The Grand Dukes TallOw Candle.

From many amusing anecdotes of the
Russian imperial family related in the
late Karl Bender's memoirs, is the fol.
lowing highly characteristic story of the
eccentric Grand Duke Constantine, Gar
Alexander's eldest uncle. While resid-
ing at Warsaw, Constantine gave n
splendid banquet to a number of the
great Polish mobiles, to each of whom, mt
the conclusion of the feast, an ordinary
tallow candle was served on plate 10y
the attendant lacqueys. AS soon as all
his guests were supplied with these pc
culiarly unappetizing objects, the Grand
Duke, who had given orders that an imi
tation candle, admirably executed IN
marchpane, should be placed upon his
plate, rose from his seat and exclaimed {:
Gentlemen, let us eat, TO the honor
of Russia, the favorite national comesti-
bic of my country Look at me. This
is the way to do 1t. T."
So saying, he threw back his head,
opened his mouth wide, aud inserted
therein two inches or SO o: the dainty III
question. AS he closed his teeth, how
ever, the expression of his countenauce
suffered an extraordinary exchange. One
OF the noblemen, sitting in his imne-
date vicinity, had contrived TO substi-
tute his own genuine tailow candle for
the marchpane imitation set before the
Grand Duke, who, not choosing to be-
tray himself to his guests, found himself
condemned to chew ut least one copious
mouthful of good Russian tallow as an
example TO all the victims of his detest-
able Jest, none of whom dared to alb
stain doing as the terrible Constantine
did. 1t is needless TO say that the dcx-
ferrous appropriation of the marchpane
candle, while devouring that toothsome
article with joyful heart, bafiied sus-
picion by the most hideous visual con-
tortions expressive of loathing aud nau-

Village Tree Planting.

Our enthusiastic young minister, with
an eye and heart for what is beautiful
and good, devised the plan, and it was
executed to the letter. The sturdy far
mers, old and young, gathered on an APP
pointed afternoon, and planted goodly
number of trees, elms, naples and ever
green's, about the church.
At tho close of the day, the ladies pro-
vided a sumptuous repast, and the even
ing was spent IN social enjoyment.
Years have passed away, and so have
many of those whose hands wrought SO
worthily and cheerfully on that autumn
day. The youths and maidens of that
time are mature men and matrons now.
Fifteen years of toll and care have sprink-
led gray hairs on many head; but
those trees are growing and increasing
in vigor every year-and now, in their
youthful prime, cast grateful shodow

Building up Ladies Forms.

Clara Belle went to one of the most
fashionable New York dressmakers, and
asked her to state frankly whether it was
or was not common to "build up, or
round out the forms of her customers. !"
"Oh, my, yes" the artist replied, "but
not in the way that is generally supposed.
There is current libel against our sex
that we pad our busts. The truth is,
solemnly assure you, that snch thing is
not done more than one in twenty, on
the average, simply because 1t Is not
needed. The desire to swell like pigeon
is not common in the female breast, and
L hear more complaint of too much in
that matter than of too little. The chief
trouble with female forms, rs every
dressmaker knows, is irregularity. The
number of women whose two sides
do not correspond is wonderful. Some
times one shoulder Is higher than the
other, sometimes the hip is bigger, and
sometimes the whole figure is awry.
Perhaps men are misshapen, but, if so,
their clothing Is not such as to reveal
small deformities. Women's dress, how
ever, Ill this era of clinging garments,
reveals every imperfection. unless art
comes to Natures help. The first thing
L do when about to fit dress, is to
critically examine the shape of the
wearer If the two sides of her are not
unlike, pad out the hollows. The public
little suspects how many women wear a
cushion on one shoulder or hip. Having
secured smooth, uniform foundation, L
can lay on the finery with good effect.
OF course we can't do much for a fieshy
woman. In her case all depends on how
much girting In at the waist she can
bear, and how much depression by an
abdominal corset. But thin woman
can Ill nearly every instance be greatly
improved. In the first place, her body
usually lacks taper Though it is charm
ingly small at the belt line, it has a dis
enchanting absence of swell above and
below. We therefore pad her dress
waist at the sides, beginning thick at her
armpits and thinning gradually down.

shapely. If she will not be persuaded
out OF wearing tight sleeves, we have to
hide her scrawniness.of arms by padding
shoulder to elbow. The one thing we
can't hide is STOPPING, and that is a sadly
common defect i'll American women
Round backs are distressingly numerous,
and what can we do for them? Nothing
at all. L feel sometimes like putting
them asoak, and then strapping them
flat on board, papoose fashion. in the
hope of Strengthening them. Parents
ought to look sharp after their little
girls i'll this particular, and put braces

Cultivation Of Self-Respect.

A child that is uniformly treated with
courtesy, with consideration. with JUS
tice, will unconsciously deem himself
worthy of such treatment, and will be-
come worthy of it, unless he Is by nature
wholly base; and he will unconsciously
treat others as he is treated. 1t IS fear
full thing to give child the lie, to accuse
HIM of stealing, to accustom him to un-
expected and unmerited blows and cuffs.
He may merit punishment, but the wise
parent never will admit into the house
hold vocabulary the terrible words liar
and "thief," and will never permit In
himself or others the hasty blow, the
bitter taunt, the stinging epithet The
refined ana educated parent can never
tolerate such language as we have indl-
Gated. Bitter words are more cruel than
blows and inflict more lasting injuries
Care in the choice of associates will do
much to foster self-respect in a child.
Some mothers think their sons and
daughters can go where they choose and
play with whom they please, and come
out all well in the end. There never was
greater mistake. AS we'll might one
think it no difference what air we
breathe. Children are quicker than we
to catch the tone of associates, to pick
up slang words, bad grammar, vulgar
ideas-these often seem to be taken III
through the very pores, as typhoid poison
is. when least expected. Care in the
choice of reading will do much to foster
due self-respect i'll child The boy
who grows up with familiar knowledge
of Washington. of Franklin, of Lincoln,
and other great men who have been the
glory of the nations in which they have
been conspicuous, wnl be far more likely
to find his mind filled with noble images,
with high ideals, with lofty ambitions,
than one who reads sensational newspa-
