The Terrible Child.

The Cleveland Press says; An amusing
incident occurred at the Saturday matinee at
the academy, which for a moment bid fair to
break up further presentation of the play.
In the third act the leading man gets into a
passion with his wife. They quarrel most
naturally and the man seizes whip and
strikes his wife. impersonated by Maria Pres
colt. The latter sinks upon the floor with a
groan while her husband glares at her like a
tiger When the play had gone thus far on
Saturday and just after the husband had
struck his wife, child in the audience, i'm
bued with the irrepressible desire to give
away family secrets, like all children piped
out in loud voice That's just the way my
pa hits my MAJ" The effect on the audience
was instantaneous, and, although worked up
to the highest pitch of angry excitement by
what was transpiring on the stage, loud,
strong and hearty laugh followed the innocent
remark of the little one. The actor and
actress on the stage laughed louder than any
BODY else in the house, and it was long time
before they could assume sober faces enough
to go on with their lines. The mother of the
little one hustled the youngster rapidly out,
and it will probably be day of frigid atmos-
phere when she again takes that child to see
a play.

Useful and Fancy Work for Leisure
Moments.

A baby rolled about the streets in its lit
tie carriage, presents more imposing
appearance than one carried in the nurse 8
arms, but proud young mothers must re-
member that the carriage babies need
more protection than those who are kept
warm by the contact with another breath
ing human body. and so. during chilly
winter and breezy spring provide warm
wraps for their dariings.
A BABY CARRIAGE AFGHAN
A long mapped woolen material resem-
bling the best quality of bed blankets IS
now procurable in three colors.light blue,
q pale shade of pink and red. One yard
of the material is sufficient and it should
be bordered by a row Of wool chenille the
same color as the cloth, which, to corre-
spond with most peoples idea of baby be-
longings, should be blue. Single daisies
worked in white silk with stem and one or
two leaves in yellow greens. should be
scattered irregularly over the white sur
face. On such fuzzy material chain stitch
is preferable TO Kensington. The petals
should be covered with successive length
wise rows after the outline is worked.
A more delicat looking but less useful
Afghan is made OF the same fabric in white.
with embroidery of apple blossoms in
shaded pink, and an edge of white silk
knitted lace.
A warm Afghan not easily soiled or de-
faced, can be made of brown seal-skin
plush. with lining of Quilted silk and a
border of chinchilla fur. 1t is perhaps
late in the season to provide such robe,
but it IS worth remembering as a great
improvement on some of the fancitul. and
half useless things that have little but
beauty to recommend them.

Saving Hickory.
How Mr.. STEvEALL SPENT THE NIGH
WITH A RED-WHIsKERED MAN.

The hotels of interior Arkansas are not
what advanced enlightenment demands, in
that several guests have to sleep in the
same room. The other day Mr.. John
Steveall, q well-known gentleman, stopped
at the Bardell house. When informed that
he must occupy room with a red-whis-
kered fellow with whisky-streaked eyes
he demurred. but, seeing no chance of
bettering his condition, he finally consent
ed. Mr.. Steveall has the annoying mis-
fortune of snoring. Other men have been
known to snore pretty well. but no person
who has ever heard Mr.. Steveall will at
tempt to turn over his memory IN search
of any one who can score a higher or
deeper triumph. Mr.. Steveall and the
red-whiskered man with the whiskey-
streaked ewes went to bed about the same
time, fortunately. or unfortunately as the
case may be, occupying different couches
We say couches in mockery.
Mr.. Steveall soon dropped off to sleep

Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll and
sorrow. Obedience to fashion is great
er transgression of the laws of women's
nature, greater injury to her physical
and mental constitution than poverty and
neglect The slave women at her tasks
will live and grow old and see two or
three generations of her mistresses fade
and pass away. The washer-woman,
with scarce a ray OF hope to cheer her in
her toll. will live to see her fashionable
sisters die all around her. The kitchen
maid is hearty and strong when her lady
has to be nursed like sick baby. 1t is a
sad truth that ion-pampered women
are almost worthless for all the ends of
human life they have but little force of
character: they have still less power of
mental will and quite as little energy.
They i've for no great purpose in life ;
they accomplish no worthy ends
They are only doll forms in the hands
of milliners and servants, to be
dressed and fed to order. They write no
books; they set no rich examples of vir-
lures and womanly life. If they rear
children. servants and nurses do all save
giving them birth, and when reared what
are they? What do they ever amount to
but weak scions of the old stock? Who
ever heard of fashionable woman's child
exhibiting any virtue or power of mind for
which it became eminent? Read the bio
graphies of our great and good men and
women. Not one of them had fashiona-
BILE mother. They nearly all sprang from
a strong minded woman. who had about
as little to do with fashion as with the
changing clouds. The trite saying, "a
man may say too much, even on the best
of subjects" will answer here. "If had
not lifted up the stone you had not found
the Jewel. ."-Enrmer's DanQhter.

The voice of an intelligent people declares,
that Sozodont is an article of genuine merit,
and their patronage confirms what their
voice proclaims. There is no gainsaying
this pronunciamentio. Facts attested by the
evidence of numberless respectable citizens
prove that it is correct. No article for the
teeth has such wide popularity, and as
suredly none exerts such a benefcant influ-
ence upon them, rendering, as it does, their
