OLD age Is altogether out Of the ques-
ton. Even her affections are blum
ted, and she becomes merely ma
ehine-a woman without the time to
be womanly, s mother without the
time to train and guide her children as
old age Is out CT the question; old age
eomos on her sere and yellow before
its time. Her disposition is ruined,
her temper soursd, her very nature is
changed By the burden which, too
heavy to carry, is dragged along IS
long as wearied fest and tFed hands
only mother can, wife witkclt the
time 20 sympathize with and cheer her
husband, a woman 80 worked through
the day that when night comes her
sole thought and most intense longing
Is for the rest and sleep that- probably
will not come, and even If il should,
that she is too tired to enjoy. Better
by far let everything so unfinished, 70
live as best we can, than TO entail on
herself and family the cuFse Of over
work.

BEAUTY IN DRESS.

Mrs Hawes, n volume entitled "The
Art of Beauty" makes the following points
with regard 70 sesuty IN dress:
The reason that AZ ordinary low neck
with short sleeves locks worse in black than
20 aay ether cslor is because the hard line
rouEd the bust e-d erl-s Is too gcest a con-
trast - t6e-slZin. 4 low neck always les
sens the height. cT;G 2 dark dress msde thus
lessons t still mere, and It strikes the art;s-
tic eye IS cutting the body N pieces, il. this
way: if yog sse fair person dressed in g
lOR dark dress standing against light
background some way Of, the effect will be
that Of an empty dress hung UP, the faoe,
neck aRd arms being scarcely discernible.
Or The other hand, against 8 dark back
ground the head and bust will be thrown Up
sharply, and the whole dress sad body will
disappear This effect common enough, Is
eEecrably bad. II yca nust yfeGr a Low
black bodice, let i be cut square. giviag the
height Of the shoulders (0r better, with the
angles rounded, for corners ore very trying)
and have plenty OF white OF pale gauze or
thin black net 20 soften tho harsh line be-
tween the skin and the dress. White gauze
or lace softens down the blacknees of le
dress at the edge Of the bodice. aasd thin
black stuff has an equally good effect, as Il
shades the Thiteness Of the skin into the
dark color ef tie gown. Only under these
conditions does the sudden contrast enhance,
as some persons suppose, the fairness Of the
complexion.
Short women should never wear double
skirts or tunics-they decrease the height so
mucli-unless, indeed, the tunic is very
short and the skirt very long. So also do
large, spraEllng patterns used for trim
mings; let theee be left to worlen tall
enough TO carry them OF. Neither let
very little woman wear her hair half dowA
her back; let her lift it clean up as high as
possible.
Large feet should never be encased Ia kid
least Of all white Kid sliPpers-for Kid re
veals SO clearly the for1a and movements Of
the feet, and stretches 80 easily that few
feet have chance in them.
Those who sre very stout should wear
nothing but black; those who are very thin
should put 3 little padding IA their gowns;
and neither should BE in the least decoliette.
Perpendicular stripes IN dresses give height
and increase fulness, and are therefore par
ticularly suited to very slight, small people,
and particularly united for stout figures"

FenuoE's Predictions for January.

Mr.. Vennor, the Canadian weather
prophet, having come very near the
exact condition OF the weather for De
cember in his prediction, his forecast
Of what may be expected IN January
becomes of interest. Mr.. Venuor says:
81 anticipate that New Years callers
will have heavy zleighing this year
from Montreal TO Washing and
that a cold snap during the first part
of this month viii preserve it for that
period. I expect blockades Of snow
in the United States about the 7th
and 8th of January, and rainy days
during the month will be exceedingly
few. The second quarter will open with
henvy falls and terminate in a cold
snap. The middle Of the month viii
bring snow falls, which will terminate
in niider weather toward the end Of
the third quarter. The tbaw, which
viii be interrupted bya briefcold spell
will extend from about the 18th Of The
month into February. The record q
this month viii show 1t to have been a
severe one, and the general conditions

4 Good Doctor.

First, let US advise you to avoid the
DRUNKEN doctor, rs you would a
| viper.
Avoid MEAN man, for you may
be sure he will be mean doctor, just
as certain as he would make a MEAN
husband.
Avoid a dishonest man; he'll not be
as honest with you as your family
hysici.n.
Shun the doctor that you can BUY
to help you out Of scrape; a good
doctor can't be bought.
Avoid a licentious doctor if you'd
protect your family.
There can be no compact between
virtue and vice.
Avoid the untidy, coarse, blunder-
ing fellow, for the man who is clumsy
in hitching his horse. you may be sure
he is uot handy at midwifery or sur
gerry.
Avoid the docIor that fatters you,
and humors your lusts and your ap-
petites.
Avoid the man who puts on an ex-
tra amount of AIRS; be assured it is
done to cover his ignorance.
To be 2 doctor one must first be a
NAN in the true sense of the word.
He should be a moral man, honest
"a his dealings.
He must have some mechanical ge-
MUS, or it is impossible for him to be
q good surgeon.
1t is q good sign if the mem bers of
his own ia niIy respect hinn-
1t is $ good sign if the children ike
him.
1t is q good sign If he is neat and
hsndy in making pills and folding
powders.
1t is a good sign if he is still 8 stu
dent and keeps posted in all the latest
Improvements known for alIeyiating
human suffering.

Pennsylvania School Journal, and

it as fast IS you can.

age the teacher.
s. Ifyou should happen to visis
the school, take close notice Of what
seems to 90 wrong, and tel everybody
about It except the teacaeT.
Z. Never advice your children 10

SIGNS oF TIE. ...TIKEs.

The "Signs of the times. indicate 6
condition ofthings not at all fqtter;ng
to our assumed position as the head Of
created beings, On all sides we see
evidences of the frailtY and short-sight.
edness Of mankind.
We see undertakings that haze for
their foundation the debasement Of
mankind, flourish and grow vigorously
and persistently.
We see societies organized for the
protection of the weak and the relief
CT the needy, that struggle along and
after limited existence die out from
sheer want Of vitality.
In our city it is easy TO- raise thous-
ands Of dollars to organize and to per
petuate an annual isystem of horse races.
1t is no trouble to make a base bsl!
tournament a success, and . circus
with monstrosities. and curiosities of
form and action will attract people by
tens Of thousands, who Will spend
their time and money to witness the
same performances year after year
yet our benevolent societies dwindle
awsy, or drag out miserable existence
and no scientific association for the ed
ucation Of the people could exist for g
fortnight.
We we're lately iu the city Of Syr-
& cuse, and saw in the midst Of the
city q splendid monument to malt liq-
uor in the shape of huge brewery,
with its appliances costing a fortune.
We learned that this huge caravansa-
~ of drinkables was crowded with
business, and that the owner was rap
idly increasing his already large for
tune. We learned that in the same
city of Syracuse, not long since, their
public libary hadSbcen sold at sheri =
sale, and that their different associa-
tons for the scientific and historical
education of the people, were in a
comatose condition.
Buffalo and Syracuse are fair types
of other towns, and these indications
show that some radical defect exists
in our system of education.
We are standing on shaky ground
there is too much devotion to animal
qualification, and too little attention
paid to spiritual advancement. In
other words our people Eare looking down
instead Of upward They are groping
IN mud, instead of studying the heav-
ems. They are worshipping beasts in
stead of angels. The man or woman
who is willing to cater for the sensual
qualification of the masses succeeds,
as the world measures success, but the
evanescent and chimericel glory Of 3
temple built on such 8 foundation is
valueless, mere dust and ashes, when
compared with structure that has
for its cornerstone, spiritual truth that
in its perfection aad perpetuity shows
that its bears the direct and clear i'm
print of Divine wisdom.
When the clear white light Of etsr-
nifty shines upon us aud reveals the
hollowness and instability of earthly
glory, we viii moro fully understand
that what We believe and follow in
this LIE as the real, is in factatraRsito-
ry in its existence, and that was his
ideal to US is eternal in its parts, power
and possibiiities.- Buffalo Indez.
