this article by the person in question, and
shows that there is such thing n culti-
waiting body even after it has been per-
mitted to grow up in womanhood under
untavorable circumstances. "Now, re-
garding your dress ?" was asked. "Oh,
l do not bother my head much about
dress" she replied. ~ always wear
black upon the stage, and eonfne my
self to n travelling dress aud the one in
which lecture, with perhaps silk po-
lonaise or n sleeveless jacket for change.
No one expects me to dress much, and |
do not have it to think about" Happy
woman The constant and haiassing
changes in dress keep women indoors cut
ting, sewing, pulling their heads over
this new style and that new trimming.
when they ought to be out of doors or do
ing their own houseworl.
Rctrimming, altering over, is the bcte
',oir Of almost every woman's life, and
yet moro trimming is continually piled
on and more ianciful designs selected.
1t is hard, it said, to teach an old dog now
tricks, and perhaps it will be difficult to
get women who have become habituated
to groaning and sewing and headaches to
relinquish any of them but surely better
things may be hoped of tho girls-from
those who are to take the rein in their
hands and guido the next generation.
There is a great deal of pluck and cour-
age in the American girl of the period.
and il she can be made at once to see that
her beauty and her strength and her Gu
pacity and her genius and her womanhood
are too valuable to throw away upon
tcoter that goes perpctually up and down
sometimes bringing up the longs, some
times tho shorts, vibrating between plnit-
ings and rui,lngs and ruilles and plait-
ings, sho will throw them aside altogcth-
or and leave them to take their chance
with those to whom such things are ull
there is of life.
But, dear young lady if you have body
| beg of you to take care of it, because,
rs you will some day find out, good, bad,
or indifferent, you can have but that ono
and whatever it is, it is susceptible of inn
provomont by cultivation. Don't veneer
it with paint, nor pamper it with daintcs
nor cnvclop it in clothes and lay in n
rocking chair as if il were baby or had
the gout but use it. Work with your
bands, walk with your feet, soc with your
eyes, breathe with your lungs and cat
heartily, BEAUTIFULLY, chewing good meat
and bread with your tecth not destroying
them with cakes and candies. Oh, girls,
what chances arc yours, what possibilities
are yours, if you only would use them in-
stead of letting them drift away from
you. Once gone, like the beauty and
wonderfully adapted organs Of your body
they do not come back, and your incapac-
ity not only destroys yourself, but para
lyzes a generation to como.-UcdIh dld

OLD TIMES,

There's q bcattiful song on the slumbrous air
That drifts from the valley of dreams;
1t comes from Il climc whore the roses WERE
And tuneful heart, and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of azure and eyes of brown,
And snow-whitc forehcads are there.
A glimmering cross and glittcring crown,
A thorny bed and a couch of down.
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer.
A rosy leaf in a dimpled hand,
A ring and plighted vow;
Three golden rings on broken hand,
A tiny track on the snowwhito sand,
A tear and n Sinless brow.
There's tincturc of grief in tho beautiful
song
That sobs on the Summer air; a
And loneliness felt in the festive throng,
Sinks down in the soul ns it tromblcs along,
From elime whore tho roses are.
We heard it first at the dawn of day,
And it minglcs with matin chimes;
But years havo distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody noweth away,
And we call it now "Old Times"

COMMENTS ON "DAD." Yesterday
afternoon two strangers walking up and
down in the Detroit 81 Milwaukee depot
to pass away the time, were attracted to
the locomotive standing on the rails, and
as they walked around it one Of them re-
marked:
at was one Of them follors that killed
my old dad"
as that so ?" replied the other.
&" Yes, busted him into nine or ten piec-
os. never think of it without the tears
coming"
lie sighed heavily and then went on (:
" Dad was walking on the track when
she busted him. The engineer said he
reimbursed his lever, blode the whistle,
and did all he could to save the old man,
who was trotting along with his head
down, but nothing could warn him. This
ere cow-catcher picked him up, tossed
him forty feet high, and he turned over
in the air seven times and came down in
n corn field"
"And was he dead ?" asked tho other.
" Dead Well, / should say he was
Every rib was broken, the vortcbery was
ahiyered, the skull was stove, one leg was
gone and he was the worst looking old
man you ever saw. shall never forget
the day they brough. the pieces back to
the house. There was mother a-wecpin'
in the corner, sister Julia up stairs, broth
or Jim on the bed, and had to run the
funeral business, though was that lear
gone that my head swum and couldn't
keep nothing on my stomach but Injun
porridge."
It was sad thing" responded the
other.
" You bet it was" continued the son,
"and the worst Of it was the newspapers
came out and said dad was II blamed old
fool for walking on the track-then were
the very words"
"They were ?"
Yes, them @oro the words, and ! tell
you, they struck us bad. Dad might
have been reckless, but he was no fool
lie had good heart and was powerful
on potry and fggers."
lie wiped his eyes on the palm of his
hand, and his companion moved away.

A GooD SroRY.-Tom Sanders Of Buff
iaIo owns liltlc lazy, slow mare that is
the Iiliculo Of his friends. One recent
evening he and some Of the friends were
talking Of horses when hc astonished them
by offering to bet 500 that he could ride
twenty miles in an hour. lie counted out
the money in Il tantalizing way, remark
ing that his mare had been laughed at
long enough and he had made up his
mind TO show what she could do. 1t
seemed like robbing Tom, so they said to
take his bet, but he insisted, and the
stakes We're put up in trustworthy hands.
\ day was chosen for the trial and when
it came Tom led them to the Cenhal
Railroad depot where the homcly lit c
mare was found aboard baggage car.
Tom had ticketed her to Rochester by
express, and when the train started, he
got on her buck triumphantly. He said
he recKoned that he could ride that way
twenty miles in an hour unless the time
table lied. Away went the train with the
referee holding his watch and the three
fellows who had joined in the bet against
the mare, very sorowtul in expression.
About fifteen miles had been run in halt
an hour and Tom was grinnng in antici-
patton ofan easy victory, whom the car
bumped over something and he was un-
seated from Ills perch by hastily applied
brakes. An axle had been broken, and
the train was stopped over M hour. And
Tom was not so rueful over the loss oCthc
stakes and the failure Of his trick as he
was over his stupidity in not taking the
mare Off the ear and riding the rest OF the
twenty miles as there had been ample
time to do il within the hour.

KErT no BooKs.-A Boston "mcr-

GOING TO TeEE DENTTSI" =.

l like to come across q man with the
toothache. There's something so pleas
ant in advising him to stuff cotton in it,
to use creosote, camphor, peppermint
and relief" that l always feel better
after giving it.
| have been thcre-had an aching snag
and know just how it feels. 1t used to
wake me up nights, and make me mad
at noon, and set me swearing early in
the morning. | didn't meet any man
or woman but what they advised me-
One said that hot lnitting-ncodle push
ed down on the roots was excellent and
others said it must be dug out by the
dentist.
They smiled when they said so-smled
like friends. They didn't know that the
old snag seemed an inch too high, and
was as tender as my eye, and that the
bare thought of digging out" made a
chill run up my spine. Yes, they did
know it, too, but it wasn't their snag, and
they didn't care.
If sat down to dinner that old tooth
began to growl. III went to bed, or got
up, or went to a party, or staid at home,
it was all the same. Il wasn't always a
growl sometimes it was n jump, that
made my hair stand up, and again it was
sort of cutting pain that made me rake
up faces at the baby, and slam doors and
break windows. | ate cotton, pepper
mint, campbor and opium until | got
black in the face, and still that old snag
kept right on. put bags Of hot ashes to
my check, applied mustard, held my
head in the oven, took sweat, and the
ache still ached.
After the third week the noighbors
did not dare let their boys pass my door,
and tin peddors and book canvassors
went around on another street. ! was
becoming mcnagcric, and ! decided to
have my tooth out. Then decided not
to. ! changed my mind four times in
one afternoon, and at last | went.
The dentist was glad to see me. He
said if he could not take out that tooth
without hurting me he would give me a
million dollars. 1t got easier as be talk
/ cl, and concluded not to have it pulled
| started down stairs, but Il jump caught
me and | rushed back. He said that he
would look ut it : perhaps it didn't need
pulling Mt nil, perhaps he could kill the
nerve.
BY dint Of llattery he got me into his
| chair. Then he softly inserted knife
and cut away the gums. | leaped up
and said / would kill him, but he begged
me not to, said the cutting was all the
pain there was to it. lie finally got me
to lean back and open my mouth, and
then he slipped in his lorceps and closed
them on the snag.
"Ohsordorordonbordosororsor!" !" cried
|, but he paid no attention to it. lie
drew in full breath, grasped the for
ccps tightly, and then he pulled.
Great spoons but didn't it seem as if
my head was going? | tried to shout,
gr0pped at him, kicked, and then he
held up the old snag and said
There ! guess you won't feel any
more aching !"

him to make my home his home forever

A New HAMPSHIRE newspaper tells
about little six-year old girl in coun-
try town of that State who went into n
store where her father was lounging the
other day, and slyly approaching him,
said, Papa, won't you buy me new
dress ?" " What, buy you n new dress,
Susie ?" q" Yes, papa, won't you ?'-
" Well, I'll Ree. I'll speak TO your mo-
ther about it," Elongaton to an alarm
ing extent spread over the little face, but
a thought suddenly struck her, and with
Il smile she looked up into her fathers
face and said, Well, papa, if you do
speak to mamma about it, touch her easy,
or she may want the new dress herself"
The father at once saw the point, and the
new dress was purchased without con
sultation.

Ir has been sagaciously remarked that
Woman's only reason for anything is
" BECAUSE" This theory is borne out by
the way the girls operate with the coun-
terieit notes which come under their fin
gers in the Treasury Department. Gen.
Spinner, who has had twelve years. cx-
perencc in the work, says they are worth
as much as ten men for such business
"a man always has a reason for a coun-
terfeit," says the General, forty, may
be, but he is wrong half of the time. A
woman never has a reason. She says tits
counterfeit because it is counterfeit, and
she is always right though she couldn't
tell how she found out if she were to be
hung for it,"

WILL S. HAYS, the song maker, tells
tho following story in the Louisville Cou-
licr-JotlW0i "Iu the barber shop Of
the Metropolitan Hotel, in this city, he
saw tall, rough-looIlng young man who
was leaning against the wall. A dandy
came in, took off his coat and hat, and
coolly handed them to the stranger whom
he mistook for the barber. The stranger
as coolly hung them on Il peg, when the
dandy said, "Tlim my hair" he pointed
to a chair. The encircling Of the neck
with tho towel and the preliminary flour
ish of the shears were business-iI;e, but
when the dandy felt his hair being crop
ped of close to his scalp, he leaped from
the chair and ran to the mirror. " What
have you done ?" he shouted in demon
stratiye wrath. Well" replied the
stranger, You said 'cut it, and wasn't
going to refuse Il little favor like that nor
make halfway job Of it, neither"

WmRLPooLs.-Tho Colorado River is
noted for "swirls," so-caied. They oc-
cur everywhere, but only at high stages
of water A bubble rises from the bot
tom, and breaks with slight sound on
the surface. The water at tho point be-
gins q rotary motion, so small that an in
verted te0cup might cover it. Larger
and larger grows the circle, till surface
of forty feet in diameter is in motion,
spinning round funncl-shaped hole in
the center, two or three feet across at the
top, and coming to point in the depths
below. Often n largo tree floating down
the stream is caught and its foremost end
thrust up in the air twenty or thirty feet,
while the other passes undcrncath-the
exposed end to be slowly drawn down
again, and to disappear. Three soldiers
-descrters from Fort Mohave passing
through the ravinc in ski1, Immediate
! ly below the fork, suffered their craft to
run into swirl. One Of the crew, at the
first ntimation Of danger, threw himself
overheard beyond the charmed circle
and as he swan away, he turned his head
and saw the boat spin round and round
until one end being drawn into the vor-
tex and the other upheaved in the air, it
slowly sank, as it rcvolvcd, into the tur-
bid bosom Of the river, its human freight
to be seen no more; for the Colorado
River does not give up the doad-no
corpses lodge on its shores.

of a gentleman at her fathers house one
