Careless Use Of POisons.

Attempting to exterminate rats, mice,
and other vermin that may be about the
premises is very hazardous. Most pois-
onous substances produce intense thirst
and the animals that have taken them
into their stomachs immediately seek
water. They not unfrequently get into
wells and cisterns, and never escape.
They often die in the pig-pens and are
eaten. The substances prepared for
yermin are likely to be devoured by dogs
and fowls. Sometimes portions of them
are carried by rats and deposited in
troughs and managers, and are eaten by
valuable animals. AS insects are multi
plying very fast, it is likely that farmers,
gardeners, and fruit.raisers must contin-
ne to employ poisons for destroying
them. Tt should, however, be stored
and used with great care. 1t should, if
possible, be kept in vessels of tin or
other metal when not wanted for use.
When no longer wanted, the cover
should be adjusted and cloth or paper
pasted over the joint. Every farmer
who uses poisonous substances should
should have box secured by lock, in
which he can put not only the poison
but the buster, sprinkler and other
ensils that he employs in applying
them. G. eat care should be exercised
in using poisons not to let any portion
of them come in contact with any part
of the person from which the skin has
been removed. The hands and face
should be washed with scrupulous care
after using poisons and the dirt removed
from under the nails. In fact, the en-
tire body should be thoroughly washed.
If potato vines, to which poison has
been applied, are pulled while they are
green 1t would be advisable to dispose
of them in snch way that there would
be no danger of them being eaten by
amin als-Chicago Times.

The American WAY,

An American student at Gottingin, the
SON of prominent New York clerpy-
man, unintentionally gave offense to
three German students by brushi ne
against them in hurriedly passing along
the street. They went on few steps,
then came back and insisted on having
satisfaction for the insult; he must fight
a duel with one of their number. he
declined, saying, 81 am an American, /
do not fight" But they repeated. I'VE
most have satisfaction" He replied
well, if you must you can have it."
and, throwing off his coat, went at them
with his fists. He knocked all three Of
them down and one rolled in the gutter.
Then, putting ON his coat, he walked
away. Somewhat bewildered over the
situation, the three German students
picked themselves up and went their
war. The American was not afterward
challenged to fight duel nor otherwise

appalling danger and great hardship.
He has made 1873 ascensions, and he
saws presence of mind goes further TO
save aeronauts than anything else. Mr..
Elliott looks to be under sixty, but he Is
really seventy EIGHT. He told the re-
porter of the Baltimore American that
his fourth ascension, made in New Or
leans in 1884, was the most desperate
and trying of his career as an aeronaut.
A large number ofpeople had assembled
to witness the ascension; and, having
paid. for the pleasure, had grown
very impatient at 5 me unnecessary
delay. A stiff breeze had sprung up in
the afternoon, and before tile balloon
was ready the breeze had increased to a
violent gale. Partly on account of
the impotence of the spectators, and
partly to keep friend who had intend
ed to 60 with him from useless risking
his life he decided to make the ascen-
sion alone, and did not wait until the
balloon was fully inflated with gas. In
the midst of gale blowing forty miles
an hour he got into the basket and gave
the signal to let go. The people looked
to see him dashed to pieces. Because it
was partially filed with gas, the
balloon did not rise rapidly, and was
not more than 100 feet above the ground
when it caught the full force of the gale.
1t was carried with railroad speed over
the tops of the houses, but before it had
gone far the basket dashed against
chimney with such force as to knock the
chimney down. Nearly fifty years have
passed, but Mr.. Elliot still bears the
marks of the concussion. His left leg
was broken above the knee, the shock
splittin the thigh bone and forcing the
broken part to the surface. The scar is
still deep and distinct, forming almost a
a semi circle above the knee. At
same time his right wrist was dislocated,
and internal injuries received. In this
way, bleeding and completely helpless
he struck against several houses and
church spire. Getting clear of the
houses, the balloon was driven by a gale
toward tho river, where its journey
ended. 1t struck one of yards of
Dutch galiot, where it is caught and was
firmly held. Mr. Elliott was lifted out
of the car by ropes, and lowered to the
deck. He was attended by several ply
scans, all of whom, excepting one, de-
clared all ampntation absolutely
necessary. The dissenting physician,
Doctor Luzenberg, backed by the pa
tent, opposed to the operation, and at
last prevailed-a fortunate result for
Mr.. Elliott. A long and dangerous ill.,
ness followed the accident.-New Or

Decorative Notes,


Pretty mats for ornaments on a mar
Bile mantle are made ofscrim or of linen
monte cleth. They should be long aad
narrow, and be trimmed with lace across
the bottom, and have some pretty de-
sign in Kensington embroidery on them.
The more effective and striking the de-
sign, the better form it is in. Stand
vase or jar on the unOrnamented end,
let the other hang over the mantel.
A beautiful tidy for the back of large
chair Is made of q square piece Of cloth
about ten inches each way; on this is
sewed patchwork of plush and velvet in
the form of widespread fan. The
corners of the block are of black velvet,
and on the top, dropping over the fan,
is spray from moss-rOse bush, in rib
bon embroidery. The edge is4inished
with lace. This design is pretty for q
block in quilt or sofa pillow.
A table scarf that is tasteful and quite
inexpensive is made of dark green felt;
it should be about half yard wide;
pinked on the edge and on each
end put a strip of silk patchwork, IA
military called ''crazy patchwork" Have
this strip about one-quarter ola yard
deep. Make fringe of the felt, cut in
very narrow strips, and six inches deep.
Each edge of the silk patchwork should
be teather-stitched.
A lovely cushion is made by embroi-
dering spray of old fashioned pinks on a
ground of pale plue. Around the edge
of the cushion put full puff of pale silk
satin. Where the puff is joined to the
blue satin sew good-siZed pink cord.
The cushion when completed should
be about half yard long, but not quite
so wide.
A pretty way to fix palm-leaf fan is
to paint it. Mix some ultra-marine or
Prussian blue with little silver-white
paint, and make itquite thin with boiled
linseed Oil. Paint the fan on both sides,
handle and all, with it. If you choose
to decorate it, paint apoppy or some
buds and stems on it; tie a b'ue ribbon
around the handle and hang it in a
convenient place. If you prefer to
IN Ike it pink, use crimson or madden
lake and white in the same way.
A handsome little lambrequin for
bracket is of black satin cut in points.
Trim the edge around the points with
short and fine silk or chenille fringe.
Across the top paint vine with green
leaves and red berries, and on each
point put rosebud or tiny spray of for |
get.me-nots or of heliotrope.

AN ARTIST AND HIS MODEL
A Romantic Story Of True Love in a
Paris Studio.


Letter in Boston Herald.
Artists are supposed to be naturally
romantic. Perhaps they are, but it has
yet to be demonstrated that they, as a
class, fall in love more readily than
other men. And yet one is continually
hearing of affairs d. amour among the
knights of the brush at Paris. They
rarely become enamored of their models
that is, rarely seriously enamored.
Models are not. as rule, ola lovable or
loving kind. But there was case OF
true love between an artist-we will call
him Palette rather than use his own
name-and damsel who sat for him in
figure pieces" He was an American
young, whole-souled and successfully
rising. She was an Alsacienne, young,
handsome, and poorer than the pro-
had lost their little property in
the Franco Prussian war when the
hungry German gebbled up the
fair provinces of Alsace and Lorraine.
Rather than swear fealty to the Kaiser
eventually turning up in Paris, where
=
living in various honest Ways Margrler-
lite, the daughter, had been endowed by
nature with splendid face and form and
she was as good as she was beautiful.
BY and by her father was disabled, and
the mother had to devote to him her
constant care, so that on Marguerite's
shoulders fell the burden of supporting
the little family. All went we'll for
while, and then bad times came. There
was no work to be had. A friend of the
family, one Monsieur ~, frequenter Of
the studios, suggested sitting for the ar.
lists. No! 1t could not be thought of.
At last necessity compelled some action.
There we're stern landlords and impla-
cable tradesmen to face. Palette was
looking for model. He was painting
classical picture. He wanted an Athen-
ian girl. but he could not find any one
who satisfied him in the Greek costume.
He pressed N, whom he knew well and
~, pressed Marguerite, who, in the end,
consented. Palette was enchanted. The
very thing; and he painted away for dear
life Somehow the. picture..was an uncon-
scionably long time in the finishing
there was always something to be done
to the figure of the Greek girl. And Pc
lette was capital talker, and he drew
from Marguerite her history. First she
had his sympathy; then his friendship. |
She sat for him often in other pictures.
He assisted her family in various ways,
and he discovered that she was very
uncommon girl. To make a long story
short, he loved her; devotedly, too, and
she loved him. And they were married,
of course? No! There is no happy end
ing to this tale; there was no ring of
merry bells. Marguerite fell i'll and
died. And Palette? Well, he will never |
marry Tie keeps her memory sacred. |
he paints with sadder and more eff |
fective touch now, and people say there
is wonderful deal of heart and poetry |
in his work. He supports the mother |
and makes her old age free from care. |
The father died not long after his daugh- |
ter 1t is a sad story; it is story of ro-
nance, but such things show the better |
nature of our race.

Justice Field on the Future of
America,

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader gives the views of Su
preme Judge Field concerning the flu
ture of America, as follows: The Judge
is reported to have said: 1.-The future
of America is illimitabIe. Many men
now living will see the day when we
will have a populati On of 100000, and
when our territory will be bounded by
the Isthmus of Panama on the south.
Mexico will be annexed to the United
States before many years, AMI our rail
roads are already reaching out to bring
it into the Union. We have been get
ting only $50, 1000 Of her commerce and
we should have the whole 500, 000, 900
which it amounts to. American railroads
will soon cover the country as a net.
American telegraphs operators, station
agents and other employers will follow.
They will buy land along the track, and
marry Mexican girls. immigration will
judges and officers in Mexico. After
this annexation will follow without
trouble. Then will come Central Ameri-
ca in the same way, .and thus the great
American race will cross the Isthmus,
and the southern continent will fall into
its hands. look for the day when both
North and South America will be inhab-
tied by English speaking people. It is
the greatest colonizer of the races of to-
day, and it may own the world in the
future. Look at it'll There is Australia,
as large as our continent, owned by the
English. There is Tasmania, an island
as large as the United States, inhabited
by English speaking people. New Yea.
land is another vast body under their
power. Canada and southern Africa are
English, and India is fast succumbing to
them. No race wipes out other races as
does the English or the Caucasian. II
either swallows up all it comes in con-
tact with or it exterminates them. The
Indian it is exterminating to. day. Il
tolerates the negro. America is a mag
nificent field for such race, and the
Americans are the most prosperous peo-
ole in the world to-day. We are the
richest people in comforts. America
wastes enough every year to keep
France most royalty. It will be the |
great nation of the future. All it needs |
to become so and continue so is a sys-
tenn of good laws properly administered |
and of sound medium of currency. These
once had, other things will follow"

haps, $4,000. Besides having exhausted
much of her earnings in the sup
port of her parents, Mrs. Hudson
Ia and always has been fond of
the good things of life, which reconcile
good liyers to the manifold ills and draw
backs common to this vale of tears. She
likes pretty bric-a.brac in her rooms,
has weakness for dining off fragile,
expensive china, has her own carriage,
clothes herself in silk attire and takes a
real feminine delight in the dainty
French bonnets, or CONNECTIONS" as the
milliners call them, with which she
crowns her fresh, matronly face. Her
eyes or of that clear, porcelain blue rare
ly seen except in young children, and
she likes to wear robes and bonnets of
the same cerulean hue. If she has a
bank account it is not because she lacks
generosity, for she ia a cheerful giyer as
well as good liver. An old friend of
Clemmer Hudson, commenting upon
the remarkable frmness and self-reli-
ance of that lady's character, says she
only developed these traits after scores
of years of buffeting with the world and
some sore struggles. "Why, when she
first began to write letters for the press,
she would correct, re-write and cry over
them, just like nervous school girl over
her first compositions. | have known
