Laughing and Crying for Pretty
Women.

The approach of age shows itself first
about the eyes. Lines come, family at first,
then deeper and deeper, until the incipient
crows feet are indicated, developed, re-
vealed. The woman who, looking in her
glass, perceives these fatal lines diverging
from the outer corners of her eyes, knows
that she has reached an era in her life. She
recognizes it with sigh if she be vain, a
lovely or worldly woman; with smile per-
haps, il she has children in whom she can
live her own youth over again. But it can
never be gay smile. None of us, men or
women, like to feel youth--that precious
possession-slipping away from us. But We
should never be on the lookout for crows
feet or gray hairs. Looking for them is sure
to bring them, for thinking about them
brings them. Tears form part of the lam
guage of the eye, which is eloquent enough
when sparingly used, and which should
be sparingly used for other reasons than
that of adding to their mute eloauence.
Tears are disfguring expression of emo
ton, and those who get into the habit of
weeping over everv small vexation do much
toward acquiring careworn, miserable ex-
preston, and are sure to look old before
their time. Excessive weeping has been
known not only to injure, but actually to
destroy the sight. Few women look pretty,
or even interesting, in tears, though it has
long been pleasan fiction ia poetry and ro-
nance to suppose that they do. Many wom-
en-, some men and most children make most
disiguring and distorting grimaces while
CRYING; and the lady who thinks she can
work upon mans feelings by liberal dis
play of tears should carefully study be-
coming mode of producing them before her
looking glass. Grimaces soften no hearts,
and tears accompanied by the usual distor-
ton have hardening effect, if not visible
one. In prettly-written book, now prob
ably out Of print, purporting to be the story
of the life of one of Millions wives, the au-
thor makes that poet say of his wife's eyes
after crying that they resembled "the SUMS
clear shining after rama very pretty nat
ural object indeed, but during the rain it
self the observer is not inclined TO be so
complimentary.
Grimaces of a somewhat similar order are
frequently made during the action of laugh
ter Care should always be taken with chill
dren to prevent their falling into this habit
It frequently reaches such pitch as to rem
der the laughter positively unsightly. The
facets distorted and out of drawing, the eyes
disappear, and the lips are drawn up reveal
ing half an inch of pale pink gum. This
notwithstanding runs in families, partly
from unconscious imitation. know one

Dining With Van Buren, and Tyler

tSouyenirs dun Diplomatic de Bacourt.l
The dinner began at o'clock and the
guests left the table at 10. What a bore
As the dinner was on my account had the
place of honor, Notwithstanding the pres
ence of the entire diplomatic body, this be-
ing piece of politeness shown to new ar
rivals, When dinner was announced the
President took my arm and led me to the
dining room-a fine room, we'll decorated
ana made me sit on his right hand. The
table, at which 40 guests were seated, would
have held 12n. The waiting was good for
America, and the dinner was excellent.
The French cook told my valet the follow
ing curious fact: For several months, since
the Presidential election has been the ques-
ton of the day, many persons who arrived
daily to breakfast or dinner without notice
threatened TO vote against him if they were
not entertained. The cook stated that he
had all possible trouble in satisfyins the.n,
and that they often returned what he sent
up, doing SO on the pretext that it was un-
eatable, and ordering something else; the
result being that my valet remarked in all
seriousness, 81 should think it no easy mat
ter to be President / went yesterday to
dine with the President, Mr.. Tyler.
Forty men were present, but no women;
the latter did not appear till after dinner
was seated between Mr. Spencer and Mr.
Webster. The latter threw off the pseudo
dignity in which he constantly clothes his
sad mediocrity; the madeira, of which he
drank too much, not only rendered him
| agreeable, in the American fashion that is
| to say, but caused him to become maudlin:
| he clasped my arm with both hands and
| said: sMy dear Bacourt, am exceedingly
| pleased to see you tonight; feel this much
more than have previously done, though
cannot tell why. Perhaps have not hith-
| erto been friendly enough toward you, but,
| If you will allow me, we shall now become
| pair of friends; you shall see that / am
! good fellow. Come and see me daily with
out ceremony; that will please me greatly,
my dear Bacourt, because l really find you
charming" This fiattering avowal was
made in hating phrase, and, 1 must tell
| you, with hiccups which rendered the neigh
borhood of the Secretary of State anything
but pleasant. All this occurred at the table
of the head of the State at a dinner given to
the representatives of all the European
powers! y Webster was pompous

to be of the opinion that all the leadinu men
in this country would be second or third

er type; he is gentleman farmer.

The. Diet of Children.

Permitting children to sit at table with
their elders is the cause of good deal OF
mischief and injury to their youthful diges-
TONS A variety of dishes should never be
permitted. and any attempt at wastefulness
should be checked at once. Economy and
self-denial can be taught at the children's
table far more easily than at school.
The diet of children can hardly be too
plain. If they require to be encouraged to
eat by the administration Of dainties, there
must be something radically wrong some.

association for the purpose of Boycotting

up Strengthening pigeons and use the newly
invented terra Gotta pigeon which is said to
answer every purpose of the sport, except
the infliction of pain upon pigeons. The

THE prospects of tariff revision at this
session are becoming rather slim. The
Republicans are doing all in their power to
accomplish it, but the Democrats are threat
ening to resort to filibustering to defeat both
the House and Senate bills, and if they do it
will be very difficult to defeat their purpose.
If Congress fails to cut down taxation at

The ApportionYn emit Rill

The Congressional Apportionment Bill
which has already passed the Maine House
OF Representatives is a fair and just one and
fully commends itself to the good Judgment
of the people of the State. A specially good
point is that it maintains as nearly as posi-
bic the political associations of former dis
tricting. 1t does not divide any county. 1t
follows very largely the choice of men of
both parties in the sections about whose
place there was any difference of opinion
1t meets the requirements of the law in
reference to arrangement by contiguous ter
ritory and by population as nearly as prac-
ticable. In the instance which is criticised
particularly, that of Piseataqais county, the
wishes, habits and convenience of the people
OF the county were consulted by attaching it
to the district which contains Penobscot
county, as the associations between these two
counties both business and political have al
ways been of the most intimate nature. It
divides the State into four close districts po-
Htically, aresult which precludes any sugges-
ton OF gerrymanderiDg. In orr own section
for instance if there had been any disposition
on the part of the Republican majority to be
unfair, it would have taken some Republi-
can territory from the strong second district
and put it upon the first But it was the
united voice of both parties that York and
Cumberland naturally belong together and
that 1t would be fairer and better to leave
the associations of the past unit ouched.
From the great public interest taken in
this subject all plans which came before
the Legislature have been discussed quite
generally, and indeed about all possible
plans have been canvassed. 1t is safe to saw
that no plan suggested has met with so gen
eral approval by the people at large as the
one adopted by the House of Representa-
tives. The objections made in debate
TO that plan were made in such CAP
tious and carping spirit as to suggest that
they were the result rather of personal ran
cor than of desire for a fair apportion
ment. These objections were fully met and
answered by the clear, candid and able
speeches of Speaker Haynes, Judge Hall of
Rockland, Mr.. Hale of this city. and Mr..
Heath Of Augusta. 1t is a simple impossi-
bility to make any division of the State
which shall be absolutely free from criti-
cism. That which the House has passed
seems to present as few grounds for COM
plant as possible.
