The Boston Whiting Schools.

Formerly all American schools were
whiting schools, but the art was prac-
uced surreptitiously, the soft pine desks and
benches furnishing the onv whiting ma
terial. with the advent OF highly fnished
hard wood school furniture. ali jacknite
practice in school was vigorously suppress
ed; and for generation or so the art lss
fallen into decadence. 1t has revived, how
ever, under Improved conditions, the nat
ural spirit OF constructiyeness-us
called s-incident to boy-
hood, being made the basis OF systematic
training OF the most enjoyable and useful
sort.
The pioneer institution is the Boston
Whittling school, private enterprise nous
ed by the city. The school-room has been
fitted up with work benches. divided into
four foot sections, and each boy Is furnish
ed with such tools as he may need Thir-
ty-two were admitted the first year, their
ages ranging from twelve TO sixteen The
school report says that perhaps twelve OF
them had received some instruction in the
use OF the jig saw and knife, but none had
had any previous training in wood carving
or the use OF tie chisel. There were more
applicants for admission to the school than
could be received. Ii any boy was absent
two successive evenings, his place was
taken BY another. \ rank list was kept
aud pasted on the wall. and each boy knew
how his work was estimated by consulting
the list. course of twenty -four lessons
In wood carving was prepared with special
reference TO secure the greatest amount Of
Instruction with the least expenditure for
tools and material. IL was not designed to
make finished workmen in wood carving.
but TO take advantage OF the natural incli-
nation toward hanjicraft. the Yankee taste
tor whiting which belongs to most boys,
and to develop IL and guide it to useful ap-
plications.
The experience Of the founders leads
them TO the belief THAT il would be easy TO
establish, in connection with all our grsm-
mar schools for boys, an annex for elemen-
tary instruction in the use of the half dozen
universal tools. ie., the hammer. plane,
saw, chisei, file, and square. Three or
Tour hours week for one year only of the
grammar school course would be enough
TO give the boys that intimacy with tools

For Husbands,

Don't think that when you have won
wife you have won a slave.
Don't think that your wife has less fe ell
ing than your sweetheart. Her relatio IL
ship to you is simply changed, not her ma
ture.
Don't think that you can dispense with
all the little civilties ef life towards her
you marry She appreciates these things
quite as much as other women.
Don't be gruff and rude at home Had
you been that sort of a fellow before mar
riase, the probabilities are that you would
be sewing on your own buttons still.
Don't make your wife feel that she is an
incumbrance on you by giving grudgingly
What she needs give cheerfully as if it was
pleasure TO do so. She will feel better
and SD will you.
Don't meddle with the affairs of the
house under your charge. You have no
more right TO be poking your nose into
the kitchen than she has to walk into your
place OF business and give direction to your
employees.
Don't fnd fault with her ex,rsvagapce
in ribbons, etc.. until you have shut down
on cigars, tobacco, whiskey, etc.
Don't leave your wife at home to nurse
the children on the score of economy,
while you bolt down at night to see the
shadow or spend dollar on billiards.
Don. bolt your supper ard hurry off to
spend your evenings lounging around away
from your wife. Before marriage you
couldn't spend evenings enough with her.
Don't prOwl 10 the loaflng resorts until
midnight wasting vour time in culpable
idleness. l. wing your wife lonely at home
to brood over your neglect and her disap-
pOinsment.
Don't think the woman you promised to
love. cherish and protect becomes Your
servant as her part of the the contract.
Don't think that board and clothes is
sufficient return for all wife does for you
Don't expect a wife to love and honor
you II you prove brute unworthy OF love
and honor.
Don't caress your wife In public aud
snarl and grOwl at her In private. This
proves you both hypocrits and dog.

A Vigil.


BY FRANCES L. MACE.
Al-Soul's dayl Where have heard or read
An old-tme legend. sad and sweet.
That to-nigh return the remembered dead
And walk among us with phantom feet'
The watcher heedeih nor sight nor sound.
But till dawn is breaking. they throng around.
Beloved! Thou hast been gone from me
A year and a day. will watch tonight;
Ny door shall be LEFT sjar for thee
will brighten my fire and trim my light
And, IN ising softly OF other davs.
Vigil III keep by the midnight blaze.
Are there joys untold In those realms above
With whose meaning mortss may vsinly
cope:
Blooms there a sweeter rose than loyef
Sings there happier bird than hopes
Was the waking all that thy dreams foretold
Of palm and palace and gates OF gold
Thou didst love me truly; doub, IL not.
To part was bitter though silent pain.
In thst fsr-oif land am | yet forgoty
Is mourning empty and memory vaing
Hsrk! Was that whisper. so soft, so near
II is but the signing wind hear.
How fair TO me was thy fading face,
Bright with a tender and tranquil glow.
Heaven had lent thee its promised grace.
A dawning rapture was on thy brow
Thy smile-What shines so within the
door;
Only the moonlight just touching the floor.
We were happy, love, in those summer days.
The days OF sunshine so bright, so long;
Pleasant our walks By the fowery ways,
Sweet the commuuing by word and song.
Listen % melody, come once again.
All silent. must have been dreaming then.
hear the wash Of the troubled tide
As II breaks on the cold. unheeding shore;
The elm trees grieve BY the river side.
And the lonely pines reply, "No more"
Low in the east hangs the star OF dawn:
Hss the angel visitant come and gone:
Surely one moment she stopped TO see
The light on my hearth, and her glance was
kind.
Such presence yelled from our sight must be;
They are not fathless though we are blind
In the light Of the same undy ing love.
We watch below and they watch above.

Mother Shipton's Prophecies.

Mother Shipton, who lived during tn,
reign OF Henry VIII, is still reverenced il
the memory OF the people of Yorkshire
She proDhecied many strange things which
actually took place. Here are the olt
lines, printed over two hundred years ago
which still have peculiar interest. Steau
railways, the telegraph, mining, cable, tn
@ronaut. ships, and Disraeli, have already
come:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fili the world with woe;
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkle Of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, but yet they shall be true.
The world upside down shall be
And gold be found at the root of q tree;
Through the hills man shall ride,
And horse nor ass be at his side;
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk:
In the air shall men be seen
In white, in black, in green;
Iron in water shall float
As easy as q wooden boat;
Gold shall be found, and shown
In land that's not known;
Fire and water shall wonders do:
England shall at last admit Jew,
The world to An end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

Alfred Ethelridge Makes q Call.
In. J. Burdettc of Burlington ,Hawkeye. !

Mr.. Alfred Ethelridge is bashful; he does
not deny il. He wishes he wasn't. some
times, but wishing don't seem to help his
case much. Everybody In Burlington
likes him, except the father of young
lody out on Pond street. With an instinct

feelings. Alfred had forborne to aggravate
them and kept out of the fathers way as
much as possible. atoning for this appar.
ent neglect by seeing the daughter twice
as often. The other afternoon. Alfred
went up the steps and rang the bell. The
door opened and
Papa stood glaring at him. looking a
thousand things and saying nothing
Alfred Ethelridge had never felt quite so
lost for language in his life. Presently he
stood on one foot and remarked:
Good afternoon!'
"Gooditoon." grunted papa, which is. BY
Interpretation, also good afternoon.
-ah-is-er-er-Miss Lollipop-is
your daughter at homer askei Alfred
standing on the other foot
Yes. sir" said papa, rather more short
y than Alfred thought was absolutely
necessary. Then nobody said anything
for long time. Presently Alfred Ethel
ridge stood on both feet, and asked:
lis she in?''
Yes. sir, said papa, not bIdging a step
from his position in the door. and looking
rs though he was dealing with a book
agent instead of one OF the incest young
men In Burlington. Then Alfred Ethel
ridge stood on his right foot and said
does she-can she receive company
Yes. sir" papa said savagrly, not at
all melted by the pleading intouation of
Aifred's voice, which everybody else
thought was SO irresistibly sweet. Then
Alfred Ethelridge stood on his lett foot and
said:
is she at homer"
Yes, sir" papa said kind OF coldly
Alfred Ethelridge looked down the street
and sighed. then he looked up at papa, and
shivered. Then he stood on the right foot
again and said:
''ls she 2"
Yes SIR" papa said, grimly, and Fever
taking his eyes off the young mans un-
easy face.
Alfred Ethelridge began to feel Ill. He
looked up and down the street and
finally pinned his wandering gaze to the
bald spot on the top of papa's head, then he
said
viii you please tell her that Mr. Al
fred EtheIridge caleds"
Yes sir" said papa and he didn't say
Anything more And somehow or. other
Alfred Etherdge kind Of sort of got down
OH the porch and went Kind of out OF the
gate like. He discontinued his visits there,
aud explained TO n friend that the old man
didn't say anything that wasn't all right
and cordial enough, but the manner OF
him was rather formal.

ENTERTAINMENTS.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
THIS Is the season for grand dInners, aft
ternoon teas, etc, the bail season proper.
not commencing until after New Year. As
FOR afternoon teas, sometimes called kettle
drums, they are quite the rage The new
est idea is to set out a number Of rustic
tables covered with cloths gaylv orua-
mented in applique work or embroidery,
and capable OF holding from two to four
persons. OF course the cups are matters
| of great importance, and here we find the
Limoges porcelain most sought after. The
supply corresponds with the demand and
they are imported in dozens expressly for
these afternoon teas. at prices VARYING from
$1,000 to S25 90 for such special style of
| china More costly cups and saucers are
from the ROYAL Worcester Mandatory,
and Il notably beautiful set for which 5000
per dozen is asked. is of green and several
shades of gold on white ground. For
dinners, the different styles of menee cards
are objects of great attention. and no small
emulation among fashionable people, but
they do not serve to indicate the bill of
fare, but only the position of the guests at
the table. Hand painted cards more or
less elaborately executed are generally
used, but on recent occasion, elegant
sash ribbons three yards in length and a
half yard in width were suspended from
the chandelier to each lady's plate; the
ends being finished with elegant floral de-
signs, in the midst of which the ladv's
name was sklfully inserted
DINNER COSTUMES.
dinner costume recently worn was of
deep garnet velvet combined with Pompa-
dour silk covered with an effective floral
pattern. 1t was made Genevieve train and
Balsamo basque. The back of the skirt
was of velvet; the front of silk, draped
towards the sides aud finished with bows
of silk and velvet united. rich fringe
was run in snort horizontal bars connect
Ing this with the velvet train at the back
The basque was high at the throat with
elbow sleeves, and vest; the upper portion
OF the vest being OF the silk; the lower
part Of the velvet. Lace mitts pearl lew
elry. and duchesse lace III the neck gave
finish. The highest degree of art and the
greatest extravagance in the employment
OF material characteristics these elaborate
dinner costumes which really are as hand
some and costly as evening toilets. The
dark side of the picture is that majority
OF the people who give such lavish enter
tainments. as of those who attend them,
are more or less heavily in debt. and often
the house in which costly dinners take
place is mortgagtd not once but several
times. But the supply of butterflies never
gives out. II some one falls away ex-
hausted. others rise up to take their place,
so OF fashionable entertainments we have
always enough and to spare.

OUT DOOR GARMENTS.
The newest materials for cloaks are ST.
cilienne, showing a veryheavy rep. or mat
telasse, which while having a sil!;en surface
as formerly, is wrought with rough wool
lining inside; rendering it very warm, and
dispensing with the use OF flannel. The
Genovevra cloak is a handsome model re-
Gently brought out aud would be suitable
for either of the fabrics Just mentioned.
Then also, we have the Lucien coat, which
though in an opposite style is better adapt
ed to some figures. 1t is slightly double
breasted, long, and cut away over Louis
NV vest. One of the most stylish out door
costumes OF the season was worn the other
day by the celebrated Mrs Hicks Lord.
1t Is OF black satin made without overskirt,
deml-train, and with a close fitting basque.
The lower edge of the skirt is trimmed with
a deep row of chinchilla fur, sleeves and
basque to match; chnchila muf. This
costume was worn when driving. Some
times an enllyening effect is given to the
costume by bonnet of one or more of the
new garnet shades Such one was worn
the other day by Mrs. Morgan Dix, wife of
the widely know Rector of Trinity Church
The foundation was OF garnet velvet laid
plainly on, and it was finished by rich
TUT OF garnet colored ostrich plumes.
Much interest is felt here by ladies who
make their own dresses, or who have fam
