PRACTICAL, IP NOT FASHIONABLE.

For pretty and practical short walking

might often be considered with advantage.

notably the Swiss and italian contadine,
who require the greatest ease Of dress for
their labors in the felds-get rid Of belts

wearing their skirts firmly stitched to the

A FRIENDLY sCUFPLE.

When Lees graybacks were making
their way through Pennsylvania toward
Gettysburg, two infantrymen belonging to
Pickett's Virginians raided into Quaker's
house in search of something to eat. They
were met at the door by the owner OF the
premises, who asked:
care ye rebels p
''You bet we are," was the blunt reply.
"And what do you wish here?"
Fodder, old man; and don't you keep
us waiting for it.
"If thee wishes for something to eat.
thou canst have it, said the Quaker to the
spokesman "but trust that ye will take
nothing from the house"
It was poor trust. After the boys had
finished their meal one of them pocketed
watch which was hanging on mai, and
the other seized upon silver cream pitcher
as token of remembrance.
"Are ye thieves as well as rebellious
citizens ?" Indignantly demanded the old
man as he confronted them.
"Stand aside and let us out, or we will
damage you"
"Verily, 1 will not ! Thou must not
rob my house."

him clip on the chin and run for it. -

served the disciple of Penn, as he pushed
up his sleeves and spat on his hands "but
if in friendly scuffle to recover mine own
the robbers should get injured / shall not
have to answer to my conscience"
There was friendly scuffle in the
next York minute, and one of the trio,
who is now resident Of Richmond, Wv
idly remembers his companion complained
of sore throat, dizziness, lame back and
depressed spirits. All the remarks made
after the scufiie commenced were simply
few words dropped by the Quaker to the
effect that:
"I am sorry to put thee out, and sorry
to damage thee, but it is better that thou
shouldst go thy ways up the pike toward
destruction.

COLOR IN DRESS.

We frequently hear it remarked that

the world should lay bright colors by

indeed, black and white dress Is naturaiiY

skin form middle tint between 1ne I"o.
On the other hand, if we come upon a negro
dressed in black, the features and the
pupils of the eyes, which we wish pareicu-
Iarly to see. have vanished we cannot get
rid of the whites of the eyes, which are
forced into startling and unpleasant Tor

of circumstances, are intended only 70 en-

dress. which brings out the dark features
and tones down the white OF the eye, is
the proper wear for dark races. In falr
races the rule-with individual excep'
tions. of course-is that the dark eye
harmonizes the fair skin with the dark
dress, or is a telling point of color when
a light dress is worn. To my mino

happily attired. 1t must be owned, too,
that we have to contend with good many
unfavorable circumstances, and that we are

less for doing it. All lualities-of color,
light and shade and form-are beautifully
perfected in the peasant costume OF various
countries-a result, no doubt, of centuries
of elaboration. Now we suffer constant

MALARIAL GERMS.

THE DEMONS OF LORRAINE.

Charles IL, Duke of Lorraine, travelling
in disguise over his dominions, found a
lodging one night in a farmers house. He
was surprised to find that, after he had
supped, second supper, far more carefully
prepared than his own. was laid on the
table. He asked the farmer if he ex-
pected more guests. "No," replied the
farmer; "but it is Friday, and every
week on this day and at this hour the de.
mons have an interview with the wizards
of the neighborhood in the forest near by.
They dance the devils dance, and then
break up into four bands. The frat OF
these bands comes to supper here, the
other three go to farms not far from mine. ]"
On this Charles asked if they paid for
what they ate. "0n the contrary" re.
piled the farmer, "they carry off whatever
they may take a fancy to, and if they
choose to be discontented with what
we give them, we have bad
time of it. What can one do when
one has to deal with wizards and demons ?"
After hearing this, 81 lie prince, etonne,
voulut, apprsfondir ce mystere." He sent
off one Of his followers to ride full speed
to Toul about three leagues distant About
2 in the morning crowd Of wizards,
witches and demons came into the farm
house. Some were got up to look like
bears, some had horns, and some had claws.
No sooner had they sat down to the supper
prepared for them than Charles equerry
reappeared followed by a troop Of gen.
darmes The Duke then observed, with
great good sense, that this sitting down to
supper of sorcerers and demons was very
incongruous, and had them all arrested.
More arrests followed this, and the de-
monaical celebrators of the "Sabbat "
turned out to be company of brigands,
who found an easy way to pillage in their
diabolical disguise. lie Due de Lorraine

With glory OF winter sunshine
Over his locks Of gray,
In the old historic mansion
He sat on his last birthday,
With his books and his pleasant pictures
And his household and his kin,
While sound as of myriads singing
From far ard near stole in.
1t came from his own fair city,
From the prsirie's boundless plain,
From the Golden Gate of sunset,
And the cedarn woods Of Maine.
And his heart grew warm within him,
And his moistened eyes grew dim,
For he knew that his country's children
Were singing the songs Of him;
The lays of his llfe's glad morning,
The psalms of his evening time,
Whose echoes shall float forever
On the winds of every cline.
: II their beautiful consultations,
Sent forth like birds of cheer,
Came fiocking back 20 his windows,
And sang in the poets ear.
Grateful, but solemn and tender,
The music rose and fell
With joy akin to sadness
And greeting like farewell.
With q sense of awe he listened
To the voices sweet and young
The last OF earth and the first of heaven
Seemed in the songs they sung.
And waiting little longer
For the wonderful change to come,
He heard the Summoning Angel
Who calls Gods children home
And to him, in holier welcome,
Was the mystical meaning given
OF the words of the blessed Master:
OF such is the kingdom of Heaven ?!
