o. r. KEITH Il Co., the representative Fancy
Dry Goods, Notions and Millinery house of Chi
sago, have made the amplest arrangements for a
greatly enlarged trade the present spring sea-
son. Their mammoth store of six floors, l60x17j
feet, shows an immense stock of almost every
thing in the dry-goods line. For several years,
they have been adding new lines of goods to
their former stock, and their business has
nearly doubled each year for the last three
years. This new departure of ahouse with such
an established reputation, large capital and
business, by which it practically becomes one
of the great general dry-goods houses for
which Chicago is so famous, is Of general in
terest to the trade and the public. Its great
enterprise, large experience and unsurpassed
facilities for obtaining the choicest fabrics
and latest styles from the great fashion cen
tiers Of Europe, and in the worlds best mar
kets, must make it the leading house in its
lines in this country. I -

The fact that kaleidoscopes are more
than mere toys win be surprise to many
people. But they are sod here in New
York by opticians at a high price and
made with expensive lenses. These ex-
pensive ones are used in all sorts. of in
dustrial drawing and designing. Archi-
tects sometimes take designs from them
for architectural ornaments, and carpet
designers also employ them. The center
pieces made Of plaster-o o. Paris for cell
'ings are so designed. But the greatest
use of the kaleidoscope is said to be in
the manufacture of round stained glass
windows. - Christian Union. .f

John PlOwman's Talks.

Self Is always at home.
Water plants before they wither.
Soft words scald not the mouth.
Sunday is the summer of the
week.
One tale is good till another is
Care makes a man old before his
time.
That which covers thee discov-
ers thee.
Mind the corner where life's road
turns.
Christ saves sinners from being
sinners.
Don't ask a great plaster for a
small sore.
If you SOW thorns, you will not
reap roses.
Down with the nests and the
rocks will go.
Good stuff is often twisted into
queer shapes,
Don't spare the butcher, and fee
the doctor.
Have no friends you dare not
bring home.
One mans fault should be an
other mans lesson.
Flowers smell sweet whether
men are near or not.
He who gives before we ask, will
give W hen we ask.
When prayers are strongest, mer-
Giles are nearest.
The goodness of news half lies in
the hearers ears.
It's no use mending the tank,
when the water is gone,
Stand ON your head, and the
world will be upside down.

Century.

If the day is fine the Queen
drives to Frogmore in an open car
riage, and there breakfasts in the
house, unless the weather is very
hot, when her Majesty takes the
meal in Il tent on the lawn, and
reads her private letters and news
papers The Queen never takes up
a newspaper that has not been pre-
viously perused by a lady III wait
ing, who marks all the passages
which she thinks would interest
her Majesty, who is supposed to
look at nothing that is not marked
Afterward the Queen goes to an
other room or to another tent and
proceeds to the business Of the day :;
there are seldom less than twenty
and often more than thirty boxes
to be gone through, and d groom is
kept constantly riding between the
Queen at Frogmore and Sir Henry
Ponsonby at the Castle. After
about three hours of .ncessant work
her Majesty drives back to the
castle with the boxes in the car
rage, and they are then carried up
stairs on tray and sorted aud dis
patched by Sir Henry Ponsonby.
Then her Majesty lunches with
Princess Beatrice and any other
members of her family who are at
the castle; and. unless there is any
ceremony of state appointed for
the day, they afterward take walk
IN the sunk garden or on the
slopes, and later go out for a drive.
On their return they retire for d
little necessary rest before prepar-
ing for dinner, which brings the
Gays visitors. The only part of the
Queens daily routine which never
wares is the morning work, which
comes rs regularly as that of any
clerk in the city, and everything
Is done by her Majesty with con
sclentions thornughness. The
Queen looks into everything her
s.It, and the public have little idea
OF the prodigl0uS number and va
fIety Of the subjects which come
before her for decision.
1t Is an axiom among all who
nave served the Queen that if they
can only get their case looked into
by her Majesty, strict justice is as
ssured. AT Windsor her life is more
!aoorlous than elsewhere, from the
lhcessant visitors and ceremonies
ana the impossibility OF getting
away from the pomp and pageant
ry OF q Court. There is nothing
which her Majesty so much dis
Nkes at the Castle as the innumer-
able sentries, who are everywhere
To be seen, and whose monotonous
tramp never ceases along the east
terrace, underneath the windows of

Winter Decorations.
BY NULLA.

The fashion of using natural
grasses, leaves and berries for in
door decoration, is one that ought
not to be allowed to pass away.
Happy is the tousekeeper who has
Il stock Of marsh grasses, cat-tails,
etc, and some big vases suitable
for their reception. How we coun-
try people stare when we see our
city cousins carrying off bundles of
grain and boxes of weeds when
they return to their honest But
if by chance we follow them, and
see how these common things are
arranged by deft fingers into grace
ful ornaments, we resolve to make
use OF them too, for the adornment
of our homes.
A large vase is the first requi-
site for the making-up of a pretty
corner effect. Oneof those old fash
Toned pickle-jaro which we spent SO
much time in painting while the
ceramic craze" was upon us, will
be just the thing. A square box
covered with gray moss and Itch
rns will do nicely for d pedestal. A
few cat-tails. which should have
long stems, even i one is obliged
to splice them out, some graceful
swamp grasses (the varieties Of
which are SO numerous that can
not undertake to name them), and
sprays of grain are Just what are
needed to fill the vase. But beware
Of crowding your vase. Let each
specimen reveal its own individu-
atty. With this simple arrange
ment, one corner Of your parlor is
handsomely decorated without any
expense.
There is nothing new about COW
eripg picture cords with sprays of
arbor vitae or ground pine; but it
makes Christmas seem more like
the ChristmasSes of which we read,
if the air is filled with the delicate
resinous perfumes of e9ergrepns.
A few sprays Of bitter-sweet, scar
let night-shade or holly berries
brighten up the evergreen, and
give the room cheerful air.
Autumn leaves give the best sat
isfaction when prepared as follows:
Fill pint basin two-thirds full OF
hot water, and shave some para
fine wax into it. When the wax
is thoroughly melted dip the
leaves in it quickly, giving each
leaf a slight shake as you lift it
from the wax, to remove any drops
which. may adhere to the tips. The
wax must be kept hot, SO that the
leaf may receive only light coat
ing. OF course the leaves must
have been previously pressed until
perfectly dry. Leaves prepared in
this way will keep for years, re-
timing their colors as well as when
first prepared, if they are protected
from dust. Ferns will not submit
to this treatment gracefully, and in
fact / have never found anything
which will preserve their color
when exposed to the light. The
only way is to have an unlimited
supply, and when one set fades fill
its place with another A supply
of ivies is often very convenient
for winter decoration. | always
bring some fine sprays Of German
ivy into the house before frost
comes. BY putting the stems in
bottles which are filled with water
and hidden behind pictures, they
may be used very effectively. They
will often take root, and if they
have enough light and the temper

A Queer story.

One of the big "cotton bulls" feeling that
he was going to scoop in heavy profit on
Futures" concluded to send to Paris for a
$500 90 fur lined circular for his wife; the
Circular arrived at the custom house, but
in the meantime the bottom fell o1t of cot
ton, and the cotton bull' was unable to pay
the import duties, as he had all his money
upon 'margin:" as matter of course, the
Circular was sold at auction to pay the inn
port duties, and who do you suppose the
purchaser was? Why, it was j. III. Plsut,
to be sure. He has always the ready cash,
and never puts his money up on margins,
and is always on the lookout to catch soft
snaps, thus giving his customers the benefit
of his experience and shrewdness. The
moral to this little story is this: never to go
too strong on the ''bull" side of cotton or
wheat, as you may chance to hit the bottom
"ka-chunk," like some of our friends have.
This fine Circular obtained in such queer
way, is to be on exhibition at J. Fl Plants
new store, for one week only, and parties
wishing to purchase can do so at about %
per cent OF the import duties.
In connection with the above there is also
fine Silk Furlined Dolman, bought in the
same way, which will also be on exhibition,
and for sale.
These two wraps are beauties and the
ladies are all invited to examine them.
They are to be exhibited for ONE week ONLY,
and the ladies who do not SEE them, will
miss rare treat.
