Good Taste.

People in,general have avery in
adequate appreciation Of the pecuni.
airy value of taste. Taste measurably
supplies.a deficiency of means in.al-
most everything. How often do we.
see a cheap but .tastefully-planned
and arranged cottage exceeding in
attractiveness the spacious and cost
ly but .ill-contriyed. dwelling! The
between taste and the want
of it is strikingly manifested in the
laying out Of grounds and planting of
trees and shrubs. And it is also
manifest in other ways. One person
always appears well dressed; another
never. Yetthe one who is i'll dress:
ed may pay>his tailor twice as much
in the year as the other, So it is with
the dress of woman. One who does,
mot understand the adaptation Of
style and coIors may be loaded with
costly garments and finery, never APP
pear well dressed.

Dressing "in style"

( When girls midway in their teens
throw off their natural girlish habits
and attire, don long skirts, skoot up
their hair and affect the airs and
dress Of young women, they would
often be surprised to know what
their elders really think Of the i'm.
'pfovements. One such young miss
went to the depot recently to meet
an aged friend Of the family,and was.
surprised to find herself not recognize
ed upon greeting the visitor as she
stepped from the cars. "Don't you
know me, ,auntie2p 'Why this isn't

marriage, which he said no one must
know of until they both graduated.
She trusted.him entirely and kept
the secret faithfully.
The nnderhand part Of the affair
worried her constantly, however, and
began to. tell sadly OIL her beauty

now had vanished.

Ally's failing health also excited

return and spend commencement
week with Miss Bfidgman. +
In all these six months Ally had
heard nothing Of Ned seeley, and her
health was even worse than when
! she left school.
Bitterly did poor Ally repent her
secret marriage, but itmast be con
fessed that she looked forward to
meeting Ned with great pleas9res =,
This, then, was her reason for
wishing to take the journey. alone at
the beginning of this story: She
hadf no intention of going to Miss
Bridgman's on. her arrival at s.,
but would meet Ned, and.they would
lay their plans together.
u. The day she left her fathers hnnse
to 60 to s. alone was the day Of
Ned's commencement exercises, and
that evening as he was packing his
trunk, heTfeccived a little perfumed
note, asking for II meeting next dav
at'their usual trysting place and
signed "lour loving wife, Ally"
After considering all things, he
concluded to meet her and explain
that the marriage was only mock
marriage, and for her to returnt to her
father and never speak of it to any
one in all her life. So he sent her a
message to meet him at the depot,
as he would leave on the eight o'clock
train, and would have no time to
meet her elsewhere.
He could not deny it would be a
great pleasure to see her once more
and he even caught himself wonder.

whom he was great favorite, was

the house, she had taken great pains
to have his pet dishes; but although
he had praised everything, she coulG

The truth was, Ned Seeley was moi

The First Step.

There is no step as long as the first
step in any direction, especially a
wrong one. Having once taken it
you are very likely to go farther. One
who steals penny will remember it
when he steals u sovereign. If he
steals the sovereign first, when he
is tempted by thousands he will re-
member that he is already thief. "A
perfectly innocent person breads the
soil of any sin upon his soul, but az
ter the slightest smirch he cannot
say, al am clean" The vulgar prov
erb, Gone nigh. as well be hung for
sheep as for lamb" meansa great
deal, Often the lamb. was stolen
years before, and now why not take
the sheep? An idle word, half.oath,
half-exclamation, leads the boy to
swearing. Once having sworn, he
will swear again. The first step may
not be much in itself, but in its re-
lation to our lives it is giants
stride. II is well TO remember it.

When the Senate bill in regard TO jurors
i'm the United States Courts was reached,
Mr.. Herbert, bv instruction from the
Judiciary Committee, moved on
amendment providing that in selecting
names for grand and petit jurors, the
clerk and commissioner shall in nOwise

shall look solely 20 the qualifications
presented by law, persons possessing
such qualifications to be entitled to

officer or cmploye OF the United States,
or OF any State shall be competent to

Mr. Robinson representing the Mi

THE QUEEN CITY.
SECOND DAY OF THE SAENGERFEST,
A Gala Night-The Attendance Large and
the Singing exceIent-Wild Enthusi-
asm Of the Audience-Triumph
of Madame AYeseben,

! CNCINNATI, June l2.-The streets this
morning have resumed their wOnted APP
pearance, as far as the crowding, moving
multitude is concerned. The vast
throng OF yesterday is still in the city,
but they seem to have taken themselves
TO the hill tops and parks, where bal
loon ascensions, picnics and concerts are
the order OF the day.
Tonight has been gala one for the
Saengerfest, both in the quality OF the
singing and the attendance. Fully four
thousand people were seated before the
opening of the concert, and the total at
tendance will probably number some
hundreds more The chorus seats were
packed soldly by the male singers, and
they presented quite contrast, in their
absence OF color, when COM
pared with the bright costumes of
the lady singers OF last evening.
Prof. Carl Barus was director for the
evening
The concert opened with The Ger
mau Warriors Oath and Prayer writ
ten by Ferdinand Mocbring previous TO
The breaking out of the Franco-Prus-
sian war, and was inspired by the in
terview between the then King oil Prus-
sia and the French envoy, Bcrdetti, at
Ems. Mr.. Remmcrtz sustained the
solo admirably, and the chorus was eX-
cecdinglv prompt in its movements.
The second number Of the programme,
an aria, "Ah! Perfido,' by Beethoven,
was sung by Miss Emma Hick.e, of this
city. This was followed by a chorus
for male voices, Take Wing, My
Song sang without orchestral
accompaniment, and was delivered in
fine style. Miss Helen Balatka, Of
Chicago, drew rounds OF braves, and
fairly received an ovation after singing
an aria from "The Magic Flute, and the
applause continued until she repeated it,
''G0d, Fathcrland and Love" a serious
