Being Ladyhke.

we all know, says a writer. that being
''unladylike" is the phrase, but, then,
what Is being ladylike? In what does
tins ladylikeism consist, which is striven
after by so many? This is a question
which does not bear much talking about !:
like plum, the bloom comes off even as
we handle it; it is a difficult task to define.
though not. perhaps, to feel. 1t may be
an Old-fashiOned, even an almost obsolete.
prejudice, but ! am inclined to think that
a tdy doing any mortal thing that is con-
Yenlent and necessary, and which is also
hitting that as woman she should do, is
truly ladylike; and. further, that any one
who is ashamed to do this is not quite wor-
thy to be so considered. 1t is to be feared.
however, that this view of the word is fast
dying out, for nowadays it seems that to
DO anything that woman should not do
to be masculine, loud, INDEPENDENTS
considered 1.-THE thing" but to be simply
useful, to be Independent i'm the way of do
ing just what comes TO hand without wor-
rying about what ''people think" is, alas!
by many considered as singularly unlady-
like and wanting in style. Women such
as these last are, unfortunately. brought
into disrepute by and COMPOUNDED with
those who affect to despise and think little
of the worlds opinion, setting it at nought.
as it were. by an affectation of independ-
ence, but who would. nevertheless. be the
last TO make themselves really useful.
With such as these before the ewes. one is
almost inclined to make excuses for that
phase of vulgarity. fire lady
ism. which, foolish and ridiculous as it is. |
IS less Objectionable by many degrees than |
the boldnesS OF our present manners.

Sad Result of a Practical Joke.

young man went into Princes saloon
Friday evening. and called for "A glass of
liquor. Ii was handed to him and then he
dropped little powdered magnesia in it
from a paper. swallowed the whole DELHI
erately, and placing the glass down looked
the attentive Prince in the eye, and said !:
Il have poisoned myself" "What?''
screamed the Mortified saloon. keeper. II
have poisoned myselfr' repeated the young
man in tragic tone. In an instant Mr..
Prince had bounded TO his side; in the next
instant he had him on the floor. and man
sent for doctor. The young man strug-
gled to release himself, and protested that
it was all joke. Mr.. Prince was too old
and too educated a man to be deluded by
such articles. Immediate remedies were
called for. Some one suggested a raw egg,
and one was procured, and there being no
time to bother with a glass, and the victim
10 the poison writhing to degree that
made holding him an almost impossible
undertaking, it was administered i'm the
shell, and so adroitly broken that two
thirds of it went into his shirt bosom. A
bottle of sweet oil was next emptied into
him, his head was brisklv rubbed, hot
cloths applied to his chest, and his back
warmed with a billiard cue. Then DIR.
Miles arrived took in the situation at a
glance, applied a stomach pump, and with
in five minutes the Righteousness and other
things in that young man were extracted.
On getting to his feet he instinctively felt
in his hip pocket for his handkerchief. and
appeared to be much surprised to find it
there. He left the saloon vOwing VEN
geance against Mr.. Prince and his anxious
and earnest helpers. But the story was
too much for him the next day and he
quietly disappeared from town.-DaabaIy

Use of Flowers.


Many persons fancy they love flowers,
they certainly like their effective use. They
/ like bouquets, and baskets OF hot-hOuse
bloom. they like flowers to adorn the per-
! son and the table, to decorate the altar and
the tomb, but have no pleasure in their
growth. The student of nature, on the
other hand, who loves flowers, not only de-
lights IN their decorative use. but also in
his own achievements. He sees the beauti-
tuI blossom in the tiny seed when he COM
mlts it To the earth, eXults in its germina-
ton, watches with tender interest the de-
yelOpment of leaf and stem. bud and flow
er, is more than happy in fulfilling the con-
ditiOns of growth. studies its habits and pc
culiarities, the delicate Organization of all
its tissues, the subtle web of leaf and petal,
and at last when it stands before him with
its browning glory, he can truly say it has
been TO him Joy at every stage of its adj
vance. Such person is privileged to sit
at royal banquets of which the former class
have scarcely heard. Nature is ever true
to Us as well as to herself, and those who
love her much cannot well be false. The
story of PicciOla is only strongly drawn
picture OF the pleasure experienced by those
who have genuine regard for her work.
FondneSs for flowers is not given to pro-
fessi0nal gardeners alone, nor yet to
women. or poets. but cheers the heart re-
gardless Of condition. 1t often throws a
bit of bright color into the poorest and mar
rowcst life, and sometimes, like garlands
wreathing a stately column. it adorns the
highest ambitions and nObleSt purposes.
We may not become enthusiasts. but we
may have much enjoyment in our laborj
and the taste that Is slight may be i'm
proved by cultivation.
