Home Looks.

Many people have set of home
looks which they regularly put on
when about home, the same as they
put on their common clothes. With
some it is care worn look; with others
complaining expression; with many
sickly appearance, as if they were
caving in; and with not few it is an
ugly, cross visage. When some neigh.
Dor happens to come in or when they
put on their good clothes and go out
you would not know them if you had
become acquainted with them when
wearing their home looks. Now, what
we have to say as hygienists on this
subject is that it is not healthy to
wear such expressions. They GER
tanly affect not only the health of the
wearers, but of the other members of
the family. They are especially de-
pressing to children. If worn by a
husband, to wife they are agonizing;
if worn by the wife they make the
husband feel as if he did not care to
hurry home. Our outside admirers,
our good neighbors and others are
entitled to no better facial expressions
than our home people. If we must in
some instances change our clothes for
economy's sake, let us not change
what does not cost anything-a cheer
full countenance. Carry that nome; at
home preserve it; go to bed with it;
get up with it; gather the family
around the table with it. 1t is good
tonic for self and everybody.-Dr.
Foote's Health Monthly.

Better Late Thun Never.

Eighteen years ago Miss Jennie An
drews and Mr.. Alexander McGregor,
of Macon, Ga, were engaged to be
married. But they had lovers tiff
and separated. She married Mr.. Charles
Ross and went to Texas, and he mar
ried, it matters not whom. In five
years Ross died and the widow re-
turned to Macon, and after some time
married Mr.. Lavarre. Seven years
later Lavarre was killed. In the mean
time McGregor had become widower.
Within the past few months he
CHANGED to meet in the streets of Ma
con the sweetheart of eighteen years
ago, and though they had not met for
years the recognition was mutual. The
old flame was rekindled, and one Sun
day morning recently minister was
called upon to perform the marriage
ceremony.

Public Letter. Writers.

One street sight that interests me
specially, says Rome (Italy) letter. is
the public letter-writer, who still plies
his trade as in the old, old days of
which 1 read so long ago. l had quite
forgotten there were such people, but
one morning as we were trying to find
short cut to the Pantheon, we came
suddenly into quiet little open square
round which were established seven
men, each with his table and writing
materials, waiting for customers. OF
course l insisted on waiting to see
whether people dad really engage in
this vicarious style of correspondence.
and l was quickly gratiied by the az
rival at one table of an aged woman.
and at another of a young girl, who
gave the scribe their sentiments and
their soldi, and sat watching his slow
moving fingers with evident satisfac-
ton.

Mystery OF Missing Men.

One of the best men I ever knew
here-a man of sixty-five years, who
loved his home and family dearly, and
who had no reason for eccentricity-
slipped away one afternoon, went to
Boston and then to Washington, and
Tor two years drove a car there, re-
naming away because he thought his
wife would manage his affairs better
without him. He never intended to
return but was seen by chance, arrested
as lunatic and given his choice to be
confined in an asylum or to do his
duty as man. He came back. and,
after two happy years at home. died
in his wife's arms. In another case
that 1 remember, gentleman was
supposed to have committed suicide by
jumping from a steamboat His wife
made no fuss, but kept the matter
quiet, because she alone never gave up
the idea that his suicide was sham,
and for three years she hunted him
down, and finally restored him to his
home and business. A third case of
which l had personal knowledge was
that of a dry goods merchant who was
absent twenty years, and who returned
wealthy, made himself known to his
wife, who had been married in the
meantime, sought out his son and
gave him $4,000, and then went his
way as he had come. He said he had
left home because he wanted to had
not married or cared for another home
and liked the life of wanderer much
better than any domestic ties. These
instances 60 to show that the case of
alleged mysterious disappearance may
sometimes be accounted for without
any necessity Of presupposing rob-
berry and murder.-Philadelphta Re

News and Notes for Women.

America, Miss Emily Faithful says,
is far ahead of the old world in ex-
tending the field of work and educa-
ton for women.
There are 10000 working women in
Boston over fifteen years of age; their
average earnings are four dollars per
week; and their board averages three
dollars and a half per week.
Embroidery may have said to have
broken out in fresh place, for cover
ing toilets are now completely covered
with mass of embroidery that, in
some instances, represents the labor of
a lifetime.
There are four ladies now living in
Cincinnati, each of whom have locks
of hair cut from the head of the Prince
of Wales, while he was visiting that
city in 1859. There was a great deal
of anxiety at that time to obtain relics
of this prince, and the enterprising
barber who shaved the royal head
netted some $40 over and above the
$40 he was paid by the prince.
Mrs. A. T. Stewards elegant man
sion in New York, which was erected
at a cost of $1,000,000, seems to be
more of burden than pleasure to its
mistress. Living alone in the midst
of an army of servants, she is said to
be in constant dread of being stolen by
ruffians and held for ransom, and the
threatening and begging letters which
she receives do not make her existence
more agreeable.
Philadelphia has a young woman's
home on Clinton street which has run
successfully for ten years, and now
has forty-ive inmates. Clerks, tele-
phone operators, copyists and the like
live there, pay 50 week for board,
washing, fire, lights and medical at
tendance, with use of parlors, library
and sewing machines. All this money
is spent on the table and few Incl
dentals, so that considerable gifts are
necessary to keep the institution run
ming.

Great quantities of natural or arti-

The feature in new polka-dotted
cotton dress goods is the large size and
close proximity of the dots.
The draperies are much punched
around the hips, and even below that
point by some dressmakers.
Extremely pretty embroidered silk,

Times. of you gain their confidence

plenty of friends among the tribes.
They like bravery, and will not hurt

powered. When the Indians get you

your breast, and tell them to shoot,

COats OF Arms and Seals.

New York has college of Her
aldry," which does good business in
supplying coats of arms to people de-
sirous Of creating the impression
that they are descended from aristo-
cratic ancestors. A New York CORE
spondent says of this growing prac-
tice: inquired of an outsider who
knows tha college of heraldry well,
and he told me of the modus operandi.
The clerks Cor professors) of this col
lege can tell any man all about the
past glories of his family. They can
discover peoples forefathers in no
time. The Norman line and the Saxon
kings, and the Welch nobility and the
Scottish lairds-everything is at their
finger ends. Their requirements are
wonderful-in tinctures, the dex-
ter and sinister chiefs, fess
and nombril, bends, chevrons
saltires, nebuly, raguly and
dancette and gules of every color. 1t
is noticeable that the people who talk
most about their family and high birth
and lofty breeding are those who have
inherited their money from industrious
fathers, and are ashamed to have it
known that their ancestors worked. A
coat of arms is supposed to say to the
world, 1--WE have never earned dol
lar in our life, and our father never
earned dollar; the money on which
we live was bequeathed to us by an an
cestor, who was one of the most illus
trious robbers in Europe"
The correspondent also dropped in
to see a well-known engraver on stone
to inquire about seals. "Oh, yes, +"
said the proprietor, 81 engrave thou
sands of escutcheons on rings every
year, mostly for gentlemen. What
they wear them for 1 don't know, they
never stamp letters with them of
course. 1t is what Darwin or Spencer
would call "a survival 1 suppose, sur
vival of habit that was once reason
able and useful. When people want
to know what their coat of arms is, OF
want it engraved on stone, they gen
orally apply to a jeweler and the jewelel
sends to u.s."
Seal rings are mostly of sardonyx'
amethyst and topaz, and the engraving
is done with lathe, pedal turning q
little shaft of soft iron, whose sharp
ened end has been blunted to a small
disk. The stone is held to the edge Of
this whirling disk, which has been wet
with olive oil containing diamond dust

as brooches, the place of the hideous
insects SO long in favor.
A new brooch represents three owls
on perch, and another is basket of
flowers ; the basket being gold and the
flowers turquoise forget-me-nots.
Crimped frills of tinted Grape set
against standing, lightly-gathered
ruffles of oriental lace, ARE worn inside
the neck and sleeves of evening
dresses.
New French hats are trimmed with
narrow braid embroidery. OF course,
in this case the hat must match the
dress in material and color, the crown
is plated and the smooth brim has a
narrow border.
Chain bracelets of India designs,
made of yellow gold, are in great
favor, and bangle bracelets of gold
wire as fine as thread, several
being worn at one time, are likewise
highly popular.
Cushions for deep cane chairs are
made of tufted plush or satin, and as
an accompaniment strip of the same
material and color is embroidered as
scarf for the back and finished off with
deep fringe, which is generally of rich
quality.
Braiding is to become popular again.
Rounded soutache will be used, as the
designs can be executed in raised work
by its use. 1t is easy to give Eastern
effects by carrying out free design
upon muslin, scrim or thin materials
of any kind.

folks, in New York, smd1

Tortoiseshell ornaments for the hair
are now very fashionable, especially
the clear amber sort in different shapes.
The most becoming and the favorites
are the hairpins with small balls at the
top, two or three being used to orna-
ment the hair on one side.
Articles of dress as well as NANTES,
hats and muffs made of material to
match the costume are now trimmed
with handsome bows. Large and
small fur collars are fastened with
long ribbons, and muffs are often to be
seen with bows to match, in the middle
or on both sides.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.


Old-fashioned patchwork in which
our grandmothers delighted is the sub
ject of a new departure. This novel
patchwork is made by cutting founda-
ton squares of muslin, all the same
size, and arranging upon them odds
and ends of silk Or ribbon, plush or
velvet, in any way the maker pleases,
basting them in position, and then
joining them together with feather
stitch in gold-colored filoselle. The
squares when completed are joined to-
gether in the same way, and the result
which has quite an Eastern effect.

SONG OF TIME.
How worn theme is that of timei
Then why do begin to rhyme
Upon it now?

How worn a theme is that of timei
Then why do begin to rhyme
Upon it now?
Because tonight the air is filled
With voices that will not be stilled-
They will not cease.
And always sing the same refrain
OF Time that meier will come again,
OF Time that flies.
OF all that Time sweeps in its flight
The voices sing to me tonight,
Time cures all care.
That is what would fain believe,
My heart Herewith do deceive,
With faith in Time.
Oh, voices singing, be you mute,
You touch a chord on my hearts lutte
But seldom played;
Yet filling all the air around
With sweet melancholy sound.
A song of Time
OF Time that was, of days so fair
When all was young, and love was there
Long days ago!
Be still be still that sad refrain!
dare not listen once again
To that same song!
Maybe hold those days too high,
And yield them far too oft a sigh,
Those days long since!
Yet as they we're the fairest yet
OF all my days, then why forget
That happy time
Though if it still should be my faith
To live yet happier days, the date
OF that sweet time.
I'll bury, then, within the grave
Which holds all things forgotten, save
The present time.
Nor heed voice which whispers low,
1.-THE sweetest song is that you know
OF long ago."
So with the voices in the air
l mingled mine, and, 10, was there
A song of Time.

of the Adirondacks, Celandine Bel
lairs solved the riddle of her life and
