Hints on Shopping.

1t is poor economy-or, rather, no
economy at ALTO purchase inferior
fabrics because they are cheap. Per-
sons in limited circumstances often
commit this error. If n calico at ten
cents a yard looks about as well as one
at twelve or fifteen cents, the prudent
purchaser will often think it economy to
choose the low-priced goods. As it is
low-priced, she may indulge in n yard
or two more for ruffie or bias folds, fiat
tering herself that cheap ornamentation
is an equivalent for fine quality. This
mistake may be seen permeating the en-
tire wardrobes of many sensible people.
The result is simply this : They never
have anything of really good quality,
are always shabby and always buying.
None but rich people can afford to buy
poor goods. This rule applies to all
sorts of goods-muslins, cloths, carpets
and table linen. We grudge the time
we see women spend in making up mus
Inns of low grade for underclothing.
There are so many stitches in n shirt.
And when it lasts one year instead of
two, as it should, there is Just twice as
much work done as need be. Better
make three shirts of fine quality of
muslin than six of lower grade of mus
lin. Just so in hannels. A fifty-cent
all-wool Shaker flannel will wear two or
three times as long as fimsy cotton and
wool stuff few pennies cheaper. Es-
pecially in family of children, fabrics
should be chosen for service that when
made up they may descend from one
child to another, thus saving the mother
time to stitch into her brain little en-
broidery of thought and culture. A few
rules with regard to shopping itself may
be in place {: First, have list of arti-
cles to be purchased made out in black
and white. BY this means you will be
saved from sudden temptation to buy
what is not really necessary, and forget
nothing that You require. Second, deal
only with merchants in whose business
integrity You can confde. Third, in the
long run one always does better to buy
at one and the same place than to run
about for the purpose of hunting up
bargains. A regular customer can
often get favors denied to an occasional
purchaser. Fourth, never buy what
you don't want simply because it is
cheap.

A MAN, like watch, is to be valued
for his goings.
"I GO through my work reprovingly,"
said the needle to the idle boy. But
not till you're pushed through" tri-
umphantly replied the boy to the
needle.
AN Irishman quarreling with an En-
glishman told him if he didn't hold his
tongue he would break his impenetra-
BILE head and let the brains out of his
empty skull.
"WAs it your oldest daughter,
madam, that was bitten by monkey ?"
"No, sir, it was my youngest. My
oldest daughter had worse misfortune;
she married monkey"
A FINISHED coquette at ball asked
gentleman near her, while she adjusted
her tucker, whether he could firt fan
which she held in her hand. "No,
madam" he replied, "but can fan a
hirt."
"WHY," asked governess of her lit
tie charge, "do we pray God to give us
our daily bread Why don't we ask for
four days, or five days, or week ?"
"We want it fresh" replied the inge-
NOUS child.
AN Irishman was hunting on gen.
tleman's estate, when the owner came
suddenly upon him. Said the poacher
1.-THE top o the morning to ye! What
brought your honor out so early, sure ?"
Indeed, Paddy, strolled out to see if
L could find little appetite for my
breakfast" and questioned suspiciously,
Now, Paddy, what brought you out so
early?" Indeed, your honor, L just
strolled out to find breakfast for my
appetite"
AN enraptured Texas editor thus
gives his impressions of the opera
1.-The aroma of violets exudes from it as
though every note were an odorous
petal whose exquisite scent is carried to
the finer nerves of the brain upon the

into being again, until the soul is wrap
ped in mantle of sensuous delight that

Methods of Drinking Water.

The natives of Kamtschatka, when
first discovered by Russian sailors, were
probably the only nation on earth who
drank nothing but water yet, as if to
compensate for this, they enjoyed their
one beverage i'll manner not dreamed
of in civilized countries, carrying their
drinking capacity to an extent which
makes one shudder to think of. They
commenced to drink water even before
eating, taking nearly two quarts before
their first meal so they continued dur
ing the day, and, when night came, their
last labor was to place huge vessel of
water by their bedside, and to fill it
brimful with snow and ice. Next
morning the bucket was empty. The
Lap and the Greenlanders, on the
other hand, prefer it warm. Both ma
tions keep a large copper kettle, or,
where such luxuries are still unknown,
ponderous vessel of wood, adorned
with bone knobs and hoops, constantly
boiling. A large, well-carved spoon is
ever ready, and from morn till night
the thirsty natives are drinking the
nauseous liquid.

Is Your Wife Nervous and Fretful!

This is certainly very wrong of her.
No doubt she will plead her thousand
and one cares and vexations, but all that
certainly gives her no right to disturb
her lords peace and comfort. Let me
whisper in your ear / think can sug-
gest scheme that will make her
ashamed of this irritability. Try upon
her the tenderness of the honeymoon.
Don't think to make her happy with a
brocade or a new carriage but when
you come home, bring with you her
favorite flower-show her in hundred
ways that she is in all your thoughts.
This is the medicine that will cure her
Try love in large and repeated doses.

A Romance in Real Life.

A genuine romance in real life has
been enacted here. During the time of
the Paris Exhibition a Brooklyn photo
grapher sent over to the exhibition a
number of photographs MS types of fe-
male beauty. Among them was pho
tograph of Kate Louise Parks, many
years known in Brooklyn for her beauty.
Her father, VIM. Parks, is very wealthy.
Count Daniel DeBois Montgallie saw
the Brooklyn bellies portrait at the Paris
Exposition, and was at once smitten.
A year or two afterward Miss Parks
went to Paris. At court reception to
which she obtained admittance Count
DeBois Montgallie saw her, recognized
the original of the photograph, told her
of the circumstance, and protested his
love. On returning to this country
she informed her father of her love for
the French Count. The cruel "parient,
who cared little for titles, frowned on
the projected alliance, and refused to
give his consent. She, however, kept
up secret correspondence with her adj
mirer. A short time ago he came over
here and tried in person to move the
girls father to relent. 1t was in vain,
however. Not to be thwarted, the
lovers proceeded last night to the resi-
dence of Bishop Laughlin, the Catholic
Bishop of Brooklyn, and were married
in the presence of the French Consul
NeU York Letter.

no grain of matter lost. The world may
come to an end, and yet nothing be de-
stroyed. And if lite, sentient life, be as
immortal as the objects all around it,
some home will be provided for its oc-
cupation, even though every present orb
should cease TO exist. New worlds may
come into being from the still uncon-
densed nebule, and new homes for new
races of men go spinning around new
suns.-F w. Clarke, IN Apl1letons'

MILKING Nor "MADE EASY. Says
the Utica Herald, "The man who
thought anybody could milk COW don't
think so any more. He bought a COW
yesterday, and last evening took new
tin pail and raisin box, and started for
the stable. He revolved out OF the
stable through window in just three
minutes. At the same time the tin pail
was heard wandering among the rafters,
and the raisin box came bounding out
of the door. The hired girl made a
reconnaissance in force, and reported that
the COW was standing on her horns, so

For we both agreed in doubling whether mstrimony

And she said her young affections were quite bound

So we laughed at those wise men who say that
friendship cannot live
'Twixt man and woman, unless each has something

We would be friends, and friends true as o'er

We scorned all sentimental trash--vows, kisses, tears
and sighs;
We liked each other, that was well, quite all there
was 10 say,
So we just shook hands upon 1t, IN business sort
of way.
We shared secrets and our joys, together hoped
and feared
With common purpose sought the goal that young
ambition reared;
We dreamed together of the days, the dream-bright
We were strictly confidential, and we called each
other "chum.'
And many a day we wandered together DER the

To run in with their waterfalls, and groves, and
summer skies.
And many quiet evening, in hours of full release
We foated down the river, or loafed beneath the
trees,
And talked in long gradations from the poets to the
weather.
While the western skies and my cigar burned slowly
out together.
Yet through it all no whispered word, no tell-tale
glance or sigh,
Told aught of warmer sentiments than friendly
sympathy.
We talked of love as coolly as we talked of Nebul@
And thought more of being one than we thought
of being three.

For although were but friends, tis hard for

"Good-by, old fellow! don't forget your friends
beyond the sea,
And some day, when you've lots of time, drop a line

The words came lightly gaily, but great sob just

Welled upward with a story of quite different kind
And then she raised her eyes to mine great liquid

Perhaps the tears meant friendship, but I'm sure

The Deacon's Prayer.
BY WILLIAM o. 9opDARD.


In the regular evening meeting
That the church holds, every week,
One night a listening angel sat
To hear them pray ana SPEAK.
IL puzzled the soul OF the angel
Wny some to that gathering came,
But sick and sinful hearts he saw,
With grief and guilt afame.
They were silent, but said to the angel
sour lives have need of HtmP't
While doubt, with dull, vague, throbbing
stirred through their spirits dim. Z,
You could see twas the regular meeting,
And the regular seats were filed,
Aud all knew who would pray and talk,
Though any one might thai Wlllea.
From his place in front, near the pulpit,
I'm his long-accustomed way,
When the Book was read, and the hymn
was sung, r-tt
The Deacon arose to pray.
First came the long preamble
If Peter had opened so,
He had been, ere the Lord his prayer had
heard, A
Then a volume of information f
Poured forth, as If to the Lord, .=
Concerning His ways and attributes,
And the things by Him abhorred.
Butnot in the list of the latter, A@-
Was mentioned the hooking breath
VI the hypOcrite prayer thatis not prayer,
And the make-belieye life in death.
Then he prayed for the church; and the
pastor;
And that 'souls might be his hire"-
Whatever his stipend otherwise
And the sunday school; and the choir;
And the swarming hordes of India;
And the perishing, vile Chinese;
And the millions who bow to the Pope OF
Rome;
And the pagan churches of Greece;
And the outcast remnants of judah,
OF whose guilt he had much to tell
lie prayed, or he told the Lord he prayed
For everything out of Hell.
Now, If all of that burden had really
Been weighing upon his soul,
'Twould have sunk him through to the
China side,
And raised hill over the hole.
Twas the regular evening meeting,
And the regular prayers were made,
But the listening angel told the Lord
That only the silent prayed.
