Lady readers who have not tested
the magic properties of borax have
been loosing great help and comfort.
If once used you will never be without
bottle on the toilet table. 1t re
moves stains and dirt from the hand
better than soap, and at the same time
smoothes and softens the skin. 1t is
splendid for washing the hair, and
will, without injury, cleanse, brushes
and combs in few moments. For
washing purposes it saves both soap
and labor.
1t will extract the dirt from articles
of delicate texture without rubbing,
only necessary to put the articles to
soak in solution of borax over night,
and they need only to be rinsed in the
morning. Two tablespoonful of pull
verified borax dissolved in a quart Of
water to which water enough is added
to cover a pair of blankets, will clensG
them beautifully.
1t also saves great labor in washing
paint. 1t is said TO drive away ants
and reaches, if sprinkled on the shelves
of safes and pantries.

There Is no one thing that shows the
falling on in American brain 80 much
as the habit certain young star span
gled Americans haveof blindly follow
ing fashions in dress. And among all
the fashions that are ludicrous there
is none that makes a man with brain
so tired rs the tight pants that are be-.
ing worn by some Of the society ducks.
A man who has leg that is big
enough to be seen with the naked eye
can indulge in reasonably tight pants,
aud not make n show Of himself, but
for young masher whose leg is about
the shape Of a cistern pole, and the
shape Of n lath, to enoase il in a Gov
ering of gaudily colored gun.case ma
terial, Is too-too. A young man
called on a sarcastic girl a few even
ings since, his legs done up in the
tightest Of pants legs, and she looked
very sad and her eyes had a far away
look. He asked her what il was that
caused her TO be troubled. She looked
at his large, generous, fiddle.box feet
and said she had been wondering how
he got his feet through the legs,
whether he unscrewed them and took
them of, or whether there was a hinge
in the ankle so he could straighten
them out. AT a picnic recently a
young man with tight green pants was
lying under tree, when a farmer
who had brought some milk TO the
picnickers took n stick and struck one
of the legs real hard. The young
man felt hurt and jumped to his feet,
demanding an explanation. The farm.
err said he saw it lying there and
thought it was a striped snake. There
are many things the small legs and
tight pants could be used for, il the
slimness is going to remain in fashion
for any length Of time. liza tip could
be arranged to fasten on the foot, and
a reel could be strapped on the thigh,
and little loops made along the leg to
run a line through, the fashionable
young gent could use his leg for fish
ing tackle. To see couple Of the
slim legs in the office of hotel,
among other fair sized legs one thinks
of a couple Of stalks of asparagus,
and wonders how vine would look
climbing up the legs. What a place
such legs would be for string beans to
cling TO. But there is one thing such
pants are good for. No ant can crawl
up such a pair of trousers, to make
life burden to the wearer. There is
always much sympathy expressed to
the owner Of condensed legs, encased
in gun covers. There is feeling that
the owner of them is in danger OF
having them broken of by dog run
ming against them, or falling over q
wheel. barrow, or something, and the
wearers are treated with much tender.
ness. A young fellow called on q
matron recently, and took a seat on g
wooden camp chair that happened ia
be in the reception room. The good
lady looked at the suffering caller and
said: "Now take seat in this stuffed
chair. | know that hard chair viii

that young men have feelings. The

not think that there is wagon or a

boats. There is not a house in the
county that boat can not get within

in the county owns a horse-they

An Ohio boy daubed mans wagon
with paint. Then the man caught the
boy, stripped him, and covered his
body with stripes of the same color
that had been used in dis6guring the
vehicle. Next the boys father went
over to whip the man, and got whip
ped instead. At that point matters
rest for the present.

General Robert TOombs appeared
recently in a railroad suit at Atlanta,
Ca, where a correspondent writes Of
him: "Within the past few months
his eyesight has nearly failed him,
and his once full face has grown thin
and wrinkled. Amid this wreck of
the physical man can be seen traces OF
loss of mental power also. Yet, to
the eye of his friends and admirers, he
is great even in ruins. A glance al
his stately yet feeble form reveals what
he must have been at his best, and
there are still CLEANS of intellectual
fire from his now sluggish brain thai
reminds us Of his ripest mental eff
forts"

The Homan Who Mas Renowned Her tirtue
What an appalling picture it would
be If one could look down into the
heart Of the woman who has renounc.
ed her virtue and portray the anguish
of her living death.
Even though for a brief time while
she is squandering the price of the
immortal soul in things that minister
only to the comfort of her poor, per.
ishing body, do not believe it is
possible for her to forget tor moment
what she was, what she is. what she
might have been, and what she can
never be.
1t may take the semblance Of ha-
tired toward her unsullied sisters, but
it is in reality the fruitless, hopeless
despair of a ruined soul.
She is cut off from the opportunity
Of doing good, for her charity carries
with il a stain, and the humblest re.
cipient of her mercy shrinks from the
blotted hand that is stretched forth 10
relieve.
Every quality Of mind and heart
only deepens her responsibility, and
increases her influence for evil. Who
that looks into her gaunt, care-wOrn,
faded face-as horrible under its mash
Of paint as a deaths head, and does
not imagine what il was in the days
Of innocence and purityi What that
poor, weak, Departing heart must suf
fer in these dark hours when the soul
stands alone and self-accused before
its Creator
The tears Of no earthly sorrow are
like those she sheds in the solitude Of
her misery and shame; and there are
few such who, could they retrace the
downward path by which they de
scended into woe, would not come
back. though every step Of the way
should be marked by the prints Of
their bleeding feet. Could they begin
over again the life that has been worse
than wasted, hunger and toll and
want would be borne in cheerful pa
thence.
1t is not strange that thousands o.
such lost souls who can endure theil
torment no longer rush head-lonl
anywhere, anywhere out of tn,
world" feeling that no future punish
ment can be greater than that they
find already intolerable. The divine
Christ once said to such an offender
