PErEEsoN's MAGAzINE for January is
tie most superb ever issued Of that popular
lady's book. There are two steel cngrayings,
"Happy As 4 Queen" and playing At
Doctor" the-attcr one Of the most amusing
Of its kind we have almost ever seen. Be
sides these, there is a double-size, steel,
Paris fashion plate, elegantly colored, pic
ture in itself; and also a yery.beautilul col
ored pattern for working in creNel: " sun
Flower" design, an establishment alono as
expensive as the finest chrome. IL aHMere
are a5om ffly engrGrings in the number,
counting the wood engravings Tie stories
are al original, and by such writers as Mrs
Ann :. Stephens, Mrs. r. Harding Davis,
frank Lee Benedict, " Josiah Aliens Wife,
Jane G. Austin, etc, etc, galaxy that nc
other lady's book can show There is also
an illustrated article on Paris And The
Parisians," quite superior to what we see
generally in magazines. With thisnumber
agoears, as a Supplement, q{aN-siscd diagram
pattern for a Coat Bodice for lady, the last
ching in fashion. This alone is worth the
price of the number Peterson" claims to
combine more than any other monthly, be
ing a magazine, not only of literature, but
Of art and fashion also. Where only one
magazine Is taken, this, il seems 70 Us, i
/ the one to take. Where several are taken,
Peterson" should be one Of them. The
price is astonishiugly low, viz: $2.Ooa copy,
for one year, postage paid To clubs, it is
lower still, viz: four copies fos 5000, with
IN extra copy gratis to the person getting
up the club, or FIVE copies for $500, and
both an extra copy and superb premium
nezzotint, Hush, Don't Wake Them" or
an elegant Photograph Album. Specimens
Of the magazine sent gratis to persons wish

RoBT. r. CoRsoY, Esq, Dear Sir
In my earlier days explored number of
notable caverns including the Mammoth
Cave" in Kentucky and "Weyers" in Vir-
cina, and since that time confined my oh
servations to views above ground, under the
belief that nature had no more subterrane-
an surprises nor cncLanments in store for
me.
must confess, however, that my recent
visit to the Cave at Luray hes been new
revelation, surprising as that does all had
previously seen, in the richness and protG-
sion of lis ornamcntation and is wierd and
dramatic effects especially when illumina-
ted by the electric lights recently .introduc-

And eyes of blue.
Why. cen her very bonnet
Was worthy OF q sonnet;
Her kerchief, too.
Her dress, 50 neat and simple.
Her cheeks-there was q dinple
in either one.
And then her hair! Il could not
lie straight and smooth, or would not,
and Oft the sun
Caught in i.s golden splendor,
As # new charm TO lend her,
And she, 50 fair,
Had need of no enhancing
! think She was enhancing
Beyond compare.
Indeed you had seen her,
With her sweet, quaint demeanor
There, in her pew,
You would have felt rs did,
And quickly have decided
What you would do.
! wrote TO her letter,
And ! said ] loved her better
Fen than my life.
And now that little Quaker,
As sweet as love could make her,
She is my Wife.

When to Use Gestures.

A writer in the Golden Rule rebnkes
the tendency co gushing and overtime
style in literature as well as in oratory.
and emphasizes a useful hint as fol-
lows:
A young lady in France, placed nm
der the tuition of 1--WE think) Madam
Clarion, was constantly offending her
teacher by excessive action with her
arms. She was in the habit of finging
them about in supererogatory way,
which tore passion to tatters, in Circles
yein." After many, admonitions the
lady resolved to tie her pupils hands to
her sides with q piece of string.
Now said the girl, II can't move
them at all. s1--r ~.
go on with your part" kindly re-
piled the other. smiling. -
And go on she did, with e1ocution ali
the better for action the less. At last,
on reaching the climax of her part. her
excitement nerved her little wrists, she
burst the strings. and as your charwo-
nam would phrase it, she '.gestulated'
with great vehemence. When it was
ever, she apologized with tears in her
eyes, saying she really couldn't help
it. To her. surprise, her instructress
praised her action this time. ~ glap
*'That, mon enfanf, is what we want.
Reserve your vehement displays OF
feeling till you cannot help making
them, and they will be both apprepri-
ate and successful
Surely the lesson is large one. Out
ct energy, with readiness to strike the
iron when (but not before) it is hot, is
the secret of success in most undertake
ings.

The Needla's Eve.

The passage from the New Testament,
at is easier for camel, ETC., has per-
picked many good men who have read
it literally. In Oriental cities there are
in the large gates, small and very low
apertures, called n,etaphorically .'nee-
dies eyes," just as we talk of windows
on shipboard as ''bhlrs eyes. " These
entrances arc too marrow for n camel to
pass through them III the ordinary man
ner, or even if loaded. When loaded
camel has to pass through one of these
entrances it kneels down. its load is re-
moved, and then it shl,ffies through on
its knees. Yesterday writes Lady
Duff Gordon from Cairo. II saw camel
go through the eye of a needle, that is,
lie low, arrhed door of an enclosure.
He must kneel and bow his head to
