Clara Belle on Brides.

new YORK Cor. Gin. Enquirer. So
a great many Of us are coming back ia
town to get married. The firtations Of
July became serious intentions in August.
and matrimonial engagements in Septem.
ber, with weddings prospective for October.
November and December. Having settled
the comparatively minor matter Of choos-
ing husband, the fashionable girl now
turns her heartfelt attention to getting her
SELF satisfactorily dressed for marriage; also
tobetterlne her person. She desires above all
things to be at least pretty, if not beautiful,
on that awful occasion, and to accomplish
that purpose she goes through all the re-
juvenation possible. / met girl at Sarato-
ga who told me that she was trying to fat
ten herself tor bridal. The affianced hus
band was an ardent admirer of plumpness.
and she was rather lean. The amount
of oatmeal and cream she consumed was
marvellous, and she lolled around all day
long, refusing to dance even, for fear of
working off an ounce Of flesh. "A month of
that kind of treatment increased her weight
nire pounds; but it didn't improve her ap-
pearance, to my mind, because she had a
fat, porky look in her face, and her skin
became bad from Indigestion. The wiser
system commonly adopted BY afianced
wives is a plain, neurishing diet, plenty of
exercise, and long, regular hours of sleep.
These brace her up in health, and an i'm
proved appearance is the consequence. IN
addition to these measures, she does all
the artificial identifying that may be posi-
BILE in her particular case. Her mouth is
repaired by dentist; If there is ANYTHING
that can be done to her teeth. and it is as.
founding what the dentists of the present
day can accomplish in the way of whiten-
ing and Strengthening. If any oe the natur-
al teeth be gone, or in such condition as
to. make extraction advisable, then false
ones are cleverly adjusted; and the prac-
tice Of making these not quite
perfect, either in shape or color,
has become 80 common that
the false can hardly be distinguished from
the real. She goes to manicure aud pedi-
cure, who. fixes up her hands and feet, shap-
ing and furnishing The nails, removing
corns and Gallons spots, and smoothing the
skin with lotion. This part of the work
sometimes includes the removal of hair
from the arms and legs, for most brunettes
are subject to too much hirsute growth.
The sensible girl will omit this, and let her
husband see the defect, if it be one, while
she is brand new wife, and not 20 to him
smooth as alabaster, only to become hairy
after the charm of novelty is gone from her.
The best thing she can do for her complex
ion is to eschew paint, and let physician
endevor to drive the humors out Of her
blood. This should be done long enough
before the wedding, for the publication al
most always temporarily roughens the skin.
Turkish baths are now fashionable for girls
near matrimony, the belief being that they
lmpart healthy s0ftness and glow.

ROLL-CALL.

Corporal Green!" the Orderly cried:
Here! was the answer, loud and clear.
From the lips OF the soldier who stood near:
And Here was the word the next replied
ssCyrus Drew !"-then silence fell
This time no answer followed the call;
Only his rearman had seen him fall,
Killed or wounded he could not tell.
There they stood in the failing light
These men Of battle, with grave, dark looks,
AZ plain to be read as open books,
While slowly gathered the shades Of night
blood,
And down in the corn were the peoples grew,
We're redder stains than the peoples knew; 4
And crimson-dy was the rivers flood
For the foe had crossed from the other side ~
That day in the face of murderous fire,
That swept them down in it's terrible ire,
And their life blood went to color the tide.
"Herbert Kline!" At the call there came
Two stalwart soldiers into the line,
Bearing between them this Herbert Kline,
Wounded and bleeding, to answer his name
&sEzra Kerr! n-And voice answered, stHere!"
Hiram Kerr !-but no man replied.
They were brothers, these two; the sad
winds sighed,
And shudder crept through the corn field
near.
t'Ephraim Deane! then soldier spoke:
Deane carried our regiments col0rs,'' he
said;
Where our ensign was shot, left him dead,
just after the enemy wavered and broke
"Close to the roadside his body lies;
paused moment and gave him drink;
he murmured his mothers name, I think,
And Death came with it, and closed his eyes y
Twas victory; yes, bnt it cost us dear
For that company's roll, when called atnight,
Ut hundred men who went INTO the fight,
Numbered but twenty that answered s'Here"

FROM BEER TO "a BAR1ONY.
The Career of the Msjoribanks amiIy and
Other English Brewers.

The Career of the Msjoribanxs Family and
Other English Brewers.
From the Utica Observer. ls.5s q
The first English beer lord has been cre-
ated in the person of Sir Dudley Coutts
MaJorlbanks, the London brewer, whom
Gladstone has just made q baron. He IL
not the first brewer, however, TO reach the;
beerage, since Irish Sir Arthur Guinness
OF Dublin stout fame was last year made
Lord Ardilawn. Very many English brew
ers,' notably the Basses, have been knight
ed, created Baronets, etc., but Sir Dudley
is the first to rise to the house Of lords over
the watts. The father Of this new beer was
Scotch lad who came to London many
years ago with letter Of introduction to
Banker Coutts, setting forth the bearer and
urging that he be appointed to place in
one of the East Indian branches Of the
he boy and asked him one day.
What would you say to / enter
ing my counting room here, instead OF be-
ing exiled way off in India p The boys
eyes gllstened with pleasure as he heard
these words. He stayed in London, rose
70 be senior partner Of the bank, and left
fortune of over $500, 900. For his son,
Dudley Coutts-named, we need scarcely
say, for the benefactor Of his youth-he
bought q third interest in Meux' brewery
IN London, an interest which has been worth Z
for many years quite 100000 per annum.
The new Beer has been more celebrated
for the profuseness of his hospitality and
the aristocratic tendencies of his family
than for his abilities. His Hyde Park
mansion is one of the finest in London,
and his eldest son married the Duke Of
Marlborough daughter, while his eldest
daughter is wife Of the blue blooded John
Campbell Gordon, Earl Of Aberdeen. The
brewer is now as completely merged into
nobility as possible, and doubtless trusts
that few generations of titled ease will
wash every faint or plebian trade from his
escutcheon. But long before the MAORI
people of Great Britain will probably have
soured upon the whole system of Lords.

Mothers May Read These Hints.
rom the Boston Transcript,

5 81
When your daughter performes task in
an ill-fashioned manner, always say.
aThera!" might as we'll have done it NY
self III the first place." and then take the
work out of her hand and do it
yourself. This will encourage
the girl not to try to do the thing next time
she is set about it.
Never permit your son to have any amuse-
ment at home. This will induce him to
seek it in places where you will not be an
noyed by his noise.
There is no place like home. Impress
this truth upon your children by making
home Us disagreeable and as unlike any
other place as possible.
Never neglect the lock on the pantry.
Some boys have probably turned out first
class house breakers all on account of this
judicious treatment in early childhood.
Never permit your children to contradict.
Let them know that that is your peculiar
5prer0gative.
In chiding your children's faults, never
forget to mention how much better the
Jones children behave. This will cause
your little ones everlastingly to love the
Jones children.
Take frequent occasion to tell your chill
dren how much more favored their lot il
than yours was when you were a girl. It is
always pleasant to children to be constantly
reminded Of their obligations.
Don't let your son indulge in any kind Of
outdoor games. Keep him to his books. It
will make great man of him some day, if
he should happen to live,
Your girls should never be permitted to
romp. Let them grow into interesting in
valids, by all means. 3s 81 H 4
Be gentle and courteous before company;
but If You have temper, let your children
have taste Of it as often as convenient. A
mother should never practice deception
upon her brood. s
Talk slightly Of your husband to your
boys and girls. This will make them re-
spect their father.
Tell your child he shall not do q thing,
and then let him tease you into giving your
consent. This will teach him what to do
on subsequent occasions.
Make promises to your children. and
then neglect to keep them. This will lead
your children not to keep too much reliance
upon your word, and shield them from
many disappo continents.

AS TO HUGGrNG.

We are sorry to see so many Of the
humorous papers find any fun in the
incident of the girl at keokul who was
Rugged 10 death by her lover. He had
proposed to her in her fathers parlor
and she had accepted him in momen,
OF ecstacy he Rugged her to his breast
and she died at once. The young man
was horror.stricken, and called her pa
rents. 1t Is supposed that she died Of
heart disease. The case was very sad
indeed, and papers should not make
fun OF an occurrence that brings so
much sadness. However, while this
ease is fresh in the minds of old and
young, we will embrace the oppOrtu-
nifty, and embrace it gently, for fear
we will kill it. to again impress upon
young people what we have so often
advised. and that is to be unusually
careful how they hug girls. Many a
young man hugs girls almost to death.
and he never knows how near he comes
TO being murderer. Girls nowadays
are not what they used 10 he when you
and were young, Maggie. They can
not stand as much grief now as girls
did twenty years ago. Somehow. they
don't seem TO put up for hugging. If
man puts his arm around seventeen
year-old girl of the present day. and
sort of closes in on the belt, he expects
to hear something break. Many a hui
name man lets go before he has got a
girl half Rugged because the girl looks
So irail that he is afraid he will break
her in two. of course there are eXcep-
tons to the frail girls. but the majority
are to much like a bundle of asparagus.
Some of the girls of the present day
are robust. and seem to 5e offended if a
person lets up on the hugging on their
account. and it is said that they hug
back with vigor which reminds a
men of the days of long ago. but they
are few and far between. Too much
care cannot be exercised in putting
arms around the Young girls of to-day.
and we would wish TO impress this fact
upon the minds of the Young men who
are Just coming upon the stage of action
of course. men along in twenty do not
need advice The boys are apt to pnt
more force into the right arm than
they are aware of, IA hundred per cent.
more than they would be apt to do in
sawin" wood. or CARRYING up scuttle
OF coal. They should bear in mind
that girls are too valuable to be used in
developing the muscles. as You would
in gymnasium. You don't have to
squeeze girl till her liver is forced
from its normal position, and she chokeS
and catches her breath. to show her
that You love her \ gentle squeeze
of t he hand. the stealing OF the arm
around her waist when She is not lock-
ing. and the least pressure upon her
belt, is all the law requires. She can
