man: Would you show yourself really
good to your daughters? Then be gen

them for independence first, and then la
Dor to give it to them. Let them, as soon
as ever they are grown up, have some lit
tie money, or means Of making money,
to be their own, and teach them how to
deal with it, without needing every mo
ment somebody to help them. Calculate
what you give them or will bequeath to
them, not as is usually done, on the
chances of their making rich marriage.
but on the probability Of their remaining
single, and according to the scale of liv-
ing to which you have eaccustomcd them.
Suppress their luxury now if need be,
but do not leave them with scarcely bare
neccssarics hereafter, in striking contrast
to their present home. Above all, hclp
them to help themselves. Fit them to
bc!ablc to add to their own means, rather
than to be forever; pinching and ccono-
mizing till their minds are narrowed and
their hearts are sick. Give all the cul-
ture you can to every power which they
may possess. Ifthey should marry after
all, ,8they will be the happier and the bet
terfor it. If they should remain among
the million of the unmarried, they will
bless you in your grave, and say of YOU,

/ usually stands; here it can always he low
cred on to the wogon in two minutes and
it is out Of the way and safe from injury.
1t is necessary to have four rings on the
wagon-boN, one near each corner, two
short ropes and two long ones; and two
small pulleyblocks fastened to the beams
overhead. The short ropes arc tied to
the rings, each crossing one end of the
wagon-boN. There should be loop in
the middle of each of these short ropes,
to which the long ropes can be tied or
hooked.S When the wagon is backed into
the proper place the ropes are fastened to
the wagon-boX, and each end of the box
is hoisted a few feet alternately Gf there
is only one person to pull it up until it
is high enough. The ropes are fastened
around clcats fixed to the wall of the

THE CROUp AND ITS TREATMENT
This disease causes death by suflocation.
The entrance Of the windpipe is very
small little cold causes the lining of
the part called the mucous membrane to
swell. Fhi" dimishes the opening, which
is made smaller still by what is called
submucous infiltration--that is, this mu-
cous membrane, being intlamed, throws
out an extra amount of fluid, like the
eye, when it is infamed. This fluid
hardcns and forms Mt length kind of
layer which is sometimes of an almost
leatllery toughncss; increasing in thick
ness until the orifice is so nearly closed
that the breath is obstructcd. Nau-
seating medicines dilute this formation

cools the parts and diminishes the

| Notwithstanding fringc,in laccs arc SO
lavishly used, there is Il fine style found
i'll the untrimMcd garments that makes
them popular. There are ovcrSkirts and
polonaises Of the richest frabcs that are
merely hcmmcd or faced, and thus the
purchaser can afford to invest more
money in the material of her suit.
Muffs are made to match the new cos
tunes. Dresses of brocadcd velvet and
silk have mufls Of the velvet ornamentcd
with small bouquets of flowers. Feather
mufls, exceedingly light, small and warm,
are also shown to match the feather bor-
bers of costumes. Wide ruchcsarc made
of feathers that are stripped from the
stems, and sewcdsOn straight instead of
being curlcd There is then a mufl to
match. These muns arc very handsome

Ofall garments that have grown longer,
cloaks show the most decided increase in
length. The long pclisses and basquincs,
nearly fitted to the figure, ARE revived for
cloth cloaks, while long French sacqucs
with loose backs arc used for those of
silk that arc lined with sfur. Dolmans
are also longer, and have ample sleeves
from the elbows to the wrist. There are
other new wraps that resemble the double
capes o. two years ago, but which have
the fronts turned up to form sleeves.
New jackets of figured camcPs hair have
closed sleeves with outside page sleeves
hanging long and square, and showing Il
lining of velvet.
New wedding dresses arc Of soft. lustre-
less faillc, trimmed with Il gallon of white
tulle, wrought with pearls, and also with
picot crcpciissce that is scalloppcl and
finished with a narrow "purl cdging"
braid. These dresses have square court
trains, elaborate tablcrs, and cuirass
basques. The flowers arc white crushed
roses and .cgkintine. Fichus and scarf
sashes arc on other wedding dresses, and,
OH the, tulle dresses of bridesmaids.

skirt that is one-sidcd, or made to look so
by being draped higher on the right side

finds most favor here are those that have
very deep aprons, reaching quite to the

are now very much trimmed, and the
most popular one Of all has large upright

abundantly, yet the fashion of tying the

is massed behind.
Sleeves are also very much trimmed
this season. There is less shirrine and

why Professional Men are Thrirtless

The laborer who has saved money is
better fitted, perhaps, than any one to
employ to advantage the kind of labor
in which he himself is vcrsed. But the
lawyer or the author who has saved
money has no way open to him of turn
ing, at the same time, both his knowledge
and his money to account by the success
full employmcnts Of the talents of other
lawyers or other authors in undertakings
like unto his own. Perhaps, indeed
something ofsthis kind happens when a
popular author like Dickens turns editor,
and collects around him a staff of clever
writer's, who admire his genius and are
even disposed to copy his mannersms.
But the case is exceptional, and as rule
it so seldom turns out that the very sue
cessful author happens to have the quail
tiles of successful editor and journalist.
that exceptions of this kind may be nut

+ No doubt one of the great reasons why
professional men are, on the whole, 50

this-that the occupation which absorbs

Two Christians Travelled down q road,
Who viewed the wurll with different eyes
The one was pleased with cart!'s abode,
The other longing for the skies
For one the heavens were So blue,
They filled his mind with fancies fond;
The others eyes kept piercing through
Only for that which lies beyond.
For one, enchanting we " the 'rces,
The distance was di' .rcly dim,
The birds that iluttl.cd o.: the breeze
Nodded their pretty heads for himI
The other scarcely saw the flowers,
And never knew thctrccs were grand
lie did bnt count the days AMI hours,
Till he might reach the promised land.
And ono, a little kind c;,ress
Would to 4 tender rapture move;
He only ope,d his lips TO bless
The God who gave him things to love.
The other journeycd on his way
Afraid to handle or TO touch
lie only opctl his lips to pray
lie might not love Il thing too much
Which was the hest. Drcdcwho can,
Yet why Shoulh VIC dce,ic 'twiNt them?
We may approve tho mournful man,
Nor yci the joyful man condemn.

That earth, as well as heaven, is sweet,
Nor less is he who, hcavcn-bound,
Has spurncd the earth beneath his feet.

The Curiositics or Fever Infection.

party in London, as many as eight or ten

linfcction must have been catight at the

affected with the disorder. Was the dis

Was it conveyed in the tablc-linrn from

corporatcd in the cream that had been
used in the dessert? An Investigation
on these and other points, rs We under,

to be the most likely vehicle OF infcc-

box, containing all her worldly goods,

weeks at station on the Speyside rail

removing it by II cart to her mothers

romping about, conducted thcire gambols

down with scarlet fever At length the
fatal kist was conveyed to its destination,
and the contents were dispersed among
friends and ncighbors Tile donations
were kindly meant. but they proved
fatal. No precautions had been taken to
