who sometime makes us quail and quake
With tales about the bread and cake
Hia mother used to make and bake?
The husband.
Who calls the landlord with a frown
And then slips out and goes up town.
While wifey talks that landlord downf
The husband.
But when the clouds are dark and gray
And ruin seems not far away,
Who takes the helm and saves the dart
The husband.
Who grumbles lots, as well we know.
That here no wine shall ever flow.
Vet in his heart is glad 'tis sot
The husband.
And so. In water pure and clear.
Fit emblem of our sisters here,
I drink the health of those so dear
Our husbands.

BEHIND THE SCENES.
"Yon see, my boy, " said Uncle Ho
bart, ' 'matrimony is a dangerous thing.
Ton take a bonse for, say, a year, and
if it doesn't suit at the year' e4."
it is altogether different. Yon can nei
ther sell nor exchange ber it's a life
long bargain. "
"Bat, Uncle Hobart, " said the nephew
and beir apparent of that gentleman,
"let's take another view of the matter.
Suppose that she is all that is lovely,
excellent and desirable?"
Uucle Hobart Rensbaw rubbed big
nose.
As an inveterate bachelor of five and
fifty he was naturally inclined to take
the less sanguine view of the case.
"Paul." said he, "it's of no use to
argue the matter. A young man in love
is a young man mad for the time being.
If you've made np your mind to get
married, not all the arguments in crea
tion will avail against it Only be sure
yon make a right choice. Remember
how much depends upon it "
Paul Fontaine laughed good humored
ly. Like all young men, he thought so
much caution qnite unnecessary.
"There are two sisters of these Lind
leys, you Bay?" said Uncle Hobart re
flectively, polishing his glittering spoo
taule glasses.
"Two, sir Emily and Esther."
"Both of 'em pretty?"
"As twin blush roses, sir. "
"There you go!" said Uncle Hobart
testily. "Right into sentiment, just like
a three vol did e novel. "
"Well, sir, isn't it natural enough to
compare a pretty girl to a beautiful
flower? If I could think of any other
comparison"
"You needn't trouble yourself, " in
terrupted Uucle Hobart "Whatlwant
to find out is what they are like. "
"Esther is bright and sparkling;
btniiy is all softness and refinement
Esther is a brunette, with the blackest
hair I ever saw. Emily has chestnut
ourls and blue eyes, and a lovely, fair
complexion.
"Exactly." Uncle Hobart hummed
an old tone which had been popular in
his youth:
Black eyes most dazzle at a ball ;
Blue eyes most please when shadows falL
"And which do yon like best, Paul,
eh?"
"Tbey are both of them charming!"
energetically answered the young man.
"Upon my life, uncle, I sometimes wish
that the Turkish system prevailed here,
and that I conld marry both of them. "
"Difficult to decide which is the most
fascinating?" questioned Uncle Hobart
"But the thing is, my lad, which will
wash and wear the best for everyday
life?"
"That is a question which the future
will deoide, nncla Unfortunately we
have no chemical test to decide the mat
ter." "Think not?" said Uncle Hobart dry
ly. "Look here, Paul, up to the present
time you have only seen these girls
through thecbiarosouroof visiting dress
and company manners. What would
yon give to behold them as they really
are to get a peep behind the scenes?"
"Half that 1 am possessed of, uncle!"
cried out Fontaine, with animation, "if
only to be able to satisfactorily prove to
you, sir-bow pure and noble and high
bob led jtiey are. Bnt all this is non
sense Ofcpnrseit is an impossibility!"
"Nothipg-of the sort," said Unole
Hobart "Yon say that up to the pres

People call him a miser, bnt little
cared he for that The widow, the fa

could tell a different tale, and Hobart
Ronshaw, qnaint and eccentric though
be was, conld read the book of human
character with an almost unerring eye.
"Run, Betty, run! It's that nuisance
of a drainmau again. It does seem to
be as if he came about a great deal of

The Lindleys were people who kept
up a grand appearance npon a compara
tively disproportionate foundation.
Their sitting room was elegantly fur
nished; their hall upholstered in Persian
patterned B'nssela, with rosewood rack
and Gothio hall chair, but the kitohen
was a gloomy, subterranean apartment,
scantily furnished and uninviting in
aspect
Moreover, the Lindleys were strug
gling to keep up appearances on a mod
erate income, and Betty, the little work
house girl, in her print frock and thick
shoes, was the only servant they kept
"Dear me! what is the young man
sticking his nose in here for?" cried out
Esther indignantly. "Does he expect
to find drains in the fireplace or under
the washtnbs?"
"Please, sir, the sink's iu the collar,
sir. This way, sir!" said Betty, clamp
ing on ahead and turning open a cellar
''" whence rushed out a blast of
ihrally damp air.
nvvoi the one glance into the kitchen
hod been enough. Esther. ia greasy
pink dress, and her hair in a bristle of
curl papers, sat before a tray, with
bowl in her lap, eating a 10 o'clock
breakfast, while her pretty feet, tbrnst
into a pair of badly worn slippers, dis
played sundry unmended holes, and
soiled pocket handkerchief tied aronnd
ber neck did duty in place of the neat
collar or frill generally supposed to be
necessary.
Mrs. Lindley was bending over a hnge
kettle of bubbling and boiling preserves
upon the range, and at the washtnb
stood a slight, trim figure, with an
apron tied around ber waist and sleeves
above the elbow, Emily herself, scrub
bing away with the energy of a laun
aress, ana net sliming nair wound in
lustrous braids around and about her
small head.
Uncle Hobart, following olosoly at
the heels of his nephew, was just in
time to bear Esther's petulant voice
from the other room sounding shrilly on
their ears.
"It's too bad, mamma! The toast is
scorched to a cinder, and the coffee isn't
drinkable. I must have some fresh
made!"
"Ob, Ettie, don't!" coaxed 'Emily.
"Mamma is so tired, and she has so
much to do! Won't a glass of milk do?"
"No, it won't! I must have coffee,
and decent coffee, too!" asserted the
brunette, tapping her pretty foot on the
floor and knitting her jetty brows.
"Then I'll make it" said Emily, "if
you 11 wait nntil I get these collars rub
bed ont"
"I'd be ashamed to turn washerwom
an," grumbled Miss Esther.
"I'm not ashamed of anything that is
useful!" cried Emily, with spirit.
"when papa works so hard and the
washing bills are so heavy. It won't
hurt either of ns to do a little honest
work and spare mamma all we can.
"Do leave off moralizing and get my
coffee 1" snarled Esther, who had evi
dently risen in no amiable mood.
And the borough surveyor and his
bogus assistant, having no excuse for
remaining longer, beard nothing more.
Paul Fontaine was silent as he walked
along the street, but Uncle Hobart
chuckled softly to himself.
"Nothing like an inside view I" said
he. " The up stairs angel often turns into

Paul, my boy, beware of brunettes.
There's mischief behind the arch of

together by the sea at Brighton the week

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
A DEAL IN PEANUT BRITTLE.
The Trading Venture of a Youthful Mem
ber of the Gratebar Family.
When they put the price of peanut
brittle down to 13 cents a pound in the
big stores, Maude Oratebar, the oldest
of the Gratebar children, had an idea.
Peanut brittle costs SO cents a pound in
the grocery stores and confectionery
stores up around where the Gratobars
live. Maude's idea was to take some of
her money sho is thriftv and alwara
has a little money and bny peanut brit
tle at one of the big stores at 13 oents
and job it out to the children at 30.
She thought that she conld rely on the
trade of the Gratebar household, where
she was well known, and the sequel
showed that her confidence was not mis
placed.
Mande bought three pounds of pea
nut brittle at 13 cents a pound, SO oents;
car fare added, 10 cents; total invest
ment 46 cents. Sold at 80 cents
pound this would manifestly bring in
bu cents, so tnat JUaude expected to
make 14 cents on the deal. Tradeopened
very briskly. Philip and George and
Clara, the other Gratebar children,
transferred their entire trade in peanut
orntie to tne Home store. Maude sold iu
any quantity asked for a single penny
worm, u aesireu. mis made it verv
handy for George and Clara, the two
younger children, who could run into
their mother's room and ask for aoennv
ana tnen sooot into JUaude 8 room and
buy peannt brittle with it
Maude used a toy scale and weishta
tnat Bad been given to one of the chil
dren as a Christmas present This was
bad, for the weights had never been
sealed, and despite ber thrift Maude ii
generous, and what between the un
sealed weights and her own generosity,
wnenever tne children bought 1 cent'
worth she really gave them nearer
cents worth, so that when the peannt
brittle was half gone, and she should
have had 80 cents, she really had only
ii. line nils loss might nave been re
trieved and the deal stil.1. 'laid ot
prone ii : nau not "egun to give
credit." Mande knew well enough that
that wasn't business, but what conld
she do when little Clara came along and
said mother'd gone out, and she wanted
a cent's worth of peanut brittle and
asked Mande to trnst ber for it till
mother came iu. Could Maude refuse to
trust her own little sister for a cent'
worth of peannt brittle? Why, certain
iy not biie let ber have it
At the end of a week George and
Clara had rnn up a joint account of 10
cents. Then Maude shut down on them
absolutely. No more peanut brittle, ex
cept for cash and the payment of all
back indebtedness. That threw them at
once back upon their mother. Called
upon for 10 cents all at once instead of
for pennies separately, Mrs. Gratebar
investigated. She found the two young'
er children in debt to Mande, and
Maude herself uncomfortable over the
situation. Philip bad bought 10 cents
worth of brittle, so that the total cash
receipts had been 81 cents. Bnt even
counting what the little children owed
as good there wasn't brittle enough re
maining on hand, even if sold for cash
and at full price, to make good the
original investment
Things were getting complicated, and
Mrs. Gratebar acted promptly. She paid
ue cnuaren s cents, and tnen at once
bought the entire remaining stock of
brittle and divided it among all the
children. Mrs. Gratebar paid 10 cent
for this remainder, so that after all
Maude closed ont the deal at a small
profit, bnt it wasn't enough to pay for
the bother, and that would have been
sufficient to deter her from all such ven
tures in the future, even if this had not
been the express understanding with
