A Real Necessity.

We persume there is hardly lady
to be found in our broad land who, il
she does not already possess sewing
machine, expects some day to become
the owner of one.
The household of young wife is
now considered incomplete without a
sewing machine.
Next to her lover the thought upper
most in the mind of the maiden
fast blooming into womanhood is a
sewing machine.
When asked by her parents or affi-
anced what her Christmas or birthday
present shall be, the answer in ma
jority OF cases is, "a sewing ma
chine"
But after the mind has been fully
made up to purchase one of these in
dispensable articles, the question
arises as to what kind of machine to
buy.
1t should be so simply constructed
that the most inexperienced can sue
cessfully operate it. The other points
mainly to be considered, and which
are the most desirable, are durability,
rapidity, capacity for work, ease of
OF operation, regularity of motion,
uniformity of tension, and silence
while in operation.
The Light Running new Home"
fills the above requirements, ard is
said TO combine the good points of all
other sewing machines, with the addi-
ton OF many new improvements and
labor-saving devices.
The price is no higher than that Of
other machines, and every lady who
is the happy possessor of one may rest
assured she has indeed treasure.

A LESSON IN EQUESTRIANISM

Horseback riding is an art and ben
ehcial exercise and one of the most
judcious habits that one could cult
vate. While it affords the equestrian
every opportunity for the cultivation
of graceful posing, it comprises all
the healthful elements Of the most
invigorating pleasures, Like all else
in this world, however, if INDUCED in
immorderately, the results are ex-
tremely painful, and oft times dan
gerous. Called limbs, and Piles that
itch intensely, particularly after get
ting warm in bed, are not infrequent-
ly the result Of the saddle. In suih
cases, however, the evil can be currd
by applying Swayne's Ointment,
which as a cure for Piles--itching or
otherwise, has no equal.

The Man Who Buys His wifs's Things.


The happiest homes are those where
the husband interferes never at all in the
household management, but turns over
to the wife the money for the house,
and leaves the rest for her. / can APP
preciate the man who goes to market If
he does not go out for economy-to get
butter cent or two less pound, or
cheaper cuts of beef-but because he
wants the best there is to be had. Men
are more skillful, more generous mar
keters, than women. They are free
with money when delcacies are offered;
they will have the first of the season of
everything, cost what it may. And the
market people seldom try to pull the
wool over their eyes, as they sometimes
do with women, and palm off uponlthem
second rate articles at lirst-rate prices.
Men are not to be humbugged when
the stomach is in question. But mar
keting is not mans business. The
wife should control that as she should
everything which pertains to house.
keeping. Ii, however, there is anything
to be said in favor of the man who does

How He SURPRISED Them.

1t is said that at some point in every
mans life he will do something to sur
prise his friends. but chap in Detroit,
says the Free Press, did more than that
the other day. He was a comparative
stranger, who made his headquarters in
a Michigan avenue saloon. He was old
and ragged, and it was not always that
he had a nickel about him. He brought
in the fuel for the stove, helped to scrub
out, and was tolerated on account of
his good nature. Everybody played
him for half-wit, and no one dreamed
that he had it in him to create a sur
prise, unless it was by refusing drink.
Two or three evenings since, a boy IL
years old, ragged, barefooted, barehead-
ed, and with the stains of tears on his
cheeks entered the saloon and softly ask
ed one of the dozen men in there for a
penny to buy bread with. Hewas rough
ly refused, when up spoke the old tramp
and said:
Gentlemen, here is q poor orphan
boy who has asked for money to buy
bread. and been refused. | am only a
poor old man, ragged and hungry and
almost penniless, but can't stand that.
I've got a whole quarter for that poor
boyr'
That was the first surprise. For a
minute no one spoke. Then eight or ten
voices cried in chorus: 80 have IT. and
it wasn't five minutes before purse of
$500 was made up for the forlorn and
hungry lad. The old man rose seventy
five per cent. in the estimation of those
who knew him. and the boy cried some
more and went out with the money
Two minutes later the old man slipped
out, and five minutes later he and the
boy divided the proceeds under the gas
light on the corner. 1t wasn't exactly a
whack, for the old chap took SO and left
the boy twenty cents. When it was
known in the saloon fourteen determin-
ed men rushed out and cantered up and
down, and detained by the great horn
spoon, but they didn't find the big-heart-
ed old tramp whose heart had been
touched. He had gone to refresh him
self with an oyster stew.

TINE PEABODY FUND.

In 1867, when Mr.. Peabody made his
magnificent bequest Of million dollars
for educational purposes in the South
he gave to the trustees, in addition
bonds of the State of Mississippi
amounting, with interest, TO more than
another million dollars, with directions
that they should be added to tho fund
The validity of these bonds had never
been questioned mp to that date. Like
the majority Of Mississippi obligations
tho interest on them had lapsed, but the
honest and largo hearted banker mover
imagined that principal and interest
would ever be repudiated. Mr.. Pea
body. however, did not know the stuff
OF which the average politician down
that way is made, for in less than ton
years from the time he put his splendid
idea iuto execution the people of Mis-
sissippi had wiped out the Peabody
debt by constitutional amendment and
the Legislature had Endorsed their ac-
ton. There are many deep and III
offaceable stains on the financial record
Of Mississippi, but this is probably the
darkest of all. To add to her dishonor
however, Mississippi has consented to
receive from what is left of tho Pea.
body fluid tho sum Of nearly seventy
thousand dollars. For the good name
Of tho State it Is to DO hoped the appeaI
Of the trustees Of the fund which il
now being made to right this Rrea,
wrong and injustice to the whole South
ern people will meet with a favorable
response. To rob charitable fund
should be too low a depth Of repudia
ton for even Mississippi.
