Hints on Shopping.

1t is poor economy-or,
rather, no economy at ALTO
purchase inferior fabrics because
they are cheap. Persons in
limited circumstances often
commit this error. If a calico
at ten cents a yard looks about
as well as one of twelve or ff-
teen cents, the prudent pur-
chaser will often think it econ
omy to choose the low-priced
goods. AS it is low-priced, she
may indulge in a yard or two
more for ruffles or bias folds,
flattering herself that cheap Or
namentation is an equivalent
for fine quality. This mistake
may be seen permeating the
entire wardrobe of many sensi-
bic people. The result is sim
ply this they never have any
thing ofreally good quality, are
always shabby, and always buy
ing. None but rich people can
afford to buy poor goods. This
rule applies to all sorts ofgoods

Penny Microscopes.

An obscure Englishman has
anticipated Yankee genius in
cheapening this beautiful and
useful instrument, for the bene-
fit of the million. There is a
man who sometimes stands in
Leicester Square, London, says
Household Words, who sells
microscopes at a penny each.
They are made of a common
pill-box, the bottom taken out
and a piece Of window-glass
substituted. A small eye-hole
is bored in the lid, and thereon
is placed the lens, the whole
apparatus being painted black.
These microscopes are fully as
effective as much more costly
instruments sold in the shops.
An eminent microscopist, who
examined some of them, found
that their magnifying power
was twenty diameters. The
cost Of a lens made of glass, of
such a power, would be seventy
five cents Or a dollar. On cut
ting one of them in two, it ap-
peared that the lens was made
of Canada balsam, a transpar-
ent gum. The balsam had been
heated, and carefully dropped
into the eye-hole of the pill
box. 1t then assumed the
proper size, shape, transparency,
and polish of a very well ground
glass lens. The ingenious mi
croscopist has made and sold
these cheap little instruments
for fifteen years.

A Beautiful Experiment.

The following beautiful chem
ical experiment may be easily
performed by a lady to the
great astonishment of a circle
at her tea party. Take two OF
three leaves of red cabbage, cut
them into small bits, put them
into a basin, and pour a pint
of boiling water on them; let il
stand an hour, then pour it of
into a decanter. 1t will be a
fine blue color. .Then take four
wine glasses; into one put six
drops of strong vinegar; into
another six drops of solution Of
soda; into the third a strong
solution of alum, and let the
fourth remain empty. The
glasses may be prepared some
time before, and the few drops
of colorless liquid that has been
placed in them will not be no
ticed. Fill up the glasses from
the decanter, and the liquid
poured into the glass contain
ing the acid will become a
beautiful red; the glass contain
ing the soda will become a fine
green; that poured into the
empty one will remain un-
changed. By adding a little
vinegar to the green It will i'm
mediately change change to
red, and on adding a little So
luton Of soda to the red it will
assume a fine green, thus show
ing the action Of acids and al
kalis on vegetable blues.

time we see women spend in

is just twice as much work done

flannel will wear two or three
times as long as your flimsy
cotton and wool stuff a few
pennies cheaper. Especially
in a family of children, fabrics
should be chosen for service
that when made up they may
descend from one child to an
other, thus saving the mother
time to stitch into her brain a
little embroidery Of thought and
culture. A few rules with re-
gard to shopping itself may be
in place. First-Have a list of
articles 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 re-
quire. 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 run about
for the purpose of hunting up
bargains. A regular customer
can often get favors denied to
an occasional purchaser. Fourth
buy what you don't
want, simply because it is
cheap.
