welldressed, good. looking woman, &c
companied by a pretty little girl, II years
old, reached that city on the Charlotte
train, and asked when the next train left
for Chicago. The woman was Mrs.
Henry o. Bates, the divorced wife OF
Rev. Henry o. Bates, who has been
preaching in the Baptist church at Sodus
Centre since April last. The little girl
was the child that Mrs. Bates tried to get
from the church on a recent Sunday
while her father was preaching.
Not many hours after Mrs. Bates ard
the little girl had departed for Chicago,
the Rev. Mr.. Bates arrived in the city.
When he found that his wife had gone 70
Chicago, he ehowed bitter disappointment.

To AL Our EfAeRds.

Having had numbsrless inquiries for
advertising cards from ladies' In all
parts OF tho country who are interest
ed In the prevailing fashion of making
"Card Collections" we are having
printed for Shom set of seven beaHt4-
full cards, edoh in six colors and on
gold background, in the very highest
degree Of art, illustrating Shakspeare's
"Seven Ages of Man." We have spared
no expense In these cards-they are
simply little art gems. Our only aim
has been to publish the finest cards yet
shown. Applications tor them have
come In 80 rapidly that noarly the
whole edition is engaged before the
receipt by us Of the cards from the
artist. We have therefore been Obliged
to adopt the. following plan for tue dis
tribution of the remainder: No more
of the gilt Shakespeare cards, seven IN
the series, will be sent excepting upon
the receipt of statement from grocer
that the person applying for the cards
has bought of him on that day at least
seven bars of Dobblns' Electric Soap,
with price pL.>' for same. AlS apply.
Ing In this manner aoill receive the full
set OF seven cards gratis by mail. This
will.insure us that our friends and pa
irons get their share Of these beautiful
designs, although it in no manner re-
pays us for tho Cost of the cards. Your
grocer has the soap or will get 1t, ard
the purchase by you Of seven bars of
1t at one time will secure for you gratis
seven really beautiful cards. The soap
improves with age, and is an article of
necessity in your house every week.
Therefore you are not asked to buy a
useless article, but one that you must
have anyway. Please send us your
application at once, and tell your lady
friends making "Card Collections" to
90 the same. Grocers do not have the
cards to deliver. Buy the soap OF them,
send US their bill, and zoe will mail you
the cards free. Yours respectfully,
l. l.. CRAsIN & Co., 1l6 South 4th
Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
L. S.-Ladies not wishing to buy
soap can get the cards by remitting
cosG price, IS cents.

DOMESTIC.

IT is generally admitted that It is
not we'll to slcop in room where
there are cut or growing flowers In
large quantities, but the recent exper-
icnco Of two Spanish ladies show that
tnhaling tho perfume Of flowers, to an
excessive extent, may bo attended
with injurious consequences. The
two ladies In question were on their
way to ball, and, In preparation for
this event, had adorned their hair and
dresses with q largo number OF high
ly scented natural flowers. In riding
to tho place of entertainment In
closed carriage, the husband Of one OF
theladics began to experience the sem
sattOn Of physical falntncss, and, OIL
speaking to his wife and her campan-
ion, neither Of them answered him,
and he found that both OF them were
In state of Inconsistencies. Pho
doors OF the carriage wore insta ntly
opened, and In q few moments the
ladies revived, with no worse results
than the catching of a severe cold {;
but tho Incident would Indicate that
evcn tho perfume Of flowers may not
DO rs harmless as most Of us hitherto
have supposed. 1t might be an inber-
esting scientific study to determine
just what tho effect OF this scent Is
upon the physical system, for at
present absolutely nothing IL known
about its action.

BY the use Of that marvellous remedy,

CARE OF THE TEEru.-Thcy should
be brushed carefully after each meal,
ana particularly aftor supper just be-
fore going to bed, rs what particles as
may bc left on the teeth after eating
very soon destroy them. Brushing
tho teeth once a day with pure white

white. lfyou cannot remove the tar

brush, take powdered pumicc stone,
and, with small stick made into fine

Atlantic City ut This Time OF Year.

Physicians have been sending their
patients to Atlantic City in winter time for
the past twenty years AT first but few, the
number gradually but steadily increasing,
until within the last few years the travel
has reached such proportions that express
trains between Philadelphia and Atlantic
City arc run the year through, and the hotels
--nOst OF which arc furnished and ton-
Quoted Ill the most elegant manner-arc
crowded not only with invalids, but many
who have realized the fact that old ocean
Is ever the same in winter and sum ner,
and that the change of air is just as bcLc-
ticinl and enjoyable mt this season of the
year rs in the midsummer days. Nervous.
dySpcptic, gouty, rheumatic and various
other chronic ailments, which are usually
benefited there in sumsucr, and for which
that resort has become famous, are found
to be equally benefited in winter, and con-
yalcSccnts from acute diseases or from
surgical operations nearly always improve
remarkably Oh being removed from the
large cities. Many cases of incipient
phlhisis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, and
laryngitis have been either vastly improved
or permanently benefited by a sojo,rn at
Atlantic City.
The tonic and Alternative properties Of the
air, acting by the improvement Of djgcs-
ton and nutrition, and tho promotion of
sleep, go far to accomplish great good in
restoring health and vigor.
Atlantic City, unlike most sea- shore re-
sorts, is not only city in name, but in
fact, the population Of permanent residents
being about six Thousand, and the improve.
mcntS embracing most OF the conveHicnccs
III the way of street cars, gas, water, good
stores, markets, &c, that are enjoyed by
the resi- tents of larger cities.
Not only is the visitor surrounded by all
these advantages, but the frequent trains
and convenience Of access to and from
Philadelphia (bcing but ninety minutes
ridc) bring it rs near thereto almost as
though within its limits. In fuct, it Is the
most accessible to the New England and
Middle States of any place haylng claims
rs n winter resort, aud admitting OF oll-
door exercise for most invallis the whole
year through.
The favortc route between Philadelphia
and Atlantic City is via West Jersey Rail
rold, whioh is operated by the Pcnnsyl-
wanna Kan r)"d Company; and passengers
via this line will find the same high stand

GLIDING FERNs.-We believe that
very little Is known In this country
about gliding ferns, which In England
are found so effective for decorating
door panels and screens. The ferns
must be well pressed and dried, and
then thickly painted with Bcsscmer's
gold paint. Gum the backs and ar
range them on the panels, pressing
them with an old soft cloth. Should
any Of the paint "movo on" paint 1t
AGAIN when dry. Finally, lay Oh u
wash of Clear varnish as quickly as
possible. This both pre-
serves tho gliding and makes the
whole look well. Leaves answer
nearly as wcll as forms, and may be
blended with them to advantage.
Tinted Autumn leaves, with gold
paper background ca coat of varnish
over alD look very pretty. Those who
arc Inexperienced IN this style Of dec
oratiyc art, had better try bhor skill
upon all pieco OF wood with their
loasC valuable leaves.

FAN PAINT1NG.--Pcople arc often
puzzled us to the materials and meth
ods to employ IN the pretty work OF
painting, and they might like some
hints which would relieve them of
some Of these difficulties. Silk Is
easier and plcasanter TO paint upon
thnn satin, rs uEon the latter material
tho paints seem to sink In and have to
be gone over too often. Go over the
Six with thin wash of Isirglass and
water and lot it dry thoroughly before
commencing to Dnint. If to much
Chinese white is tuixod with tho COL
Ors, they arc apt to crack when dry.
1t Is said that French fan painters use
Il little sugar in the water. Gros-
gram silk OF good quality is found to
be the best for tho purpose. Stretch
1t out wcll upon desk or drawing
board, holding it firmly by means Of
drawing pins, and sketch tho design
lightly with pencil or chalk.
