IMPERIAL PURPLE.
Revival of . Shade That Has Been Banished
for Years.

Revival Of . Shade That Has Been Banished
for Years.
Word reaches America that all shades
OF purple from ''prune de Monsieur" to
that of that of the deepest royal dye,
will again be in fashion. For num-
Der of years this color has been BAN
ished from fashions eteliers, and upon
the promenade purple was never seen
on any but those who had an utter dis
regard for fashions dictation. Now
the despised hue is to assert its SUI
premacy," and in other than the strict
est sense will be royal purple once
more. The Princess of Wales, it is
reported, has appeared in a costume of
Lyons velvet of this color trimmed with
bands of golden-brown beaver, which
makes another strong move in its favor.
The shade, however, is most trying
one to the complexion; not one woman
in forty really looks well in it. Where
there is a lack of color, or there is the
least possible tinge of sallowness in the
complexion, the proximity of purple
produces a grayish sagey hue that is
far from attractive Then, again, to
don purple orviolet necessitates COM
plete accompaniment of accessories
which shall be in keeping with it,
"dittos," as they are phrased by the
tailor. The color hardly allows of any
admixture except pale brown, gold or a
lighter shade of its own particular hue,
and so despotic is this law that it may
well be given its new name, Imperial
purple. IN. Y. Post.

EARLY IMPRESSIONS.

1t is very important fact, and one
never to be lost sight by mothers, that
the education of an infant begins at birth.
The moral atmosphere by which it is sur
rounded will, in great measure, determine
its future character. Parents often do
and say things in the sight and hearing
of little children which they would be
ashamed of in the presence Of an older
person. Every outburst of temper, every
peevish or fretful word, is photographed
upon the mental constitution Of the child,
never to be effaced, although, of course.
after-training may modify the impression.
1t is not to be wondered at that mothers
worn down with a weight of carej and
overwork are sometimes fretful; but if
they would remember that every hasty
word IN baby's presence must come back
to them in a still greater weight of care,
perhaps they would exercise higher de-
gree of self control.
Poor, tired mothers! What but the
wonderful mother-loye could carry them
| bringing up of a young family? But there
are many ways in which we can tighten
our cares, and one of them is self-control
| in our conduct towards the little ones.
1t may not seem quite plain to one who
had never thought upon the subject how
a moral act of any kind could influence a
little creature unable to comprehend be-
yond the mere physical needs of its little
body. OF course it does not know why a
loving word and smile gives it pleasure,
and the reverse pain. But you and l
| ought to be able to understand that every
| manifestation of emotion of whatever ma
ture always acts upon the feelings of the
child; therefore every deed of ours ought
to be such as to call into action the best
feelings of their nature, since the mind
will become biassed in the direction tow
ards which it is oftenest drawn 1t is,
then, fact easy of comprehension that
whatever we wish our children to become
must ourselves be- for whether we will it
or not, our everyday actions ale our
babyS teachers.-S. e. H.

ed and the sick, she settled brotherly
quarrels, she was our confidante and adj
wiser, and we never grew too old to "ask
mother" Never did one of US give her
saucy word or refuse to obey her in all
the years she remained with US, and she
lived to see US all married. Are there
many mothers who can say the same?
She used to tell us stories sometimes
of her own childish days, and remember
that she once told us that our grandmoth-
er built the first oven built in the town
in which mother was born.
Like all primitive travellers in those
days, he who would try his fortune in a
strange land loaded his worldly goods
into large covered wagon and with
them ''mother and the little ones while
''rather and the boys" plodded on afoot
and in this manner sought for new pas
lures. In like manner came grandfather
to seek his fortune ing Northern Vermont.
Bread, or its substitute, was cooked III a
skillet over the fire, but grandmother de-

day when the 'smenfolks'' were all gone
fishing she built an oven of cobble
stones, plastered with mud and that
night for the first time in the new settle
ment the hungry family ate bread that
was baked.
The mail was brought to us once Il
week by an old man on horseback, whose
name was Curtis, and the only newspaper
North Star then printed at Danville.
Merchants brought their goods from Bos-
ton by team and transported tons of
country produce to that city in the same
manner. The power of steam as a means
of transportation had not been establish
ed, and 1 we'll remember scraps of con-
versatiOn relative to the construction of
the railroad between Boston and Lowell.
':It would never be successful" eff rail-
roads came into use, horses would not be
worth raising" etc. In those days a
good horse could be bought for $40.
ssYork -four" could be had at Burlington,
and people who used it had to go there
after it; few people used it however,
domestic wheat and corn being the sta
plies Of food.
We dressed in homespun, for the most
part, the girls had each summer new
calico dress which they wore ''for hand
some" that summer, and the next summer
wore it "every day" They also wove
for themselves each year a ''linsey wool
sy" dress which they wore two winters,
like the calico in the summer. Our boots
and shoes were made of cowhide and
calf skin, by the shoemaker at the near
est village. Thus we lived in those good
old days sixty years ago. We worked,
we play ed, we hunted, we tished, and we
enjoyed ourselves as only Il large family
of healthy, hearty children can.
| 'Days that gone seem the brightest
With all their pleasure and pain,
| Sorrows of youth seem the lightest
| Oh, could we share them again.

CHOOSING A HUSBAND.-ChooSe busy
man for hnsband-one who has plenty
to occupy his mind and talk about. 1t is
the man with many interests, with en-
crossing occupation, with plenty of peo-
| pie to fight, with a struggle to maintain
| himself against the the world who is the
| real domestic man in the wife's sense
who enjoys home, who is tempted to
make friend of his wife, who relishes
prattle, who feels in the home circle,
where nobody is above him, as if he were
in a haven of relaxation. The drawback
of home life, containing possibilities of
| insipidity and sameneSS and consequent
| WEAKNESS, is never present to such a
man. He no more tires of his wife and
children than of his own happier moods
No more bored with home than sleep. All
the monotony and WEAKNESS of life he
encounters outside. 1t is the pleasure
loving man, the merry companion, who
finds home life uncomfortable. He soon
grows weary oft, and considers every
thing so tame that it is impossible for
him TO DE happy, or to feel that he is less
unhappy there than elsewhere.

''When it begins to cry l smear the
tips of its little fingers with molasses,
and give it a few feathers to hold in one
hand. Its attention becomes aroused and
it picks of the feathers with the other

hand, of course, and the little darling
picks them off again. The little angels
