A WISE SUaaEsTIoN.-Everybody
talks abont retrenchment nowadays,
but particularly the men. They take
it for granted that women must do the
saving, however, and masculine writers
on domestic economy are particu arly
vigorous in their advocacy of woman's
inalienable right to work and save.
One of the pet notions is that every
woman should become her own milliner
and dressmaker. eff the ladies'" they
say, would make their own bonnets
and dress, very desirable point would
be gained" No doubt of it. And the
principle involved in the gaining of
this desirable point" is too good to
be limited in its application to the la
dies alone. The gentlemen who have
discovered it should be permitted to
share in it. This they can do by max
ing their own hats and clothes. Thus
would another desirable point" be
gained. In these hard times, the more
desirable points that can be gained in
domestic economy the better.

One Dream Proving True.

The great handicap at Epson, which
will be decided on Tuesday next. re-
calls an incident in the life Of Gen.
Taylor which is not without interest to
those who believe in what the learned
author Of the ANATOMY of Melan-
choly" calls "Oneiromanteia" or
Divination by Dreams" On the
morning of the day when the city and
suburban handicap was won by Aid
rich, o little fancied outsider, it so
CHANGED that Gen. Taylor travelled
down to EPSON in company with Lord
Vivian, and heard from. him that it was
his intention to back Lord Rosebery's
horse because he had dreamed that he
saw the primrose and rose hoops borne
to victory in the race which they were
on their road to witness. Acting upon
this hint, Gen. Taylor took thousand
to thirty about Aldrich, and was not o
little elated ut the success of what he
Justly called "a leap in the dark" But
for the accident which caused Lemnos,
another much backed candidate for the
race, to fall at Tattenham Corner, there
is little probability that the dream of
Lord Vivian would have found the in
depreciation upon which Gen. Taylor
counted. and which is only another il
lustration of the dangers from which
backeSs of horses can never hope to es-
cape.
TO the Editor ofMe Daily Telegraph :
S1R-In your leader on Gen. Taylor
in this days paper you introduce an
anecdote relative to the dream of mine.
The facts are these: did dream, on
the morning of the race for the city ard
suburban handicap. that I had fallen
asleep in the weighing room of the
stand at EPSON prior to that race, and
that after it had been run I was
awakened by a conference.-the owner
of another horse in the race-who in
formed me that the Teacher had won.
Of this horse, so far as my recollection
serves me, l had never before heard.
On reaching Victoria Station the first
person saw was the gentleman who
had appeared to me in my dream, and
to him mentioned it, observing that l
could not find any horse SO named in
the race. He replied: "There is a
horse now called Aldrich, which was
previously called the Teacher" The
dream had SO wildly impressed me
that 1 declared my intention of back
ing Aldrich for 9100, and was in course
of doing this when l was questioned by
his owner as to why I was backing his
horse. replied, Because dreamed
he had won the race" To this was an
swered "As against your dream I
will tell you this fact. I tried the horse
last week with a hurdle jumper, and he
was beaten a distance" l afterward
learned that the trial horse was Low
lander y
thanked my informant and dis.
continued backing Aldrich. Gen. Tsy-
lor, who had overheard what passed,
asked me if I did not intend backing
the horse again for myself, to win him
81 900 by him. This 1 did by TAX
ing for him 1000 to 30 about Aldrich.
Such is the true account Of my dream
and of Gen. Taylor's profit from it.

Happy Thoughts.

Sorrows are like thunder clouds in
the distance they look black, over our
heads hardly gray.
The Infinite has sowed his name in
the heavens in burning stars, but in the
earth He has sown His name in tender
flowers.
Genius loves toll, impeachment and
poverty; for from these it gains its
strength, throws off the shadows, and
lifts its proud head to Immortality.
Gentleuess which belongs to virtue
is to be carefully distinguished from
the mean spirit of towards and the
fawning assent of sycophants.
No man is ever good for anything
until he has found two things-hrst,
something to love, and second, some
thing to reverence.
Nothing is more amiable than true
modesty, and nothing is more con-
temptible than the false. The one
guards virtue, the other betrays it.
Mental pleasures never cloy unlike
those of the body, they are increased by
repetition, approved by reflection and
strengthened by enjoyment.
Overburden not thy memory to make
SO faithful a servant thy slave. Have
as much reason as camel, to rise when
thou hast thy full load.
The worthiest people are the most in -.
jured by SANDER, as we usually find
that to be the best fruit which the birds
have been pecking at.
A full.blown rose besprinkled {"
with the purest dew is not so beautiful
as a child blushing beneath its parents
displeasure, and shedding tears of sor-
row for its faults.
Never has one person forgotten his
pure, right educating mother. On the
blue mountains of our dim childhood,
toward which we ever turn and look,
stand the mothers who marked out to
US from thence our life.

Micawber's philosophy was appar-
emily strong enough to satisfy any
reasonable man. It does seem as
though, if you waited long enough,
something would inevitably turn up"
The two elements of solicitude in the
argument, however, are: First, the
nature of the 'something;' and second,
the amount of time to be spent in wait
ing. The something may not answer
our expectations, and the time may run
us on to old age. On the whole. it is
better to be satisfied with hard work
and small results than to dream in idle
ness about plenty and never hear the
dinner bell call you even to cold por-
ridge and milk.

Artificial flowers How to Renew
Them.

When q spray Of artificial flowers be-
comes what many would call ruined,
they may be made over to look nearly,
IL not quite as good as new. Take the
flower or rose, for instance, and fold
each petal in the center, and with the
scissors trim around deep enough to
take off all the folded and ragged edges,
one petal at time. If it is soiled
white or yellow flower, dip a pen into
red or purple ink, and vein the center
of each petal. the heaviest strokes near
est the center.
Make some spots of red on petals
the more the flower is soiled the more
spots and veins make. All flowers may
be treated in this way. After the edges
have been neatly trimmed, they may
be touched to little bright dye Of any
color. If flowers look scIaggy fold each
petal into folds, or once in the center,
and rub until the fold remains. Rub
folds in all alike, no matter if it changes
tie shape of the flower.
The leaves. if badly crumpled, may
be ironed, but don't iron them unless
really necessary. then paint them with
shoe bronze, which dries Immediately,
and makes the leaves stiff and glossy.
To the spray may be added small timo-
thy heads, tickle grass, heads of oats
and other grasses, picked just before
ripening dip your fingers in glue
made of gum arabic, or the beaten white
of an egg will answer, and moisten the
grasses we'll then roll in gold bronze
in saucer, one piece at time shake
we'll. A little of the gold bronze
sprinkled over the leaves as soon as the
shoe bronze is put on, and before it
dries, looks handsome and makes a
variety.
You can get plain green artificial
leaves with stems for from so to Is
cents per gross OF dealers in wax mate
rails.
Ask for and insist on getting the
medium size of leaves for artificial
flowers, such as rose leaves. large size.
etc. bronze the leaves if you like; also
jet glass grape balls by the gross, and
bronze if not already painted; arrange
balls in small clusters, adding leaves,
grasses and MOSES. Mrs. M. A. Sim
mons, of Springfield, Lane county, Ore
gon, sent me some of the largest and
incest MOSES have seen, just suitable
for artificial flowers.
Vines made Of leaves only with a
few grape balls added occasionally are
beautiful and cheap.
