- WE desire to inform thepublica aen.
esal'. Of our prospectus for this year.
While We are thankfll TO all for their libe.
raj share Of patronage bestowed upon us
during the last few years, we feel satisfied
that we have fully merited our great success.
It was due to no especial good fortune. but
the result Of combination of causes-
principally OF which is, our strict cash sys-
tenn. We have to sustain &c lssses, run no
risks. but receive the cash for every article
sold. AS our expenses are small, compared
with the amount of business we transsc;, a
small margin will suffice, and we firmly be-
heye in the maxim, "make slow haste 70 be
rich."
While at all times We offer great bar
gains 70 our many customers, we shall adopt
Tor this year the metropolitan idea Of hay.

We have no doubs that It will be succcssfui,
for the ladies will soon find out that If we
have Especial Sale" in Embroideries, for
instance, for one week, the low prices for
the time being are Special" and much be.
low regular value. It thus creates mu-
tuai interest. for while we are selling those
goods at Special Prices" we will sell twice
as many Of them; and by buying twice as
much as We used to, we certainly will buy
cheaper. Our inaugural sale will last thirty
days, beginning February 1ss. and in order
to introduce this system will be exception
ally grand, our whole stock of Winter
Goods are to be offered-in spite OF the re.
cent advances-at lower prices than ever,
and we hope our many friends will come
and look, If nothing more.
For the coming season. besides an I'M
STOCK OF DRY GOODS vo
shall have hne of Ladies', Kisses and
Chidrens' SHOES that is unsurpassed in
this State, the orders for which We have
given already, as each pair is made to our
order and warranted.
We shall also have complete line of
samples of Cloths and Cassimeres up to
the very Hnest-and make to ordaa Al. kinds
of garments for gentlemen In the very la-
test styles.
Our stock OF Millinery Goods shall be
complete, thus supplying long needed
want-an effort that we know the ladies

stock shall be first-class in every particular,
and our prices always the very lowest.

Song of the Shirt.
Baltimore Sun.

A poor shop girl, in London, re-
Gently killed herself in a fit of ner-
vous prostration and despair, result
ing from incessant labor and poor
returns therefor. IL is the song of
the shirt to a new air. Since the
days of Hood, however, there has
been a great Improvement in the
condition of workers everywhere,
and particularly in this country,
though many of them here lead hard
lives, laboring night after night,
week after week, for wages that
serve only for a scant daily support.
In this city there is one very good
association for the amelioration of
the condition Of working women
that which provides for their legal
protection and secures for them at
least the wages they may have earn
ed. 1t is sadly true that, in some
cases, even this poor return is den
led them. Small wonder, then, that
occasionally one hears Of a working
woman driven by her hard lot to de-
syair and suicide. In the ideal world
workers would not be required to
overtax their strength in labor nor
spend all their time at treadmill
and they would receive remuneration
sufficient to enable them to I've and
save enough for their support in old
age. The ideal is spreading over
the real world gradually, but there
are still many thousands of workers
who, if they stopped to consider
their future, would see little in it
for hope. Legislators can do little,
if anything, to help them, but phil
onthropists, particularly employers,
can do much, as has been shown by
the advances made since the song OF
the shirt was first translated into
words.

HOUSEHOLD RECEIPTS.

A teaspoonful or more of powder
ed borax thrown into the bath-tub
while bathing, will communicate a
velvety softness to the water and at
the same time invigorate and rest
the bather. Persons troubled with
nervousness or wakeful nights will
find this kind Of bath great
benefit.
A noted cure for neuralgia is hot
vinegar vaporized. Heat fiat-iron
sufficiently hot to vaporize the vine
gar, cover this with some woolen
material, which is moistened with
vinegar, and the apparatus is at once
applied to the painful spot. The
application may be repeated until
the pain disappears.
To stiffen a Grape veil always keep
it folded and pressed under a heavy
book, and when it looks gray, take
alcohol enough to wet it thoroughly,
and then shake it dry, fold it nicely
and press.
To clean brushes and sponges use
spirits of ammonia and hot water.
Wash them we'll and shake the
water out, drying on a coarse towel
with the bristles downward. Little
or no soap is needed.

A BULL CAUGHT BY A TREE.

The HoDeybrook Graphic says =
Will J. White and T. R. Mooney were
engaged ling down some trees, a
yearling bull came along, unseen by
them, and lay down in the brushes near
by. After throwing large tree they
noticed the animal underneath. and
upon being liberated, it was found that
one of his legs was broken. Instead OF
killing the bull as many one would
have done, Samuel White, the owner,
had 1t carefully transported to the sta
BILE, where he placed the leg in spllnts,
and now, two weeks after the accident,
the bull is able to walk about, and will
eventually regain the use of the leg.

What refreshing young women
are those who wear the gowns that
appear in English advertisements
In one a wide-eyed damsel, slender,
low-browed, with a neck like a col.
umn of ivory, stands in the opening
between two curtains with a deep
embroidered border, half raises one
with her graceful arm and turns to
show her star-dotted gown falling
straight to her feet and looking wo-
fully like her night gear, in spite Of
its slanting girdle and the big Portia
fan that lies against it, dropping
idly from the maiden's hand. In
another picture is a long robe Of
black velvet with sleeves fiecked
with white, and inside of it is a girl
who kneels in a deep window and
looks out from the easement with a
simply overpowering background Of
curtain for encouragement.
