FAMILY DIARY. OF M. DE LESSEPS.
The Great Canal-Maker a Itemarkable
Man-His Hardy Children.
Let me transcribe a passage from a daily
journal It is imaginary, but truthful to
the letter. It is the family diary of ML. de
Laeeeps, The date is. 1885. Entry No. I:
"November 19-Count Ferdinand de Lesseps
celebrates the eightieth anniversary of his
birth." Entry No. 2: Dee. -Mmae. de
Lesepes presents to her liege lord her and
his twelfth child." Of both thees events the
count is wished-and expects-"many happy
returns." Entry No. 3: Dec. 6-Count de
Lesseps goes out for a gallop; his horse
stumbles, throws him to the ground, and
falls upon him heavily. Entry No. 4: Dec. -
This evening Count de Lesseps gives a grand
dinner, being himself in the best of health
and spirits" And yet our English cousins
boast of their "Grand Old Man!" Indeed,
the great canal-maker is a remarkable man.
It is a fine sight to see him in the park
with his family-eleven children, with in no
case more than two years nor less than
fifteen months' difference in the age of two
consecutive scions! And now appears No.

marked the count, joculary, to a friend who
congratulated him upon the advent This is
family-raising reduced to an exact science.
And when you see the eleven drawn hp in
line you notice that their sizes are mathe
matically graduated. Their father intends
that if possible, they shall live to as
good and vigorous an old age as he enjoys
He inures them to hardship. In summer
time he makes them run bare-footed, bare
headed, bare-legged, bare-armed, and, in
fact, as nearly naked as the usages of civiliza
tion allow. And at his country home he
has a fenced-in play-ground for them in
which they spend an hour or two daily in the
original garb of Adam and Eve.
As a result their skins are as tough and
healthy as that of an Indian. They never
catch cold. They are never sick. In these
respects they differ much from most French
children, who, as a rule, are what the Eng
lish would call "coddled" too much. They
are kept indoors. When they do go out
they are overdressed. They never romp
and play like English and German children.
Taken out for a walk, they are ket in lead
ing-strings, and must keep step and walk in
an exact line. They have no liberties, u.o
amusements. As a result they ares tender
as hot-house plants and as artificial And
when they come of age-ah, well! They
make up for lost time, that is .all! It is a
pity the example of the De Lesseps family
Is not imitated throughout France. And
this in the number of children as well as in
the way of bringing them up, for
small families or no children at all is now
the rule in France. In many parts of the
country and in many cities and towns tbhe
oumber of births does not nearly equal that
at deaths, so that the population is decrers

Jewelry of the Present Day.
The foreign manufacturers can not com
pete with the Americans in a good many de
partments of the jewelry trade where hand
made work has been replaced here by deftly
made machinery. In watch chains the
Americans are now ahead of any country;
they get the same effects in a watch chain
a; in a hand-made chain abroad, and the
labor on an old-fashioned watch chain
amounted to a good deal more than the
metal used. Consequently one can now es
timate the standard value of his chain or
other jewelry of gold better than he could
when he paid three-fifths for the labor and
two-fifths for the metal.
Jewelry in the United States is worn by
the multitude, and abroad only by the few;
consequently we make jewelry of thin lfeat
lngsofgo!d with full reference to the dis
play and design, and any one who can
look back thirty years will readily. see
how more versatile and thorough
are the jewelry designs of the present d6y.
Indeed, jewelry has been mad~ so cheap by
the American manufacturers that there is
but little reliance to be placed onornamtnts
as a badge of solvency and distinction. The
designs of the present day are aimed at the
populaoe and not much at the select .
The influence of chemistry on silver ware
is also very noticeable. Plate which was
once the possession of princes has become
the familiar friend of the million. The poor
man's baby can have a very pretty silver
cup or semi-silver cup. Excessively ex
pensive Jewelry is a great burden to some
people; it has to be stored away in flreproot
places or insured, and does not often lo0o
better than platesd ware which gives the
owner no concern about thieves and plmnder

MARRIAGE IN THE EARLY DAYS.
A Raw Justice Perfoerms he Ceremony
In His Own Way.
[Capt. Jack Crawford in N. Y. World.]
Back in the early days, when the ship of
civilization was endeavoring to push its
prow up the valley of the Platte and brawny
workmen were spiking down the rails of the
Union Pacific railroad, the proceedings in
some of the courts of justice were peculiar.
.Lawyers were about as scarce as they are in
the promised laud, and justice, not being pro
vided with the traditional scales, performed
some remarkable guesswork. At that time
I was in the Indian service and for a time
was stationed at Lone Tree, in the beautiful
valley of the Platte. The town consisted of
a half dozen hastily constructed houses, the
majority built of sods. There were a efew
settlers near the town-hardy pioneers who
had taken up government land andwho lived
in constant danger of attack from Satan's
earthly corps, the Sioux.
One of the eccentric characters of the
town was Jimmy Crane, a time-beaten
frontiersman, uneducated, unpolished and,
as a traveling missionary once said, un
godly. His life had been spent west of the
au urn waters of the Missouri, and he
knew as little of the ways of civilization as
an Apache indian knows of the modern plan
of salvation. He was adead shot with the
rifle, an ardent lover of whisky and an ex
pert at draw poker, but aside from these he
had no religious accomplishments worth
speaking of.
Bill Bennett, the justice of the peace in
and for that precinct, had a misunderstand
ing one night with Jerry Manson over the
very important point of wha played low in
a game of seven-up, and after the funeral it
became necessary to elect a man to succeed
him. With that spirit of recklessness which
characterizes the frontiersman and as a rich
joke the boys nominated Jimmy, and, to
carry out the joke, elected him. The high
honor so unexpectedly thrust upon the old
Sman broke him all up, but he at once rose to
the dignity of the position and began to
comb his hair daily. His knowledge of law
and of the duties of his position was limited
-in fact, he didn't know the difference be
tween a writ of replevin and an act of con
gress, and couldn't distinguish a peace war
rant from the ten commandments, but he
assumed the responsibility fearlessly, and
smiled benignly when the boys addressed
him as "Judge."
./
THe WEDDING.
A few days after his installation in'o
office a young couple appeared before him to
be married. Jimmy was in a quandary.
He had never seen the marriage ceremony
performed, but determined to worry
through the embarrassing affair; as he best
could. Bidding th co :p:e to stand before
him, he said:
'Dearly beloved. fe! ow citizens, these
young folks now aprer r before. you to in
dulge in the holiness o' mstermony, accord
in' to Scriptur' an the laws o' this court. If
any of you knows any can e why they
shouldn't make the play, you want to squeal
right at this stage o' the game, or corral
yer jaws on the subject furevermore."
No objection was heard, and the justice
continued:
"Hol' up yer right han'a."
The couple blushingly obeyed.
"Do you an' each of you solemnly sw'ar
that you will marry each other :i the pres
ence o' thisc-ourt; that yout will do the squar'
thing by each other; that you will give
everybody else the go-br, an' cling to each
other through life till death calls upon you
to cash in your earthly checks,' an' that you
will be to each other husban' an' iife, ac
cordin' to the law an' the prophets an' the
rales an' regulations o' this honor'b!e court,
inosieh cawss made an' pervided, so help ye
God?
The couple so sw6re.
Jimmy was sweating profusely over the
exertion, and after scratchinghis head to
collect his thoughe, continued:.
"Then I, James Crane, justice of the
peace, annmounee you as hu.ban' an' wife
now an' furevermore nor;d without end.
.Amen; an' if the stylt don't suit you, you
have the legal right to appeal to the supreme
court at Omaha any time within sixty days.
Now light out, an' me an' the boys '11 go an'
drink yer health."
The couple seemed to be perfectly satisfied,
said walked away hand in hand, their sun
tanned faces -wreathed in smiles of unmis
takable happiness

Children learn too fast. They are crammed
at school, forced in social knowledge and
negletce d at home. The longer it takes a life
to mature the longer it will last and the
stronger will be all its powers. The longer a
child can be kept young and innocent the
more complete will be its development, the
stronger and healthier will be its manhood or
womanlhood. What if it is at school a class
lower than another poor strained, congested
little mind of the same age? What if it is bash
ful and awkward anlong strangers? What if it
tears its clothes and gets dirty? Let it alone
entirely rather than harden it into a prema.
ture manhood, which i3 only an arrested de
velopment. If it can be a healthy, growing,
happy child at 18 all the better. It will be
more likely to live beyond the three score and
ten and to escape suffering during middleage.
Iiealth, strength and beauty are the most
attractive attributes even in society, and the
man or woman who has been a child the long
est will outshine the artificial product of
whom everybody has tired before it was
grown. Parents who think they fulfill a duty
by spurring their children rapidly toward
literary and social knowledge are wofully
mistaken. Any horse breeder can tell them
better. A precocious 6-year-old child is like a
precocious yearling colt. It has done its best,
and at maturity its unnoticed comradewill be
worth twice as much. People do not seem to
understand that an overwrought young nature
can not gc on developing. The process pro
vents development.
The race will never reach its best until the
children are kept youngand growing as long
as possible. If animal life lasts but- three
ti:nes as long as it takes to mature, a human
being whose growth is stopped at 15 or 16 will
probably die before 50 or if it does not die its
forces will be exhausted, in which caseit were
better dead. Insteqd of being proud of pre
cocity, a parent ought rather to fear it as if it
were a deadly disease.-Kansas City Times.
Changes Wrought Ia Fifty Years.
In domestic life the change wrought by the
last fifty years is even more wonderful than
that brought about in public affairs and gen
eral business. Ask a woman what most she
counts upon fair comfort in housekeeping,
and she would hardly be able to decide be
tween a Happy Thought range and a friction
match; between a sewing machine and a pa
per of solid-headed pins; between the coal
that has supplanted wood, and the kerosene
that has supplanted the tallow candle, The
life of a housekeeper fifty years -ego was a
toilsome. and never-cnd!ding round of sewing,
spinning, knitting, alternating with cooking,
dipping candles and making soap. Now even
the butter and the cheese are made at facto
ries, and all fabrics are woven in the
power looms by steam. Not even a can of
peaches or tomatoes on our table! We had
not learned to eat tomatoes, and tropical
fruits were a luxury, only read about it in
the weekly newspaper. Now the banana is
almost as easily procured by'poor families as
are apples, and oranges are frepuently a glut
in the market.
But this is nothing compared to our own
gardens. Fifty years ago our strawberries
were to be gathered in tiny morsels from the
wild pastures; our raspberries grew in fencd
corners, and all small fruits were really in
significant, inferior and scarce. Our potato
of today is a thing of culture, superb and
luscious, compared with what our fathers ate.
The Seckel, Sheldon and Bartlett pears are a
marvel of the creative skill' of our horticul
ture. And what can be said to do justice to
the fact that by the simple process of canning
we can have the choicest sununer vegetables
and fruits in mid-winter! It is not saying too
much to say that no dream of a fairy's palace
and of magic, could; in 1836, have pictured as
fair a scqne as . is fulfilled in every home of
1886.-.8-. tLouis Globe-Democrat.
How They Get Married In England.
The ltlmt thing in English fall weddings is
for the bridemalds to carry bunches of grapes
in place of flowers. If the weddingis in
church the bride is led to the altar by her
iathaer or next fried, although some of the
midwinter brides are to be given away by
their mothers, after the fashion of her maj
esty, Queen Victoria. Forthetravelingdremss
at this season there is nothing much prettier
than a jlain suit of homespun, with a jacket
-to match, trimmed with fur, ed a neat vel
vet or felt bonnet. Such aostrome is really
more pleasing to a lady of del~cate and retir
ing nature, who does not care to advertise the
happy event at every stopping-place.
There is a growing preference that the
father or other escort shall not entirely re
linquish the bride until the answer to the
question, "Who giveth this woman to be mar
ried to this man!" is made, with the rzsonse,
"The bridegroom receives her.' Thisis cer

A Piece of Ueas.ble Advice.
Never go out of the hbee until you have
eaten some thing, is very sensible advice. It
is constantly reiterated by parents who have
the physical welfare of thelrchildreiat heart,
whether they live in smalreil distriets or In
salubrious localities. Thissage pecept is cred
ited to an ancient Arabian philosopher, who
said: "M}y son, go not out of the house in the
niaening till thou hast eaten something; by so
doing thy mind will be more firm; and
llouidlt thou be insulted by' any person, thou
wilt finadthyself more disposed to smaer pa
tiqntly; for hunger dries up and disorders the
lrain."
hunger diminishes the bodily strength, thus
Irritattegenfeeblinug the mind. It study

have the room warm and some light food pre
pared tortho student. Irritability is often
the.s.lt oS;hunger. Some persons, who are
aatmrally amiable, will become disagreeable
snarers when they are hungry. A dear old
lady once told me that in the course of her
life she had always traced every feeling of ir
ritability to hunger. The instant she felt the
sligltest inclination to be dissatisfled with
matters and things she immediately had
something to cat, and thus averted disagree

The Increased Demand for Heip.
When stationary washtubs were unknown,
when every drop of water must bedrawn
from well or cistern, when spices must be
pounded, sugar drushed and eggs or cream
whipped by hand, the active housekeeper who,
even with a large family, kept more than one
maid, was. phenomenally rare Now, with
hot and cold water pipes, set tubes, bowls and
Kinks. dumb-waiters, carpet~eweepers, and
p.wnct egg-beaters, the demand for help has
incre. ied. Not only the heavier work of
cooking, w.shing nnd ironing must be taken
in charge By the Teutonic or Hibernian im
portation, but the more delicate culinary oper
aionts and tue daintier parts 'of homsework,
the care of dining-roota, bed-rooms and par
lor, are too frequently given over to her care.
Query: How muchl has been gained by the
changet No woman who can avoid it should
make herself meore household drudge. But
ii thlqre not aj ustmxedinm between her devot
ing herself so entirely to minor duties thatashe
has wither tnime nor ilination for anything
else and her yielding up these 'same ,cares so
completely that she loses much of the delight
of home-making both for herself and her
family--Christine Temhune Herrick.

A Hint to Anxious Parents.
However it may be with themselves, parents
want their children to- be better than they
were last year. Why not take a turn, then,
at trying to enlarge the bump of veneration
on their craniums? The difference betweem a
crude, raw turnip and a rare ripe peach is not
so great as the difference between a flipphat,
conceited, shallow-souled boy, and one hal
lowed by the first fu.hing sense of a deed at
a character high enough to command his rev
erence, Trying to teach others always car.

with a ray of conscience inside. It makes
them feel they must manage themselves to
keep ay least one lesson ahead of the pupil.

A Girl and Her Seniors.
When a girl is pert and bold toward her
seniors, the reason may be because she has not
been perfectly trained; but when sho is over
bearing and unkind toward servants or work
people, I am afraid it is because she has not a
good heart. Perhape, however, it is only be
cause she is thoughtless--Youth's Corn.

A Novel eSheme to Hold the Boy.
The aristocratic ladies' fashion of leading
or dragging pug dogs, mastiffs or grey
hounds along the crowded streets having in
measuresubsided, an fiigeniousdevotee of new
ideas has practically iecured an acceptable
substitute, furnishing at the sametime a com
plete answer to the long-vexed question as tc
what shall be done with the small boy. A tall
lady, fashionably attired, attracted gregh at
tention recently as she walked down Cheitnut
stredt, apparently indifferent to the curious
stares of the 'pedestrians.
The lady who was theobjeetof so muah at
tention was absorbed in the task of holding a
heavy gold chain, with a bright little :boy
circled about the neck, at the other end of it.
The little fellow was dressed in 'a dark plush
suit, with turban to match, and did not ap
pear to be disconcer~d. When the ad ad
vanced too far in the burging crowd a sudden
tugging would warn him that the end of the
chain had been reached, and he would refun.

THE BALTIMORF .9If OtlC ItOAD.
°t".-- r:. of the 'Cat at Gsry's W'erry itsraid,
RILAvEI.PHIA, Jan. 27.-The subject stl'
igitaiipg railroad cirle.T is the eritrance of
tit Ih:timnore and Ohio railroad into New
York ':t , vi., Stat n Island. Th only way
of approach se.mced heretafore to Le thraegh
Jorsey City. But it.wid seem a strange faot
to tmany of our readers` that every'foot of
the Jersey City tater font is already owhed"
by rairoad companies, ithich are, of course,
hostile to the en.rance of the Lattimore and
Ohio.
There are many whq will welcome the Bal
timore and Ohio to New York. To get there
it was nece sary for this' popular road to
build a new linefrom Philadelphia to New
'Sork. 'Ihe picture ws the wo:k at
Ora7'si Ferry road Phlidehilsl At the
point named the new lin croses the Schurl
kill. Here is a lone out, tunneling under
Gray's Ferry road. The cut at its deepest is
thirty feet ' he Baltimore and Ohio line
passes under the Pennsylvania Railroad
bridge .and through the grounds of the
arsenal and naval asylmn. It also cuts the
groundiof the old Harmar mansion, where
Thom~, Jefferson lived when he was secre
tary of State. In Philadelphia proper another
tunnel leads the road under Twenty-fifth
street' to Pennsylvania avenue
TRaoVaiT TO NEW YORE-THa BALTIXORn
AND OHIO.
The Baltimore and Ohio company had the
greatest diflfiulty in getting the right of
way tlirou-h Philadeiplp .: Money and in.
nuence sought to stop them; and was for
some. time successtu. The road .t lengtl
has bieorme too b'g a thing to sto:', however,
and now it goes threough the Quaker City.
'In connection with the Staten Island end
of the iine, our rewvlers will have noticed the
name of Mr. Erastus Wiman "bobbing up
serenely" in the newspapers with consider
able regularity of lae. The greatest effort
of hisjife was his argument before the com
mittees of the two houses of congress in
favor of bridging Arthur Kill. This is the
name of the strait
between Staten
Is:and and New
Jersey over which
the drawlridge of
the Baltimore and
Ohio is to pass.
Being a matter be
tween two states
the consent of the
United States gov
ernment is nediss
sary to accomplish
the scheme. Mr.
Wlman's argument
' - was a mqrTlgludy
a W . o able and brilliant
one, and will call
attention still more to the rising railroad
king. Hon. William Walter Phelps made
the opposing argument.
He started in life a poor country boy. He
was born in Peel county, New York state,
in 1834. His parents removed to Toronto,
Cjnada, when he was very young. He
never had any education except what he got
in the; public schools,' and that closed early.
But by sheer force of brain and will he made
his way in the world. - He chose the printer's
trade As an apprentlee he was an earnest,
steady worker. He: shiowedr the same vim
that he now manifets in the larger walks.
From- being a compositor he took the man
agement of a commercial news room.
He founded a comic weekly, and met his
fadlikenln a -
Te, having recovered from that blow,
he entied G-! .. Dun & Co.'s commercial
agency, as their Montreal manager. This
