Round lace handkerchiefs are now
worn around the neck instead of the un.
necessary long lace scarfs.
AS fast as the floods along the Missis-
sippi subside the wicked planters resume
the raising of cane.-Graphic.
Many a child goes astray, not because
home, but simply because home lacks
sunshine.
The Worcester Press speaks of con-
temporary who hires small boy to come
in at intervals with stepladder and dust
off the tops Of his ears.
Lace handkerchiefs are now soaked
in coffee, dried and then vanished with
the white of eggs. After the operation
the handkerchief looks like dish-rag,
but dish-rags of this kind are now very
fashionable.
The sole fashion which should never
change is the fashion set by good taste.
A fashion that is not so set is the fashion
of using artificial flowers where natural
ones can be substituted. On hats or bon
nets the former are, of course, indispensa-
BILE; but they should never be worn in
any other way upon the person. or en-
pi0yed in the decoration of rooms. =
Scribner's for June.
Don't be needlessly hard on man
because he can't see things as you do.
The poor fellow thinks honestly that he
may be right. He does not see how inn
possible it is that you should be wrong,
and what fool he is to think you may be
30. He thinks he may be right, and if so,
how, he asks himself. Is he to answer for
1T he lets you and your error prevail
without a struggle?
"A correspondent writes as follows of
celebrated place in Colorado Canon,
called Echo Park: "When gun is dis
charged, total silence follows the report
for moment; then, with startling sud-
denness, the echo is heard, seeming at
great distance-say five miles to the
south-whence 1t comes back in separate
and distinct reverberations, as if leaping
from glen to glen. Louder and quicker
grows the sound, until apparently directly
opposite, when full volume Of sound is
returned; then once more the echo is
heard, like the swapping of cap, far to
the eastward"
Robert Clark, notorious New York
burglar, entered Fowler's house in Brook
lyn, while the Fowlers were at dinner in
the basement, all but one, WIN. Fowler,
some errand and saw q strange man going
through bureau in the front room. He
stepped into another room and got q
double baveled shotgun and stationed
himself at the front-rOOm door, raised the
gun to his shoulder, and, looking along
the barrel, said: "If you move IN blow
your brains outi" He looked as if he
meant business, too. The boy held the
burglar there with his eye until some of
the rest of the family came to see what
mad become of him. They saw him in
MS warlike attitude, discerned the cause
ana went for policeman. The robber
was captured without bioodshed, and sew
eral articles that had been in the bureau
we're found In his pockets. There was a
clear case against him. The boy had no
appetite for his dinner that day. His
presence OF mind and pluck deserve hon.
orable mention.
