Some people are inveterate readers,
yet they rarely remember what they
read. They peruse a book or paper
merely to vile away an idle hour-not
with view to mental improvement.
One Of these Loose readers once said he
had recently read in some paper, he
couldn't remember where il was, Of q
man named Johnson-he believed his
name was Johnson-who had raised o
thousand barrels Of potatoes 70 the
acre-he believed II was barrels, it
might have been bushels; he was quite
sure il wa, polatoes, though possibly
it might have been apples; it seemed
a good deal for an acre, he might have
been mistaken about that-really it
was impossible. it must have been
more than an acre. Now reading af.
ter this fashion is Improbable. Give
your attention to what you read. 1t
is very good practice after laying a
book down to take up a pen and see
how much you can write Of what you
have read. After trying it regularly
for week you will be pleased to 6nd
how much more you can remember
than you could at first. So rapidly
does the habit Of concentrating ones
thoughts grow with cultivation.

Cure For Gsssip.

What is the cure for gossip' Simpl,
culture. There is great deal Of gus
sip that has no malignity in il. Good
natured people talk about their neigh
bur because, AMI only because, they
have nothing to talk about. As we
write, there comes to us the picture Of
a family Of young ladies. We have
seen them at home, we have met them
in galleries Of art, we have caught
glympses Of them going from a book.

er, in which they are interested. We
have left them, after delightful hour,
stimulated and fre.hened and during
the whole hour rot a neighbor's gar
ment was soiled by 81 much as a
touch. They had something to talk
about. They knew something, and
wanted to know more. They could
listen AZ well ~ they could talk. To
speak freely Of neighbours doings and
belongings would have seemed an i'm
Iertinence To them, aud of course, a
impropriety. They had no tempta.
tion to gossip because the doings of
their neighbors formed a subject very
much less interesting than those which
grew out Of their knowledge and
cIlture.
And this tells the whole story. The
confirmed gossip is always either
or ignorant. The one variety
needs change of heart and the other

II is a noteworthy fact that ladies'
wearing apparel Of all description, is
made of much warmer stufs than
formerly. Shoes are made warmer,
stockings also undergarmerts are also
universally adopted. and outside gar
ments of all styles are made of warm
and heavy goods. The old notion Of
wearing thin shoes doggedly per
severed in for 81 many year., has been
utterly abandoned by American wo.
men. as well As other silly an demor.
alizing ideas OF dress and fashion.
What is needed now in the matter of
dress is simplifcatiou so long as wo-
men wear complicated and complex

At last the veil was removed. her
