MARS Is evening star, and the fourth In

He Is rapidly dwindling into insigniflcance
as he travels from the earth and draws

were first introduced to terrestrial notice.
In 1892 he will be seer again In rudy hue
and martial aspect; for the stars hold on
In their courses, and the planets return
from their wanderings to the same starting.

You never can tell what they're going to
do" smiled the Nevada man. "My brother
brought one up from Arizona-wented him
for the children to play with. He slept in
the clock nights cause he liked to feel the
works scratch his back. 1t sort o soothed
him. But we noticed the most curious thing
about his rattles. Sometimes they would
be bigger than he was, and then again ne
wouldn't have but one or two little ones that
wasn't no good to snake of his size. When
he had the 'bigs, as we called it, lie was the
best-natured snake in the town, but when
they were small there was no getting close tc
him"
"How did you account for the change in
the rattles" asked the Texan.
at was long time before we got onto it"
returned the Nevada man. "But one night
we followed him. Where dye think we
found that snake? He was out in the woods
playin' seven-up, with three other snakes, for
rattles, and when we captured him he had
bushel of rattles ahead, had caught the jack,
and held the ace and low in his handF"
"Who pays for the drinks, gentlemenw in
quired the barkeeper solemnly.
And then they got up and wandered out
and were seen of men no more.

They are tied with faded blue ribbon
That begins to give token Of age,
And musty like odor arises
AS turn DER each closely -penned page,
And ! sit with my feet to the fire..
And read from beginning to end,
Till "My dearest, @My fondest, my truest,"
Fade away to Forever your friend"
They are crowded with terms of endearment
That tell Of passionate heart;
They are trimming with words OF affection
And a fragrance of love from the start;
Each sentence seems laden with perfume,
Each line as If set in a frame,
And the words at the end of each letter
Seem the dearest that mortal could name.
read of slow walks in the moonlight,
That seemed planned by the kindness OF
fate,
OF tete-a-tetes on the veranda,
Of lingering adieus at the gate;
OF hints, only hints, Of soft kisses,
That were far too seraphic to last;
OF suggestions Of treasured caresses
In those joy-sceptered days Of the past.
But carelessly ponder them over,
And quietly gaze in the fire,
Can arouse no sweet tunes to my Tyre,
And my heart at the past-time affection
Has not stirred since the reading began;
For the whole precious series of misslves
Belong to another man.

Responsibility Of work.


AS rule the ladies who scorn to earn
money do not scorn to take it as gift, says
lady writer Their natural protectors gone,
they will quarter themselves on any relative
who will open his house for them-a cousin,
cousins cOusin-any small plea of relation
ship is sufficient. They will actually go
a-begging in a delicate and dainty way
among friends. and receive anything any
Dne chooses TO give. And it is well known to
every one that any offer of marriage
to one Of them which promises a
comfortable home will be accepted This
is the best end to % hoped for, but if the
girls are not attractive, they pass from one
ong -suffering relative to another until they
are drought into" old ladies' homes or placed
IN genteel institutions, where they still boast
with their latest breath of their gentiity,
and are as proud Of never having earned
penny as they should be ashamed of it. Ger
tainly there are fewer such women in the
world to-day than there were twenty years
ago, but there are still enough 70 shame good,
independent girls out Of efforts in which they
should be Outraged, with the old bugaboo
story that "ladies never work for hveli-
hood" Ladies do, ladies will, if there is
any need of it; for a true lady would rather
10 anything honest than be an object OF
charity: and, in a womanlv way cutie con-
stent wiTl all feminine charms, rejolces in
The possibility Of independence.

Hcw to Termsnate the VlsIt.

American GlUeen.]
We ali know how Miss Betsy Austin, at
Peter Simple's renowned dignity ball, dis
missed her guests: "Now, ladies and gentle
men, ne tinlE It right to say dat it time to go
honne!" Some of US may feel tempted to wish
that such plain spanking was not altogether
out Of the question in New York drawing
ypors, Cor nothing malies hostess and her
guest moro uncomfortable than the evident
inability of some visitor to get away when
be or she hes paid sufficiently long call.
The art Of "entering a room" used to be
taught as an important detail OF g. young
lady7s department, but we regret that it has
never occurred to eny Que to inpart the art
Of executing graceful retreat. TO many
morning callers the thought that they must
la ten minutes or quarter Of an hour rise up
and take leave is dreadful bugbear; it
weighs down their conversation, keeps them
from entering into any wider subject than the
weather, for fear of missing an opportunity,
and communicates itself to the hostess, who
does allin her power to give them the occa-
Sou theF require, But When the Tirne comes
fIRt tho visit may be naturally concluded
they are u,aable to make up their minds to
go; they feel IS if something had been IN
satisfactory, and they dash recklessly into
fresh subjects, Ia the hopes of leaving better
impression.
Such visits arc misery to both parties; the
most equally minded hostess may well lose
her self-pussession as she sees the ill-concealed
anxiety CT her vis-a-vis, the longing looks
toward the door, the wavering attention and
random answers
In such eases it would be true boon could
some formula be adopted for giving these I'M
happy callers their congo, could the introduc-
tion Of some recognized topic give the signal
of release, or the arrival of another guest be
an established form Of dismissal to the first,
unless a marked request invited them to re-
main. For the appearance of a fresh set of
visitors is of no help to the callers who can
not get away, and only increases their suffer
ings. They look fustively at each other for
COUNSEL and the effort of rising and saying
goodbye is increased by the larger audience
We know friend who has been reduced to
the unusual expedient of seising a hesitating
visitor by the hand and saying warmly:
"Well, goodbye, I am sorry you must be 60
ing! SO glad to have seen you," etc., mean
while skillfully plotting the guest toward the
door, leaving him very little to do but to go
out Of it. This coup de theatre is magnificent
when well done; but there are very few peo-
pie who dare attempt it.

Hint to Young 1Fothers.
New York Post. ]


One reason why so many young mothers
do not look SO tidy and attractive as it is the
bounden duty of all women to look, is that
they do not accept the inevitable with the
proper spirit, and then adapt themselves to
it; for instance it is impossible to care for a
baby as it should be cared for, and yet to
wear as good dress as you wonld if you
were sitting down to do fancy work. The
usual dress when engaged in this occupation
should be of some material that will bear
sponging; then sponge and a bottle of diluted
ammonia should be kept near at hand. Of
aprons, there should be an unfailing supply, of
different sizes and degrees. Do not fail to
have at least two of the same len:ssttaa as your
errvss, and of two full breadths. 4 white one
of this style, trimmed all around with scarlet
machine embroidery, is actually becoming
to most women, and will save the cost many
times over by preserving the dress beneath.
Clothe yourself suitably, and then enjoy
rocking your baby. All other pleasures you
may hope to have repeated, but the joy of
being the mother of a baby is one which may
be yours but once, and that for SO short a
time that it will seem almost dream-Eke in
very few years

ROW to Keep a Hnsband.

IClara Belle in Cincinnati Enouirer.1
called on bride of few months early
one morning, and found her pouring the
breakfast coffee for her husband. She was
fairly submerged in the foamy pillows of a
sea-green robe, and on her head was cap of
more intricate construction than I could
clearly describe in half column. After she
had kissed hor spouse goodbye for the day,
and we were alone, in her boudoir, she
threw off the head-dress, and changed the
elaborate gown for a plain one.
Goodness mol" said, "is it possible that
you achieve such a careful toilet simply for
your husbandp
"Safe to bet on it, Clara" was the reply.
"You mean to marry some timea Well, take my
advice. When you have once taken hus-

A whistle Kseard Thirteen Miles.

ELECTROMAGNETIC " d. OSA6fSOuldQ.
The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad has de-
cided to put upon its passenger engines
steamboat whistles. At present six engines
are thus supplied, and soon all of the passen-
ger engines will have them. They will be
very convenient both to the public and the
employees Of the road, as indicating on the
approach of train whether it is passenger
OF freight. The Staunton Vindicator, in COM
menting on this innovation in railroading,
says that the whistle can be heard at great
distance A brakeman on one of the night
trains coming from Staunton to the west the
other night says when he got home his wife
told him she had heard the whistle at dis
lance in the still night air, had gotten up,
made fire, and cooked his supper by the
time her husband reached home. 1t turned
out that the whistle she had heard had been
blown at North Mountain, about thirteen
miles distant.

Etiquette of Visiting.

tNeW I OK IguoeQ.l
The orthodox hours for calling are from
to 6 in winter, and from 8 to $50 in summer:
cards may, of course, be left later. 1t is not
correct to call before 8, for most people lunch
between l and 2 o'clock; if there have been
any visitors the meal is only just over, and it
is annoying to hostess to be summoned from
table by the announcement that a too-early
guest is in the drawing-room. 1t is only init
mate friends who call after in winter or
$3.50 in summer, but there is wide margin
left for acquaintance, even if the hostess
has not special day when every one may be
sure Of finding her. 1t is great mistake to
imagine, as some ladies seem to do,
that they may take in any friend with whom
they are driving on lady's at home
day. 1t is quite as great liberty as if they
took her to party to which she was not in
vited. Ordinary visits last from ten min
utes to a quarter Of an hour. 1t is usual,
however, when a second visitor arrives for
the first to take her leave, unless she is well
acquainted with the newcomer. Individual
tact must decide as to what must be done in
number of instances. This is particularly
the case in the matter Of introduetions
Speaking boldly, it is more usual not to in
troduce morning visitors to each other, trust
ing to their s2voir faire to talk generally,
when the desired object is attained. But
sometimes introduction is desirable, and this
must be left entirely to the tact and judg-
nlent OF the hostess ..
