PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

No man should part with his own
Individuality and become that OF am,
other.
He who f. not earnestly sincere hves
in but half his being, self-mnttlateds
self-paralyzed.
The best society and conversation u
that in which the heart has a greater
share than the head.
1t is often owing 70 a consciousness
Of designing temper in ourselves
that we are led TO suspect others.
BE courageous and noble-minded;
our own heart, and not other mems
opinions Of US, forms our true honor.
Opposition is what we want and
must have, 70 be good for anything.
Hardship is the native soil Of manhood
and sclfreliance.
A clear conscience is worth more
than gold or silver. Hence 1t Is neces-
sary to live 50 that our acts and daily
life viii indicate It.
Discretion Of speech is more than
eloquence, and 70 speak agreeably TO
him with whom we deal, is more than
70 speak in good words OF in good or
der.
If you devote your time 10 study
you will avoid all the irksomeness Of
life; nor viii you long for the approach
Of night, being tired Of the day; nor
will you be a burden 10 yourself, nor
your society unsupportable to others

The Care or n Watch.

Few persons who wear n watch
know how to take care Of it, II is a
most delicate piece Of machinery. and
yet more is expected of 1t, without
care and attention. than Of a steam en-
gne or any other piece of machinery.
We oil the engine or sewing machine,
or whatever 1t may he, keep it free
and clean from dirt and exposure, but
our watches are frequently let run as
long as they will keep ticking, and
then when they suddenly cease TO beat
we wonder why they have stopped.
Could an engine or sewing machine be
run five, six or even eight years with
out oil. or cleaning, or attention? Ger
tainly not. A watch should be clean
ed and oiled not less frequently than
once in two years, once year Is not
too often. If this Is done IL will last n
life time. and. If good article, may
be handed down to several generations.
Neglected, 1t will wear out and become
worthless in few years. Just think
of your watch making $4,000 beats an
hour, $4,000 day, and 15s,6s0,OO0 a
year. Is there any other piece Of ma
chinery doing the same amount of
work that really has so little care and
attention and costs so little to keep in
order?

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Making n Little 60 n Great Way


1t is not generally known, of course,
that many women, considered most
extravagant dressers, manage with
clever ilnesse to look extremely stylish
on small allowances. Nothing can be
of greater interest TO the average
woman than the secret of how to look
well at small expense. Some ladies'
own themselves that they buy inces-
sanity, yet are never stylishly dressed.
In the first place it is tedious to wear
one hat with all costumes Therefore
procure one becoming in shape, trim
med for eXigencies. Get a black hat
with a handsome feather as utility
hat, one which can be worn at various
points of the compass; then when buy
ing new silk buy a spray of flowers
TO suit and utterly change the aspect
of the hat. If possessing any skill,
get Il capote frame and cover with the
dress goods. Learn to make collarettes
and iichus; get reversible ribbons and
alter at pleasure. Always get dresses
whose waists will interchange; this is
the best of the black Jersey. Do not
go out on successive days dressed the
same way-some slight change viii
suggest variety of toilets. Comb the
hair differently when the hat is placed
back to form a poke, Always carry a
handkerchief to suit the dress, and rs
they are cheap this is within possibility
always. Above all, get nothing SO
striking that it will always be recog-
nized on the street. Do not vitiate a
black and white ensemble by an oddly
colored bow or handkerchief. Strive
for a general effect. Cut overdresses
full enough to allow of different drap-
ings. Get black parasol all black.
which will suit any costume. - 81.

, The Evil Eve.

The Russians are great believers in
the evil eye; and foreigners, on Rus
sian children being introduced 10
them. should beware Of praising their
beauty. or of showing for them any of
that admiration which, under like cir
cumstances would be expected in
western Europe. To praise the child
is to bewitch It, TO bring It ill-luck-to
infect 1t, in short, with ''the evil eyes. Z"
Charms and incantations must then
be resorted TO, and In serious cases the
priest is called in. BY humility and
prayer the influence Of the evil eve
may be averted; but It Is desirable
that the stranger. on seeing for the
first time the Children Of any family he
is visiting shall not allow himself to
exclaim; "what pretty girll" or
"whas fine boy r

In Mexico nearly every one is a
smoker. The school children who have
done well in their studies are reward
ed by being allowed to smoke a cigar
as they stand or sit at their lessons.

all persons commonly enjoy their TO-
