DEACON ADAMS ADMoNIsHEs HIS SON

What's them things in yer pocket, Jake, a.
bulgin' out so? Hey?
What? Apples! After all my good advice,
you mean to say
You've been a-stealin' apples ag'in on the
A-stealin'! Hain't told We It's sin to steal a
pin?
And stealin' apples ON Sunday is a blamed
sight meaner sin;
But you will keep stealin' 'em time and time
agin. = aFt
Sweet apples, too, I'll yentur'! the sickIiest
kind of trash?
Such condemned foolish wickedness beats pa
thence all to smash;
wouldn't had it happen----not for fifty cents
in cash!
To steal sweet apples, Sundays, amt no ways
to behave;
If you dodge the cholera morbus you'll live to
he knaye;
And bring my wig and natral hair i'm sorrow
to the grave
You'd make a purity deacon, wouldn't you,
Why, look at mel
Did l get to be deacon by petty larceny?
No! Stealin' is too risky for genuine piety.
We needn't allus tell the truth to spile a
trade that's brewin',
For if you don't take strangers i'm, in trade,
why, they'll take you in; s--=,---..
But steaim' apples Sunday is the roa to moral
ruin.
don't see, Jacob, where YOU got your streak
1t amt the Adams style----the Adamses was
jest like ME-
And your mothers side, the Browns were
famed for honesty 81 70
hope, really hope that you won't steal agin
my lad,
For if you should get ketched at it twould
make me very sad.
Hem! Jac0b----haint you got good sweet ap-
pie for your dad:

professional Vanity Sacrificing Life.

There was considerable attendance of
doctors, surgeons and students at the
Blank Hospital one day. DR., a
celebrated surgeon, was to amputate a
boys leg, and brilliant operation was
looked for. 1t was brilliant, but in the
midst of it one Of the Spectators saw a
spnrt-spurt of blood that his practiced
eye told him ought to be stopped at once.
rHealooked anxiously atthee operator, but
though his eye saw it too, his pride was
blind to it. To stop and bind it would
spoil the symmetry of the performance.
He went on, and finished to the admira-
tion of the whole threng splendid
operationt" @ 8F SgkNtT
The next morning our observing friend
went to the hospital. As the door was
opened for him he said to the janitor:
Little - is dead.e The man stared at
him in establishment. 'Why, how do you
know that, sirg" "I knew ne would die
when~K saw-the operati0n.n Said the man:
"Yes, sir, he died this morning" That
same morning some one found the bril-
liant surgeon standing by the sheeted bed,
with face that told its own. story. He
said he would give all he haaiin the
world if he could bring that boy back to
life, for he knew that his vanity had
killed him.-N. 7. Cor. Cincinnati Ga

Fashions Fantasies.

With all the qualities of beautiful col
ored materials for dresses, nothing can
equal the beauty and daintiness of hand
some black silk. This year the silks are
SO perfect in finish, SO soft and uncrump-
ly, as never before. With the inimitable
drapery of Worth & Heutenaar, and the
trimmings of beautiful jet, prssementerie
or old gold beading, these dresses are alb
solutely perfect tor rlcn carriage costumes.
The fanciful mantles and mantillas to
match, with the tilmy masses of lace and
the glittering beading, are crowned and
completed by the straw bonnets shot with
golden threads, and have the fine feather
SO delicately powdered with gold as to
have only suspicion created, which,
however, completely carries out the gen
'eral idea. Not only for carriage dresses
are black silks pretty. Some of the
street costumes in it are absolutely so
cheap as to make one ask twice that the
price be given. One in two pieces, a
tght-fitting coat and skirt we'll draped,
were trimmed with silver-white and
black-strlped pekin. The effect was
A"'SA SAA WI oNu 1I1c lOWeT
had regular stripes of woolly black and
white, broad revers of it, and vest and
cording of similar kind. 1t was pretty
and stylish, and cost $35.
| A coarse silk netting, like white seine,
is being used with great effect. The dress
is made in black silk. The trimmings
are OF some high color in rather wide satin
ribbon. Sometimes two colors are used,
such as poppy and gold satin. Over this
is loosely draped this fsh-net, and then
the impression given is of iridescence.
The satin CLEANS out but subduedly.
With these dresses the sleeves are usually
OF black lace, and the bare arm shows
through pleasantly to the observer though
it processes to be covered to the wrist.
Among the grenadines shown this
spring are some of the most rich brocades.
At few feet they look precisely like
heavy silk brocades, but closer observation
reveal the fact that the ground is of light
silk grenadine, and the brocades are
thrown in high reliefs of green and gold,
maroon and gold, &c. Odder still are the
large plaided grenadines in faithful imi-
tatlon OF the Madras or bandana plaits of
bright scarlet, gold, green and blue. At
first one says these would be atrociouslv
vulgar, but so skillfully are the colors
mingled that you can in moment realize
what pretty effective Saratoga or Long
Branch gowns these might be. En- suite
with grenadines are the the long bands
OF silk gauze embroidered in scarlet,
maroon and gold.
Among the stufs shown for summer
wear are the most enticing nrilliantness
or percales, in such perfect stimulation
of silk patterns as to deceive the most ex-
perienced eye. The prettiness of these
goods when contrasted with Old-fashioned
patterns in percales is overwhelming.
The fould satins are equally lovely, as
the should be, costing ever so much more
yet cheap after all, as they are marked
one dollar. They come In quarterback
stripes of black and white, black and
gold, garnet and gold, &c, or in the neat
little polkn dots that you associate with
yachting parties.

The Art of Advertising.

Some of the queer things in business is
the propensity of people to seek irregular
mediums for advertising. 1t is unac-
countable the prices that some now pay
for sticking their advertisements in irreg-
ular places. Especially is this SO when
compared with their unwillingness to paw
anything for advertising in the regular
channels. Men will pay large sums for
inserting their business cards in section
OF frame in hotel, bar-room, street car.
railway station, or in hotel register, or
an almanac, or guide book, or annual of
one sort or another. The by-waysr they
seek, or that successfully solicit them, are
innumerable. Likewise they will spend
large sums for printing special circulars,
and In postage to send them. In all this
they ignore the most essential condition
in advertising, namely, that it has char
acter and effect from the medium through
which it is given to the reader. Adver-
tisements thrust into irregular and unbusi-
ness places impress the general mind
that the concern is OF similar
character. On the other hand, an
advertisement in general newspaper of
first class standing carries the impression
that the advertiser has standing in his
own community, which he is not afraid
to show to his neighbors, and that he
does not shrink from competition with
the best of them. These are the different
impressions that are made on all minds
by advertising in a journal of high. charac-
ter and circulation among the reputable
classes, and when seen in by-places and
irregular and low channels. Every one
finds this in his own feelings, if he would
think on the subject. If any one is 90
ing to place to bury, whether he be e a a
trader or buying for his own use,
and he has to seek dealers through adver-
tisements, where will he look for themg
To registers, almanacs, theatre bills,
frames in railway stations, occasional adj.
vertising sheet or circular9 On the CON
trary, he locks to the most reputable
newspapers of the place, and he thinks
that advertising in these gives an assur-
ance of the good standing of the advertiser
and his business enterprise and of the
sufficiency of his stock Cincinnati Ga.

HOaO to Keep Appses:-There are m any
different methods recommended for the
preservation of winter apples, but in our
experience we have found none. better
than to pack them carefully into clean
barrels, head them up carefully SO as to
exclude all the light and air possible, and
store them in cool, dark, dry cellar.
The nearer the temperature of the cellar
approaches the freezing point, the longer
and better the apples will keep. If the
temperature should happen to fall few
degrees below this point, apples we'll
headed up will suffer no injury. AS the
apple is justly considered the most valua
BILE fruit of this country and is almost a
necessity in the domestic economy of the
household, it is a good plan to put up
few barrels with special reference to next
summers use. For this purpose choose
the late keeping varieties, such as Rox-
bury russets or Newtown pippins, and
select the best specimens. After the bar
rels are carefully filled, shake down
among the apples enough gypsum {plas-
teri to fill all the interstitiai Spaces. This
keeps them we'll excluded from the air,
and they will come out in. fine order next
summer, being almost as fresh as when
picked from the tree.-COr. of,tAe Has
