Cincinnati, O. THE COACHMAN'S PASSING. ' When Railroads Came, the Old Timers Disappeared From Earth. One often wonders what became' of the old eoachman when railways, drove the last of the ’mails 'off thb road and those who ‘lnit ’mown few ' pleasures that were -nofc^ associated with the movements o f lively teams tnd, the hum of rolling wheels or gonial intercourse with the travel­ ing world could enjoy those things no more; There must be-deep pa­ thos in the unwritten romance o f' that period. With-few.,exceptions the drivers of stagecoaches had no - aptitude- qr -inclination for other work, though they were masters of 'their own, ■ Many a time in boyhood I have . heard amateur whips*,pay admiring tribute to 'the professionals of an older generation who, for all their • dissolute habits and undonthness, were workmen to the core with hands as gentle as a woman’s. -Bob -Pointer, who taught many Oxford undergraduates how to handle an awkward team, was one of the hard drinkers, but nobody ever’ saw him in "difficulties” to which his skill was not equal. Mis wise -maxims «r? still remembered and worth re* laembering: . j ; "Never let your horses know you 'kto driving them, or, like women, they may get restive. Don’t pull and haul and stick your elbows akimbo. Keep your hands as though you ware playing the piano. Let every horse be at work and' don’ t get flurried. Handle their mouths lightly. Do all this, and you might even drive four young ladies with­ out ever ruffling their feathers or their tempers.” — Henry II. S. Pearse in Outing.- Qalto Water Porter*. 'Around a fountain in one of the principal squares of Quito,assemble every morning tlm city’s aguadores. These water porters differ from the fcs energetic ones of some South American cities in carrying their jars on their backs instead of on the backs of mules. Their earthen jars are deep, have a wide mouth and hold about forty liters, ^ The porter carries it on his shoul­ der fastened with leather straps. He never detaches himself from his jar, either to All it or to transfer its contents to that of his customer.

"•While it is a common theory that, - no matter what the father and hus­ band*may be, the mother and wife must rise superior to her environ­ ments, the fact xemaina that the home is as much the man’s as the woman’s, and he is relieved of hone of his responsibilities because soci-. etyj assigns it to her as her special province. No man has* a right to shirk his. duly to .his children because, per­ chance, he has a good wife, and they have a good mother. The wife and mother rules by love if she rules at aU. The father and.husband may rule by authority as well' as love. Tho wife and mother who finds that her love is losing -its influence over her children requires, but is tqo of­ ten denied, the disciplinary author­ ity of the husband and father*^ Tho wrecks of children may bo traced oftCner to the failure, of the hus­ band to come to tho assistance of tho wife than to any fault o f tho latter.,*:,, „ Too much, wo believe, is. said o f the shortcomings of women in these days. Those mothers and wives who are •neglectful o f their homes con­ stitute the minority. The average American mother is serious, unself­ ish and loving. I f this were not the• case, we Bhotild net have, as we have today, a higher average of young manhood than any other country on earth. The assumption that wives and mothers are mainly to blame for the waywardness of children is neither reasonable nor fair. It is due usually to a few exceptional cases- which, because o f their excep­ tional character, deeply impress the- observer.

' Curious arc tho manifestations of the souvenir microbe. A business man of New York wears on his watch chain a locket in which arp a common button and two slivers of wood.

We often hear the remark thaf some would be cook "cannot boil potatoes.” 'The truth i 1 few* cooks prepare this dish properly, says Al­ ice Dynes Pealing, B. S., in, Ofood^ Housekeeping. The girl who under­ stands science knows that the pota­ to does not hoib The water boils, arid' the heat conveyed by this me- flium cooks the potato. Physic's has taught her that under ordinary pres-•- sure,water never becomes any warm­ er after the boiling point (212 de­ grees P., WO degrees 0 .-) is reached. Therefore she-allows, the water to remain at boiling temperature until the heat has penetrated and cooked the vegetable, She then removes the water at once and has a mealy, flaky potato. True,, without her knowledge of science she might ob­ tain. the same result accidentally, but she is quite as likely, to continue the cooking until the starch is part-. ly dextrinized, and a gummy, sticky' potato is tho result: The unscien­ tific cook, is quite likely to endeavor to hasten the cooking.process, by adding fuel to the fire, thus causing, violent boiling, believing that she is thus attaining her object. She may cause the vegetable to break by the mechanical action of the water, or the liquid may splash.over on the stove or pass off in, steam, but in no case is the cooking, accomplished, in less time, Candlesticks.

EATING FOR PLEASURE. Many Palatable'Articles of Food Thai; Are Most Injurious. Eating for the satisfying o f hun­ ger is a normal act. All living things, plants and animals alike, save man and the brutes ho has de­ bauched, do this as naturally as the winds blow themselves to rest. But eating to still the wanton cravings of the palate is unnatural' and ab­ normal—is a physiological sin. It is no longer sufficient that' food shall bo nutritious and not distaste? fulj it must Be palatable. That is the first requisite, and if it has^ho added virtue of sustaining qualities —well, very good. ‘ Just stop-to think how much of your, food is adapted to satisfy the fancies of the palate without regard for and often to the direct- detri­ ment of the highest efficiency of the food material.

AN ODD COLLECTION, Why a Book Lover Buys Old Bible* and Hymnboofts. ” ‘‘All book collectors have their weaknesses,” remarked a man' who is often seen poring over the'side*' walk counters of secondhand book­ shops, “and mine, I confess, runs in tho line of. old Bibles and hymn- books. Not particularly ' because they are Bibles and hymnboolts, but because I simply can’t stand'it .to. see such books, .tossed about as dusty, almost worthless Secondhand goods. Except in the case of rare old Bibles or quite ancient hymn- books, Buch hooks cost but a trifle. Religious hooks, as a rule, are al­ most unsalable in secondhand shops, and I buy a great many; only, how­ ever, such as contain family names, and inscriptions of pathetic charae-. ter. "My first purchase of the-kind was an Episcopal prayer book, bat- 1 tered and torn, with tho name of an old friend of mine in gilt on the Cover. It gave me a shock to. find it on a secondhand counter, so I paid the required dime and carried, it home. The man ib dead, and his children are living in other cities, well to do. Ifoave no idea, how his prayef hook became public property. People are queer. I offered it to a remote relative of the former own-. er, hut she said she didn’t care abdut it. Since then I have bought in other old family Bibles and hymn- books which ‘belonged to people I had known or which contain inter­ esting written matter.’ It is pitiful to see a Bible inscribed, ‘To my dear son Henry,, from his devoted moth­ er,’ or, ‘Elizabeth, from a loving fa­ ther,’ or, Little William’s birthday gift to Uncle William.’ "When these books come into my hands, I erase or tear out the in­ scriptions, and if my shelf of old Bibles and hymnbooks aver goto started out again as ‘religious junk* it will all he anonymous and want- alga***!*; JU: M lH o4pm tte the Xtoefato Argument Prom Preoecfent, Lincoln was once arguipg a case against an opponent who tried to convince the jury that"precedent is superior to law and that custom makes things legal in all cabs*.
