CARE OF MATCHES IN THE HOUSEHOLD.

In nothing about the household does the
injunction to have ga place for everything"
require more strict enforcement than IN
the care of matches. What are known as
"parlor matches" light more readily, and
are as much more dangerous than the COM
mon matches as they are more convenient.
The general stock should be kept in tin
box, which is not to be opened or taken
from except by the master or mistress of
the house. For each room where matches
are used there should be metal match.
safe of some kind, and the matches are to
be kept in that and nowhere else. 1t
should be regarded as a serious offense for
a match to be anywhere or for ever 80 short
a time found Lying around loose" In
the kitchen and the bed room, or wherever
else matches are in frequent use, it is better
to have the match-safe fixed and always
in the same place, SO that it can be found,
if need be, in the dark. In taking matches
from the larger box to replenish the
safes, let that be done always by one per-
son, and it will pay for that person to look
over the matches at the time, throwing
away all broken ones, and where, as is
often the case, two or more are stuck to-
gether by the explosive mixture, these
should be carefully broken apart, and, un-
less two good matches are the result, rather
than to put into the safe one with too little
and the other with ragged excess of the
mixture, throw both away. Also, throw
into the fire those matches that have two
or three times as much of the mixture on
the ends that they should have. These. in
lighting, often explode, and scatter burn
ing particles in a dangerous manner. II,
in lightinga match, day or night, it breaks,
or the explosive end comes off without
lighting do nothing else until that end is
found, and put it into the fire where it can
do no harm. III fact treat matches, every
match, as it werc-as it is-a firearm
capable of dangerous mischief to person
and property. Teach the children to care

HOW TEE AUSTRALIAN sAvAGEs MARRY.

Nj. Howitt's account of the Kurnia PEG.
pie Just north of Bass's Straits, introduces
us to a new set of marriage customs. Here
the rule is elopement. The lad and girl
make love to one another without the
knowledge of her parents, and run away
together The brides family, furious, go
in quest of her; and if caught and brought
back she will be severely punished /; her
mother and brother will beat her, and her
father even spear her through the legs. As
for the Husband, whenever he returns he
has to tight his wife's male relatives. The
pair may have to elope two or three times,
with new pursuit and fighting, till at last
her family grow tired of Directing, and the
mother will say, "Oh it's all right /;
better let him have her." The Won
derfu thing is that this is not ex-
ceptional, but the regular marriage rite of
the tribe. The anger is not real, and
when the people are charged with being
cruel, they answer that it is not intended
as cruelty but simply to follow an ances-
tral custom. The consequence of this
Kurnia custom is a change toward civilized
ideas of marriage it is no longer shift
ing union between one group or tribe and
another, but real pairing by mutual
choice OF man and wife, and, to some ex-
tent, male descent comes in with it. The
kurn;a elopement marriage shows another
interesting feature. Though it is condoned
at last by the wiFe's family, the man is
never allowed to look at, speak to, or live
in the same camp with his wife's mother.
This Is the best face yet produced in favor
OF the explanation Of the custom of avoiding
parents in-law, as meaning that the act of
taking their daughter, though practically
allowed, cannot be openly agreed to by
their acknowledging him. So deeply rooted
IS this custom in Australia that it retains
its hold on natives under missionary In
fuence. "a Brabrolung, who is member
of the Church of England, was one day
talking TO me- His wife's mother was
passing at some little distance, and called
to her. Suffering at the time from cold, l
could not make her hear, and said to the
Brabrolong. Call Mary, | want to speak
to her. He took no notice whatever, but
looked vacantly on the ground. Ispoke to
him again sharply, but still without his
responding. l then said. What do you
mean by taking no notice of me?' He
thereupon called out to his wifes brother,
who was at little distance, Tell Mary
Dir. Hewitt wants her, and, address
ing me, said You know very well l
could not do that-you know [ cannot
speak TO that old woman.

HOW EUGENE SET THE FASHIONS.

Among the benefits which the world
owes to the establishment of a Republic in
France must be reckoned the marked i'm
provements which have taken place of late
years in the fashions for ladies. 1t will
be acknowledged that ladies now dress
more prettily, if not more sensibly, than
they used to do, because fashions have be-
come less absolute now than they were,
and ladies are freer to choose what suits
each of them best. 1t was not so IN the
days when the beautiful Empress Eugene
shared the throne of Napoleon I'LL, and
set the fashions to all Europe. In those
times Partisan dressmakers used to spend
the season of Lent in wondering what new
style of garment her Majesty would appear
in at the annual Easter outing of Long
champs; for, as everybody knows, it was
at Easter, when the whole of the 'fgreat
world" used to stream toward Longchamps
| in their carriages, that the fashions for the
coming year were shown forth.
The Empress, by way of doing equal
| Justice to all the tradesmen Of the capital,
used to have her dresses made at home,
| keeping staff Of twelve expert seam
stresses for the purpose, and costumier
whose business it was to sketch models for
new dresses and bonnets. This great mans
| labor was not performed in jealous secrecy.
| for his sketches were examined and debated
upon by the Empress and the principal Ia
dies of her Court so that when some nov
city was adopted two or three of the lead
ing milliners of Paris always had cognizance
of it through the orders given by these Ia
| dies. But to the mass Of milllners, as well
as to the public at large, the new fashions
always came as a surprise; so that imme-
diately after Easter there would be grand
rush of ladies clamoring to their modistes
| to trick them out as fast as possible in that
"sweet new thing" that had looked SO
becoming on the Empress, the Duchess de
Mouchy, the Marquise de Gallifet, and
others.
1t was a grand time for dressmakers.
The Easter orders they received were
sometimes Of kind to set all the silk fac.
tories in Lyons working double tides, and
to give lucrative employment to thousands
of Partisan working folks of both sexes.
S metimes, too, the capriciously sudden
introduction of some startling novelty
would operate as a revolution in the trade,
as happened when the spoonbill bonnet was
abruptly cast aside for the bonnet no
ol2Ser tnan cneese- piate, WHICH lay nav
on the head. This unexpected novelty
must have thrown myriads of spoonbills
out of wear within less than three months,
and was presumably regarded as an I'M
mixed boon by the operatives who were re-
quired to manufacture large stocks of the
new article. All these violent changes,
however, are now things of the past.
There are now no recognized leaders of
fashion in Paris and though every year
brings some new modes with it, these are
neither so generally nor so rapidly copied
as they used to be. Then some fashions
which have been found comely and con.
venient have maintained their prestige for
several seasons in succession, defying all
extravagant attempts to supersede them.

- Poor-poor as poverty. His life was

He was worthy of better fate. He ought

declaration; richer than the millionaire
