A RoMAN Catholic paper gives a sug-

Of It's church In this country. II publishes

The Sewing Goblin.

The young mother Of family said to
mo not long ago: ~ feel as II my sewing
was q goblin that chases me by day and
haunts nae by night" She looked pale
and tired, and as if she had the neuralgia
bow 1 pitied her | But when saw that
she was covering her little Boys jacket
with soutache embroidery, and that her
bsby's dress had q dozen tucks in It, l
pitied her still, but Il was because abe
seemed TO me the victim OF strange in
tatuAtion. She really felt as II these
things were necessary for her children.
II could not have been because either
child was healthier, happier, or better on
account Of them, but because Everybody
else has them" And 80 she would spend
hours upon hours in STOPPING, unhealthy
position, injuring herself in every way,
and depriying her little ones Of the real
help and joy that she might have been
giving them-to what end I? that the
next mother Of Q family WAC saw her
children might say: mo one wears plain
clothing now; l must embroider my boys
blouse and my girls dress" And there
would be another victim, for whom my
friend would be partly responsible. Now
I would not be understood 10 say that
there Is absolutely no beauty or charm
about these delicate little adornipgs.
They certainly are pretty, and we cannot
help liking them. But what I do say Is
that in most cases we pay for them incal.
culably more'than they are worth. They
have none Of that high, noble beauty
which makes the works Of nature and
those Of true art an Inspiration and Joy.
1t is q conventional prettiness, arising
chiefly, II not wholly, from the mere evil
dence that hours Of labor have been spent
upon them. And for this shall we sacri
fee the freshness and Vigor that would
come from spending some Of those hours
In the open airS-the mental strength and
treasure that we might gain BY giving
some Of those hours 10 thought and

IMPORTS STILL Nor EXCESSIVE
Although there has been revival
of the import trade since the effect
of last winters panic passed away
the amount Of lmportations atthe port
of New York has not been large
comparatively. For the last week
there was an excess of 81, 100000
worth over the corresponding week
Of 1878, but less by nearly $l,000,-
600 than in 1872. For the whole
period from the LIST of January the
amount was S2l6,26l, OH; for the
corresponding period Of 1878 it was
S2I12l5,6l5, and for the ike perio d
Of 1872, $230,7I5, 400 This is
merchandise only and exclusive of
specie. SO far, then, the imports
Of 1874 were over 100000 less
than in 1913, and upwards of $14,-
100000 l>ss than in 1872. With
an augmenting population and a lar
gerincrease ofeXports the balance OF
trade is becoming more favorable.

The American Journalist says ::
<There is truth in the following
extract from a paper read by How
ard Owen, of the kennebec J0.rn-
al, before the recent annual meet
ing Of the Association. of Maine Ed
itors and Publishers:
"There are small country papers
running along on few hundreds
circulation-not reaching Il thou
saud-whose value as advertising
mediums could not be made up by
two or three thousand lii the circu-
latlon of the larger papers. They
are the home, tireside papers OF the
people, to be read and re-read by
then local patrons advertisements
and all. The advertisement itself,
though it may be foreign, becomes
localized by appearing IN the col
umns Of the local paper-just as Il
strange child is adopted into a
family, and is soon loved as one OF
the children. 'ihe same advertise

Two American MAGAZINES,

! The excellence Of American Magazines has
become SO well recognized abroad, that one
of the leading English Papers, the London
/ Weekly Register, in recent issue, thus
speaks of Scribner's Monthly:

taiy artistic polcer. ont of its one and t,oe,stv
original articles really do not knoag wl,ich to
choose as best, fer each and al are ercellent"
Not only is it true that Scribners Monthly
excels the English Magazines, but it is q The
Best Of the American Monthlies."
/ In the extent variety and artistic excel
lence of its illustration of American themes,
it has never been even approached, much less
excelled. 1t has larger page and gives a
greater variety in its contents than any other
of the Standard American Monthlies
in literary character, and in the brilliancv
and ability of its Editorial Departments, it
enjoys an equal prominence.
Its conductors started with the definite
aim of making 1T the best magazine ia tie
agor}d, of which they have never for mo-
ment lost sight, and they point with pride
and pleasure to the May and June numbers,
recently issued and ask for them candid
examination and careful comparison of
their merits with those of other magazines
and they renew their pledge to the public, to
strive for still higher excellence in the future
A considerable demand has recently arisen
in England for st. Nicholas, Scribner's New
