tidy woman is to have her hosiery smooth
between the foot halfway house. If Adam
was willing to provide stockings, Eve could
do no less than wear them as becomes a
good wife, and without carriers, it is given
out by wise divines, stockings won't keep
their elevation. Several prominent people
have been given to understand that the COW
erings of their pedal a%ppendages were not
properly arranged, and if they hoped to
meet with favor from the English Queen
they must submit to wear a garter. Even
the a%ntiquated Beaconstield, from only a
short visit among the Germans, became so
careless regarding that portion of his dress
that the Queen noticed it and at once in
formed the old gentleman that she could
not endure it, but he must fix himself up a
little. TO that end she modcstly gave him
u garter nicely done up in tissue paper, tied
with a ribbon. AS a rule, carriers are made
adjustable, and warranted to fit. This
seems necessary. as even with assorted sizes
it would be difficult to select an exact fit
without measuring, which is not always
convenient, rs it is as difficult to guess at
the size required by looking at the individu-
al AS it is to tell why the sleeve OF a summer
undershirt is always only six inches long
Carriers are a big thing. If you doubt it
get married.-Er.

HOME LOVE.

Uome-love is the best love. The love that
you are born to is the sweetest love you will
ever nave on earth. You who are anxlons
to escape from the home nest, pause a mo-
ment and remember that this is so. 1t is
right that the hour should come when you,
in your turn, should become a wife and
mother and give your best love to others;
but that will be just it. N~obody-not a
lover. nor a husband-will ever be SO tender
or so true as your father and mother. New
er again, after strangers have broken the
beautiful bond. will there be anything so
sweet as the little circle of mother, father
and children, where you are cherished, pro-
tected, praised, and kept from harm. You
may not know it now, but you will know it
some day. Whomsoeyer you marry-true
and good he may be-will, after the love
days are over, and the honeymoon waned,
give you only what you deserved OF love or
sympathy-and usually much less, never
more. You must watch and be wary, lest
YOU lose that love which came in through
the eyes because the one who looked thought
YOU beautiful. But those who bore you,
who loved you when you were that dread
full little object, a small baby, and thought
Won exquisitcly beautiful and wonderful,
brilliant, they do not care for faces that arr
fairer, and forms that are more graceful THAI
yours. You are their very own, anu SO bet
ter to them always than others.

The banqueting board in the school room
was rich and heavy and while there we
did our duty diligently and without delay.
Music and singing by the bride, her as

Joy to the OCCASION.
Croquet on the lawn, chatting and visit

we had not so far to go and could stay an

THE ORDER OF THE GARTER.

It's generally given out that the exact
nme OF the institution of the order of the

mo1ial experience, we should say that as

AN AcH1NG VOID.

She got a letter at the post office yester-
day. 1t had Il bulky, financial look, and
she didn't wait to reach home before break
ing the envelope. Rushing to one OF the
windows, she tore one end of the envelope
off, hunted through the four-page letter Tor
g~reenbacks, and her countenance fell exact
" eight inches by the Government gauge
as she didn't find any. She seemed about
to tear the letter into shreds, but female CHI
riosity never defeats itself that way. Turn
ing to the letter, she read:
MY darling, this is my fifth letter TO you
within Il week. I inclose-"
Here she looked the letter over, peered
into the envelope, and then carefully search
ed the floor, but she didn't find it. Turn
ing to the letter, she read:
Il inclose-lny love-my undying allec~
tions.'
1t was all she could do to restrain her de-
sire to tear the letter from the big IL" at
the upper left-hand corner, down to the
word %..darling''. at the lower right-hand
corner, but she suddenly saw something
that made her almost smile. 1t was Il par

1NGRATITUDE TO PARTNTS

4 There was once a father who gave up ev-
ervthing to his children-his house, his
stalds and goods-and expected that for this
children would support him. But after
Aaho had been some time with his son, the lat
tier grew tired of him, and said to him:

he had been some time with the third son,
Die also found him troublesome, and said TO
him: Father, the people run in and out
here all day, as ii it were a pigeon house,
and you cannot have your MONDAY sleep.

A N SOMETHING.

A young man stepped into the Office of
the indianapolis Rolling Mill not long since
and asked for work.
s.What can you do,' asked the president.
II don't know said the young man.
"Have you a trader"
"No, sir.n
"Where did you come from?"
"From Pennsylvania"
care you a German?"
"No, sir; l I'M an American"
eff YOU were a German, or an Irishulan,
or a Frenchman, l could set you to work,
because you would know how to do some
thing, but Americans dom. know anything
about practical business"
This reply may not apply to all Amert-
cans, but it is lamentably true to a great ex-
tent. In Germany the boy is brought up
where he sees something done, and has some
idea Of doing it. Very few Irishmen or Ger
mans but know how to turn over y few rods
Of ground and raise something upon 1t.
Most of them have some idea of mechanical
operations, the production and uses Of ma-
terial and Of tools.
1t is those born in America who are lgno-
rant and idle. 1t is the false notion that :
man does not need to labor, or that he can
get his living by his wits, that causes a large
part of our idleness and distress. Begin at
once to learn something ; no matter your
age, learn some practical pursuit at once.

4 MONTANA WEDDIN G.

A MONTANA WEDDING.
Last Wednesday was a beautiful day.
Early in the morning we took a galloping
ride of two or three miles over the prairie.
The air was invigorating, the sky clear, and
the early sun AS bright as ever. We felt
like shouting, and we did shout. 1t was a
good morning to "praise God from whom
all blessings how." Still later in the morn
ing we started for Gallatin Valley Female
Seminary. AS we were not mounted on
one Of those animals of as "Daughters OF
steeds, swift rs the Storm" it took us about
three hours to reach the Seminary. The
first thing that attracted our notice as we
rode up. was the new church. The walls
have grown this spring, having, with the
rest of the world, taken a fresh start his
season. In a week from now, the carpcn-
tiers will be putting on the root, and the val
lev people expect to have a complete house
| of worship 10y the last of August. That
| the house may be neatly seated and other
wise furnished, about three hundred dollars
in addition to the present subscription Is
needed. Blu we passed on, entered the
yard, disposed of our horse, and shook
hands with the many friends III and abput
the house. Happy faces and cheerful WORDS
met us ut every turn.
Not only every section of the valley was
thoroughly and well represented, ou1
friends at IL distance had not forgotten the
occasion. About l O'Clock, we gathered UNI
der the grand old cottonwood that stands
ut the southwest corner of the house. 1t is
n lovely spot. and there was room tor all.
Gods own roof covered us and Ills own
shade protected us. The time and place
seemed filled with a solemn joy. Within
our circle stood the bride and bridegroom
about to seal the vows covenanted at othet
times and places. At their right and left
! stood the (Mr. Wright) amt
> bridesmaid Miss Aylsworth). Before them
stood the father of the bride. All were 81
i lent and waiting. The mother slipped az

to the strong statistical position OF the crop,
