PALETTEs AND BANNERS. Ladies
who can paint well, or those whose
skilful needle can almost equal the
painters brush, can decorate their
walls, but one who has had no prac-
tice in either art can cover large
wooden palette neatly with red plush
Or satin, and tack peacock feather
across it. Fastened to the wall with
a bow of light blue satin ribbon tied
in the thumb hole, this is a. very
tasteful establishment.
A banner can be made with a CEN
ter piece of gray linen, or of brown
Ida canvas with a band above and
below it of red or peacock blue plush.
Diagonally across the canvas put a
strip of ribbon richly brocaded in a
floral pattern. Line the banner with
stiff muslin, and suspend it by a silk
cord of the color oe the plush.
Fringe of the same color, or of mix
ed variety to correspond with the
diagonal ribbon bar may be added.

Jimmy was about to race away,
when the sight of Tom and Jerry
eating up the paper made him clap
his hands, exclaiming, joyfully:
They've taken the pledge really
and truly. I'm so gladr'
It was impossible to help laughing ;
but the man was very sober again as
he said, slowly, with his hand on
Jimmy's shoulder:
"You shall write another for me.
I'll sign it, and keep it, too, if you
will help me, my good little son."
II will, father, ] will !" cried jim
my with all his happy heart, and then
ran in to carry the good news to
mother.
That was his first lecture, but not
his. last; for he delivered many mole
when he was man, because the work
begun that day prospered well, and
those pledges were truly kept.-Loa.

FASHION NOTES.

As people generally supply them
selves with thin dresses early in the
season, the principal wants to be sat
isfied now, are suitable costumes for
late summer and early autumn journ-
eys, and dresses for boating, fishing,
climbing and other pursuits which
summer boarders have introduced
into even the quietest of country
places.
The old-fashioned de beige, has
reappeared this year under several
new names, but its well-known yir-
tues are recognizable, under its alias
es, and those who know its worth are
glad to secure it for travelling dresses.
These are simply made with box
plated ruffie on the underskirt, and
ample overskirt Topped high upon the
hips with drapery drawn toward the
back and kept in place by strings
beneath. The basque is often in
! plated blouse form with collar of the
same, as for a young lady-a yoke and
sleeves of striped de beige. An
equally stylish dress of the same ma
terial is made with a polonaise bunch
ed up in the old Marguerite fashion,
with large silk or ribbon rosettes
over the loopings. A dress made in
this way of leather colored de beige,
has a kilt-plaited skirt with the re-
verse of each plat faced with Napol-
con blue silk. Other mixtures of
shades might be as pretty and the
fashion affords an excellent opportu-
nifty for making good use of half
worn, dyed or other silks which are
too disreputable in appearance for
more prominent uses.
White flannel, not opera, but the
ordinary kind, without nap, is much
used for tennis and yachting cos
tunes. Heavy Titan, or Hercules
braid is the favorite decoration. A
very creamy tint is always chosen,
and it is claimed for these dresses.

peal 10 tie PMblIC.

The Cantata "St. Cecilia's Day." by Van
Bree, which the Philharmonic Society will
render at the Opera House February LIST, has
never been given in our city. The music is
OF high order Of merit, though not so
heavy and majestic as an Oratorio. Every
entertainment given by the society, or under
their auspices, has proved all that was
claimed for it and the society has thus OBJ
tanned the credit of doing just what it has
promised. Its past record in this respect is
IA sufficient pledge for the future The COM
lug entertainment will afford rich musical
treat. Mrs. H. +. Knowles of Boston, who
is justly popular not only as an artist Of rare
merit, but Tor her genuine womanly worth,
and pleasing and unaffected manner, will do
the solo part of the concert. Besides "St.
CecilIa's Day." Mrs II. f. Knowles will
sing song and take the solo in "lnilama-
| tus,"
The managers show commcndable zeal in
giving the Home II portion of the net pro-
ceeds OF the concert, for the purpose OF cs-
tabshing the nucleus of musical fund 1t
is well known, or ought TO be, that no mem

public therefore are asked to sustain it,

quest, even viewed in dollars and cents, mere

Grafton - Prosperous Condition of
the Society.

On the first of January the st. Joseph soc-
ETY. of this city moved into new hall in
llerrick's block, on Church street. The So
ciety has long felt the need of more commo-
dious and better furnished room for their
meetings, and the one which they have now
secured is in every respect fitted to supply
this need. 1t is a handsome room, 3Gx22
feet in dimensions, and capable of seating
about one hundred persons. The walls are
very neatly papcrcd in a neutral gray tint,
an. the ceiling is frescoed in a tasteful man
ner. The committee-roOm, in the front part
of the hall, is separated from the main part
oi the room by n handsome railing of ash,
with black walnut trimmings. Above
the committce-room is platform, handsome
ly carpeted in brussels, where stands the
presidents chair and desk, also of ash. The
committeeman is carpetcd with ingram of
n tasteful pattern, and the floor of the main
hall is covered with ol,.c,oth. Two large
desks Of ash, one Tor the secretary and one
for the treasurer and collector, stand in the
committee room. The two windows at the
west end of the hall are curtaned with ere.
tonne, hung on ebony rods. The room is
lighted by gas, two large and handsome
chandeliers being affixed to the ceiling. st
Joseph's Society is one of the oldest, il not
the oldest, OF the French Canadian mutual
societies in New Eng land, having been cs-
tablishcd more than twenty-three years ago.
The society in this city is in very prosper
Gus condition. Its membership numbers one
hundred and five, and there is now in the
treasury of the society some $4,000. We
understand that at the last meeting Of this
organization in their new hall the City Band
paid them the compliment of a pleasant con-
cert. The officers of the society for the en-
suing year have lately been elected and are
as follows: President, A. ii. Duhamel ;

There is large room in the new univcr-
sity building, 60 feet long by 30 wide, where
military exercises are conducted during The
Winter. Two life ranges have been fitted
mp in the room, and gallery practice was
commenced last Saturday morning bya match
between the Senior and Junior classes. The
Seniors scored 144 points out OF possible
17j, little over 80 per cent. and the Juniors
1919 points out Of a possible l75, little over
10 per cent. Grswold, Turk, Lane G. b..
and Eckley each scored 90 points out
OF possible 20, or 80 per cent,
The ranges arc so feet, the charges
OF powder seven grains and the targets
proportionately reduced in size, so that the
practice is made to correspond to firing at the
full distances Of 80, 100 or 200 yards, with
service ammunition. Boiler iron is used for
targets and the bullets are simply flattcned
| by the impact aud fall 20 the floor, where
they can be conveniently gathered for re-
melting.
This system OF practice with reduced
charges is considered the very best for &c
curing skill in off-hand shooting, and IS at
tended with but trifling expense. With sew
en- grains of powder the report of the rifle II
not SO loud as the report of percussion cap
The powder is nearly all consumed and con
densed in the barrel, aud consequently ther,
is little smoke and the practice can be carriot
on anywhere, even in u close room.

MIR. Brookins reported that the association
had in the treasury $40, with no debts. No
new member had been admitted during the
year, but several signed the constitution and
paid the % cents entrance fee to-day. The
number present grew larger during the morn

all about twenty-five of the members of the

excused from further service as president, but
the request was not granted. There being
some time TO spare before dinner, President

| various ways of winering bees. gener-
al discussion of the matter took
place. One gentleman stated that
he had tried wintering thirty swarms out OF
doors packed in India wheat huls, and
didn't lose any of the bees. Mr.. Russell of
East Middebury and other gentlemen said
that they had kept bees packed in sawdust
out doors, and thought that more of them
lived through the winter, but that they gen.
orally come out weaker in the spring than
those kept indoors during the winter. Mr..
Crane said that he had successfully tried
cname!ed cloth as II winter covering fol
three swans of bees, and That Mr.. Leonard
OF Brandon had written to him TINT he hat
found that he got considerably more honey
from the bees which he kept out door
packed through the winter than fIon
