suffered That made me seem cold.
I did not know you felt more than pity
for me, and dreaded your thinking

"It was the desperation of forlorn
hope, my darling, and it met with its
reward. Purity, truth, sincerity such
as yours, could not but win when the
outer barriers of conventionalities were
surmounted. But for your courage I
would never have known the depths of
my own heart, or the priceless sweet
ness of yours. If women risked more
fearlessly they would gain more, and
men would have cause to bless them as
I do you"
He was wrong. Let no woman try
Selma Birney's plan who has not her
magic power. There must be purity
unshadowed, truth unvailed, sincerity
unfinching, added to grace of mind,
strength of passion, and the higher arts
of a cultivated manner, and perfect
toilets, to carry one successfully through
such an ordeal. But any woman may
labor to acquire these things, which are
the basis of conquest, and in proportion
as she labors will she find her full and

Fashion Notes.

Dresses of tinted null, over princesse
slips Of pale pink, light blue, or cream
white batiste, are stylish and becoming.
A sunshade entirely covered with
feathers is the latest fancy. Either pea
cock or canary plumage is used to make
it.
When little girls serve as bridemaids
there is pretty English fashion of al
lowing them to carry an armful of flow
ers instead of set bouquet.
A pretty way of trimming a child's
dress is to have cascade of lace and
ribbon running from the left shoulder
to the right side of the skirt, ending
there in large bow.
Jersey bodices of ciel-blue, rose color
or mauve-tinted silk stockinet, are worn
with white surah skirts trimmed with
tinted Spanish lace, corresponding with
the color of the jersey.
When lace shawls are used for over
skirts this season they are bordered
with rather scant lace ruifie, and are
draped in the back with loops of the
stuff composing the dress skirt, the
point falling in front to make an apron.
A new shape in morning caps is in the
exactt style of the headdresses worn by
the Neapolitan peasant girls, and another
shape called the "Russian" cap, is made
of white surah, with bayadere stripes
across the fabric in bright colors of
green, gold and scarlet
Stylish and inexpensive walking
dresses are made by adding O plain
sHto! -kirt of black satin to a Jersey
bodice. A simple scarf of the satin is
oraped over the skirt, and q shoulder
cape of the same fabric relieves the plain
appearance of the bodice.
Ombre weddings are actually in order:
that is, the bride wears of course the
whitest of loses /; and then, out of six
bridemaids, the smallest or the young
est wears pale pink rosebuds, and the
tallest or the eldest wears the deepest
crimson roses, while the four interme-
dates shade upward. This novel effect
is repeated in flowers of other color and
form.
Skirt drapery has become matter OF
exceeding complication. and requires
almost as much adjustment after it is
put on as it receives before leaving the
dressmakers hands. In theory one has
only to fasten the skirt belt and walk
forth with each puff and loop hanging
as it should, but the woman who enter,
tains this theory is not spectacle fol
the contemplation of til ose on pleasure
bent.

No Need to Brown.

Dr. Henry MacCormac, OF Belfast, Ire
land, writes that it is not at all neces-
sary or inevitable that aperson knowing
nothing Of the art of swimming should
be drowned if he depends simply and
entirely on the powers for self-preserva-
ton with which nature has endowed
him. The pith of the Doctors remarks
is contained in the following paragraph /:
"When one of the inferior animals takes
the water, falls, OF is thrown in, it in
stantly begins to walk as it does when
out of the water. But when a man who
cannot "swim" falls into the water, he
makes few spasmodic struggles, throws
up his arms, and browns. The brute,
on the other hand, treads water, remains
on the surface, and is virtually insub-
mergeable. In order then to escape
drowning it is only necessary to do as
the brute does, and that is to tread or
walk the water The brute has no ad-
vantage in regard of his relative weight,
in respect Of the water, over man and
yet the man perishes while the brute
lives. Nevertheless, any man, any wo-
man, any child, who can walk on the
land may also walk in the water just as
readily as the animal does, and that
without any prior instructions or drill
ing whatever. Throw q dog into the
water, and he treads or walks the water
instantly, and there is no imaginable
reason why human being under like
circumstances should not do as the dog
does. The brute, indeed, walks in the
water instinctively, whereas man has to
! be told"

Durability Of Timber.

As showing the durability of TIMBER
the fact is cited that the piles of a
bridge built by Trojan were found, af-
ter having been driven some sixteen
hundred years, to be petrifed four
inches, the rest of the wood being in its
ordinary condition. The elm piles
under the piers of London bridge have
been in use more than seven hundred
years, and are not yet materially de-
cayed, and, beneath the foundation of
Savoy Place, London, oak, elm, beech
and chestnut piles and planks were
found in state of perfect preservation,
after having been there for six hundred
and fifty years. Again, while taking
down the walls of Tunbridge Castle,
Kent, England, there was found in the
middle of thick stone wall timber
curb which had been inclosed for seven
hundred years and some timber on a
old bridge was discovered while digging
for the foundations of house at Wind
sor which must have been placed there
prior to the year 1896,

Harness me down with your iron bands
BE sure of your curb and rein;
For l scorn the power of your puny hands,
As the tempest scorns chain.
How laughed as l lay concealed from sight
For many countless hour.
AT the childish boast of human might,
And the pride of human power.
When saw an army upon the land,
Anavy upon the seas
Creeping along, snail-like band,
Or waiting the wNyward breeze;
When marked the peasant fairly reel
With the toll which he daily bore,
As he feebly turned the tardy wheel.
Or tugged at the weary oar
When measured the painting courser's speed,
Tho flight of the carrier dove,
As Glcy bore the law king decreed,
Or the lines of impatient love,
could not but think how the world would feel,
AS these We're outstripped afar,
When should be bound to the rushing keel,
Or chained to the flying car
Ha ha ha they found me at last,
They invited me forth at length;
And rushed to my throne with thunder
blast
And laughed in my IRON strength.
Oh, then he saw wondrous change
On the earth and the ocean wide,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind or tide
Hurrah Hurrah the waters DER
The mountains steep decline;
Time-space-hav yielded to my power;
The world the world is mine
The rivers the sun hath earliest blest,
Or those his beams decline.

Or the Orient floods divine
The ocean pales where'er sweep;

And the monsters of the briny deep
Cover, trembling, at my voice.

From the hidden caves below.

With crystal gush o'ertlow.

The Victim OF a Forlorn Hone.

One morning Mark Devine found n
note waiting for him on his Office desk
note without crest, or monogram,
or painted device the paper pure
white, thick, satin smooth, family and
cmiously perfunled, with the mingled
odor of violets and frankincense. The
handwriting was easy, with the ease of
constant, yet careless practice, and the
signature that of woman rising rapidly
to fame and wealth upon the ladder of
her splendid mind and arduous, we'll
directed labor. He had known her well
three years before, when she had come,
alone and unaided, to pursue her career
in the busy city. They had met at a
pleasant clearinghouse, Where there
was really a home element, which called
forth the kindly feelings of it's inmates
IN their intercourse. He had found her
always bright, agreeable, ready Of
speech, full of resource-a companion
much to be desired in the enforced init
macy of a transient abode. When she
had found her level and taken hold,
she sent for her mother. and went to
her own house, and, gradually, they had
drifted apart. He had heard of her late,
more and more frequently, and had
partly resolved to seek her out and
renew their friendship. Struggles and
success had separated them, but with
her, as with him, he felt sure the
memory Of the old days was q pleasant
one, and a return to them full of
pleasant hopes. Now, she sent for him.
The few lines of the note ran thus:
May l ask you, Mr.. Devine, to call on me
at my house ON Wednesday or Thursday even
ing of this week? will not detain you long,
ana you VIII md, before you leave, that YOU
have greatly obliged SELMA d. BJRNEY.
Mr.. Devine sat a moment haIancino
the note on his finger. Then he dashed
off an answer, and sent it by the boy.
On Wednesday evening-in June and
perfect HE was shown into the dimly-
lighted, exquisitely appointed parlor of
house far removed from the tiny abode
in which he had seen her last.
A strange sense of unreal yet familiar
surroundings came over him. 1t was
like a confused dream. The beauty,
the luxury the quiet elegance were
hitherto unknown in any thought he
ever had of her, yet, at once and forever,
they became part of her to him.
SIT is ridiculousl" he exclaimed,
standing before the mantel mirror in its
carved and massive frame, and looking
at himself with puzzled air. "But
could swear would have known the
room for hers anywhere" He started.
She had come noiselessly in, and he saw
reflected, her pale face, and fine, clear,
dark eyes over his shoulder. She was
not smiling, but an expression of infinite,
sweet still Joy struck him as he turned
to her.
"You are very good, Mr.. Devine."
she said, holding out her hand. 'Re-
membering your habits of old, 1 scarcely
expected you would be at liberty upon
the instant. Had you really no engage
ment for this evening %
He laughed, and flushed.

Wolves,

1 have seen wolves show more bold
ness in the pursuit ofdogs-their favorite
food, according to my experimentation
on any other occasion. Settlers and
retrievers are frequently snapped up
within hundred yards of the sportsman,
and in broad daylight, when shooting in
thick forest; and wolves will prowl round
the villages at night, and come right
into small towns after bowling puppies.
The peasants seldom show fear of them,
and an old woman knew ran out once,
in the lightest of garments, on bitterly
cold night, only armed with a piece of
tin and stick with which she struck it,
shouting loudly to drive off three marau-
ders who howled under her window,
whittier they had come in the hopes of
finding her dogs outside. Some watch
dogs, however, know their enemies, and
defend themselves most bravely and
saw big mongrel Newfoundland that
showed honorable scars gained in sangui-
naryifghts with wolves. One fine morn
ing 1 met young wolf trotting down
the high road in such peaceful, inoffen-
siye manner that l took him for large
dog, and so lost my chance of a shot
by not getting behind covert in time.

Ye men of business, step this way,
Please notice what have to say;
'Tis simply this 1 would advise:
Do not forget to advertise.
The efforts of an honest man,
When made according to this plan,
Can scarcely fail success to bring,
Aud wealth will be certain thing.
How is it with the stingy knavel
DESTROYS all his cash to save;
He gains no wealth, and wins no prize,
Because he does not advertise.
Suppose the cost seems rather high,
Twill surely pay you by and by,
And all the world will soon despise
The man who does not advertise.
Why should you wait? 1t will not pay;
SO send your orders right away
Straight to this sheet, where friendly eye'
Await to see you advertise.

Success it cannot fail to bring.
