The Hunger for Trailing Dry Goods
TSt Louis Republican.

There never lived probably little girl
who, at the age of short frocks, cut down
from an elder sisters or her mothers's gowns,
would not rise early, when the dew lay
sparkling on the tall meadow grass, and be-
take herself to the fields and then ostenta-
tiously parade by the hour over milkweeds,
mayapple, pennyroyal and other herbs to
mark the effect of a trail, freely scattering
with rank, green, herbaceous juice the
snowy petticoats and pantalettes with
this hard effort to be a sure-enough,
grown-up lady. Every little girl has had her
mind made up long before she ceased wear
ing the "cut over" gowns as to the number of
long dresses she would have in few years
and the outrageous length of those comet
like addenda to them. 1t is as natural for
feminine mind to hunger for trailing dry
goods as it is for little doll mothers to nurse
through the whooping-cough, chicken-pox
and measles their pug-nosed, sawdust-lined
mock families. There is nothing so human,
after all, as human nature.

LOng-Haired Women.

IEACIIUIIS5V.I
At one of his lectures recently, DIR. Eras-
mus Wilson exhibited a woman 50 years old.
and five feet five inches high, whose tresses,
when she stood erect, onveloped her entire
form in golden veil, and trailed several
inches ON the ground. The longest fibres
measured six feet three and a half inches.
Thirty inches is the mean length for the hair
of females, and three feet is considered of re-
markable length. This instance, he said, was
exceeded by two American women, one
whose hair measured seven feet six inches,
and another, the wife of druggist in Phila-
delphia, whose luxuriant hair was almost as
long, and so thick that when seated on a
chair she could completely cover herself
with it.

A Five Months Trance.
[Chicago Herald. ]

A case of trance has lately ended i'll Glas-
gov. A woman 81 years Of age has lain since
June last in n state of coma, motionless with
closed eyes, pulse Of about eighty per min
ute natural temperature, and normal breath
ing. Consciousness was entirely absent until,
at the end of November, she suddenly awoke,
and is now recovering her wonted strength,
During her long sleep she was fed daily by a
stomach tube. The case is well-nigh unique
on account of its duration. These frances
are the puzzle of the psychologist, and simu-
late death so closely that patients have been
in danger of burial alive.

A boy that evidently has in him the prom
Use of character, lives in South Manchester.
He is but years old, but he has views of his
own. Last summer dressed in the feminine
frock that is used for all children of tender
age, he wandered to his uncle's, and spied in
the garden some violets that he suddenly
wanted. But he approached the subject in
tentative, polite way. He asked his uncle
"if he knew" the flowers were out
there: eyes," the unc.e said, II planted them
there would you like to have some of them?"
II don't care if 1 do" was the infants slow
and unlooked-for answer. "Don't care If you
do! Well, l never give flowers to boys that
don't care for them" The enfant terrible
was not to be baked or baffied, or even
driven from his ground. He astonished his
uncle with lawyer-like discrimination in
vindicating his attitude by deliberately max
ing this answer: II don't care if do, but
do care if don't!' He got the violets.

Mary Anderson's Course.

Inc CuITenC.
Mary Anderson says she has faithfully fol-
lowed Longfellow's advice, given her at the
Threshold of her career, that she should see
a beautiful picture, read beautiful poem,
and hear some beautiful music every day.
The effect of such a course upon the mind
and heart of an individual devoted to par
ticular sphere of art, is to quicken all noble
impulses, to freshen the spirit, and to prevent
the artist becoming the unambitious slave
of a Mearsome routine.

For Ten Dollars.


A young lady writes to know 'if she can
possibly get up neat and stylish costume
for So" She certainly can, says New
York fashion writer. There are plenty OF
fine winter fabrics to be bought for less than
60 cents yard, double width, and in all the
new dark shades. She must first purchase
Jersey to match exactly the shade OF her
goods, which can be bought for $3.50 in good
firm qualities of fine wool stockinette, and
perfect in fit. Young ladies have long ago
discovered that the Jersey is very useful as
well as an ornamental bodice, and that, in
the construction of "home made" toilet, it
is now comparatively an easy matter to
produce a very creditable and satisfactory
costume when the ever-for1nidable question
of "good fit" has not to be taken into &C
count in its construction. The Jersey comes
ready to be put on, and a killed skirt with
scarf drapery or apron tunic is all that Is
worn with this bodice Nothing is easier
made than killed skirt, and nothing is more
easily draped and adjusted than scarf or
apron tunic. With the money left from the
purchase of the Jersey the "Young lady from
Brooklyn" can obtain sufficient material for
her skirt and drapery.

The Tendency in Gloves.


There is a growing tendency in fashionable
circles to shorten the extravaganza length of
dress gloves. Many women who give great
heed to all innovations of fashion are wear
ing gloves in four or five button lengths,
thus leaving quite a space between the edge
of the glove and that of the sleeve Up till
now it has long been deemed inadmis-
sible to expose any portion of the arm what
evar. The change will be best accepted by
women who have arms, not sticks, so called.

Household Hints.

Pieces of cheese cloth make the very best
kind of busters. Hem the edges, and have a
large enough supply SO that one set can be
washed each week.
If the boys shoes are stiff from having
been wet, rub them at night with little
castor oil. This will soften them and make
them comfortable again.
Pudding made of cracked wheat is very
agreeable and nourishing. To one quart OF
sweet milk allow nearly half cupful OF
cracked wheat; put it in pudding dish and
bake slowly for two hours, stirring it several
times.
If your hall is lighted by means of glass in
the door, a pretty way to arrange curtain
is to tack it to the top and bottom; then tie
ribbon around the curtain in the middle; do
not tie it SO close that the folds will be stiff
and ungraceful, but let them hang loosely,
and have the bow on the inside.
